Two score and more we number, we are the largest band, That ever manned the best ship there is in all the land. What ship F you ask, 'tis good old Bexley High The ship wc all do enter with a twinkling of the eye. lVe were the first band to enter Freshmen Bay In this new ship, Oh! how we loved that day. VVe came to it in smaller boats from a calm and peaceful lake, N6 , -.J Ji l D l But now we encountered gales and storms that made our strong hearts quake. WVe passed through terrible gales that year, formidable they seemedg The battering wages raged loud and long, of those we had never dreamed. We learned about biology and studied English night and day, To learn why x was y and y was X, we studied algebra. A gallant crew with spirits high, we sailed to Sophomore Bay, We saw the rocks of Caesar, and our hearts almost gave way.

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. Page Twenty
