They plant the seeds of wisdom—this truly expresses the duties of Bexley High School's fine faculty. The teachers hring us knowledge of academic subjects through their excellent classroom instruction. However, the faculty also hring us an understanding of people through their advice and counseling. Our faculty members are always willing to help us in our club work and in directing our student government.

Bexley High School's faculty are constantly trying to improve their teaching methods to help maintain the high scholastic standards of our school. Since our school is growing every year, the faculty must also ex­ pand, and the teachers who have joined the staff are upholding our tradi­ tion of having the best teachers.

Everyone realizes that no student at our school could grow in academic and worldly knowledge without the assistance of our excellent faculty, and it is because of this fact that we point witli pride to our teachers, who have steadily improved their quality of instruction during the twenty-ftve years in which this building has been our school home.

As freshmen we began our high school career by setting a school record as the largest class—nearly two hundred students—to be enrolled at Bexley.

That this outstanding class has grown in understanding is illustrated by the fact that twenty-five per cent of the freshmen taking Latin had an "A" average at the end of the first semester, enabling that number to be taken into the Latin Club.

Scholarship is not the only talent of the freshman class. Athletes on the reserve football and basketball squads and the freshman basketball team also had a fine record.

Several money-making projects have been sponsored by this industri­ ous class as a start on the long climb to get ready for the prom two years away. Budding engineers of the class built a Homecoming float which was good enough to place second in the judging.

Freshman class officers were Fred Mann, president; Sam McCandlish, vice-president; and Sandy Pollock, secretary-treasurer.

Although we sophomores sponsored only a few projects during our freshman year, we did enter into the numerous school activities. Now we have begun to grow—to grow in service. We eagerly began our money- making projects by having concessions at the football and basketball games. These projects proved to be quite successful, for we made more money on them than any other class. In the spring the class decided to have a bake sale too. Most of the money we earned will be held over until next year, so that we will be able to have a successful prom.

Many of the members of our class serve the school by participating in the clubs, on the sports teams, and as the officials of the student govern­ ment.

This year's officers were Dave Brandt, president; Jill Edmonds, vice- president; and Patsy Belt, secretary-treasurer. Back row Freddy Abel Stan Ackley Betsy Addison Skip Amburn Gail Armbruster Fred Baas Bob Babbitt

When we were freshmen and sophomores, we had one thought in mind—to build up a reserve for our junior-Senior Prom. Our junior Class has sponsored many football, basketball, and track concessions in order to make money. In our freshman year we also promoted a dance, which has become an annual spring affair sponsored by the freshman class.

We have grown in knowledge—not just an academic knowledge, but an understanding of people which we have gained through our participa­ tion in the many school activities.

Our class has been well represented on Bexley's athletic teams and has been a great asset to them. The knowledge and experience which we have gained from our three years in high school hare fitted tis to assume the responsibilities of leadership in the school next year.

Officers of our class were Scott Bums, president; Carolyn Angell, vice-president; and Libby Woodard, secretary-treasurer. Back row

After four years at Bexley High School, the class of '57 has grown in wisdom and in character.

As freshmen and sophomores, we entered into school life with great enthusiasm by sponsoring money-making projects and participating in school activities.

By our junior year we had developed into active members of the school. Our knowledge was increasing, and we were gaining more experience in dealing with others. The title of our prize-winning float, "Saving Every Penny for the Prom," indicated our desire to make our prom, "Moonlight and Roses," the great success it was.

Our senior Homecoming float, which wished our school a happy twenty-fifth anniversary, won first prize. The open house which we spon­ sored was such a success that we hope it will become a tradition. We feel that we have gained both academic and worldly knowledge.

Our class officers were Bob Friedman, president; ]udy Tussing, vice- president; and Barbara Morris, secretary-treasurer. Page Forty-two

Opportunities Bexley High School through its student govern­ ment, honoraries, clubs, and social events, affords students many opportunities to grow as persons. By- entering into these school sponsored activities, a student can fid fill his four basic needs—those of security, recognition, new experiences, and fellow­ ship with others. Membership in a class or a student government organization provides security and helps the student to groir in democracy. Elec­ tion to an honorary fills the needs for recognition, and participation in the numerous clubs assures varied new experiences. Happy times such as Homecoming and Prom bring about new friend­ ships and a growing understanding of others. Page Sixty-eight

Student Council

Under the guidance of its officers Fred Davidorf, president; Dave Long, vice-president; Bevra Hannahs, secretary-itreasurer; and Mr. Harold Tipton, adviser, the 1956-57 Bexley High Student Coun­ cil completed an industrious and constructive year. Sponsoring the traditional Homecoming festivities was the first major project of the Council. The Homecoming celebration included a bonfire, where a pep session aroused school spirit and the Home­ coming Queen was announced; a parade, consisting of the four class floats, the Homecoming Court, the marching band, and the cheerleaders; the Homecoming game with the Urbana "Hill Climbers", at which time the floats were judged; and the dance after the game, where the queen and her court l< were crowned. The Council cooperated with the Bexley Celebrations Association in co-sponsoring It the Halloween Dance in an effort to prevent vandalism. To promote holiday spirit the Council provided the school with a Christmas tree and supervised the hall decorations. A Christmas service project, the collection of food baskets, was conducted by Council. Each homeroom was responsible for filling one basket. These baskets together with a Christmas tree were taken to Neighborhood House to be distributed to needy families. To usher in the New Year of 1957, Council planned a gala New Year's Eve Party. Ellis Kurtz was presented with the Outstanding Representative Trophy for her service on the 1955-56 Council. An amendment to the Constitution was passed establishing the recipient of this trophy as a permanent member of Council. Also, amendments were passed concerning Student Court and Student Health Council. Student Health Council, for the first time, had a representative on Student Council. Council established a ten mile per hour speed limit in the parking lot, and speed signs were posted. Provisions for an invocation at the beginning of each Council meeting were made. A special meeting of Council was called to discuss assembly conduct. At the subsequent assemblies, the recommendations made in Council were followed and conduct was much improved.

Creative Arts We grow in creative skills as evidenced by achievement in the dramatic, journalistic, and musi­ cal arts. \\ ork in the dramatics department involves train­ ing in productions ranging from one-act plays to the annual Senior Play. Training in journalism finds expression in the TORCH and the BEXLEO. Pursuit of the musical arts gives opportunities to every student in the school through the medium of a great variety of vocal and instrumental groups. Operettas, band concerts, and appearances by the specially trained choir add a great deal of zest and sparkle to life at Bexley High School. Page Eighty-eight Torch

Concert Band One week before school officially opened, the members of the Bexley High marching band were hard at work practicing the many intricate forma­ tions to be performed at football games. Freshmen and new members were taught the basic funda­ mentals necessary for a good marching band. Led by the drum major and majorettes, the band half- time shows reflected the hard practice which was made worthwhile by the appreciation of the spec­ tators. Trading marching shoes and volume for balance and technique, band members formed the concert band. At Christmas time the choir and concert band presented a Christmas program and participated in the annual tree lighting ceremony at the Drexel Circle. On March 15 and 16, the band assisted the band parents in the presentation of a very success­ ful variety show. Some of the band members Yvonne Hawraney, Dury Sudduth, Carol Gearhart

This was the first time Bexley has sponsored the state contest. The last of the school year featured the annual band and choir concert in May and the Awards Banquet at the Seneca Hotel. At this banquet, after a fine meal and the presentation of awards, the band members enjoyed an evening of dancing and fun. Completing a successful year under'the leader­ ship of Mr. John Stanton, the last appearance of the band was at graduation. The strains of "Pomp and Circumstance" reminded a few in the rows of caps and gowns of the fun and companionship of being a part of the band.

Athletic competition at Bexley High School af­ fords a strong opportunity for growth in sportsman­ ship. All through the year the activity goes on. From September till the first snowfall, football has no rival; when the colder weather drives players and spectators indoors, basketball and swimming are in style; and when spring comes around again, track, baseball, tennis, and golf call for the best efforts of those who compete on field and court. sC>f Page One Hundred ^A ^^^ • P«ge One Hundred One Sfc "5T 4 It Dave Long

Benefactors

Our yearbook project has grown in size, especially in recent years. Its prestige has grown in like measure, until it lias become a vital part of our school and community life. Increase in scope and quality has necessarily meant great increase in staff work and in cost. The staff feels a boundless gratitude to this community for the continuing support of parents, professional nuzn, and business firms, without whose unselfish help our annual could not be produced.
