WILLIAM DIEHL “Bill” always manages to appear calm and collected as lie pulls cookies from his pockets and slowly makes them disappear. “Cookies are a stimulant for the brain,” Bill says. They certainly must do something for he surely does get those adds for The Torch. Football, basketball, tennis, golf and Glee Club all claim him as a member of their ranks. The reason—Bill can work and still look happy. KATHERINE ENGLEHART Katherine Englehart—Her clever remarks often cause con- siderable amusement. Dependability and willingness to help others are two traits that are admired by all, and Katherine is the fortunate possessor of both. She is pleasant at all times, and ready for fun, in addition to standing high in her studies. She was a member of the Glee Club of ’26, ’27 and ’28. She was also a member of the Dramatics Club and Honor Club. BRUCE GEBHARDT Bruce is one person who has discovered the value of play- ing a saxaphone. He received most of his practice while helping out the orchestra and band. A broken collar-bone received in his first game ruined his chances for football. Tough luck, Bruce. But he still smiles as he roams about school and occasionally stoops to enter a room. Door-ways really should be higher, in order to please Bruce. BERNARD GRAVES Bernard was never, never known to shirk except it he from work. But a chance for an argument will find him right there and “rarin’ to go.” Civics would lose a lot of its interest without Bernard, and the Dramatic Club its chief comedian. What would Bexley do without him? ERNA HART Erna Hart—a slim, dark-eyed blackhaired girl, small, hut oh! the influence these small folks can wield (take for in- stance Napoleon). By her lovable ways, Erna has won for herself hosts of friends. Is there anyone who has not re- ceived one of her friendly smiles from her merry black eyes? Her mental motto seems to be “Look only for the good points in every one,” because Erna always has a good word for all. She also takes an outstanding part in school affairs.

OJTCi VIVIAN BECK One of the youngest members of our class—a slight girl with brown eyes and black curly hair—has quietly and modest- ly walked away with the Highest Honors. We feel that Vivian deserves every bit of praise that she receives—and more. Her capacity for knowledge and her willingness to strive for her goal will surely bring her due reward. Vivian is associated with the Torch Staff, the Forum, the Honor Club, and the Girl Reserves. HENRIETTA BUSCH Pluck and perseverance go a long way. So it was with Hen; even after her lengthening locks refused to stay up during one of our most exciting basketball games she never vowed revenge by having the brown waves shortened again. By experience in a number of operettas, the Orchestra, Glee Club, and music group of the Girl Reserves, Hen will soon be fully prepared to make her debut on the violinist’s concert stage. As sincere friends, the class of ’28 sort o’ feels that Hen might give each of us a “comp” or two in the orchestra circle that evening. GLADYS CHRISTIAN Gladys’ never-failing smile and readiness to help others at all times are two of her outstanding characteristics. She is full of fun and never seems downhearted. She has been popu- lar with everyone, especially the basketball girls, to whom she has devoted much of her time. HUGH CURRAN Good things come in small packages and “Hugh” proved no exception to the rule. One of Bexley’s typewriters will certainly be lonesome for “Hugh” next year. Bexley is only sorry “Hugh” waited until his senior year to come from South Hi and join our ranks. TOM DAVIS “Tommy” is the person who gets the credit for naming our school paper, “The Torch.” An observer around the high school would have seen Tommy’s black head dashing up for football and basketball practice a great many times during his stay at Bexley. Glee Club and Spanish Club also claim our Tom’s time. “No sense in sitting still,” Tom says.

EILEEN HEMPSTEAD From Reynoldsburg came Eileen—full of life and pep. One of the first tlvngs she did was to become a member of the Girls’ Basketball Squad. We, her classmates, know her for a real girl—a real booster and a good sport. Her name is among those who are members of the Girl Reserve Club. DOROTHY KELLEY A girl with dark brown hair, winn’ng eyes and slender figure, whose charms are many and whose character is un- questioned. Her voice is “gentle and low” an excellent thing in woman. “Dot” is one of our most accomplished graduates, and is loved for her unhesitating service. As editor of The Torch and The Annual, and President of School, and The Girl Reserves, she has served faithfully and successfully. In addi- tion to her outside activities, she has maintained a high stand- ing in scholarship. WILMA KERSCHNER A student came to the Senior Class from Central Hi this year. It was not long before her pleasant manner and friendliness won her many friends. Our newly acquired friend is “that sweet Wilma Kerschner.” CLARA FRANCES KETNER She of the trim figure, with a small charming face, framed in a wealth of brown hair, that’s “our Francie.” If just “being yourself”—natural at all times is the rarest of' all charms, she ranks first. But not only that—besides being a clever manipulator of the sphere on the basketball court— (team member ’26, ’27, ’28) she skillfully wields the tennis racket. Francie takes an active part in school affairs, and is a prominent member of the Girl Reserves, being Chairman of the Entertainment Committee in ’28. Last but not least she is a loyal and sincere friend of true blue. STEWART HIRSCH ;eh is one of tbe best all-around athletes in the He was the captain of the football team, and running guard in basketball. He catches on team. Stewart is not only good in sports, but nake a successful business man. He was business of the Torch, and advertising manager of the Annual.
