It's not completely clear what the Godwin Association was, save that it was a vehicle for alumni to get together now and then. Over what period it existed is not known. In year 2008 the Golden G serves the same purpose. See section "G" for details about the Golden G.

The photograph above depicts a various different world from that of 2008. It is hardly imagineable to have a superintendent of a large school participate in a class play in year 2008. Charles Knapp was a school board member in 1945 yet. Stanley Gaver had a jewelry store just south of the gas station in the southeast corner of 36th Street and Division Avenue. This kind of community involvement is surely a big part of what made Godwin work in the past.
