 4 “THE 'XBoRCH' ► CLASS HISTORY t“7T ' HE history of the class of 1933 reveals several unusual “firsts” among its fea- I £“ tures. Ours was the first class to complete the junior grade in the Cassing- ham Junior High School and the first class to graduate from the new Bexley High School. The girls of this class were the first to wear uniform dress throughout the four years. As a class we have been prominent in scholarship, for six of us were members of the Honor Club in our first high school year, and in cur last year sixteen were elected to the National Honor Society. Members of our class have had leading parts in two of the four operettas given during our high school career. Donna Gitlin, Millicent Tracy, and David Miller played important roles in “The Toreadors” and also in the operetta this year. In “The Belle of Barcelona,” Ruth Palmer, Lorenzo Lamberson, and Mary Souder were additional talented singers and players. The best event of the Girl Reserve year is the Coed Prom. Oh, the fun and work in trying to achieve the cleverest costume! Virginia Edwards was the president in the senior year. Many of the boys of our class were members of the Hi-Y organization, and dur- ing our last year David Miller was president. Remember the boys gayly bedecked in hair ribbons and bow ties? The president of the Girls’ Athletic Club was a senior, Iva Bryant; and with the tournaments, skating parties, and weiner roasts, the club had a happy year. Bexley became a temporary Hollywood, and work “stood by” for a moving pic- ture of the Bexley schools. There were sound effects, too, when Sally Sackett, and Millicent Tracy stood back of the microphone and followed the lines previously acted out in play rehearsal when the scenes were “shot.” And don’t forget the fun we had when we entertained the seniors at our Junior- Senior dance in the spring of the third year. At the homecoming game with Grandview in our senior year, Frances Brunner reigned as queen, and Jeanne Bonnet and Ruth Palmer acted as her attendants. Since their freshman year “Dare Stark and Dick Christian were outstanding in every sport, and it was they who started us on the road to football, basketball, and track fame. In addition to these two, three others, Gregg Lumbert, Charles Bright, and Bob Patton proudly displayed their football letters in our sopohomore year, and since then many more have received theirs in this sport and in others. Stanley Henceroth, Jack Hoffhine, and Dick Tudor were prominent in track, and Melvin Engle and Bob Glick saw action on the baseball team. In the junior year our boys were greatly responsible for winning the Central Buckeye League track championship; and the next season Dick Christian, as captain, led the football team to victory and the winning of the same title for the gridiron. Dare” Stark captained the basketball team. Baker Bryant brought fame to Bexley by establishing a world’s swimming record, and acquired many points for Bexley. Shadows have fallen across the light along our pathway, for we have lost two of our classmates, William Schneider, in our junior year, and Medary Stark, in our last year. Both losses came as a shock to the school, and our class has greatly missed the boys. As we leave the school, whether it be to join the college ranks or the ranks of life, we begin to realize what these four years of joy and sadness have meant to us. The pleasant times we have had and the fine friendships we have formed in this chapter of our experience will always remain happy memories when we are achiev- ing success and happiness in later life.
