Ah! yesternight I saiv the sun Sink blameless down the vaidted gray— The ghastly ghost of Yesterday. So little done: so much to do! Each morning breaks on conflicts new; But eager, brave, I’ll join the fray, And fight the battle of Today. So much to do: so little done! But when it’s o’er—the victory won— Oh! then, my sold, this strife and sorrow Will end in that great, glad Tomorroiv. —James Roberts Gilmore.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY FOURTEEN members of the senior class of 1934 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 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 character. The members are selected from the upper third of their class in scholar- ship, and each year, fifteen per cent of the senior class may be admitted. The students on the Senior Honor Roll are the fifteen who received an average of A or above in their four years of high school work.

As they are fast drawing to a close, recollections of all the convivial pastimes, the pleasant experiences, and delightful friendships, which filled these four years to the brim, come back to us in surprisingly great numbers. Our class has won many laurels in scholarship: we rated the highest in the Intelligence Tests; fifteen of us made the Senior Honor Roll; and fourteen gained membership on the National Honor Society. Considering the size of this year's group, that was quite an achievement. The Student Council was again revived, with the seniors Sam Caldwell and John Stark as principal officers. Along with it came the All-School Dances, which were the jolliest affairs of the year and the result of the active interest shown by the Student Council in the students' pleasure- activities. We were also deeply indebted to the various clubs which participated. A large number of our class were members of the Hi-Y Club; and Jim Morgan, a senior, was president this past year. They delved into the annJual temporary resort to lunacy with fervor, whisk- brooms, and shoes that were ill-mated. Their HhY Frolic was a great source of enjoyment. The presidents of the Girls' Athletic and the Girl Reserves' Clubs this year were both seniors. Their presidents were Virginia Furniss and Mary Ellen Brightman, respectively. The G. R. C. was unusually active, with the gala Big Sister party, the Jolly Jamboree, the Washington's Birthday dance, and the annual Coed Prom topping the list of its activities. The Garden of the Shah, the musical comedy operetta which scored such a hit this year, was surmounted by a commendable cast of seniors, all of whom carried off honors. Jane Davis, Ted Jones, Ann Altmaier, and Walter Murphy had stellar roles; and were ably supported by Ralph Brown, Harriet Johnson, and the two lower classmen, Billy MacDonald and Lloyd Riley. Ted Jones and John Dunnick carried minor roles in last year's The Belle of Barcelona. Hash, the highly amusing skit presented in chapel by senior members of the TORCH staff, deserves some recognition here, for it showed not only remarkable ability on the part of the performers, but also the fine determined spirit that our hitherto flourishing and excellent paper should not be discontinued for financial reasons. We are partly indebted to them for having retained the TORCH this year. And oh, yes, the Junior-Senior dance must not be forgotten. It is always great fun, and was such in a high degree this spring. The memory of it can well endear our school to us. The Homecoming game with Upper Arlington was presided over by Mary Downey, the queen, and her court attendants, Virginia Schorr and Anne Bonnet. Bexley's football fame was upheld by our gridmen when they tied for us in the Central Buckeye League Championship. As a whole, they showed remarkable fighting spirit throughout the numerous battles staged last season. The Bexley gridders, topped by Captain Bob Beggs, were greatly responsible for our winning the undisputed championship in the C. B. L. the previous year. Bob Magnuson captained the basketball team, whose outstanding players included Beggs, Stark, Calwell, and Jim Bone. Prominent in track were Stark, Walter Murphy, Dienst, Bone, Beggs, and Magnuson. The latter two scored in baseball likewise. Ben Gardner, Stark, and Beggs led the natatorial movements. Our achievements in sports lay for the most part this year in the efforts expended on the gridiron. These memories will strike us warmly, always; and they will entirely eclipse any of those less pleasant. The true significance of high school life is just now beginning to be opened to our eyes, and it will gradually grow upon us when we have begun to apply our acquired knowledge and skill to the world's work. No, our student days will not soon be forgotten. MARY CAMPE. Pacte Twenty-three =• ' ■ 15orcl) • = CLASS PROPHECY Editor’s Note: The following is a clipping from the June 15, 1949, issue of the Columbus “Dispatch-Examiner.” ONE of the most enjoyable entertainments of the year was presented in the huge new civic auditorium in commemoration of the fifteenth anniversary of the Bexley High class of '34. Tho chairman of the committee on arrangements was Robert Kloss, of the local Chamber of Commerce. His gracious and charming wife, whom we remember as Mary Anne Nixon, was in charge of publicity for the affair. She was assisted by two of the city's most prominent young matrons, known to us as Betty Johnston and Jane Daeumler. The husbands of both of these busy women are abroad, Robert Dienst on an engineering project in Capetown, Africa, and Bud Evans on a diplomatic mission in France. The list of patrons and patronesses for the entertainment reads like a page from Who's Who. There were, our own Ted Jones, now head of a nation-wide theater chain, and his wife, the former Miss Marjorie Betz, who, before her marriage, was the society editor of the Columbus Dispatch- Examiner. Ruth Ebert is in charge of bookings for the entire chain of Jones Theaters. Other familiar names on the patrons' list were those of Betty Kronenbitter, who owns and operates a group of exclusive women's apparel shops in the East and the Middle West; and Drs. Ralph E. Brown, Jr., and John N. Burkey, who are chiefs of staff at the New Municipal Hospital. By the way, Virginia Cooper is chief dietician, and Anne Gregory supervisor of nurses at the same institution. Included in the same list were the names of Sam Caldwell, now president of The First National Bank, and Robert Bradshaw, one of the foremost corporation lawyers in the state. The guest of honor for the evening was Governor James Bone, who opened the program with a short address, in which he reviewed the history of Bexley, giving due honor to the present mayor, Richard Brunner, and his predecessor, John Dunnick, now a member of the U. S. Senate. The class of '34 was well represented among the entertainers of the evening. Ann Altmaier, a soprano with the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York, sang a song composed for the occasion by Janice Sims, popular song writer. Harriet Johnson, Broadway star, was another of the visiting artists. She was accompanied by Jane Davis, her booking and press agent. Fred Moyer, solo clarinetist with the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, accompanied by Mar- jorie Whipple, played one of his own compositions, dedicated to Anne Bonnet, stage and screen actress, who was also on the program. There were present a group of Bexley men who have made names for themselves in various fields, who contributed personal reminiscences and anecdotes to the evening's entertainment. These included Bill Hoffman, golfer and this year's winner of the British Open Championship: Frank Huling, research chemist with the Elmer Minch Laboratories, leading manufacturers of pharmaceutic preparations; John Stark, athletic coach at Notre Dame; and Robert Beggs, coach at Leland Stanford University. The program closed with a style show, featuring the creations of Mary Downey, which were modeled by Virginia Schorr, Kathryn Wilson, Margaret Benedict, and Emily Wheaton, from Miss Downey's establishment. The elaborate settings for the entertainment of the evening were designed by the firm of Wallick and Murphy, commercial artists. After the entertainment, an Alumni Anniversary Ball was held at the Carlton Club, at the invitation of Colabrese and Tackman, owners. Page Twenty-four • Z3orcl) • CLASS PROPHECY Elaborate floral decorations were furnished by the firm of Campe and Coffman, Inc. Cullman s Californians, in town for the occasion, provided music for the dancing, with Dick Kuenning as vocalist. Specialty numbers with the orchestra were supplied by Martha Curran, tap dancer, and Janet Lucas, torch singer. Seen at the ball were Mary Elizabeth Keys, prominent portrait artist; Fritz Lichtenberg, pres- ident of the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company; Mary Ellen Brightman, head of the Pre-School Department of the city; and Richard Donaldson, owner of the Donaldson Baking Company. Others back for the class anniversary party were Ruth Miller, Miriam Levinson, and Mildred Rosenberg, who together operate a group of popular tea rooms throughout the state; and Ben Gardner and his partner, Arnold Gardner, of the law firm of Gardner, Gardner, and Bayley. The third member of the firm, Bill Bayley, was not able to attend, because of official business in Washington. By the way, Georgia Wheeler, Edna McCracken, and Virginia Perry are secretaries in the offices of this firm. Jack Downing, the compiler of the new Standard Dictionary, was noticed chatting with Marvin Pheister and Robert Schwartz of the real estate firm bearing their names. Harold Kreach- baum and Floyd Blackstone, architects, were talking business in the midst of the gayety; while Bob •Rosel, manager of the Ohio Art Metal Co., and Alan Woolman, in charge of the City Dental Clinic, were renewing their high school friendship in another corner. William Young, Dean of Education at Ohio State University, had found a fellow educator in the person of Rusla Tichane, instructor of French at the Washington Seminary; and they spent most of the evening dancing and talking together. Mary Bond Stone, author of Henry of Navarre , which was a long-run production on the legitimate stage of last season, and Robert Magnuson, •dramatic critic for the New York Times, were busily discussing the probability of producing Blue Heaven , with James Morgan in the lead. Lewis Ealy and Virginia Furniss, winners of the National Doubles Championship at Wimbledon, were very much the center of attention for the short time they were present. Justice Joseph Kerr, of the United States Supreme Court, and his secretary, Anita Reuter, came in with a Jate party, which included James McClure and George Rietz, associated with the General Motors Corporation; Robert Muir and Clarence Slawson, vice-president and general manager of the White Star Steamship Line; and Harry Shufflebarger, just returned from furthering his studies in medicine at Vienna. There were several of the old class that could not be present for the reunion but sent their •regrets. They were Manuel Tarshish, celebrated criminologist, now on a world cruise, and Norman •Kuehner, employed by the Russian government as a civil engineer. Philip Sansone, motion picture magnate, was unable to leave his studio in Hollywood; while a speaking engagement prevented Eugene Parker, pastor of the Little Church Around the Corner, from attending the anniversary celebration. Wilma Vetek and Freda Charles, both buyers for a large department store in Cleveland, are at present on their semi-annual trip to Paris, and hoped to be back in time, but could not make it. Martha Brundige and Edna Bradbury, correspondents for the Associated Press, were quiet observers of the party, and responsible for this account.

Smith T HE LIONS of 1933-1934 have made a better average showing in all sports than in the past few years. They tied for the C. B. L. football championship and won the track championship which signifies leaders in two of the three major sports. In basketball a fourth place in the league was all that could be accomplished. The baseball team is better than recent Bexley teams and should have a nice rating at the end of the season. The swimming was again strong, in fact, so strong, that there were no contenders for the C. B. L. championship. The tennis and golf teams were only average. The football team was defeated by only Zanesville and Grandview; winning 6, losing 2, and tying North, which is a great feat for a Bexley eleven, incidentally, the first Bexley team to do it. The basketball team won five and lost four in league competition, and won seven and lost nine against all opposition. This is a better basketball average than in the last two years. The basketball team made a creditable showing in the District Tournament. The track team spilled North 85-25, trounced South 74-51, and won the Central Buckeye with 55! 2 points with Delaware nearest with 44l 2. As this goes to press it looks as though a good showing should be made in the District Meet, and Arlington should be defeated, which will make an undefeated season for the track team. The baseball team has won three out of five and should end the season with a 600 or 700 percentage. The swimming team lost two very close meets but started too late to have a very good season. The golf team has won two, lost two, and tied one, but will finish season below 500 percentage. Page Thirty-four • Z3orcl) • FOOTBALL TV GAIN the championship flag of Blue and White proudly waved from the top of the Central Buckeye League pennant pole, although this year it shared its exalted position with the colors of the Westerville team. During the season the Lions and Westerville each won four games and lost one. Grandview, the runner-up, won three, lost one, and tied one. Bexley beat Westerville, Westerville beat Grand- view, and Grandview beat Bexley. In the Little Three, the Lions took second place. Grandview took first, and Upper Arlington, last. The Lions started the gridiron schedule before the opening of school with a 25 to 0 win over Mt. Sterling. The greatest upset of the entire season was the sensational scoreless tie with North, a brilliant moral victory for Bexley. The famous Blue Devils of Zanesville Lash scored three touchdowns on the Lions, I 8 to 0. Circlevilie was overwhelmed by the score of 34 to 0. A flashy forward pass play in the final quarter netted a I 2 to 7 victory over Westerville. Marysville was nosed out 7 to 6 in a hard fought game. Evans' plunge for extra point decided the victory. The fighting Bobcats of Grandview administered the lone C. B. L. defeat to Bexley, I 3 to 0. The Blue and White out-battled the heavy Delaware Senators, 7 to 0; and a homecoming victory over the Upper Arlington Golden Bears, 6-0, climaxed a highly successful season for Bexley. During the 1933 football season, the Bexley Lions scored 91 points to their op- ponents' 44. The scoring aces for the Blue and White were as follows: Evans, high point man with a 39 total; Dienst, second with 18; Hoffman and Hutchins tied for third with 13; Magnuson, fourth with 6; and Caldwell, 2. Out of the 13 touchdowns scored, 4 were completed by passes and 9 were pushed over. Of the 7 points after touchdowns, 5 were plunging scores and 2 were passes. Bexley 25 Mt.

BASKETBALL THE LION basketeers had their ups and downs in the 1933-34 campaign. After winning the first game and losing four straight, they hit their stride at the open- ing of the Central Buckeye League season by defeating the fighting Bobcats of Grandview 18 to 16. In the first half of the C. B. L. season they won three and lost two. The loss of Captain Bob Magnuson and Jim Morgan at the beginning of the second semester, was a severe blow. The rebuilt team won two and lost three of the remaining C. B. L. games. Altogether, including the District Tournament the Lions won 9 and lost I I. The three high spots in an otherwise rather drab season were three notable victories: the close win over Grandview early in the season, the decisive victory over Upper Arlington by the score of 26 to 21 and the glorious triumph of 20 to 12 over the powerful Aquinas team in the District Tournament. Along with the other teams of the C. B. L., Bexley has resolved not to participate in Class A District competition until a more equitable classification has been made. Bexley, 2 I; Hilliards, I 2.

TRACK JjNCE AGAIN the fleet field and track men under the colors of the Blue and White brought a Central Buckeye League championship home to their proud' Alma Mater. This is the fourth championship in five years for Bexley, as last year Delaware assumed the leadership, with the Lions running second. In the official C. B. L. championship track and field meet at Otterbein field, Westerville, the Lions accumulated 55l 2 points. Delaware, last year's defending champs, who had been doped to repeat their victory, took second with 43l 4 points. Circlevilie ran third with 26%. Westerville, also rated a strong contender, was fourth with 23% points; Marysville and Grandview also ran with 13 and 3 points respectively. At this meet, John Stark established a new C. B. L. record in the shot put at 41 feet 9% inches, beating the old record by 5% inches. In the relay, Bexley's team of Hutchins, Beggs, Stark, and Murphy tied the league record made by Bexley in 1932, at 1:37.8. The Lions also won two dual meets upsetting North in a thrilling surprise victory by a score of 85 to 23 and taking a well run win from South, 74 to 51. • 'Sb orcl)« First Row, left to right: Bone, Startzman, Beggs, Myers, Emig.

Of last year's team, two lettermen, Emig and Startzman, remained. By heroic work, Coach Smith succeeded in forging raw material into a baseball machine which performed more creditably than had been anticipated. The lid lifter with Reynoldsburg was a hard fought 6-5 victory. The 8 to 7 win over London was sweet revenge over last year's defeat. A defeat at the hands of Lancaster, I I to 20, was followed by the customary win over Canal Winchester with a 10 to 4 tally. The second loss of the season was to Groveport, score 4 to 9.

GIRLS' ATHLETIC CLUB THE Girls' Athletic Club awarded letters to the above girls on the basis of service ■ to the club, outstanding athletic ability, and true sportsmanship. The requirement for eligibility is 500 points. Lower classmen who also received letters are Esther Dean, Betty Marsh and Dorothy Callahan. Miss Izora Scott replaced Miss H. Marguerite Lintner in February as physical education director. During the year, the organization purchased mat covers to be used for tumbling. Bexley again sponsored a Sports Day for the girls of Grandview and Upper Arlington; and Arlington, in return, held a Play Day, of various sports in May. There was a Varsity-Alumnae basketball game in March and a Varsity-Alumnae volleyball game in May. The senior trophy, which is awarded to the senior girl in the G. A. C. voted the most outstanding in athletics, character, scholarship, service and sportsmanship, was given to Edna McCracken. In the past three years Freda Klingbeil, Betty Kurtzhalz, and Verna Galle received this award. The G. A.
