Superintendent of Bexley Schools As Mr. Fawcett’s third year with the Bexley schools draws to a close, the faculty and students learn with pleasure of his acceptance of a new five year con- tract with the Board of F.ducation. Since Mr. Fawcett assumed his post, manv changes and improvements in school affairs have been instigated. Mr. Fawcett’s article in the American School Board Journal on the school building program has attracted widespread attention in schools all over the country. Thanks to the superintendent’s efforts a complete testing program has been started in the high school and elementary grades, and an intensive health program has been put into operation. A teacher’s sick leave plan has been worked out and a radical curricu- lum change was made this past year. The Bexleo staff feels sure that Mr. Fawcett’s leadership, which has inspired confidence in the past, will continue to do so in the future. Page Seven RUSSELL E. KESSLER, A.B., M.A., L.L.B. Principal of Bexley High School As a result of numerous conferences with the faculty, Mr. Kessler has developed many new policies and changes in curriculum for the high school, among which are the mathematics and English special courses offered to seniors who have a need of corrective work in grammar, spelling, writing, and mathematical subjects. Students are now given more opportunity to study during the school day, and they have more freedom in the selection of a program of studies. They are now able to study art and home economics as major subjects. As general goals for the future Mr. Kessler feels that the school should help students increase their ability to think rationally and to express clearly their thoughts; to achieve a better understanding of the methods of science and the influence of science on human life; and to understand their obligations as members of the community and the nation. Page FAghl FACULTY they plant the seeds of wisdom Page Nine Miss Lucille M. Selbach, B.A., B. Sc. in Ed. English, Special English English and Speech Department Believing that precision in the use of the language is one of the requisites for an education, the department places great stress, throughout the four years, on the mechanics of correct written and spoken English. Literature, both classic and contemporary, is taught to acquaint the student with the best that has been thought and said in the past and present, hence helping him grow in wisdom. The elective course of journalism is open to juniors and seniors. This course is designed primarily to train students in news-gathering, writing, and editing in preparation for positions on the staff of the Torch. A one-semester course in dramatics is offered to juniors and seniors. The course develops knowledge of acting, stage-balance, costuming, lighting, and make-up. Creative writing is en- couraged for those who are interested in developing their talents in this art. Public speaking, offered as a half-year course, is designed to prepare students for all types of speaking and to increase their confidence when before groups of people. Guidance Helping students decide on what courses they want to take, advising about colleges, inter- viewing parents, aiding in the students’ adaptions to school life—these and many others are the jobs of Miss Marian Thomas, Dean of Girls, and H. V. Tipton. The advisors organize the students’ courses to fit their capabilities and interests, so that if they are working toward a particular vocation, they may begin training in that direction as soon as possible. They interview the students themselves about schedules, colleges, their school work, and adjusting their personalities. Sometimes a change of course is indicated for a student, and for this reason a flexible pro- gram has been set up for the high school. To these teachers, guidance means helping people, not only with their educational problems, but also with their personality problems. Not all of these problems can be solved in one interview; often several conferences are needed. Miss Marion Thomas, B. Sc. in Ed., B.

Sc. in Ed., M.A. Typing, Shorthand Mechanical Drawing, Industrial Arts, General Shop Commercial Arts Department The commercial arts department has been or- ganized to meet the needs of the students who may not plan to go on with their education after their graduation from high school. The aim of this department is the procurement of positions in business (or places in industry) which have opportunities for growth, development, advancement. In order to attain this objective, instruction is given in business training, economic geography, bookkeeping, typing, shorthand and transcription, simple carpentry, cabinet making, drawing and planning, and in working with metals. One of the outstanding advantages of the organization at Bexley is the fact that all juniors and seniors may elect a year of typing—a valuable aid in college. In addition the department has also made it possible for any student in the high school to use its facilities either in the shops or the typing rooms. Both sections of these departments may be called on at any time to help out the school; both turn out excellent work. Foreign Language Department Courses in Latin (four years), French (two years), and Spanish (two years) are offered to all students in the high school. Their purpose is not only to acquaint the student with the culture of the countries concerned, but also to give him a working knowledge of the language, both written and spoken. The first year study of Latin is devoted to grammar and fundamentals necessary as a founda- tion for further work in the subject. The second year students read Caesar’s campaigns in addi- tion to increasing their study of grammar. Cicero’s orations and a little of his philosophical writing are read the third year. The final year Virgil’s Aneid and some of the poets of the Golden Age are studied. In the two years of French the department is trying to give the pupils the ability to read and enjoy ordinary French and to understand it when spoken in simple terms. The development of oral expression in the language, within the limit of the student's vocabulary, is also encouraged. It is believed that the unique position of French in the diplomatic and musical fields makes it ex- tremely profitable to have a working knowledge of the language. The purpose of the two-year Spanish course is to give the student a practical acquaintance with the peoples of South and Central America and Mexico, and to enable him to have a comprehensive knowledge and reading ability. The knowledge of our neighbors to the south is enlarged by special classroom reports. By learning the modern languages of French and Spanish and by acquiring a foundation in Latin the pupil grows in knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of literature and helps himself achieve a closer unitv with his neighbors the world over.

General Science, Chemistry Science Department Four subjects are offered in the curriculum of Bexley high school’s science department. These subjects are general science, biology, chemistry, and physics. The science department tends to teach the student how to understand and work scientific problems out for himself. The emphasis is thus placed on the individual, who is given sufficient opportunity through work in laboratory experiments to learn through his own designs. The aims of the scientific studies program are to help the student understand and interpret his environment, and to aid him to learn to think logically for himself. Mathematics Department The mathematics department offers four courses to the Bexley student: general mathematics, algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry. Eighth grade pupils are advised to take the general mathematics course, if it is thought that they will have difficulty with algebra. The course is designed to enable students to go on to algebra and plane geometry. Algebra is essentially a tool subject in which an attempt is made to acquire skills needed in future study of mathematics. The second year course prepares students for college mathematics. In the study of plane and solid geometry', attention is called to a further appreciation of geometric forms found in nature. For those who intend to go on in mathematics, it is also a tool subject, but for all it gives practice in logical thinking. It is hoped that there may be some carry-over to life situations. Teaching the relationship of sides and angles of triangles, trigonometry gives students further practice in logical thinking and also gives them a head start in college mathematics. Charles L.

Tipton, B.Sc. in Ed., M.A. Government, Sociology, Economics, Guidance Social Studies This year a series of five social studies was available in the high school. World history and American history were offered as full year courses and American government, sociology and economics, as one semester subjects. History is a list of man’s achievements and failures; hence the study of history has three objectives: a knowledge of the most important events of history, the ability to connect these events and effects, and the translation of the ideas thus gained into life practices. World history students prepare theses on any topic they wish at the close of the year. American history is a required subject for graduation, since the faculty feels that a knowl- edge of our country and its background and the men who helped in its formation is paramount to every American citizen. The other three courses are carried on with as little formality as possible. The department feels that the smaller the classes the better, so far as work output is concerned. The department is trying to teach pupils to think about social problems for themselves and to get the students to read and form their own opinions and hence become more thoughtful and more attentive citizens. This increased knowledge of the world of our ancestors and the world of today helps us to grow in stature and in our sense of responsibility. Physical Education Aims and objectives of the physical and health education programs fall into a well-defined pattern. The department believes that presenting activities that lead to the acquirement of skills useful for recreational ends in adult life is of paramount importance. The physical education program has two other important objects: to give all pupils vigorous muscular activity of a type that develops physical and mental health and is inherently interesting to the group, and to select types of activity which will build within the individual a disposition to strive for high social ideals. The health education program stresses two ideas: to give health instruction based upon scientific materials and directed toward personal accomplishment and social ideals, and a program of physical examinations by the school doctor and nurse for every student every two years, and every year for those participating in interscholastic and intermural activities. Thus, a well-balanced program of education in physical and mental health helps the pupil to grow in the knowledge of how to get along with his fellow student in everyday life. H. Eugene Mechling.

The art depart- ment has on its list for future improvements, smaller classes, the use of printing equipment, the possible inclusion of a course in the history of art, and the division of art classes into groups such as cartooning or oils. The department aims to teach underclassmen the primary principles and upperclassmen more advanced work. The high school instrumental program is featured by a 95-piece band which is regarded as one of the best in the state. The retiring conductor, Mr. Jordan, has tried to instill a professional standard of achievement in order to make musical education truly worthwhile and also to make it a dignified and necessary part of school life. That every student who can carry a tune should have the opportunity to sing in a chorus if he wishes is the opinion of the vocal music department. The choruses will be largely elective groups while the choir will be highly selective. A greater study of the fine arts and a more active part in them helps students grow' not only in knowledge but also in a genuine appreciation of artistic endeavor. Office and Library Staff To furnish a literary background and to serve as a source of reference material for the stu- dents, our school library has adopted modern methods of organization. Constantly new' books and magazines are being added to keep the volumes practical and up to date. The library has both fact and fictional material and has maintained its high standard of quality and efficient service throughout the year. Behind the scenes of formal school procedure is the staff of the superintendent's and prin- cipal's offices. These young women must keep track of the ever-changing students’ schedules; they must mimeograph tests for the twenty-odd teachers, type stencils, act as secretaries to the superintendent and principal, and answer a raft of questions from both faculty and students. It is thanks to their patient understanding of students’ problems that school life passes smoothly and that the various school functions are carried out efficiently.

From Toledo Scott High School, Toledo, Ohio 4. Of the Class of ’46 They close the doors behind us On the darkened Senior Hall; Of thousands who have gone before. We’re another class, that’s all. Yet in the hearts of us who leave Are memories to last— Of incidents that happened In the four short years gone past. What can we begin to tell? What can we begin to say Of things each one remembers well At the final parting of the way? Where shall we begin , Our Freshman year of ’42? Being fearful, shy, but eager. Or loving Bexley’s royal blue? Each game we ever lost or won, Our band, or high school dances? Treading up the stairs to class Or fond childhood romances, What friends and teachers meant, The struggle to learn—tho not in vain. The old school clock across the way The spring, the fall, the rain. Jalopies, fads, and funny moments; The bee-line after school to Wentz. The Senior play and school spirit Or doing things not making sense. All these times add memories To our one last lingering look And add but one more chapter To “Life,” our uncompleted book. For we’ll owe a lot to high school In the years which come, and then Each one, I know, will sigh and say, “Sure, I remember when—” For no days are ever carefree As the years that lie behind, Or will be cherished more by you and me, As we shall later find. So now the time has come For marching down the aisle. Don’t look back on what is past— But forward with a smile! For memory is priceless, And of all the years one picks, We’re proud to be the Seniors Of the Class of ’46. Linda Underwood—’46 Page Thirty-two N' i V W • '•-N«vVu ..wy. NY n-n . ( .

Hi-Y Club The Hi-Y Club enjoyed another highly successful year under the leadership of its competent president. Jack Thornbury. He was ably assisted by Jack Lewis, who served as vice-president and program chairman. The meetings were highlighted by various speakers and movies that were presented. Again, as in the last six out of seven years, the basketball team sponsored by the club cap- tured the city championship. The Hi-Y donated to the school a loudspeaker system for the auditorium. The amplifier is complete with record player and is one of the best systems for school use. In accordance with its usual policy, the club again added to the enjoyment of spectators at football games with its programs containing the names and numbers of each player. The Hi-Y Club has been marked throughout the years as one of the most wide-awake clubs of the school and has added even more to its enviable record.

Girl Reserve Club “To find and give the best” is the purpose and aim of all the Girl Reserve members led by president Marjorie Wheeler, vice-president Priscilla Smith, secretary Betty Meyer, and treasurer Mary Alice Riggs. Club activities this year began with a heaven rushing party where each of the girls donned a costume of what she would like to be when she entered those “Pearly Gates.” G. R. was in charge of the Morning Watch Services, which were held each morning before school, and the inspiring Easter chapel. Included in the service projects were an old clothing campaign, participation in the Easter Lily Parade for crippled children, making favors at Christmas time and Valentine Day for Fletcher Hospital, Franklin County Children’s Home, and Hannah Neil Mission, reading to the Blind School children, and sewing for the Red Cross. In addition to these services, some of the members completed projects of their own and thereby received the Girl Reserve ring certificate from headquarters. The climax of the year was the traditional farewell banquet given in honor of all the seniors. Page Forty-three .

Girls’ Athletic Club The 1945-46 Girls’ Athletic Club has been very active. Striving to create a spirit of coopera- tiveness and good sportsmanship among its members, it has organized many interscholastic games in competitive sports. The hockey, basketball, and girls’ tennis teams played Arlington, Grandview, University School, and the Columbus School for Girls. The G.A.C. also sponsored a tournament among the class basketball teams. Besides the activities of these picked teams, there has been volunteer participation in after school basketball and badminton. Officers for the year include Dorothy Held, president: Marjorie Willcox, vice-president; Priscilla Smith, secretary: and Jodie May, treasurer.

Dramatics Club One of the most popular clubs among upper classmen is the Dramatics Club. Continually maintaining its standard of entertaining programs, this organization has grown to be one of the largest clubs in the school. The members are divided into five committees classified as program, plays, make-up, play- writing, and social. “Soldadera,” a one-act drama depicting Mexican women revolutionists, was an outstanding contribution of the Dramatics department. First presented as a class assignment, the play was repeated in chapel under the direction of Miss Bernice Mullins. “My Cousin from Sweden,” also presented before the entire student body, portrayed the confused visit of a Swedish girl to America. The officers for the 1945-46 year were Linda Underwood, president: Virginia White, vice- president; Doris Pabst, secretary; Jane Pohlman, treasurer; and Miss Mullins, faculty sponsor.

Spanish Club The Spanish Club has proved itself successful by the interesting programs presented at the meetings. Each class period maintains its own club meeting once a month. The programs present entertainment on a Spanish or South American theme either in music, speeches, or moving pictures. Once or twice a year all the Spanish clubs hold a joint meeting, planned by a committee for that purpose. The students pictured above are the officers representing each class period Spanish Club.

The membership showed an increase from 23 last year to 43 this year. Jean Waldschmidt. vice-president, acted as program chairman and planned many interesting programs, among which was a talk by a discharged French army hero, Lieutenant Carlut. The club also participated in a city-wide banquet meeting of high school French clubs. Iris Horen served as treasurer and Mary Dugger, as secretary. Yvonne Hodrus was refreshment chairman.

Latin Club Over a period of years the Latin Club of Bexley High School has sought to make the study of Latin more vivid and interesting to its members. For the devel- opment of common cultural interests the second, third, and fourth year students meet at Latin Club. The programs of the club this year have been varied and exceptionally well attended. The club has been busy this year with its movies, quiz games, and the annual Christmas program. The freshmen were invited as guests of the Latin Club during the second se- mester and became acquainted with the Latin language and customs. For the year 1945-46 Carlos Westerman served as president, Katherine Adams as vice-president, Marjorie Williams as secretary, and Joan Nida as treasurer. Science Club The Science Club, affiliated with the Science Clubs of America, an international organization, has increased greatly during its second year. The members have learned to study facts, causes, and principles, and to apply scientific principles, methods, reasoning, and logic. During the year the members have made great progress in their program of discoveries; for, as a project, the Science Club presented a chapel program with demonstrations of scientific facts and inventions contributed by the students. In many ways the Science Club answers for its members the main question— Why?’ Officers for the year included Kay Davenport, president; Bill Himmelreich, vice-president; Bonnie Phalor, secretary; John Hausman, treasurer.

Art Club The Art Club is just a newcomer to Bexley high school, this being its second year of existence. It was organized by Ralph Trivella. art director, when he first entered the teaching staff of the school. Each year the club raises funds by presenting dances and managing conces- sions at the football games. This Art Club fund will eventually buy a cup to be engraved annually with the name of the outstanding art student. Prominent Columbus art enthusiasts have given interesting and helpful talks at the club meetings. Officers for the year include: Mary Jane Simpson, president; Ann Morgan, vice-president; Ann Tate, secretary; Edith Mae Hamilton, treasurer. The enthusiasm shown by art students for the club has made it a permanent organization at Bexley high school. Page Fifty in teamwork Page Fifty-one Head Lion Tamer Coach Carlton H. Smith Our athletic teams for 1945-46 have been unusually successful, judging from the number of victories in all sports. In football and basketball we have won twenty contests while losing only four and tying two. The teams in spring sports indicate that they will be better than average; so again our boys have carried on the Bexley tradition of having winning, fighting, and hard-working teams. The football team had all the qualities of a champion except in the Delaware game, in which it was beaten by a third-place team; but the team showed its quality by beating the C. B. L. champion 13-6 and the City League co-champion 12-0. e think Bexley had the best team in greater Columbus, although we did not win the C. B. L. championship. The basketball team turned out to be one of the three best teams in Bexley history and perhaps the best. A League championship with a 10-0 record, a season's record of 14-2, and third in the District tournament is sufficient proof of the above claim. The wonderful game played in losing to Newark in the semi- finals of the District tournament 42-40 will never be fogrotten by many fans. The Reserve basketball team also was a champion with a 10-0 record in the League. The baseball team so far has lost only to Arlington and will either finish in a tie for the championship or win second place. It is doing well for a more or less rebuilt team from last year. The track team is not well balanced. It is potential District champion in many events but very weak in others; so we will have a mediocre season as a team and a championship season for four or five individuals. The tennis team is the weakest in years, but it will probably finish second in the League, which is very good considering the fact that most of last year’s team have graduated. The golf team is only average and will probably finish sixth in a league of twelve. In conclusion I would say that teams of 1945-46 have been far above the average, but not quite champions. However, they have given all they can and have played their best, which is all you can ask of any team.

Football Bexley’s gridders had a very successful season. Although the Lions did not take the CBL Championship, they had the satisfaction of ending the season with a record of six games won, one lost, and two tied. This record gave Bexley the distinction of having the best Class A eleven in Columbus and one of the best in central Ohio. As Coach Smith said at the banquet, “Grandview has the gold foot- balls, but we have the satisfaction.” Bexley did not have a big team, the starting eleven averaging only 157 pounds, but did have speed and teamwork plus those elusive musts, spirit and fight. It was this drive and determination that made this season so successful. In the opening game of the season against St. Charles, the Lions showed their power by overwhelming the Carolians 24-7. Bexley had little trouble and scored in every quarter. Taking advantage of the breaks, Bexley defeated a tough Greenfield McClain outfit in a hard fought game by a score of 13-6. Both of the winner’s scores resulted from accurately thrown passes by Carl Johnson to ends Bud Susil and Bill Petty. All the scoring was done in the first half with the last half mostly a see-saw struggle. The first CBL game was played at Grandview under the lights. Trailing 6-0 at intermission, Bexley took to the air in the second half to subdue the stubborn Bobcats by a final score of 13-6. Bexley scored on aerials tossed by Jack Lewis to Bruce Allen and Bud Susil. The Lions’ winning streak was stopped by Delaware when the Willis eleven blasted Bexley’s bid for their fourth straight victory. The unbeaten, untied, unscored on Delaware team set Bexley back to the tune of 18-2. Delaware’s power took effect in the second period, when the Panthers scored 18 points. An improved Bexley team took the field the second half and succeeded in holding the Panthers on defense but failed to score except for a safety during the fourth quarter. Bouncing back from their defeat at the hands of Delaware, the Lions fought the vaunted Golden Bears of Upper Arlington to a 0-0 tie in the crucial CBL game. The Lions showed the overflow homecoming crowd brilliant defensive football. Neither team was able to penetrate deep into its foe’s territory, and the game was mainly a defensive battle. In the last CBL fray of the season, the Bexley gridiron machine overpowered Academy 19-7. Phil Kreiger’s thirty-yard run in the opening period provided the first touchdown for Bexley. Bruce Allen added six more when he plunged through the line to pay dirt in the second quarter. The Lions’ final score came on Bill O’Donnell’s touchdown during the third frame. A strong Bexley eleven proved too much for a scrappy Mt. Vernon team, smothering the Yellow Jackets 33-6 on the loser’s field. The Lions’ first score came early in the first quarter when Bruce Allen carried the ball over after a Mt. Vernon punt had been blocked by Dave Salt. A Lewis to Susil pass late in the second quarter paid off for six more points. In the second half Bexley marched down the field for three more touchdowms by Bruce Allen, Bill O’Donnell, and Jack Lewis. The Lions really showed their championship form when they defeated East, the City Champs, by a score of 12-0. Bexley’s defense held East several times when the Tigers penetrated deep into the Lions’ territory and threatened to score. A Jack Lewis to Bud Susil pass connected for the first score in the opening period. Bexley’s other touchdown came on a freak play when Captain Neal Blacker recov- ered a Tiger fumble in mid-air and crossed the goal line standing up. Chillicothe fought Bexley to a 6-6 tie in the final game of the season. After Lewis passed to Susil for six points, the Lions were unable to hold the Cavaliers as they marched down the field for a touchdown which knotted the score. The Lions played hard and with everything they had all season. Fighting spirit made up for lack of weight. A team with spirit wins. Bexley had it this year. The starting line-up was as follows: Bill Petty and Bud Susil at ends, John Ruetty and Dave Auch at tackles, Mel Greenfield and Bill Barrett at guards, Cap- tain Neal Blacker at center, Jack Lewis at quarter. Bill O’Donnell and Phil Krieger at halves, and Bruce Allen at fullback. Others who saw considerable service were Laurin Barr, Don Cook, Dave Salt, Jim Lieser, Jim Tudor, and Norval Goss in the line, and Jeff Neal and Carl Johnson in the back field. Captain-elect Bud Susil, Neal Blacker, John Ruetty, Jack Lewis, and Phil Krieger received births on All-CBL first teams, while Bruce Allen, Mel Greenfield, Bill Petty, Bill O’Donnell, and Bill Barrett were named to second teams. Susil also received honorable mention in the state. Page Fifty-four Back row, left to right: Wayne Manners, Keith De Voe, John Wallingford, Jim Foley, Paul Bernlohr, Bob Thai, Don Cohen.

Reserve Cagers The reserve basketball team, taking the cue from its big brother, the Varsity, snared the CBL Reserve championship completing the year for Bexley’s basketball aspirations. The team romped through its CBL schedule without a mar on it, defeating Academy, 55-13 and 51-23; Arlington, 26-21 and 30-22; Delaware. 29-26 and 38-23; and Grandview, 26- 17 and 35-27. Against non-league foes the Lion Cubs showed their claws to defeat Marion Harding, Holy Family, Linden McKinley, and Newark, but were in turn beaten by the powerful North, South, East, and West teams. To make their success complete the squad de- feated the All Star Reserves 28-20 in a scrappy, hard fought post season game played on Bexley floor. The starting five was composed of Bert Bathiany and Bill Roth at forwards, Dick Braun at center, and Erwin Zeller and Fred Nagle at the guards. Tom Anders did an excellent job as utility man filling in amply wherever he was needed. All members of the squad received gold keys from Coach Eugene Mechling while their mothers were given a red rose by the cheer leaders at the annual Basketball Banquet held at the Columbus Country Club March 20. Page titty’hue Page Fifty-six Led by co-captains Bob Zimmerman and Jim Gramlich, the Bexley cagers, with one of the school's three best teams,” swept through all CBL opposition to win the league championship for the second consecutive year. While winning fourteen games in the regular season, the Lions lost bqjy to Newark, district A champion. Coach CARLTON H. SMITH Perennial Victor .

Baseball Gene Mechling's diamond aggregation has given a very good account of itself in the five games played thus far this season. Of the fourteen games played, the Lions have tasted defeat hut twice and have cinched at least a tie in the Central Buckeye League. Bexley opened the season April 9 by clouting Academy’s Vikings to the tune of 17 to 1 behind the one-hit pitching of All-CBL Dick Braun. Three days later the Lions were set down by last year’s CBL Champs, Upper Arlington, by a score of 6 to 3. Bad weather then took its turn on the mound and several games were postponed. With the return of clear skies, April 25, Dick Braun pitched a no hit—- no run victory over Delaware, 18-0. The following day, Co-Captain Paul South- worth held Academy to four hits and Bexley came out on the long end of a 9 to 2 count to hand the Vikings their second defeat from the Lions. In the second Arlington fracas on April 30, Bexley made up for its previous loss by downing the Golden Bears 2-0 behind Braun’s tw'o-hit hurling. This game placed Bexley in a tie for first place with Arlington and Grandview. Regulars in the infield were Bill Petty at first base; Kent Tarrier, second base; Bill Sheaf, shortstop; and Co-Captain Bruce Allen, third base. Johnny Hausman and Conrad Stone filled in at shortstop and first base respectively. The battery consisted of either Dick Braun or Co-Captain Paul Southworth hurling on the mound with Carl Johnson behind the plate receiving. The outfield was patrolled by Bill Barrett, Bud Susil, and either Hausman or Southworth when the latter wasn’t pitching. Page Fifty-eight Track Led by Capt. Phil Krieger and All-State Jack Lewis in the hurdles, Bexley experienced a mediocre season on the cinders this year. Victorious in one of their first four meets, a triangular meet with Circleville and Rosary, the Lions dropped contests to Linden McKinley, Worthington, and Chillicothe. The CBL meet was held Thursday May 9 as a twilight meet on the Bexley track with the Lions coming in second to Arlington. Jack Lewis took first in both hurdle events and the broad jump and John Ruetty in the shot put. During the season Jack Lewis set new track records in both hurdles while John Ruetty set a record in the shot put. Fred Nagle and Dick Lindsey were outstanding in the dashes, and Bill Webb, Dick Desmond, and Norman Schauwecker gave notable performances in the dis- tances. Jack Thornbury and Dave Auch’s performances in the 440 yd. dash were excellent while Don Cook and John Jolliffe gave creditable accounts of themselves in the weights. Lewis along with Krieger and Nagle formed the broad jump team while Lewis and Neal Blacker made up Bexley’s team in the high jump. Bill O’Donnell in the hurdles, Jeff Neal in the pole vault, and Marty Hackman in the mile relay could always be counted on for quite a few points.

Basketball Designated sections of the gym were decorated by the class teams which were supported by their rooters. The games, a new plan for girls’ basketball, were sponsored by G. A. C. and promise to be an annual event. Page Sixty More than one hundred girls representing all classes participated in an attei school basketball league. Held’s Belles, captained by Dorothy Held, earned the championship when they won eight of their nine scheduled games. Tied for second place were Jodie May’s team, the Mais Oui, and Kay Davenport’s Katy Dids, who won seven games and lost two. High scorers for the season included Lenore Kefauver and Dorothy Held. On March 19, an evening tournament initiating a new tradi- tion at Bexley, consisted of three games played among class teams. The sophomores rated top honors. The juniors won over the freshman team 16-4 with Jodie May and Lenore Kefauver making four baskets each. Second scheduled game, showed a 14-9 victory for the sophomores, as Ann Williard tossed in eight points against Roberta Clark’s lead of five for the seniors. Sophomores held top score again when the juniors were defeated 6-10.

Girls’ Tennis The Girls’ Tennis Team enjoyed a superior season this year under the guidance of Mrs. Martha A. Swanson. The team was lucky in having favorable weather conditions throughout the season. The matches consisted of three singles and two doubles with a five-o’clock deadline. Marilyn Spagat, Jodie May, and Ramona Vogel made up the singles team, while the two doubles teams were composed of Jane Taylor and Priscilla Smith, and Charlotte Thomas and Carole Crumley. Jane Thomas did an excellent job of filling in for an ill or missing player. In their first match Bexley emerged victorious over the University School netters by a score of three won, one lost, and one tied. Matches with Arlington and Grandview have also been planned. Letters are awarded to all girls competing in at least four matches. Hockey Under the leadership of Dorothy Held, the Girls' Hockey team experienced a poor season win- ning no games, tying one with Arlington and losing two games to Grandview, CSG, and University and one to Arlington. These A team defeats were matched by a slightly better B team record. The B-squaders won from University and lost to Arlington and Grandview. The following girls made up the A squad first team: Elise Webster, Nancy Fletcher, Lenore Kefauver, Sally Moore, Marjorie Willcox, Martha Jones, Priscilla Smith. Jodie May, Dorothy Held, Lois Orr, Roganne McGuire. Substitutes were Edith Mae Hamilton, Mary Jo Chase, Betty Zim- merman, and Ann Williard. The season ended with a playday at Ohio State University.

Tennis The Bexley high school tennis team this year lost the CBL championship which they had retained since the beginning of the league six years ago. In fact the team had the unbelievable record of not having lost a match in league competition in five years, from 1941 to 1946. This year the team dropped two of its first four matches to Academy, 5-2 and 5-2 while winning from Grandview’, 6-1 and from North, 6-1. The first five players for most of the season were: Capt. Frank Pryor, Jim Neustadt. Melvin Greenfield. Bill Both, and Jack Herr. Vi alter Buchsieb. Jerry Cooper, and Jeff Neal kept the regulars unsure of their positions and made strong bids for playing positions. The matches consisted of five singles and two doubles. Par- ticipation in at least one half of the matches and the recommendation of the Athletic Board are required in order to be awarded a letter.

With creation of enthusiasm for scholarship, stimu- lation of desire to render service, promotion of worthy leadership, and encourage- ment of character development as its aims, the National Honor Society represents the basic objects on which high schools are founded. Members are selected from the upper third of the class in scholarship; only fifteen per cent of the seniors and five per cent of the juniors may be chosen. The number selected as juniors is deducted from those chosen as seniors.

Through the Voca- tional Guidance Program, the Council has tried to help the upperclassmen choose their vocation for the future years. Again this year the Student Council sponsored the “Open House” on May 21 in order that the parents be given an opportunity to meet the teachers, see the classroom exhibits, and enjoy the special events scheduled for the evening. The Courtesy campaign was regarded by the members as one of the chief pieces of work, and it is hoped that this project will be continued year after year. This year the Student Council also met the need of a school juke box.

Chorus The Chorus, under the direction of Carroll Fowler, began its year by furnishing music for the Thanksgiving Chapel. A large group, comprised of the two girls’ choruses and the three boys’ choruses, together with the orchestra, presented a Christmas Carol Festival featuring the cantata, “Childe Jesus,” by Joseph Clokey, on December 17. On March 30, twenty-two members took part in the Ohio Day Festivities in Cleveland, Ohio. One thousand seven hundred and fifty high school boys and girls from all over Ohio sang in one mass group, directed by Peter J. Wilousky, of New York. The Junior-Senior Choir presented a Spring Concert the evening of May 24. Variety for the program included instrumental and vocal solos and also singing by small groups of the choir. The program concluded with the choral arrangement of “Tales of the Vienna Forest” written by Johann Strauss. Money from the concerts will be used to purchase gowns and stands for the choir. Page Sixty-eight Band The Bexley High School Band has thrived and flourished in its fourth year under the direction of Ralph L. Jordon. Its spectacular marching during the football season and in the Citizen Christmas parade will not be forgotten. During basketball season a pep band was organized to provide music during time outs. The band has been placed on the Ohio State University invitational list, an honor given to only seven other school musical organizations in the state. Mr. Jordan left the band to enter the business world with six weeks left in the school year. In December the band settled down to serious work on its “Patron Concert.” given April 12. Now established as an annual concert, a pleasant mixture of serious and light music marked a red letter day. John Hausman served as president.

Torch Established in 1926, the Torch has endeavored to be a guiding light to the students of Bexley High School in their efforts “to strive, to seek, to find, and not yield.” For the second time in its history, the Torch this year won the Medalist Award from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, and the All-American Award from the National Scholastic Press Association under the able editorship of Dick Desmond. Cooperation of the highest type is needed to make the paper a success, and this year’s staff has succeeded admirably. One of the outstanding chapel programs of the year was presented by the Torch, featuring a take-off, written by Linda Underwood and Janet Teachnor, on a Torch staff meeting. ’age Seventy We, the staff of the 1946 Bexleo, have endeavored to present to you a record of the past school year. We hope that in the future this book will recall many pleasant memories of yourselves, your classmates, and your teachers at Bexley high school. This year, for the first time, the Bexleo has carried out a theme, which is built around the idea that during each hour of our high school years we grow in wis- dom and stature, in democracy, in teamwork, in achievement, and in appreciation. We are grateful for the chance to take an active part in the making: of the 1946 Bexleo. THE STAFF Literary Editor---------—.....—........ —......—....
