When Junior Bay we entered the storms became more fierce, The fogs of Modern History our strong lights could not pierce. We learned that H20 was water, and H2SO,, It ruined all our clothes, that's what Chemistry was for. Each eye was trained, skilled was each hand when Senior Bay we entered, NVe had learned to master the strongest gales that round our craft had centered, But Physic's storm and Burke's typhoon nearly swallowed up our launch, But pass we must these dangers, with hearts still firm and staunch. And often in this Senior Bay the Hag of victory Hewg VVe gave our best in sports and books to light for the lVhite and Blue. The class of '26 is proud ofthe Torch and Student Court, ive are proud of our winning teams and the honors they won in sport.

Come battles now of every sort to Bexley we'll be true, And when this good ship touches port we'll be an eager crew.

Of all his many paintings we find this one Outstanding, leading us thru many darkened days. At first 'twas nothing more than bare white canvas On an easel in surroundings all unknown. But the artist ever careful and observing All our unforgetful High School days has shown. The arti:zt's mind a dream of youth unfolded And in weariness and sadness oft he wrought, lVith ever his fair ideal of youth before him, Experience, his brush, with harsh stroke, perfection sought. Four years the artist worked to make it perfect, lVorking with red, yellow, blue and green, lVith dark and light thruout the picture mingled Until a representing figure now is seen. Completed after work and toil and trouble, He paused and pondered with a thoughtful sigh. Then with firm stroke his brush the letters fashioned, The class of '26 of Bexley Hi.'!l1. And now a beacon to our future is this picture, The artist's dream of glorious youth come true. Oh class of '26 do not betray The lovely, fair ideal life saw for you. -XVINIFRED JOHNSON.

Class Prophecy 'I i gang H QISQ i I I I I I L A L L.....-e -g - - gt- -C It had been a busy, bustling day and as I sat down that evening to study I realized that it was going to be an awful effort to get through yesterday's, today's, and tomor- row's Virgil, ninety lines in all Qample pun- ishment for my negligencel. I opened my book, grit my teeth and started out. It was a passage where the hero of the book con- sulted an oracle or prophet on an island to see what the future held for him and if at last he should find a country where he might put an end to l1is wanderings. It was inter- esting and all went well for a while. I could fairly see the cold hollow cave of the seer with his flowing beard. I could almost hear his incantations. I had a vivid picture of him gently casting leaves upon the floor fan ancient method of telling the futurej where a slight breeze entering the door might play upon them and disarrange them slightly from their original position. Then the ancient patriarch looked upon them with his wise eye and to him each little disarrangement spoke volumes. But interesting as it was, much to my own disgust the print began to swim before my eyes. I got up and tried another chair, I even walked around the house but my efforts were in vain. My head nodded, I felt it sinking lower and lower- and the gentle breeze played over them softly, I translated 'Ano human hand touched them, the leaves tluttered, settled, and all was quiet. And then spoke the seer, bending over each leaf -My head hit the table, I remember that, then all was peace for a moment until there came to my tired mind a queer frenzied nightmare, due perhaps to fatigue, perhaps to the beefsteak and lemon pie that had tasted so good at dinner. Maybe a physcolo- gist could explain why there appeared be- fore my mindis eye a picture Qhow I wish I could paint itj similar to the pictures you sec of the interior of the Roman Forum where the ancient orators sat in rows upon rows. their togas swathed about them and 1 -L- e..e- -,,--- c- -..I pondered weighty questions. This was not the Forum but seemed more like a rocky cave with crude seats encircling a flat place in the extreme center. In each seat sat a bundled figure, each eye was turned to the old man in the center scattering leaves upon the floor. I looked casually upon the audience CI was in the first rowj and then I looked again more closely and then I positively stared in astonishment. Above the white toga on my right rose the sweet face of Alice Neal topped by a perfect marcel as usual! Next to her was Eldridge Hayes, his big brown eyes all attention on the man with the leaves, then came Elise, then Bee, then Bob, then Betty, then Brick! Oh heavenly days! It was only a dream but on my deatllbed I shall remember the sight of the Class of '26 all solemnly arranged in a big circle, eacll member in a Hopping, bundling toga, every eye on the elderly gentleman on the flat smooth floor of the big dark cave, who canted strange cants and cast leaves gently about as a calm breeze entered through an open- ing on the side. All was deadly quiet except for the rustling of the leaves on the breeze, that ceased, all was still, every mouth opened slightly, every breath was held, the seer bent over and then- Oh Class of '26, take heed, I must warn, I must warn, for each of you there is danger ahead. For each there is happiness, each is about to enter on his great adventure, some shall wander long, some shall reach their ends soon, so very very soon, but I shall see, I shall see-U All this in a sing song tone, stroking his beard and shaking his head! The shivers creep even now when I think about it for dream as it was, it is still so clear and realistic in my mind that to me it is not half so ridiculous as it may sound. But to pro- ceed, the seer bending over the quiet leaves, slowly lifted one from the group and ap- proaching Hal he spoke. Nothing but wires, wires, wires, and Page Twenty-fiz'af .y.u.15 .. .. THE TO RCH .. little black knobs and dials. I see you sit- ting at a desk. People are taking orders from you. All about you are models of radio and wireless sets. See, as I drop your leaf it gives out sparks as it hits the ground, see how it jumps and quivers! It is trying to speak of the great things you will do some da . If-Ial looked dazed and drew his queer toga about him closer. The seer passed on with another leaf in his hand. Every one feared lest he should stop before him. The seer walked on and halted before Betty! Ah, he smiles! Palm trees, a tall dark man, the sea, a beautiful southern home, children, servants all about you, black ones. But only remem- ber this. See the happiness which is yours. You have twice as much as most. See how large your leaf is. The riches of life and of plenty! Huh, I was thinking, the man is not so dumb when he picked up another leaf and started straight for me! I sank into my remarkably comfortable garment which re- sembled a sheet and longed for seven league boots. Ah this time he laughs! A dusty road, a hot day, the land called Argentina, a swartly, lazy family, a woman, you, a piano stool. Ah you have the gift of salesmanship! Many, many a piano stool shall find its way into the families of Ar- gentina through you. See your leaf is cov- ered with dust that means many a weary journey. But persevere, you shall succeed, you shall succeed. Oh why, I inwardly groaned, did I ever mention the desire I once had to sell piano stools in Argentina! The fates had taken me seriously! But I was soon for- gotten for the seer was next approaching Winifred with slow and stately tread. Papers, papers. Ah you are clever! See the leaf is covered with little sayings, verses, jokes, all in your handwriting. I hear your songs being sung, I see your poems read. Thank the fates for your talent. It lies not in every one. Not so brilliant it seemed to me for any- one that ever knew Winnie could have told him that. This time he stopped next to me. I turned my head. It was Ruth NVilkins. I see children all about you, all looking toward you and to you for knowledge. They love and respect you and you hold sway Page Twenty-sim over them by your personality and kindness. They have no fear of you but are ready to do your every bidding. There are thousands and thousands of children about you. Some day you shall be at the head of an immense school. How well that suits Ruth, I thought. I can just see her teaching, and how her pupils will love and admire her! The droning tone of the seer interrupted my thoughts. Eldridge was the unhappy victim this time. Streets, streets, busy streets. A man walking, walking, retracing his steps many many times. See, your leaf is covered with tiny footprints to and fro. You are selling something, you are explaining. You are the advertising manager of a big newspaper. Many, many disappointments are in store for you but perseverence will pull you through in the end. Some day you will be famous. Poor El! If that is true how many, many pairs of shoes he is doomed to wear out. The seer stops for no one it seems. In a twinkling of the eye he has picked up three leaves and stands before Gertrude, Eleanor Vagnier and Gladys Baughman, all huddled in a group. I hear the click, click, click of type- writers. Your leaves are grown together. You shall all pursue the same course and some day shall all work in the same oiiice, expert secretaries. You are all happy and are among the fortunate women who support themselves. You shall be dependent upon no one. Fortunate indeed! I wondered if I with my piano stools would ever be as much so! The seer picked up two leaves bound to- gether by a slim thread. With these in his hands he walked up to Eleanor Hayes and Helen Manly who happened to be sitting next to each other. For both I see paint and brushes but each shall use them differently. All about you are immense canvases on a stage. They are covered with beautiful scenes, all the fruit of your work. You shall be much in demand and your stage settings will be fa- mous over the world. Many many curtains will rise to display your talent which will be greeted with bursts of applause. You, turning to Helen, are sitting at a table. 5.n.u. - THE TO R c H--A .. U About you are pictures, posters, sketches. You are busy putting the finishing touches on a beautiful girl, a magazine cover. You are happy in your work. See your leaf is covered with beautiful gay, laughing colors. This prophecy gave me happiness, too, for who would not rejoice in the good fortune of the sweet willing Eleanor and the gentle Helen. The crowd bent over eagerly. The seer was in front of Beatrice. This would be in- teresting. Filth, filth, shaky stairs, sad people, tired eyes, crowded tenements , he fairly moaned and then his face light up. A little' woman, a ray of sunshine. People crowding about. A sweet smile but a business-like manner. You shall accomplish much as God's messen- ger of mercy to Jew and Gentile alike. The tenements of many, many a dark city will learn to bless your name. How like Bee! How wonderful that her dream should be fulfilled and beyond her wildest expectations. And now what did the future hold for Elise? A stage, lights, listening crowds. Upon the stage a dark graceful woman going splendidly through the lines of a diflicult role. I see much happiness for you, fame and praise but all through hard, hard work. Things will not come to you easily, you must climb every step of the ladder of success and each step will cause you pain and ef- fort.', Oh well , I thought Nooky can work and will give everything she has. I can hardly wait to see her on the stage. But the sage was sadly shaking his head over Chester's leaf. You are lonely. I see you alone with one man servant, surrounded by luxury but without the companionship of anyone. You live by yourself in your bachelor quarters, satisfied with yourself and your lot. You do not know what you are missing for you have never loved nor ever will. But you are not the only one. Across the hall from you are two just like you except that in their solitude they live together and pursue their businesses together. They are Charles and Fred,', turning to them. I see instruments all about you. Long, odd shaped rods and thick glasses. You seem to be counting the stars of the heavens. One talks while the other writes. Many many books surround you while you work, each bearing your names. I cannot see whether you will be famous or not, but in your bachelor quarters you shall make many observations and shall quarrel much. How typical of Charlie and Freddie! They never did have much use for girls, but Chet! Imagine Chet a bachelor living alone! Strange things do happen. The seer seemed puzzled. He stopped be- fore Norma and peered long and intently at the leaf in his hand. Balls, big brown ones, small white ones, soft ones, hard ones, bats, baskets, nets, rackets. I see you at the head of big classes, you are counting, one, two, three. They bend, they sway, they jump. I see you again running about hitting the ball across the nets. There are great crowds about you cheering. Your ability in physical prowess shall get you far.', Norm always was a star athlete. Mention any game and she could play it. It seems she always will be so. The old man stooped over the remaining leaves. He picked them up. All seemed to be bound together in a sort of garland. He smiled and held them up. VVho owns these leaves shall all come to the same fate, marriage. After all, it is the best fate in store for anyone. Stand, my children, let us see who of the Class of ,26 shall enter holy wedlockf' Oh, the crowd that stood! Clyde, Cathryn, Alice, Marguerite, Esther, Jimmie, Caroline, Bob, Bill, Eppie, and many others all got up easily and stood smiling. I struggled to rise but something held me back. I kicked and squirmed but try as I would I couldn't budge. VVhat? An Piano stools in How cruel the again and tore frenzy. The next thing I knew I was shak- ing my head wildly over my Virgil book and tearing out page after page. Oh what a nightmare! Far worse than pink ele- phants or green snakes.

S tudent Officer Page Thirty one M THE TORCH :- Junior Class History It was once said, The value of history lies in its usage in the present hour with its duty. Let us see if this holds true in the history of the present Junior Class. As a class of fifty-three we entered Bex- ley High, wide-eyed and curious creatures. VVith Carolyn Sanford as president we en- joyed a pleasant year, the greatest feature of which being a Hal1owe'en party at the home of Esther and Sarah Tomlinson in October, 1923. Miss Thomas and Mr. Geist, our registration teachers, chaperoned the party. Edward Klopfer, Lillian Harris and Sarah Tomlinson constituted the Freshman Debat- ing Team in a contest with the Grandview trio. The topic was, Resolved That the United States Should Enter the Present League of Nations. VVe had the affirmative side, but unfortunately, lost. Our class ofiicers were: Carolyn Sanford, president, Martha Ludwig, vice'-president, Frances Glenn, secretaryg Edward Klopfer, treasurerg Elizabeth Roderich, student offi- cer and Sunzanne Roper, editor. June came only too soon and when school reopened the following year it found us a less curious, more dignified group, real Sophomores. Frances Glenn was elected president of our class of forty-eight, Lillian Harris, vice-president, Almeda McKahn, Page Thirfy-two secretary and treasurer, Elizabeth Roderick, student officer, and Gladys Loudenslager, editor. Late in May, 1924 our class enjoyed a delightful picnic at Spring Lakes with Mr. and Mrs. Smith as chaperones. In the class play, The Fountain of Youth , the Sopho- mores proved their dramatic ability. Not until we were labeled Juniors did we really feel a responsibility. With our en- rollment of thirty-six we realized we must make use of our possibilities. Four Juniors are representative on the Torch Staff, four in the Hi Y organization, four in the Boy Scouts and twelve in the Girl Reserves. Everywhere you go you see a Junior. Martin Heil was elected president of our classg Bxilly Barrett, vice-presidentg Tom Davis as student oflicer, and Elizabeth Rod- erick as secretary and treasurer. Our flower, the violet, and class colors, blue and gold, were retained from last selection. VVith deepest anxiety each Junior awaited the Senior-Junior Prom which is past but not forgotten. Perhaps our class history does not give much value to the present hour and its duty, but it has been an inspiration to us and a stepping stone to the highest ideal in a High School life-the Senior year. -LUcrLLr-: CREMI-:ANs, '27.

This year passed quickly as did the next, when we registered under Miss Comstock, with our class taking part in interscholastic meets and a fefw social activities of our own. The next year, our Freshman year, we found that our class enrollment was 4-2. We registered in the study hall, being the largest class in the building, under the supervision of Mr. Geist and Miss Thomas. This year we had a number of boys on the high school football team and several on the basketball team. Outside of this we won for ourselves two interscholastic pennants, one for boys' and girls' track and one for boys' baseball which we had also won the year before. We managed to stick to the finals in boys' basketball, but were beaten two games out of three by the Seniors. After a short summer vacation we re- turned to school to find that our class had been divided, due to its size, and we were now registering under two new teachers, Miss Kellogg and Miss Warner. This year the boys decided to go in for sports and about eight of them went out for football, the ma- jority of whom received letters. After the football season they turned to basketball and found that five men played on the first team and received letters. . This year the Sophomore boys' basketball team won the pennant by winning every game except two, losing to the Eighth Grade on account of ineligibilities and the health of our best players. We lost the final game to the Faculty. The girls were not so for- tunate. ' ' During the Sophomore and Freshman years the class has been very active in ath- letics and other school activities, but when it comes to social activities they do not rate so high, there having been no parties held by them. We may add that when the class of '28 graduates we will be the first class to go through the whole six grades at the high school. -STEWART Hmsci-1. Sophomore Class Poem Forward, Class of '28, Show the world how high we rate, Fling our colors to the sky And as the years go marching by, Do the best we can, classmates! Show 'em we have some sky high aims, Show 'em we can play the game, We have it in us, I know it- All we have to do is show it- Forward, Maroon and Gold , to fame. Work hard, play hard and be good sports Although we meet with hardships of all sorts, Smile and start to plug away , Till we grow better every day- And our ships will come sailing into port. Bexley, we'll be true to you, You'll be proud of the things we do- So onward, trusty Sophomores, Let our ambitions upward soar, Forward! Carry on for the White and Blue . Page Thirty-six --EMMA HART.

Most of these were students who had graduated from VVhite- hall School, Cedarhurst, in June, 1925. How- ever, we also lost several of our old mem- bers in September. Elizabeth Sheatsley en- tered Capital University Academy, .lack Ross entered Staunton Military Academy, and Donald Munk entered Bliss Business College. Jack Ross, however, returned to us in the second semester. During the year, we were glad to welcome the following peo- ple into the Freshman ranks: Henry Sie- bert, Mary Wheeler, Laura Lawrence, Alice Johnson, Mildred Champ, Karla and Joseph Gerstner, and Ivan Welsch. In the Inter-Class Basketball Tournament the Freshmen Girls under the captainship of Marcella Bailey, made a wonderful showing. They fought their way through the semi- finals and into the finals, but met defeat at the hands of the mighty Seniors. The boys, with David Davis as their captain, their four games and lowering their percent- age to .500, they lost their chance of enter- ing the finals. However, the team went down fighting and gave all that it had. What more can we ask? Only one social activity was held during the year. This was a picnic held on the school grounds in the latter part of May. After the picnic-supper, games were par- ticipated in, and an enjoyable time was had by all present. The Freshman Class Motto is Carry On . And that is exactly what we intend to do. The work of building a good reputation for Bexley High School was destined to be done by others. It is therefore our duty to carry on and live up to this reputation. We must carry on the work of those who have gone before. We must maintain the standard which they have set, and we sincerely hope that when the Senior Class of 1929 has passed out of the doors of Bexley High, that it can be said of them that they have lived up to their motto--they have car- were not so fortunate.

The Freshman Poem Written at the Class Reunion--Fifty Years After Oh, classmates, now with you I sing a song, A simple song to happy hours long past Which now that we have gone so far along In life, seem like the most essential cast Which in those formulative years did ply And hold and shape our nature's plastic clay To form our characters. But yet we sigh And would call back again that precious day. However much I long my bright youth back To skip and dance and frolic in the sun -Then lessons are most gladly learned . . . Alack My hair is grey and life is nearly done. And so, dear friends, take things just as they fall, For each ensuing age is best of all. -RUTH SMITH.

After becoming a first-class scout, a boy works for merits. W'hen he has earned a certain specified number, he then advances to the rank of eagle scout, the highest honor possible to attain. Prmyn l urty-eight The scoutmaster is Mr. Geistg assistant scoutmaster, Harry Parsons, while Lawrence Lamp is the scribe. These are the officers of the troop, which consists of 32 boys. The troop is divided into four patrols with a leader for each. The leaders are: Burton Elder, Frank Smith, Martin Heil and James Kilbourne. .. THE TORCH i'Fi Fi of the Toy Shopi' The annual school operetta was given at the High School Auditorium on December 17 and 18. It was played to a full house and it was the genuine opinion of all that the performance was the best musical fantasy ever given in the school. The performance was especially note- worthy for the tuneful music, the charming dancers, the clever acting of those who por- trayed the principal roles, and the brilliant electrical effects, together with the many gorgeous costumes. The story is a dream of a little girl, Bon- nie, who goes to sleep in the woods. She is a toy-maker's daughter and dreams that all the toys come to life. Fi Fi, the French doll, a great fiirt, causes a great deal of dis- turbance. She first fiirts with Prince Lolly Pop, then elopes with the Man-in-the-Moon, and finally marries Tin Heart, who has been faithful to her to the end. The scene where Fi Fi and the Man-in-the-Moon were sailing through the sky in a large moon was very beautiful. The story ends by the toy maker's daughter waking up to find it but a dream. The entire operetta was rehearsed and staged by Mr. Paul Pine of the Rogers Producing Co. To him we owe thanks as it was through his hard work and that of the cast that our play was so successfully pro- duced.

Christmas Play A delightful, short play was successfully given by the Seniors, kindly assisted by a few Juniors, in chapel at Christmas time. The play was most comical and was en- joyed greatly by the cast as well as the student body. It was merely a Christmas party in old England, at which the young men gave a play for the guests. Edward Schneider made a delightfully tall and stately father, and YVilliam Teegarden an imposing giant, with James Kilbourne as his little man. Charles Mohr, Jack Ross and Hewitt Clapham made most stately kings and most interesting was the latter's helmet improvised from a kettle. Everyone was ' delighted with the graceful, entertaining jes- ter, portrayed by WVinifred Johnson, and also with the venerable Father Christmas, Edward Klopfer. Kenneth Roberts, as the doctor, performed miracles far beyond com- prehension. We must not overlook Eldridge Hayes as a fierce dragon and Caroline San- ford as the beautiful queen. The guests were also entertained by a Morris dance given by Gladys Baughman, Eleanore Hayes, Catherine Ealy, Eleanor Vagnier, Catherine Vvells, Esther Pilcher, Mazie Hodapp, Frances Holtzman and Ger- trude Dill. ' Page Forty-nine Q.: -I7 CYS U if CG Senior P1 THE TORCH The Senior Class Play The Senior Class of 1926 will present as their class play, Daddy Long Legs , under the direction of Miss Ruth Geist. The play is produced in four acts. The first, in the dining room of the John Grier home on Trustees' Day. The second, Judy's college study, an afternoon in May, one year later. The third, the sitting-room at Loch lVillow farm, summer, three years later. The fourth, Mr. Pendleton's library, two months later. The story is of a very wealthy man who is one of the trustees of an orphan asylum. He becomes interested in one of the orpllans, Judy, who has been kept in the orphanage longer than is customary because she has been very useful. He decides to send her to college without her knowing who he is. She sees his shadow, which has long-legs, thus she called him Daddy Long-Legs. His only condition was that she write to him regularly about her progress in college. She developes considerable talent in writing and her letters are a great pleasure to him. He visits her at college and falls in love with her, altho she doesn't know it is Daddy Long-Legs. Her room-mate's brother also visits them and falls in love with Judy, which causes many comical complications. In the end all turns out well.

Lin- coln is counting on you. ' Show what you're made of, Dave. Run, old boy. lVinton's for youf' Thus came cheers from the rooters of the two high schools. Every student was an energetic and enthusiastic booster. There could be felt in the atmosphere, good, friendly competition with the best of sports- manship in every red-blooded youth. Lincoln and Winton High Schools were both situated in excellent districts, thus the boys and girls who attended them came from the best of homes. Contests of various kinds were held be- tween the two schools throughout the year. After bootball started there was continually something interestingg basketball, one or two debates, an exchange of chapel programs and anything else in which competition was pos- sible. The final and closing event was the Field Day Meet held some time during May of each year. The rivalry was intense, each school striv- ing for an overwhelming victory. However, the contestants had always been so nearly equal that, although winning by only a few points, the victors always indulged in hilari- ous celebration after the event. The attend- ing pupils always helped to instill in the new comers that friendly rivalry, which can be felt with greater intensity and creates a more lasting love for the school. Very sel- dom was any Urazzingi' heard, for the student body would not permit that. So it is that we find ourselves amid a crowd of fun-loving, jolly, excited young sportsmen. It is they who get the most out of their school days and are the kind of young men and women the world is eager to have. They are the ones who make a head- way in business and always carry things out to a completed end. The broad and high jumps had been held, the discus and javelin throwing, including the shot-put, had all been exciting events of the day. John Marlowe of Lincoln High, had been the outstanding man in the shot- put, his distance being 38 feet. This was three feet farther than any other boy. Not only did Marlowe receive cheers from his own rooters, but a cheer was given him by the opposing side. Another contest which caused much excite- ment was the pole vault. Jack YVeaver and Harry Coleman came out even. The former was a Wlinton student, and the latter was from Lincoln. After reaching the ten-two mark, these two boys were the only com- petitors. Gradually the bar was raised and at ten feet four inches everyone of the lvin- ton rootcrs held l1is breath, for on his first two tries Jack knocked the pole off its pegs. As he took his position for his third and last chance, a tensity could be felt in the air, and all eyes turning upon Wleaver belleld a stern, determined faced boy. Three cheers, he made it. Once, twice more the bar had been moved upward for both contestants. But each failed on the second move and so the honors and points were divided. Next an archery contest took place, with 25 chances at the bull's eye for each person entered in the event. Girls being eligible, Lincoln boasted two girl archers, while VVin- ton had one. The three highest scores were 21, 23 and 24- bull's eyes out of a possible 25. Annabelle Jenkins from Lincoln, was the highest scorer. At last it was time for the final event, the half mile race. A11 were excited to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, since the score stood 54 to 53 with Lincoln in the lead. There was cheering and yelling until time for the start. Then a death-like stillness prevailed until after the pistol had been Hred. This seemed to rouse the people to their senses and again there was a great deal of cheering. Since it was a quarter mile track, the run- ners had to go around it twice. They were quite even until the second lap, when Jim seemed to spurt ahead and it looked as if he would hold the pace to the finish. But he weakened just about the same time that Dave appeared to shoot forward and no one seemed to know how it happened, except that Jimmie went headlong to the ground. Instead of making a quick dash over the line, he turned back and helped Jim to his feet. It was Dave who crossed the line first, but he deserved it. There was much praise given the winner, not only that he caused Wintonis score to surpass the opponent's, but also for his sportsmanship. People of that type are always admired. -Emsm ZIMMER.

Page Sixty-two TIZIE T-ORCH ' 1925 -- Football -- 1926 Bexley enjoyed a very successful football season owing to the fact that we won six games and lost only three. It is true we won one through a forfeit and another was very close, but nevertheless they were wins. The successful season was due to the hearty cooperation on the part of the players for team work and team morale. No doubt the uniforms being in good condition had a great deal to do toward helping the team. No player can play good football in tattered, old shaggy uniform. ' The season started off with a forfeiture from the heavy Liberty Union team. The next week followed with a defeat. A drizzling rain gave the weighty and ex- perienced VVorthington team an advantage but it kept them stepping to win 7 to 0 from our light weights. Everyone was expecting a good game and another wet day gave' Gahanna an advan- tage, but our blue and white boys soon op- ened up and downed their larger opponents with a 12 to 0 score. The game with Groveport was a walk-a- way for the Bexley boys who won 21 to 6 from the Groveport squad. The next game was with Grandview. The heavier West Side boys had another muddy day to their advantage and they defeated us. In this game their Fullback sustained a broken collarbone which put him out for the rest of the season. Then followed another decisive victory for the blue and white team. VVe took St. Charles in for a 4-1 to 0 count. Columbus Academy defeated our boys 13 to 2 in a hard fought game. VVe got very close to their goal but the whistle blew. Once again the Bexley squad triumphed over St. Mary's. We took them into camp for a 22 to 0 count. The Alumni game was exceedingly interesting. The Alumni lead up until the last quarter when our boys defeated them 9 to 6. To pick the Stars', of the season would be no easy task. 'It is true a few showed up better at times than others but Bexley had no Stars . There was team play and plenty of every day hard plugging, which kept the team on top. VVe shall lose through graduation, however, boys like Hayes, Schmitthammer and Mohr, but we still have our old team, with these exceptions, and there are plenty of good players left to fill their shoulder pads. VVe are expecting a good team next year. Vl'e can have it-. VVe must have it. Come on, scrubs, let's 'gol Page Sixty-three ! l TIPTE TCBRCIT -' Girls Basketball Bexley Girls' Basketball Team of '26 was by far the best Bexley has ever had. The squad was large, containing many excellent veteran players and quite a number of prom- ising new ones. The team went through the season undefeated and were runner's up in the Franklin County Tournament. The six girls comprising the first team have gone through their second successful season under the captaincy of Norma Hieronymus. The loss of four Senior members will be felt next year. Lucille Kruckeberg has been elected captain for 1927. Letters were awarded this year to Norma Hieronymus, Charlotte Kruckeberg, Caroline S a n f o r d, Lucille Kruckeberg, Frances Holtzman, Josephine Manly, Laura Reed, Marcella Bailey, Irma Hale, Edythe Manly, Louise Miller. Special mention should be made of the six girls who formed the regular lineup, Norma Hieronymus who has had a brilliant career of basketball at Bexley. She was the high scorer of the team and led it to victory. Her loss in the future will mark a great hardship. Boys Bexley has had good basketball teams for many years. VVhenever the word Bexley is mentioned one immediately thinks of bas- betball, the County and Little Three championships. Bexley's team this year was very success- ful. It is true we did not win either of the championships, but we can't expect that all the time. VVe are satisfied with eight wins and six defeats this season. Our team got off to a fine' start this year. We had little trouble in defeating St. Charles 28 to 6. The game with Hilliards was a thriller but we took them in for a 9 to 8 count. The following Friday the team was in a terrible slump. lve let VVorthington beat us 20 to 17. Once again we won from St. Charles. We defeated the East Broad St. school by a 19 to 8 score. The game with Capital Academy ended in another victory for the blue and white. lVc copped a 22 to 12 win from them. The game with Canal VVinchester was Charlotte Kruckeberg, forward, who has played for four years with Bexley, running up many high scores. Charlotte's ready eye and accurate aim could always be relied on. She was chosen as all-county forward. Her place will be hard to fill. Caroline Sanford, center, who has jumped two years for Bexley. Caroline's ability to pass and her all around good sportsmanship were important factors on the team. She too is lost to the team through graduation. Frances Holtzman, guard, who has played consistently and well for two years. Danny's smile and her fighting spirit has held down many a score of the opponents. Bexley looses a good guard in loosing her. Lucille Kruckeberg, running center, a fine player, clean athlete and a fighter. Lack fought her way to many glories. She made all-county center in the tournament. Lack is next year's captain. Josephine Manly, guard, who has played two years and has one more. Jo is a fighter and a keen sport. She too was chosen guard in the all-county team. Basketball fast and furious but we downed the corn fed boys by an 18 to 15 score. The first step toward the Little Three championship came when we defeated the fast Grandview quintet 16 to 13. Then a defeat by Xenia, 31 to 17, and another by the O. S. Orphan Home quelled the high hopes some, but we did very well considering the fact that we played a Class A team. The season ended in a defeat at the hands of the Columbus Academy. They won the Little Three pennant by a 25 to 11 score. The season as a whole was a success. The team developed into a well balanced scoring machine with Davis, Storer and Rus- sel as leading scorers. Hayes and Klopfer did their share, but while they lacked an eagle eye for the basket, they always kept fighting until the last whistle. To pick a star would be going too far. There was no one individual who deserves that honor. Had it not been for the fine team spirit which was displayed all season and the sheer determination to win, Bexley might have lost several more games. Page Si.z'fy-five THE TMORHQH age Sixty-liao THE TORCH Track y Bexley has always been on the top with her track teams and we have an interesting schedule and a good bunch of jumpers and sprinters. VVe competed with Trade on May 7, on the 15th of May we went to Ohio 'Wesleyan, on the 22nd we entered the state meet held at Ohio State University, and on May 27th we met South High. The captain of our track team is Kenneth Roberts, others on the team are Harry Mor- ris, Tom Davis, Martin Heil, Edward Klop- fer, Howard Anthony and Arch Houstle. Baseball This is the first year for baseball and the team seems to be very good so far. A large squad turned out and Mr. Smith has placed each of the boys at an advantageous position. Some of our Gowdies are T. Davis, T. Storer, El. Hayes, Billy Barrett, Paul and Reed Davidson, Stewart Hirsch, VV. Deal, Don VVeber, D. Davis, Marsh, D. Beggs, Bill Tee-garden, P. Sterner, VV. Haynes and Francis Rowlands. We have had two practice games with the Columbus Academy and each team has a game. The deciding game will be played soon. As the season has not been opened yet we have not played any of our games, but we have two with Grandview and two with Wortliington and one with Gahanna and Trade. Page Sixty-seven THE TOR-QH Tennis Nineteen twenty-five marked the beginning of Bexley's tennis teams. Very few con- tested for the squad. This year a remarka- ble increase in interest in the game is evi- dent from the increase in the squad. The Class The class games were very interesting and some ofuthe smaller boys had a lot of luck at hitting the basket. The Sophomore boys won the pennant this year, and they have a good team. Come on, Sophomores, you may represent the school some day, so do your best now. Mr. Smith's gym classes are progressing very rapidly. There are some good boxers and quite a number of the boys show some skill at wrestling. Besides the regular exercises and drills, Mr. Smith has given the boys a number of health talks on keeping fit. The football and soccer teams were en- joyed so much and the boys did so well that Mr. Smith organized tennis, baseball, track Page Skvty-aight boys' squad contains Burton Elder, Eldridge Hayes, Billy Barrett, Tom Davis, and Billy Teegardin. The girls' squad consists of Norma Hieronymus, Frances Holtzman, Charlotte Kruckeberg and Winifred Johnson. Athletics and volley ball teams for his classes before the end of the year. The girls, under the direction of the new physical directress, Miss Schooler, carried on an extensive and interesting contest in the intermurals in basketball. Many close games were played, especially the final Freshman-Senior game. The Senior girls kept their old championship nevertheless, playing a hard game to victory. The baseball teams were organized and plans made for the baseball intermurals. Many fast and interesting games were played. In the gym corrective exercises and regu- lar floor work have been carried on. Every girl in the high school has been benefited by the excellent gym work. Jo c-as B In L ' M Q, -W Q X H.
