.-;$1rt' H WARD wooDDOGs WITH WILLING HANDS stadents work hard for Woodward. Taking pride in their schooPs appearance, girls spent December Saturdays decorating the main hall for Christmas. Armed with picks and shovels, teen-age volunteers turned over the sod of the Quadrangle, preparing it for the spring planting of grass and shrubs. To further enhance the beauty of the face their school pre- sents to Cincinnati, Student Council and Art League planned and hnanced the landscaping around the statue of William Woodward. In 1962 as in the past, athletes and performers practiced many hours in hopes that their physical strength, mental alertness, and spiritual courage would bring glory to Woodward. In the hook- room and in the student store, on the football field and on the auditorium stage, behind film projectors and atop ladders, Wood- ward students serve their school.
