We started with new classes and new sub- jects to conquer. We met new people and hoped to continue old friendships. Although many of the faces and surroundings were familiar, the challenges were fresh. The first few steps were the hardest through the tempting warm weather that lasted far into the fall and the excitement of social life. Mizzy Mlsco studies her artwork.

Some of us had just begun our high school life and all of us began to realize that other files had to be opened, the academic ones. We started to concern ourselves with the task of working for that certain grade point, which would be filed away and kept with our other records.

Along with these files, there were the worksheets of our trials, errors, and successes to make our files more impressive. Sometimes we took time to reflect on our lives and hoped that someone had noticed what we had accomplished. We realized how much we had changed because of our experiences.

The week began with the judging of hall decorations and a fantasy theme day which encouraged many creative costumes such as Raggedy Ann, Charlie Chaplin, and Greek togas. Following Fantasy Day” was College Sweatshirt Day when students wore the names and colors of their favorite college. Next was New Wave Day” which brought the most outrageous outfits of the week including punk rockers with colored hair and safety pin earrings. The traditional “Blue and White Day ended the school week on Thursday since Friday was a holiday, but an evening powder puff championship game, pep rally, bonfire and float building continued into the night. The seniors took the powder puff champion- ship from the freshmen, and everyone’s true school spirit came out at the pep rally. The climax of the week was the football game against the undefeated Marysville Monarchs when the Lions sent the Monar- chs home, defeated. Junior and freshmen girls are out for blood during the annual powder puff match up. ______________________________________________________ Student Life 13 Cartwright Reigns One of the most important parts of Homecoming was the selection of the queen and her court. The challenge of choosing the queen was never easy, but this year the choice seemed to be even more difficult. Instead of having a top ten court, eleven girls were chosen. Later in the week, a top six court was selected, rather than a top five. But, the final choice was made and the Homecoming Queen, Cece Cart- wright, was crowned. Top Ten: Front row; Lisa Rosen, Kathy Niermeyer, Stacey Brandt. Christina Cappelletti. Sylvete Gilbert. Back row; Molly Page. Shauna Steffy. Cece Cartwright, Valerie Acton, and Lisa Stradley.

Wm Winner of the float competition is the Class of 1984 with the theme “Raiders of the Lost Mon-arks.” Homecomings Strike Ace In keeping with tradition, this year's fall and winter homecomings proved to be highly successful. In the fall students participated in the building of class floats. Float themes centered on Monarchs, the mascot of the homecoming opponent, Marysville. This year’s winning float was entitled “Raiders of the Lost Mon-arks” and was built by the junior class. The annual parade marched through the streets of Bexley with the top six princesses riding in convertible Mercedes Benz. Cece Cartwright was crowned homecoming queen before the 13-0 Bexley victory. After the game, the band ATR played for the homecoming dance with a “fantasyland” theme. For winter homecoming, spirit week spread to two weeks of activities which centered on Valentine’s Day as well as homecoming. During the first week, students voted for the top ten and five finalists for homecoming king. Then on Friday, the first of two pep rallies was held. The boys’ cheerleading squad gave an entertaining performance with their own routines and uniforms. Floats paraded through the gym and demonstrated themes ranging from E.T. to Mr. Focht. In pregame ceremonies, Pete Waldman was crowned king. Following the Bexley victory over Dublin, a dance entitled “Flammer in My Fleart” began. The performing band, Raven, composed of six Bexley students, contributed to the dance’s success. Senior Boy Cheerleaders: Mark Beck, Mike Burke, Amos White, Dan Perry, Bruce Pohlman, Jim Stone, Dwain Mickey, Tom Taggert, Scott Dempsey, and Pete Waldman. Top Ten: Front row; Dave McCahan, Scott Dempsey, Steve Williard, Pete Waldman, Rich Gatterdam, Amos White. Back row; Pat Bellamy, Josh Portman, Mark Beck, and Bruce Pohlman.

Backed by fine leadership from our seniors,” ac- cording to head coach Gene Millard, the Lions cap- ped off a 27 game winning streak by capturing the coveted crown, and received state-wide acclaim as Ohio’s best AA high school team. Led by its senior co-captain, All-Ohio guard, Steve Hondo” Williard, and his partner in the back court, co-captain, Rich Gatterdam, along with David Elliott, Bob Bohn, Patrick Bellamy, and Chris Kondracke, the squad was “one of the best teams I’ve ever had and prob- ably the most determined and spirited,” Millard said. Williard received numerous state and city honors for his play in the regular season and tournament, and Steve Calhoun also stood out in the tourney, earning a place alongside Williard on the five-man All-AA State Tournament team. Although it was Williard who stood in the spotlight throughout the season, the team’s success was based on solid team play, Millard said. According to Athletic Director, Jim Click, the 1982-83 Lion’s basketball squad will be remembered as Bexley’s Team; “They did something that no other team will be able to claim: they won the school’s first state championship; and that’s something of which they can always be proud.” Co-captain Steve Williard, All-Ohio guard, cuts down the net as his basketball dream comes true.

Student Life ATR Entertains Although the night of the 1983 Junior-Senior Prom brought heavy rains, couples were not discouraged from joining in the fun of such a special and memorable event. Held at the Clintonville Women’s Club, the prom gave couples a chance to enjoy the unique surroundings. Students danced to the music of ATR while others relaxed with their dates. After the prom, students went to various parties and breakfasts. For many Bexley students, this was a night to be long-remembered. - Kathy Niermeyer and Bruce Pohlman dress In their finest attire for the prom.

The Mardi Gras featured dancing along with decorated booths and hours of fun. A make- your-own sundae stand and the freshman putt-putt booth were just two of the booths where students spent time. Festive colors filled the gymnasium with the air of the real Mardi Gras, as clubs decorated their booths. The A.V. club ran a computer booth and Student Council was in charge of the refreshment stand. Sean McAndrew tries his hand at putting at the freshman booth.

Chris Mead and Kathy Vincent display their artistic talent. Bexley Is Diverse Crowd What is a Bexleyite? This question was not easily answered due to the diversity of students at Bexley High School. Recreation seemed a main concern. On weekends Bexleyites traveled to Clearfork or Snow Trails, and some as far as Colorado, to get close to nature and the elements on the ski slopes. Those more inclined to warm weather activities could be found at the country club where they could socialize over a round of golf or a set of tennis. Florida was a main attrac- tion especially over winter and spring breaks. On the cultural side, students directed their talents to drawing, painting, singing, and the playing of musical instruments. A conflict of interest presented itself in the area of fashion. Bexleyites were torn between the traditional preppy look and the current styles of mini-skirts, baggy jeans,and punk. Bexleyites, concerned with the economy and the future, looked toward a future as executives and businessmen and sampled a variety of jobs. A Bexleyite was different things to different people, but each had dignity and pride as a representation of the community. Buffy Winans and Charlie Ballenger know practice is a part ot being a dedicated musician. Matt Hunley and Betsy Wood help uphold the Bexley tradition of wearing conservative clothing. ■N 26 Student Life •' k Prepared to brave the cold and hit the slopes are Jim Kozlek and Beth Rothman.

Council Debates Issues Student Council planned many projects and debated many decisions this year. Even though there were disagreements, most of council’s projects worked out. During the first half of the year council was faced with the decision of whether or not class officers should attend all of the meetings. Although tempers flared, tolerance prevailed. Student Coun- cil’s main contribution came from fund raising efforts for the heart fund and Unicef. A hat and button sale and dances helped school spirit to soar. Freshman Reps: Randy Kaplan, Judith Oklander, Janie Cohn, Kathy Cohen, Shani Topolosky, and Jennifer Winer._________________________ Student Life 29 Festival Returns The hands of time turned back and Shakespeare came alive again for a two period outdoor festival, reviving the Renaissance. Students exhibited many aspects of the Resaissance life style and traditions. British literature classes acted out memorable schemes from a few of Shakespeare’s plays. Students portrayed characters from such classics as Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and The Taming of the Shrew. To enlighten the audience on Shakespeare, he was brought back to life and interviewed on the “David Letterman Show.” Never before had such insight been brought to Shakespeare and his writings. In addition to Shakespeare, students showed other cultural sides of the Renaissance. They added not only to the talent of the festival, but also to the general mood of the festival. While enjoying the music, students had the chance to dance around the May pole. English classes played human chess game. Preparing for their Shakespeare skit. Pat Bellamy and David Elliot anx- iously go over their lives. Kyle Peterson poses as a modern day Romeo at the Renaissance Festival.

Torch Excels Interviews, deadlines, and headlines produced an award-winning school newspaper this year. The Torch staff received many awards and honors based on their excellent work. The Great Lakes Interna- tional Press Association Buckeye Award, the Na- tional Scholastic Press Association five star award, the Quill and Scroll Society, and the George Gallup Award (which only forty-eight schools in the country received) were just a few of the honors which the Torch won. Along with all the hard work, the Torch staff still found time for Sunday morning football games in the fall. It was a battle of wits and defensive plays, as the Torch staff played football with the staff members of the Arlington High School newspaper. The Sunday ritual ended with the “Turkey Bowl” in which the Torch members battled with each other for the title of “Turkey Bowl Champs.” Torch Editor : A. Tague, A. Yenkln, C. Prahl, J.

Staffers Win Honors In January, the Columbia Scholastic Press Association honored the Bexleo by awarding them a medalist rating, their highest possible award. The award lifted lagging winter spirits and brought fresh motivation into the first deadline. All year the members of the Bexleo staff worked hard to capture the life and spirit of the school year. Work began with the annual ad sale in September. Each staffer was required to sell two hundred dollars worth of advertising to remain on the staff. A turn at the concession stand also helped bring in money. Before long editors were faced with making lay-out designs and meeting deadlines. Photographers were hard pressed for that perfect picture that would cap- ture the true feeling of the event or activity. Spreads were drawn and copy written till each was near perfection. Finally with the last pages completed, the Bexleo was sent to the publishers for fall completion and the long awaited distribution to students.

The last grades went in; the transcripts were sent out. We added our own special times with friends at important school activities, like senior skip day, parties, and most im- portantly, graduation. Along with these events we included our future goals and plans. Then we closed the file cabinet; the records were complete, but our lives would keep growing. Valerie Margaret Acton — Vu-du 4-10-65.

Seniors Grow From Yesterday The way we were and what a time it was! It was a time of innocence, growing, learning, and sharing. Whether from Montrose, Cassingham, or Maryland elementary schools, seniors all shared something together: Bexley. In the beginning, fingerpainting, playing house, and making hand prints in clay were part of kindergarten. The events from Halloween parades to puppy love to the sixth grade swim- ming party became significant memories of growing up. The move to junior high was a change bringing new friend- ships. Everyone took part in various activities, including Camp Tar Hollow, Junior Assembly dances, and the Washington D.C. trip. After the first nine years of school, the Class of '83 finally reached a long-awaited goal — high school. Lisa Heiser, Shauna Steffy, and Renee Saas clown around at Halloween.

Whether it was performing in school plays or in local rock bands, helping other students in the school or participating in the several athletic events, the seniors always enjoyed their involvements. Seniors also enjoyed doing some rather out-of-the-ordinary activities such as powderpuff football and male cheerleadering. The senior class was unafraid to act as they felt and were ready to set new trends. Eydie Radugge and Lisa Gary clown around at the Halloween dance.

The daily ritual of going to class after class became boring after all the years of school. Some seniors were caught daydreaming or even sleeping in class. Others thought about the future, reminisced about the past, or just relaxed and enjoyed their final days as high school students. As graduation drew near, most seniors were eager to start their future; however, they felt they would miss the familiar environment of Bexley High School.

The class was diverse, but worked together as a whole while still managing to keep their individualism. It was a long four years for some; while for others, time seemed to pass quickly before their eyes. People grew and friends changed as did their expressions. Everyone was unique as were the expressions these classmates showed and shared. ’83 was a great year, but only because of the individualistic enthusiasm the seniors added to life.

As seniors, they sur- vived Mr. Davis’ lectures and quizzes and also a new course, Government and Economics, which was added to their daily curriculum. Quest, psychology, and science fiction became classes of interest and nearly all finished up the requirements needed for graduation. Through the years, the seniors formed their individual opinions and grew as human be- ings. Bexley classrooms proved to be a place to grow, to make friends, to learn, to prepare for the years ahead, and to reflect on the past.

Friendships Last During our freshmen year, the well-defined cliques of junior high soon disappeared as the new students began maturing. New and different friendships were built. Though the process was gradual, students began expanding their friendships. All through the high school years, most students enjoyed the comfort and support of close friends, while being active in a wide circle of friends. It would only be the close friendships, however, that will be remembered and kept after graduation. These friend- ships developed deep bonds over the years, through the loud, rowdy times as well as quiet, mellow moments. It was the close friends who helped seniors survive and enjoy the “soon ending” days at Bexley High School. � Stephen Salvato and Weeble Roth have a lot to smile about when it comes to parties. i Friends are forever for Kristin Nicholson and Christina Cappelletti.

Friday night basketball games played a big part in our weekend routine. The cheering section roared for Steve “Hondo” Williard and the rest of the team during their fine season.

The party featured Amy and the Boys,” a central Ohio band led by Bexley graduate, Rick Fisher (80), as the musical entertainment. Other activities included gambling at the casinos, watching M A S H, Animal House and the State Championship Basketball game. At 5:00A.M., the parents provided a breakfast which topped off the night. Hopefully, this special day marked the beginning of a bright and fulfilling future for all graduates of 1983.

Friendships Collect The names and backgrounds of people that we encountered during our year were an impor- tant factor in our files and add- ed a special part in our memories. These people gave us character and a sense of worth. They taught us many valuable lessons. Particularly we remembered a coach who taught us that win- ning was not everything and an algebra teacher who stayed late and helped us get through all those story problems. Most im- portantly, our friends shared our lives through both the good and bad times. ‘There is no way I can do all that in one night, says Andy Kohler.

It seemed that most of the teachers here at B.H.S. chose their occupation because of their in- terest in people and helping others. For example, Keith Klaiber, said “I do love people and I want to help them fulfill their potential and their dreams. Most of the teachers enjoyed their profession because of the students. R. G. Smith, chemistry teacher, remarked, The students are the best part; they keep me young, up to date, alive, and energetic. It’s fun to see them succeed because of something I did.” Seeing the students understanding and succeeding was very important to the teachers and that seemed to be the element that kept them in- terested in their jobs.

But, teachers had them. Some of their hobbies were unusual like Mr. Bill Jarrell’s interest in parachutes or Mr. Keith Klaiber’s singing and playing the guitar for fif- teen years. Mr. Jim Tatman had a canoeing camp in Northern Ontario. Many other teachers enjoyed camp- ing, hiking, and gardening. But some activities pertained to their jobs. For example, Ms. Teri Casperson officiated basketball; Ms. JoAnn Stearns found pleasure going to the theatre and reading. Many teachers took graduate courses.

The cooks put in their share of hard work at B.H.S. They arrived ear- ly in the morning to begin the preparation of our lunches. They put forth great effort into the making of the pizzas, salads, cookies, and many other foods. The cooks also had to see that what we ate was nutritional. After the foods were prepared, it had to be served quickly and efficiently. The cooks added a special ingredient to lunch hour. Our maintenance men deserved recognition for their jobs. Their reliability and promptness were admirable. The custodians were also impor- tant to our school. They kept it neat and orderly.

During the year, juniors coped with the problems of hectic and long schedules. The challenge of the term paper tried the students’ patience and left a lasting impression on them. A classroom which plagued most juniors was Room 311, where Mr. R. G. Smith and his “squeaky” mole resided and where hazardous ex- periments were performed. For the first time the thought of college entered the students’ minds. Juniors took the P.S.A.T. and prepared for the S.A.T. in the spring. Juniors also took part in the frustration of planning the Prom. This experience for the juniors made them one step closer to long awaited senior year. Catching a breath from ensemble is Brian Smith.___________________________________ PAGE SPONSORED BY DR. MRS. MARVIN KAPLAN AND FAMILY People Juniors Survive Keeping their traditions going, the class of ’84 again won the homecom- ing float. But holding up past records was only half the story. The junior year brought many hurdles to con- quer. The major hurdle of the year, according to Dian Rosolvic, was the College Comp, term paper. Most people lived through with only minor scrapes.

Chuck Freedman remembered “carry- ing trays for Ms. Carole Jarrell and Ms. JoAnn Stearns after lunch.” Outside the classroom, Thad Tibbies rejoiced over the Homecoming victory over Marysville, and Marie Ridgeway was excited after winning the doubles state championship with Amy Schiff. The memories the junior class had of the 1982-83 year, in and out of school, were imprinted forever. Students Like Learning During the sophomore year, the students became comfortable in their surroundings and continued to involve themselves in activities. Biology brought new experiences. Vikki Vincent and Susan Swinford enjoyed “breeding fruitflies and dissecting helpless frogs.” Shakespeare and the Renaissance Festival were favorites of Nancy Cohn and other sophomores. The class of 1985 found out that in-class activities were not so bad after all. Doug Beck holds the frog still while his lab partner Susie Kent ties its leg for a biology experiment.

For Shaun Smith these activities meant almost going to the playoffs in football with Greg Mormal and John Zidel. Sophomores did not always receive the best for their efforts, however; Jill Verona timed for the swim team, but had to settle with merely getting sopping wet. Time was not always spent being involved in activities. Debbie Turack thought some of the best times were spend- ing time after school sitting around the lawn talking with her friends. Goals Come True Some sophomores, despite the obstacles, reached their goals. Greg Williams “caught his first pass in a varsity football game.” Jim Szymc- zak once warmed up for an hour before a soccer game; the other team never showed up! The good times of “Beating Dublin’s reserve basketball team who was undefeated at the time” was the most memorable part of the year for John Wagner. While some students prac- ticed hard at a sport, Jill Weinberg found sport in pushing Coach Alan Corn into the pool during a swim practice.

Cham- pionships behind records of 20-5 and 11-4 respectively. After a flawless 11-0 league showing, the varsity girls made their way to the sec- tionals where they defeated number two seed Wherle in a hardfought contest. Of course, success was not always easy; the teams had some close matches, but their thirst for victory put them on top most of the matches. Perhaps the best part of the fact that the girls had such a successful year was that many of the lettermen will be returning along with a “fine crop of reserve players” according to Coach Teri Casperson. Captain Sylvete Gilbert was named to the All-District team and the AII-C.B.L. team and was voted the team’s most valuable player. Others from first team All-League selections were Judi Szymczak and Anne Williard. The girls voted Mary Serio the most improved player. “Don’t mess with me, states Judi Szymczak.

An impressive 16-2 regular season record was capped-off by a sweep of the State Championship in the Tournament. In what was called The Bexley Show by a local newspaper, junior Janey Cohodes recovered from an early-season shoulder injury by winning the title she had claimed as a freshman by winning the Ohio AA Singles Championship, while senior Amy Schiff and junior Marie Ridgeway won the AA doubles title. The Lady Lions managed to have this notable year despite the lack of a reserve team. This void caused many position changes throughout the season in the var- sity team to meet added competition. There was not even a set doubles team un- til near the end of the season when Ridgeway and Schiff took the ranking. Veteran players who had been there and knew what they were up against” were the key to the girls’ success, according to Click. “That ball was ini exclaims Kim McAfee.

He said that even other team coaches had told him how impressed they were by the team’s comradery. “This is something very special for a golf team since it is such an individualistic sport,” said Addy. Coach Addy attributed most of the team’s successes to the leadership of his three senior players; Captain Josh Port- man, Danny Robins, and Pat Bellamy. Ad- dy said that the seniors were good leaders and teachers for the younger players. The season was also enhanced by the team’s record of 12-2. The team went to the districts but did not place high enough for the states. “Even though we did not go to the states, this year was one of our most successful,” said Coach Addy. “The season record was impressive and we finally beat our rival, Dublin, who has been state champions for the past few years.” an, Scott Feerer.

Academy 2 From ‘‘Tic Toe” to “Good night, Harvey” to “Gyro-captain” to “Mojo Risin,” the 1982 Soccer team experienced many things together. More than a month before the opening game, the team was submitted to intense training and grueling three-a-day prac- tices, capped off by a Saturday morning “jog” to Sharon Woods that turned into a 7.2 mile torture. The monotony of these drills contrasted with the excitement of competing against other teams, and the members of the squad gained experience as well as respect from their teammates. Tom Taggart, who scored a team-high eight goals, was voted most valuable by the squad, and Brian Marsh received the most improved player award. Taggart and Mike Stone received Second Team All- League honors. Although the season was not as suc- cessful as Coach Mike Hill had hoped, the team gained valuable experience and ex- hibited better than average teamwork; but the bad breaks just out-numbered the good breaks,” he said. “We had many talented players, but to win games, sometimes, it takes a little luck, and we seemed to be somewhat cursed in that department.” I ' Bruce Pohlman clears the ball out of danger, settling goalie Scott Doak's nerves.

After losing their first game to Whitehall, the Lions swept through the rest of the regular season by winning the remain- ing nineteen games. Led by senior guard Steve Williard, whose 21 points per game was tops in the CBL, the Lions were able to outscore their opponents by 23.2 points per game. Williard was helped in the backcourt by senior Rich Gatterdam, whose shooting and 3 steals a game were both best on the team. Bexley had one of its largest front courts ever in seniors David Elliot (6'5 ) and Bob Bohn (6'5 ) along with junior Steve Calhoun (6'4 ). Elliot, whose ten rebounds a game helped spark the Lion fastbreak, was described by Head Coach Gene Millard as, “one of the best outlet men I’ve ever had!” Although the Lions will graduate four of their five starters this year, they will retain the services of Calhoun, sophomore John Betz, and juniors twin-towers Chuck Friedman and Jerry Daily.

But the team surprised everybody by compiling a record 18 wins against just 5 losses and winning their first ever sectional championship. Senior Amy Schiff, who swam last year, came back to lead the team in scoring. Schiff, who was voted the team’s Most Valuable Player, was also a first team all-district choice. Schiff received a lot of help from junior Anne Williard, senior Sylvete Gilbert, senior Judi Szymczak, and junior Amy Dressel who rounded out the starting five. Still, credit must be given to Head Coach Mario Aluise. Because of his hard work and dedication, as well as the caring he showed for his players, it was possible for the 1982-83 Lady Lions to achieve their goals this year. Intense defense by Kathy Miller shuts many of her opponents down. Amy Dressel gets set for another rebound. PAGE SPONSORED BY THE THOMAS WILLIARD FAMILY Dribbling around an opponent.

This motto, however, was not indicative ot the team's attitude according to Speciale. “They were very determined and dedicated and they wanted to win,” he said. “And they usually did get the job done; I never really had to worry about it.” With only two seniors on the twenty man squad, the team was young but very strong,” according to Speciale, finishing with a 3-3 dual meet mark and placing seventh out of 16 teams in the sectional tournament. Second year Captain Mike Rowley led the squad with a 16-1 record and the CBL Pin Opponents — Championship at 175 pounds. Rowley also captured the sectional championship, se- cond in the district, and earned the right to wrestle in the states, where he finished in the top 16. He also earned the team's vote as Most Valuable Wrestler for the second straight year. In his last three years as wrestler at Bexley, Rowley compiled a respectable 49-21 record. Among the returning will be Steve Goldman, who went 17-8 and qualified for the districts as a junior; Bernie Miller, who went 17-10 placing fifth in the sectionals and placing in every tournament of the season, and Joe Luchtenberg, who went 17-10 and also was a district qualifier. “A lot of good young wrestlers,” Speciale concluded.

The main reasons for this year’s below par record (2-5 boys, 5-3 girls) were inexperience and the lack of a good swimming facility, both of which will be corrected for next year. The inexperience, according to Corn, was due to the fact that there were only four seniors out of the total of 29 swimmers. Captain and fourth year swimmer Eric Niermeyer, along with Most Valuable Player John Hash, who broke the school record in the 100m, led the boys while Joanne Reisman and Captain Lisa Heiser paced the girls. Next year’s team will swim at the newly-built Jewish Center pool, an “ex- cellent facility,” according to Corn. He added, “Because of the new Jewish Center pool, we should really be more competitive.” Strong underclassmen to return next season include Gretchen Eiselt and Angela Kilbourne, the 1983-84 cap- tains, and Alicia Alban, this year’s Most Improved swimmer. For the boys, Scott Birrer was Most Improved and Frank Reed and Steve Funk will lead the squad.

Scott Weisman and o-captain Josh Portman, first and second ositioned singles players respectively, layed as a doubles team in the tourna- ent. Coach Jim Click paired these two op players because he felt that they could ake a more forceful effort as a team than ingly. Younger players on the team also prov- ed their talent, even with their lack of ex- perience. The two double teams of Seth Harms-Michael Furgason and Marty Stegemoeller-Paul Eisenstein “were bet- ter than doubles teams we had in the past,” commented Click. “The Eisenstein-Stegemoeller team played outstanding matches.

This was the first time in three years that the team had beaten Academy, and this success show- ed the promise of the team. The team’s strength came in the distance events with such strong runners as Richard Bezouska, Andy Benedetti, Doug Lunsford, and i Steve Huggins. The team’s other strong event was high | jump where tri-captain Pete Waldman ex- i celled. The team also had one athlete, Amos White, who moved from one event i to another wherever he was needed. White i f participated in events ranging from the I 400 meter run to the long jump. Individual efforts played a large part in the team’s performance, but the leader- ship of the captains was the key. ‘t Boys Track Team: Front row; David Brody. Jett Warren.

The team's outstanding record and performance were due to the extra ef- forts the girls gave and the quality train- ing received by Coach Jeff Schneider and his assistants. Coach Lisa Hill helped with every aspect of the team and gave individual attention to those who needed the time. Mr. Rob Kirkpatrick and Mr. Gary Stahley also added their talents to specific areas of the team. Kirkpatrick aided in the relays with the girls’ baton exchanges and starts. Stahley contributed his knowledge to the girls involved in the field events. Most of the girls attributed their performance to all the strong coaching they received. The girls proved their hard work in their performance at both the Bexley Relays and Hilltop Relays where they came in first place. A few of the many outstanding performances brought new records to the school. Karla Rutherford set school records in the 800 and 1600 meter runs. Tiffany Rodenfels also cap- tured a school record in the high jump when she jumped five feet, three inches. The variety of talents gave everyone a chance to compete, but every team member had to work especially hard to keep her position.

In the Industrial Art Department, students, looking toward exciting careers in designing and building, busily worked on new ideas for construction and architec- ture. These students participated in competitions throughout the year, highlighted by one sponsored by the Columbus Chapter of the American Institute of Architecture. In the Home Economics Depart- ment, projects ranged from cooking and sewing to understanding child development. Various field trips were taken. Basic Foods classes, for ex- ample, had a chance to watch a busy home economist at work at the Borden Building. The Fine Arts Department filled the Art Gallery with photographs, pain- tings, and sculptures. Bexley art students also participated in various competitions, including the Gover- nor’s Art Show for senior scholarship funds.

The first year was spent learning the basics, learning how to explain a “mason ideale” in French I, learning how to sing “Brother John” in Spanish I, and learning all about Roman architec- ture and civilization in Latin I. Second year students not only learned more grammar but also studied cultures while third and fourth year students read original books and poems by foreign authors. Even though English was not a “foreign” language, it was sometimes just as difficult to speak and write. Some freshmen found their tongues tied during speech class, but the language seemed even more unmanageable when thesis, antithesis, and five paragraph essays came into use during the sophomore year. For juniors, examples of works from Hawthorne and Twain offered no help in writing the dreaded col- lege composition term paper. Most seniors realized that formulating ideas was at least half the struggle in using the language effectively.

The math department in- troduced new concepts and ques- tions to trouble over for hours at night. But slowly the “x’s” and “y’s” of algebra and the proofs in geometry began to make sense. “Waterclocks” became known as a useful tool in IME laboratory. While our minds absorbed new words, our noses picked up new smells, like frogs, sharks, and crayfish soaked in formaldehyde. There were times, however, we thought the physics room had turned into the home economics room because of the delicious smell of taffy coming from there. Even though we thought we would never use such newly acquired skills, some of us found we were wrong. The extra time spent on those equa- tions and graphs paid off during the math test given by the Ohio State University. 69% of us would not need remediation in college math.

At Eastland Vocational Center, students had the opportunity to begin training in a field of their particular interest, such as welding, drafting, cosmetology, carpentry, and auto body. Students acquired skills which they hoped would gain their employment as soon as they graduated. In another alternative education plan, Fort Hayes encouraged students who exhibited special talents. Students could work in areas of drama, dance, music, television, and radio. These two schools helped students excel in areas that would not have otherwise been open to them.

Academics 149 “Twilight Zone,” “On Broadway,” and “Hang on Sloopy” were all well known songs, and all because of the band and its director Jeff Schneider. The band brought life and exhilera- tion with these songs and many others into pep rallies and sports activities. The band served the community as well with many evening concerts dur- ing the winter and spring. Students were involved in the O.M.E.A. con- test in March. At the soloist and ensemble contest at Capital Univer- sity, Michelle Schecter, trumpeter, won an excellent rating and Patty Barkaloo won superior rating. The clarinet and flute quartets also received excellent ratings. ACTIVITIES Spending extra time practicing her bassoon in the band room is Lori Hetzel.

Activities Unite The time we had for activities played a considerable part in our lives and gave material to our files which showed many sided personalities. Like other years there was a wide variety of activities to be involved in, from cheerleading to lab assisting, from dramatic performances to peer counsel- ing. All of these made us feel in- volved with the school and brought out our school spirit. Toning up on her art, varsity alternate, Robin Bhaerman practices at lunch.

One club in particular proved knowledge to be beneficial when it came to quick recall of facts. This extracurricular group was none other than the In-The-Know team. Battling mind against mind, wit against wit, the In-The-Know team successfully beat many opponents in various scrimages on television and off. With a push of the buzzer, the In-The-Know team was ready with the next answer. Daily practices during the lunch hour helped the In-The-Know team to win many vic- tories. Mastering many categories including arts, history, literature, and sports, the team was always striving to make Bexley proud. Dedication was shown by both the team members and the In-The-Know advisor, Ms. Judy Montanero, who spent many hours preparing the team for the matches.

The Play Must Go On As the auditorium darkened and the curtains opened, the stage was set for the drama club’s fall production of Neil Simon’s play God’s Favorite. Although the cast and crew had had doubts about the outcome of the produc- tion, the opening night finally was here. Despite conflicts among the people involved, a resolution was found. One of the major problems was the drama club’s adjustments to another new director, Ms. Vicky Wentz. After this production the drama club performed Carousel in the spring. They also took on the task of rechartering a Thespian Club. The club attended various workshops, such as “A Life in the Theater,” which sparked more interest in drama.

One of these motivated groups was the Art Club. Incorporating skill along with fun, the Art Club worked as a team to ac- complish many projects. Art Club members compiled the Buzz-A-Buddy booklet along with helping the Drama Club throughout the year with posters and publication. While many clubs at B.H.S. met right after school, Art Club met on a weekly basis on Monday nights. Three seniors excelling in art received awards at the end of the year for their work. Lisa Rosen won the Art Cup along with the Kristen Freeman Memorial Art Scholarship. Steve Salvato and Steve Williams received the Macey Masoner Scholarship in Art for their outstanding work.

Activities 157 Reviewing the poems on the overhead for the Lamplight are Christy Prahl, Amy Hackman, Susan Larrimer, and Monica Saur. Talented Students Prevail Creativity in writing and art were also an important part of Bexley High School. The Lamplight, the literary magazine, was a way in which creative students at BHS could express themselves. Numerous expressive stories and poems were found in the pages of the Lamplight. Comprised into one issue, this year’s Lamplight was filled with more innovative and imaginative works than ever before. Artwork was also an important part of this year’s Lamplight, led by co-editors, Hilary Thalman and Amy Hackman. Along with the editors, the rest of the staff prov- ed to be hardworking. The staff split up into three sections: publicity, selections, and layout. To raise money for the magazine, lollipops were sold in the fall. The drive proved successful in aiding the funding of the magazine. Along with the creative talent of the Lamplight, another group of students proved that hard work can pay off in the end. The Math Department this year participated in various math competitions with Bexley participants scor- ing high. Concentration on mathematical formulas helped Bexley achieve the highest accumulative score of all Central Ohio schools based on their ranking in a series of six contests. Students of Bexley also enjoyed participating in the Foreign Language Club. At a banquet in the spring at Casetta Romana, students took a break from all their hard work to enjoy a delicious Italian meal.

Skiers Became “Pros” Even though Ohio encountered one of the warmest winters in its history, about 100 students each Friday boarded two buses which took them to Clearfork ski resort in Butler, Ohio. The warm winter forced the use of artificial snow. To the skiers’ dismay, only one advanced hill and the beginner slope were open a number of Friday nights. Good times were shared by all despite the bad condi- tions. Especially memorable were the bus rides, where on one occasion the bus broke down and the skiiers were stranded. Along with the bus problems, the skiers found problems inside the lodge. The long rental lines and the crowded lodge made an already difficult chore of prepar- ing to ski even worse. But once the problems of the bus ride and rentals were solved, the students hit the slopes, in more ways than one. After many weeks of practice, the skiers became “pros,” and only fell every other time down the hill. Ski Club: Front row; T. K.

But, without the cheerleaders these spirit raising say- ings would not have been part of our vocabulary. During the summer the cheerleaders learned new ideas at camp and showed their efforts at Northland Mall. All three squads brought spirit into the school also through the ac- tivities they sponsored: a beach party dance and homecoming activities.

Activities 165 Before the thought of school even entered most students minds the drill team started to practice and per- form their routines. At camp Lionettes learned new steps and routines for their fall activities. The Lionettes marched in the Bexley Fourth of July parade and showed their talents in the annual band and drill team competition at the Ohio State Fair. The many hours of practice turned into elaborate half-time shows during football season. During the fall Ohio State honored the corps and their advisor, Ms. Isobel Inglis, by having them perform during the halftime at one of their basketball games. Students Help Out Teachers had so many activities and projects to finish that without the aid they received from student assistants they would have been far behind on their work. Students took time out from their schedules to lend a helping hand. They helped in a wide variety of areas ranging from lab assistants to mat stats. In the science department students assisted in getting labs prepared and ready for classes, and they even set up computer programs to go along with the labs. The office helpers delivered messages for both students and teachers and helped to keep the of- fice in order. The process of checking out books was no longer a problem for Ms. Edith Prendergast when the library assistants took over that task. Without the aid of the mat stats, the wrestlers’ stats would have been in- complete and worthless. Student assistants took care of both the needs of the teachers and the interest of the students.

SNACK BA r Activities Bring Experience The impulse and need to help were not the only elements that encouraged students to help out in their various ways. Most of the time the students had an interest and knowledge in the areas of their aid. One student who enjoyed his assisting was Steve Luper, who took care of all the audio and visual equipment in the school. He made it his job to take care of and maintain the equipment. Steve’s interests in this area came from his background, which involved many aspects of electronical equipment. Scott Dempsey, a lab assistant, also had the chance to use his science skills. He aided Mr. R. G. Smith with his chemistry labs; he prepared the solutions for the labs and created computer programs for verifying the lab’s data. In the area of learning, some students were not only on the receiving side, but occasionally they were on the giving side. One student for example who helped was Peggy Benedetti, who tutored both fourth grade students and foreign students. She enjoyed this because of the “rewards and the experiences of teaching.” i� iP ®� � C.L.U.G. Auditor : Front row; Scott Dempsey, David Gust.

We learned what was ex- pected from us and what goals to strive for and the difference between wrong and right. We were taught the meaning of pride and honor in our sur- roundings. We learned to strive for the best and we received it. Students in Ms. Mary McMullen's fourth grade class at Cassingham perfect their reading skills.
