For them we desire to present a true picture of our high school life . . . the work we do, the fun we have ... for they have given it to us. To these, then, we dedicate our play ... to the devoted, beloved, dependable citizens of our community. The curtain will rise on a stage simply set in the Bedford High School in the year of 1938. A group of earnest, but merry-eyed seniors are about to be graduated. Stepping forth, as it seems, to another world, they desire to leave behind them a commendable addition to the literary achievements of their predecessors. The characters who will gladly come forth for your entertainment are the student body. In the guise of various organizations they appear and reappear to represent their special interests and their scholastic and athletic achievements. And so we present the 1938 version of the Bedford High School ECHO. The overture is ended, a hush falls over the audience, the lights go out, the curtain rises ... on with the show!

PRO ■ Echo Staff Upholds Prestige and Tradition Year book editing seems to be a real pleasure. Standing : Anna Louise Shimer, Betty Sipe. Betty Houck, Don Hershberger, Chalmers Stroup, Gayle Leabhart, JoeSouser, Blanche Colvin.Jack Young. Seated: Dorthy Young, Edna Sills, Bob Bowser, Ruth Leonard, Lois Gump, Katharine Robinson, Emery Stoner. Quiet rules, broken only by an occasional word spoken or the rattling of a turned paper. Silence is shattered when ‘‘Stroupy rushes in, slaps Shimer on the back and shouts, ‘ ' Hi Doc, we just got a ten dollar ad; Joe did the persuading. ” Anna Louise with a worried frown looks up long enough to nod her head and then back to the Astronomy Club write-up. At the files Dotty is hunting evidence for senior descriptions. Jack and Emery, the ace sports writers, are recalling each thrilling moment on the gridiron, basketball court and mat. In one corner Gayle explains a ‘ group setting ' to the photo¬ grapher. When it is least expected, Don snaps a candid camera view of the workers. Interrupting Betty Jane for a few minutes, we discover that this is the 1938 Echo staff at work. The producers hope that this play will give its audience a clear conception of the achievements, activities and aspirations of the cast. . . • •_ _ m •rv w ®i il t - ■B s, iJ % £© ' 3l , f ' H jj- v ' j J Dr. Shimer, Mr. Blackburn, Mr Robb, Mrs. Heckerman, Mr Reiley, Miss Shoemaker, Dr. Grissinger. “This meeting will please come to order, says President Grissinger. Another school board meeting is in session. The secretary, Miss Shoemaker, reads the minutes of the previous meeting, which are approved. “The purpose of this meeting is to discuss ways of improving the land we have recently purchased as an addition to the athletic field. ‘ ‘The council has closed that unused street, has it not? asks Mrs. Heckerman, the only woman member of the board. Both Dr. Shimer and Mr. Reiley explain that this has been done, and the ground must now be leveled to provide an athletic field of the desired size. Mr. Robb, here in hiscapacity as Supervising Principal of the Bedford Public Schools, tells them that the track can now be finished. That a football field of standard size will be available and that space for track meets will be much larger is brought out in the discussion during the evening. Mr. Blackburn suggests that several teams not willing to play on a small football field would now be glad to meet us. And so, after much planning this meeting comes to an end. Thus these citizens guide the destiny of Bedford Schools wisely and well. i I_ Board of Education Dr. Grissinger looks over the School. sJA . ‘TJS.w.vAT ?! ftV ■ THE NINETEEN - THIRTY - EIGHT - ECHO Administrators Seen In Familiar Poses s The director of the drama enacted in Bedford High School each year is its Supervising Principal, Dr. E. K. Robb. Due to his capable direction the school runs smoothly, and enjoys the advantages of culture, athletics and practical arts. Mr. Robb is fair in his dealings with students and never fails to notice their efforts. Athletic teams have his staunch support in defeat just as in vic¬ tory. Mentally weary at the end of a busy day this athletically-minded supervisor thoroughly enjoys referee¬ ing an intra-mural basketball game. An associate director, Mr. C. D. Sproul, principal of Bedford High School, efficiently cares for the details of his division. Issuing make-up slips, pardoning the sin of tardiness, punishing delinquents or directing his Astronomy Club, Mr. Sproul always has a cheery word or his famous smile for the next on the list. In his calm way, Mr. Sproul finishes the work allotted to him and hurries to the gym to coach his J unior High Basketball team. Another assistant director, Mr. D. G. Behrers, princi¬ pal of Bedford Junior High School is one who can never be forgotten. Besides doing the duties comparable to those of Mr. Sproul, this serious-minded teacher gives never-to-be-forgotten advice about life work to the ver¬ dant freshmen. All who have come in contact with him declare Ivlr. Behrers to be not only an instructor, but a man from whom one may ask help and find it willingly and conscientiously given. Mr. Behrers seems intent on his work A DRAMATIC PRESENTATION OF SCHOOL LIFE ■ W Edward Sheely, Katherine Litzinger, Ada Harned. Ruth Squires, Coach Huhicsak, Francis Marion Holsinger, Forrest Hunsicker Koont:, Mary Morse. Irma Dieh | Capable Student Guides Wonder if “Doc sees what Stroupy saw Court will be convened, thunders Mr. Sheely. The theory of this faculty manager of athletics is to er � joy government and economics classes. In this way students retain more information believes this slightly- bald leader of the young. Miss Harned ' s room again wins the contest. It is one of her ambitions to see that Room 205 is vic¬ torious. Projects in the rear of the room prove she is industrious as well as an inspiration to seventh graders. Je ne sais pas the usual answer to questions in Miss Litzinger ' s French class. The caustic humor of this slim nonchalant teacher is one of her most valuable assets. The shrill sound of a whistle and a merry laugh of a dark-haired coach tells the story of foul play on the basketball court. Oh, yes, at times Mr. Hubicsak isn t so merry, but how else can he manage those am¬ bitious candidates for varsity teams? An egg in a beaker shows to the freshman class the process of osmosis; and whom do we meet here but tlje very blond Mr. Ivoontz. This famous college wrestler also coaches the B. H. S. grapplers. Passing the nurse ' s room we peep in to see freshmen undergoing a tuberculine test. Merry-eyed, pretty Miss Morse supervises. What! Boys studying food Yes, but the versatile Miss Squires has swapped Home Economics girls for Agriculture boys tor two weeks. This teacher, im¬ maculate in white uniform, teaches family relations and present-day modes to an attentive class. ■ THE NINETEEN - THIRTY - EIGHT - ECHO Energetic Mr. Hunsicker is found amid wails and squeaks from new-comers to the b rass section of the band. The instrumental department has improved under his jolly guidance. “Do mi do sings the chorus under the leadership of tiny, blond Miss Holsinger. Her charming personality succeeded in winning for her many true friends. “Are all the write-ups in?” asks Miss Diehl of her amateur reporters. When she left us for matrimonial bliss, Miss Colwell s place was taken by Miss Diehl. This dark-eyed teacher never misses a clever remark. “You ' ve forgotten the high-light in the eyes, Miss Donohoe says to a budding artist. Put it in so,” and she demonstrates an artist ' s ability that comes only from love of one’s work. Hours Mary Russell, Winona Gar- brick, Mary Donohoe. Tall, slender, Miss Russell informs us that the etiquette books are on the side wall. “Here is a particularly good one. She is never too busy to help us find what we want. Lovable, happy-go-lucky Miss Garbrick is our peppiest, teacher. It ' s she who injects enthusiasm into her students and into the whole Junior High School. She makes freshman English a vivid and never-to-be-forgotten experience. A DRAMATIC PRESENTATION OF SCHOOL LIFE ■ at Work Yes that ' s the way the Romans lived. “Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres,’’ Miss Bell explains to her sophomore Latin class. “All Gaul is divided into three parts.” Dainty Miss Bell almost turns Caesar and his Gallic wars into a present-day novel, so interesting does she make Latin. Mr. Tritt says that purchases go on the debit side of the ledger—or is it the credit side? Genial, always ready to help, he will spend an hour, if necessary, to clarify a point in a student’s mind. Miss Lucker took Miss Border’s place as teacher of typing and shorthand, but created her own niche in our hearts. She assumed tasks rather heavy for a new¬ comer and carried them through bravely and well. When Mr. Croft explains the mystery behind atmospheric conditions, his class listens carefully. His hobby, picture machines, occupies much of his leisure time. He has recorded high-lights of notable football games which we enjoy seeing, for he’s quite an expert. Mr. Townsend is synonomous with Future Farmers of America. They are his pride and joy. Usually smiling, he enjoys a bit of teasing and can take it as well as he can dish it out. “The area of a circle is equal to the square of the radius times pi.” It ' s Mr. Wise speaking to his freshman algebra class. In the shop he teaches boys to bring 7 c Oturdl Seventy-two gray clad Seniors, dip¬ loma in hand, look hesitantly into the future wondering what diligent striving will bring. The rough road ahead to success is realized but willingness to ascend is stamped on each face. 1 The verdant Freshman really works. m Just a Freshman As the curtain rises on our high school clays, we are eager for this new experience. Miss Garbrick reads Treasure Island so vividly that each of us glances over his shoulder, fearful of glimpsing Long John Silver. Something new! We give a Poverty Party. Admission is clothing or food, which is then sent to the Children ' s Aid Society and the Red Cross. We learn how¬ to dance in Etiquette Club. Our theme song— Keep off m ' feet . A Bandana Min¬ strel is presented by Junior Thespions, of whom Anna Louise Shimer is president. Even at this early date the freshman class claims for its own a football man, and a good one too—Charles Fun- garoli. Four Impressive Years As recorded by Katharine Robinson Now a Sophomore Grown up now and—in Senior High School. Jack Young arrives from Pitts¬ burgh and explodes like a bomb in our midst. Finding Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities exciting, we go to Everett to see Ronald Cole¬ man in the picture. The biology class holds a weiner roast, which turned into a snowball battle. At the com¬ mencement exercises, our president accepts for the class the William Brice Jr. Trophy, a track award, and the Hi-Y plaque for interclass basket¬ ball. A Wise Junior We start tradition and crash the news as producers of Crashing Society. ” Time to choose class rings rolls around. Gayle Leabhart ably heads the ring committee. Hurrah! Our own Beth Gal- laher is selected as Fiesta Queen. Nice going, Bethie! The Junior-Senior Prom proves to be the high-light of the year. The decorating committee, headed by Betty Sipe, does puh-lenty of work. This time we revived tradition! A Dignified Senior Our first thought—the Echo. We choose the staff early that they may begin work. Our candy business at basketball games thrives. This will help finance the Echo. Jack Henderson is elected captain of the basket¬ ball team. Wrestling season —Robert Clark and Sotirokos are our star wres. lers. Look at the birdie Smile sweetly! —senior pic¬ tures. Two of our boys are awarded the Keystone Far¬ mer Degree—Willard F. Koontz and John James. Time for the class play and then commencement is here. We regretfully prepare to leave this school, for four years our cherishing moth¬ er. ” The last interview 353 18 Senior Notables Bask in Limelight T ° h row Gus Sotirokos, Willard F.

A long, flower-studded archway leads to the dance floor which has been turned into an enchanted garden. Girls in lovely creations every color of the rainbow drift slowly through the archway. Up on the stage behind a green hedge and a little white gate the orchestra is playing softly. Couples drift slowly by a lazy fountain placed in the cent er of the floor. Pale red, blue, green, and yellow lights play over the fountain and startle the gold fish watching the fun from the fish pond. The bank surrounding the fountain is made of moss, rocks, honeysuckle, ground pine and dusky red roses. Pine trees surround the garden and dot the floor. Suddenly a cascade of balloons descends from the ceiling. Immediately there is a wild unreasonable scramble. Blue and silver awnings are lowered on either side of the floor so that the boys may find shelter in case a spring shower should arise. Large bunches of blue and silver balloons hang from the awnings and under each of these is placed a tiny, white marble bench. The bashful senior boy walks hesitantly to the captivating junior girl and asks her to dance. As the evening draws to a close boys and girls sip punch, munch sand¬ wiches, potato chips and pickles and chatter of the fun they are having. Ice cream, cake—just one more dance—the evening is “tops 29 w 3 v I J.

Acquaintances come readily in the friendly atmosphere and before long Frank Hughes, Dick Yeager, Francis Wilson, George Inglis, and Floyd Hall have been initiated into the strategy of the football field. School runs steadily onward and before long the freshmen are looking forward to seeing the first basketball game and Frank Hughes, Phil Claar, Thomas Dunkle, Charles Hafer, Allen Imler, Francis Wilson, Elven Langham, and John Dunlap in action. Side by side with basketball and football and running close in popularity is the old sport, wrestling. Five freshman boys, Dent Claycomb, Alvin Ickes, Cyril Fritz, and George Eshelman, are enticed from the basketball courts to join its ranks. Long gruelling hours of practice—last minute qualms bring The Panther ' s Claw ' ' as the freshman class play. Jack Williams as Clifton, Harriet Clapper as Norma, and Muriel Cohn as Elaine, excite the audience to cheers. Now it is the freshman ' s turn to give an assembly program and the class ma¬ gicians perform marvelous and daring feats to the wonderment of the older classes. After a year of activities, honors, and achievements the freshmen no longer wander over the building with awe and confusion. They bid farewell to freshman indecision and become— sophisticated sophomores. Third row; Melvin Davis, Billy Diehl. Charles Wilson, Richard Yeager. Fred Claar, William Weaverling.

Junior Class Achievement The juniors hasten back to school in September, bright-eyed and eager to win new honors for themselves. With the opening of the season four junior boys rush across the field. Fred James becomes Captain, Warren Miller and Charles Hershberger guards and Sherman Mowry, halfback. The first blast of winter brings snappy, laugh-provoking “Miss Jimmy , the junior class play starring Charles Kniseley and Barbara Mollenauer, to the high school stage. No activity escapes the juniors ' watchful eyes and so in answer to the Coach ' s call, Fred James and Robert Beegle enter the basketball line-up as forwards, and David Ickes learns how to pin his opponent in the first wrestling meet. Barbara Mollenauer, the tiny dark-haired girl who plays every morning for chapel, Rita Mae Kund, class president, Louise Hill, and Ruth Whitmore don new ushers ' uniforms preparatory to helping patrons find their seats at the Christmas concert presented by the music department. No, not that one; this one has much more snap. Wimmin! Wimmin! exclaims a lone male in disgust. The juniors are engaged in the all absorbing task of choosing a class ring. Thus with notable achievements heralding their approach to dignity, the juniors become seniors. mmmamammaamKmmmmmmmmmmmmmKsammmmKmmmBammKmmmBmmmmmmmmam 33 Third rout: John Shaffer, Carl Stiffler, Fred Hoover, Charles Sipe, Owen Ash, Shirley Moore- head, Clyde Hall, Tom Banner .

Where to in such a hurry? “Football practice.” Jack Pepple, a varsity man rushes on and joins Jim Flenderson, Ivan Marshall, Jack McCabe, Dan Rose, Shirley Moorehead, Don Gardner, Robert Keller and Gerald Buckelew, all prominent sophomore football men. When the whistle for the start of the first basketball game blows, seven sopho¬ more substitutes, Charles Sipe, Jack Pepple, Fred Hoover, Ivan Marshall, Kenneth Wilson, Meryl Mundwiler and Jack McCabe prepare to enter the game at a moment ' s notice. Wrestling calls for lots of brain and much brawn and so Paul Dively, Clifford Hershberger, George Keller, Hartley Claycomb, Wayne Foore, Harold Beegle and Harold Bittinger, who consider themselves the muscle men of the class, sign up. “May I have your ballot please? Please vote for Peggy Shoemaker. “ It is the gala Fiesta night and sophomores are rushing here and there seeking ballots for the support of pretty Peggy Shoemaker. “Hurry! Hurry! there are only a few seconds left; write faster. “ Peggy does not win, but as a very close second she re¬ ceives the honor of crowning the 1938 queen. A colorful party, truly sophomorish, ends another brilliant school year chocked full of joy, action, hard work, companionship and accomplishment. 34 Committees Aided by- Gay Young Sophomores SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Jack Pepple —President James Henderson —Vice President Mildred Copelin — Secretary-Treasurer They ' re not usually so solemn .

They have never bragged of the record they made at Penn State where they ranked ninth in a contest with 204 other Pennsylvania chapters of F. F. A. Not a whis¬ per was heard when two of their members, John James and Willard F. Koontz, received the Keystone Degree, the highest State award, and not a sound when four of the Future Farmers won awards at the State Farm Show at Harrisburg. But this is not all they have done. They participated in the County F. F. A. basketball games and in judging contests. They have purchased an additional section for their incubator making an egg capacity of 6140 eggs. For the benefit of farmers in the community these boys sponsored variety and fertilizer tests on corn and oats and published a Bedford Future Farmers News monthly. By engaging in these activities the Future Farmers have lived up to their motto: Learning to do, Doing to learn, Earning to live, Living to serve.

No longer are the halls filled with linger¬ ing groups of students through which the ambitious must push his way. Instead there is a marked alertness which keeps hall traffic moving toward the stairs which now boast a one-way traffic system. When the alumnus leaves school at dismissal, he would observe another achievement of the Student Coun¬ cil. The jostling and pushing which previously character¬ ized our dismissals is gone and the steady stream of stu¬ dents leaves in orderly fashion followed later by students owning bicycles or cars. Law and order is enforced by the student patrol which guides the most congested traffic with an ease worthy of great praise. Another achievement of this group is the home room score card. All student participation is noted and is rec¬ ognized by giving the student’s home room quality points which count toward an award made every six-weeks to the highest scoring home room. It is with such projects that the Student Council re¬ tains its reputation as one of the most active organi¬ zations in school.

This was the speech that started the stone rolling and the National Athletic Scholarship Society is one rolling stone that does gather moss. With the close of the basketball and football seasons, President Jack Young and his five fellow members get busy and soon find teammates as candidates for membership. To be a member, the candidates must earn a letter in a major sport and have an average of eighty percent or above in all studies. These requirements are to promote high standards in scholarship as well as higher athletic achieve¬ ments. Honors are awarded these new athletic stars in a well conducted ceremony on March 25. President, Betty Sipe, calls the meeting to order as the Athletic Board holds its first meeting to help foster better athletics in the high school. Organizing the T. N. T. club is one of the board ' s first moves. The T. N T. club, sponsoring dances, parades, and rallies, helps the A. A. increase the attendance at athletic events.

There surrounded by sewing machines, mirrors and implements used in the feminine struggle for style, they hold their meeting. Sometimes they allow an honored guest the privilege of viewing them in action and always the report of this individual is brim full of laudatory words telling of the fun and originality which marks their meetings. Vividly one person tells of the Christmas party where some of the local tiny tots are entertained by song and games and thrilled by new gifts, and then best of all-the refreshments! From another report we hear of the beauty and solemnity which characterizes the initiation that is held in a darkened room, lighted only by the glowing candle— the symbol of Home Economics. In their meetings they have musical programs, educational discussions, short plays or pantomines, but always the aim of the club is fulfilled, that of bringing the department and students into a closer social relationship.

The audience gazes with awe upon a most beautiful ceremony. The caps and gowns worn by the new and old members symbolize scholarship; spotless white is the dress of the character warden; leadership is represented by a royal gown, while grey denotes service. Each new member holds a small torch which is lighted by the society’s large torch. Then as one, the group of new members repeat the pledge of the National Honor Society. I pledge myself to uphold the high purpose of this society to which I have been elected, striving in every way by word and by deed to make its ideals the ideals of my life, my home, and my school. ” Thus ends the third induction ceremony. Stroupy ' s” Joke must have been a good one! Junior Society Sets Precedent I he officers admire their new emblem Bedford Junior High boasts of its chapter of the National Junior Honor Society, and well it might. Its members are selected from those students in the eighth and ninth grades who have a scholastic average of “B”. Along with scholarship an applicant must excel in char¬ acter, service and leadership. As a sophomore he retains passive membership in this alert society. The society is one of the most active in the Junior High School. Its main accomplishment this year was the operation of a lost and found department. Its members also have helped in arranging bulletin board articles, encouraged good sportsmanship at athletic events, assisted students in “ make-up ’’ work and engaged in social activities. On March 18—new members were inducted into the society. The ceremony was impressive not only to those who were taken into the organization but to the spec¬ tators as well. Probably each onlooker was inspired to¬ ward excelling in scholarship, leadership, character and service that he too may become a member of the Fort Bedford Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society. 43 Back row: Miss Diehl, Warren Miller.

He is tracking down news whether it be from the office or boiler room. Ever on the alert for someth ' ng new, strange, pictur¬ esque or unexpected, the reporter judges each happening for its news value and, if important enough, sees that it gets a write up and oh, those write-ups! With the ever lurking danger of having Journalese, that disease common to all journalists, or of misstating the news, the reporter, conscious of the fact that truth and accuracy are his watch words, writes with great care and then checks and double checks his write-up before giving it to Miss Colwell for that final checking Someone has said that there is no excellence without great labor. For proof of this proverb just ask one of the aspiring journalists, they know. But in the end, each and everyone of them, decides it was worth it all, especially after gazing at one of their brilliant scoops in the Bedford Hi-Lites. The first paper arrives.

Astronomy Club Incites Student Interest “Say, did you notice Saturn last night? asks one club member and just like that a group of “star gazers are off on another mystifying dis cussion. Then the scene changes. We re with another group of astronomists. They are boys working on the construction of anew six inch telescope. While one group is grinding the lens, another group builds the mounting. The girls lend their moral support and interest as the conglomeration of glass and metal begins to take shape. They’re anxious to use it too. The scene changes again. For a background we have a beautiful star-lit night. For the stage we have the athletic field where a group of excited students surround the newly completed telescope. “Ohs and “Aws are heard as everyone gets a peek. “O-oops someone has turned the telescope wrong, and only black nothingness greets the eyes. ‘ ‘Here, let me work it, says President Stroup and sure enough within a few seconds he has found an interesting star. Thus the Astronomy Club may be found on many clear nights, grouped around the telescope, ‘ ’seein’ stars.

That is the cry of Miss Holsinger, the chorus director of Bedford High. It isn ' t long until her cry is answered, for twenty-six boys of the Senior High School make their appearance on the stage along with forty girls. This is the largest group the chorus has had since its organization in 1925. Every day the last period, these boys and girls go to the stage to practice numbers for assembly, concerts and contests in which they are to participate. To take care of the business, the members and direc¬ tors find it necessary to elect officers. After carefully checking each ballot we find Blanche Colvin is president, Peggy McCabe is secretary, and William Smith, treasurer. A hush comes over the chorus when Miss Holsinger announces that they will share honors with the band, or¬ chestra, and dramatics class in our schools first annual music department concert. They look down at the music in hand and read the notes carefully, then burst into song with the down beat of the baton. The chorus opens with Lonesome Song , Ten Miles from Home , It’s Me, O Lord , a negro spiritual, and ends with some colorful Christmas tunes. Since no chorus is complete without added attractions, the next step is to organize a trio. Those selected are Norma Trimmins, Irene Wonders, Ruth Diehl, sopranos; Ruth Housel, Mildred Copelin, Dorothy Young, altos.

Confident of making good, the chorus settles down with determination to win. Seventy young voices make up the organization known as the Junior High Glee Club. Walking to the stage for their weekly practice with Miss Holsinger, they talk in excited voices. Calling the meeting to order the officers, Norma Hafer, Harriet Jean Clapper, Margaret Hershiser, and Kathryn Hershberger pass out the music to be sung. Given their note from the piano, they pick each note out carefully so as to give precise harmony As the cur.ains part for the assembly program, seventy girls are silenced and look into the audience with frightened eyes. They hear the piano—hum their pitch, and break into the merry tune of “Street Parade” as a hush comes over the audience. Upon finishing “Street Parade”, they immediately go into In February. As their last note dies away, the audience expresses its appreciation and approval in generous applause. As the girls depart from the stage, they know that their first appearance is a success. When Sheldon can play these notes, he can lead the band. Music Provided for All School Functions by the Band and Orchestra Delirious laughter emanates from behind the drawn stage curtains. One can easily guess that Mr. Hunsicker has just told his band another of his jokes. The band is that musical organization which plays those rousing marches for chapel every Monday, Wed¬ nesday and Friday mornings. In the fall this group decided to sponser a tag day, the proceeds to go toward purchasing blue and white uni¬ forms for its members.

These instruments add much to our already well-equipped band. Many new members are also added to this ever-enlarging group. Out of scores of candidates Mr. Hunsicker accepts only those who show a genuine interest in music and who are steadily progressing. Several of the latest additions are girls who seem to enjoy very much playing the drums and bass violin under the genial smile of our new conductor, Mr. Hunsicker. 1936—The whole basement of Bedford High resounds with the squeaky tones of violins haltingly played by the newly-formed violin class. Miss Garbrick, her patience and endurance gone, pleadingly says, Come on, kids. Snap out of it. Goodness knows you will never get places that way. And so they start again. ' This time with better success. Constantly improving, this violin class emerges in 1938 into a fu ll-fledged or¬ chestra. Directed by Mr. Hunsicker. this music group gives a grand performance at the Christmas concert. Beginning with Aida March by Verdi and ending with Strauss’ immortal Blue Danube, the orchestra provides a rare treat for the local people. The success of the Junior and Freshman class plays is partly due to the fact that the audience is entertained between acts by the obliging orchestra. Chapel periods are also made brighter, as the orchestra on Tuesdays and Thurs¬ days plays an inspiring march ora tingling folk dance. Over one hundred students are taking advantage of the instrumental instruc¬ tion offered to the student body. Of these, twenty-nine are studying the violin, three the bass violin and one the viola. 53 School’s Successful Productions Mark Dramatic Season Excitement and anticipation behind the scenes makes every member of the cast a live wire. Miss Holsinger, the director of the revue, scurries hither and yon applying grease paint and adjusting tricky costumes. The curtain raises on the “Frolics of 1938”, the seniors ' five- star musical fantasy. Jack Young, as interlocutor of the minstrel, introduces his endmen and Charles Fungaroli forgets to be frightened and basks in the hilarious applause. By the end of the minstrel, Faughter is rocking in the aisle, his eyes twinkling and his foot keeping time to James Hender¬ son ' s song. Now the scene changes. A sign reads, “Top Hat Cabaret . The floor show has begun. The “Ten Pretty Girls number finished, Ruth Diehl begins singing “Moon of Manakoora . A galaxy of rhythm follows and the scene fades into the “Big Apple . Enthusiasm, struggling from his chair, scrambles to the stage and announces, “It was a marvelous show! It’s the Farmer ' s Daughter’s Wedding Day.

Ruth Diehl, as Dean Watkins, and William Middleton, as Professor Frazier, know nothing of this secret kidnap¬ ping. Droopy the janitor, Ted Brown, adds to the hilarity. Then Jimmy appears in a girl’s dress to become Miss ' Jimmy. The dean and professor discover the identity of Miss jimmy, but when he threatens to expose the school by telling the whole story, Dean Watkins willingly for¬ gets the whole affair. Charles Knisley as Miss Jimmy under whose maidenly pinafore there beats the heart of a man, was destined to be a success from the first.

Under the watchful eye of Coach Johnny Hubicsak these budding football stars soon become adept in blocking, tackling and passing. Hoping to start the season off with an inspiring victory, these boys work very hard and show prospects of becoming a fast and gritty outfit. The various teams are picked out and they go through some strenuous signal practices in preparation for their first game. The teams line up. The whistle blows and the Bedford Bisons, flashing an inspiring brand of football, usher in their first 1937 victory. Their victim is the aspiring Greenfield Township eleven who journeyed to Bedford with the hope of returning home victorious. But Claysburg ' s ambitions are soon foiled as Jimmy Henderson, skirting wide around left end, goes over for a touchdown. The extra point is added by Jack Henderson. Bedford again scores as Captain Dutch James breaks through on an elusive off-tackle play for a second touchdown. The Bison’s fail to kick the extra point and so the game ends 13 to 0. 58 No wonder the cheer leaders are excited! •‘Ted ' s” on his way to a touchdown. It is night. The field is brilliantly lighted and the Bedford Gridders, in their only night game of the season, face an exceptionally strong Allegany eleven. Both teams line up. The deep silence which immediately pre¬ cedes the opening of a football game is shrilly broken. The Bisons, full of pep, receive the kickoff and hold the Marylanders until late in the second quarter, when Allegany charges across for a touchdown. The third quarter passes with no scoring by either side, but in the fourth quarter Allegany gains two more touchdowns. In spite of the valiant dashes of Dutch James the game ends with the score in favor of Allegany, f Across the gridiron the Bison struggle desperately with Franklin Borough ' s Bluejays. Even though fighting experience and tremendous weight advantage, the Blue and White hold the Bluejays scoreless for the first half of the game. James stars by making several beautiful runs and the Bedford boys forge ahead to the Franklin ten-yard line three times but lack the punch to score. The game ends by Bedford succumbing 26 to 0. Bedford Team By Inspiring Cheerleaders One week later Bedford High ' s plucky eleven received its first setback of the season when a heavier and more experienced Somerset team runs wild scoring 61 points. Although a 61 to 0 score indicates a walk-a-way the Somerset gridders had to fight for every inch of territory. Not daunted in the least by this crushing defeat the Blue and White prepare for the next game.

In a sea of cold mud the Blue and White in the third home game of the season battle the strong Meyersdale eleven. The game see-saws back and forth with a suc¬ cession of kicks and fumbles with neither team being able to score. The Bisons are conceded to have the edge on their opponents but are unable to score on their heavier rivals because of the adverse weather conditions. Once again the Bedford Bisons emerge the victors on their home field. This time it is by decisively defeating a lighter Broadtop eleven to the tune of 19 to 0. Every member of the Bedford team sees action in this game. Opposing the fast Williamsburg eleven the Blue and White lose a very close contest by the disheartening score of 6-0. It is in the second quarter when a beautiful pass by Williamsburg squashes the Bison ' s hopes. After this touchdown neither team scores and for the first time in the history of Bedford High School she is beaten on her own home field by a Williamsburg team. It is the last home game of the season. The crowd waits expectantly. The referee sounds his whistle and the game starts. This time Bedford opposes a crack Shade Township eleven. The Shade gridders lose no time and soon cross Bedford’s goal. On long passes and startling runs, Shade gets four more touchdowns. Since the score looks rather one sided, it does not indicate at all the courage and fighting spirit of the Bedford boys. The game is on. The kick-off is low and fast. The teams plough resolutely into each other and thus Bedford has entered her final game of the season. The inspired Bisons quickly surprise the over-confident Huntingdon eleven by driving across for a touchdown in the first quarter. The remaining part of the game is a series of drives and kicks with neither team scoring. In the last few minutes of the play the Bearcats threaten the Blue and White’s goal but their favorite scoring play is broken up and the whistle blows leaving the proud and happy Bisons the victors.

Fred James Jack Young Fred Hoover Robert Beegle Jack Pepple Earl Rose, Manager NUMERAL MEN Kenneth Mock Meryl Mundwiler Ivan Marshall Charles Sipe Kenneth Wilson With the 1937 football season in the past, Coach Hubicsak turns his attention to the fifteen candidates out for basketball. He drills Henderson, captain-elect and one of the two-year varsity men, for the center position; Young, the other two-year man, for guard. Beegle takes the other guard; James and Hoover fill the forward positions. The whistle blows—Henderson gets the tap and the 37-38 basketball season is in full sway. Shade often takes tne lead only to be set back by Henderson and James. Shade finally succeeds in keeping its four-point lead to defeat the Bison. Handicapped by the loss of Captain Henderson, the Bison are defeated by a score of 33-17 in the second game with Shade. To start the new year off the Bison defeat a strong Southmont team. In the re¬ turn game Southmont is again defeated on their floor. James, Henderson, and Hoover provide plenty of thrills in both games. Beegle and Young display splen¬ did work on the defense. 62 How They Fared Shade Township 24 Bedford 20 Southmont 22 Bedford 34 South Mont 2b Bedford 28 Meyersdale 28 Bedford 39 Meyersdale 29 Bedofrd 31 Smith Vocational 18 Bedford 35 Williamsburg 24 Bedford 20 Somerset 43 Bedford 16 Somerset 32 Bedford 8 Williamsburg 36 Bedford 31 Huntingdon 33 Bedford 15 Smith Vocational 9 Bedford 43 Shade Township 33 Bedford 17 Opponents 357 Bed ford 337 Won 5 and Lost 8 The game’s over! The score ' s 29-29. The crowd goes wild and the Bison must play an extra three minute period with its old rival, Meyersdale. During the first two minutes the uncontrollable crowd fills the gym with a roar until Captain Henderson makes the winning field goal. In the return game, the Bison team runs wild and Meyersdale returns home defeated by a large margin. In spite of the Bison’s efforts, Williamsburg defeats them. James and Beegle, ringing in one score after another, prove not enough to place the blue and white on top. Five weeks later the journey to Williamsburg results in another close victory for our Blair County rivals. Beegle makes six points and Pepple two. Bedford’s fighting herd is overpowered by Somerset ' s clever plays. In the return game at Bedford an improved squad sur¬ prise the overconfident Orange squad by taking an early lead in the game although finally succumbing to the superior experience of the classy visitors. Journeying to Huntingdon for the first time, the Black-shirts” are met by strong opposition. Using every man, Coach Hubicsak tries vainly to gain the lead, but the Mountain League Champions overpower the Bison in the second half. Going to Yellow Creek, the thundering herd easily de¬ feats Smith’s fighting quintet. In the return game at Bedford, Smith again meets its defeat as the season is brought to a close. And so with the closing of another successful basket¬ ball season, we must bid adieu to seniors. Captain Hender¬ son, Young, and Mock.

This hard fighting, high spirited Junior High team displays great interest as shown by their steady improvement. Suffering defeats by the more experienced teams of Shade, Roosevelt, Keith, and Williamsburg, the Tigers fight all the harder. The season drawing nearer its end, the Blue and Gold settles down to business and shows what it can do by defeating Smith and Somerset. Elliott, Captain elect, dribbles down the floor making basket after basket through the season ; Hughes displays good footwork on the defense and offense; Knight, the teams smallest man, rushes out and takes the ball from opponents half again as big as he; Drenning, another of the team’s midgets, dribbles under the legs of his much taller opponent; Harris, Dunlap, Imler, and Hafer provide thrills every minute. The team looks forward to a more successful season next year.

These games are al¬ ways snappy and hard fought. Over two hundred of the student body participates in these thrilling contests which are divided according to class. There are three separate leagues in the intra¬ mural competitions; the Green league whcih consists of sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, the Blue League containing the fresh¬ man class, and the White League composed of Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. Desiring to watch one of these exciting games we enter into our huge auditorium which is partially filled with yelling excited followers of intra-mural basketball. The game starts, it is be¬ tween the girls of the Sophomore and Junior classes. Quickly the smaller and more agile Sophomores make a basket, but the Senior girls, now thoroughly awakened, soon tie up the score. The game gets faster and fiercer, but for a time neither five is able to sink a goal. Then, to the surprise of all, the Sophomores again score on the mighty Senior team. Spurred on to desperation by this goal the Seniors attempt some long shots, but all to no avail, for the final bell rings, action ceases and the score stands 4 to 2 in favor of the Sophomore girls. The disgruntled Seniors walk slowly to the shower room jokingly vowing vengence on these lowly Sophomores. Third row: Betty Hale, Mary Pate, Elsie Miller.

Since this is only the second year for wrestling in B. H. S., Coach Koontz has but five veteran men who participated in the two meets of last year. January 7, the Bi son wrestlers play host to Clearfield and are badly beaten in the first match of the season. Two weeks later the Boswell team, an old rival, invades Bed¬ ford High. Foreman, 105 pounds, and Clark, 125 pound grappler, give Bedford six points, winning by a time advantage. Gus Sotirokos, 135 pound wrestler, gives Bedford its only score in the match with Trafford. Fighting hard the Bison team puts up one of the best scraps of the entire season. Defeat again faces the grapplers when Trafford comes here to meet the Bison “never say die” wrestling team. In an exhibition bout Emery Stoner, 125 pounds, wins by a time advantage. In the last meet, Sotirokos, Stoner, Nave and Keller win, but State College, wrestling at home, defeats the Bison. Thus ends the second wrestling season for B. H. S. The Bison wrestling team loses five fighting seniors this year—Sotirokos and Clark, who wrestled two years, Stoner, Nave, and Diehl, who participated this year for the first time.

Track Activities Command Attention of Enthusiastic Spectators With entirely green material, Coach Hubicsak whips into shape another formidable track team. Fifty boys, almost all of them lower classmen, practice diligently the various track and field events, and many of them show promise of becoming very adept. Finally the day for the annual District 5, Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association track and field meet comes, and the thirteen boys, chosen to represent Bedford High School, are tense with expectancy. Crack! It is the starting signal, and the annual district meet is on. Fred Milburn quickly takes the lead for Bedford by win¬ ning the one-hundred-yard and the two-hundred-twenty-yard dashes. But suddenly a thunderstorm disrupts all the proceed¬ ings and for a time no events are held. After the shower the Blue and White proceed to capture the majority of the hurling and jumping places. Thus the annual district field and track meet ends with Bedford, undefeated in district competition for twelve years, again placing first. 67 Presenting “School Life” In Literary And Pictorial Resume Students Welcome Fiesta The bugles announce the coronation A library turned over to bingo—dancing in the gym—movies—hilar¬ ious things from the way people are laughing—-“I guess I d better put these ballots in the box before I lose them”—gala costumes—“Shall I have mustard or catsup on my hot dog 1 — Who is this funny looking baby?”—“Why, where did that old picture of mine come from?”—“There is Mr. Sheely on a donkey, I thought he was a Republican. ” Yes, the Fiesta is here again. Feverish excitement, gala decorations, pungent odors and inviting music call to the eager participants. They come—old, young, serious-minded, happy-go-lucky, gay young things, gout victims, enjoying the party together. Teachers drop their dignity. Who would ever have thought they would see Coach guessing weights 1 Pupils forget to show respect to their instructors and are willingly for¬ given. The coronation ceremony on Saturday night might be envied by any European monarch. Court attendants attired in royal blue await the ap¬ proach of the queen and her ladies-in-waiting. Bugles summon the five would-be queens to the rites of a formal crowning. The court crier, after hours of droaning, finally announces the name of the queen, Betty Lee Hardman. Many are disappointed, but shortly have forgotten in the mad excitement which follows the official crowning. Extra attractions Friday are an amateur hour and the prize given the highest ranking queen candidate. When the doors are locked the feeling of something accomplished fills the heart of every loyal Fiesta backer.

Integrity is merely a hard way of saying “treat the other fellow as you would like to be treated”. It is nothing more than the good old Golden Rule. And, how wise was the Author of the Golden Rule! If the great majority of people didn’t obey it, this would indeed be a sorry world. This applies to everything you do, and should apply to every business, whether that business be the making of shoe laces or chicken feed. Speaking of feed . . . there has never been a stone left unturned, since the very begin- ing, to conduct the business of the Bedford Feed Company with the utmost of in¬ tegrity. This policy of observing the Golden Rule is one of the reasons that each month, more and more people are finding that the Bedford Feed Company is the best place to buy feed and supplies, and to have cus¬ tom mixing and grinding done. 77 Sales BEDFORD MOTOR SALES Service 24 Hour Service 286 Phone FARMERS ' HARDWARE CO.
