The American Institute of Architects has a program that is currently going on called ABC (Architecture by Children) http://www.aiacincinnati.org/community/abc.cfm

This year Woodward asked our local AIA chapter if they could participate in the ABC Program. When the call went out to the Architects for someone to head the program at Woodward, I volunteered. Originally I spoke to about 24 interested students.(11th and 12th graders). This reduced down to about 7 once they saw the large amount of work required to be in the program and the complexity. This group is now down to 5 students. They are dedicated to this project and will be presenting their final project at the end of February at a gala event at the Museum Center. A number of dignitaries will be there including the Mayor.

I teach them 2X a week and the experience for me has been truly a pleasure to perform. These kids are bright, involved, and energetic to prove to the community that a school like Woodward (which is now a technical school mostly for underprivileged kids) can still go head to head with the likes of Walnut Hills, which is still much more academically inclined.

I think this would be a great way to utilize some of our money that we generated at the reunion. I would be more than happy to create some kind of award/recognition to the 5 students for participating in this program on behalf of the Woodward class of 67. I was thinking along the lines of about $50-100.00 per student. This would be an enormous incentive to have future students participate in future years. It also means that potentially we would do this next year.

Thanks, Stan

Message from Walter Schmidt I ran across this while I was searching through some old projects that I did in my printing classes.   It is a history of Woodward written by a decendent of William Woodward.  Facts are reported to be true, however, some are a little different than others I have seen.  The book was printed and binding done by the school shop.  I did most of it myself, coming in early before school.  The project was pulled and scrapped, I was not told why.   The last I knew of the book, it was put into the vault, where the copies are now is anyone's guess.  I have a full copy, not in good shape, 111 pages, printed in 1965. Just thought someone might be interested that this exists.
Message from Paul Hendrick I edited a history of WHS written by Tom Woodward, Class of 1964, and have a copy. There was a vault off the main office at Woodward - maybe they copies are there.  Or work was done to restore the Jones Room as a Museum - perhaps books were located then.  I know the portrait of Cleon Wingard that was a gift from the Class of 65 was on display at his funeral a few months ago.  I was glad it had not just disappeared in whatever has happened to and with Woodward over the years.  Cleon and his son had gone to the school to inquire about it when Cleon wanted to have it for some reunion or something.  They told him it was in storage somewhere in the school and he could have it.  Has anyone asked at the school?  Does anyone know how to get in touch with Tom Woodward?  I'm sure he is outof town and have heard nothing of him in years and years.
