THE TORCH A REVIEW OF THE ATHLETIC SEASON By Coach Smith THLETICS at Bexley High have been more successful this year than any year since 1926-27, when that collection of athletes made a most enviable record. 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

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.

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. CLASS of 19 3 2
