WTF- 1.-fm? 9231 344:-:fa -.1-jpgjffg ' On a certain September morning, 1923, as a group of fifty-three bewildered, curious, wide-eyed creatures, we, the class of '27, began our school lives in Bexley High. YVe were so ignorant of High School life. It seemed we l1ad everything to learn the first week. Ive registered in the Study Hall with Bliss! Thomas and INIr. Geist for registration teachers. Ive elected Carolyn Sanford as president. Esther and Sarah Tomlinson invited us to have our Halloween party at their home. This was the biggest event of the year. Bexley's Freshmen Debating team was challenged by Grandview's team. The topic was, Resolved: That United States should enter the present League of Nations. VVe had the affirmative side and though our team fought hard for their points the nega- tive vwon. The year passed quickly. On the last day of school to celebrate we were no longer the youngest high school class, we gave a picnic at Spring Lakes. As Sophomores we registered in Miss Coen's and bliss Geist's rooms. Only forty- eight of us returned. This year there were many changes. lfr. Dietrich came to Bexley to take Mr. Beck's place. llr. Snyder and lNIr. Grimm of Capital University were given charge of the music in the school. To inspire the students to work for high grades the Honor Roll was established. The Hi-Y and Boy Scouts were organ- ized. Frances Glenn was our choice for class president this year. Again we held our class Halloween party at the home of Esther and Sarah Tomlinson. XVe ended this year with another picnic at Spring Lakes. By the time we were Juniors we felt thoroughly acquainted with High School life. YVe had decreased to thirty-six and we registered with Miss Hamann and Miss Geist. This year Bexley began a school paper. Everyone was trying to name it when little Tom Davis suggested The Torch, and the Torch it became. The Girl Reserves were organized and twelve Junior girls joined them. In February we were entertained by the Seniors with a dance. Confetti, paper hats, balloons, prize dances and the like helped us to pass an evening never to be forgotten. Martin Heil was our president this year. In May we returned a dance to the Seniors. Then came the most trying time of our lives-we held our breath, looked at our cards and sighed with relief-we were Sen- iors. After a long vacation we filed back into our place. XVe were all happy at the thoughts of being Seniors. IVe were glad this was our last year in High Scllool. YVe registered with blrs. Brightman and Miss Taylor. There were fifty of us this year. Ive elected Big Tom Davis as our president. In October the Juniors and Seniors combined and gave a party. In February we entertained the Juniors with a dance. All through our four years our class has been very well represented in all activities such as football, basketball and others. Then came work, studying and many things to attract our attentions and taking up so much time that all too soon we real- ized we must leave Bexley High and our friends. Now, as we linger on the steps of parting and look back through the four happy years and revive them again and again. It is with tears in our eyeskt ,,', ' tfwe say Farewell Bexley. p Q - ELTGENIA Df LoRa'1 i'z3Q Nin etee n
