Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths Of all the western stars, until I die.

Yesterday was one of those typical March days that claim as their victims all persons who insist on wearing hats. Hats of every size and shape were JL flying through the air, with their owners in mad pursuit. I was on the point of entering the subway at Broad and High Streets, when something arrested my vision. It was a man, desper' ately chasing a departing hat. There was something familiar in that sprinting step. Could it be—? Only time would tell. The hat, which this man was apparently pursuing, was directly in my path. I stooped hastily and picked it up, just as its owner came puffing up. “Well, if it isn’t—!” we exploded spontaneously. My “hunch” had been right, for none other than my old classmate, Bill Roberts, stood be' fore me. I grabbed his arm, elbowed through the throng of pedestrians, and in three shakes of a lamb's tail, we were sitting at a little tea table by a fireside, munching sandwiches and supping chocolate. A “gab fest” was in order. “What an interesting little place this tea shop is!” began Bill. “Know who runs it? “I do,” I replied, modestly blushing. “I call it ‘Peggy’s Pancake Shop. We specialize in pancakes.” “Well, well, now isn’t that fine! I recall your early diatetic ambitions. ’ (This from Bill, the big business man, slightly condescending). “Now, now,” I interrupted, my womanly intuition coming to the front, “let's talk about you. Why it's been almost ten years since we’ve seen each other. I heard that you were in England with the Western Electric Company. Were you, really?” “Quite so, quite so!” answered Bill. “I'm the chief engineer at the London office. Jim Benedict has a similar job in New York. I’m just home now on a short visit. Bully old place, England. By the by, note the frock worn by the lady at the next table. Charming, isn’t it? She looks vaguely familiar.” “She should! That’s Betty Newburger,” said I. “She is singing in opera now. The dress she is wearing certainly looks like a “Mellman” frock, made by the famous dress designer, Zelda Mellman.” “Oh, I say! That reminds me. I met Jim Patton coming home on the Transatlantic Air Line,” Bill put in. “He’s the foreign agent for the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. Travels a lot. Told me he dined in Shanghai, China, at the Roger Edmiston Hotel with Marshall Dasher, who is a missionary there, and when he stopped in the Philippines, he visited one of the schools and found Ruth Waddell, Letha Stevens, and Virginia Michael all teaching there. He ran into Doris Howland when he stopped in Brazil, where she is the American Consul.” “What news! Oh look, coming in the door, over there. That’s the president of the Hunt' ington National Bank and his wife.” “Alias Hugh Bone and the former Miss Barbara Shumaker. Am I right?” questioned Bill. “How perfectly charming! Haven’t changed a bit. My young sister attended Columbia last year and had ‘Barb’ as a math teacher. She liked her jolly well. To change the subject, I’ve been noticing the dog prints on the walls. Remarkable work!” “They are,” I enthusiastically answered. “They were done by Elinor Shultz. Jean San' ford did the portrait over the fireplace. My own little terrier, ‘Skippy,’ posed for the sketch to the left of the door. ‘Skippy’ had colic last week, so I rushed him to the nearest veterinary hos' pital, and Dr. Robert Knies took care of him.” “Interesting, indeed. Could you tell me who decorated these windows and walls? The colors are perfect.” “Jane Reed did them,” I explained. “Her decorating work is splendid. She has a studio in collaboration with Evelyn Petzinger, who draws all the Campbell’s Soup advertisements.” By this time, all the sandwiches and chocolate had disappeared. We rose to go. Bill, eager to examine completely the changes time had made in Columbus since his absence, voted for a stroll of inspection up High Street. Leisurely we walked along, glancing up intermittently at the skyscrapers that loomed on all sides. On a second floor window of one building we read the sign, “Marsh, Sharpe, and Hays, Law Offices.” “Bertha Schiefer is their private secretary,” I informed Bill. “Best lawyers in town.” We paused for a moment in front of a book store. “Lynas” was the name on the plate glass show windows. “Not Eleanor of the auburn hair?” inquired Bill. “None other,” I answered. “Let’s go in.” In we went, but Eleanor had left for the day. Unable to resist the display of books around us, we indulged in a literary feast. “Look,” I exclaimed. “This novel is by Dorothy Sculler. It has the Pulitzer Prize cover on it!” THE ORCHt “Look yourself, said Bill. “Here’s a book of Children’s Plays by Ruth Wheeler, and this Modern Sonnets was written by Anna Kathryn Ault. Eagerly we feasted on. On the shelf we found The Principles of Theology—author, Theo' dore Boehm. On another, The Mysteries of Chemistry Revealed by “Tony Landrum (of course, “Tony was not on the cover). Exhausted by an hour of such browsing, we decided upon a brief interlude. The new pub' lie library just across the street proved the haven of our rest. “Rosemary Brightman is the head librarian here, I whispered to Bill, “and Louisa Gardner, Berneice Little and Etta Mae Huston are her assistants. How do you like it? “Think it’s great, grinned Bill, settling back in a great soft overstuffed chair, one of the several hundred in the large reading room. From where we were seated, at a full length Gothic window, we commanded a view of Co' lumbus’ most beautiful civic buildings. “The building with the pillars, over to the left, is Music Hall, I explained to Bill. “Nell Schelky conducts symphonies there on Sunday afternoons. Lillian Levin, of the New York Symphony Orchestra, was guest violinist last week. There’s a school behind the hall where Ruth McCullough and Virginia Gardner teach piano. Grace Benedict teaches voice there, too. The building opposite Music Hall is the Court House. Judge Kauffman is trying a case there now. “I didn’t know 'Chuck’ was ever interested in that type of work. “He isn’t, I explained. “Mrs. Kauffman is the judge, nee Helen Fuhr. 'Chuck’ is orchestra ieader in our most exclusive night club. A second Paul Tremaine, or I miss my bet. “I suppose Helen sentences all the people 'intoxicated’ by Chuck’s music. (Good old Bill with his same sense of humor). “Go on; I’m interested. “That’s the Education Administration Building over to the right, I rattled on. “Super' intendent William Halley has his office there. Margaret Gossenz is his secretary. And this reminds me—they’ve opened a new kindergarten school out in Bexley, and Mildred Connell, Hazel Scheaf, Vergene Petty, and Phyllis Levinson are teaching there. Freda Klingbeil is a 'gym’ teacher in one of the Bexley high schools. Martha Edgar teaches English in the University High School, where Barbara Elleman is principal. Hoarse from so much whispering, I subsided into silence. Bill picked up the Columbus Dispatch, which was on the table beside him. We scanned it together. “My word, read this! he expostulated, pointing to a front page article. I read: “Scientists Make Startling Discovery—Koch and Neunherz Find Use for Old Razor Blades. Farther down on the page we found, “Aviator Emswiler Sets New Altitude Record. We turned to the sport page. “Lytle Expected to Cinch Title for Phillies, read the headline. The criticism of a new talkie caught our eye on the theatrical page. “Actress Waltermire has done remarkably well in her latest production, directed by Tom Leahy—,” ran the article. In the same column we read: “Walter Russell, popular tap dancer, will perform at the Ohio next week. Inas Ealy, famous child impersonator, will be on the same bill. Phil Schiff is directing this lively production, which contains the newest 'hits’ by song writer, Helen Carson. The initials at the end of the article were “M. E. “Mary Eesley? questioned Bill. I nodded. 'Jean Moores is on the staff, too. She is the society editor. “Shall we renew the quest? asked Bill, laying down the paper. “Let’s. There’s much yet to be seen. We left the library and boarded a sightseeing bus. Comfortably seated, I began again, “Over there is the Medical Arts Building. Doctors Hay' den Rector, Lee Cavey, and Charleene Carrick have their offices there. Then a long'winded “barker , seated in the front o' the bus, relieved me of my job. “The structure on the right, he bawled, “is the city’s most beautiful office building, constructed at a cost of four million, six hundred and —’’ “Howard Seibert, stock broker, has his office there, I supplemented. “So does Ted PetZ' inger, the city’s most efficient accountant.” “Now over here to the left is our Y. M. C. A., continued the guide. “Charles Carpenter heads the swimming department there. He runs a boys’ camp in the summer, I informed Bill. “Didn’t Isabel Penn go into Y. W. C. A. work?” “Yes, she is secretary there now, and loves her work. Look! see that big department store? It is one of the best in town and is owned and run by Fred Schiefer. “Seems that most of our classmates prefer staying near the old home town, mused Bill. “Most of them do, I returned. “We do have our wanderers, though. Wayne Ketner is in Chicago now, angling for a seat on the Chicago stock exchange. Sue Baumann is out in Holly' wood, designing movie sets; and I heard that Harris Gitlin is in Idaho running a model farm. “On second thought, we are fairly well represented in world affairs, after all. A short time ago I read that Allan Meyer had undertaken an engineering project in Melbourne, Australia. Couldn’t be much farther from home. -21- CLASS 19 3 1 THE ORCHtttvt “Yes, and Earl Elleman and Oliver Bierman are in Africa making air surveys of the Sahara.” The bus stopped with a jolt. We saw that a parade was impeding our progress. In one of the cars, bedecked with tri-colored bunting, sat Congressman Robert Wheaton. “Let’s get our here,” suggested Bill. As we descended, a strong gust of wind tugged at Bill’s hat. He snatched in vain. I stood watching him retreat into the distance, his hat rolling madly before him. MARGARET JOHNSON WILLIAM ROBERTS CLASS HISTORY IS AN historian, I hardly know where to begin, for I never realized that one class could crowd so many activities into four years of high school life. So -A. follow me as I read the first chapter of that most interesting hook, “The Class of 1931.” And here is the first chapter as recorded in the 1928 Torch Annual. Can these funny, scared-looking little freshmen, who gaze out from behind huge, horn-rimmed spectacles really be us — the Seniors? Yes, here is Sam Lytle on the football squad; “Peggy” Johnson and Hugh Bone are Latin Club officers; and Elwood Marsh and Dick Koch are on the student council, so that identifies us. That year, we were quite modest, as all freshmen should be, but we did have a class party and begin to blossom out considerably. The next chapter, headed “Sophomores,” grows more exciting. We began to realize that being a high school student really meant not only enjoyment in activities, but pride in the welfare of our school and class. Witness our participation in clubs, athletics, and scholarship. Helen Fuhr and Antoinette Landrum represented us on student council; Walter Russell, Sam Lytle, Bob Wheaton, and Bob Knies played on the football squad, while Sam and Hugh Bone made the basketball squad. Freda Kling- beil and Martha Smith played varsity basketball, and the sophomore girls were helpful in organizing the Girls’ Athletic Club. Nine of our class belonged to the Honor Club. The 1930 Annual reveals us as juniors, and that was an eventful year. Was it not? We came to the fore in dramatics, when Betty Newburger and Nell Schelky were the only girls who held parts in the cast of “Miss Cherryblossom.” Wayne Ketner, Dick Koch, Rosemary Brightman, and Letha Stevens were junior student council mem- bers. Three juniors were officers in the newly organized Hi-Y club. In football we really did “shine,” for Chuck Kauffman, Hugh Bone, Chuck Carpenter, and Bob Knies played on the team. Coach Smith said of Bob, “He will be the backbone of the team next year.” Sam Lytle, Hugh Bone, Wayne Ketner, and Chuck Kauffman played on the basketball squad. Nell Schelky was president of the G. A. C., and Freda Klingbeil filled the secretary’s job. The junior girls won the basketball championship, and Bertha Schiefer and Freda played on the All-Star soccer team. And as seniors, we are completing the book. It is hard to write this final chapter. It makes one feel quite solemn and just a bit sad. “Chuck” Carpenter was school presi- dent this year, and Barbara Shumaker was editor-in-chief of the Torch. Wayne Ketner filled the honorable job of basketball captain. The operetta, “The Belle of Bagdad,” was produced by a cast composed entirely of seniors. Sue Bauman was homecoming queen. Isabel Penn was Girl Reserve president, and Hugh Bone headed the Hi-Y’s. So, as we look back upon the activities of this year and of the past years, we, the seniors of ’31, may view it as the end of a part of our lives, but a part which is perfect because of its completeness and the happiness which it has brought to us. May we remember our four years, classmates, not as a song which ends in sadness, but as the grand overture to that fascinating drama of “Life.” So, ring up the curtain, and let the play go on!

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY 6LEVEN members of the senior class of 1931 and three members of the junior class of 1932 were selected as members of the Bexley Chapter of the National Honor Society of secondary schools, this year. The object of this organization is, “to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in pupils of Bexley High School.” Membership is based on four things: scholarship, service, leadership, and char' acter. The members are selected from the upper third of their class in scholarship, and each year, 15 per cent of the senior class may be admitted. This year five per cent of the junior class was admitted. The students on the senior Honor Roll are the ten who received the highest aver' age in their four years of high school wor .

Helen Fuhr—92.68 ■yrw CLASS 1931 A REVIEW OF THE ATHLETIC SEASON By Coach Smith IN REVIEW of the entire athletic program for 1930'31, one could say that Bexley has won more than her share of honors. In Central Buckeye League competition, Bexley has tied for the football championship, won the track, and swimming cham- pionships, and has an outstanding tennis team. This leaves only basketball and golf in which no honors were taken. Bexley is the only member of the Central Buck- eye League that has a baseball team. Our team averaged about 50% of all games played. The baseball team was not outstanding but kept plug- ging away and improving but could only finish at about the 500% mark for the season. In league competition Bexley won one major championship and tied for another out of three possible championships in football, basketball and track, and took honors in two of the three minor sport championships. The football team was a much better than aver- age team as evidenced by six victories, two de- feats, and one tie in rather keen competition. The basketball team won only four out of thirteen games and was considered rather weak, in light of games won and lost, but four of those games were lost by a single basket. This shows that the team was almost as strong as its opponent but not quite strong enough to put over victory. The track team was the strongest track team Bexley has had in years. It was ex- ceptionally strong in some events and well balanced in all others so that it was unde- feated in competition in its own class. The swimming team was very good. In the league meet they collected 41 out of a possible 60 points to win the championship easily. However, the team bowed to Green- field High, 41-23. The tennis team was the strongest in years and was not defeated at the time of this writing. The golf team with nearly all new players, experienced difficulty in winning very many matches. So in view of all the sports we should say that Bexley athletes were not highly successful but-successful enough to cause the class of 1931 to be proud of them and to remember some of their outstanding performances for a long time.

FOOTBALL y1=1 HE Bexley football team experienced a successful season this year, for the grid' I ders came off victors in six games, losers in two, and tied Grandview, 7-7, for first place honors in the Central Buckeye League. The Bexley Lions also once again tied for “Little Three honors when they trimmed Upper Arlington, 19'6. The home team opened the season with an easy victory over Grove City. The inexperienced team, with only three regulars back, defeated Grove City, 25-0. Bexley overcame a weighty Bucyrus team to the tune of 13-6, the following week. South dealt out an 18-0 defeat for Bexley’s first disaster of the season. The home team came back strong for a 39'0 victory over Circleville. The Lions had a great deal of difficulty in defeating an unusually powerful Westerville eleven, 26T9, however. The championship tilt with Grandview was disappointing to the home team fans. The Bexley team permitted a strong Grandview team to equal their score and share the first place honors with a 7-7 tie. The Blue and White gridders took the weak Upper Arlington team into camp with a 19'6 count, October 31. Granville also succumbed to the Bexley onslaught. The final total was 27-0. The second defeat of the season was suffered in the last game of the year. The Piqua Indians trounced the Lions by a 6-0 tally. Followers of Bexley’s grid fortunes felt that, despite the score, the Bexley team had given a performance equal to that of Piqua, and might at least have deserved a tie. BASKETBALL yciHE 1930-31 cage season was not altogether successful this year, as reports will I n show. The Bexley team won only four out of thirteen starts, hut the fact that the home five lost three games by the narrow margin of one goal should offer some consolation to Bexley rooters. Wayne Ketner, honorary captain, performed nicely throughout the season at forward. Sam Lytle gave a good account of himself at the guard position. Stark and Eckley traded the jumping position throughout the season, and both turned in favorable work. Hugh Bone and Tom Leahy presented good performances at the guard positions, while Hardwick played forward well for a first year man. Cavey, Kauffman, and Russell were quite acceptable as substitutes. The three regulars hack from last year’s team were Bone, Ketner, and Lytle. These three formed the nucleus of the 1931 squad. The Bexley team piled up the following record: Bexley, 10; Grove City, 17. Bexley, 16; Westerville, 18. Bexley, 20; Fairmont, 31. Bexley, 16; Grandview, 42. Bexley, 11; Urbana, 18.

Second Row: Hardwick, Brenning, Engle, Beggs, Jones, Helms, Meyers, Benjamin, Turner. Third Row: Coach Smith, Cohen, Manager, Bickle, Van Bibber, Manly, Henceroth, Pullen, Fogle, Mitchell, Elsass. BASEBALL V1=1 HE Bexley nine had difficulty in breaking into a winning streak this year. The I 1 home team lost their first three games, two of them by the narrow margin of one run. The season opened with the Bexley players journeying to Canal Winchester. The Winchester boys won 6-5. Grove City trimmed the Bexleyites, 5-4, and the Groveport nine, 14-5, before the home team could wallop Gahanna, 8-2, for their initial win. The Bexley boys defeated London, 5-4, before the Torch went to press. Coach Smith had the job of building a new team with but four experienced players: Hugh Bone, Earl Brenning, Sam Lytle, and Virgil Jones. The regular lineup was as follows: Hugh Bone at first base, Jack Benjamin, sec' ond base, Sam Lytle, short stop, Hardwick, third base, Jones, left field, Ketner or Meyers, center field, Turner, right field. Earl Brenning pitched while Engle completed the list as catcher. Utility infielders were Christian, Beggs, Stark, and Elsass. Outfield substitutes were SchifF, Glick, and Helms. The complete schedule was as follows: April 14—Bexley 5, Canal Winchester 6 May 8—Bexley 5, London 4 April 24—Bexley 4, Grove City 5 May 18—Bexley vs. Reynoldsburg April 28—Bexley 5, Groveport 14 May 22—Bexley vs. Lancaster May 5—Bexley 8, Gahanna 2 May 28—Bexley vs. London A game with West was postponed on account of rain. The date has not yet been announced. THE O R C H Front Row, left to right: Carpenter, Ketner, Stark, Knies, Wheaton, Roy, Manager. Second Row: Coach Smith, Hardwick, Schlitt, Gitlin, Mayer, Hoffhine. TRACK HE 1931 track team was the most successful team that Bexley has ever had. I C The Bexley tracksters have a perfect record, since all three of the scheduled V_ meets were won. Bexley easily defeated Aquinas and Groveport in a triangular track meet at the beginning of the season. Coach Smith’s boys next ran off with first place honors in the Central Buckeye League meet. Bexley scored 56% points, Grandview 54, Marysville 17, Westerville 14%, Circleville 12%, and Delaware 9, in this meet. The Little Three meet was cinched by the overwhelming score of Bexley 82 J 2, Grandview 61, and Upper Arlington 23% points.

CLASS of 1932 7] THE TORCH I SHALL NOT PASS AGAIN THIS WAY T HE bread that bringeth strength I want to give, The water pure that bids the thirsty live: want to help the fainting day by day; m sure I shall not pass again this way. I want to give the oil of joy for tears, The faith to conquer crowding doubts and fears. Beauty for ashes may I give alway: I'm sure I shall not pass again this way. I want to give good measure running o'er, And into angry hearts I want to pour The answer soft that turneth wrath away; I'm sure I shall not pass again this way. I want to give to others hope and faith, I want to do all that the Master saith; I want to live aright from day to day; I’m sure I shall not pass again this way.

Through the narrow aisle leading from the curb to the gate at the court of Baumann's Chinese Theater the great and the near-great streamed to attend the opening. The whole scene spread out gloriously before me as I stood on the outer balcony. Hello! a soft voice said behind me. I turned and faced Jane Landrum, mag- nificent in gold lame and sable. I'm stopping off on my way to the South Pacific, she said. Missionary work. You don't look like a missionary, I informed her frankly. Oh, I sell chewing gum on the side, she returned. But tell me about yourself. Tell me about yourself! I begged, and some of the people back home. A lot has happened 'back home'. Elaine Moore and Mary Kathryn Dingledine have opened a stage-struck sort of gym, where I maintain my figure, and Don Elsass is heading a new hospital. Ruth Jane Barrow, Ruth Lamborn, Fred Eckley, and Paul Callif are on the board; and Jane Drescher, Helen Corcoran, and Martha Smith are nurses there. Bill Drennen and Harry Keys have their own private hospitals down East. Jack Silberstein is their most famous surgeon. They're all intensely expensive. Our attention was drawn to the court, where the masters of ceremonies an- nounced the great names as they arrived. The Roy Leadys (Eleanor Pabst) and Paul Leady had just entered. Roy, I informed Jane, is president of the studio which releases all of Joseph's productions, and Paul is his legal representative. Eleanor gave up her kindergarten work to marry Roy. How noble! Jane sighed. The Leadys joined us. I've signed Eileen Ebert and Jim Sanford to a co-starring contract for three pictures, Paul announced proudly. Five other studios bid for them. They're Broadway's favorites, you know. By the way, I saw those new musicals with Bob Gill, Eddie Sayre, and Albert Heil in them. Their comedy is amazing. I remember having seen drawings for their stage settings, I offered. Virgil Jones did them. He's getting along. To the extent of having a private secretary, Eleanor informed us. Mary Jane Koch. She's resigning, though, to marry Ray Medors. Dorothy Hansberger and Courtenay Wakefield are getting married soon, Jane said. Courtenay and Bill Brightman head that new globe-encircling air line. I came West on one of their ships. Betty Kurtzhalz was with me. She's representing Jack Benjamin's news sydicate, and is covering the premiere this evening. She should be here any minute now. Speaking of marriages, I put in, Charles Frank and Virginia Reeves have finally done it. Virginia ’bummed’ her way through Europe first, though, and wrote a book on it. She intends raising Scotties. Chuck is one of our foremost ceramists, you know. Virginia entertains the Missionary Society every Easter, Jane told us. And have you heard about the International Chemical Products Company? We hadn't. Harry Allen, Norma Downing, John Malloy, Ludwig Myers, and Fred Pullen have founded it, and make everything chemical, including a gasoline substitute that won't work. CLASS of 19 32 THE TCECH Cheers from the crowd drew our eyes once more to the court. Frances had entered, and the mob was going mad. Quite a drawing card, Jane mused. The great actress hurried through the court and vanished within the lobby, from where arose a subdued chorus of oh's and ah's. What a pity Shirley Engler Roberts couldn't be here, Paul lamented. She married Bill Roberts, you know. They're touring the world. I turned to Paul. Is it true, I asked, that you're trying to buy Hoffman and Brenning for a football epic? We're trying. But Jack is so busy with the hotel business—he and Dick Morris operate a nation-wide chain of hostelries, all of them designed by Ray Latham and one of them managed by Janet Graham—that he's afraid he can't make it. Bren- ning is operating a physical culture school with Bob Burgett. He was such a football giant at Wesleyan that they abandoned the rest of the team. From the orchestra came the lilting strains of a waltz. 'Viennese Waltz Suite, Movement Number One,' Jane murmured. Helene Coppersmith has critics wag- ging fingers af Strauss positively! And have you heard that Mac Pryor has signed for radio appearances and is the most valuable star at the Met? Elaine Bernhard, Helen Murphy, and Vera Nesser are doing wonders over the CBS chain, Eleanor remarked. You should hear them over the radio on our yacht! Roy gave me a yacht for a wedding present, she explained. Mac Henney designed it and Clara Wheeler did the interior. Very modern. At the far end of the court below Maxine Fuller and Frieda Busch stepped from a Rolls and made their way through the lines to the lobby. A moment later they joined us. M axine, I said in an aside to Jane, is the colony's most popular divorce law- yer, and Frieda is the envy and despair of Paris. She creates all of Frances Joseph's personal and screen wardrobes. Hello, hello, hello! Maxine gushed. She made for Paul and straightened his tie, and then turned to me. I received a long letter from Thornton Smith, she said. He's making millions as president of a pancake griddle company. Mr. and Mrs. George Baumann (he owns the Chinese Theater, and Mrs. Bau- mann is a former teacher) and Betty Kurtzhalz joined our group. The round of saluta- tions was inflicted. Mary Kauffman, Betty told us, entering into the spirit of the thing, is deeply engaged in social welfare work. She's being assisted by Faye Silberstein and Virginia Cohagan. Esther Polster, you know, is studying economic conditions in Europe, and plans to journey to Russia with her work. 'Speaking of Russia, Paul put in, Harry Miles, Harold Jording, and Ted Mayer are erecting what is claimed to be the world's largest hydroelectric plant, in the Soviet Republic. Woodford Thomas and Vernon Underwood recently completed a similar project in India. Oh, yes, Eleanor finished, Everett Drennen is General Electric's representative there. Violet Smoke went along as his private secretary. Bonnie Mae Steele and Clarabelle Storer are doing secretarial work in our Eastern offices, and Ray Leddy and Warren McCracken are news reel cameramen. They're covering the Geneva Arms Conference now, Paul informed us. Senator Francis Taber is an important member of our delegation there. ( CONTINUED ON PAGE 34 ) [24] CLASS of 1 932 THE TCCCH CLASS HISTORY 3b1 dll school. ET US take a look into the past and see what we, the class of '32, have been doing in the last four years. First we see ourselves a group of timid, green freshmen, wondering what it's about. But soon we become accustomed to the fact that we are in high The big event of the first year is our picnic at Rector's farm. Now it seems we are getting a little bolder—not the same scared freshmen. No, of course not—we are sophomores! By this time we have that know-it-all air and even dare to walk along beside the high-and-mighty seniors. We begin to show brawn in athletics as well as excellent ability in studies, with five of us in the Honor Club. Again there is a picnic at Rector's farm and also a masquerade party. Another year has passed, and now we are taking a very active part in athletics. Football and basketball, especially, claim our junior athletes. Representing our class in the National Honor Society are Betty Kurtzhalz, Leland Roy, and James Brooke, the first juniors ever to attain that honor. Of course we have a Junior-Senior, and the seniors invite us to their party too. Then we come to the greatest and best year of our high school career. We have a number of outstanding athletes, especially in tennis, swimming, football, track, baseball, and basketball; we have many honor students, musicians, dramatists, artists, and leaders along all lines. Our class has changed the standard school ring for the first time in four years. Presidents of the various high school organizations are: Jean Boerger, Girl Re- serves; Virgil Fogle, Hi-Y; Dorothy Hansberger, Latin Club; Betty Kurtzhalz, Girls' Athletic Club; and Esther Polster, Spanish Club. At our homecoming game with Piqua, Elaine Bernhard is the queen with Shirley Engler and Virginia Reeves as her attendants. The operetta, The Toreadors, reveals some fine singers, among whom are Elaine Bernhard, Virginia Reeves, Mac Pryor, Charles Frank, and Jim Sanford. Then the senior play, The Nut Farm , with Eileen Ebert and Fred Eckley as the leads, is also a great success. Francis Taber is president of our class and Mac Pryor, president of the school. At the graduation exercises, Mary Jane Landrum is our valedictorian, Jack Benjamin, salutatorian, and Bill Drennen, class orator. The juniors give us a big party, and then this happy senior year is concluded with our class breakfast. And now we have completed the first chapter of our careers. As we look back over our high school days, we do not think of them as the most interesting volume of life, but rather as the early chapters that lead to the grand climax—Success. —FRIEDA BUSCH.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY FOURTEEN members of the senior class of 1932 were selected as members of the Bexley Chapter of the National Honor Society of secondary schools, this year. Betty Kurtzhalz, Leland Roy, and James Brooke were elected to membership in 1932, when five per cent of the junior class was admitted. The object of this organization is, to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stim- ulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in pupils of Bexley High School. Membership is based on four things: scholarship, service, leadership, and charac- ter. The members are selected from the upper third of their class in scholarship, and each year, 15 per cent of the senior class may be admitted. The students on the senior Honor Roll are the 20 who received an average of A in their four years of high school work.

But the Bexley teams this year are in general the best ever to represent Bexley High, and the Senior Class can b proud to claim a majority of these athletes. The football team was undoubtedly the best ever to represent Bexley. They won 7 out of 10 games and lost the other three by very small margins to big schools. They repeated as co-champions of the Central Buckeye League and champions of the Little Three and scored 193 points to 34 for the opposition. The basketball team is the only team of the year without an enviable record. They won 7 out of 13 games played but only finished tied for fourth place with two other teams in the C. B. L.; and they achieved that little success through sheer fight and determination after los- ing many early season games. The track team was outstanding; again win- ning the League championship as well as the Little Three championship for the second con- secutive year. They also won a triangular meet with North and Granville and only lost an early dual meet to West High. They also made a better showing than any previous Bexley team in the District meet. The baseball team has now won five and lost five. This is a good record for Bexley baseball teams in recent years because we have not been noted for out- standing baseball teams. The swimming team again won the C. B. L. championship as well as the Little Three championship, and placed fourth in the Ohio State championship. However, we lost two dual meets. The tennis team has lost only one match out of five and has annexed the C. B. L. championship as well as the Central District doubles championship. The golf team has won 8 out of 10 matches and also the Central Buckeye League championship for the first time. It is the best Bexley golf team in the history of the school. In summarizing then, Bexley this year has won the Central Buckeye League cham- pionship in football, track, swimming, golf, and tennis and only failed to win the championship in one sport, basketball. We also won the doubles championship in tennis for the Central District and copped fourth in the State swimming meet. CLASS of 19 3 2 THE TCECH FOOTBALL G III HE Bexley football team proved to be one of the best Bexley has ever had. Ill All Central Buckeye League rivals but one were subdued by large margins, and the three games on the regular schedule which were lost were by very small margins. The team won the Little Three championship, and tied for the Central Buckeye title, taking seven out of ten contests. The squad was well balanced, and boasted plenty of capable reserve material, chalking up 193 points to 34 for the combined opposition. With nine lettermen back from last year, the home team easily defeated Grove City 12-0 in the first game of the season. Next came Bucyrus, where the Lions lost by the narrow margin of one point, 7-6. The second defeat came at the hands of the North High Polar Bears, who finally managed to put over a forward pass to win by a 7-0 score. The Lions ran rough-shod over most Central Buckeye opponents, defeating Circleville 19-0, Westerville 27-0, Marysville 34-0, and swamping Grandview 40-0, the season's high water mark. The Lions downed Arlington 38-13, to capture Little Three honors, and defeated Piqua on a rain-soaked field, 15-0. Delaware turned in an upset in the final scheduled game, nosing out the home team 7-2 at Selby Field, and forcing them into a tie with Grandview for the league championship. A post-season clash was arranged for Thanksgiving Day with Lancaster, the powerful Lancaster team defeating Bexley 21-6 in a hard-fought game.

BASKET BALL G III HE Bexley cage team was not entirely successful this year, but made a much III better showing than last year's squad, by winning seven out of 13 starts. Of the six games lost, four were taken by Circleville and Delaware, who later battled for the league championship, and the other two by Marysville and Grandview, who were both beaten in their second encounter with the Lions. The first team was composed of Eckley, honorary captain, and Hardwick, for- wards; Henceroth, center; and Christian and Stark, guards. Benjamin and Brenning alternated with Hardwick and Christian at forward and guard positions respectively. Petzinger, Myers, Hoffman, and Elsass also saw action. The three lettermen back from last year were Eckley, Hardwick, and Stark. The Bexley five's record: Bexley 17; Grove City 10. Bexley 26; Fairmont 24. Bexley 28; Westerville 18.

BASEBALL C fl| HE 1932 Bexley baseball team met with only average success, coming out on III top in five contests, and losing five. The nine got off to a late start against Reynoldsburg and lost the opener 3-1. In the next game the home team swamped Gahanna 12-1, but in the third tilt of the season was beaten by London by a 10-5 count. Canal Winchester and Groveport next fell victims of the Lion nine, losing by scores of 7-5 and 9-2. Columbus Central and Lancaster proved too much for the Blue and White, each squad beating the home team by a one-run margin. Bexley won from St. Mary's I 5 to 14, and scored seven runs in the last inning to take London's measure, I 1-8. The following players held down first team berths: Christian, first base; Stark, second base: Corcoran, shortstop; Hardwick, third base; Burgett, left field; Myers, center field; and Hoffman, right field. Brenning occupied the mound and Engle completed the battery. Other members of the squad who saw action were Glick, Beggs, Bright, and Elsass. The schedule was as follows: April 15—Bexley I, Reynoldsburg 3 April 19—Bexley 12, Gahanna I April 29—Bexley 5, London 10 May 3—Bexley 7, Canal Winchester 5 May 6—Bexley 9, Groveport 2 May 10—Bexley 4, Central 5 May 13—Bexley 5, Lancaster 6 May 17—Bexley 15, St. Marys 14 May 19—Bexley II, London 8 May 25—Bexley 9, Lancaster 14 CLASS of 19 3 2 THE TCECH Front row, left to right: Bright, Christian, Henceroth, Miller, Ball, Hoffhine.

TRACK III HE 1932 track team was highly successful, as is shown by its record of victories III in three meets, with but one loss. The first meet of the season, with West High, found the Lions strong in many events but lacking balance in others, with the result that the Cowboys won 74 to 53. In a triangular meet with North and Granville, the Smithmen won easily by a score of 60 to 44 1 3 for North and 12 2 3 for Granville. The Bexley boys next captured first place honors in the Central Buckeye meet for the second successive year. They scored 46( 4 points, Delaware 4H 2, Circleville 37,Marysville 25, Westerville 9, and Grandview 6 4. At the annual Little Three track classic, Bexley again won the title, chalking up O 2 points to Grandview's 26 and Arlington's 371 2« Members of this year's team Include: 100 yard dash.................

HE five senior girls above were awarded the coveted B at the regular monthly meeting of the Girls' Athletic Club. letters in January The letters were given on the basis of sportsmanship, service to the club, and participation in athletics. The requirement in points was 350, obtained as follows: twenty points for class first teams in soccer, basketball, volley ball, and baseball, and ten points for second teams. Three points per game were earned in the intramural tournaments in any sport. Ten points were given for two consecutive A's in posture and in physical educa- tion. Twenty points were given for the winners in the tennis and deck-tennis tourna- ments and ten points for the runner-up. Fifty points a year could be obtained for hiking, swimming, skating, bicycling, riding, and golfing. Other senior girls who received letters at the spring banquet in May were: Virginia Cohagan, Mary K. Dingledine, Virginia Reeves, and Gertrude Schiefer. The senior cup, awarded to the senior girl who was most outstanding in athletics, was voted at this banquet to Betty Kurtzhalz. CLASS of 19 32 THE TCECH CLASS PROPHECY (Continued from page 24) Virgil Fogle is an equally important member of the New York Stock Exchange, Jane said. He has an orchestra seat and handles Dan Ball's business. What is Dan doing? we queried as one. Making bonnets, was the reply. Loretta Wolfe is his secretary, and Priscilla McKahan manages his smart new shop in Paris. Speaking of Paris, Betty came in, Mildred Hughes is our new Ambassador to France. She likes it immensely, and meets Doris Goldman quite frequently. Doris, you know, is bacteriologist for a famous French medical institute. What, Jane inquired, has become of Louis Benua? He's racing, Paul told her. Boats. He's broken all speed records, so far. Robert Coe made millions on the market, and is backing him. I stopped off at Columbus to see Jean Boerger, Betty said. She owns the smartest dine-and-dance place in town. It's a dream. Bob Morrison runs the stage show, and has turned down bids from Broadway. Thelma Page is right next door with an exquisite shop where she sells imported goods exclusively. Perfumes are her specialty, and she has Anne Sansone, Ruth Silberstein, and Harriet Richardson buy- ing for her abroad. Berdena Ault and Gertrude Schiefer are in her Chicago salon. Leland Roy seems to be getting along famously as a real estate operator, Frieda told us. He's buying a fast air yacht, and plans a trip around the world in it. John Brownewell, who is at the head of a brick and tile plant at Columbus, might go with him. Would you believe it? Maxine interjected. James Brooke is teaching psy- chology at Columbia, and Jim Edmister is an interne at Walter Reed Hospital. Lewis Cohen is a lawyer, too, and has a modernistic office on top of a skyscraper. William Schiefer and Ned Turner free-lanced it for awhile, Eleanor told us, but both struck oil out West and are immensely wealthy. And Fay Williams has opened the most positively entrancing kindergarten in Columbus. Her work has her enchanted! From the orchestra drifted the stirring melodies of Danubian Fantasy , an overture Helene composed especially for the picture, and the muffled whispers of the audience dropped into nothingness. We left the balcony and went to our seats. To my house, I called, afterward. You haven't told me a thing about yourself, Jane protested as we stepped into my box. Do! There's nothing to tell, I protested. The curtain slid upward. Just tell me how you like the settings, I said. I designed them. —JACK RHEAD.
