CLASS POEM Onward, class of twenty-three! Excelsior let your motto be! Do your duty, great or small, Do it well and do it all. Bexley’s loving gates no more to enter, Leaving for a more learned center; Concentrate, be true and staunch, Ambition calls; success you’ll launch. Our life before us is an ocean wide, Unknown to us what brings the tide; Mystery to us, for naught know we What fate has destined our future to be. Time flies by; the day draws near, We leave thee, Bexley, to begin our career; Oh! my classmates, to part ’tis sad, Leaving you and the happiness we had. But onward, class of twenty-three! Excelsior let your motto be! Live up to that word, Strive to do! Make life worth while and Bexley proud of you. MARION GILBERG, ’23. -

THE BEXLONIAN 25 through the entire evening. This is, however, a characteristic of all Bexley’s good times—not only the graduating class. That year we said goodby to our school building and in the fall of 1922 entered the new building. Seniors at last! Now, indeed, we were the all- important class of the school. No one (with the exception of the juniors) de- nied this. The familiar roll call given by Miss Comstock every morning and noon consists of Josephine Atkinson, Bernice Barton, Robert Edwards, Harry Kuhn, John Sidman, Berwyn Legg, Louise Lloyd, Willeen Ludwig, William McConnell, Marian Office, Marian Gilberg, Sophia Petzinger, Viv- ian Moyer, Edna Pyle, Ruth Poole, Ver- non Ridgway, Arthur Stocker, Clar- ence Russel, Gladys Schaaf, Grace Tar- bert, Mildred Wells, Lindley Williams. The senior class officers are Gladys Schaaf, president; William McConnell, vice president; Mildred Wells, secre- tary; Clarence Russel, treasurer; Ar- thur Stocker, class representative. The senior faculty was increased, too, Mr. Beck, our principal, was the only former member to stick with us. Then we had Miss Comstock, our registration teacher, and our best friend; Miss Courtright, Miss McCormick, Miss Geist, Mrs. Brightman, Miss Thomas, Mr. Smith, Mr. Fromm, Mr. Leissener, Miss Johnson and Miss Abbott. The social consisted of a wiener roast, which, due to rain, ended at Grace Tarbert’s; and the senior-junior, and the junior-senior at the school. Just before Christmas vacation the class arranged a Christmas party, to take place in the registration room. There was a gift for everyone, ranging from dolls to diamonds, and all pur- chased at five and ten-cent stores. We had an adorable little Christmas tree, punch, nabiscoes, and everything. The senior basket ball team beat the juniors, who had previously beaten the sophs and freshies. The senior boys’ basket ball team were official cham- pions. The champion speller, Mildred Wells, is a senior. In athletics, in class work, in work, in plays, the seniors are always in the lead. It is fitting them for everything to sing in a loud voice: Here’s to our seniors, Hale fellows, well met, Their jolly good times Never shall we forget. First in pleasure, first in work, Sparkling with honors, never shirk— Here’s to our seniors! GLADYS SCHAAF. -------B------- WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF— Joe started to diet? Bee would not laugh for ten minutes? Bob would forget to tell about his latest exploits? Marian, “Fluey,” would keep quiet for five minutes? Harry would be without his flivver? Burs would stop telling about the 50- yard dash he won in 1922? Sally Lloyd wouldn’t go to the doc- tor’s for a week? Wieners didn’t scoot down the hall every day? Wid was late? Marian Office came to school with straight hair? Sophia didn’t make a basket? Edna skipped a class? Ruth forgot her comb? Vernie wasn’t always on hand to help? Art wouldn’t try to be “cute?” Russ would.stop smoking? Gladys forgot her make-up? Grace didn’t recollect a home rem- edy? Lin wasn’t teasing some one? Mildred didn’t have her lesson? Miss Comstock lost her temper. Mr. Beck censored this publication? -------B------- WANTED A Powder Puff.........Gladys Schaaf A Mirror . ...............Ruth Poole Something to Eat...........Marion Gilbert Bobbed Hair ......Josephine Atkinson A Girl ...............Arthur Stocker A Private Desk..........Mildred Wells
