 THE ORCH' CLASS PROPHECY Scene: Living Room of the Pee ins. Time : Evening, May 19, 1945. The Bexleyonites return home from a dinner engagement at the Bexley tea room. Mr. P.—Meeting Jack and Mary Hoffhine for dinner certainly brought back memories of the old class of ’33. Mrs. P.—I didn’t know until tonight that Anna Peters and Marjorie Wolfe were operating the tea room. They are making a grand success of it. Mr. P.—Weren’t you surprised to learn that George Petzinger is head surgeon at Grand Hospital and Elloise Barnett and Clara Brenning, assisting nurses? Mrs. P—Dorothy Fenner and her husband, Mr. Morris, are taking over the Tavernel this summer. We must go over for dinner. They’ve been fortunte enough to get Bill Boehm, the Ole Maestro, and his orchestra. Mr. P.—I hear Ernest Tungate and Bill Hirtler have been in his band for over a year. Mrs. P.—Bill married Dorothy Hand, who has recently been making phono- graph records of her whistling. “Ernie” is going quite a bit with Bertha Madory, the prominent society woman. Mr. P.—I was out riding at the Barracks today, and whom did I see but Major Lumbert and his wife, Elizabeth Houstle. Mrs. P.—Elizabeth surely has turned out some beautiful paintings since she has been married. Mr. P.—Mary Emmert was riding out there too—with Mr. Coe. Mrs. P.—By the way I stopped in Marie Heurich’s and Kathryn Lauffer’s Book Shop today to get Martha Sheridan’s new novel, Adventures with the Nincompoops of Nebuchadnezzer. They have a few copies of that very successful Travels Be- tween Norfolk and Charleston” by Leavitt Stone. Mr. P.—Speaking of books, Audre Manly and Irene Vince are going to be li- brarians at the the new Bexley Library. Mrs. P.— (picking up newspaper, which, by the way, is edited by the Bohren- Bowland syndicate)—Listen to this— Wilburn Crutcher's Hoss Wins Big Derby. Well, I see he finally went South again. (They turn to society page.) Mr. P.—Why, look! There are Virginia Johnson and Marjorie Miller, who are sailing for China next week to carry on some mission work. They will go on Arthur Helm’s newest liner. Mrs. P.—In all probability they will see Anna Lee, who is teaching in Hong- kong University. Mr. P,- This announcement of Mary Souder’s marriage to Lord Snitchpenny says they will live in London. She seems to have given up her career to live in Merrie Olde Englande. Mrs. P.—I like this page much better since Lillie Cohen has been society editor, and Helen Daeumler’s column has taken the place of Betty Carefax’s. Page Twenty-six

 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.

Mr. P- I forgot to tell you that 1 stopped at the Haught Architects’ offices today and talked to the secretaries, Verne Galle and Agatha Williams. Paul had just left for Bexley High School to discuss plans for the new stadium. It seems Helen Cook’s bid was accepted ’for the interior decorating.

His fish instincts are showing up. (Continued on Page 44)
