The growth of the class in numbers and in activities should stimulate an emulation from future classes that should be productive of retained ideals and continued loyalty. With a sense of best efort ewpended and of fdelity of student life portrayed, may the 'wish be realized that Alma Mater be ever nearer and dearer as time advances.

Enter Ohio State University Tllli BICXLONI.-XN 23 LABS Hliill In the fall of the year 1920 the second Freshman class of Bexley High assembled under the registration of Miss Seitz on the second floor of the old school building. The class consisted of twenty-two members. llue to the poor facilities for handling phy- sical education and having but a meager varsity athletic program and other outside attractions, the students naturally turned their attentions and efforts to their text books, which resulted in a maximum standard which is still being sought for by the present day under classmcn. It is amazing how this class developed their minds scientifically, under the primitive conditions that existed, that of having laboratory class in the attic. where the class gathered at irregular periods and beheld the famazingj reactions which were performed by Prof. Bunyan, in the four test tubes with sulfuric water and some few available compounds which were found about the building. These reactions were hastened by the heat of an alcohol lamp. In the middle of the year a stranger came into our midst who was none other than Amelia C'avey. Otherwise the year passed un- eventfully. Again in the following fall we assembled in our old quarters. This year Miss Ness. Miss IValter and Mr. Beck were added to the faculty. The new principal was in- formally introduced to a few of the fellows by Mr. Doran, who had had the pleasure of making his acquaintance at the Itushville track meet. This year the social program was more extensive, consisting of a wiener roast and llalloweien party, taffy pull and topped off by a mammouth picnic at Briggsdale. The class had diminished somewhatg I.es- ter Oestreicher dropped out of the class the latter part of the first year on account of illness, Lloyd and Fred Kruckepurg. Paul I.etty and ltuth ltussell failed to return. It is said tllat a rabbit retraces its steps when pursuedg so did Mac fSkunkj Shuffel- barger, return again to Bexley Iligh from Capital University. Other new members who entered and were initiated were Fred QNappyQ Hayes, Sarah Polster, Ilarold I.avely. Marjorie Penfield. Jeanette Newton and Helen Pryor. In 1921 and 1922 the citizens of Bexley erected a new High School and the most important event was the entrance of the Class of 192-L into the annals of this new building. 1Ve registered under the guidance of Miss McCormick, a new teacher. Other new mem- bers of the faculty were Misses Comstock, Geist, Courtwriglit. Thomas. Abbott. John- son and Mrs. Brightman, Messrs. Smith, From and I.eissner. The class was extremely glad to emerge from the old building and joyfully handed the keys to Mr. Bittner and Mr. Hartman. Ivith the election of class oflieers. class colors were also chosen and revised twice in our .lunior year. Socially we expanded by stag- ing a wicner roast at the Storage Dam. XVC successfully sponsored a Faculty .lunior dinner in the School Cafeteria shortly after Thanksgiving. The next social event was a Hall0we'en party at Harold I.avely's which was enjoyed by everyone. At Christmas time we decorated our room with red and green ribbons. with a fireplace as a special feature. constructed by Clown Iveiffenback, Carl Phalor and Harold I.avely. The girls served delightful punch and candy. and the boys furnished the nutritious Eskimo pies. On the evening of .lanuary 6. 1923, we attended as guests a Senior-Junior in the High School Auditorium. In May we had our chance to entertain, and gave the Seniors a well planned pro- gram. Une of the features of the night's en- tertainment was a Spring dance,', by Do- lores Seehel, one of our talented members. Instead of a lone pianist. we furnished a six-piece orchestra. We did unto them as they did not do unto us. On the 1-L7th an- niversary of our country's independence, we 24 THE BEXLONIAN quietly and fittingly celebrated the day by holding a class picnic at Mt. Pleasant. VVe were glad to receive on our class roll the new members, Ruth Shears, Red Hieronymus, Fred Sauers, Dan Sheatsley and our permanent circus, Clown VVeiffen- bach. In the fall of this year we were bereft of our companion and classmate, Or- delle Steele. Seniors at last, but ah! too soon, for the joys of our former years are remembered and cherished dearly. Now begins the out- line of our long sought year, that of being seniors and graduates of Bexley High School. The enrollment of the class is twenty-seven and its tardinesses and ab- sences are carefully checked by our registra- tion teacher, Mr. Smith. With the sailing of Miss Courtright and Miss Abbott on the sea of matrimony, two vacancies were left on the faculty which have been ably filled by Miss Mathiot and Miss Brown, and Mr. Geist has been added to the mathematical department. Five pupils have applied for membership in this year's graduating class: Florence Harris, YVilma Jones, James lNIcCann, lNIil- dred Herr and Charlotte Tomlinson. But Mac Shuffelbarger and Marjorie Penfield have been dropped from the roll. Thus far we have said nothing about the social events in our Senior year. The initial event was the customary 'wiener roast which was held at the home of Ethel Dunlop, due to unfav- orable weather. The basement of the home Senku Some people are called dumbbells Qa po- lite way of telling them that they are a joke walking around on two legs.j Some of these also are so dumb they think ground hog is a sausage. This is not true. Noah Dictionary VVebster says that a joke is something said or done to excite laughter. Have you ever heard of a carried joke? There are many of them in the poor house of Bexley High fold and worn outj. These are transplanted from one person to another. This is carrying a joke too far. This joke has also been carried too far but hold the rain of eggs and cabbage in rein and the readers who survive may get a sample of some good first class foolishness. of Dclpha Byall was the scene of our Hallo- we'en festivities. A good time was enjoyed by the revelers. In February, 1924 we again showed our ability to entertain by being hosts to the Juniors in the magnificently decorated High School Auditorium. By being the sponsors of this event we set a new standard for inter-class functions. In speaking of inter-class activities we are proud to state that our girls have been bas- ketball champions for the last two years, no inter-class tournaments having been prev- iously held. The boys in their Senior year won the coveted basketball championship and also placed five regulars on the undefeated var- sity football team, as well as three regulars on the basketball team. It was decided at a class meeting that our last social function should be in the form of a hard time party and to be held at the home of Jane Wilcox. Every one realized that this was our last party, we had a good time and hard time eats were served. In our class we have four scholars who have Hnished the regular High School course in three years, one of which has gained admission to the honorary so- ciety, of this distinction we are very proud. The time is drawing near when graduation days will sever our friendship at least to a fairly large degree. Therefore, let us strive, Seniors, to make these closing days days of happiness and loving kindness. NIILTON S1-i:aA'rsLEY, President.

Some now will go to college, Others out into the world. Yet let us always strive for knowledge, And strengthen our grasp on that valuable pearl. Still be not sad, classmates, cheer up! Let not this parting break our friendship true. For love cannot with cords be tied, Love is made of a different hue, Later wllen you have attained your height, Forget not your class nor the blue and whiteg She has taught you much you know, Though at times you seemed to learn quite slow. So here's to Old Bexley, pure and serene! Hold her and guard her and keep her supreme. And here's to the Class of '24, May her spirit pervade forever-more. VVILLIAM BENZIN.

Today we started our summer advertising cam- paign. The Bexley Press sent a representa- tive down to the office to get our copy for an ad , I happened to be in, and who do you think he was? Allen Kerr! He has gotten thin since he left Bexley High. He misses the crackers and pretzels which used to be smuggled into English. Our advertis- ing manager was busy so we had quite a talk together. He said that Red, due to the influence of Miss Mathiott, finally went into Social Service work. April 5.-At the advice of Allen I went to see Muriel Jones today. She is an ex- clusive dress designer, so exclusive in fact, that this is the first time I have heard of her. I did succeed in selling her a Lincoln. April 20.-Last week I was down in the southern part of the state on business and in one of the towns in which I stopped I heard of a chatauqua program which was being given then. Alice Reed was dated for that night. She has become a very popular reader, so I stayed to hear her and afterwards we had a fine talk about old times. She is as talkative as ever and told me about most of our old classmates and I intend to look them up. She said that Amelia Cavey is a play- ground supervisor. Also her old friend, Sarah Polster, has been recently appointed state librarian. May l.-Today was a typical Spring day. I had Spring fever, so after a short morn- ing's work I decided to attend the May-day festivities in the beautiful garden of Delores Sec-kel's Dancing Academy. Mildred Herr's oldest daughter was one of the solo dancers. Milly was very well pleased with her, she is as jolly and good-natured as ever. May 8.-I seem to be getting the habit of running into old friends. I met Bill Benzin on the street today. He informed me that his newspaper had nearly gone to smash. In fact, things had been so bad that he had been compelled to hire James McCann, an efficiency expert. Jimmie's first job was to reprimand Harold Lavely, the treasurer, for donating the paper's money to Red for his welfare work. May 10.-Florence Harris dropped in to- day. Said that she had just been relieved from a very difficult case at the hospital. Wilma Jones had an explosion at her chem- ical research laboratory. She was badly in- jured but is getting along fine now, and I am going to see her tomorrow evening. May 11.-VVent to see VVilma. Elizabeth Burkart was there also. Just as we expected, she is a lawyer and is going to give a lecture soon on VVoman's Place in Politics. She is still interested in dogs and asked me to go to the Dog Show which is being sponsored by tl1e Columbus Kennel Club. May 12.-The Dog Show was fine. The prize Pekencse was owned and exhibited by Carl Weiifenbach. I made a sale today to Ida Ford. She is teaching in a country school and needs a machine to make the trip to and from school. While I am on the sub- ject of schools, I must record the fact that Fred Sauers is visiting the high schools of the country as a champion typist. Lucile keeps his typewriter in fine condition. May 13.-Ever since Delores' May-day dances I have been wondering who did the wonderful landscape work for her, and today I learned that Dan Sheatsley did all of itg he is a very successful gardener, I guess. May 20.-I tuned my radio in this evening and heard 'that Carl Phalor is a slick sleuth -he is after sound waves from Mars. Bex- ley High's Alumni reception takes place June 8. I won't miss that because our class is going to have a reunion since it is the twen- tieth anniversary of our graduation. Ethel Dunlop's home economic classes end VVed- nesday so she can be there, too. Jane Mc- Kinley is the only member of the class that ean't come. She's still in India engaged in mission work. June 9.-The reception was a grand suc- cess. It was great to see all the old bunch together again. Even Mr. Beck was there, still young in spirit. Of course, Delpha Byall insisted that we sing the old class song. Del has become one of the most popu- lar club women in the VVest. We all con- gratulated Sabina Petzinger on her success in the Olympic games. She is now world 30 THE' BEXLONIAN .H111111im1mimmumumum . ..1IIIIIIInmnmmmmmn mmmIiIn1v1nunnnnmmmummumutm tennis champion.

So this is the end of our high school days, Near the end of our childhood too, And it leaves a thought that is big and Warm With a longing that is so trueg For experience has painted our high school days, With colors that never fade. And we find at the end of our Senior year, We must part with the friends we have made.

Mr. Smith and Miss Mathiott were very jolly chaperones. 131.- Genevieve Moores invited the Juniors on St. Patrick's Day to one of the most en- joyable parties ever given. We played games, danced and listened over the radio. Mrs. Moores and Genevieve were very de- lightful hostesses. Miss Kathryn Comstock, Miss Marion Thomas, and Miss Alice Mathiott were also present. The Juniors are now looking forward to the Annual Junior-Senior Prom, on May 24. We expect to make it one of the biggest, merriest and most enjoyable entertainments ever held in dear old Bexley's Auditorium. MARGARET SHELKY.

THE BEXLGNIAN ' Litemr Department ' A Poem I whispered to the murmuring trees, A story as of old, 'U The trees in turn told all the birds, Adventures true and bold. The bird grown weary as in flight, Settle down into the dales, And resting there by babbling brooks, Related twice told tales. And thus a smile was whispered Unto the trees, Then unto the dale and babbling brook, Told by the birds and bees. The brook murmuring o'er the rocks and sand, Leaving no footprints there, But a smile saw all who passed, Unbending a world of care. Then a smile is a print in the sands of life, Though no noble deed planted there, It saved the world a burden of woe As it passed unnoticed there. THE BEXLONIAN 41 Vive les Dieusl PREFACE In this play the author attempts to bring out that in the head of modern earth- dwellers there remains the ancient ideas and thoughts, while in the ancient Gods and God- desses are modern thoughts and customs. This play is based on history. The Tokio earthquake in which a great number were killed, is the basis and plot of the play. The author trys to show the reader the fear in the heart of ancients of their Gods. This should correspond since we should fear our Father in Heaven. with the people of today, Sincerely, W. H.

Soon Europe will be in a turmoil, a real Pandora's box of trouble will be opened and introduced to the European society. QEnter Hermes with Orcusj Zeus: Greetings, Orcus, how goes it in the under- world? Orcus: More are coniined to Tartarus than to the Elysian Fields, and a great multitude are in Hades.

Zeus: The Council will please come to order, and we shall harken to the words of wisdom and of oratory about to flow from the silver- tongued and sage ruler of the ocean, Poesidon. Poesidon: I sincerely thank your brother for your kind introduction. But I am no orator, still I shall attempt to place before you the nude facts which have been requested by my i'nmortal brother. These wars are constantly sending ships to the bottom of the sea. My sea nymphs dislike this as it interferes with their assigned duties and it often disturbs their habi- tations. My sea maidens almost refuse to work under such conditions. It was the suggestion of one of these maidens that the ships and de- bris be covered with dirt from the earth's sur- face. What is the action of the Council on this important matter? Minerva: My plan is this. There are plenty of mountains in Japan. VVhy not take some of this dirt to cover the ships? All: Good! Fine! Splendid! Zeus: Who will volunteer to do this? Aeolus: I will. Zeus: Do you think you can? Xeolus: I think so. I shall endeavor to the best of my ability to execute this undertaking in a most desirable manner. 42 THE BEXLONIAN nnmmnmmllifiilliiiii1ii11uiiilllilHlliiiiiHiii111iiiill1,1ill.1lll,llii11i1H1i111111iH11iH11iHmuiiinummmi1vu4lru,,i1.Mwumuwwm Zeus: Quite good.

What have you to say about the fate of Aeolus? Aphrodite: He is young and beautiful, what he did, he did innocently. His blunder was not intentional, it was due to his youth. I think that he should be held on probation for a short time, and not banished as is our usual custom. Zeus: What is the desire of the council as to this? With or opposed to Aphrodite our beau- tiful Goddess? All: Fine. Good. We'll accept her plan. Zeus: Order, this is well, but how about the in- nocent people who were killed? Will we let them be cast into Hades or perhaps even to Tartarus? All: No! No! Zeus: What, then, is your plan? Demeter: Send those souls to the Elysian Fields, with our triple blessing. All: Fine! We all agree, send Hermes at once, to Orcus. Zeus: Hermes go thou to Orcas and say unto him that which thou hast beard, hasten upon your noble Ford.

The Immortal Gods wish to make it known to the 'people of the earth, that they are not angry with the people of the earth. They shall in no way attempt to destroy them.

Usually one is well supplied with company. But one night the unexpected happened. The kiddies of the family got it into their heads to spend the night with their companions, the neigh- boring children, mother and dad were out of town and my brother away at school when the invitation came to my two older sisters to spend the week-end with friends. At first they refused, declaring I could never hold down the fort alone, but I insisted and finally they left me deserted with the cat and some books. Snug as a bug in the rug I read on, pay- ing no attention to the frequent flashes of lightning nor the far off rumble of thunder of an approaching storm. Even when it burst in all its fury I stirred only to close the windows. As promptly as the clock struck ten the door bell rang lightly, timidly. Startled, I dropped my book, my brain con- fused. VVho, I thought, was that?,' Pulling myself together I boldly walked up to the door and opening it peered out into the darkness. At first I saw nothing and it was only when I heard a voice stammer. P-pa-pardon me, b-bu-but have y-you still g-gug-got the Chi, chi, cago Trib-Tribune ? that I was able to make out the white startled face of a boy of ten or twelve years, half crouched up against the wall. I could hardly believe my ears, did the boy ask for a newspaper or was I dreaming? Huh? I said inelegantly, but that was all I could manage to squeeze out. Oh, he said, his voice breaking, p-please l1aven't you got it, oh, oh please? I opened my eyes in wonder. VVhy the boy was nearly crying, but what had a news- paper to do? My thoughts were interrupted by the pleading voice again. I must have it, I must, he whispered, I have some old books and the paper said the man would buy them before Monday, and oh, don't you see I must, I really must have it. The conversation was surely getting more and more bewildering. VVhat could the boy mean? What books? What man? Why did he want some books before Monday? VVhat did a newspaper have to do with it? I was very incredulous and being alone made me more so. Wild notions of burglars entered my head. I must be cautious. Perhaps this boy and his apparent fright was just a part of a scheme. One look at the boy dispelled all this. His clothes were very shabby. His whole ap- pearance gave one the impression of strug- gling proud poverty. He was plainly frightened, his mouth trembled as he mur- mured his incoherent sentences while he kept twirling his cap in his twitching nervous hands. The boy really wanted some sort of a newspaper and was scared to ask for it or else he was a very good actor. Look here, I said. I can't understand your meaning at all. You said you wanted a newspaper we have, didn't you? Why come at this time after it, and anyway what do you want with it? There is a-a- advertisement in i-it, he gulped, from a man-he wants books-I want his-his address. Ah! Here was more light on the subject. I had this much anyway. He wanted the newspaper to get the address of a man who wanted books. From that I gathered he must have some books to sell. Oh, I see, I said, wishing to help the poor frightened creature out, you want to sell some books? What for? The last question popped out before I could catch it. The expression that came on the boy's face made me want to bite my tongue out. It was just like a collie's face when it's being licked. He drew himself up proudly and looked me squarely in the face. Because, he said, in a voice that made me feel like a dime, because I need the money, he stopped and then went on fal- tering, Mother is hungry a-and I mu-must buy her- here he bit his lip hard and blinked his eyes. There is nothing worse than a licked cur. A dog that slinks away from a hand stretched out to pet it always makes me want to mur- der someone. The same way with a horse with a broken spirit. Still in spite of these opinions I stood killing the proud spirit of a boy, the only thing perhaps that kept him from sinking as low as the other street rats. That would never do. Still I hated to let a strange boy into the house on pretense of hunting a paper. It was all too wild and I was alone. THE BEXLONIAN 45 uummmmnmunmnnm1IIIIIII-II1..IInnn.n.w..mmmumm1ni11V,1111H1+umiw111VImmmmlnnwwi..nnmnmw ummm I tell you what I'll do, I said, the papers are in the basement, but I'1l take all the Tribunes I can find and save them and you come after them tomorrow. Tomorrow will be too late, he said in a voice so despondent I was startled. I might have known you wouldn't have gotten it for me tonight, they told me so at the drug-store, but it was my last chance. I'll have to get food for M-Mother some other way. He turned on his heel and with a bitter laugh started for the steps. The bitterness of that laugh echoed through my head. What was the boy think- ing of? In his discouragement and grief would he-? Oh could the paper mean so much? Grievous crimes are committed through despondency and anguish. Perhaps this very boy would- Stop, I cried, oh, please come back, I'll get it for you, oh please. He stopped, his foot on the top step, his face lighting up. You will? he asked, oh, will you really? I nodded vigorously. I'd have done any- thing to dispell that awful thought from my mind. Yes, I answered, come with me and we will hunt, and so sighing to him to follow me I led the way to the basement. The papers lay in two piles on the top of a work table in the furnace room. Day by day the collection grows and once about every two weeks they are taken away. The piles on this memorial night were quite large so that if the paper the boy wanted was anywhere near recent it was sure to be there. What one did you say you wanted? I asked, walking across the room to the piles. Last Sunday's Tribune, he answered. I want the page with the want ads. I could see from the eager expression in his eyes that he fairly itched to'get to work on one of the piles. You look through that one and I'll take this, I said, pointing to one of the piles and raising my voice in order to be heard above the roaring thunder of the storm which I had forgotten all about until then. He nodded and we fell to work. The si- lence remained unbroken for a while when the boy ventured: I tried to buy it at the corner, he said, they didn't have it-they said you did-I had to have-oh here--oh no, it isn't either. He was tearing through his pile fast and furiously, finishing unsuccessful long before mnnmunmmimrnIII1IIIIIIIIIInnvIInmmumnnmvwwnn111nnunnuunmvmmmww mnmmnnmnmmmmiwunmm. I was half way through mine. He frowned, bit his lip and started all over. At the end of fifteen minutes of anxious searching he had gone through his three times and I, mine, twice but the Sunday Tribune was missing. It's here someplace, he said, because here is the first page, the rest is gone. Isn't there any other place where t could be? He looked at me eagerly, Oh, how I hated to disappoint him, but our search had been thorough. It was not there. No, I said, That's all. I turned and started up the steps, wishing to avoid seeing the boy's face. He followed me a little and then suddenly stopped, There's some more, he whispered excidedly. Lookin Where? I asked. There, he answered, pointing at a row of shelves on the wall, and sure enough there were a few on the bottom one. Who put them there, I don't know, but whoever did, was either very tall or else they had used something to stand on, for neither of us could reach it. VVait a minute, I said, maybe I can find something to stand on. Never mind. I can put my foot on this stone sticking out in the wall and reach it, he answered. I looked at the edg of rock protruding and doubted. Better not try, I said, Walking behind the furnace searching for something to stand on. There I found a box usually used to keep kindling to start the fire in. It still had a few sticks in it, and dumping these out I caught up one end and started for the other side of the furnace. I had just turned the corner and was holding out the box to show to the boy when CRACK! an extra fierce crack of lightning fairly weethed through the house. Zip! Out went the lights and the ter- rific roar of thunder following immediately drowned out all other sound. The rumble rolled away and there was silence. There is no use saying I was calm and collected because I wasn't. I was scared green. There I stood in a perfectly dark room with a strange boy and no weapon of defense. This is how completely I lost my head. If I had only stopped to think I might have known that I was big enough and strong enough to knock him down and beat up on him. But I never thought of that, 46 THE BEXLONIAN Inim11Hiiiiiiiiiiiii1iii11iiiw11i,1iiiwii11111ii111iiiiniiiHIi1,HiHin1ummnim1im11in1mi1ummi1wwmy1W11im1mmmmmmwm instead, those wild ideas of burglars and plots returned to me and I nearly suffocated with fright. My knees gave way and I sat down weakly on the box and stiE with fear, kept perfectly quiet waiting, waiting for what might come. Nothing happened in spite of my dread, and as I sat there my brain began to function again and I saw how perfectly ridiculous these wild ideas were. Rising to my feet I said in as calm a voice as I could manage, WVhere are you? Have you found tl1e stairs ? No answer. The stone walls of the cellar seemed to catch up my words and fling them back at me in a thousand echoes. Have you found the stairs ?U I asked again, louder this time. Still no answer. My fears returned. Where was he? Had he gone upstairs? Surely I would have heard him in the deadly quiet that had followed the thunder. But what had hap- pened to him? VVhy didnit he answer me? He must have gotten away! My first thought was of getting out of that room to a candle or a light of some sort. That awful clash seemed to have been the crisis of the storm for none had followed it and already the steady downpour had slack- ened so that gave me no help. Gathering my forces together, I made a wild dash in what I thought was the direction of the stairs. In calculating my route I had figured without the end of the furnace. My foot was first to become aware of the fact, my nose following in a close second. Fling- ing out my hands to keep from falling, I grasped the drawer of the work-table and the 'force of my weight pulled t open. To steady myself I thrust my hand into it and it closed on a hard round metallic instrument. The thought popped into my head. A gun. A weapon! Now I wasn't defenseless. Tight- ening my hold on the supposed barrel I ran my hand along it to find the trigger. Instead of a trigger, my hand came against a button 'which I pulled back and full in my face glared a light. My gun was a flashlight! At first I was disappointed, thinking how much better a gun would have been, but then I saw the folly in trying to shoot in the dark 'mmmu.wv,.mmmmm...,wmv,m.-mmmfm.11IIHwmmmumlmvmm11I11II.1III11II1111II11111I1I.mmnmmnnmm mm so perhaps the light was better after all. I could at least get out of the cellar with ease. Then I thought of the boy. Was he still in the cellar? I decided to look before running into any trap. Running my light over the room at last I came to the shelf with the papers. They were all mussed and some were half over the edge. My light hit the wall beneath and showed a fresh place where the rock had been chipped. In a flash I saw it all. The boy had tried to reach the papers by standing on the edge of the rock when my back had been turned. It had given away and I had not heard him fall on ac- count of the thunder. I trained my light on the floor immediately beneath the shelf and just as I thought, there lay the boy in an unconscious heap, his fingers tightly closed on a paper, while a spot on his head was rapidly purpling and swelling. I ran into the laundry, Hlled a bucket with water and returning, forced him to drink. This seemed to revive him a little and when I bathed his face with the cold water he sat up, blinked his eyes a few minutes then sprang to his feet wildly waving the paper in his hand. I got it, I got it, he cried. I just got it when the stone gave way. Now I can sell the books. See, here it is, here's the ad- dress. I got it, I got it. Grasping my arm and grabbing my light this raving maniac pulled me up the stairs and to the front door. Opening it, he yanked up his coat collar, stuffed the paper into his pocket and fairly flinging the flashlight at me, he yelled, I got it, I got it,', and dashed out into the night slamming the door. As if they had been waiting for that as a signal, the lights went on. I looked at the clock, ten-thirty! All that had happened in a half hour. I collapsed on the floor and sat blinking first at the light and then at the clock. Had I had a dream, or was it true? I suddenly realized that my nose was rapidly swelling. No, it was not a dream. My nose was twice its usual size and in my hand lay the unmixed blessing undisputable evidence of my wild hunt for the paper. FRANCES HOLTTMAN. ' L - S- A - Q as x'J-fix-r.,5 .J A! gn .. .

When the Class of ,26 came hack to school this year, it contained many new faces, and an absence of many of the old familiar ones was noticeable. But as time went on everybody be- came acquainted with the new members who proved most agreeable. Then the class got to- gether and elected their officers and settled down to the old routine of the school year. The Sophomores surely came to the front this year in all branches of school activities. Step- ping right into the shoes of last year's Sophs, the class more than filled them. In football we had the honor of seeing three men on the field, Wiffenbach, Blackstone, and Kuhns. In basket- ball we contributed several mainstays to the var- sity, besides?-having corking good teams, both girls ay Q boys. Of our girls, Hieronymus and K,.m.k,,,. .grwtfj-i-gulars on the big team, while is Hr. W i Sophomore Our boys have made an excellent record this year in basketball. Out of seven games, we have won five and in all made nineteen points more than our opponents. The game that broke the ice for us this season was a game with the Junior High which we won by a score of 13 to 9. Our second game was with the Columbus Academy on the Academy's floor where we were defeated. In the first tournament game, which was with 'Sophomore Girls' After winning victories over the Freshmen and Eighth Grade, both the Sophomore boys' and girls' team reached the finals. It was a hard fight on the part of both the Sophomores and Seniors, but the Senior girls retained their title from last year as Bexley High Champions by winning the finals. I Norma I-Iieronymus, the captain of the Sopho- .........Norma Hieronymus .......,.....Catherine Wells ........Edward Schneider A..................Norris Davis Holtzman several others were faithful in their practice, and we expect great things of them for the future. At midyear, '26 came into the limelight with a fiourish, of having the lowest percentage of fail- ures, while out of the five in the entire school, who did not have to take the examinations, two are members of the Sophomore Class. Our de- bates in Literary Society became so famous that the Juniors even challenged us, and we fully in- tend to organize a debating team and meet some other school. In this year's operetta, Yanki San, though sup- posed to be a strictly Senior-Junior affair, the male lead, Prince Oto, was played by a Sopho- more, Chester Kuhns. All this goes to show what a'remarkable class the tenth grade is-and if you don't believe US- then ask Mr. Fromm. Boys' Team the Freshmen, we continued our good works by placing the game to our credit. In the Eighth Grade game, also a tournament game, we con- tinued our trip toward the championship by a score of eleven to thirty-two. Then in the finals with the Seniors, we were defeated, but not disgracefully, with a score of 25 to 13. The academy game at home was our final vic- tory in which we redeemed ourselves with the same score, but reversed in our favor. Basketball Team more girls' team, deserves special mention. Her brilliant playing and good leadership was a great asset to the team. The basketball season ended with a spread in May given by the Sophomores for the Seniors. The Sophomore team looks like the future Champions. swaagmmm f , f W W gggmiiaq x J 5 a ' -'Q : K xi X X D ,. ..1. 1 JM, THE BEXLOLNIAN Dorothy Bateson Dorothea Bauerle Irving Brown Gladys Burkey Lucille Cremeans Florence Ebright Elizabeth Emmert Margaret Emswiler Ina Ford Raymond Gary Frances Glenn fSecretaryj Irma Hale Irene Handley Lillian Harris Frank Holl VVinifred Johnson James Kilbourne Herbert Kinney Raymond Klingbeil Freshman Class Roll 20.

Josephine Manly is better known as Jo And if you knew it, she certainly can sew. Helen Manly and Herbert Kinney would quite make a pair, For they are as bashful as anyone would care. Gladys Loudenslager is indeed very frail, If she ever plays basketball, she'll not live to tell the tale. In basketball, Tom Storer is certainly great, WVhatever happens, he is wide awake. Dorothy Bateson has pretty curls, And is very diferent from other girls. Lucile Cremeans writes poetry, Did she ever tell you she has published three? Frank Holl is not the hardware man, But he will be some day, that is-if he can. Ray Klingbeil and Caroline Sanford are of different makes, For Ray likes jazz and Caroline likes cakes. Dorothea Baurle, it has often been said, YVill like Lewis Davis until he is dead. In manual training, Ed Klopfer is a champ, But in dealing with Almeda he acts like a vamp. Irene Handley, our basketball star, Is the best on the team, yes, by far. Elizabeth Roderick is next in line Ask anyone and they'll say she is fine. Dick Pymer is bashful, we must admit, But his politeness has made quite a hit. I Ina Ford is a Cedarhurst lass, If she continues getting brighter, she'll be at the head of the class. lVhen Louise M. and Helen P. get together they make many scenes, For they are as much alike as two beans. Esther and Sarah are believed very bright, They say their books are open all the night. VVinifred J. is our baseball star, YVhen she gets in the box the ball goes far. Mary Krumm is one of our clowns, But like all of us she has her ups and downs. Margaret E. likes Starr P. heaps, And about him she very often weeps. There is something about Tom very rare, It almost makes you stop and stare. Florence Ebright likes John Minic so, That it would be impossible for people not to know. Ruth McDis, tall and lanky, She goes with a boy named Franky. Gladys Veal, formerly of Hilliards, Might be good in playing billiards. Lucille K. and Irama H. will go on the stage, And will be very popular when they are of age. THE BEXLONIAN Jimmie K. rides a bike to school, And always rides the traffic rule. Donald W. is a funny guy, He always wears a purple tie. Paul Moore is usually very bright, But he never has his English right. Gertrude W. is a movie fan, She'll be a star some day, if she can. Elizabeth Emmert is a fine girl scout, She always knows what she's about. Harry P. is also a fine scout, He earns his money on a paper route. Ray Gary and Helen Wittman would go together fine, But she's only one of the many on his line. Mary Moulton is our invalid child, She has never been known to be very wild. In playing the piano Martha L. is right there, You know, she's the girl with the long curly hair. Paul Sterner looks very much like a girl, And on his forehand he wears a spit curl.

The play, which is given in four acts, is set in Bantock Hall, Hutlandshire, England, in Lady Bantock's boudoir. The plot is built around the peculiar po- sition in which Fanny herself when, while filling a dancing engagement in Paris, she meets and marries Vernon James VVetherell. She comes to Bantoek Hall with him to find that the family servants are near relatives of hers, who take it upon themselves to train her for her new position. An intensely interesting scene is created when the chorus girls with whom Fanny used to act, burst unccrimoniously in upon the dignified old estate. l anny's method of getting herself out of her difficulties excites sympathy for her as well as all the others whom it most deeply concerns while the way in which the other characters respond inspires admiration. Ernie, the second footman, adds comedy when it is most needed, and the old Misses VVetherell supply a picturesque quaintness to the already pleasing atmosphere.

It is the policy in Bexley School that each class must give a play or playlett before an audience at least once a year as part of its literary training. This year no plays have been given in public so far, but they have been given in chapel, before the student body. It is encouraging to see the diligence and enthusiasm with which the pupils pre- pare their plays. Among those already given this year are: Sir David Wears a Crown, by the Seventh Gradeg The Little Patriot and Rose Red and Snow White, both by the Eighth Grade, The Fountain of Youth, by the Freshmen, and Neighbors by the Sopl-iomoresT'fH'he Juniors are now practic- ing to present before the public a play en- titled, VVaiting for the Trolley. ....B.., For the first time in the history of Bexley High School a debating team has been or- ganized and has challenged another school to a debate. Although much valuable material is to be found in the other classes, especially the Sophomore, no outside team was found that would accept a challenge from any except the Freshman team. So a team was chosen and put up against a Freshman team from Grandview to debate on the question: Re- solved that United States should enter the League of Nations, constitutionality con- ceded. The debate is scheduled for May 29th, and the team is: Sarah Tomlinson, Ed- ward Klopfer, Lillian Harris and falterna- tivej Lucille Crmeans. iiviiai iivaii THE RFXLONIAN umwwmw111111111111wmmwwuww,mm www11ww1w1wwwwwwmuw 111111xwwwwww,mm,,w.Um-vw,,Hmwv,ww.ww AN!! IS ANK CCY THE BEXLONIAN 59 HYanki San The annual operetta was given at the High School Auditorium on February 7, 19241. The leading roles were well handled, and the chorus was splendidly trained. Miss Margaret Cavey made a very charm- ing Princess Yanki San. Her Seven Sisters, the jealous Roses, have her bewitched that the Ambassadors of the Court of the Mikado might not see and ad- mire her beauty. On the night of the Feast of the Cherry Bloom, her father, Prince Toto, discovered that she was not to be found. It is known that she has been beswitched by the Wolf Witch, at the request of the Seven Roses. As this becomes known, the story of her beauty and strange affliction spreads to far away lands, and the son of the Mikado, Prince Oto the Good, comes to break the spell of the VVolf VVitch. He comes and the enchantment is broken and the aim of the Seven Roses defeated, as the Prince carries Yanki San back to the Court of the Mikado as his bride. .

The first program they prepared was of- fered before chapel, ancl was very well re- ceived. Since then they have sung several times, once at the Father-Son banquet during National Music Week, and for the literary society program. We sincerely trust that they will not be so late in organizing next year, for their ser- vices will undoubtedly be required more than once, now that the school at large has realized plants were also used in the decorating. The colorful costumes of the chorus made a de- lightfully bright setting for the more elabo- rate costumes of the leading figures.

The Gymnasium was artistically decorated in the class colors, jade and black. The evening was opened by two informal dances followed by a clever grand march which ended in the distribution of attractive jade and black dance programs. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing such dances as-robber, moonlight, a leap year dance and elimination, and matching dances, ac- companied by the respective favors and prizes. Delicious punch and fancy cakes were served throughout the evening. The chaperons were Mr. E. R. Beck and faculty. The Wiener Roast A Thursday in October was set apart by the Seniors as an ideal date for a wiener roast at Glen Echo. A social committee, including Alice Reed, Sarah Polster and Delpha Byall was soon busy with preparations for the oncoming events but to the disappointment of all, inclement weather conditions turned the Wiener roast into an indoor party. Did I say disappointment? It hardly could be called that for there was never such a joyous crowd and so much fun assembled together in one night. All tears were dried and laughter occupied the face of each and everyone as they entered the cheery home of Ethel Dunlop. The main feature of the entertainment was the mock wedding. Mr. Smith was the solemn preacher so you can imagine the fun we had. The rest of the evening was spent in playing games, singing and dancing. Refreshments were served near the close of the evening and all departed reluctantly. The chaperons of the evening were Miss Mathiott and Mr. Smith. Halloween Party The home of Delpha Byall, 2284- Bryden Rd., was the scene of much gaity when from all parts of Bexley, jolly seniors gathered to participate in the snappy entertainment so heartily prepared by the social committee. The large rooms were so decorated to give the appearance of a corn field, and it certainly did, for in the center and various parts of the room were corn shocks with bright pumpkins peeping out from below. The rest of the room was decorated with the aid of bright red, orange, and green drapperies and cushions to give the room a Bohemian and wierd effect. The lights were also covered with the same colors, adding to the mysterious atmosphere. The evening was spent in playing games and dancing. Prizes were awarded to Muriel Jones and Harold Lavely for the best costumes. At eleven-thirty refreshments consisting of pumpkin pie, cider, apples, doughnuts, and candy were served and the guests departed. Chaperons were Mrs. E. J. Sowers, Miss Comstock and Mr. Smith. The Hard Time Party A meeting was called by the President, Dan Sheatsley, to arrange for a party different from anything we as yet had had. After much discus- sion and debating it was decided by-the class to have a Hard Time Party. So on the first Friday in April, although the weather was disagreeable, all the Seniors gathered together at the home of Miss Jane Wilcox. Most of the evening was spent in dancing, al- though the games were the making of the party. Prizes were awarded to Delpha Byall and Red Hieronymus for the best costumes. When the hour grew late and light refresh- ments had been served, the guests departed un- willingly. Mr. Fromm and Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox were the chaperons of the evening. ...-B, Before the cafeteria had opened this season, the Senior girls had a spread. Each girl brought something good, so that when we had the food spread on the large table it made a most pleasing sight. It wasn't long, however, until there was hardly anything left on the table except crumbs and paper. I am sure there were a number of poor grades that afternoon, after eating such a large assort- ment of food, but was it not worth it after all? THE BEXVLONIAN 67 11in1Hi..l..m.-mm.-.mirari.111mnummmnmnw ..1iiriil1iwmill...-W----.rimWmww.m ummmlmlu The Christmas Party It has been an old custom of the Bexley High School classes to each have a Christmas Party the day before vacation. But this year a new plan was suggested, that all the classes would combine and have a large Christmas Party in the school gymnasium. So as was scheduled, on the Friday afternoon before Christmas the party took place. A play given by the Ninth Grade opened the entertainment and after the hand clapping had somewhat died down, the ten-cent presents were distributed, each person drawing the present with his number. Soon after all the presents were given out and the laughter had ceased, the classes were dismissed. Some ended the party in their rooms with refreshments. The Courtesy Club La politesse est a l'esprit Ce que la grace est au visageg De la bonte du coeur, elle est la douce image Et c'est la bonte qu'on cherit. -Voltaire. Courtesy, says Voltaire, is to the spirit what beauty is to the face, it is the reflection of the kindness within our hearts, and it is kindness that we cherish. We realize that this side of our education is very important, and to give it a proper place in our school we formed a club to be known as The Courtesy Club. Each class was given an opportunity to vote for the member of their class whom they considered the most courteous. The following were chosen to represent their classes: Seniors, Alice Reed, Juniors, Harry Goeng Freshmen, Richard Pymerg Sophomores, Section A, Hewitt Clapham and Edward Schneiderg Sec- tion B, Norma Hieronymusg Eighth Grade, Jane Roderickg Seventh A, Marian Manlyg Seventh B, Vivian Beck. Let us increase the membership next year by making it necessary for each class to elect more than one representative. The Boy Scouts of Bexley On March 4th a Boy Scout Troop was or- ganized at Bexley High School. The Troop meets Tuesday evenings at 7 o'clock at the High School Gymnasium. They are oiiicially designated in Co- lumbus Scouting circles as Troop 24-. The oiiicials of the Troop are: Robert Geist, Scoutmasterg Carl VVeiffenback, Assistant Scout- master, Kenneth Parsons, Senior Patrol Leaderg Hewitt Clapham, Leader Stag Patrol, Ray Kling- beil, Leader of the of the Flying Eagle Patrolg Harry Parsons, Leader of the Beaver Patrolg' Frank Smith, Scribe. The other members of the Troop are: Hal Mc- Nichols, Howard Barnes, Clyde Beck, Chester Khuns, Edward Schneider, Fred Schmitthamer, Eldridge Hayes, Starr Pitzer, James Kilbourne, Willizim Edminster, Stewart Hirsch, Walter Rus- sell, Lewis Itussell, Jack Ross, David Strickler, Lawrence Lamp, Lawrence Moyer, Lincoln Kil- bourne, Roger McNichols and Ralph Barnett. Bexley Girl Scouts ln order that an opportunity for the develop- ment of the highest standards of community ser- vice, self culture and happiness might be pre- sented, the Bexley Girl .Scouts were organized March 21, 1924- under the leadership of Miss Ruth Geist. Much pleasure has already been enjoyed by the girls, such as basketball games and hiking. The latter consisting of playing games, studying nature and fire building. It is hoped that this organization will grow in order that it will be of service to the community and command the respect of every American citizen.

To awaken interest in traveling and to stimulate the traveler to observe, was the idea. One of our chapel periods was given over to this and the talks were given by two of our teachers. Miss Geist spoke of the beauties of our National Capitol, Washington, D. C., emphasizing the things which had appealed to her the most. Miss Thomas talked of her trip through the West, telling of the wonderful natural scenery in the Rocky Mountains and in the Yellowstone National Park. As a result, we have our Travel Club. Any one who has been out of the State of Ohio is eligible. Also a special Yellowstone Park group was formed as there is quite a number of the students who have been through the park this last summer. We hope to do more with our club next year in meetings with the members, by having them give travelogues about the places they have visited. They will benefit by preparing and giving these talks and the others will enjoy hearing of the various trips. For although we may not all arrive, we at least may tune in with others in their happy memories. For after all, it isn't so much the actual seeing as it is the associations we have created within our own minds.

The coach was Carleton H. Smith, and the Captain, Theodore Qltedj Hieronymus. The complete scores for the 1923 season are as follows: Bexley 13 ...,,.t,.... .....,,,... f irandview 7 Bexley 19 i.....,. .....,,.,,, C irahanna 6 Bexley 26 ........ ,,,..,,,l,, Y Vortliington 0 Bexley 26 ........ .....,,,...

C irandview O LINEUP The Captain of the team, Hieronymus, who nobly filled l1is position as fullback, is a natural leader as well as an outstanding player. He was always feared by his op- ponents. He is rightfully proud of the faet that the team he captained did not lose a single game. This being' his Senior year at Bexley High, we know his leadership will be greatly missed in the future games. All wish him success in his future athletie accomplishments, whatever they may bc. Fred Sauers, who played ccnter, was an accurate player as well as a stone wall on the line. His loss next year will be deeply regretted. Ludwig' Qllidj lveiffenbacll played left end and was very eflicient in stopping' men. He will return next year to defend the Blue and lvhite. Fred Kruckeburg, a real left tackle, was always to be relied upon and was a hard lighter to the end. He was elected captain of the team of 'QL Then comes Pymer who played as a regu- lar this year in spite of the fact that this is his first year at Bexley. His weight and ligllting ability were always felt in the line. He was not an experienced lad, but another year of competition may see him ranked with the best.

He played a sterling game and was always alert to stop long end runs. Dan Sheatsley, a sturdy halfback, was a little slow in starting, but he was a sure passer and was a defensive as well as an offensive player. The team could hardly have gotten along without Dan, and next year will truly miss a valuable man. The other all 'round halfback was Harry Goen, who was claimed to be the smallest halfback in the county. He was a ground gainer and a tackler that was superior to many. Lavely played right tackle and could al- ways be depended on as a sure hard taekler. He proved himself worthy of praise in the Granville game, making several of the clean- est and hardest tackles in the game. The team was made up of three left i.m..m.......i..wW1111i111i11i,,Wm........n..-.mmW ii 11111N1W-m.........n.i.m1M111iiHHum...-.........im.mimi-ii-.lin guards, Gary, Cannati and Yveiffenbach, all giving good account of themselves. Gary started the season and was succeeded by Cannati, who also gave added strength to the line. Then came Carl VVeiffenbach, who finished tl1e season in good form and also played an aggressive game, doing all in his power to make Bexley victorious. The subs also deserve mention. The first, Kenneth Blackstone, only played a few games, yet he showed his willingness to do his part and would have done some spectacu- lar playing if given a chance. Chester Kuhns, who didnit get to play often, was a good sport and always ready to tackle any position. We must not forget that our Coach, Smith, was one of the biggest assets to our success, hence we all join in giving him our sincerest thanks for l1is untireing efforts in the coach- ing of our athletics through a strenuous school year--1923 and 192-1-. ' V The Annual Football Banquet The Annual Football Banquet of Bexley High School was held at the school house on December 10, 1924. The guests included the football squad and guests, the faculty and some of the members of the school board. The part of toastmaster was successfully played by Mr. Beck. Those who responded to his call were Mr. Henny, Mr. Tracy, Mr. Smith, Mr. Fromm, Miss McCormick, Mrs. Brightman, Theodore Hieronymus, Allen Kerr and Fred Kruckeburg. At 8:45 tl1e guests departed, some going to Keith's. To the Coach Coach Rah! Coach Rah! Rah! Rah! Coach! This well known yell was often heard in the pep meetings led by Allen Kerr, and we all know how deserving of it Schmitty really was. It was he who kept the boys together. He who was always there wishing and urging them to victory. No matter how strong the opposing team, and no matter how doubtful things look, he brought hope and courage to the team and generally these two things carried them through victorious. He also has done much to build up the girls, team. When this season opened he had only unexperienced girls to choose from. But with much patience and hard work he made for the school a girls' team to be proud of. VVe hope that next year the teams will be fortunate enough to have Schmitty for a Coach, and if they do we are sure they will be well trained. 72 THE BEXLONIAN i1i11iiii1fi11inwummmiimm-wiHiiiii11iiiiiifi1iifiiiiiiiiii11iiiiii1ii11i11ii11111i1i11111iiiiiiiiiiii1111111i11i11ii11i11i11i1immmnmn.mn 1iiiiiii1iiiiiiiiii11iiiiiiiriiii111iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii1iiiiiiiiviiiii1ii1i111i11iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii11i1111imimmwwwinl BOYS' BASKE'1'BAI,L TEAM Left to right: Concu CARLTON H.

The first game being played on our own Hoor with Bexley victorious. The sec- ond game played was on Berlin's fioor, with our opponents victors, both scores being given above. Near the latter part of the season, the team being scheduled for an out of town game, jour- neyed to Steubenville, Ohio, with the expectation of winning. The Bexley boys put up a good fight the first half, but were unable to hold out the remainder of the game on account of being tired from a strenuous 'game the night before and a long ride that day. The return trip was made the following day. A season is not to be judged, however, by vic- tories alone, the quality of basketball played was such as to maintain an intense interest even to the end. Few games were really decided until the final whistle blew. The total score, opponents 223, Bexley 264, a diiference of only 41 points for 14 games, is a good index of the hard fought contests that were staged. Captain Heironymus played a splendid game and made an ideal this year's regular 'Sauers at forward, Well as Lavely, who a substitute. leader.

This concludes our basketball for the year of ,2-1. Tlllf BEXLUNIAN 75 i GIRLS' B.XSlil'Z'l'l5.XI.l, 'l'l'Z.XM Iwfl fo riqlfl: Ili-zinc. Joxrzs. llisuoxvxirs. Josics, l',wi:x'. lliciui, C.xvi:Y.

Girls, Basket Ball 'l'he girls' haskethall season. like thc lioys', opened with victory, aml although not wins ning all games played during the season, nevertheless the lighting spirit and good sportsmanship was predominate throughout. 'l'he first game of the season was played on the Bexley floor. The opposing team was Ililliards. and to the delight of all. we were victorious. 'l'his opening victory gave more determination to the team which they showed in the succeeding games. One of the important features of the sea- son was the trip to Coshoeton. Our girls left Friday, Decernher 15, at noon, and ar- rived thcrc late that afternoon. The game was scheduled for Friday night to he played at the dedication of the new gymnasium. XVe were greatly disappointed when the news came that they had been heaten. But we felt hetter when we heard that the proba- hle reason for defeat was the rules under which they had never hcfore played to any great extent. 'l'hcy stayed all night at the Coshocton Hotel and returned Saturday, still in high spirits. Perhaps the most interesting game of the season for those who saw it was the Bexley vs. Berlin game at Berlin. In this game the girls played lioys' rules, under whieh they were not used to playing. The game throughout was fast and ex- citing. Our girls made a match for those rustic girls which they had not expected. and they were all the more surprised when thc Hcxlcyitcs handed them defeat. The seorc from heginning to end was close and excitement prevailed. 74 THE BEXLONIAN nmun-:mummmmwm mmuwumrm mmwmww ww wwwimmiiiiiwiwiwwwwwwwwwwwwwiiiiiiwwwwwmwwumwmm, Another important event-The Basketball Tournament. Our girls were entered and drew as their opposing team, Westerville. Our boys had suffered defeat the night before and our girls entered the contest rather reluctantly, perhaps too much so, for they again suffered defeat and withdrew from the contest. Teams who contested with our girls at home throughout the season were, Winches- ter, Groveport, Grandview, Hilliards. The girls deserving recognition to the greatest extent were Biny and Norma. Biny 11iiiwitmnrumummw mrwunmmrwmmzmu nuI1nvrnrvI1IIIIIIII111IIIiIIIiIIIInn-mmmmmlmuwwwwwwum in was captain of this year's team, playing right forward, and Norma played at times, for- ward, and at other times, guard.

Senior Girls' Basket Ball '24 Much praise is due the Senior Girls' Bas- ketball Team, having won the interclass championship for two years, '23 and ,244. VVhen the games were arranged, our girls were scheduled to play the Juniors. Winning over them, we next came against the Sopho- mores, winners of the 10th and 9th Grade game. ' At first we were doubtful of victory for the Sophomores had made a good name for themselves earlier in the season. They had also been runners up for year '23, , The game was hard played for both teams and much enthusiasm was shown by the Senior-Junior On February 26 the Juniors and Seniors played a game of basketball, fast, through to the finish, with a tied score, 14-141, until the Seniors added one point to tl1eir score by a foul shot. As the whistle blew for time, the Juniors made a basket which was too late to be counted. The lineup gave the Seniors three first rooters. And as we had all hoped, especially the Seniors, our girls were victorious. Our Captain, Biny, should also be awarded much praise for her hard work and ever encouraging spirit.

S heatsley Senior-Junior Girls, Basketball On the 29th day of February the Junior Girls played the Seniors a speedy game of basketball. Although the Seniors have four of their players on the Hrst team, the Juniors held them '7-6 at the half. The Juniors were a little weak in the of- fense and lost to the Seniors in the last half with a score of 15 to 8. Josephine, being tl1e star of the team, held the Seniors from scoring with excellent guarding, and Ethelyn Metzger scored for the Juniors. ,The lineups: SENIORS Lucille Herr .....................................,... ......i......

Not having had much practice, we were un- able to make any points. But Bexley now boasts of a new one-fifth mile track where her athletes can get plenty of practice. It was laid out by O. C. Fry. Un Friday, May 9, YVesterville boys helped to dedicate it with a track meet and walked otl' with the honors in a score of 68 to 39. Although the score looked one sided, Bexley held la-r own well, considering that we were a Class Ii school competing with a Class A, WI-sterville having gotten second place in Class A in the Central Ohio track meet at Delaware. In this meet Bexley took third in Class B, llieronymus getting third in the shotput, discus and 100-yard dash, and see- ond for the 220Ayard dash. Roberts took third in the 220-yard, while Kruckeburg brought in second in the half mile, his time being 2:16. Bexley put 21 points up against Bellpoint's 65. Since there were 12 schools participating, Bexley has rather a high standing, after all. Bexley also expects to win honors in a meet with Trade High School on Bexley's track, on Friday, May 23, as well as in :1 State meet which will be held later. Those who participated in each event are as follows: Ilieronymus -H Javelin, shot-put, discus, high ump, 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash and mile relay. Roberts-100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, -L-L0vyard dash, high jump, mile relay.- Sheatsley-Mile run, discus, shot-put. Kruckeburg-flIalf-mile, mile relay. l,avely--Iialf-mile, mile relay, 330-yard dash. Plmlor-fPole vault. Elder--Pole vault, running broad jump. 76 THE BEXLONIAN iwwmmwmi III1Ivvrsurrn1nrrI1Vrrmwvwwuwmmuuumwwm . f nIIIvIvv1Iumwmmuuwmummmmunu Q sms sm -E x x xi S FX YNYX XXXxxxx'Sg lo Q 1 'l iv Alumni Notes Josephine Atkinson, a student at Ohio State University, a pledge of Kappa Phi sorority.
