From learning juggling in our classes to jumping around from activity to activity, the four grades at Bedford High School participated in many activities throughout the 1981-82 school year. Student life at BHS was more than just the usual 8:00 am to 2:35 pm classroom routine. One of the biggest events that took place and captured the imagination of the ent Life helps make connections BHS’s four walls are also for playing games. student body was the production of the Music Man, last spring. It was the first musical performed at the high school in over five years. Homecoming floats were started in Sep- tember, and as the date for the parade drew near, many students in each grade level began to make connections by mak- ing flowers and building the frames, some- times working long into the night. The fi- nal result was a victory for the Bearcat Band. The “Best of Times” do not always oc- cur at the beginning of the school year, though. For Anne Spadaro, the happy moment happened in May as she was crowned the 1981 Prom Queen. The activities of Bedford High students do not all occur within the four walls of our school. Many take place in our com- munity, some even farther away. From rollerskating at Southgate Shopping Cen- ter to concerts at the Coliseum, we al- ways find something to entertain our- selves. The events in the lives of BHS students do have ripples in them from time to time too as we are affected by the world around us. Sometimes happily as in the wedding of Prince Charles to Lady Diana and sometimes with great sadness as in the case of the assassination of Anwar Sadat, the President of Egypt. Lives of Bedford High students include much. We have good times, embarrassing moments, and emotional strains. This is all part of the game of life and life would be boring without them. We laugh, we cry, and through it all, we survive. SHOWING OFF. While in 3° acting class, directed by Mrs Costa. Mane Mackns. tries her hand at the art of juggling. Student Life 7 76 TROMBONES.

Bedford’s first musi- cal production in over five years involved an incredible amount of time, energy, and expertise. Over 200 hours went into re- hearsals. set design and construction, cho- reography. and vocal practices. This particular play was chosen for its popularity, music, and number of students whose talent could be showcased. “We had an extremely cooperative cast. There was a real team effort, and unbelievable spirit,” commented Director Mary Ann Costa. A major factor stressed by Mrs. Costa in the play was reaction. Junior Roberta Rossi stated, “Mrs. Costa would answer questions about each character; from there we would do our best to incorporate what she told us.” Keith Goad comment ed. “If you believe that you are the char- acter, then the audience will believe also.” The cast of Music Man consisted of sixty students, plus eight outsiders. With a play of this size and quality, various facul- ty and students had to be acquired to help out with major parts and find cos- tumes. As vocal Coach. Dee Fowler worked with the lead singing roles such as Marion Paroo, Harold Hill, and the Quar tet. Junior Brett Phillips commented, “Mrs. Fowler helped out a lot in the be ginning; working with us at least two hours a day in the practice room.” Choreographer Bebe Katz, Set Designer John Seaman, and Orchestra Director, Don Sullivan gave direction to the t chni- cal aspects, along with Christie Bott, make-up. and Claudia Beilstein, costumes. As Winthrop Paroo, 13 year-old-Sean Smith made his first appearance on the Bedford High School stage. Maggie Lovano commented, “Sean added life to the cast. Some members were upset by his being so young, but later realized he was the best for the part.” Brett Phillips added. “Sean has alot of talent and ener- gy and he knows what to do with them.” Music Man 9 SINGING OUT.

On June 6, 1981, 449 students stepped across the stage at the Front Row Theatre, starting a new tradition. Kathi Kainsinger had been chosen among five finalists to be the student speaker, along with Dave Santoli, chosen by top honor students. A Cappella choir member Jenny Morri- son commented, “There was a special closeness experienced by everyone.” She added, “It was nice to feel so close to the graduates as we sang in choir.” Another choir member, Laura Borcz commented, Commencement was well organized and smooth—no hesitation and no rowdiness. Another new tradition was the change from valedictorians to the cum laude sys- tem. much like the system in college. In this way more students were recognized. The cumulative grade point average over the four years of high school determined the rank students obtained. Students with a 4.0 plus grade point average received summa cum laude; 3.9- 3.999, magna cum laude; 3.8-3.899, cum laude; and awarding the Principal's Award to those with a 3.5-3.799 cumula- tive grade point average. Graduate Ron Bate commented, ‘‘It was more convenient holding commence- ment at the Front Row. Most people live in driving distance, and don’t have to wor- ry about getting lost.” Junior Donna Dvo- rak added, “I liked it much better; with the revolving stage it was much easier to see everything and everyone.” According to Senior co-adviser Bill Fudge, My overall impression was that commencement was more dignified —a way that it should be.” Barbara Holloway concluded, Being at the Front Row was like a big family gathering.” COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS.

The parade wound its way from Moody to the stadium. The winner of the float competition was an- nounced when the parade arrived at the high school. The Bearcat Band was the victor with “Pave The Panthers”. A major change in the Homecoming events this year was a cutback in festivi- ties during Spirit Week . Twins Day, 50’s Day, and Western Day were elimi- nated; and the only festivity that re- mained was Green and White Day. When asked why the activities weren’t better promoted this year, junior Sherrae Adams responded. “The activities weren’t pro- moted because of the four-day weekend and the involvement around the actual game.” The highlight of the night was the game itself. “The first half of the game we couldn’t concentrate well, but, we got our act together by the second half.” replied Bearcat Calvin Mackell. Their concentra- tion paid off as the Bearcats defeated the Euclid Panthers 6-3. The Panthers arrived without a victory to their record not knowing they would be leaving the same way — giving the Bearcats their 2nd straight Homecoming victory. As Friday night arrived, the girl who would reign over Homecoming was finally announced. Jill Spevak. Mitress of Cere- monies. excitedly exclaimed, The 1981 Homecoming Queen is . . Marie Mackris!” “Before the announcement, I was really nervous, but after I found out 1 had won. 1 felt relieved that it was all over.” exclaimed Marie.

May 22, 1981: A sugar-coated prom The hall was elegant and enchanting, decorated with a sense of style echoing Bedford’s colors of green and white. The setting was Stouffer’s Somerset Inn, May 22, 1981, and the occasion could only be Prom. “Even though you go crazy for a few months running around, getting things done, everything pays off on that last fi- nal day, remarked Junior Class Presi- dent Maria Natali. Paying for Prom was successfully accomplished by selling can- dy, coupon booklets. Christmas orna- ments, and popcorn. Other fund-raisers in- cluded car washes, a donation from the Kiwanis Club, and a Rock-A-Thon co-spon- sored with Student Senate during the win- ter. Festivities for Prom began at 7:30 with the serving of dinner. The evening’s menu included such dishes as roast beef, lasagna, fresh fruit salad, au gratin pota- toes. and desert. Following dinner, music filled the air compliments of Pineapple Wine as 202 couples moved to the beat. When 10:00 drew near, couples moved back to their tables anxiously awaiting the beginning of coronation as The Best of Times by Styx filtered through the hall. After welcoming everyone to the evening’s festivities. Master of Ceremonies Mike Richuisa introduced last year’s queen Cathy Cooper and this year’s queen Anne Spadaro and her attendents Angela Palladino and Kris Collins. When asked later, Anne summed up her crown- ing by saying. “It is a night I'll always re- member.’ At midnight, most couples departed for the high school cafeteria where the band “Why Us?” was performing the music for post-prom. The evening’s activities ended around 2:30 A M. when everyone headed home for a few hours of sleep to prepare for the busy weekend ahead. STRUTTING THEIR STUFF.

Duran Gonzalez fight, and the showdown of the Browns vs the Steelers came to Cleveland, all in one weekend. Television also brought some devastat- ing rereports which rocked the world. The Solidarity Movement in Poland and the situation in El Salvador forced Americans to reexamine the effects of a corrupt gov- ernment. Americans were shocked when an afternoon NewsBreak revealed films never before seen of the assassination of Egyptian Prime Minister, Anwar Sadat. As ERA gained importance on the American Scene, great strides were made when the Washington Club admitted its first woman and Sandra Day Flying objects made the news frequent- ly this year as the Spacecraft Columbia took off as well as the Medflies that in- fested California, threatening the states crop industry. The Voyager 2 got off the ground successfully to relay pictures of Saturn to the Earth. More disturbing how- ever. were those flights delayed and can- celled due to the Air Traffic Controller strike. A weight conscious America looked on as weightloss enthusiast. Richard Simmons, brought his own show to prime time from early morning TV viewing. Television also developed the night time “soap operas” from the afternoon soap opera craze, with Dallas. Dynasty. Fla- mingo Road, Knotts Landing, and Kings Crossing. The highlight on soap opera viewing this year was the marriage of characters Luke and Laura on Gener- al Hospital. The world watched an even more glamorous wedding as Prince Charles and Lady Diana exchanged vows.

Pri- vate Eyes, played everywhere for weeks. Some albums which made it big this year were Freeze Frame by the J. Geils Band. Bella Donna by Stevie Nicks, and 4 by Foreigner. Souls fans were not left out either, with appearances by Roger Troutman and by Sugar Hill to keep the beat going. Movies also were a popular means of entertainment this year. If you’re into ad- venture, you probably went to see Raid- ers of the Lost Ark, or Supermann II. For those who enjoy horror flicks, who could forget Halloween II. Friday the 13th, or Venom. More serious themes included Reds. Taps. Four Seasons, Absence of Malice, and On Golden Pond whose cast was star filled. RUBY TUESDAY.

The 1981-82 school year offered a va- riety of 15 clubs and organizations to choose from. The clubs and organizations provide a chance for some students to connect with and learn more about their classmates, while other clubs and organi- zations allow groups of people to get to- gether for a common purpose, be it intra- mural sports such as ping-pong and backgammon, or the activities of N.H.S. or Spanish Club. The extra-curricular activities at BHS range from a wide-variety of interests that begin with the expression of school spirit like the cheerleading organization to actu- ally giving the school something to cheer for in the intramural organizations. Are you a serious or strictly academic oriented individual? Then the Academic Challenge team or National Honor Society might fit the bill for you. Are you outgo- ing and enjoy having fun? Join G.A.A., Thearts. or the Spanish or French Club. If you enjoy helping others, then Friendship Club might be for you. Even though the number of clubs and organizations has decreased this year by two, with the temporary elimination of the Bedford Christian Fellowship Club and the Science Club, students have continued to support and organize the major clubs and organizations. Four of Bedford’s clubs and organizations have been in existence since 1923. The Dabbler, BHS’s third yearbook, pictured four clubs; the Bedford Hi Y Club, Friendship Club, Glee Club and the Orchestra Club. The membership was made up of the 110 students en- rolled at that time. Clubs and organiza- tions come and go with enrollment and in- terests of students—but the idea itself is obviously here to stay. 20 Clubs and Organizations Clubs and Organizations 21 Autumns' Endless Love Times are changing and so are tradi- tions. It is traditional to pick several stu- dents in a club as officers, but this year, the Friendship Club did not elect officers. The apparent reason being that the club was experiencing problems with communi- cation within itself. “Some girls joined so many clubs and activities that they had no time for Friendship Club,” stated Advi- sor Mrs. Potapenko. Freshman Jeni DeFrench added, “Some of the girls just didn’t like each other.” In spite of their troubles, the club con- tinued with planned events. One event that they sponsor is the Harvest Hop. the first formal dance of the school year. On the night of October 17th, 1981, Karen Lazanich was crowned queen of the dance. Qualifications for the title of queen include being a member of the club, being a senior, and having a service pin for at least one year. The month of December carried with it a party for the underpriviledged children in the Bedford area. Junior Anita Reaoch commented, “We asked friends and neigh- bors for presents, and the money we earned from the Harvest Hop went to- ward the party.” Along with these functions, the club also earned money from selling Valen- tine’s Day flowers. World’s Finest Candy, and having car washes. Money made went toward a visit to the Jennings Nurs- ing Home where they took different kinds of Easter baskets to the patients. Mrs. Potapenko concluded, “Any money left over goes into the treasury for next year’s events.” ENDLESS NIGHT The Friendship Club, plagued by many problems this year, still managed to sponsor I the only formal dance at Bedford this year. Couples! danced the night away in the cafeteria. 22 Friendship Club CROWNING GLORY.

Terl went on to represent Bedford in the state wide VICA competition in Massillon In the Autumn of 1981, the traditional VICA Queen Contest was held. The cho- sen winner went on to represent Bedford High School in the state competition held in Massillon. As the eight candidates ner- vously waited at the rear of the audito- rium with their escorts, 1980-81 Ohio VICA president Lisa Hedrick welcomed the audience and judges. Candidates for queen must first pass a test that deals solely with information about the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA). ‘‘We had to know about twenty pages including the VICA pledge and motto,” recalled candidate Deanna Davis. Besides the test, nominees were also asked various questions by school counselors. Following the evaluation of each test and interview, eight candidates were selected for the competition. They were Anita Allen, Lisa Bell, Connie Carano, Deanne Davis, Treleen Ferry, Connie Gerycz, Sandy Klukan, and Teri Mizak. Judges for the contest numbered five and included Dave Sharp, a Disc Jockey from Ml05 and a 1980 graduate of BHS. For the pageant, each girl was required to tell a little about herself and her future career goals. They were rated on appear- ance and how well they answered their question. After the points were added up, the new 1981 VICA Queen had been deter- mined. Teri Mizak won the title and later traveled to Massillon to compete there. “I was really surprised!” remarked Teri. Es- corted by Chris Rote, she made her way to the front of the stage to be crowned by 1980 Queen Sue Penix. Deanna Davis later stated. “To see who won was the best part.” VICA 25 Sporting a Cheer ‘‘The cheerleaders gave us support when we needed it the most, said varsi- ty football player Rick Ladina. Although Bedford’s football record wasn’t as good as expected, the cheerleaders were doing their job boosting spirit and team morale. The cheerleading squad is one of the most active clubs here at BHS. Whether our team is winning or losing, the cheerleaders give 100%. But their job doesn’t end when the game is over. Dur- ing school they decorate the cafeteria, lockerrooms, hallways, and even football players’ houses. Most cheerleaders have different rea- sons for enjoying their role as a promoter of school spirit. Varsity basketball cheerleader Terra Redus says, ‘‘Traveling to different schools is a rewarding part of being a cheerleader.” She also feels that a group of girls working together and sharing their ideas with each other while inventing new routines is a fun part of the job. Wrestling cheerleader Terri Mizak comments, “I like cheering along with making things for the guys. We’re making scrap books from pictures and newspaper articles from times we bring cameras to the games. Being a cheerleader is not all fun and games though. Like any other club they have their upsets, too. One grievance is the disappointment of not being able to build mounds. All the cheerleaders feel the decision should be up to the parents. Another complaint is the organization of the demerit system. ‘‘When you give or get demerits, it’s not hurting the person, it’s hurting the squad, declares Terri Mazak. Demerit system or not, cheerleading is a big part of the athletics that take place at BHS and the cheerleaders should be complimented for encouraging school spirit.

Mike Martinez hams it up for the crowd as they play a pre-game fight song Continued growth and transition were the hallmarks of this year’s band. A Rifle Corp was added to the Marching Band, and the Flag Corp was featured more of- ten than in the past. It was a year of building, with only 24 seniors out of a to- tal group of 150 members. A lot of work was done with an eye towards the future. The Marching Band season began with the annual band camp at Muskingham College. Band camp is a lot of fun, but it’s also a lot of hard work,” said junior John Bradley. “You march about 12 hours each day to learn the routines, but there’s still time to do whatever you want, added Bradley. For the seniors, their free time was often taken up with initiation of new band mambers, called Greenies”. ‘‘Initiation of the Greenies is good because it makes them work hard,” stated Rena Bugarin. Senior Brian Langguth added, ‘‘There were fewer initi- ations this year than in the past, and it showed. Some of the Greenies weren’t as willing to listen to the seniors as they should have been, so they didn’t learn the routines as fast as they could have. With the start of school came the regu- lar season’s schedule of marching at foot- ball games. Besides this, the band also performed at the Nordonia Festival of Bands and at the McDowell Competition in Erie, Pennsylvania. ‘‘Competitions such as McDowell are good because they make you perform under pressure,” stated di- rector Don Sullivan. When the Marching Band wasn’t prac- tising or performing, its members could usually be found working on their Home- coming float. The late hours and missed homework assignments were not in vain however, and the band won the float competition with their theme, pave the Panthers”. Band 29 And then Comes JAZZ After the football season was over.the band divided into three groups; Wind En- semble, Symphonic Band, and Concert Band. Mr. Sullivan directed the Wind En- semble and assistant director Mrs. Deb- orah Scheuffler was in charge of the other two groups. In addition to performing at the Christmas and Spring concerts, the band took part in district competition. “This year the Wind Ensemble moved up to class ‘A’ competition instead of class ‘B’ where we had been previously,’ Mr Sullivan explained. “We were being judged on a higher level, so we felt that we should, and could play the harder mu- sic.” As in the Marching Band the three concert bands were composed of underclass students, and will be looking forward to even higher levels of achieve- ment in the next few years. “This year’s Jazz Ensemble was a pret- ty hard working group,” commented drummer Tom Kramer. “Everyone worked together to make the group sound smooth, instead of trying to be featured soloists. The Jazz Ensemble has played at such events as the Home and Flowere Show at the Cleveland Convention Center and the Lakeland Jazz Festival. Each year they also host the Bedford Jazz Festival, which includes performances by area high school jazz aggregations. Another aspect of the instrumental mu- sic program at BHS, under the direction of Mr. Sullivan, was the Orchestra. Violin- ist Becky Dashko commented, “Although we’re not the dominant musical group, we performed a lot better at the Christmas concert than we expected. We’re working towards a possible spring concert. I Wish we performed more often.” BLOW OUT Featured on the trombone to Senior Craig Lott� The football season means a lot of work, but It’s kind of nice to see the games and help the team rally.” commented Craig. 30 Jazz Ensemble DRUM ROLLS.

CHRISTMAS CONCERT At the annual Christmas Concert. December 18th. the tenor section of A Capella Choir perform Verbum. It was a year of changes for the group under new director Mr Wal lace.

The Lord Bleu You and Keep You. of the pre-Christ mas concert at Heskett Junior High, is Mr James Wallace There were many changes in Bedford’s choral department during the '81’82 school year. One of the changes occured with the retirement of director, Thomas Shellhammer. His successors included Delores Fowler and Fine Arts Supervisor James Wallace. A Cappella Choir began their year un- der the leadership of Wallace. With the change in leaders came the change in style of direction. “The students did not fully understand my sense of direction. They had certain conceptions of what it should be on the basis of former exper- ience,” said Wallace. The long range goal for the choir, ac- cording to Wallace was to have in the choir those with a high level of musical ability and intelligence. “The calibre of any group is based on the musical intelli- gence and how they interpret the score,” commented Wallace. A Cappella performed at Heskett, and for the Christmas concert. Future plans included performances in the GCC Choir Festival at Euclid High School, along with choirs from Euclid, Willoughby, and Eastlake; at Bedford United Methodist Church; and during “Music in Our Schools Week”, which proclaims music as an art. In '80-81, Delores Fowler was the assis- tant Choir Director to Thomas Shellham- mer. After his retirement she became Di- rector of Madrigals. Girls Glee Club, Show Choir, Sophomore Chorus, and two fresh- man choruses. “Last year 20 people were too many for Madrigals to sing in some places. Though Shellhammer wanted to expand the group, the original number of 16 was easier to accomodate,’ commented Fowler. Chorus 33 New Sound Dimensions Literature from the Renaissance period is the primary form of music the group studies. The songs are performed without any accompaniment, and working for a perfect blend is the number one concern of the group. The most active performance group in the music department, they have per- formed at the Bedford Oktoberfest, Bed- ford United Methodist Church, with Show Choir at Heskett, Terminal Tower, Higbee’s, Richman Brother’s, Bedford Ro- tary, Cook United, and Chanel. This year’s Girls Glee Club expanded from 30 to 50. The additional girls were those who didn’t make A Cappella Choir. So far, the group has performed in the Christmas concert, and at Sunny Acres Nursing Home during the holiday season. A goal for Girls Glee is to make it to dis- trict contest and a performance in the GCC Girls Glee Club Festival held at Mayfield High School. The all volunteer Show Choir became the newest addition to the choral depart- ment in 1981. The group which meets three hours per week, performs pop mu- sic, and songs from musicals and movies. “One problem Show Choir faced was that noone knew the group even existed,’ commented Fowler. Despite that fact, 76 people auditioned for 20 positions. A performance in the Show Choir Festi- val on February 28, to benefit Huntingtons Disease, along with perfor- mances in the annual Christmas concert, a program at St. Mary’s School and Heskett, and the Spring Sing, were also a part of this year’s itinerary. Freshmen and Sophomore Chourses round out the vocal aspects of the music department. Both groups help train in ex- perienced voices for participation in A Cappella and Girls Glee. SHOWY CHOIR. This years Show Choir, under the direction of Mrs Delores Fowler, had a busy sched- ule. Performances included the annual Christmas concert, as well as a benefit performance for Huntington's disease, and appearances at other] schools. 34 A Cappella SILENT NIGHT Mrs Kewiey. secretary at BHS en- joys the annual Christmas concert.

RENAISSANCE REVIVAL Incorporating music from the Renaissance into the music program at BHS has been one of Mr Wallace’s goals as new A Cappells director Here the group performs Beh Fiehlden Engel. CHRISTMAS DELIGHT Splitting the choir into two groups with the boys on one side and the girls on the other was necessary for this number.

All of the girls from Rifles, Flags, and Majorettes are officially signed up for Band as a class, but they don’t receive any credit. Halle Berry said, “I really en- joy being a part of Flags, ‘‘even though it takes a lot of hard work I’m always will- ing to do my best.” ‘‘We could have got- ten a lot more accomplished if everyone would have put forth more effort,” com- mented Abby Hajek. “It’s unusual for a sophomore to be named Captain of the Majorettes,” Laurie Aquino commented, “It takes a lot of hard work to prepare for these events and a lot of patience to get the group to work as a team.” “Some people think it’s easy to twirl a baton, but their wrong it takes many hours of practice,” stated Tracie Niland. Half way through the school year the Majorettes did away with the position of captain because rather than helping the group to get organized it caused too many conflicts. ‘‘The Drill Team worked on their own. I couldn’t teach them anything because I don’t really know the technical aspects of drilling. I’m just there to make sure noth- ing goes wrong,” said Assistant Principal, Mr. Perez. The future of the Drill Team, as well as several other organizations at BHS is uncertain because of the difficulty of finding advisers for groups. The Drill Team’s efforts were appreciated by Coach Kennedy, who felt as though they added something to the home Basketball games. FLAGS FLYING A new addition to the Bands half time show is the Rag Corp “Being a member of Flags was a lot of hard work, but I really enjoyed it.'’ exclaimed Halle Berry Flags 37 Mayor For a Day “To bring about a more democratic form of student government is what stu- dent Senate is all about,” expressed Sen- ate Advisor Mr. Tom Donovan. The mem- bers and officers of Student Senate are organized to help needy children, charity organizations and to help promote activi- ties here at BHS as well. In order to par- ticipate in the elections of any Student Senate members, class officers, or queens you must be a registered voter. Being a registered voter shows that you are taking an active part and showing interest in your school’s activities. “Student government day is a day when High School students assume var- ious positions in their city’s government offices in order to get a better under- standing of their city government, first hand,” exclaimed new Mayor Harry A. Mackey Jr. of Walton Hills. Annually over 80 local government officials and nearly 100 Bedford students participate in the recognition dinner sponsored by the Kiwanians prior to spending a day at the various municipal offices. The first Bed- ford High School Student Government day was held in 1962. The program was founded by George Taylor, president of the Kiwanis Club that year. Student Senate members volunteer their time toward the celebration of the Christmas holidays at the Big Brothers party to help bring joy and laughter into childrens hearts. Unfortunately, the volun- teers couldn’t make the trip to Cleveland for the party due to bad weather, but not all was lost, the baked goods were deliv- ered safely. “The student body was very helpful by donating money to the United Way at the beginning of the year,” stated Nadine Srp. Senate is very generous in giving their time to help collect money for Unit- ed Way and the Cancer Society. DINNER DATE Flo Esogbue listens while her Stu- dent Government Day counterpart.

Mrs Grace Kozak plays Sheila, a slightly shady lady, who is insulting Freddie (played by Annette Drowlette) in Go Ask Alice Lights, cameras, action! This signals the excitement of a production underway. From make-up calls to curtain calls the Thearts Society offers experience on the stage as well as work behind the scences. The driving force behind Thespians and the Thearts productions is the energetic, four year veteran. Mrs. Mary Ann Costa. Bedford High School won’t settle for any ordinary actors and actresses but is a member of the international group of Thespians. To become a Thespian you need a minimum of ten points in acting and stage work. At the end of the year, new members are inducted into the Inter- national Thespian Society where a formal ceremony is held and they receive a certi- ficate. For each play produced, a student di- rector is choosen by the drama coach. Secretary Kelly Vinson, was student direc- tor for the spring production. The Great All-American Musical Disaster. The Thearts fall production, Go Ask Alice, was taken from the real diary of a girl who was addicted to drugs and tried desparately but unsuccessfully to break that addiction. Even though it was a mod- ern story about teenagers, there were four adults involved in the cast; Mrs. Kozak played Sheila, a prostitute, with Mrs. Costa as her understudy. Surprising- ly. Miss Bott had no previous acting ex- perience before her role as Dr. Miller, a psychiatrist who tried to help Alice. “The work sessions to build the sets helped me fit in and be a part of the cast,” said Miss Bott. Commenting on the play. Mrs. Costa said, “Even with the experience I have in directing, I seem to learn more with each new play.’ When asked if Thearts could be improved, “It would be extermely helpful to have a stagecraft class.’’ Thearts 41 Schussing on Champagne Not many people actually wish for snow, except. . .the members of the BHS Ski Club. “Let it snow!’ , commented Jeannie Mackris as she faithfully listened to the weather forecast for Thursdays. Members of the Ski Club braved the ele- ments to enjoy their favorite winter sport. Buses left Bedford High School at 5:30 each Thursday headed for Brandywine Ski Slopes, as they have been doing for the past eight years. Although an exciting and exhilarating sport, skiing can get to be expensive. Rental fees for skis and boots have gone up from $46.00 in ’81 to $66.00 this year. Despite the costs. Ski Club member- ship remained fairly constant, at 127 members this year. Many Ski Club members are novices so for those who may have needed ski in- struction. Brandywine had a beginners class. More experienced members also coached the beginners. Senior Laura Pachnowski never skiied before this year and received tutoring from Eric Knipple. For those of more experience there is Champagne, Brandywine’s largest hill or Zombie, for skiers with even more exper- ience. This year’s outings have unfortunately not been hassle free. A series of fights carried over from Thursday to Thursday, were a disappointment. Dave Berry com- mented, “Some people had a conflict here at Bedford and they carried it out onto the slopes. ’ Ski Club adviser Mr. Kunkel added, “Ski Club will not remain in its present form in the future. The day may be changed, the time may be changed, or it may not be here at all.” So whether you were learning to ski or teaching others, the slopes were the place to be this winter. “Everybody was helpful to each other and they told you how to do things the right way. It was like one big happy family.’’, added Jackie Franek. SUITING UP. Getting ready to hit the slopes ts nov- ice skuer, Laura Pachnowski Laura joined Ski Club this year at the urging of her friends and said it was easier than she expected. “The hardest part was getting off the chair lift.” said Laura. 42 Ski Club HOT DOG Experienced skiier Bandy Kaufmann shows off before heading down the hillside This is Bandy's third year in Ski Gub and he is one of the members who attempt the tricky moguls of Zombie.

This was one of the many offerings in the fall Intramurals program TIME OUT Not only does Mr Borys Korduba orga- nize the Intramural program after school, he also doubles as referee. The male and female basketball competition were among the most popular after school offerings this winter. FRANTIC FAN Rosalyn McIntyre looks on despairingly as her team mates go down to defeat in an Intramural match while Eric Odell attempts to rally support for the girls 44 Intramurals After School Athletes GRAB BALL Lisa Lewis battles for the ball as team mate '‘Rocky” Kindall gaurds Both juniors participated in the Intramurals basketball program for females. “I don't have the time or skill to be on the regular basketball team, so I really enjoyed Intramurals stated Lisa. In 1971 the idea of organizing cocurricular activities that included both male and female students evolved and has been a strong organization ever since. Intramurals has a definite purpose, “to give males and females the opportunity to engage in extracurricular physical and mental activities,” stated Mr. Korduba, the Intramural Adviser, “especially those not in junior varsity or varsity sports.’ It also gives the students an opportunity to meet new people with the same interests. The intramural program not only gives BHS students an opportunity to meet new people and play in organized sports, but also gives students a physical outlet throughout the school year. These are only a few positive aspects of intramurals. Another is that over 300 students partici- pate in the program every year. The pro- gram is seasonal and about 160 students participate in activities each, season. This year the intramural activities in- cluded a physical fitness contest, mini- marathon, table tennis, basketball, tennis, and soccer. All but one of the activities is co educational and that is basketball, which is divided into ninth and tenth grad- ers that are separated from juniors and seniors. Mr. Korduba explained his rea- soning, “The physical and mental compe- tition between a freshman and junior, or sophomore and senior is not equal and I don’t want to see anyone get hurt.” Mr. Korduba feels that the addition of ninth grade and female sports has hurt the intramural program because the avail- ability of the gym has decreased tremen- dously; there just isn’t anytime to practice or play. Also, “the morning announcements are the only means of communication be- tween the activities and the students and half the school can barely hear,” declared Mr. Korduba. Intramurals 45 Lending a Helping Hand Volunteer student activities often supply the foundation for the “business as usual” atmosphere at BHS. During a play production here, the suc- cess and credit of the performance goes immediately to the cast members. Behind the scenes organizations are often over- looked. The Lighting Crew are volunteers who basically work after school. Craig Murray, a crew member states, “We run the spotlights and curtains during plays and concerts. None of the members of the crew receive credit for what they do, but I don’t care, I like it anyhow.” The televisions and projectors which serve as educational tools, do not miracu- lously appear in classrooms, ready to use. The Audio-Visual Office sends volunteer workers out to set up the necessary equipment, as well as to check malfunc- tioning machinery, and return them to the AV office when they are no longer need- ed. “Freedom from study hall,” said senior Ron Galo, “is the reason I like working in the AV office.” Some volunteer services give students valuable skills, such as the Clinic Aids. School Nurse Tirpak feels that all of her clinic helpers are “learning responsibility for proper health care.” She also com- mented that, “The aids have the responsi- bility of signing students in and out of the clinic on the attendence sheet and individ- ual cards, helping with basic first aid, fil- ing and typing, and keeping a supply of ice bags.” In the Physical Education Department, having one teacher per 30 students often makes it difficult for each student to get the personal attention they deserve. Gym volunteers make it easier for each student to get the help they need. Even though they seldom get the credit they deserve, behind the scenes people perform a nec- essary function. A M NEWS. One of the voices you hear each mom mg ts that of Tonya Miller, who informs the student body of coming events during the morning announce- ments Besides being a lot of fun, this is good exper icnce for Tonya, who plans on majoring in communi- cations. 46 Behind the Scenes SIGNING OUT.

What are the component parts? Is it the players, the coach, the competition, the dedication, the spirit, the spectators; or could it be all of these, that make up the athletic connection? For the students at BHS everything counts, because it is the coach who tells HIGH SIGN Junior Beth Andrus gives her teammates the thumbs up signal to indicate her vic- tory in the 100 meter free style event. The team won the meet against Solon. 102 to 60. TIME OUT Having a painful time is Freshman Ron Culpepper who takes a moment out to ease the pain. Several plays later Ron was back in the game to help win a victory against Trinity. The won lost record is not the players their moves and when to make them, it’s the competition that builds the dedication of a team, and it is the spirit that brings the spectators to our events. Everything together makes our teams put forth their greatest effort for Bedford High School. The girls track team showed their com- petitive spirit by winning the Greater Cleveland Conference title in the Spring of 1981, while the boys track team ad- vanced to the sectionals. Winning only 3 out of 10 games this year left the Varsity Football team low in spirit; the dedication was there, but the competition was too tough to beat. The basketball team, coached by Steve Kennedy, in his first year at BHS, got off to a flying start with an overtime victory over Brunswick in their season opener. Sports are one of the many ways that the four grade levels at BHS come to- gether. It allows the upperclassmen to pass what they have learned from pre- vious experiences on to the underclass- men. The most important indicator of the success of a team is not necessarily the won lost record, but, dedication and the overall spirit displayed by the three most important elements of any sporting event; the players who make up the team, the coaches who teach and lead the team, and the fans who watch and support them. If any of these things were not present there would be a missing link in the athletic connection. 48 Sports It's the connection made between fans and athletes what counts Sports 49 Loeffler’s “At the start of the ’81 season the team’s attitude was very optimistic,” stat- ed Coach Loeffler. However, the high hopes of the Bearcat squad were not real- ized this season as the team finished 7th in the GCC and was 11-13 overall. There were some bright spots for the Bearcats. They broke no less than 7 indi- vidual or team records; including most homeruns by any Bedford team, and most homeruns by any player, Ron Konik with 5. They also defeated Willoughby South, Mayfield, and Maple Hts. twice. In the Mayfield game. Coach Loeffler reached a personal goal when he won his 200th victory. “It was one of the most memorable moments in my 18 years of coaching,” remarked Mr. Loeffler. The team had some outstanding play- ers; senior Pat Collins led the team in two base hits and overall batting average with a hefty .348, senior Ron Konik hit 5 homeruns and drove in 18, Junior Chip Moore hit a strong .339 with 8 two- baggers and 10 RBI’s, and pitcher Rich Barr the only sophomore on the team, tied for the team lead in victories with 4, and had a good 3.72 ERA. Senior Pat Collins had an additional honor bestowed on him when he was cho- sen to represent the team in the East- West All Star Game and earned MVP honors. 1981 VARSITY BASEBALL BHS OPP 5 Garfield 1 2 Nordonia 3 1 Brush 2 9 University 6 7 Willoughby 2 13 Orange 12 2 Eastlake 3 7 Euclid 9 0 Mayfield 9 8 Solon 9 4 Nordonia 9 5 Mentor 2 11 Maple 4 0 Brush 2 6 Willoughby 12 0 Eastlake 5 10 Garretsville 2 17 Garretsville 9 4 Euclid 10 1 Valley Forge 3 8 Mayfield 7 3 Mentor 8 11 Garfield 9 7 Maple 4 Won 11 Lost 13 200th Win Boys' Varsity Baseball Bottom row; Jamie Batten, Dale Blackburn, Rich Barr.

We had a very strong group of players on the team, and there are some very good prospects for the future, remarked third year J.V. baseball coach Mr. Tom Donovan. The team finished the 1981 season with a record of 8-12. Outstanding players on the ’81 team were Rick Dolejs, Joel Morozek, and Rich Bielecki. Dolejs, who completed the sea- son with a batting average of .333, smashed a team-leading total of five home runs, and stole 16 bases. Morozek led all the pitchers with a 6-3 record, pitched six complete games, and had the lowest ERA with 0.99. Bielecki led the team with a batting average of .417. Dolejs and Morozek tied for the most hits, with 17 each. Mike DiCorpo characterized the season as “Pretty good, the team as a whole hit well, but we seemed to make too many errors.” The team committed 97. Coach Donovan felt that the toughest game that the J.V. team played during the season was the game against Eastlake North. “The game was tied 0-0 for eight innings when the Rangers erupted for four runs in the nineth to win 4-0,” reported Donovan. Another highlight of the season was when pitcher Joel Morozek came within two outs of a perfect game against Euclid. Joel remarked, “I pitched the best game that I could pitch, but it simply wasn’t enough.” Players Touch Base 1981 J.V.

Baseball 53 Girls Reign at G.C.C. “We worked as a team and not as indi- viduals” remarked Celeste Taylor, “The girls pushed each other in the meets.” This attitude developed depth and took up the slack when key girls came down with injuries. The end result being our second consecutive GCC championship. Injuries plagued the team throughout the season. Flo Esogbue, Ohio’s best long jumper in 1980, pulled a knee ligament and did not run until the third meet of the 1981 season. “My Doctor said not to run for a while and he gave me many ex- ercises to help my knee get stronger. But 1 hated being on the sidelines, so I decid- ed to run.” stated Flo. Coach Heard did not allow her to long jump at all last year. “He was afraid my knee would give out when I landed, so he only let me run” added Flo. Anita White pulled her right thigh mus- cle during practice and she reinjured it when she ran in the semi-final qualifying round at the District Meet. Anita was forced to scratch from the three events which she had already qualified for, the 100, 200, and sprint relay teams. Before her injury she was ranked 1st in the 100 and 200 meter sprints in the greater Cleveland area. Distance runner Donna Kallos sprained her left ankle severly when she stepped into a pothole on the BHS track during spring practice. “Mr. Heard kept us out of the meets because he wanted us healthy for sectionals and beyond. The girls took up the slack and filled in for the injured people.” stated Nicole Jack- son. However the team was still able to win all but one of its dual meets. “We did not have any competition until the end of the season when we faced teams in the relays and sectionals,” re- called Celeste Taylor. The girls overpow- ered every team in the GCC except Men- tor. “Mentor surprised us because they had improved considerably since the 1980 season.” Coach Heard commented. “In the GCC meet, it came down to the last event, which was the mile relay. Karen Burkle ‘out kicked’ the Mentor girl at the finish line to give us the championship.” explained Nicole Jackson. In the 1980 season, for the first time in four years, because of injuries to the sprinters, Bedford was not represented in the sprints or sprint relays, at the State Track and Field Championships held at OSU. The two mile relay team did qualify with a time of 9:32.0. “Three of the four girls had never been there before and we were very nervous about it. I ran my fastest time ever, and we came in 12th overall.” recalled Donna Kallos. Six new track records were established this season: 100 yard hurdles, Nicole Jackson. 15.3 seconds; sprint medley re- lay, Marilyn Reese, Sandy Bell, Flo Esogbue, Anita White, 1:32.2; two mile relay. Donna Kallos, Chris Kennedy, Latina Bailey, Karen Burkle, 9:32.0; 1600 meters, Chris Kennedy, 5:39.0; 200 meters, Anita White, 25.4 seconds; 400 meter relay, Marilyn Reese, Flo Esogbue, Sandy Bell, Mary Dashko, 50.0 seconds. Perhaps the records were broken because as Donna Kallos said, “This team was very disciplined and that is why we were so good.” 1981 GIRL’S TRACK BHS OPP 64 Regina 46 52 Nordonia 58 71 Mayfield 39 58V Mentor 51V 88 Maple 22 90 Willoughby 20 88 Brush 22 78 Euclid 32 Eastlake forfeit WON 8 LOST 1 GCC CHAMPIONS 54 Track LAST LEG.

This year many of the people were holding down jobs when track began. “We needed the money for college tuition and for other necessities. When practice started, I either went to practice for about a half-hour or I skipped it all to- gether. recalled Bob Richnavsky. He usually worked at Gold Circle from 5:00 to 10:00 at night. Bedford lost three of their first five meets by a grand total of nine points. “The reason for the losses was injuries and people were not in shape because they goofed around.’ replied Brent Heishman. During the season, Bedford’s distance runners were beaten by Maple, Mentor, and Euclid by the average score of 24-3. “our distance was not exper- ienced, and they would only get a few points in their events.” recalled Steve Fowler. Two key injuries occured during the spring practices. Dave Sewell, who hur- dled both the 110 meter highs and the 300 meter lows, anchored the 400 meter relay, sprinted the third leg of the 1600 meter relay, and ran the 200 meter dash, was hit in the eye while walking through the halls of BHS. He almost lost his sight and had to remain in the hospital for sev- eral weeks. “When Dave was injured, I knew that our chance of winning the Greater Cleveland Conference championship was hurt, commented Keith Fuller. Sewell did not return to practice until the third meet of the year. Mike Freund, ace distance runner, who ran both the one and two mile, was in- jured while running 200 meter sprints. He twisted his right knee and was sidelined for the remainder of the year. At the sectional meet, held at John Carroll University, only one team member qualified for districts. Discus thrower Alvin Dozie placed third in his event and quali- fied for the districts at Baldwin Wallace University. “I threw the discus 150 ft., which was my best throw of the year,” replied Alvin. Although he qualified for districts, he failed to show on time for his event and was disqualified. A1 Mines, who had one of the best times in the Cleve- land area (48.6 secs.) in the 400 meter dash, placed a disappointing 6th in the event at the sectionals. “The 400 meter Track 57 They Keep on Running race was right after the 400 meter relay and I was tired from running,' comment- ed Al. He failed to advance to Baldwin Wallace because only the top three finish- ers proceed to the next round. Dave Sewell qualified for the 110 meter high hurdles finals with a time of 14.9 seconds, but he placed 4th with a time of 14.6 seconds and could not advance. “Dave was nervous and when the race began he settled down too late and could not catch up to the other hurdlers. recalled Coach Balcer. A mathematical formula is used to de- termine the GCC Championship. Dan Annett explained, “The dual meets count as fifty percent. Our team was in 6th place after the dual meets and we placed 4th in the GCC meet. As a result we moved up to 5th overall in the GCC standings. In the GCC meet Bedford broke five records. At the Brush relays, Bedford took first place in both the 800 meter and sprint medley relays. Bedford also broke Brush’s track record in the sprint medley with a time of 1:35.1. In all, nine new records were posted this past season: Al Mines, 200 meter, 22.4 seconds and 400 meter, 48.6 seconds; Dave Sewell, 110 meter high hurdles. 14.6 seconds and 300 meter low hurdles. 37.5 seconds; Al Mines.

Nevertheless, there was a lot of team spirit. Team member Maria Natali remarked, “All the girls were psyched up and ready to play. Nearly ev- eryone on the team stuck together and backed each other up.” Head Coach this year was Mr. Dave Earl, assisted by J.V. Coach Mr Jack Shutts. Sally Ridgway broke the only varsity record this year, with a batting average of .724. Due to poor conditions and overcrowd- ing on the baseball diamonds, all of the home softball games were played at other locations. The varsity girls played at Taft Park in Bedford, while the J.V. team played at Central Elementary School. Coach Shutts commented, ‘‘I don’t like playing away from the school because most of the girls have no way to get to the field.” The J.V. girls were not too enthused about having to play at another field, ei- ther. Toni Jonozzo commented, ‘’It may be an inconvenience for some, but I like to play anywhere!” Team spirit seemed to be a little down this year, because so many girls came out for the team, not everyone had a chance to play in each game.

Softball 61 A Season for Changes “The whole season was a mystery. That’s how Junior Wide Receiver, Mike Valanti, explained Bedford’s 3 7 record for 1981. Most Bearcat football fans had high expectations since Bedford was com- ing off a good 5-4-1 record in 1980. The season started off fine with a win over Twinsburg Chamberlin 12-8. Then things sent downhill as Bedford was sent reeling with four consecutive defeats at the hands of Garfield Heights, Solon, Brush, and Mayfield. During this span, the Bearcats were outscored 102-6. But after switching quarterbacks, Bedford cranked out back-to-back victories with a shutout against Eastlake North 13-0 and a Home- coming victory against Euclid 6-3. Bedford then lost a bitter defensive struggle with arch-rival Maple Heights in a swirling snowstorm. The season ended with losses to Willoughby South 20-6 and Mentor 19- 0. Senior Kevin “Dirt’’ Nietert felt that Garfield Heights, Euclid, and Maple Heights were the key games of the sea- son. “Maple was vital because we could’ve turned things around if we had won.” Valenti continued, “We were start- ing to win some games then we lost the heartbreaker to Maple. Nietert believed that “the offense wasn’t as good as we thought it would be. The lack of a kicking game also hurt.” He cited that Bedford had three kickers during the course of the year not to mention the shuffle of quarter- backs. Not everything was bad for Bedford though. “The defense was pretty good, claimed Offensive Tackle Dave Klaasse, a junior. Nietert pointed out that Bearcat Seniors Chip Moore, Linebacker, and Arnie Petek, Center, were named first string All-Conference. It was also the first year that Bedford beat Euclid in a confer- ence game. “You can’t lose Homecom- ing!” declared Mike Klaasse. At the end of the season, the annual football awards dinner was held. Receiv- ing commendations were Arnie Petek for Outstanding Offensive Lineman, Warren Culpepper for Outstanding Offensive Back, Jeff Brown for Outstanding Defen- sive Lineman, Paul Fredericks for Most Improved Player, and Chip Moore was awarded Outstanding Defensive Back. True Grit, and Most Valuable Player. 62 Varsity Football NUMBER ONE The spirit was there but the varsity squad was unable to transfer It into a winning sea son A number of changes throughout the season kept the Cats off balance and culminated with the resignation of Head Coach Prahst TIME OUT Momentarily stunned.

Football Young Cats Movin’ Up The team played well, especially on defense and the longer they play togeth- er, the more potent the offense will be- come,” states Head coach Donovan of his freshman football team. Defense was not enough, however, as the young Bearcats finished the season with a 2-4-1 record. All of the losses were by eight points or less which translates into a touchdown and a two-point conversion. The highlight of the season for the team was the opening game. For the third consecutive year the freshmen ’Cats de- feated Trinity, this time in a 6-0 defensive struggle. After a scoreless tie with Walsh, the Bearcats throttled over archrival Ma- ple Heights by the score of 20-2. The ’Cats then met their toughest op- ponent. Brush. They totally stifled us, recalled Coach Donovan. The Arcs came away with a 8-0 victory. This sent the young Bearcats on a skid and they lost by that same score to Garfield Heights. The scoring drought ended against Parma but in the end the Bearcats lost a two-point heartbreaker, 8-6. The season ended on a losing note with a 7-2 loss to Mayfield. Coach Donovan cited Ron Culpepper, Steve Rega, Pete Kranz, Steve Parish, Todd Papes, and Tony Lopez as standout players. He also feels that the team will do excellent on the Junior varsity as long as they stick together.

Kevin Martin Freshman Football 65 Going the Distance The cross country team underwent a re- building season during 1981 which saw the Bearcat harriers finish with a record of 4 and 7, good for 7th place in the GCC. The runners held their meets on a 2Vz mile course which winds through Shawnee Golf Course in Walton Hills. Cross-country is one of the few inter- scholastic sports at Bedford in which freshmen are allowed to compete on the varsity level. There were seven freshmen who made the team this year, including three girls. Freshman Vern Rayner ex- plained that he joined the team, “Because I’ve been running for a few years and I thought I had a chance to make the team.” Coach Gordon Kimberly, in his 7th year as coach, commented, “Having the freshmen on our team was great. They contributed very much and they added a new dimension to our team.” Coach Kimberly added that during the course of the season all of their meets were tough. Mentor and Euclid proved to be Bedford’s toughest competition, with our harriers losing by scores of 50-15 and 49-15, respectively. Many of this years team members were freshmen so the base is there for future success. Coach Kimberly predicted good things for the future and said, “If the teams wants to improve the members will have to work hard.” Senior Brent Heishman was rated 14th in the GCC, and freshman Rod Hutter was rated the top freshman runner in the conference and 29th overall. In the off season team members partici- pate in Coach Kimberly’s “Polar Bear” program. The harriers set goals for them- selves to run 500, 750, or 1000 miles over the winter and prior to the start of spring track. The coach awards each achiever; for example the 1000 miler gets a new pair of running shoes for their ef- forts. Junior Bill Eckenrode commented, “I really like the program. It helps me stay in shape and 1 can get a little re- ward at the end.” Over the years, cross country has nev- er been one of the more popular sports here at Bedford. According to coach Kimberly, “If you’re looking for the big crowds, then cross country’ not for you. It’s not a glory sport, but it does take a special and dedicated individual to partici- pate.” 66 Cross Country l1� ' 5 ■ ' ■ . J ?

However only 10 girls could be selected for the varsity squad because that’s all the uniforms that were available. Since a volleyball team has 6 players on each side of the net, the varsity was not even able to scrimmage against itself properly. Coach Margaret Hollingsowrth stated that her goal for the team this season was, “To win more games than we lose; and to have a sense of good teamwork among all the girls.” These goals were not to be realized. The girls did not have a winning sea- son, although a high point was that they beat Brush in both matches; and the sub- ject of teamwork turned out to be a stick- ing point with both the players and coach Hollingsworth. Senior Celest Taylor commented, “Coach Hollingsworth didn’t know what to do when we went our separate ways. She should have worked on this problem alot harder. It seemed to some of us that she favored certain players on the team.” Taylor continued, “The main problem with the team was that only a few of us got along very well together and others seemed not to want to be a part of the team.” Coach Hollingsworth was asked if dur- ing the season she had ever thought of throwing in the towel. She answered, “Yes, right before we played Brush for the second time. It was mostly because the players wren’t rooting for their own team and the general attitude of the girls was ‘I don’t care’.” Senior Denise Milewski said, “I always tried even harder when it started to be- come difficult. I feel that you should nev- er give up. You should keep pushing until the game is over.” Senior Nicole Jackson expressed her goals for the team this way, “My goals were to be the Greater Cleveland Conference champions this sea- Varsity Volleyball 69 GET ROWDY Psyching up th«ir team members are co-captains Tracy Sprinkle and Carol Serrin. Thier efforts were rewarded in this game against Brush which was one of their only victories for the season GET 'EM. One of the highlights of the J.V. volleyball season for it's team members was the coaching of Mrs Papesh. Her positive attitude and supportive coaching helped to brighten an otherwise losing season for the squad Cream that Marshmallow “You’ve got to believe in yourself and your team. If you don’t believe it, it won’t happen,” commented J.V. volleyball coach Gayle Papesh. The girls did not have a winning season this year, but they didn’t give up. Junior Lois Lippitt expressed her sentiments about Coach Papesh. ‘‘Coach Papesh really did a fantastic job working with us. She had constant energy and more than once she used it to bring us up. She did everything she could do for us, whether it was cheering, sprawling, or pushing us. She was always there when we needed her.” sophomore Diane Kallos comment- ed, “The team became closer as the year went on. Coach Papesh added, “The toughest team we played this year was Solon. They were the most highly skilled team we encountered all season and brought out the best in us. It’s kind of ironic. Al- though Solon was the toughest match, it was, at the same time, one of the nicest because it showed us what we're capable of doing.” For the first time this year, the team had co-captains. Junior Carole Serrin and Sophomore Tracie Sprinkle acted as assis- tant coaches, in a sense, by helping the other team members with their approach on the ball, practicing basic skills, and co- ordinating team play. Carole Serrin was the leading scorer this year, with a total of 76 points. Junior Hollie Kozak followed with 45 points. In summing up the ’81 season. Coach Papesh remarked, “There aren’t any los- ers, only those people who quit too soon. Our record may not show it, but our team is made up only of winners. And I’m sure that we’ll make an even stronger showing next year.” 70 J.V. Volleyball HIGH FLYER. Diane Kallos goes up for a spike as her teammate.

That statement seemed to sum up the Bearcat varsity girls basketball season as the girls finished the 1981-1982 season with a 13-10 record. Head Coach Bob Fleming, in his fourth year as varsity coach commented, “Our success this year was really a team effort. The team was small, by most standards, but they did a good job.” Coach Fleming added that the main strength of the team this year was defense. “The toughest games for us this year were against Eastlake and Shaw. Both teams were undefeated and state ranked. We held them to their lowest scores of the sea- son. Of the eight regular players on this year's team, six were seniors. Even though the team is losing most of its ex- perienced players. Coach Fleming feels that “From the J.V. and freshman teams, we have a nucleus of players, depending on how much they prepare themselves over the summer, that could give us a good team next year.' Senior Kim Marques observed, “The season went really fast this year.’’ Anita White added, “This year the team seemed to be just like a little family. Ev- eryone worked their problems out in the open.’’ Marques commented, Anita was the core of the team. She is very knowledgable about the game and she really kept us going.” Senior Nicole Jackson was named to the Greater Cleveland Conference all-con- ference team along with floor general Anita White. Jackson remarked, 1 was very pleased to have recieved the honor but I think that I should have won the conference MVP award.” Varsity Gris Basketball Bottom row; Nicole Jackson. Anita White.

Girls Basketball “The girls learned a lot. I learned a lot too, from all of those close games,” was Head Coach Phil Hennen’s comment on the 1981-1982 girls’ Junior Varsity bas- ketball team. “It was a tight season and most of the games we played were really close, especially the double overtime game against Mentor.” Although the team finished the season with an impressive 10- 8 record, Coach Hennen felt the record would have been better if they had won more of the close games and “A few points could have swung the whole sea- son.” Freshman forward, Bindi Morozek felt that they relied on “Nothing in particular except team play.” Bindi also remarked that the team’s progress was hindered by sickness and injuries. Coach Hennen echoed her feelings, especially noting a broken finger to Sophomore guard Debi Elek, which sidelined the scrappy playmaker for five games. He also took note of Morozek who was stricken with a case of mononucleosis during the Chrismas holidays. The lady ’Cats were notorious for play- ing one great half and one poor half. This resulted in a number of close games. Hennen felt that the final game at Euclid, in which the Bearcats scored 18 points in the final quarter, was the most outstand- ing game of the season. The ’Cats won that game by a score of 34-27. Team leaders included Tracie Sprinkle with a 5.5 point per game average and a field goal percentage of 31%; Bindi Morozek averaging 15 assists; Terri Deems, 75% free throw shooting; and Diane Kallos with 42 steals on the season. Debi Elek was commended as the playmaker and clutch shooter. JUMP BALL Taking the ball away from Mayfield is Sophomore Tracie Sprinkle The game was another close victory for the J.V squad.

The 1981-1982 basketball season for the Bedford Bearcats took a turn for the better under their new coach, Ray Kennedy, former coach at Collinwood High School. After a season of several dif- ferent coaches and a record of 1-20, the Bearcats definetly took a step in the right direction. The Bearcats welcomed in the new sea- son with victories over Eastlake North and Maple Heights. Coach Kennedy felt that the highlight of the season was the over- time victory over Eastlake North. The varsity team definitely put out its best ef- fort of the season, and Coach Kennedy exclaimed, “Hopefully it’s me and the at- titude to win,” as the reason to the team’s opening successes. The strong points that helped the Bearcats toward improved success were, according to Derrick Flowers, the fact that, “Everybody worked hard at improv- ing their team play. “People didn’t con- centrate on their individual abilities. “For them, the team came first.” Coach Ken- nedy added, “The Cheerleaders really pepped up the crowd and got the team going.” Junior center Bobby Thompson remarked, “Having a steady coach and a new system to follow has improved our team play.” The weak points for the Bearcats seemed to balance out with the strong points this season. “It is always something wrong with our togetherness,” said Senior guard Rick Odom. “If the little men play well the big men play bad, and if the big men play well, the little men play bad.” Thompson added, “Our inability to shoot at least 50% also hurt us.” Even though the basketball season was not the greatest for the ’Cats, it was a big improvement from last season.

It seemed as though the J.V. team didn’t get it all together this year, as their 4-16 record proved. “If we could have improved our team play instead of concentrating on our indi- vidual efforts, we could have had a better season,” remarked Darryl Oliver. Fred Lard added, “A little more practice time would have helped also.” According to Coach Heard, “One thing that hurt was not having a summer program to help im- prove their skills. You just can’t come in and play. In contrast of the J.V. team, the fresh- man basketball team finished the 81-82 season with a perfect 16-0 record. Freshman Chris Garris, a forward, pre- dicted, “We will be in the top twenty in about three years.” Under the tutelage of Coach Bill Sigmund, the freshman team put together a season that was remark- able compared to the J.V. and varsity teams. “We’ll be even better in the fu- ture,” foretold guard Rich Sygula. Renard Rieves added, “Our season was the best ever because we were undefeated.” The 1981-82 season explained with dis- tinct detail that BHS will have a much stronger and better basketball program in the future.

Freshman Boys Basketball 79 “Swimming on the High School’s swim team was very different than swimming on the YWCA’s team,’’ remarked Debi Kaneen. “It was like we were a whole family rather than swimming individually.” The girl Bearcats put forth a total team effort to produce a ’81 ’82 season record of 6-3. According to swim coach Chris Puza, “The girls swim team has gained many freshmen this year, which helped contrib- ute to the depth of the team. Most of the girls did have experience swimming but had to learn a lot about the competitive nature of the sport.” The success and vitality of the girls swim team is evident in their record, but some of the girls think other things have contributed to their success besides the hard work and constant practicing. “Ev- ery year there is the ‘wheels relay’ in which the coaching staff awards steak din- ners to the best relay team of three,” ex- plained junior Beth Andrus. This spices up the long hard workouts and provide a change from regular practice. It was hard but also fun at the same time,” concluded Andrus. Since both the boys and girls swim teams need to use the pool for practice, it was necessary for the girls team to practice twice a week in the early morn- ing before school began. “The morning practices were hard because you would be tired for the rest of the day,” declared sophomore Melissa Patch. “The divers did as good or a little bet- ter than their record,” remarked diving coach Scott Andrus. The girls diving team consisted this year of only three girls. Girls Swimming. Bottom row; Deb Kaneen. Jill Whims. Carol Medici. Lau- ra Rupert. Monique Tilden, Ann Zippay Second Row; Wendy Geer.

The boys swim team improved a great deal this year finishing in a tie with Brush for sec- ond place in the Greater Cleveland Con- ference. Junior Dale McRitchie explained, ‘‘The addition of some excellent new recruits added to our depth of swimmers with ex- perience. It was a big factor in our suc- cessful season. The swimmers with a record of 6 wins and 4 losses were able to compile a record better than the teams of the past few seasons. The Bearcats’ improved record also did a lot for their team spirit. Mike Madden commented, “Swim meets were the best thing about being on the swim team, because you’ve looked forward to showing off your skills after a lot of practising the week before.” Brush was my most memorable meet because their swimmers had the same potential as we did. The cheering for our teammates was unreal. ' added Steve Smalley. Also contributing greatly to the success of the boys swim team was the diving coach, Scott Andrus. Andrus, a graduate of BHS and a former diver, is in his sec- ond year of coaching Bedford’s diving team. Scott was a great coach. He al- ways got on my back and worked me to the maximum of my ability, said diver Paul Kerwin. “My coaching from Scott was teriffic because he got on me and pushed me,” concluded Kerwin. 1981-82 Boys Swimming BHS OPP 109 Westlake 58 63 Shaker Hts. 109 102 Solon 68 129 North Olmsted 29 100 Mid park 72 32 Berea 51 127 Mayfield 45 81 Euclid 89 124 Maple Hts. 46 3rd.

District Meet WON 7 LOST 3 Boys Swimming 83 Pinning Down Success “Wrestling is probably the toughest sport in high school,” stated varsity wres- tler Jim Kirchner. And its easy to see why. It is an individual effort which makes the sport twice as tough. “You do it all by yourself,” said Mike Richuisa who wrestles at 155 lbs. But some wrestlers feel the program here at the high school could be tougher. When asked what could be done next year to improve this season's record of 5- 7, Kirchner said, “We need harder workouts and more conditioning, like weightlifting. As in the other sports pro- grams here, money for new equipment is also needed. Many of the uniforms are worn out and some of the mats are ripped. As one wrestle put it, “Our mats are shot!” Though not the most celebrated sport, wrestling is one of the most challenging. Unifortunately, attendance at the matches has fallen off this season and the wres- tlers are feeling it. “We don’t get enough support from the student body,” claimed Kirchner. Richuisa agreed, “The team needs more public support.” This season may not have been a win- ning one, but it did have its bright points. Wrestling at 138 lbs., Jim Kirchner placed third in the Padua and Elyria Tournaments. Third year varsity wrestler Chip Moore, who took first at Elyria and second at the Avon Lake Tournament at 167 lbs., was named to the GCC All-Con- ference Team. Undefeated at 119 lbs., senior Pat Maloney was also named to the GCC All-Conference Team. Pat’s record at 119 was 5 0-1. Watching his weight for the past five months, Kirchner ended, “I can’t wait to eat again.” 1981-82 VARSITY WRESTLING BHS OPP 44 Chagrin Falls 18 6th Padua Tourn. 4220 Shaw-Solon 12 42 6th Avon Lake Invt. 12 Eastlake 43 42 Garrettsville 23 4th Elyria Tourn 18 Maple Heights 44 25 Mentor 33 6 Mayfield 54 28 Brush 35 32 Willoughby 19 23 Euclid 42 26 Warrensville 23 WON 5 LOST 7 TIED 0 Varsity Wrestling.

Wrestling “It’s difficult to win when you have four to six guys on a thirteen slot team,” griped Junior Varsity wrestling Coach Lars Schvartz. The small turnout caused many forfiets which was a major factor in the 3-7 won-loss record. Coach Schvartz admitted that he was ”not pleased with the losing season.” “The team that we did have showed improvement, ’ commented Schvartz. Sophomore Chuck Barna and Junior Sandford Barbee were sighted for com- mendable performances on the junior var- sity level. Schvartz added that “our pri- mary goal with this year’s team was to prepare them for varsity wrestling.” The frosh matmen, on the other hand, were “tough and one of the best groups I’ve seen coming up,” according to Varsi- ty wrestling coach Larry Jones. The young grapplers battled to an admirable 7-2 record. Ron Culpepper (145) was “suprised, because there were alot of first-year wres- tlers on the squad.” Ron, who led the team in takedowns, wrestled to a spark- ling 9-1 record with two pins. He felt that, “my opponent at Richmond was the toughest.” (his only loss), but the team’s toughest opponent was Maple. The team had three tournament win- ners in Culpepper. Greg Kennedy (155), and Mark Palik (110). Greg, like Ron, had only one loss to his record. Tim Batten (120), Tony Lopez (132) and Tyler Allen (167) all recorded pins during the course of the season and Jim Lynch (100) wres- tled a bit on the varsity level.

These names range from Abbadini to Zwick and some are easy to pronounce and spell Name Game at B.H.S.: 15 Millers and 13 Smiths But only one Oldakowski. while others are veritable tongue twisters. What’s in a name? Some names consist of many different ideas and origins. Your first name happens to be your first gift at the time you were born and holds a spe- cial touch because it was “given” to you, unlike your surname, or your last name, where there was no choice. The surnames of the students at BHS are much like the surnames of their an- cestors. They were handed down from one generation to another. These names evolved from such things as occupations, trades, places, son’s of men, color and physical appearances. For instance, our most popular names here at BHS, the 15 Millers and 13 Smiths, happened to originate from such occupations as a man who worked at a mill and a man who was a blacksmith. The 12 Jacksons and 11 Johnsons origi- nated from the son’s of men by the name of Jack and John. However, there still remain names whose origins are a mystery. These are the unusual names like Battaglia, Czerny, Natali, Deffibaugh, Esogbue, Jezerinac, Zaharewicz and Zsednay. Not only are the origins of these names unknown, but their pronounciation is also a test of your skills. But your name is your name no matter how common and simple or how unusual and baffling it may be; it’s your trade- mark. and that is the name of the game. NERVOUS JITTERS Junior.

It was a totally new atmo- sphere to me and I was really scared be- ing around so many new and different people.' This was the response of Leatrice Young and many other freshmen as they answered the question, “What was your first day of school like? ’ Most of the freshmen interviewed also agreed that they had been harassed in one way or another by the upperclass- men. During the first few weeks of school many freshmen were given wrong direc- tions and sent to the opposite wing of the building. “Most of all I disliked being pushed around and jostled in the hallways by all of the older kids. The halls were so crowded! The upperclassmen just don’t seem to understand that we want to be treated as equals. commented Mike Monn. When asked to compare Heskett Junior High with the high school many students agreed that the teachers here were stricter and expected more of them. Karima Jenkins summed it up by saying, “We have to work harder at the high school because we have a greater respon- sibility as freshmen to try to achieve the goals we set.'

It wasn’t hard for the students at B.H.S. to come up with an in- teresting array of answers to that ques- tion. The majority of students agreed with the idea that love is something you grow into rather than something you fall into. Junior, Veronica Coleman commented, 4,I knew I was in love the old fashioned way; goose bumps.” She also stated what love means to her, ‘‘I feel that love between two people is sharing, caring, and strong feelings for each other. Joy and sadness are both a big part of it, and sometimes so is pain.” ‘‘Love is when you are happy, content, and feel at ease with that certain some- one.” replied junior Alison Spoto. She also felt that being open and honest helps to keep a relationship going strong. When asked who should take the initia- tive in a relationship freshman Kelly Garrat commented, I think it should be a fifty-fifty relationship. You can’t have one dominate figure, or it just won’t work out.” Lisa Kandrach, when asked whether or not fifteen and sixteen year olds could ex- perience love, thought that they could as long as they were mature enough to han- dle the problems. What ever the answers, the question remains an interesting one to students today. STOLEN KISS. Arc they in love or is it Just infatu- ation?

They enjoy a Tuesday night out on skates Here they are strolling along to their favorite rock-n-roll tunes. • • • • Friday nights really rolled along at Southgate Skates in Maple Heights. About one hundred teenagers from Bedford and Maple High Schools came to skate and jam to the music. Music from the Beach Boys, Donna Summer, and AD DC was heard through the speakers. The variety of music was one of the main attractions for Bedford and Maple Skaters. The group was no ordinary crowd of teenagers; it was a fast moving, twisting, turning skating session. Many tricks were involved; from the splits, and somersaults to the flea hop. As the clock rolled on, the crowd moved faster than ever. During a tough, competitve contest, the skaters were watched closely on their pre- sentation of their skills and techniques. Tony, the disc jockey, was the judge. Narrowing it down to two people, the winner was chosen. Usually a gift certifi- cate to Peaches was the prize. Southgate Skates was open every night of the week from 7-10. Tuesday, howev- er, was the most popular skating night. Admission, with skates, was only $1.90 and the featured music was rock-n-roll. Norwalk 95 Tough on Tardies A major problem at Bedford High School this past year has been tardiness to school and classes. The usual “punish- ment” in the past has been three days of suspension from school for chronic cases, which in many ways didn’t make sense. Why miss more school when you’re prob- lem is not being here for enough school time? So, a new plan was devised and Saturday School came into being. The idea itself was adopted from pro- grams at several other local schools and revised to meet our own special needs by Mrs. Ferrone who shares responsibility for supervising the Saturday sessions with Mr Perez, Mr. McNellie, and Mr. Blackburn. The three hour sessions, which run from 8:30 to 11:30 am, are devoted to some type of constructive school work. Reading, writing, studying, and any type of home- work in general is acceptable while sleep- ing. talking, or walking around are definately not allowed! One more slight catch is that, of course, you must be on time. If you are even two minutes late for Saturday School you aren’t allowed in and come Monday morning you are as- signed the customary three days of sus- pension. When asked about the effectiveness of this new program Mr. Perez commented, “We can tell that the program is working because very few students are returning for a second time. It’s tough to give up a Saturday morning so most students are trying to stay out of trouble. The average class size for these early morning sessions was thirty students. When asked whether or not they felt that this was harsh or unjust punishment the assistant principals felt that it was a well designed alternative to suspension and the possible loss of credit for those students who are already close to the thirteen day limit. It is also intended to help teach stu- dents more responsibility around promptness. Students who have exper- ienced these Saturday sessions responded by saying, “Instead of being suspended from all of your classes because of being tardy to one, you are given a chance to make it up at these three hour sessions held on Saturday. So even though I didn’t like getting up so early on Saturday, I think it’s a fair punishment.’ Melevta Oatman Denis Oleksiak Brandon O'Hara Colleen Oneill Dan Oneilea Joe Oritl Lisa Orlowski Lisa Otto David Pachinowiski Tamara Pallat Mark Palik Bob Paluscsak Todd Papes Tracie Parker Robert Parr Steve Parish Timothy Paserk Older Patton Cathy Payne Rodney Pearson Tina Peters Erick Peterson Fred Peterson Mary Petras Tracy Phillips Laura Pittis Varcharlus Pittis Glenn Pleta Robert Pliske Jon Poli Susan Pontious Carole Powers 96 Oatman Mark Powell Cheryl Prosen Tom Ralston Elaine Ramsey Tina Ranallo Vem Rayner Matt Rediger Kim Reed Steve Rega Kevin Ressler Renard Rieves Renita Rieves Roberts Rigglemen Donna Riley Joarfett Rivers Steve Roberts Tamara Robinson Sandra Rodriguez Tonya Rogers Richard Rohaley NillyAnn Rollins Thomas Romanowski Andrew Rozhan Laura Rupert Deborah Russell Todd Sadler Ruth Sagula Kamal Sahota Julanda Salvador Mike Sandor Robert Saraniti Curtis Scales Scales 97 Christopher Schaffer Roxanne Schultheis Brian Schrieber Rich Schroeter Tim Schulte Janice Scott Sandy Sechler Kris Senderak Linda Shamon Aurdeop Shaota Linda Shifflette Kirk Shellko Ken Shirey Frank Shuster Mark Simoni Mike Sims Angela Suemore Ken Skock Iveta Slosar Karla Smiley Berry Smith Becky Smith Kristi Smith Larry Smith Raymond Snow Kathy Soltesz Donna Somera Nirmal Sooch Adam Sparks Greg Spayde Angela Spikes Jason Spinos Fashions or Fads? Contrary to popular belief, Bedford High School is sometimes a very fashion- able place. Students today tend to care more about how they look and G.Q. mag- azine has become a fashion bible. The jeans have become classier, with names like Jordache, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Cal- vin Klein on the back pockets. Jeans, however, aren’t the only change in today’s fashion scene. Besides prices, other things seem to be going up; pants are getting shorter and becoming knee high knickers, skirts are turning into minis, and blazers are cut off at the waistline. Comfort and usefulness are two of the criteria used by many students when con- sidering a new clothes purchase. “1 like to go with the flow of fashion and also be comfortable, so the outfits I buy are usu- ally bow ties and dress pants to match. said LaShawn Boyd. This is also a practi- cal wardrobe that can serve for evening wear as well. But not all B.H.S. students are interest- ed in following the fashion trends. A T- shirt from a favorite concert and a faded pair of Levi’s are common sights too! “This is the most comfortable outfit for me and the first thing I grab in the morn- ing.” exclaimed Trace Bender.

SECOND BEST M105 is one of the top ten radio stations in Cleveland, but at B.H.S. it came in sec ond. after WMMS Bumper stickers are not only for cars, but for stop signs, too! You may recognize this one from the student parking lot. CLEVELAND ROCKS. Cleveland is known as the Rock-N-Roll capital of the world B.H.S. students agreed when they voted WMMS. 101. their favorite listening station. This supergraphic, on a building across from Cleveland State University, attests to 101 's popularity among students everywhere. When students here were polled during homeroom, with a questionnaire, the re- sults supported the fact that this is defi- nitely the Rock and Roll capital of the world. Students were asked to select their favorite type of music, their favorite radio station, and, of course, their favorite disc jockey. The winner of course was good old Rock and Roll. The most popular sta- tion was WMMS, 101 on your FM dial, and the two most popular disc jockeys were Jeff and Flash of WMMS. Students who listen to the number one station gave many positive reasons for their support. “The music is great and al- ways nonstop, Jeff and Flash are the best. They always make jokes that bright- en my day.’ commented Eileen Curley. “It’s true, they are the best,” said Lynne Sukavich when she found out who won the poll. “I’ve listened to 101 and Jeff and Flash for a long time now and they are really great.’’ continued Lynne. Although WMMS won the poll, there are many other types of music being en- joyed by the student body. Interest was expressed in Jazz. Soul, Country, and Rhythm and Blues, too. But Rock-N-Roll and 101 rule. v William Eden Wanda Ed ley Dawn Eidam Dave Ersek Paul Erwin Rhonda Culbert Pat Cunningham Art Curtis Anne Czerny Richard Czerwinski Bill Dancy Beth Daunch Laurie Davis Paul Davis David Dean Theresa Deems Linda Deffibaugh Andrine Dell Ken Dellaro Jodee Delphia Georgette Denson Larry De Pompei Tom Dewhirst Anita Dinova Lisa Donelly Jerry Dotson Mary Dowling James Duber Dan Ebel Erwin 101 What is it like to be a twin? Well, only one ... no, actually two people could an- swer this question. The twins, of course. Here at Bedford High School we have eight sets of twins, each with their own view on the subject. There are many ad- vantages to being a twin. “Being a twin is great because your best friend is always there,” stated Ron Ladina. “Its fun be- cause I can get myself out of alot of trou- ble by saying I'm Kris,” Kevin Nietert commented, “I feel like I'm two people.” From time to time twins have been known to play the game of “mistaken identity”. “I never was certain whether it was Kris or Kevin,” said Miss Koki, “but I had my suspicions!” She thought the be- havior, mostly silly, just did not fit the Nietert who was supposed to be in her British Literature class. Ron Ladina also had to endure the third degree and evil looks from Mrs. Israel one day when she saw him coming out of lunch ninth period. Why? Because his twin, Rick, had not been in 7-8 period English class. “I was really embarrassed,” said Mrs. Israel, “be- cause I didn’t realize Rick had a twin!” Being a twin is not all fun though. Sib- ling rivalry can occur even more frequent- ly between twins than between children who are years apart. “We’ve always com- peted against each other, in sports, school, and personality wise,” stated Ron Ladina. One can clearly see being a twin has its ups and downs. Sometimes it is an asset to be mistaken for a brother or sis- ter and other times it is not. “My grand- parents still can’t tell us apart,” remarked Ron. DOUBLE VISION Most twins, especially identical ones, are hard to tell apart. Rick and Ron Ladina are one of several sets of twins currently enrolled at Bedford High School.

Everything went from old football helmets to the seats in the auditorium. “No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers dirty looks.” No one will be able to say this catchy rhyme anymore as they walk out of Moody Junior High School. Mrs. Connie Dickson (mother of Junior, Beth Dickson) from the Class of 1941, was very sad that the school was being closed. She said, “My first reaction was that 1 was very mad, because of all the good times and beautiful memories I had.” On Saturday, October 3, in the Moody Junior High cafeteria, the Bedford Board of Education held a public auction. They auctioned off everything from student desks, pianos, and cafeteria equiptment to drafting and work tables, office machines, and furniture. The purpose of the auction was to gain a substanial amount of money to put back into the school system. The total amount netted was $23,636, of which about $3,000 went to Frank Rizzo, the auctioneer, and to cover other miscel- laneous expenses. Looking for a bargain was Junior, Lynn Horne. “I’m looking for a good buy on a drafting table, she said. Buyers and items were well matched. Sandhu 105 Something new and different this year at B.H.S. is the Pride Committee whose purpose is to “connect” the four classes toward one goal; promoting school spirit. As Assistant Principal, Mrs. Ferrone su- pervises the activities of Bedford High Schools' clubs and organizations and is the adviser of Pride Committee. At the beginning of the year, several representatives from Pride Committee at- tended a spirit clinic held at Euclid High School by Josten’s, the company that sells class rings and graduation announcements. “We learned many things about promot- ing spirit and also found many new ideas for spirit activities,” stated chairperson Holly Daws. In conjunction with Pride Committee and the class officers, Mrs. Ferrone start- ed a spirit contest in which the individual classes competed against each other in different activities. Points were awarded to the class that had the most partici- pants. Some of the activities held were: a Halloween dress-up-day, Thanksgiving and Christmas canned food drives, and a class “weigh-in . “To see how much your class weighs all together is something new and unusual, and something everyone can par- ticipate in,” said Mrs. Ferrone.

Trace is a member of a Sea World water skiing troupe, which performs from two to six shows per day, depending on park atten- dance. Trace began skiing at age eight. By the time he was ten, he was slalom skiing, and by age thirteen, barefoot skiing. Ac- cording to Trace, “My father loves skiing, and it was only natural for me to begin. Today, my whole family skiis.” A friend who works at Sea World got Trace an interview with Ski Director Tom Weber. From there, he proceeded to try out, and then made the team. He skiied at Sea World from June through Septem- ber of 1981. He did the entire show which included jumping, trick skiing, sla- lom, and barefooting. Future plans include attending a South- ern college on a skiing scholarship. Trace added, “I wanted to ski in competition this year, but there are no facilities in Ohio to train for tournaments.” Performing at Sea World has proved rewarding for Trace, “It’s exciting to see the young children’s enthusiasm while I ski, and also when I talk with them after the show,” he concluded. 108 Juniors FAMILY FEUD. Sea World, one of this areas sum mer attractions, has a fun-filled comedy skit based on the popular feuding families, the Hatfields and McCoys. Junior, Trace Bender, is a part of the ex- citement as a skiing member of this act.

Often, a car can tell something about the owner; either by the type of car it is or by the way the student has “personalized the car. Some students simply add a radio, while others go for mag wheels, side stripes, and interior treatments. Senior Joe Michalek’s car tells some- thing different about him. He bought his Ford Model T as an investment and not to drive it. “I don’t even have the engine in it and it doesn’t have any tires. But there are only ten engines like mine left in existence, so who’d want to drive it anyway?,’’ he said. Other students just need a car to get around, “There’s nothing fancy about my car,” says Senior Jackie Chick, “I just needed a car to get to school and back, and I got a good deal on my Vega.” Although the FBI does not usually use someone’s car as a means of identifica- tion, more may be realized about a per- son than they realize by their auto-graph. NO FRILLS Some students spend a lot of time and money spicing-up their cars, while others just need transportation back and forth from school.

Although prices are higher, more stu- dents purchased class rings this year than ever before. Lamont Robinson felt that his ring was expensive but, “The value will increase over the years.” There are many other ways to “jack up” the price of a class ring besides the cost of precious metals. It is possible, for a slight extra charge, to have your birthstone set in the ring, your name set in script lettering, or your favorite activity sign cast into the ring. Average prices for class rings this year ranged from one hundred twenty dollars to one hundred fifty for gold, and from sixty to one hundred ten dollars for silver. The Herff Jones Company has supplied class rings for Bedford High School for the past six years. Their representative, Mr. James, feels as though the success of class ring sales has a lot to do with “School spirit and class unity.” When asked why she bought her class ring, Annette Drowlette replied, “I bought my ring because I wanted something to remind me of my school days.” SENIOR PLANS. Mr Fudge, senior class adviser, helps Holly Daws select her graduation announce- ments. Herff Jones Company offers Bedford stu- dents a wide selection of styles to choose from and have supplied B.H.S. with their announcements for the past seven years. CLASSIC STYLING. Interest in class rings varies from year to year along with the price of gold and silver. Even though the price of these precious met- als is up this year, more students than before bought rings. | I Eric Knipple Karen Koehnle James Koharic Rob Kole Greg Kolenich Audrey Kostyo Kathy Kotesovec Heidi Kotva Jackie Koval Chris Kovalik Bill Kozak Lisa Kropf Lisa Krusina Jill Kurcharski Anna Kuissis Laurel Kunsch Kelly Kus Bonnie Lamberg Jeanna Lancaster Paul Lanza Mike Lappin Pat Lau Laura Lavcencik Bob Leanza Tim Lee Diana Lewis Kevin Lewis Lesa Lewis Brian Licht Pat Liggett Naomi Liggott John Lindgren 112 Knipple Brian Lingenfield Theresa Liscoe Lois Lippitt Stanley Litchenstine Gary Lucas Jason Lunder Debbie Lupica Jeff Lutz Rosalind Lyons Spike Lyons Mark Madden Chris Maji Dan Manard Lisa Marshall Jodi Martin Annie Masad William Mastic Judy Matasky Madelaine Matriano Dan Maykh June Mazur Robert McCleland Steve McDonald Carla McIntyre Marsherry McMichael Dale McRitchie Tracy McWilliams Tom Medki Judy Meredith Ruth Mkhalek Lori Mika Neil Milam Ken Miller Ted Minute Ten Mizak Peggy Moldvay Scott Monohan Bill Moran Katie Morean Patty Morelli Joel Morozek Mike Morrison Rhonda Morris Carol Moss Elizabeth Muncy Criag Murray Magdalen Nagy James Natali Brian Naveratil Laura Nemeth Shawn Nichols Narlep Nijar Rajveer Nijar Tracey Niland Lisa Notarian Michelle Nowden Tony O’Dell Jackline Oko Wanda Oldakowski Brent Pace Ketty Padilla Frank Palmeri Lynne Pansky Tami Papish Nancy Parish Tina Pavella Dorsey Payne Scott Pearson Pearson 113 David Pederi Kim Peterson John Petras Nancy Piccoiomini MaryLou Pike Bit!

Varsity football veteran. Kevin Nietert. one of several coaches for the Senior Pow- der Puff team, advises Angela Palladino on her next play. Professional coaching may have made the dif- ference for the victorious senior squad. The third annual Powder Puff football game, played on October 6th, was the continuance of a Bedford High School tra- dition. Both teams came into this year’s game with one win each, but the seniors were hungry for a victory. The seniors took charge early in the game, scoring on a forty-eight yard run by Karen Lazanich. Quarterback Jackie Curran connected with Marie Mackris for the extra point. The juniors were punished further when the seniors scored again, later in the game, and it ended with a 13-0 senior victory. Junior Beth Andrus commented, “We weren’t really prepared for the game, and we didn’t expect to get hit as hard as we did.” The Varsity football players who coached the game may have been the key to the senior victory. Tom Jonozzo, Jeff Brown, Kris Nietert, Kevin Nietert, and Paul Fredericks gave their time and expertise to lead the senior squad. The junior coaches, although they were experienced football palyers, were not “Powder Puff’’ veterans. But coaches Joel Morozek, Shane Hruby, Mike Valenti, John Geiger, Brian Heisler, and Rob McClelland did their best. Uhler 115 Fantasy's the Key How do Bedford students spend their spare time? For some the best way to re- lax is to crawl through dark, damp, tun- nels searching for treasure, rescuing fair maidens, and slaying enormous, fire- breathing dragons! The game is called Dungeons and Dragons. There are no winners, losers or gameboards and the game never ends. “What you do is, create a character by rolling special dice. This character has dif- ferent abilities and weaknesses, and can be anything from a dwarf, to a wizard, to a human,’ explains Senior Greg Tufts. “You play this character and he gains ex- perience and treasure as he goes along, and you just keep playing him as long as he lives.’ One player controls the game, and they’re called the Dungeon Master (DM). As a player goes through a dungeon, the DM tells the player what he encounters, and supervises the battles as they occur. The only limits of the game are the limits of the DM’s mind. “Being a DM can be fun. but it’s a lot of hard work,’’ says Ju- nior Ben Jarvis. “You have to make up the dungeon, the monsters and treasures in it before the players can go through it. Sometimes making up a good dungeon can take several days.’’ Senior Paul Ikeda adds “Being DM is tough because you can't advance everyone too quickly or they’ll get bored; and at the same time you can’t kill them all off real quick or they’ll get mad. You have to find the right balance.” Dungeons And Dragons began gain- ing popularity several years ago, mainly on college campuses. Now many people of all ages are taking to the dungeons, and popularity has grown to the point that National D D Conventions are held several times each year. For some people D D is a full-time hobby; while for oth- ers it’s just a part time preoccupation. Perhaps the popularity of D D can best be explained by Senior Tom Kramer, who states, D D is the most realistic way of escaping reality that I know!” BLASTING OFF It’s off into outer space as a typi- cal computer junkie battles imaginary opponents to the death, at one of the local game emporiums Game Time, «it Randall Park Mall, is one of two game rooms located there.

Can Mean Game Quotient Many styles, fads, and fashions have swept the country, but when it comes to our favorite pastime, parlor games are out. The newest craze is video and com- puter games! Ask anyone at Game Time, a popular hang-out for computer junkies”, located in Southgate Shopping Center. Retailers find that having any one of these computer games in their store boosts business. Approximately one-fourth of the stu- dents at B.H.S. were polled as to their own game preferences. The question was, ‘‘What’s your favorite computer video game?” They chose their favorites from the following list: Pac Man. Asteroids, Missle Command, and Space Invad- ers. Pac Man won by a blinking light while Space Invaders trailed by a tail. A recent Newsweek Magazine article named the most popular video games na- tionwide. Space Invaders was the all time champ while Pac Man was referred to as a dazzling chase” that leads the pack. Other games on the top ten chart included Missle Command. Asteroids, Battlezone, and Berzerk. Surprisingly, there’s a new game called Centipede, which is closing in on Pac Man. It’s not surprising that these games are now seen everywhere. Hotels, restaurants, and even airports have these games. Por- table models are being sold as quickly as they arrive in stock. An even bigger video market is in the home. Home units, with improved technology, have become more attractive than ever before. Just hook them up to your T.V. and go. So the video market is booming; Game Time is a favorite hang-out for computer fanatics. Maybe in time the wonder of all this and the sound effects will fade away, or maybe computers and video games will take over our lives. KILLING TIME Dungeon Master.

The necessary qualifi- cations each nominee possessed in- cluded the four basic qualifications that began the Senior Hall of Fame in 1958, along with a few new addi tions. Those qualifications were; character, leadership, contributions to the class, and scholastic ability, along with the new additions of per- sonality, dedication, talent, and hard work. The 1982 candidates applied for nomination by completing the necessary application forms in order to be considered by the judges, Mr Fudge and Mrs. Holloway. Hall of 118 Seniors Each applicant had to have five recognized activities that were to be confirmed by the signature of the activity’s adviser. If there was a senior without the five necessary ac- tivities, a teacher could nominate that student for special recognition. After the senior class co-advisors, Mr. Fudge and Mrs. Holloway, de- cided on the validity of the candi- dates. they were voted upon by the members of the senior class who were registered voters. Of the fifty- eight seniors who applied, there were twenty Hall of Fame winners, including eight semi-finalists and twelve finalists for the 1982 year.

They came up with several ideas but decided that a trip would be a great way to share one. last good time together. This idea led to the organization of P.O.S.T. (Planning of Senior Trip) and it was decided that the senior class, if inter- ested, would take a trip to Orlando, Flor- ida over spring break. The seniors that were interested in participating would travel by Greyhound bus lines on a tour that included Six Flags over Georgia, Dis- ney World, Busch Gardens, Sea World and Daytona Beach, Florida. The cost per person was $215.00 which included the cost of the hotel room, the bus and the chaperones needed to accompany the seniors. During the beginning of the year, P.O.S.T. held several planning sessions at different members homes and promoted several fund raising activities. Kris Collins, the main motivater for the group, was aided in planning and carrying through ac- tivities. such as carwashes, skating parties and candy sales, by other members of the P.O.S.T. organization.

The reason why students from many surrounding communities come here for testing is that “Bedford is a central loca- tion and it is a good center,” said coun- selor Paul Kostansek. Many college-bound juniors and seniors took advantage of the College Testing Skills Workshops held by the Guidance Department. Beginning last September 30th and running for five weeks, faculty members from various departments re- viewed subject matter with the goals of improving test scores, improving skill in analyzing and answering questions, im- proving speed and skill in reading com- prehension, and gaining familiarity with different types of college tests. Senior Kim Marques felt that the sessions Helped me a great deal, especially the English.” The time of the sessions caused con- flicts for students involved in other activi- ties. Next year, efforts will be made to schedule the workshops during the day. or as one student suggested, in the evening, to promote better attendance and better meet the student’s needs.

Now, even the stu- dents of Bedford High School are begin- ning to feel the effects. President Reagan’s economic policies, known as “Reaganomics,” will strike at the student pursuing higher education. Due to cuts in financial aid, the Depart- ment of Education has devised two new tests for determining eligibility. Families earning more than $30,000 per year will be able to borrow no more than $2,500 on a government loan unless they demon- strate financial need under one of the tests. Students who have trouble making it through lunch are also being affected by the Reagan cuts. This year, lunch prices went up from 85c to $1.10, and milk prices shot up from 12c to 20c. The reason is that the government has cut subsidies for school lunch programs, which formerly kept student prices low. Last year’s 85c lunch the school 16V6c for ev- ery lunch sold. This year, a lunch at $1.10 brings only 10V£c back to the school. Often times we tend to think of politics as something that really doesn’t affect us as high school students. But President Reagan’s new economic policies and bud- get cuts can affect our school lunches, our plans for college, and our way of life in the future. PRICE HIKES. Senior, Carl Bartko is just one of the many students at BHS affected by price hikes in the cafeteria, due to cuts by the Reagon Administration Students have been affected at all levels, from high- er food prices to higher college education costs.

Simple, except for the fact that the players had to be sitting on the back of the donkey in order to score. The only thing a player could do from the floor was to take care of their donkey if nature called. A common problem faced by all the players was how to get back onto the ani- mal once you were thrown. Senior Paul Fredericks exclaimed, “It was an exper- ience! The donkey flipped me off and I did a 360° turn, but I made it back on!” Naturally, the donkeys were trained not to cooperate, and for the most part, did just the opposite of the rider’s inten- tions. They did their share of bucking, bit- ing, and kicking, making it an entertaining event. Gladys Nalls, attending her first donkey basketball game said, “It was the funniest basketball game that I ever saw!” Despite all of these difficulties, the foot- ball team emerged victorious by beating the faculty in overtime, 24-22. Some controversy surrounded this year’s game since it had been scheduled on the second night of the fall Thearts production of “Go Ask Alice.” But even with a divided crowd, the Bedford PTA and the Bedford Booster Club, sponsors of the event, were pleased with the atten- dance.

One hun- dred and one colleges were represented, including the armed services, as well as technical and vocational schools. According to Mr. Robert Fleming, guid- ance counselor, the main purpose of the fair was “to provide the opportunity for parents and students to talk with as many college representatives as possible, at one time, and make it easier to select a school.” Although no exact figures are available, Mr. Fleming estimated the turn- out to be about eight or nine hundred stu- dents. They came not only from Bedford, but from Maple Heights, Chanel, and Lumen Cordium High Schools. “It was a service to all the school communities,” stated Mr. Fleming. I found out information about colleges that I didn’, think I could find,” said Ju- nior Tracy McWilliams. Each school set up a table and most offered pamphlets as well as other information while representa- tives answered questions. “It helped me narrow down the number of colleges that I am considering,” stated junior, Karl Smith. The fair gave seniors a last look at pos- sible post-high school education while it in- troduced juniors and underclassmen to the many opportunities available.

Senior Ed Kasicki saw a pile of rust- ed parts and thought they had some possiblities. It took four years and a lot of hard work to transform that pile of scrap metal into a prize winning vehicle. Ed had quite a few major repairs to make. He said, “I had no rear fenders or bed, so 1 made the fenders out of fiberglass and the bed out of wood.” The ragged 6 cylinder just wasn’t fin- ished yet. Ed found a 350 small block and started to rebuild it. When the motor was finished he welded in motor mounts and dropped in a V-8. By this time the old Chevy was beginning to take shape. To personalize it he added his own spe- cial touches; a Jensen AM FM cassette stereo, reupholstered seats, and a “moon dust red” paint job. Ed’s truck was on display at the 1982 Auto-Rama.

The program was sponsored by Community Intervention out of Minnesota, and was directed by Mr. Crowley. On returning to the high school, coun- selor Mary Lou Kosar and assistant princi- pal Mr. Francis McNellie began what be- came known as tbe CORE Program for students with a chemical use or abuse problem and students affected by loved ones who are chemically dependent. The CORE program stresses the fact that any chemical dependency, such as CORE. GROUP Guidance counselor and chief mo- tivator, Mary Lou Kosar. chairs a group meeting of the faculty members and administrators involved with Bedford's chemical abuse program. alchoholism, is a disease. And being a dis- ease, alchoholics are not terrible people, they are merely suffering from the dis- ease. One aspect of the CORE program. Aftercare, helps the student who comes back from treatment, maintain sobriety. Concerned Persons” was designed as a support group for those students who are concerned about the chemical use of someone they love, and the insight into their own use or abuse. Now, two years later, the CORE pro- gram has become an established success here at BHS. Many students have re- ceived help through this program. ‘‘More and more students are asking for help, not only in their own use, but also of those they love,” expressed C.J. Bott, a faculty member who is actively involved in the various aspects of the program. Faculty 143 Fancy Foot Work As the tension and anxiety of life in the 80’s mounts, people are finding more and more ways to relax and unwind. “I enjoy running mostly because it is a means of dealing with the stress and frustrations of life. And the 40 minutes of complete mental and physical relaxation,” stated Yearbook Adviser Barb Israel emphatical- ly, who is training for her first race this spring. Jogging has become a craze here at BHS for many members of the faculty. Mr. Hans Pohler, a member of the Eng- lish department, has run in several 10 ki- lometer races. ‘‘Jogging is fun and it’s a great way to end the day, said Mr. Pohler, who can be seen jogging in the McKinley-High Street area in pleasant weather and around the South House wing all winter. Mr. Weglicki, who dislikes races be- cause his strength is in longer distances, has run in several marathons and in Revco’s 10K races. ‘‘I wanted excercise and to get into good condition. Racquetball is too expensive, so I jog,” stated Mr. Weglicki. Mr. Frank Perez, Assistant Principal, has been running for six years. He ran track in high school and received a schol- arship to Purdue University where he let- tered in track for two years. Before he came to BHS, he was track coach at Glenville High School, where he led his team to the state championship his last year. So if you should ever be wandering in the South House after school, and are baffled by the pattering sounds behind you, beware that “jogmania” has struck many members of the faculty at BHS.

A major change was instituted this year that en- abled students to make better academic choices. It was a change for teachers and counselors as well as students, but the change signaled positive growth. Some ART POWER Senior art students Tammy Hicks and Michelle Wright display samples of thetr classes handiwork. Booths were set up in the cafeteria so that students could get a variety of information be- fore making their final course selections. SHOPPING AROUND Keith Quesada and Ron Ladina man the Graphic Arts display and explain some of the options to Scott Gentry. Students were allowed to see the displays during study halls as part of the new P R O B E program P.R.O.B.E. POW BHS students recognize the fact that they need to be exposed to a wide range of subjects which will provide them with some knowledge in a variety of areas. Other students may choose to concentrate their efforts in one specialized area. But many don’t know which direction to go. Enter P.R.O.B.E. The Probe Program, which stands for the Planned Review of Bedford Education- al Programs, was designed as a new ap- proach to student scheduling. Rather than limiting the students to choices made hast- ily and on the basis of little knowledge, or worse yet on the vagaries offered by fel- low students, Probe offered each student a chance to find out the most about the course offerings from the people who know them the best, the teachers! January 25th, the first Monday of the new semester, was set aside as the kick- off day for the new program. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors started the day with a forty minute homeroom. There they received non-stop information from their H.R. teachers plus a program of studies booklet and a perspective course selection sheet. In the thirty-three minute classes that followed, each student re- ceived general information about the course offerings in each department as well as individual attention from teachers so that the wisest choices were made for next year. Booths were also set up in the cafeteria to help give students a better idea of what was available. The new program took a lot of time and planning, but the end result- strengthening the academic connection — was well worth it. SOUND ADVICE As part of the P R O B E day ac tivities Mr Robert Loeffler helps one of his students make the appropriate math selections for next year Most teachers and students found the day very help fui. 146 Probe Helping students make the best academic connections Probe 147 Meeting Requirements If a BHS student intends to graduate in 1983 it will be required that that student have a minimum of 18 credits instead of the usual 17. If a student is a member of the class of ’84 the minimum required credits will be 19. This change in the minimum require- ments came about when a committee of teachers and administrators met and de- cided that in order for more students at BHS to take advantage of the Bedford High School academic program, an in- crease in requirements was necessary. Ac- cording to head counselor Mr. Kostansek, “We wanted to get our kids to take ad- vantage of the many classes offered at Bedford and at the same time increase the high school’s academic level.” In the past a high school student was only required to have a minimum of 17 credits with three credits each of English and social studies, one unit each of math- ematics, science and physical education, one-half additional units of electives. Mr. Kostansek remarks, “If we expect more from our students we will get a little more from them.” He continued, “It’s going to make it more difficult to fail.” It appears that the students at BHS are going to have to devote more time to their school work and prepare their schedules accord- ingly to meet the new standards here. In order to meet the demands of addi- tional requirements and rapid changes in our society in general, new courses have been added to the offerings here at BHS. One of these new courses was the Surviv- al Economics course, which was designed to help prepare students for the world outside of high school. The idea for this course came about when teachers felt it was important to get students ready for the “real” world of paying bills, buying in- surance, and providing for their families. There was one class a day for two se- mesters taught jointly by Mr. Peterson and Mrs. Me Bane in the NLGI. The en- rollment in the course was about sixty stu- dents a semester. The course covered SURVIVAL TIME Senior Greg Cole examines his notes in Mr Peterson’s Survival Economics course The class was set up to help better prepare stu- dents for the economic challenge of the 80’s.

I feel like it has helped me make wise de- cisions when it comes to spending my money, stated Vershoun Jackson, a senior enrolled in the course. Teaching students how to spend their money wisely was one thing, but teaching a student how to use a computer was another. In a course called Computer Literacy students learned the fundamental operations of the computer itself and the elementary pro- gramming basics. This course was de- signed to provide students with an oppor- tunity to see what it is like to work with a computer. According to Mr. Perry, ‘‘Computers today are affordable and competent, the computer is common in everyday life and it helps to know what’s going on. The computer course was taught twice a day, once by Mr. Perry and also by Mr. Brewer. The course was taught with extensive hands-on exper- ience; the students not only wrote their own programs but they entered them into the computer. There was a tremendous interest in the expansion of the course for the 1982-83 school year because counsel- ors had a lot of students sign up for the course, unfortunately the Computer Liter- acy course will not be offered next year. The Computer course may not be around next year, but one thing that will have to return for sure is Academic Chal- lenge. Bedford’s Academic Challenge team won their 1981 contest bringing their won-loss record to 7-2. Mrs. Dickard, who teaches social studies here at BHS, has been the teams advisor for 11 years. The 1981 team consisted of Sue Macek, Mike Klaasse and Joe Pavicic, who brought victory to BHS once again.

Stephanie Ward, also a Senior Cos’ member feels that to improve the Cos’ program “more modern equipment, and some field trips”, are needed. Senior Chris Speziale said, “We need better quality in our small supplies.’’ So the next time you’re walking down the hall and smell something strange, it could be either permanent solution or a grease fire in the making 152 Cosmetology CHOW TIME Tony Rush is one of many male stu- dents who are opting for foods classes as opposed to the more traditional shop classes.

Junior Brent Pace who is interested in a career in the printing field when he graduates said, “The graphic arts pro- gram here is very good. I especially enjoy Mr Galvin, who gives you an assignment and then allows you to work on your own.” Graphics is basically a one year course but under a State mandated pro- gram some Bedford students spend a part of their school day at nearby Solon High School where graphics facilities exist which are not available at BHS. In turn some Solon students come to Bedford to studt electronics, machine shop, and auto body. Junior Renee Jordan stated. “The time I spent at Solon was very helpful. I have learned to operate printing equip- ment, do type setting, and improve my photography skills.” The auto body shop offerings range from fixing dents to completely rebuilding and repainting cars and trucks. The classes work on faculty cars as well as students’ cars. In the electronics area students who take the full two year course will repair and build radios, TV’s, and stereo sys- tems. All of these programs are designed to teach skills which could be helpful to the students in obtaining employment after graduation. Since more women are enter- ing the work force these days than ever before, it is no surprise that there are more women enrolled in every aspect of industrial education. Junior Sandee Davis commented, “I decided to try graphic arts because all of my four brothers went through the program. I’ve enjoyed it even though I don’t like getting ink all over me.” ROLE REVERSAL. More and more female students are taking advantage of the traditionally ‘‘male’ vo- cational classes Junior Brenna Garratt works on a project in print shop. EASY PACE Working on a silk screen project in Graphic Arts II is Junior Brent Pace, who would like to become a professional printer. I really like the program here and intend to take Graphic Arts III next year. said Brent Vocational 155 BHS has a well rounded Fine Arts pro- gram which includes music, both vocal and instrumental, a highly developed art program, and the ever popular dramatic arts. “Art III and Art IV are excellent pro- grams that provide a college like atmo- sphere,” explained junior, Brenna Garrett. “You have your own easel, drawing table, and supply space,” she continued. This is just one of the many students who partici- pate in the Fine Arts program. That helps make the “connection” to the job market, continue wi the art on the college level, or just as a hobby. Included in this is a music program with several vocal groups; band; orchestra; dramatic arts; and music theory, a class designed to teach appre- ciation of music. The stagecraft class, which constructs the sets for school pro- ductions, had to be cancelled this year. It will however, be offered in the fall of ’82. “Art is practice, not just talent,” ex- pressed art instructor Mr. Rabatin. “I pro- vide the critique; that’s why I’m here.” Mr. Rabatin’s classes offer everything from commercial art to crafts, and every general form of art in between. The de- partment usually likes to get students with potential talent as freshmen, but everyone is welcome to show what abilities they possess or to learn some basic techniques and art appreciation. When asked if there is a close working relationship between the teacher and the student, one senior art student comment- ed, “Not really, you mostly work by your- self.” On the other hand, Brenna Garratt stated, “I can really relate to Mr. Rabatin’s style. He tries to open up your own style and creativity.” To attest to the excellence of the Fine Arts Program here, 60% of BHS art stu- dents who further their education in an- other art program receive some type of scholarship. Although the Fine Arts Program is as old as the Bedford School System itself, some changes could be made. We are always in need of more space, especially for the ceramics class,” reported Rabatin. LOFTY VIEW The only classroom at Bedford with a balcony is the Art III and IV loft Students in this program have their own easels, work tables, and storage space 156 Academics FINISHING TOUCHES Applying the finishing touch es to his painting is Senior Jim Kirchner. “I really enjoy art a lot, especially the satisfaction of complet ing a project. Jim plans on pursuing a more lucra- tive career, however SOFT TOUCH. Sketching a wedding couple with charcoal pencil is Laura Pachnowski. I have en- joyed the art program here at Bedford a lot, com mented Laura, and I feel as though my basic skill level has really improved.

SHOP TALK Tenth period everyday means yearbook class For some students it was truely a learning experience as well as a tremendous amount of work. Donna Tabor and Kim Peterson, in the background, are checking receipt books after the first sale 158 Publishing Arts A Plethora of Words tion is necessary and they aren’t produc- tive,” revealed Israel. ‘‘And those stu- dents who can write are subdivided so many ways that it’s useless,” she contin- ued. Life on the yearbook staff was mora harried than anyone could have possibly conceived in the beginning of the year. “I signed up because I thought it would be an easy credit. 1 soon realized that this was not the case and now I want the sat- isfaction of seeing my articles in print,” admitted Junior Mary Jane Chick. The newspaper was equally desperate for workers. “Of the 12 presently on the staff, six did the bulk of the work,4 stat- ed Newspaper Advisor Rex Davis. “We’ve got some good writers on our staff, but many are burdened down with other responsibilities, and spread too thin- ly to do justice to themselves,” he re- marked. Besides financial problems faced by the newspaper staff, they also dealt with the limitations of their topics. “Some issues in a high school newspaper are super sensi- tive and reporters are sometime frustrated when everything cannot be revealed,” added Davis. “1 was furious when a story of a controversial nature came my way and an administrative authority of this school came down on me,” reacted Jean Zepp, a member of both staffs. “They ac- tually told me to limit my stories to posi- tive topics, even if they were factual and not editorial,” she explained. The Epic and 4th Estate certainly had their problems, however, “yearbookie” Joyce Brooks stated, “It was a lot of hard work but it was a learn- ing experience.” PROOF READER Fourth Estate sports editor Der rick Flowers proof reads the personals section of the February issue of the paper 1 enjoy participating in sports, so covering them for the paper seemed a natural. commented Derrick. DARKROOM ETIQUETTE. Junior Annette Drowlette develops film in the resource center dark room. Annette photographed as well as developing pictures for the yearbook. The 4th Estate and Epic are publica- tions widely read by BHS students, and yet few work on the staffs. Of the 22 people on the yearbook staff, Advisor Barbara Israel indicated that “less than 50% of those 22 actually produced.” It was evident that problems would arise for both staffs due to the lack of personpower, even on the part of those who joined the staffs. “Students sign up not really knowing what skills and dedica- A Dearth of Workers Publishing Arts 159 Senior Parent Page Mr and Mrs Harry Adams Parents of John Adams Mr and Mrs James Barbato Parents of Diana Barbato Mr and Mrs. John Jerome Bartko Parents of Carl John Bartko Mr. and Mrs. Leonard A Battaglia Parents of Judy Battaglia Jim and Kathleen Bills Parents of Michele Bills Mr and Mrs Frankie J.

John 99 Index 183 Index 185 The 1982 Bedford High School Epic ti- tled “Connect Four”, was printed by In- ter-Collegiate Press of Mission, Kansas. The cover is black shoegrain, 500, hot stamped in red and silver foil. The cover was designed by Junior Brenna Garratt. The book is printed on dull matte paper, 80, and the liners are white vellum printed in 30% black. The books are smythe sewn, rounded, and backed. Type styles for the body of the book are Souvenir and Rhonda ranging from 8 point to 10 point. Rhonda headlines were used for the opening, closing, and divider pages. The remainder of the headlines were Saul Bold. Mr. John Fowley served as ICP representative. The Bedford High School Epic is a member of National Scholastic Press Asso- ciation, Columbia Scholastic Press Associ- ation, and Northern Ohio Press Associ- ation. The 1981 edition of the Epic received the following awards; from NSPA, a Four-Star All-American rating; from CSPA, the Medalist certificate; from NOSPA, the Buckeye Award. The production of the 1982 Epic would have been impossible without the major contributions of the following yearbook staff members: Mary Jane Chick for her help with everything from picture identifications to photographers assistant, Sandee Davis for her photography, lay- outs, and many late nights, Annette Drowlette for writing, photography, and captions, Brenna Garratt for her excellent design skills, lay-outs, and photography, Louisa Griffin, for writing, captions, and business work, April Holt for her continu- ous energy devoted to writing, Mizell Stewart for writing and photography, and Jean Zepp for the outstanding writing job, especially on the opening and closing of the book. Important contributions were also made by Beth Andrus, Penny Codner, Brian Langguth, Jeannie Mackris, Gladys Nalls, Kim Peterson, and Donna Tabor. Thanks are also in order to the follow- ing people for their help: Jim Davis, Wen- dy Fuller, Marsha Simpson, and Alison Spoto. The yearbook staff appreciates the time and effort donated by the following non- staff individuals: Elizabeth McNellie, Karl Smith, and Dan Annett for their writing, Gina Augusta for typing, Mr. Frank Weglicki for his technical consultations, and Mr. Richard Israel for typing, chauf- feuring and much needed moral support. 186 Colophon Staff Collage 187 The Year end Assesment of sports and extra- curricular activities plop . . . plop . . . fizz . . . fizz . . . ‘‘Listen, Barb. There are those crazy computer games again.” ‘‘No, Frank. That is just the Alka Selt- zer I’m taking for the headache I have from working so many long hours on the 1982 yearbook.” “You must be kidding. I thought yearbook was all glamour and getting to look at school pictures.” ‘‘Well, you’re terribly mistaken, Frank. Yearbook is writing story after story and drawing lay-outs to accomodate the length of the stories and then co-ordinating ev- erything together in order to get the yearbook out on time. Unfortunately, there are some people who just can’t get things done and the yearbook is delayed more and more.” “I’m sorry. Barb, I had no idea that so much work actually went into the yearbook.” “That’s O K. Frank.” “Anyway, speaking of computer games, I’ve done a lot of reading about the video game craze.” “Oh, good. I’m glad I got you interest- ed in what may be America’s latest pasttime.” “Barb, did you know that some psychi- atrists feel that video computer games provide players with gratification due to the intense challenge they provide?” “Yes, I suppose it’s because players participate in star battles with crazy lasers and cartoon-like bombs, and all they have to lose is their quarter, and if they win, they conquer the universe.” VIDEO MANIA Capitalizing on the recent video craze is the Industrial Arts department who set up part of their Probe Day presentation as a video game Sophomore James Clary gives it his best shot 188 Closing GOING BESERK.

In a magazine article I read that more than three million quarters were pumped into video games last year.’’ “That’s a lot of money. Barb.” “You know it!” “My favorite game though is still a noncomputer game. Barb.” “Which one is that, Frank?” “Connect Four.” “Oh sure, I know that one really well; we used it as a springboard for this years theme. You know, game playing and mak- ing a go of four classes here at BHS.” “Oh, I get it, Barb. There are all kinds of ways to ‘connect’ the kids here at school.” “Right, Frank. Like the Cross Country team for example. It turned out to be the only varsity sport that allowed freshman competition.” “Oh I remember hearing about that. Of the six freshmen on the team, three have lettered already.” “As I look over the year, Frank, there really were an enormous number of ways for our students to get involved and make ‘connections’.” “There were opportunities on all levels. Barb, from the sophisication of the Thearts productions to the hilarity of Don- key Basketball.” ON STAGE.

They played everything from Backgammon to ping pong!” “I wonder if they had a ‘Connect Four’ tournament, Barb?” ‘‘I don’t think so, Frank, but maybe we can get Mr. Korduba to include that in next years agenda!” “Now that I think about It, we even worked towards greater involvement on the everyday classroom level, too.” “In what ways, Frank?” “In addition to the Computer Literacy course, Survival Economics was certainly an attempt to ‘connect’ students with the outside world.” “Right! And the new Probe Day started this year was part of the administration and faculties efforts to help students make the best academic ‘connections’.” “So I guess we did accomplish our goal, Frank.” “And what goal was that. Barb?” “To ‘Connect Four’ . . . !” BACK STAGE. Hamming it up for the camera are Donna Dvorak and Asia Masad. both Thearts mem bers and part of the cast of the spring play.
