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.

-..— — -• Z5orcl) •-------------------------------------— THE CLASS HISTORY STUDENT DAYS are happy days, and ours have been no exception. 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
