Bexley High School - Bexleo Yearbook (Bexley, OH)

The Yearbook Yesterdays are but memories And oh, how soon we forget them. A person, a place. All too soon not a trace Remains. Remembrances may be blurred, If we look back one day. But that learned and that taught Are eternally caught In these pages. Becky Phipps

An apple is picked fresh off the tree. The uneaten fruit offers refreshment and nourishment. As each bite is taken, the apple changes form until finally all that is left is a core. This appears to be the end of the fruit, but inside lies the seeds. These seeds offer a beginning and possibly the growth of a new tree. Graduation from high school also appears to be the end. It is the end of high school days, and for most it is the end of the safety Bexley has provided. Like the seeds of the apple, graduation is a new beginning. Anything is possible. Though it is frightening to face the unknown, everything accomplished at Bexley High School has aided the preparation for what lies ahead. Every year of high school is a different experience. The freshmen have left Jr. High and are faced with new social and academic standards. High school is their new beginning which requires changing and growing. They go through all the steps to becoming seniors and then must face the beginning again. Sophomores and juniors savor each moment: each bite they take out of high school life. They are approaching the end; yet they are still too far to feel the excitement one feels when discovering new things and places and meeting new people. They are at the point where they are establishing friendships but at the same time their own individuality. Academically they set goals for themselves; and after these are established, they continue to learn and grow. All too soon they will reach that time when they must plant their feet on the ground outside Bexley and begin a new life of their own. Seniors seem to simply enjoy. While they spend time enjoying, they are approaching graduation. Their feelings are mixed with excitement, anxiety, and a bit of sadness. They must leave their friends and their community. Though the seniors say goodbye, they also say hello to a new beginning. Maybe nothing ever ends. There will always be beginnings where something new will grow.
