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 ■

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

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
