Oviedo (Fla.)
Clubs--United States
A list of magazine subscriptions held by members of the Oviedo Magazine Club, which would later become the Oviedo Woman's Club (OWC), in 1916. Subscriptions included <em>The Century Magazine</em> for Mrs. Crawford, <em>Harper's Magazine</em> for Mrs. Stoner, <em>Pictorial Review</em> for Mrs. West, <em>Good Housekeeping</em> for Ms. Lawton, <em>Munsey's Magazine</em> for Mrs. Cushing, and <em>The Delineator</em> for Mrs. Dixon.<br /><br />The Oviedo Woman's Club was founded in 1906 as the Oviedo Magazine Club by seven charter members: H. B. McCall, Edith Meade, Georgia Lee Wheeler, Lillian Lee Lawton, Mattie Aulin Wheeler, Milcah Yonge, and Mary King. The first clubhouse was constructed in 1914 and also served as Oviedo's first library. In 1916, the club joined the FFWC and officially changed its name to the Oviedo Woman's Club. In 1923, the woman's club was federated under the umbrella of the GFWC. A new clubhouse was built in 1961 on property donated by R. L. Croom, a former member, which is located at 414 King Street. The Oviedo Woman's Club is involved in many civic projects, including the annual Great Day in the Country Arts and Crafts Festival, the Spring Fundraiser, Tasting Luncheons, and Celebrate Spring Teas.

World War I, 1914-1918
The 1918 <em>Pandora</em> yearbook for Sanford High School. 1918 was the only year that Sanford High published its yearbook under the name <em>Pandora</em>. Due to World War I, the 1918 yearbook staff published a pamphlet version of a yearbook in an effort to save materials. The pamphlet was named <em>Pandora</em>, deviating from the traditional <em>Salmagundi</em>, to honor this special issue. Edna F. Chittenden was the editor-in-chief of the 1918 <em>Pandora</em>. It has 20 pages, and does not feature any advertisements. Topics of interest include student writings, such as "How The Present European War Has Affected The Position of Women." Other features of the 1918 <em>Pandora</em> are poetry, locals and socials, a class history, and statistics. <br /><br />Sanford High School was originally established at 301 West Seventh Street in Sanford, Florida, in 1902. The building was designed by W. G. Talley in the Romanesque revival style. Due to an increasing student population, a new school building was constructed on Sanford Avenue in 1911. The original building on Seventh Street served as Westside Grammar Elementary School, which was later renamed Sanford Grammar School. In 1984, the building was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places and converted into the Student Museum. The building reopened as the University of Central Florida's Public History Center in 2012. In 1927, a high school campus was designed by Elton J. Moughton in the Mediterranean revival style and constructed at 1700 French Avenue. The school reopened on January 10 and was renamed Seminole High School. In 1960, the high school moved to a new campus at 2701 Ridgewood Avenue and the former building on French Avenue was converted to Sanford Junior High School, which was later renamed Sanford Middle School. The old building was demolished in the summer of 1991 and replaced by a $5.77 million school complex. As of 2013, Seminole High School offers various Advanced Placement courses, the Academy for Health Careers, and the International Baccalaureate Programme for students.
