From the other schools where I've been principal, I know, here students have a serious relationship with their teachers.” The year started smoothly. Dr Alan Corn said, This was one of the best beginnings out of 14 years. The schedules being sent out early helped the students. The kids were excited to learn. They were receptive to the teachers, to what they had to say. Everyone was ready to learn. While most agreed, Ross Tague said, The brain in the beginning is clogged. Around November, the blood starts pumping; the brain starts to function. Tony Thurn added, “The beginning of the year you get back to old friends. But you have to quit work. The problem is homework takes up too much time. Rachel Shapiro agreed, “getting used to a set schedule is hard. Good friends are what school is all about according to Carin Channing and Shane Phil- lian, (Top) Chris Miller and Julie Fate.

(Above) Computers Come To Bexley J by Margot Kyle With the opening of the school, came the opening of a computer lab, The Write Place. Located in the old typing room on the first floor, 28 computers and 19 printers made an instant hit. Under the direction of Michael Hartenstein, the lab was open for seven periods a day, with an English teacher present each period to provide assistance with writing. Sign up sheets located in the lab assured students computer use or tutoring. The arrangement worked well and the demand was so great that students occupied the lab before and after school and even on Saturday af- ternoons. According to teachers, students became more inter- ested in writing; grades went up and a positive attitude was had by all. Activities Are Successful by Margot Kyle Homecoming, prom, Torch and Lamplight — all of these were a part of Student Life. School related activities added to everyone's day. Seventh period everyday Bexleo and Torch staff members met to work on their publications. Writing stories, working on layouts and crop- ping pictures were a part of every day activities in Rooms 109 and 110. Meetings were held at lunch time and after school for committees organizing Homecoming and Prom festivities. Groups worked to select music and decorations for both events, trying to involve the entire student body. New and old clubs worked to gain support. Peer coun- selors and SADD held dances and assemblies to gain new members and community support. The teen center, the Outback, provided many student activities which en- hanced student life.

With this new season also arrived the 1987 Fall Homecoming. This con- sisted of floats, powderpuff, and the naming of the 1987 Fall Homecom- ing Queen. On October 11, the names Sarah Arnett, Beth Buchenroth, Julie Cal- houn, Erin Connor, Julie Friedman, Connie Lewin, Paula Meyer, Karen Rosenblum, Andi Shell, and Rachel Sigall stood as Top Ten. When asked how she felt about this honor, Paula Meyer stated, “I was really surprised, and it felt great that I was a part of something so special. ” Later that week, Focht read off the names of Calhoun, Friedman, Lewin, Rosenblum, and Sigall to round out the Top Five. After this moment, the girls knew that they would have to wait until Friday to see who would be the new queen. After being crowned by cross country captain, Jeff Loucks, Connie Lewin smiles to the crowd.

The girls, trained for powder puff; the class of '88 triumphing over the class of '89. The senior powder puff victory was fol- lowed by the outside pep rally, victorious senior tug-of-war, and bonfire. With no school on Friday, students spent all night and day finishing up their floats for the homecoming parade. Of- ficially sophomore took first place, but the seniors voted their own float best abstract representation of a theme. After defeating London in football, Queen Connie led the school to the Homecoming Dance, Only In My Dreams”.

Compared to last year, senior editor, Amy Feiertag said that this year was much more organized because deadlines were earlier. The staff sold the magazine in February as compared to last year in May. The Bexleo staff had their fair share of work this year. New computer tac- tics had to be mastered as well. Dead- line time brought first frustration, then delight. Waiting for an early fall delivery was the last assignment. The Torch continued its dominance of Na- tional awards winning the top prize in every competition it entered. With forty three on the staff, including twenty three on the editorial staff, the monthly paper maintained a delicate balance of work and play. Advisor Peg Zidonis said, “They re- ceived no academic credit for Torch , but they still put in the time and effort.” The Lamplight put together student writing, art, and photography into a lit- erary magazine made completely through Jennifer Hockenbery and Rhonda Hise, Torch page editors, make a list of their next in- terviewers for their articles, (top) Ms. Harriette Kraus and Amy Feiertag dis- cuss Lamplight lay-outs.

Cast sets up 4077 On November fourteenth, drama club presented a realistic view of the 4077 Mobile Army Surgical Hospital during the Korean War The cast and the set both contributed greatly to the overall perfor- mance. The talented students enhanced the play. Bill Early as Colonel Blake was a perfect representation of an army official. He humored the audience with his ap- pearance and jokes. He showed the au- dience how crazy an officer can become after several months saving lives and liv- ing in a tent. The play was originally the forerunner to the movie and popular television show M A S H. The actors and actresses close- ly resembled the portrayals of the char- acters in the familiar television version. The set of the swamp and the interior of the compound including lockers, bunk- beds, and benches created a realistic view of the mobile hospital backed by a drop of mountain scenery to resemble Korean countryside. Kelly Katcher said, The cast put much effort into their parts capturing the hu- morous and serious aspects of the play.” Julie A. Friedman Trapper, Hawkeye, Father Malcahy, and Radar dis- cuss important camp matters on the set of MASH. Crew and actors prepare for the premiere.

Early and Ball steal laughs The notes of the 1940's musical South Pacific sailed through the auditorium April 29 and 30. It was obvious that all the hard work and dedication of the actors and crew had paid off by the sound of the audience's thunderous applause. The story basically centered on two romances: the first between Ensign Nellie Forbush, played by Amy Donnellan, and a handsome French painter, Emile DeBec- que, played by Greg Allen. The two ran into their share of problems, among them the fact that DeBecque had two Poly- nesian children. Their saga ended happily when Emile returned from a dangerous military venture, and Nellie finally realized how important he was to her. The second romance occurred when a young American lieutenant, Joe Ca- ble, played by Pat Rice, landed on the South Pacific island. A native woman, Bloody Mary, played by Julie Ball, im- mediately set her sights on the officer for her daughter, Liat, played by Jenni Goldsmith. Liat and Cable fell in love. Cable, however, decided that he could not marry Liat because she was a Pol- ynesian. The show was a dramatic comedy, with comic relief provided especially by Ball and Early. Taking the lead in this scene is Steve Herbst Orchestra member, Nate Earl, hangs loose after some serious trumpeting during the play. Rob Leffler takes a breather after a crucial scene in South Pacific . Who’s got the time? Time. Some consider it the fourth dimension. Some have too much of it, while the majority of people have too little of it. Even so, the fact still remains that everyone's life revolves around it — being on time. Some use it to their advantage. Others often curse it. In high school, time is bells, and if the student has not mastered the bells, then he she is in for a lot of trouble. Nobody really wanted to be tardy. It was just that the students' desire to go to school on time was overridden by the desire to sleep or have a relaxing lunch period. Sometimes tardiness was unplanned and the student was not at fault. The homeroom bells rings. Brent Johnson has an excuse in hand. Ms. Marty Henshaw, attendance officer, stamps an- other late note. Brett Leukart, T.J. Snyder, Matt Kent, and Celene Rhoten wait in line to get excused. Jon Elias, Mark Talis, and David Yenkin break curfew. Vicki Hamer, Holly Vokoun, and Carrie Wenger takes time out to express their friend- ship. Weekends are for escaping After five hard days at school, Bexley students looked for time to relax. During the weekend, students found various ac- tivities to relieve the stress of their busy week. Anything from babysitting to see- ing a movie to getting together with friends provided the essential recess. “I can't wait for the weeend; said Con- nie Lewin, “it’s my time, a time to be with my friends. Seth Rogers agreed, My Bexley Eve. New Year's Eve — the biggest weekend of the year friends and I like to get together, espe- cially at night, and have a good time!” This year students had another option, the Outback. Students could go there even during the week to play pool, watch movies, or just sit around and talk. But regardless of where students went or what they did, they always had a good time. As David Yenkin summed it up, I love weekends! Homecoming Committee: Lisa Warren, Sarah Arnett, Emily Myers, Staci Myers, Brooke White.

On Thursday, e whole school voted for the teacher court of hearts. No surprises again this year: King — Mr. Nial Davis, Queen — Ms. Carole Jarrell, Ace — Mr. Dave Fey, Joker — R.G. Smith, and Jack (most spir- ited) — Ms. JoAnn LaMuth. Friday was the big day. Because in the past, few students participated in the dai- ly dress-up days, Friday was made the only dress-up day, red and white day. The main events of the day were the election of the Homecoming King and the pep rally at the end of the day. The Homecoming game against North Union was the climax. Mike Moriarty was crowned King and led the Lions to victory over the Wildcats on the court. The Sadie Hawkins Dance took place Saturday night completing a fan- tastic Homecoming Week.

With 182 graduates, it had been the largest class since they entered as freshmen. Class President, Greg Allen, held the post three years in a row. Their freshman and sophomore years, they won first place in the Homecoming float competition. They were also the Powder Puff champions three years in a row, defeating classes which had never lost before. Class spirit and participation was great in every activity approached. They pulled together and helped each other out and because of the strong foundation they built, they hopefully would find success and happiness in the future. S'V . Elizabeth C. Baumann.

The first two games were typical: the juniors beat the freshmen 8-0, and the seniors beat the sophomores 32-0. The class of '88 had dominated the powder puff scene ever since they were freshmen, and this year was no exception. Their school spirit and philosophy of Fight to Win led this strong class of '88 to a 38-0 victory over the juniors. The weakness of the juniors, too little practice and too few players assured victory by the large blood-thirsting senior team. Everyone seemed to win, though. Even the spectators were caught in the spirit. The attitude associated with Powder Puff propelled the ritual on into the future. Even when they were sophomores, these girls knew that for the next three years they would be undefeated Before the championship starts, Angie Schmader, Mike Moriarty, and Amy Poast have no doubts that seniors rules, (top) The senior class show that they AGAIN are powderpuff champions Planning out their strategy, the senior team huddles up one more time before the game Wearing their new powderpuff t-shirts, Noelle Sheeran, Sandy Mitchell, Julie Myers, and Beth Collins are confident about another victory.

They worked for the experience, but most of all for the extra money. In summer several seniors worked downtown in law and business offices. Wearing a tie and jacket to work eve- ryday was a new and unusual ritual for these seniors. Yet, Rachel Sigall, Kim Winer, and others worked all day in the sun. They were lifeguards at the Bexley Pool. Still other seniors were surrounded by food all day. Pat Clark, Nate Earl, Nancy Creiglow, and others served ice cream and hamburgers at Dairy Queen. During the school year, fewer seniors had jobs. When summer approached, the job hunt began once again. At Evans and Schwarz, Marie Myers watches a toddler's delight at her new pair of tennies. The tie-dye business paid off well for Mike Shook and Mark Talis. Jeannie Szymczak brightens other people’s days by sending them flowers from Connell's.

From their different activities to their goals and dreams, they took their separate path to suc- cess. Some of them chose to be independent and make their own money, while others took advantage of their remaining free time. We were a diverse class. Our talent was represented in academics, atheletics, drama, and extra curricular activ- ities. We knew how to have a good time, but we also knew when it was time to get serious,” said one senior. Another added, We were a class of leaders. Our strong personalities pulled us through the year. When it was six degrees outside with absolutely no heat in the school, we seniors did not complain. We hung in there ” There was no stopping the seniors in accomplishing their goals, whether it was in academics or activities. Arlck Martin. Ladies and gentlemen.

When Beth Baumann was asked what she thought of senior parties, she stated, “They graduated with the class of 1987, but we're doing our best. While many people put out the welcome mat to their homes, others retreated to various locations. There were restaurants and, of course, “The Outback.

F R 1 E N D S All you really need ... One of the most important acquisitions a senior gained in his or her four years of high school was the friendships that he or she made. Students had the opportunity to meet a variety of people through all the school functions held. This year's seniors had done just that. Sports had always provided a base for friendships as did foreign language and other clubs. Powder Puff was the perfect bond for those seniors with spirit. Many friendships were those that were made in el- ementary school while some were formed during these “wonderful” high school years. Either way, these friend- ships were top notch. Seniors had their priorities straight: friendships were forever. Julie Friedman Jodi Bauman and Stacey Myers graciously wish peace and prosperity to all.

Seniors knew the value of hard work and were motivated to excel in the classroom. They were able to discuss intelligently in classes such as senior biology, advanced physics, world history and calculus. They dominated in classes like trigonometry and humanities. Although the competition was intense, they managed to enjoy themselves at the same time. Whether they were flying kites in physics or building full industries in government, seniors had the right combination of enthusiasm and cre- ativity. m 63 Senioritis? “ Everyday I get my coat a little earlier, in hopes of getting out a little earlier. — Leslie Pink Senioritis is not so much a malady as it is a realization that all of the things you have been doing for twelve years are completely mean- ingless. ‘ ' — Jeff Loucks I have no more energy to do anything related to school. — Kevin Huffman And I am quoteless. ” — Jim Cushman I got it!’’ — Hilary Schwartz Connie Lewin, Mike Shook, and Paula Meyer nap to catch up on sleep lost during vacation.

But for seniors, an extreme case began at the end of their junior year as they watched previous seniors develop senioritis. Seniors, always a breed apart from the other students, became restless. As soon as second se- mester transcripts had been sent to colleges, each sunny day cleared the first floor. The Monday and Friday af- ternoon absence lists grew and the commended scholar list shrank. Apathy grew in the classroom as seniors quick- ly realized they had no more exams. Senioritis was the excuse seniors used to relax and savor their last months of high school. Curtis Taft-Gold Cup winner As the end of the year drew near, the art gallery sported the artistic talent of the senior class for the Senior Art Show. Many students demonstrated work in a variety of mediums. I have entered about twelve pieces ranging from water colors to acrylics and pencil sketching,'' stated Bill Early. Art work came as sculpture of clay, charcoal drawings, and spray painting. Awards were presented during the senior assembly, May 27. The competition had been intense. Curtis Taft won the Gold Cup, while Jill Sutton was second runner-up, and Katherine Chuko, first runner-up. Bill Early and Karen Tracy won the Marcy Masoner Award. Jill Sutton's exhibition in the Governor's Show won her the Governor's Cup. Sutton, Chuko, and Mike Buckley were recognized in the Southern Hotel High School Art Show.

Chal- lenges appeared to each and every youth, whether fresh- men or senior. SAT's were the major conversation factor among the juniors and the seniors while the CAT’s busied the freshmen and the PSAT’s, the sophomres. There were also many changes in the curriculum. Ad- vanced economics allowed those seniors who had pre- viously taken government to gamble with their luck once again in the fascinating world of CLUG. Students were also fortunate enough to attend the first annual college fair in Bexley. Not all of these challenges that were met went un- noticed.

A C A D E M 1 C S Honor societies induct new members In May National Honor, Cum Laude, and Quill and Scroll societies inducted members. These highly selective societies have long held high standards for selection. This year the selection process for NHS changed. Teachers received personal profile sheets and checked the statements which applied to the student. Areas of leadership, character, and service, and scholarship determined acceptance. To be inducted into Cum Laude as a junior, a student needed a 3.75 GPA and status in the top ten percent of the class. However, a senior only needed a 3.5 GPA and within the top 20 percent of the class. This year’s inductees were honored at the Athletic Club of Columbus on May 18th. The students in Quill and Scroll, chosen from the staffs of Bexleo, Torch, and Lamplight, had to be in the upper third of their class and show superior work in some phase of journalistic publication.

Journalism Cup: Kevin Huffman, Katherine Chuko ITK enjoys winning year One thing I liked about In the Know was not the vicarious excitement that the spectators received at a match, but the excitement that the players got from com- peting, Ben Trotter, In the Know advisor remarked. In fact, the In the Know audience offered a more private subdued atmosphere than one would experience at a basketball or football game — popcorn was not sold, and fans did not cheer. But the intensity between teams and between individual players was just as great. The 1987-88 season was quite a prodigious one for the team. Its 5-3 record won it a trophy for most improved team, and senior Pat Clark was named team all — star. Clark said of the team, “ This year’s performance was a pleasant surprise and a complete turn-around for us; we are all very pleased with our efforts. It was obvious that next year's team would have large shoes to fill. Trotter summed up this feeling by stating, We are losing some excellent senior players this year, but I hope for good results with next year's varsity players.” PEJSOIU A little friendly competition makes In the Know fun for Pat Clark.

Not only did students from local high schools attend on the night of April 19, but also college representatives from many states came to share their knowledge with pro- spective students. According to counselor Bill Boden, 'The fair was well attended by parents, students, and representatives from both large state institutions and private schools. The committee that organized the event did a terrific job — the buffet beforehand for the representatives made Bexley into a very human environment. Indeed, both students and representatives seemed to enjoy their discussions with the various colleges. And with approximately fifty schools to choose from, much discussion was underway. Chris Forman, happy with the selection, remarked, “I was happy to see Case Western Reserve there, as well as some other schools I am interested in.” The eager students went from booth to booth, asking questions, and collecting brochures and applications materials. During his venturing at the fair, Seth Mitchell stated, “I'm a little disappointed that my favorite college isn’t here, but I did get some great information on other schools which will help me with my selection process.” At the college fair, Anne Baker is taken by the study abroad program.

Homework All students have had days when they felt like all the teachers had gotten together and decided to pile on the homework for the night. One junior felt that teachers did not take other classes into consideration when assigning homework. But, one English teacher asserted that homework was necessary to reinforce the material covered in class. Jenni Goldsmith believed that the worst year for homework was in her junior year, with the most difficult classes. Most agreed that working in study hall or in the library was an ideal place to complete assingments without major interruptions. At home, most students retreated to their rooms to finish their work while listening to the television or radio. With hours of homework to get through, their favorite show or song kept them studying. Britty Foote finds her math test to be a little harder than she anticipated. Jon Nanberg likes to be relaxed while doing homework. rs. 1 H 0 M E w 0 R K Eliza Howey, Megan Ryan, and Katie Romanoff find studying for a test more beneficial in threes.

Students tour France After two long days of flying home, it was pretty hard to tell what a good time the people that went to France had. But the spirit of the trip showed through as pictures reminded them of their week abroad. Brad May summed up the feelings of many of those on the trip, It was a little of what I had expected and a lot of what I did not expect. It was a great trip and one that I would take again.” Students experienced the culture of Paris as well as that of the many small cities whether they were on tours or wandering around with friends. The teachers and tour guide added more fun and education to the trip. Everyone enjoyed the diversity of France, from the peacefulness of Mont St. Michel to the fast pace of the Paris streets. The memories were vivid for Jennifer Hockenbery, The trip brought everything we learned in class together, and more. Despite a lot of rain, France was more beautiful than I ever thought it could be.” — Rachel Shapiro t Inna Simakovsky and Rachel Shapiro enjoy the gar- dens of Chenonceaux, even in the persistant rain.

From field trips to the peer counseling carnival, academics did not necessarily mean sitting in the classroom Field trips encouraged students and, according to Chris Bauer, gave students first hand experiences. Books could not provide all the knowledge necessary to understand a subject, as senior biology students found on their various field trips. Of course, school was not only for learning academics. School groups like the peer counselors helped other students learn to deal with problems and pressures inside and outside of school. The annual peer counseling carnival was a great way to raise money to continue their efforts, while having a good time. Another annual event was senior activities day, a time for the seniors to get together and be with old friends. The language club has a good time while raising some money during the peer counseling carnival.

Julie Wilson takes it easy while she finishes her paper for English. Write Place Proven Successful This year, the English department came up with an exciting innovation, called The Write Place. According to Carole Jarrell, head of the English department, it was, “a place where students could find an expert, receptive audience for feedback on writing in process. At The Write Place, students had reference books, word processors, worksheets, and tip sheets at their fingertips. But most important was the one-on-one tutoring that The Write Place provided. Students received help on prewriting strat- egies, revising drafts, identifying usage and grammatical errors, formulating and developing a thesis, and other parts of the writing process. The key, according to English teacher, Joanne LaMuth, was that, Students should come in right away when they find a problem. They shouldn't wait until the last minute. Help was not in short supply, for The Write Place was open Monday through Thursday, periods one through seven. The Write Place received rave reviews from students. Connie Lewin felt that it was, a good idea, especially for people who need help on college essays. Seth Rogers, thinking about the future, predicted, I would use it to discover any mistakes before my teacher does. Rachel Shapiro thinks highly of The Write Place, I like it. It helps me decide if my compositions are good or not; this way I have a second opinion.” — Lorin Graef Freshmen take a break from working Ms. Isobel Young looks over her itinerary and counts the days until she leaves for France. Ms. Jean Frye encourages discussion and questions. It's really about People Each year people come and people go. New comers and life time Bexley residents made up the Bexley student body. The year brought several new teachers as well. Freshmen came in nervous and anxious; sophomores found high school really was not that bad; juniors looked back at the mountain of courses they had climbed. Eve- ryone found they depended on each other for success.

Most students always thought of teachers as people who could not make mistakes. It was refreshing to discover that they were mortal. R.G. Smith recalled when a student found a mistake in the textbook that he co-wrote. He also remembered the time he was demonstrating an exper- iment with themite and the reaction vaporized the entire table. First impressions proved to be mis- leading sometimes. Principal Kip Greenhill showed that he had a littel bit of the joker in him when he tossed a water balloon to Judy Montanaro and are human she did not catch it. He was forced to clean up the water in front of the whole class. Mr. Bill Jarrell remembered his first time coaching football when he tried to show off by leaping over a fence. The crowd got a big laugh when he got stuck and fell flat on his face. Ripping pants was a common ex- perience among the staff and admin- strators. Greenhill was forced to give a locker room pep talk in his underwear. Mr. Craig Kramer attempted to staple his pants together so he could prevent further embarrassment. When Mr. Ben Trotter locked his clothes in a locker, the teachers had a great show. Bexley teachers may seem like homework machines, but they have certainly had their moments.

Changes came as a new laboratory for writing was installed, new classes were offered, and new teachers were hired. A new history course and the opening of American his- tory to sophomores required a new teach- er, Ms. Lorertta Schwalm. An international American history computer study on the anniversary of the American constitution filled students in one of Mr. Dean Chap- pelle's classes first semester. The addition of Ms. Denise Rutkousky helped meet growing demands for tutors. She also helped out after school, coming to the aid of cheerleader advisor, Ms. Sandy Rainey. Mr. Mike Hartenstein was hired by the administration to oversee the in- stallation of a computer laboratory. But changes not only came with a growing curriculum, but also in the line of replacements. A vacancy in vocal music brought in Ms. Susan Feher who also took charge of the drama productions. Ms. Jean Fry came into the English department, and Ms. Judy Fletcher replaced Ms. Sabrina Pugh on maternity leave in the home economics department. Ms. Cece Robins and Mr. Jerry Addy came over from the junior high to cover positions in speech and math. Ms. Jean Fry answers questions.

On the surface they exhibited cool, objective exteriors, but on the inside they were exploding with energy. In fact they probably had more school spirit than the whole student body. For instance, some teachers were coaches. Dr. Alan Corn, a teacher who has been known for his zest and zeal, coached the swim teams. Other teachers found different ways to involve themselves with school and to inspire school spirit in their students. Peg Zidonis has been head of Bexley's newspaper, The Torch, and has guided her staff to produce a first class pub- lication. Student clubs needed the guidance, support, and enthusiasm of teachers too. Ben Trotter has taken on such an important task by being acting head of the Social Studies Club. FHis advice has spurred many of his students. These are only a few of the teachers who have encouraged students to take pride in their school and to become active participants. Without all of their guidance and support, there would be no school spirit.

Students had graduated from being unappreciated underclass- men to facing an even scarier pros- pect, having to leave high school! As one junior said, “It’s the year of preparation, exhilaration, and frus- tration. The preparation was the hard part: taking PSAT's, ACT'S, and SAT’s; choosing courses that looked impressive on a college ap- plication; watching grade point av- erages like a hawk for an fractional increase that might help one get into the college of choice.

And the year after that there were even better hori- zons: the idea of real independence, classes that did not start until noon, frat dudes in tight pants, and son- ority babes sunning on the lawn. When one junior considered all this, he said, I guess the work is worth it. The only frustrating part of this dream was it would have to wait another year. L Sadly missed — J.D.

But to most, the junior year brought a little bit more free- dom because they finally passed their driving test. Most students agreed that their junior year was the most challenging year of their high school career and look to next year with great enthu- siasm.

Michelle Levin felt, Being a soph- omore had disadvantages and ad- vantages. I had a lot more work but we were no longer called ‘freshmen.’ ” Since the adjustment was an easy one, students could work harder to improve academic and athletic achievements.

I- V Memories The 1987-88 school year was a year of changes and achievements for the sophomores. Once again the class of ninety won the float com- petition during winter homecoming Sophomores proved to be a suc- cess in the classroom as well while learning to do geometric proofs and participating in the Bexley tradition of the annual frog dissection. The school year was full of firsts for sophomores. For the first time soph- omores took PACT'S, a standard- ized test for tenth graders Also 1987 was the first year that soph- omores could take U.S. History. These achievements and changes made this year a memorable one for the class of 90 107 Benjy Almasanu John Back Mark Backus Nick Bader Cheryl Bailey Nicole Baker Brian Bannon Dan Barr Shawn Barton Michelle Berkowitz Jason Blazar Xali Bomlitz-Katz Kevin Campbell Eric Carmeron Laurie Cenci Adam Chandler Alicia Cheses Keri Cohen Peter Connor Chris Cook Jarred Coopersmith Nicole Cordell Carrie Cramer Carrie Dargusch Angie Davis Chris Davis Eric Davis Maggie Davis Debbie DeLuca Erin Duemey Mary Dunham Arlyn Durschnitt Adam Eisenberg Sydney Elmer Teri Epstein Katy Estes Jeff Feiertag Matt Foster Amy Franciso Erin Freshwater Seth Furrow Natalie Ganon Melanie Garnerr Jennifer Garvin Liz Gill Neil Glass Gail Gockenbach Amy Gorden Lyn Gramza Steve Grobben Cathleen Hamer Kara Hardesty Erica Hayden Jennifer Haylor Brendt Haynes Jenny Heise Nathan Hess Seth Hoffman Tim Hogan James Howarth Eliza Howey Josh Howey Rick Huggins 108 |f|r|e|s|h|m|e|n Freshmen Class Officers: Erin Janis, Megan Ryan, I Carrie Cramer, Katie Romanoff Andy Ruben, Jason Freeman, and David Radke discuss their weekend plans while enjoying their lunch, Mary Dunham finds algebra class to be enlightening. Different, better, more respected Freshmen who were surveyed gave the following comments about their experiences being in high school. One student commented that he made new friends. Another liked the responsibility of “more privi- leges. A third claimed to enjoy an “easy schedule.” One student, look- ing at upperclassmen, was glad to have a lot of time before he got into the real world — more time than everyone else. Overall the com- ment that captured most fresh- men's feelings was that they were “different, better, more respected than before.” Year brings memories Anyone who walked down the third floor hall early in the morning would see many friendly freshmen gath- ered together discussing the pre- vious night's events and the upcom- ing weekend. During assemblies, one heard cheers and loud claps whenever freshmen were honored. During Powderpuff games the fresh- men showed spirit and enthusiasm in their competition. The freshmen showed enthusiasm in going door to door to see magazines and raised $10,000 for their treasury. Best of all, freshmen showed spirit brought success in athletic competition and studies.

Freshman differ on role Most freshmen liked being freshmen for as two students said, “We find joy in our upperclassmen.’’ Fresh- men also liked being freshmen be- cause there were more extra cur- ricular activities to do than in junior high. Another student liked being a freshman because “being a fresh- man was challenging One said, The teachers expected a lot from me, and I had to work hard.” Others, however, did not like be- ing freshmen. Most of these did not like being freshmen because of the negative attitude people had toward people who were freshmen. One ex- ample of this occurred when a fresh- man got a bad grade on a test and someone who was not a freshman commented, Oh, he's just a fresh- man! Some other comments were Who are you? Oh, you're just a freshman. A common comment was Hi, little freshman. Altogether being a freshman was fun and exciting and most people liked high school more than junior high despite some of the negative comments.

This word is as much Bexley as academics. In tact, many felt athletics was nearly as important as learn- ing about reading, writing and arithmetic. Athletes gained discipline. Every team labored through many practices before beginning actual competition. The individuals learned responsibility. Individual let-downs made the whole team suffer. Another lesson was companionship. Throughout the season teammates became closer. Everybody was in it together. Finally and most importantly, athletes learned about themselves. They found out who they were.

According to co-Captain Jeff Loucks, “The top five stayed close concentrating on the team's time rather than on personal times.’' “Not many people understand the discipline involved in being a fit runner, stated team member Kevin Huffman. “A participant must run an average of seven miles a day to complete the 3.1 mile course with an acceptable time. The conditioning helps the runners endure through wind, rain and frigid temperatures . “We should have gone farther this season with our talent and enthusiasm. Not winning the CBL was a major loss to all of us,” runner Peter Magaro stated. With the loss of many seniors, next year's young team will have their work cut out for them.

Johnson named “Back of the Year” The Lions took the CBL title by thrashing back after an 0- 4 start to finish 6-4. It was just a matter of time for us to get going As soon as we tasted victory at Jonathon Alder and North Union, we knew we could win the rest of our games,’’ quarterback Jim Gordon stated. This was the third straight CBL championship for Bexley after a slow non league start. The Lion's success rested with the offense led by tailback, Brent Johnson He ran around and through the defenders to break every Bexley rushing record and earn back of the year (AP.UPI) for division three in Ohio According to some opposing coach- es, Johnson was Bexley who ruled without an offensive line, but Hecox felt differently. He admitted that the of- fensive line was inexperienced at the start of the year, but they matured into a very good line. The Lion's youth showed as the Lions only scored nearly thirty points in their first four games. But as time passed, the offense became more potent in their last six games. While Johnson was touching the ball, fullback, Shawn Straub, wingback, Chris Davy, tightends, John Bunker and Luke Wendt, and quarterbacks, T.J. Synder and Gordon, picked up the slack. The defense started off slow, also. After giving up well over one hundred and twenty points in the first four con- tests, they only yielded about a third of that in the re- maining games. Lineback, John Sauer, led the team in tackles and defensive back Brian Range led the team in interceptions. Defensive end, John Bunker, got the de- fense on the scoring column as he scooped up a fumble and made a touchdown. Also leading the defense were linebacker .Straub, defensive backs, Davy and Tony Vance, as well as Bill Early and Mike Zettler at guards. Brad May F 0 0 T B A L L PAGE SPONSORED BY MR. and MRS.

Mr. Steve Hauffman, the boys' tennis coach accepted the position. The season started rigorously with losses to several strong AAA schools. However, torwards the end of August, Bexley's strength started showing when the team de- feated Watterson 3-2. This was the beginning of the Lady Lions'victorious season. The team won the CBL Title. Shelby Cheses and Allison Schlonsky qualified for Sectionals, but were defaulted by the officials after arriving a few minutes late. Richard Armstrong, director of the Ohio High School Athletic As- sociation, gave no revocation although Hauffman appealed the decision. Dominique Berman and Connie Lewin, though, represented Bexley High School in the State Tour- nament. Reflecting on the season, Hauffman said, Coaching the girls was like being on an emotional rollercoaster. Some moments I'd like to forget and some I will treasure forever.

The team ended the season with an eight and two record in the CBL Tournament, one of the best Bexley has had. Addy felt the players showed more consistency than he expected, considering the team lost several seniors. Mr. Craig Bailey, who assisted Addy, said, “The players showed an overall improvement. Both coaches felt the team worked well together. Bexley did have one player qualify for the Regionals, Jamie Rodenfels. Rodenfels ranked seventh overall shoot- ing an eighty five. Rodenfels viewed this year as a “learning experience for the team. Similarly, sophomore Jim Elsass felt, The team had the ability but didn't work to its potential.

The Lions were 5-10-1, losing eight of their ten games by one point. Mistakes plagued us all through the year, stated Coach Scott Dempsey. Losing several games to penalty kicks in the last five minutes added to the fustration. In their first meeting with Columbus Acad- emy, a questionable call with minutes left led to a penalty which handed the Lions a defeat and a game that they had controlled. The season’s highlight was a three game winning streak, defeating Marianantha Christain, Lancaster, and Olentangy. During the Olentangy game, the Lions played one man down for all but ten minutes of the game. The team was led by the tri-captains Casey Collin, Collin Thomas, and Nate Earl, who all gained league honors. First year goalie, Mark Mitchell, gained all state recognition, the third player in Bexley Soccer history. He amazed eve- ryone who saw him play, stated Adam Robins. Losing four of the top league players will not put a damper on next year's hopes. Eleven lettermen will be returning next year. Dempsey added, We no longer have a Bexley soccer team; we have a Bexley soccer program. Ross Tague Coach Scott Dempsey explains some adjustments in play during a break in a game.

Coach T.J. Wright attributed the team's success to the fact that they had seven all-around team members, which gave the team balance. He also felt that the leadership of Beth Baumann, Heidi Powers, Kim Pulse, and Lisa Warren brought unity and experience to the team. “This is the largest team we’ve had since I’ve been here,” Wright states. The girls excelled individually, also. Warren and Baumann traded first and second all-around honors at almost every meet all season. Amy Giller and Abra Fisher and Kelly Goldhardt also added vital points to the team. Overall, the team was very happy with their perfor- mance. Baumann states, The team was successful be- cause we all pulled together and had a lot of spirit. The seniors really wanted to make their last year successful.” Heidi Powers concentrates trying to keepher balance Hanging onto the bar is Beth Bauman, (inset also left) G Y M N A S T 1 C s Wrestlers: small but spirited Herbst goes to States The 1988 wrestling team was small in numbers but large at heart. The Lions had to work more as team because there were a limited number of wrestlers. Every point counted. The small number of wrestlers hurt in dual meets. The Lions could not fill all the weight classes and therefore the other team was rewarded points for a default. This contributed to the Lions weak record. Sometimes Bexley was fortunate that the other team could not field a wrestler in the same weight class and neither team was penalized. The leaders of the team were a host of seniors: Shawn Straub, Matt Cleary, and Steve Herbst. Herbst was the most fortunate of the three as he qualified for the state tournament. He was knocked out of the competition in the second round. Possibly the most optimistic point of the year was the participation of many wrestlers who will return next year. Ben Lasky, Chris Special, and Tony Bango lead a host of juniors back next year. Eron Ranft made a strong showing after a late start. Eron was sidelined by a shoulder injury from football. This injury coupled with other injuries to other team members along with sicknessses led to a few defeats. Eligibilty was another problem for the Lions. There were many points in the season when somebody could not wrestle because of low grades. Still the Lions fared well in tournaments. The key to the Lions success was an emphasis on strengh and quickness during prac- tices according to sophomore Jason Snyder. The wrestlers worked out on the weight machines in a circuit during practices. .

Though Kristin Holley was a senior, Geoff Harris was a sophomore. In fact, the boys team was without a senior. A second place finish in the Eastside Invitational, a very prestigious meet, high- lighted a 3 and 3 season for the boys. The girls finished a little stronger than the boys with a 5 and 3 record. Coach Alan Corn said that the team victory at the Delaware Invitational was a bright spot for the lady swimmers. This victory was coupled with a second place finish in the Eastside meet. The Lions were very successful on an individual aspect. Melanie Radnor, Kara James, Holley, Steve Page, and Harris all broke school records. A total of thirteen records were broken altogether. Success was also found in the diving department where Casey Bowman led the Lions. Bowman finished fifteenth in the district and was joined in competition by Radnor, James, Holley, Harris, and Chas McBrien.

Cagers win District despite odds : Beveridge carries on tradition With a new head coach and players without too much playing experience, the Lions were predicted to lose many of their games. Still, with the odds behind them, the Lions clinched the Central Buckeye League and the District Championship. The Lions’ strong starting five of Mike Moriarty, Luke Wendt, Joel Fry, Adam Brandt, and Peter Magaro were the main force of the Lions. However, equally important was a strong bench which was utilized in every game. In fact, all twelve players had an equal amount of talent to start, so all of them played. The road leading the Lions to the District championship was one of struggle. After defeating a much improved Whitehall Rams team, the Lions faced the St. Charles Cardinals who had previously beaten the Lions in the regular season. The outcome was a close victory for the Lions. After defeating the Briggs Bruins, the Lions next game was a close one against Licking Valley which gave the Lions the district championship. The Lions lost in the first round of the regional finals to the team from Meadow- brook. Although the loss was disappointing,the Lions had proved the Bexley winning tradition.

Girls take Districts Bauman and Lawson lead team The 1987-1988 Bexley girl's basketball team enjoyed not only playing basketball, but also enjoyed just being with each other. The girls started off this year with a lot of enthusiasm. Kristen Lutz and Laurie Schlueb, underclasswomen, felt that the seniors went out of their way to help them. Lisa Lawson, one of the team captains, confirmed that there was a lot of unity among the team members. The team was well rounded, she also added. Everyone contrib- uted to the team in her own special way.” Coach Bill Hoyer said that the girls really worked hard this year, and overcame the injuries and sicknesses that plagued the players. With the girls' impressive record, they ended up the season with a tie with Dublin for the CBL championship. They then went on to the districts, where they beat Teays Valley, earning the district championship. The team will need to work even harder next year to win because of a great loss of seniors, but with Hoyer as coach there should be no problem,” said Lindsay Copp. Freshman Baseball Team:Front row; Dan Barr, Brad Nolan, Jeff Worley, Adam Lewin.

The top thre( 14 pitchers suffered injuries which slowed the team down. With tht f loss of players, players had to play positions that they were nc used to playing. Scott Ottenweller felt that the chemistry of thdity team crumbled at the end of the seaon because the dis Ml orientation of positions led to an increase in errors. Before the downward slope, the team experienced many higl v points. The boys will always remember when Tony Power 1 • pitched a no-hitter against Grandview. Powers led the team ii 9 batting, pitching, bases stolen, and strike outs. Jim Gordoi along with Powers made the first team all CBL and were picket to play in the district all star game.

Although the young team did get a late start, Coach Chris Maisenbocker and assistant Shawn Smith taught fundamentals early on so the team could improve them throughout the season. Because the girls were able to keep their enthusiasm up, improvement was easily seen. Catcher Kristin Lutz said, “Since Maisenbocker was new at coaching softball, he had to learn the ropes with us. He accepted our losses and was optimisic concerning our future games. Although the Lady Lions only had two wins, their improvement was displayed at the end of the season. Beating Jonathan Alder, the team captured their first sectional semi — final game in a number of years. With the loss of only one senior, a more experienced team is looking forward to a winning season next year.

Rogers commented, Third place was a little disappointing after last year, but at least we ended on a winning note. Bromberg was glad that he improved on his first round loss last year in the tournament. Possibly one of the largest contributions came in freshman, Neil Glass. Glass switched from a doubles player, to a key singles player in the CBL match. Academy Coach Ridewood stated, Neil was the tournament for Bexley. Todd Bragg also contributed to Bexley's Title. Andy Grossman, David Shell, and Brad May all rotated in at doubles positions, rarely dropping a set. Bexley’s depth proved a large factor in success.

The first new addition was the director, Susan Feher. She came to Bexley this year as the vocal music teacher and also added her energies to Drama Club. Her enthusi- asm for the fine arts was def- initely a change from past years. This year there were no officers, instead everyone ac- tive in Drama Club's casts or stage crew contributed to the successes of M A S H and South Pacific. There was a lot of talent, both behind the scenes and in front, which had not been matched in many years. Art Club also flourished this year. Under the leadership of Seniors Katherine Chuko, Cur- tis Taft, Lauren Gelb, and Jill Sutton, the talent of artists in the school were noticed by all. Those lovely Valentine's Day cards that brighten our day were designed by Art Club, as were the logos for Drama Club's plays and vocal and in- strumental music concerts.

Three of these popular clubs were the For- eign Language Club, Future Homemakers of America, and the Social Studies Club. During Foreign Language Week we had some activities that the whole student body could identify with, stated President Jeff Janis; for in- stance, in foreign language classes we made telegrams for $.10 and gave the pro- ceeds to the FLC child proj- ect. The club planned to adopt a child as its major proj- ect this year. Future Homemakers of America was another popular club among the students. Some of their activities this year included a pizza sale and a dough sale (both of whose proceeds went to the Chil- dren’s Hospital emergency burn unit), movies, roller skat- ing, and ice skating. Some students who were in- terested in social studies and current events joined the ASo- cial Studies Club. This year the club made posters for Black American Week and for the Holocaust.

Their jazzy and upbeat musi- cal interludes could lessen the tension af a close game or heighten the frenzied crowd's moral. Out there in the limelight they really seemed to know what they were doing. But, how well did they work together? Was it just all show? According to Jenny Chorpen- ning, “I think of us as a big family. We all get along great! Even if someone is off a little one day, we work so well with one another, I don't think peo- ple are that aware. Jodi Reinker confirmed Chorpenning's positive feel- ings, It feels like I've been in band forever. But I love it, so it really doesn't seem like work. It’s a great feeling to all be good friends. Band members agreed they owed it all to Jeff Schneider, band director, the “true core of the band. Schneider’s at- titude reflected this, I really love teaching music and I love conducting the band. Over the years I’ve felt more like a friend than a teacher to them. What is most important to me is to have the kids work together. I want them to feel they can count on one another.” Because of the band's teamwork and Schneider's dedication, the entire Bexley community enjoyed many great performances.

The or- chestra followed her lead as they began to play Beetho- ven's Fifth Symphony. As the orchestra reached its final ca- dence, the audience sat mes- morized. Ms. Allen cut off the last note, paused for a mo- ment as the sound radiated outward; and applause ac- companied the performance Ms. Allen directed the brass, woodwinds, and last, the strings to take a bow. The Sunday winter after- noon performance was a mem- orable experience The or- chestra worked hard for a smooth performance during winter and for the State Or- chestra Contests. They re- ceived an excellent rating on their performance and a su- perior rating on their sight- reading. Senior string player, Shannon Reed, felt that the group had a lot of energy. But, because of the acoustics in the Hillard High School gym, they were not able to achieve the superior rating that they anticipated. Individuals performed well in the solo and ensemble con- tests as well. Both the String and Quartet choir received a superior rating Soloist Becki Christpherson received supe rior ratings on her violin and piano solos Matt Foster earned a superior rating on the violin, while Sally Jane Mathias received a superior mark on her cello solo.

The newest addition was Susan Feher, previously from Upper Arling- ton. Many changes came with her, such as the combination of boys and girls glee club, the name change of women's en- semble to treble choir, and the attempts to transform mixed ensemble into a show choir by adding more choreography. Her main goal was to get more students to join the choral groups. Feher wanted to do as much performing out of class as possible. The lack of interest in the boys ensemble was the main reason for combining it with the girls. The group responded positively by expanding in dif- ferent directions. As for the transformation of the ensem- ble, Scott Ottenweller com- mented, Last year there was not much of an emphasis on choreography as this year. I am sure the trend will be a major part of the ensemble in the years to come. Each group was looking for- ward to positive alterations with the help of Feher. “I really enjoyed the kids,” she com- mented. It showed.

Groups tackle issues Many groups and clubs at Bexley were dedicated to serv- ing the students and faculty. Office helpers voluntarily gave up their studyhall to deliver ab- sence sheets, messages, and even the dreaded detention slips. Audio-visual and library helpers checked out materials and ran passes to study halls. S.A.D.D., Students Against Drunk Driving, and Peer Coun- selors were large groups. Their accomplishments were due to the active members . On Feb- ruary 11, the Peer Counserlor officers and supervisors, Mr Bill Boden, Mr. Vince Speciale, and Ms. Donna Oreski, put on the annual Peer Counseling assembly. They addressed the topics of eating disorders, A.I D S.,and teenage conflicts This assembly came across very well and gained positive feedback. Member Michelle Merkel stated, Peer Counsel- ing is a group that really com- municates with all types and ages of people, not only in our school.

The computers provided by last year's education fund drive offered students the chance to fa- miliarize themselves with word processing while ceiling fans donated by another community member created a more comfortable learning atmosphere At the same time community funds from CASA and participation in the Walk- a-thon kept the doors of The Outback open to students while renovations were being made at Jeffrey Mansion. Donations made possible the senior party at the Capital University student union. In addition, the Fourth of July, Easter, and Labor Day festivities promoted by Bexley Celebrations Association enhanced the community spirit that has made Bexley the community of which its citizens are proud. Bexley City Hall sits In the center of Bexley Bexley Square holds a lot of favorite high school spots TCBY, Fourbakers, and the Blind Monk. The Drexel Theater shows both popular and foreign films.
