Howell eme The pioneers of 1849 left their homes and their families to go west. They undertook the long, hard journey which was to lead them to gold— the greatest wealth imaginable! Today, a century later, we admire the spirit and perseverance of those pioneers; but it is our belief that there is a much greater wealth to be had than gold. There are many interpretations of the actual meaning of this wealth. Some say it is wisdom, or love, or happiness, or a combination of all these things; but whatever its name may be, we know that it symbolizes all that life has to offer. 1 he indit idual who finds this treasure is rich in the real sense of the word. Superintendent Emerson D. Jarvis is an alumnus of Franklin College and of the University of Indiana. He came to Bexley in January, 1948, and has won the respect and admiration of all who have known and worked with him since he has been a part of Bexley. He has worked untiringly for the promotion of the building program for the Bexley schools, and has succeeded in imbuing our educational system with the democratic ideal. Dr. Jarvis obtained his Ph.D. on December 17, 1948. This year marks a milestone in his career, as it is the end of twenty-five years of service in education. Dr. Jarvis says, “The forty-niners sought gold. Many found it. They pioneered with one of the plentiful resources of our country. Sometimes young people today feel that the stage of pioneering challenge is over in this country. That is not true. The most challenging type of pioneering is ahead. It lies in the areas of how to think, how to work together, how to understand each other, and how to provide solutions for existing problems in our society. How to keep our science of social affairs abreast of our pure scientific discoveries is only one example of this kind of pioneering challenge. The goals are inspiring and the rewards even greater today than they were in 1849.” R V I S B.A., M.A., Ph.D. Six Russell E. K E S S L E R .B., M.A., LL.B. Principal Russell E. Kessler, a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan, Ohio State, and Franklin Universities, has been the able principal of Rexley High School for over a score of years. He has seen the school develop into the smoothly functioning building of education that it is today. Mr. Kessler has incorporated many innovations in the school curricula and activities, with the goal of a perfect school day in mind. In his leisure moments, Mr. Kessler enjoys being in the out-of-doors, with hunting and fishing as his main interest. As this is the class of ’49, Mr. Kessler says, “A century ago the pioneers traveled to California where they found the people in revolu- tion, not of blood, but of gold. To go to a country where gold was as plentiful as dirt was the goal of many young people of that time. What is the future of high school youth today? In the discovery of atomic energy man has created a situation which may cause his destruc- tion or may bring about the building of a richer, better world. The greatest challenge to youth is offered in the control and direction of this energy toward the building of a new world in which there will be peace, productivity surpassing our fondest hopes, and ease of living beyond all our imagination. This generation may be the lucky one, or the last one.” Seven a; -.?■« , -■ j v ••• v� •; •' � ..• ■ � • ■ Miss Mary Squier Bethel, B.A., M.A. Shorthand and typing—graduated from Office Training School and Ohio State University— often says, “Were you absent or tardy?”— likes to read, play bridge, go to the movies, and listen to the radio-—pet peeve is home- rooms and discourteous students.

Organized for the purpose of promoting co-operation and good sportsmanship among its members, the Girls’ Athletic Club has attained its goal through many activities in and out of school. Under the supervision of Miss Margaret Love, club advisor, the 1948-1949 season was opened with a “Cider-Spree” rushing party for freshmen and newcomers to the school. Every GAC member has a specific goal to work for during her high school years. Through participation in various major and minor sports, she may earn points with w'hich to win a Bex- ley “B” or a letter-sweater. In order to win a letter, a member must earn 500 athletic points during her active membership in the club; for a letter-sweater she must earn 500 more. The officers for the year were as follows: president, Ann Donaldson; vice-president, Barbara Wise; secretary, Diane Neighbors; treasurer, Gloria Weintraub. On May 24, the traditional GAC banquet was held at the Columbus Riding Club where top honors were presented and the new officers for next year were installed. ■ . ■ , ■' % ' ‘ “To build a fellowship of girls” has been the theme of the Y-Teen Club this year. The one hundred and eighteen members have been busy striving to uphold the ideals of the Y.W.C.A., with which the club is affiliated. A “Come Dressed As Your Favorite Nursery Rhyme” party in September started off the vear. During National Roll Call Week in October the new members were inducted into the club at a city-wide recognition service. In November the service committee sponsored a shoe drive. Six hundred shoes were collected, cleaned, and sent to Europe. At Christmas time carols were sung by the club members in the halls. The third annual Hi-Y-Teen Sweetheart Dance was held in February. The proceeds went to complete a former pledge made to the World-wide Reconstruction Fund. In March Shirle Cooke and Ginger Smith. Inter-Club Council President, attended the National Y.W.C.A. Convention in San Francisco. On March 29 all the members entertained their mothers at a tea. The devotional committee took charge of the Morning Watch services held during the week preceding Easter. The traditional farewell banquet held by the underclassmen honoring the graduating seniors was May 5. The president was Shirle Cooke. She was assisted by Diane Neighbors, vice-president; Mary Lou Lippert, secretary; and Peggy Riggs, treasurer. Miss Trola McCurdy served as faculty adviser.

This year the French Club was led by its president, Joyce Hofheimer, through a busy and active year. Membership in the club is open to all first and second year students. The programs, planned by Ginger Smith, were varied and interesting. They ranged from movies at the World Theatre to a skit presented by second year students. One of the highlights of the year was a speech by Mile Monnier of Capital University. At this meet- ing, conducted entirely in French, it was proved that the members were able to under- stand the language to a relatively high degree. The aim of the French Club is to cultivate an active interest in the French language and civilization. Officers assisting the president were Barbara Wise, secretary; and Gloria Seelig, treasurer. Faculty adviser was Ralph M. Howell. Back row: Penn.

Everyone in the class belongs to the club and each class has its own officers and meetings, The meetings of the clubs are held the first Monday of each month. Programs of the vari- ous clubs have included movie slides, motion pictures, song translations into Spanish, rec- ords, and reports on Spanish customs and holidays. Many of the students carried on correspondence with boys and girls of Span- ish-speaking countries. At Christmas, the clubs combined their funds to give money to a needy family, and to St. Vincent’s Orphan- age. This has been a project of the club for many years. The students in the picture above are the officers of the various clubs. Miss Selma H. Hamann is advisor of the group.

The Science Club, which is affiliated with the Science Clubs of America, has had many interesting and educational demonstrations by the members. The club is divided into three committees: physics, chemistry, and biology. All committees have given outstanding pro- grams dealing with some specific phase of a more general field. Various members who have special interests have made more extensive study and experi- mentation and have given informative and worthwhile reports on the results of their work. Recently, a large library of reading material and data has been compiled for the use of the members. Officers were as follows: president, Wayne Spangler; vice-president, Sandord Hepps; sec- retary, Bill Kloss: treasurer, John Schramm. It is the purpose of the club to develop an interest in science, as well as to learn the facts. Back row: Mauer, Barrett, Rowe, Addison, Hayes, Feeney, Seckel, Strahm, Stone, Speyer. Second row: French, Bowman, Foley, Sachs, Petty, Angle, Dancey, Fisher, Merkle, Sands. Front row: Ward, White, Ming, Click, Bastian. Collins. Penn. Winters, Piatt. Ong, Shockey. In the first meeting last fall the Art Club elected as officers Bill Penn, president; Nancy Winters, vice-president, and Dan Collins, sec- retary-treasurer. They guided the destinies of our artistic “set” for the current year and formulated plans for such social activities as have since gone forward. This club was formed at the instigation of Mr. Trivella in 1947. Its present guiding light is our popular instructor, Otto A. Jiskra, to whom we are indebted for another successful year in the progress of the Art Club. Included in this year’s activities have been a dance held in the gymnasium to the lilting strains of Wayne Spangler and his band, a trip to the art department at Ohio State Univer- sity, and a trip to the Columbus Art Gallery.

Elaine Suid was president and John Schramm was chosen vice-president. The other officers were Jane Harrah, secretary; Mary Bernlohr, treasurer; and Judah Folkman and Gloria Weintraub, program co-chairmen. The club sent a donation of ten dollars to Italy to help some needy Italian family. The family turned out to be that of an Italian school teacher, who replied gratefully in a note of thanks to the students. At one of the mid-year meetings the club was entertained by slides of Rome. The last meeting of the school year celebrated the birthday of Rome. The purpose of the Latin Club is to make the study of Latin more interesting and real- istic. Our adviser is Mrs. Amy C. Brightman. HI-Y CLUB Back row: Davenport, Cambell, Shipe, Bowman, Schairbaum, Hanlon, Barker, Krebs, Hayes, Schofer, Weiler, Hunt, Perrin, Haering.

Our club was under the leadership of John Schramm. The other officers were as follows: vice-president, Ted Cook; secretary, Paul Bernlohr; treasurer, Dick Kohn; chap- lain, Bill Kloss. The annual retreat for officers of the Hi-Y clubs of central Ohio was attended by all five of the Bexley officers. Bexley was runner-up in the Hi-Y basket- ball league. The Hi-Y went together with the Y-Teens to sponsor the annual Sweetheart Dance. On April 9, Bexley boys went to work for the city-wide work day and brought in $50.00, which will help build camps for boys in the Philippines. Several Bexley boys held offices in the city government on Hi-Y City Government Day. John Schacht was the adviser and basketball mentor for the club again this year.

The programs presented are written and staged by a combination of five committees under the supervision of Miss Bernice Mullins. These committees give club members the opportu- nity to see and take part in the activities that go on behind the scenes in producing good programs. Ginger Smith led the club as president in a repeatedly successful year. The other officers were Joyce Rinehart, vice-president; Martha Lou Clodfelter, secretary; and Jo Arthur, treasurer. F. T. A. A new club has been founded at Bexley High School by a group of students interested in the teaching profession. Any junior or senior may join the Future Teachers of Amer- ica Club. The purposes of the club are to learn about the opportunities in teaching, to cultivate the qualities essential to a good teacher, to study the lives of great teachers, and to foster the development of student leadership. Gloria Seelig, president; Barbara Elder, vice-president; Lennita Harms, secretary; and Joyce Rinehart, treasurer, have led the club. The faculty adviser is Miss Marion Thomas.

Tatgenhorst, the Bexley High School Band has completed another successful year. Last summer band members acted as a demonstration band at Ohio State University during the marching band institute. Having learned many new marching techniques and formations, the band performed a variety of half time shows, marching at all of the home games and at Greenfield, Mt. Vernon, Chilli- cothe, and Arlington. On Nov. 13, the Band Parents Club turned the high school into a carnival to help raise funds for the band’s activities. At the close of marching season, the band concentrated on music for its Annual Patron Band Concert. On April 8, the 86 piece band played a variety of concert music. Works of three contemporary composers featured were Grainger’s “Irish Tune From County Derry,” “Second Suite in F Major” by Holst, and Grundman’s “American Folk Rhapsody.” Three and four year service medals were presented, along with letter awards, at the second annual recognition banquet held April 29, at the Columbus Country Club. On May 13 and 14, the band journeyed to Newark, Ohio, to participate in a two day band festival with four other bands. Officers of the band are Wayne Spangler, John Schramm, Lennita Harms, and Bob Ritterspach. CHORAL MUSIC The Bexley High School choir composed of 62 members is helping to further high school interest in good music. The choir consisting of 36 girls and 26 boys meets every day fifth period and uses its time exclusively for singing. Under the direction of C. Robert Myers, new to the Bexley system this year, the choir has prepared two formal concerts, one at Christmas and one in the spring during National music week. The choir has also given several performances in school chapels, Easter assembly, Bexley clubs, and other schools. The choir prides itself on studying all types of music, from Bach and Palestrina to Waring arrangements of popular songs. During the year the choir visited Upper Arlington’s music department, while a mixed ensemble came to Bexley from that school. Membership in this organization is strictly on a selective basis. All proceeds from con- certs go to help pay the cost of 70 new choir robes which were purchased last year. The officers the past year were Jo Arthur, Barbara Elder, and George Grubb—the presi- dent, secretary-treasurer, and social chairman respectively. A cappella singing as well as accompanied pieces are used extensively in the choir. The accompanist the past year was Marjorie Rackham.

Through perseverance and cooperation, the staff under the direction of Miss Ruth Geist, literary advisor, and Ralph M. Howell, business advisor, has brought to the students previews and reviews of all activities taking place in the school. This year’s staff having completed their job feel that they have been rewarded many times over by obtaining experience and having fun while doing the job. Remembering last minute races to the printer—cutting both galleys to bits—the weekly trip to Pam’s Drive-In—“make- up” luncheons— pandemonium in the Torch office—deadlines!—and the untiring efforts of Barbara to make our paper the best, the staff of 1949 wishes the staff of 1950 a most successful and entertaining year. The staff includes: Barbara Wise, Editor; Dick Kohn, Associate Editor; Ellyn Fox, News Editor; Joan Eickholt, Associate News Editor; Anne Marcus, Literary Editor; Ann Donaldson, Associate Literary Editor; Cliff Schlesinger, Sports Editor; Sam Abramson, Associate Sports Editor; Ginger Smith, Girls Sports Editor; Bill Penn, Art Editor; Mickey Keever, Exchange Edi- tor; Doris Cohen, Janice Leach, Contributing Editors; Hal Davenport, Business Manager; Ralph Schofer, Advertising Manager; Jack Bartlett, Associate Advertising Manager; Stanley Skilken, Larry Feitlinger, Photographers. An All-American rating was awarded to the Torch this year by the National Scholastic Press Association. The rating classified the paper as superior. Out of a perfect total of 1000 points, the Torch received a total of 960 to attain the rating. Sixty-six IS WEALTH Back row: Tom Thornbury, Dick Kolin, Jerry Haubrich, Bill Kloss.

Just as the pioneers of 1849 devoted themselves to the search for gold, so the members of the class of 1949 are seeking the riches of a full life. The BEXLEO staff has endeavored to crystallize some of the memories of a wonderful year for the benefit of the departing seniors and the rest of the students. The inspirational theme, with its connotation of 1949 as a “special” year, has been a con- stant incentive to the hard-working staff members. They have attempted various new schemes in layout and design, and have worked untiringly on money-raising projects so as to make the BEXLEO of 1949 a special annual for a special year. Cooperation, enthusiasm, and friendliness are words which will depict the atmosphere of the staff meetings this year. All the members willingly pooled their efforts on countless jobs, such as soliciting of advertisements, layout, selection of covers, writing of copy, trimming and mounting of pictures, and other work which has gone into the making of this yearbook. The theme need not only apply alone to the class of 1949. It is the sincere hope of the staff that this BEXLEO will be cherished not only for its ability to recapture memories, but also for the inspiration provided by the theme. A rich and happy life may well be a worthy goal for everyone. Key positions on the staff were filled by Joyce Hofheimer, Editor; Barbara Wise, Associate Editor; Bill Penn, Art Editor; Ann Donaldson, Literary Editor; Tom Thornbury, Boys’ Sports; Ginger Smith, Girls’ Sports; Bill Kloss, Business Manager; and John Schramm, Advertising Man- ager. Ralph M. Howell served as adviser. In addition to achieving its primary objective—a book pleasing to its readers—the staff hopes to win for a third successive year a First Place Award by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association.

Membership in the National Honor Society is the highest honor conferred by Bexley High School. It is comparable to the Phi Beta Kappa organization in college. The members are selected from the upper third of the class in scholarship, and only fifteen per cent of the senior class and no more than five per cent of the junior class may be admitted each year. On April 22 nine seniors and six juniors were initiated into the society. The fifteen candidates had met the basic qualifications of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Back row: Cliff Schlezinger, Ralph Schofer, Sam Abramson, Hal Davenport, John Schramm, Ann Don- aldson, Bill Kloss, Ginger Smith. Front row: Joan Eickholt, Janice Leach, Ellyn Fox, Barbara Wise, Joyce Hofheimer, Dick Kohn, Anne Marcus, Mari- anne Keever. Sixteen members of the Torch and Bexleo staffs became members in Quill and Scroll, the international honorary society for high school journalists. To be eligible for this honor, one must be in the upper third of his class and must have shown initiative in his work on the high school publications. The members for 1949 are Joyce Hof- heimer, Dick Kohn, Barbara Wise, Ellyn Fox, Joan Eickholt, Anne Marcus, Ann Donaldson, Ginger Smith, Clifford Schlezinger, Sam Abramson, Janice Leach, Mariann Keever, Ralph Schofer, Hal Davenport, Bill Kloss, and John Schramm.

Under the leadership of President John Schramm, the Student Council was able to complete many of its regular annual projects and to embark on several new ones. Homecoming activities were taken care of by the Council. The Christmas tree was pur- chased for the school, and Christmas baskets were collected for needy families. One of the most practical undertakings was the Voca- tional Guidance program. Upper Arlington and Bexley High Schools cooperated on Student Visitation Day. Other new projects included the mock election; Stu- dent Administration Day, when students oc- cupied all school positions; and the purchase of a large menu sign for the cafeteria. The remaining officers of the Council of 1948-49 were Dick Kohn, vice-president; Bar- bara Wise, secretary-treasurer; and Paul Bern- lohr, sergeant-at-arms. Harold V. Tipton served as adviser. Back row: Bill Ong, Dick Kohn, Olof Carlson, Bob French, eorge Grubb. Front row: Lennita Harms, Barbara Edwards, Angie Ackley, Ann Donaldson, Ginger Smith, Joyce Ilofheimer, Ellyn Fox, Sliirle Cooke, Doris Cohen, Gloria Seelig. Dear Ruth, an amusing comedy, was pre- sented by the senior class under the direction of Miss Bernice Mullins. The play was pre- sented on Thursday and Friday evenings, May 19 and 20. The amusing idea of a little sister who writes letters to serv ice men under her big sister’s name proves to be excellent entertainment. The cast was as follows: Ruth, Ellyn Fox and Sliirle Cooke; Bill, George Grubb; Mir- iam, Joyce Hofheimer and Ginger Smith; Martha, Doree Cohen and Gloria Seelig; Chuck, Bob French; Father, Dick Kohn; Mother, Angie Ackley and Ann Donaldson; Albert, Bill Penn and Olaf Carlson; Harold, Bill Ong; Dora, Lennita Harms and Barbara Edwards. The play was double-cast in a number of its roles because of the unusual amount of talent in evidence in the very interesting try- outs this year. Sixty-nine wm. REVIEW OF SPORTS CARLTON H. SMITH With the possible exception of baseball, no championships were won by the Lion teams of 1948-’49. The football team finished second, the basketball team fourth, and track team probably third; but the baseball team has a good chance for the championship. The football team was exceptionally strong, losing only to Mt. Vernon in the C. B. L. and to St. Charles in the opening game. This team would have won the championship ordinarily, but Mt. Vernon was exceptionally strong. Our basketball team was below par this year and finished the season with eight won and ten lost. They finished fourth in the league. They claim some glory for having beaten Mansfield and Newark. We must say that they were very unfortunate in losing three games by one point. With seven lettermen and veteran pitchers and catchers, the baseball team has an excel- lent chance for a championship and now is undefeated. Baseball affords our only hope for a championship. As usual, the track team is not well enough balanced for a championship, but has some fine individual performers and will win many of its dual meets. The tennis and golf teams are only average and will finish with about a 50-50 standing. Reserve teams have been above average; this indicates some fine teams next year. Our athletic endeavors for this year have been above average, with some teams outstand- ing and others average and none bad. Many boys were individually excellent and made the all-league teams and the others gave their best, which is all we can ask of them. We are proud of their efforts and congratulate them on any success they have had. We wish the seniors much luck in their college athletics. We salute also the Varsity B Club, our veteran athletes who have won letters in one or more sports. VARSITY B Back row: Crompton, Blocker, Harlor, Smeck, R. Hutchin- son, D.

This was good enough for the runner-up spot in the Cen- tral Buckeye League. In league play the Lions were beaten only bv Mt. Vernon, CBL Champs. The other defeat came at the hands of St. Charles in the season opener. A spirited St. Charles eleven spoiled Bexley’s opener. After a scoreless first half the Carolians pushed across two quick touchdowns in the third quarter. Late in the fourth quarter the Carolians scored again, this time through the air, making the final score 20-0. In their second outing of the year the Lions showed a reversal of form. They rolled over Greenfield McClain 47-0. After the first period there was no stopping the Lions’ rampage. One touchdown each by Bob Barrett, Dick Landrum, Wayne Hanners, Bill Tall, Tom Montague, and two by Jerry Smeck paved the way to victory. For their next battle Bexley traveled to Urbana to hand Urbana High a 7-0 defeat. The game was closely contested all the way. However the Lions managed to push across a score in the second stanza on a pass from Keith Krebs to Paul Bemlohr. The squad then journeyed to Mt. Vernon for what proved to be the championship game. The Lions were turned back 13-0. The game was played on a wet field with Dick Shuff high- lighting the Mt. Vernon attack. The Blue Lions caught fire in the second half of their tussle with Grandview’s Bobcats and proceeded to win 12-0. Bexley scored early in the third period on a Keith Krebs to Dick Lan- drum pass, climaxing a 63 yard sustained march. Again in the fourth quarter Bexley drove 80 yards to pay dirt, scoring on a 39 yard jaunt by Scott Inboden. Seventy-four The Lions provided Queen Bev Barker and her court with a happy homecoming, downing Delaware 13-0. Both scores came on one yard plunges by Scott Inboden, after being set up by pass interceptions and some very effective broken field running by Bob Barrett. One week later the Lions spoiled Arlington’s homecoming, winning by a one point margin 7-6. Bexley came from behind to score on a quarterback sneak by Keith Krebs in the fourth quarter. Paul Bernlohr added the vital extra point. After a sluggish first quarter Bexley gathered steam and rolled over Academy’s Vikings 26-0. Scoring twice in the second quarter and once in the third and fourth quarters, the Lions had little trouble in downing their neighborhood foe. Wayne Planners, scoring twice, led the touchdown parade. Scott Inboden and Dick Hutchinson contributed the other scores. Chillicothe’s Cavaliers proved a harder nut to crack. The Cavaliers scored on the opening play but Bexley came fighting back to knot the count at 6 all in the second period on Jerry Smeck’s six yard plunge. Chillicothe regained the lead on a recovered fumble. Again the Lions came back to score, this time with only two minutes to play. A Krebs to Landrum pass and Paul Bernlohr’s toe provided the margin of victory. For the final battle of the season Bexley traveled to Washington C. H. The game, played during a downpour, ended in a scoreless tie. Due to the weather, neither team could muster an effective scoring punch. The starting team consisted of Paul Bernlohr and Doug Wolcott at ends; Captain Jim Foley and Charlie Tinkham at tackles; Captain-elect Bob Tall and Darrell Hutchinson at guards; Bill Tall at center; Keith Krebs at quarterback; Wayne Hanners, Dick Landrum, Scott Inboden and Tom Montague at halfback; and Bob Barrett at fullback. Jim Pohlman at end. Bill Creager at tackle, Dave Lowum at guard and Dick Hutchinson at fullback saw action on the defensive team. Several of the members of the squad achieved individual success. Paul Bernlohr, Jim Foley, Bob Tall and Scott Inboden were on the All-CBL first team. Bill Tall and Bob Barrett gained places on the second team while Charlie Tinkham, Wayne Hanners, and Keith Krebs received honorable mention. The Bexley Reserves, under the tutelage of “Leftv” Swinehart. also had a winning season. They finished with 6 wins and 4 losses. RESERVES Back row: Quecke, Collins, lloey.

In the Central Buckeye League the Lions were in the midst of some very close competition, finishing in a tie for fourth place with Mt. Vernon. Outside the CBL the cagers fared much better, achieving wins over Marion Harding, Co- lumbus West, Newark, Mansfield, and Worthington, while losing to Washington C. H., Linden McKinley, and Greenfield. In League play the Bexley quintet won over Academy twice, split with Mt. Vernon, and lost two contests each to Arlington, Delaware, and Grandview. In the second Academy fray Paul Bernlohr tallied a new League scoring record by scoring 36 points, to surpass the former mark of 32 set by Jack Lewis of Bexley and Ed Smith of Grandview in 1947. The Blue Lions entered the Central District Tournament with,a win over St. Charles who had been beaten on only four previous occasions. They went down to defeat for the third time at the hands of Delaware, CBL Champs. In a post season game with the 1939 Varsity the ’49 cagers w£re turned back in a contest which featured the play of three Bernlohrs: Paul and Bob on fhe ’49 Varsity and Fred on the ’39 Varsity. ' The starting team consisted of Doug Wolcott and Bob Thall at forwards; Paul Bernlohr at center; Tom Montague and either Ralph Harkless or Bob Bernlohr at guards. Jim Pohlman and John Harlor often displayed talent as substitute forwards. Dana Swinehart’s Reserve squad tied for second place in the CBL Reserve race. They finished the season with a 12 and 6 mark. The play of center Pat Aylwin and guard Bill l.egg was the outstanding factor in the Little Lions’ successful season. Seventy-six B. Bernlohr P. Bernlohr Pohlm an Krieger Krebs Williar.

TENNIS Because of uncontrollable circumstances, the girls’ tennis team ran somewhat behind schedule. In spite of the delay, thirty girls signed up for the spring sport. Practice was held every Friday afternoon and on the days the boys’ tennis team played matches away from school. Matches were scheduled wdth Arlington, University, and Worthington. The team mem- bers: Donaldson, Marcus, Lormer, Madison, Schacht, Winters, Glaize, Wheeler, Krieck- haus, Liggett, Neighbors, Durham, Levy, Adams, Schacht, and Lippert. Tennis, as well as all other girls’ sports, is under the direction of Miss Margaret Love, who is building a really comprehensive pro- gram to appeal to the varied interests of all the girls. HOCKEY Due to the limitations of the Ohio High School Athletic Association, all interscholastic activities were restricted to three events per sport per season. As a result, the hockey teams had only three games—Arlington, CSG, the Grandview; winning one, tieing one, and losing one. The first team for the ’48-’49 season in- cluded Barker, Dempsey, Ming, Dickinson, Schacht, Schauwecher, Marcus, Fox, Donald- son (captain), and Adams For the third consecutive year the GAC sponsored a Class Hockey Night. The seniors were the winners. This activity was espe- cially interesting because for the first time a Sports’ Queen was elected. Ellyn Fox was chosen and reigned during an impressive evening ceremony.

Golf has been increasing in importance as a girls’ sport for the last several years. This year it has been even more popular. From a small membership it has increased to one of twenty-five girls representing all classes. Practice and instruction were held every Monday afternoon after school at the Berwick Golf Course where old and new team mem- bers worked out. The beginners, mostly fresh- men, were given instruction in the basic fundamentals of golf, while the most experi- enced players went on the course for practice. There are three members from last years team back this year. They are Janice Krieck- haus, Emily Schacht, and Sue Shinbach. These girls will be members of the first squad for this season. There are usually two teams composed of four girls each to represent Bexley in all Inter-scholastic events. The activities of the Squad were limited be- cause of the lack of facilities in other schools in organizing teams of their own. GIRL CHAMPS Back row: Hanley, Seelig, Susil, Schauwecker, Adams. Front row: Smith, Wolcott, Fox, Koppleman, Wise, Nafzger. Basketball season brought much enthusiasm and competition with other schools as well as among our own teams. The senior class team, captained by Phyllis Koppleman, was the winner of the Inter- Class contest, and played interscholastically against Grandview, Groveport, and Hamilton, winning two games and losing one. The annual Class Night was held March 29. After two exciting preliminary contests between freshmen and juniors, sophomores and seniors, the seniors defeated the juniors 15-14 in a hard-fought battle. The interscholastic games were played on three different Sports’ Days. One was held at Bexley, and two were held at Grandview and Groveport respectively. All class teams took part in the Sports’ Days. Intramural tournaments were divided into a freshman-sophomore league and a junior- senior league. These games were played off round robin at noons and after school. Jean Babbitt’s team won the junior-senior league, and Bev Amorine’s team the freshman-sopho- more league.

And 'Why ONE OF OHIO’S The more than 18,000 men and women who are pro- ducing Timken bearings, fine alloy steel, and rock bits in many plants throughout Ohio make up one of the state’s largest industrial families. We’re proud of this fact because it proves once more that the competitive free enterprise system is the greatest in the world. Under any other, such as Communism, Socialism, Marxism, or Fascism the Timken enterprise could not have grown from a handful of men into a great mul- titude of people joined together for a single purpose: to make a profit. In fact, under any other system it is doubtful if the enterprise could have even begun. To gain a profit, 22,000 American men and women have invested their savings in the Timken enterprise. To gain a profit, more than 18,000 American men and women are busy giving the best that is in them to turn out the finest possible products. Because they profit by it, thousands of customers continue to buy Timken products in ever-increasing quantities. But strangely enough, the profit motive of late has taken on the nature of something evil, bad, anti-social. Yet profit is the reason why America is the most prosperous and powerful nation ever known. Under the free enterprise profit and loss system we have produced more goods for more people at a low cost than any nation in the history of man. Yes, we believe in the profit motive. We believe in a better product at the lowest cost consistent with a policy of steady employment at good pay and a fair return to investors for the use of their funds. And because we have always believed in it the Timken industrial family is one of Ohio’s largest. “TO MAKE THE BEST BEARINGS . . . THE BEST STEEL . . . THE BEST ROCK BITS WITH THE BEST PEOPLE WORKING UNDER THE BEST CONDITIONS!” That is our aim at Timken Ninety-one •Mi ! recognizes its responsibility to Bexley High School graduates of proved scholastic ability who accept the challenge to prepare for leadership. To them the University offers the opportunity to secure an education plus, under the favorable circumstances of small classes, personal at- tention, and expert counseling and instruction.
