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
