Jan Povolny, queen-elecr, relaxes for a moment. The candidates for Harvest Hop Queen were Judy Chizmar, Jan Povolny, Annette Tanno, Darlene Kubera and Mary Brockett. HARVEST HOP Among the most memorable of our social affairs in Bedford High was our annual Harvest Hop. Candidates for queen were chosen by old mem- bers of Friendship Club, who considered poise and personality in their nominations. The final voting was done by the student body. Our 1960 queen, pretty Jan Povolny, reigned as queen the entire evening as the popular choice of her classmates. Just as surprised and thrilled as we were, Jan accepted the queenship graciously, as last year’s queen, Gail Geiger, placed the long awaited crown upon her head. Such a night as this will last forever in our chain of memories. Gail Geiger crowns Janet Harvest Hop Queen for 1959. The Harvest Hop highlighted the autumn season.

Bedford High School was twice blest this year as we played host to two foreign exchange students. They were Lale Esshnger of Stuttgart, Germany and Lello Zaffiro of Catauzaro, Italy. Their presence, as members of our senior class, was a stimulating experience for all of us, students and faculty alike. As representatives of their respective coun- tries they were fine, good-will ambassadors. We hope our small cross-section of these United States left them with favorable impressions. Nancy Mestnik, Editor Noon dancing appeals to all. When I’m in Germany again, my friends will point at my class ring and ask me where I got it and why I’m wearing it every day. My answer with Bedford High for what I feel which taught me, can really teach- with of the modern ' fhool Unhiding. That is what I experienced here, and what I will never forget in all my life. Lale I consider myself very fortunate to have had an opportunity to meet the most friendly people of the world. The Exchange Student Program is becoming more and more important in influ- encing the thinking of people. You all from Bedford are contributing very much to showing that lastiAg friendships among nations is pos- sible. I shall always remember this year as the best and the most profitable of my youth. Good luck to all of you. Lello Studies are universally important. Dave Maddan presents Lale with a class ring. Two fine exchange students expanded our knowledge. No one can escape the excitement of our games. American food is really different. 8

We cheered with pride as Karen De Pompei and her attendants Pat Hadden and Jean Rice came into view riding in new convertibles. After Karen and her attendants were escorted aross the field, she received the crown signify- ing queenship from Pat Tanno, Queen of 1958, and then, with emotion and happiness in her voice, told us how grateful she was for having been given such a regal honor. The regal set — Queen Karen DcPompei, Jean Rice and Pat Hadden. Escorts from Varsity B — Norm Skillicorn, Jim Ciha and Bob Schroetter.
