Affectionately dubbed SherifT,', she sees all, knows all, and tells Cnearlyb everythingu-at extremely incon- venient times, according to some students. Emogene Hart, secretary to the principal, writes letters, checks files, cuts stencils, and answers telephones from dawn to dusk. The grimmer duties of tax estimates, pay-roll rec- ords, book orders, and business office reports on a big scale rest on the shoulders of Miss Zulene johnson, secretary to the superintendent. Assistant principal, dean of boys, attendance checker, war bond drive director, and guidance director, make up the administrative duties of Maurice McFadden. H. A. Lloyd, principal of Bedford High School, is the Court of Final Appeals in matters ranging from home room assignment to tournament management. How he keeps cheerful through it all no one knows-but he does it. Back of all the details of school management stand the school board and the superintendent. H. H. Mourer, super- intendent, explains matters of post-war planning to C. O. Turner, president, Arch Voris, secretary, and Rollie Tindal, treasurer of the school board. i ? 1 like it Y 1. 'V - .. . -5 1- fc L- i ' Miss Georgie Mitchusson, senior sponsor, checks with class president, Bob XXfilliams, the matter of invitation selec- tion. This is but one of the multitude of little matters that make up the big task of senior sponsor. Magazine sales, dance bands, a class president who graduates, tickets for a play, almost any of these problems may be the one that causes the serious expressions on the faces of these two sponsors of the junior class-Miss Faye XX7itte and john Eggleston. My Life is an Open Book is Mrs. Andersonls theme song, as she pores over the big registers that hold the finan- cial records of all the activities of Bedford High School. Everything from a roll of adhesive tape to a S500 grocery bill for the cafeteria shows up on her books. According to state law . . is the unyielding edict of A. W. Miller, attendance officer, who reasons with parents and pupils alike on the problems of school attendance. Keeping the building neat and clean is the responsibility of the custodians, under the direction of Charles Hutton. Harlan Mitchell and Charles Taylor, with their assistants, Robert Borden, Robert Mitchell, and Robert Voightschild are on the job-day in and day out. not ' 31 - 1 lf r iii i Q iii 2? aw .5 i E s In Grateful Memories do Them, Our Gfd6!Il6lf6J, S0 Live, Charles Rariden .......

No better picture of Miss Mitchusson could be carried in the minds of any senior class than that presented in these words. John Torphy, class of '38, says it for all the classes of her sponsorship. A TRIBUTE G-Grandest personality in Bedford's High School, E - Every student she inspires to use the Golden Rule. O -On with her spirit of always a try, R - Right from wrong, and never say die. G - Gray through these years her hair has grown, and I -I know that many of her graduates have flown, A -Around this world and into fame. M - Motherly in assisting one to learn her way I -I can visualize her standing there today, T -Telling many facts and fiction true, of C - Chapman's Horner and of Tennyson too. H - Happy always, never blue, U -Up to success she appeals to you. S - She's sincere, kind, thoughtful and true, S -Seniors love het and her smile. O - On their side she agrees to be. N - Never will I forget her-she lives in my memory. -JOHN TORPHY, 1958 Bow GIRL Those Who Are C'Most Among Us 6'-ani'-F3 Ill X I gi! Tl . - C V M, Il X nn yi ,if Mosr XVHAT?

Miss Newsom is dean of girls, helps check attendance, is president of the Bedford Teachers Federation, sponsors Girl Reserve, supervises Junior Red Cross, and is a hall supervisor during lunch period. Miss Chase is publications supervisor. What one doesn't know about the students the other one does. The 're ood ones to kee on the ood side of. Never end Y 8 a sentence with a prepositionlj Members of the Pioneer staff attempt to picture, in one book, the entire year's activities of the entire school. Hampered by stand stock shortages, film shortages, illness, and unavoidable delays so numerous that the whole thing looked hopeless at times, they struggled on to the completion of this year's book. Publication work seems to be one long struggle. Mrs. Margaret Schroedle, Keeper of the Booksn, trains her student assistants to file, mark books, and seek out reference material for students and teachers. Library club members, serious and sober, study library problems, make reports, give book reviews, and go on picnics. Mrs. Schroedle directs this group, also. The Stone City Studentn, a bi-weekly publication, is the joy and despair of the journalism class. They struggle to meet dead-lines and long to make Ais. Seldom is either ambition achieved,-but they still struggle. Literary club members directed by Miss Durrenberger ac- quaint themselves with classics old and new by giving book reports, biographical sketches and historical studies that bring the world of books into the world of facts. Scarlet and Purple, drama club of the school, sets high standards for membership and offers opportunity for much fun and work. Try-outs are held twice a year and the club meets regularly for study and practice. Miss Helen Gunn, member of the English department and director of dramatics, directs two hard working Thespians in preparation for one of the many plays given during the year. Girl Reserve, the high school branch of the Y. W. C. A., does much to encourage a high type of school conduct. Regular group and cabinet meetings do much to build up a spirit of unity among the members. Service work of many kinds and study groups make up the work of the club. Miss Myrtle Norman adds supervision of sales of War Sav- ings Stamps and Bonds to her many duties as an English teacher of Bedford High School. Student assistants makethe sales and purchase the bonds for student investors. Miss Georgie Mitchusson, head of English department and senior class sponsor, makes learning a pleasure by using records of songs and famous literary passages to dramatize the study of the classics that form the background of her Work. Students select the records and operate the machine. Business Trains For Accuracy Bedford High School takes much pride in the fact that the Commerce Department offers such fine training that many of its graduates go at once into well paid positions in the business world immediately upon gradua- tion. Office practice groups learn business ethics along with the practical problems of taking notes, transcribing, filing, checking, recording, and keeping one's face straight while talking to absurd visitors and impatient supervisors. Mrs. Thelma Anderson Cbelow, leftb teaches General Math and junior Busi- ness Methods. Miss Helen Denny Cbelow, rightb gives the beginning and advanced typing work along with secretarial training. Accuracy, Accuracy, Accuracy is the motto of Miss Marjorie Priest Qleft, abovej and Arnold W. Tur- mail C right, aboveb, who teach geometry and algebra. 9' Qi Ffh 4, .lf ,,,. ,fl . lmrtiiat ly catlets, l tcclsitm The Science Department, with its courses in chemistry, physics, radio, biology, and aeronautics, serves a splen did purpose in preparing students to understand the world of today and to cope with some of the problems of the world of tomorrow. Vernon Crane and Miss Frances Members of the Science Club are divided into groups for special study of lields which hold particular interest. Radio and photography are the most popular of these fields. Durrenberget Crightb teach biology all day long. Miss Durrenberger gets some variety from her two classes of English ll, but Mr. Crane delves into the mysteries of plant and animal life the whole day through. John Eggleston Cfar leftb gets variety into his school diet by serving as junior sponsor along with teaching shorthand, bookkeeping, and retail selling. Richard Winn Cleftj shifts from general math to physics, to chemistry, and to radio dur- ing his school day. No monot- ony there! Miss Gwladys Roberts drills in the traditional amo, amas, amt , along with teaching Health and Safety to the girls. She insists that Latin and germs make a terrible mixture. Miss Mabel Brooks makes no ef- fort to conceal the fact that it is dili- cult to decide which is worse, X:O or Spanish declensions and conjuga- tions. Latin, English and Orientation classes fill the dayys schedule for Miss Inez Painter, shown here explaining a fine point in grammar to one of her students. Members of the Latin Club sing Latin songs, say Latin rhymes, learn Roman practices and put much emphasis on the study of modern applications of Latin words and meanings. 'T' 'A-.. manners, dress practices, cus toms, and beliefs of the Span world. 'Si Spanish club members study to be good neighborsn by acquainting themselves with ish speaking nations of thc n Understanding r lations Emil Held, Claude Kelley, Maurice McFadden. and Mrs. Elizabeth Eitel make up the starr of the Social Studies division of the high school. Their work includes such courses as Wforld History, U. S. History, Econo- mics, Civics, Geography. and Social Problems. No student may graduate without earning a minimum of four credits in these fields. Members of the Victory Corps are directed by Mr. McFadden in leading all the patriotic enterprises sponsor- ed by the school. They sponsored the salvage drives of last year, and are the spark of all the special War Bond and Stamp drives. 'ui'- Hi-Y Club members carry on a program of leadership training and of athletic and social activities that is de- signed to develop A Well- rounded lifg for the high school boy. Mr. Kelley di- rected them at the first of the year. but Mr. Viviun is their sponsor now. in I l ' ' .C V, gy- f , .- ' . ,Q--sy f f flpiit ET-rg' l Q jf.jlfQm.. l it iii . ,,,1, .. . , Us 44-.1 W , ,, M .Y l Miss Marjorie Cox, clothing teacher, has done much through the activities of the Co-Ed Guild to popularize the needle-crafts and hand skills so neces- sary for the future home makers of the nation. The girl who knows how to sew and knit and darn and crochet can save herself many a dollar along with filling many empty hours with useful activities. Wood work and lathe work, along with me- chanical dtawing, keep Mr. Beals busy throughout the day, but he is never too busy to give the word of encouragement or praise that helps the student to be proud of his work and to do better work. Home nursing is a vital factor in successful home making these days. Girls in the home management classes gain much by the training offered by Miss Cox and the city nurses who assist in this work. Metal shop classes under Mr. Hughes work steadily all afternoon mastering the mechanics of the powerful machines that perform the many miracles in metal that contribute to our modern civilization. :lx 6 Fil 1' 'Xl 1 rl Witt' S lL'l'4fii'lIErllill'i -a mb a. ,Y LjQ,.5 vgfvg Y Y -,yd Y , , , ,ul l l L13 In Cafeteria supervision is the most trying of the many trying duties of Miss LaVonne Maish, foods teacher of Bedford High School. In these days of food shortages and high point values it is a real problem to prepare well balanced meals at moderate cost that will please the palates and the pocketbooks of high school and grade students. Between 200 and 500 students eat daily in the high school cafeteria. Mrs. Ethel Frank, art supervisor, serves a real purpose in school and community by training stu- dents of all ages to see and appreciate beauty. Not all students will become artists in skill, but all can become artists in appreciation. Music hath power- sang Shakespeare long ago, and through the activities of Miss Catherine Keach that power is demonstrated in many ways in the city schools of Bedford. Honors in both chorus and solo work have been brought to Bedford in the past through her efforts, and when the war ends and transportation is again possible she will again lead her students in successful competition with other choral groups of the state. Instrumental music has always been popular with high school boys and girls, and the genial leadership of Mr. Thomas has made it especially popular this year. This group, preparing for an audition, is typical of the many small groups with which Mr. Thomas works day in and day out. - 1 - . X ' ' i.

When family calls must be made and medical care recommended Miss Shaffer is unsparing in her efforts to help the children. Milk lunches in all the grade buildings are her particular care. Dr. R. E. Wynne, school doctor, makes regular health check-ups among the chil- dren of the grade schools where the greater number of cases of contagious illnesses develop. His duties as county coroner and as a general practitioner have never kept him from serving school needs first. Coach Ralph Holmes Games and sport programs are a joy to a gym teacher, but the real worth of a physical education program is proved in the regular daily routine of exercises that help build straight backs and strong mus- cles for those who participate. Miss Faye Witte, enthusiastic and energetic, has made the health program a real force in the life of the high school girls. is as famed for pungent wit and quick speech as he is for training boys to make a fine showing in athletic endeavors. His record in developing good sportsmanship along with hne athletes is an enviable one, admired throughout the state.

Our clamorous corridor-May it continue to accommodate the heavy traffic. The annual Christmas tree is a project of the Student Council. The boys get the tree and the girls decorate it. Projects of the sewing class are exhibited on the day of the Mother-Daughter teag boys in the woodwork class do everything from making small trinklets to repairing broken chairs, the aroma of food travels through the lower hall from Miss Maish's Home Economic classes as the girls learn to cook. The Art department has brought fame to Bedford High. Industrious students diligently applying the advice of Mrs. Frank turn out the finished products worthy of recognition in statewide contests. They help other B.H.S. clubs with posters, invitations, and signs, and are full of vim, vigor, and helpful co- operation. Mrs. Eitel's senior Civics Classes throw a gala Christ- mas party.

Six lettermang XVil1iams, Hunter, Jeffries, Mitchell, Hitchcock, and Beretta, returned from last yearls squad. Johnson, Morrison, and Love from last year's reserve team, plus jerry Queen from W'ashington Catholic and Bob Young from New Salem made up the total of this year's varsity group. The Cutters started the season nicely with a 55-11 victory over Salem, but lost the first out of town game to Jasper 47-35. Before the season ended Uncle Sam stepped in, taking Joe Hunter and Bob W'illiams for a larger all staru team. Morris Root, a sophomore, was called from the reserve squad to make the tenth man. The team had a good season, experiencing only four defeats and enjoying fourteen victories. jasper, Mitchell, Bosse of Evansville, and -leffersonville were the only teams able to conquer the Cutters this year and of these Mitchell and Jeffersonville met revenge in the Sectional and Regional tournaments. The season ended with the Cutters shooting a .577 average from the foul line and .260 from the field. They averaged forty- two points a game. Wlien tourney time arrived in February the Stonecutters defeated Shawswick, Mitchell, and Fayetteville easily in the Mitchell gym. The next week, in the Regional tourney. they defeated Brownstown on their home floor 57-32, and outplayed the strong Jeffersonville quintet 45-38 in the evening. From there the Cutters started up state road 37 for the third time, this time to Bloomington for the semi-finals, where the state champs, Bosse, awaited them. Somehow, the basket just wasnk in the right place and the Bull Dogs Won 44-34. Bob Young, Jerry Queen, and Captain Charlie Beretta were the leading scorers for the season. These boys along with Bob Williams, Joe Hunter, Bob Morrison, Paul Love, and Dale Johnson are seniors this year and helped make a swell season. We wish Bill Jeffries, Wfayne Mitchell, George Hitchcock, and Morris Root the best of luck next year. 'Q' 'Q of 5' 1 'tit of Good Bosses Get Good Work Done Coach Ralph Holmes and Claud Kelley have given Bedford many first rate basketball teams. Mr Holmes turned to baseball when the spring days came, while Mr. Kelley has been busy with the golf team. Come on no-w, is that all the louder you can yell. Time after time this challenge was made by Marilyn Acton, Campbell Fields, and Jo Mascio, B. H. S. yell leaders. Marilyn and Jo are sporting new red sweaters after three years of service and Campbell, though in his first year, raised the spirits and voices of the B. H. S. fans. These two fellows did a lot of dirty work and got very little credit for it. Gib Soder' finished his second year managing the Cutters and left soon after for the Army. Joe Johnson, serving his first year, did a fine job with the Reserve and Varsity teams. VARSITY SCHEDULE DATE WINNER LOSER November Bedford ..... .... S alem ..... November Jasper .... Bedford . . .

' Girls Sports Interest Runs High The Girls Athletic Association sponsored by Miss W'itte, is the largest organization in B. H. S., having ninety members. The freshmen have been especially interested in G. A. A. activities and have given the upperclassmen much competition. G. A. A. offers a variety of sports for each season, among them basketball, volleyball, bowling, softball, and many unorganized activities. G. A. A. sends an invitation to all girls in high school next year to come on out, its lots of funf' Bowling, under the direction of Ann Furst, began lst fall as an unorganized sport but became a major activity early in December. The girls kept the bowling alleys filled with strikes, spares, and plenty of gutter balls each Monday evening. Var- sity members are Doris Albeitz, Jane Bass, Alice Fisher, Shirley Fisher, Ann Furst, Ann Hitchcock, Virginia Holt, Betty Irick, Freddie Kibler, and Anna Mae Quacken- bush. Marian Armstrong was sports head of basketball which met on Thursdays for upper-classmen and Fridays for freshmen and sophomores. Connie True, Marian Sherwood, Virginia Morris, Virginia Holt, Ann Hitchcock, Betty Irick, Freddie Kib- ler, Ann Allen, Phyl Armstrong, and Marian Armstrong made up the basketball varsity. Here is the volleyball varsity with sports leader Harriett Turner. These girls met Tuesday afternoons in the gym dur- ing winter months and on the new outside courts this spring. The varsity includes Harriett Turner, Connie True, Marian Sherwood, Anna Mae Quackenbush, Avanelle Olson, Ann Hitchcock, Adrienne Hitchcock, Betty Henderson, Mary Hurst, Reva Grogan, Carolyn Guthrie, and Ann Allen. hrough G. A. A. Activities The G. A. A. executive committee is composed of the club ofiicers and all sports heads. They are Marian Sher- wood, president, Betty Farrell, vice- president, Ann Allen, secretary, Phyllis Armstrong, treasurer, Connie True, head of all sports, Ann Furst, bowling, Adrienne Hitchcock, softball, Harriett Turner, volleyball, Marian Amstrong, basketball, and Carolyn Guthrie, un- organized sports. The Girls Athletic Association is a state wide organization. The Bedford High School branch organized in the spring of 1942 under the direction of Miss Carolyn Dejean, and immediately it became one of the largest and most active of the B. H. S. activity groups. G. A. A. activities are divided into two sections, organized and unorganized sports. Organized sports meet once a week under the supervision of Miss Fae Witte, physical education instructor. Unorganized sports are carried out after school hours and are generally given credit by a signed statement of time. These are put in the G. A. A. activities box in the front hall. During the school year basketball, bowling, volleyball, and softball were offered as organized sports with ping pong, bowling, badminton, hiking, bicycling, golf, archery, and other sports as unorganized. These are carried out for certain sports seasons, usually a twelve weeks period. Each hour participated in a sport gives a G. A. A. girl one point. When a total of one hundred fifty points has been gained an award of a block B is given. For two hundred fifty points a girl is given an Old English UB . The state award of a wall plaque is presented for three hundred fifty points. To be eligible for the state award the girl must be a senior or second semester junior and have 50 of 350 points in tests covering at least live sports. The four year record must be approved by a state com- mittee. G. A. A. begins activity each year after an annual picnic at Wilson Park. A softball game is played to help the appetites of the G. A. A. girls who attend. After the Wiener roast the girls have active games and sing G.A.A. and well known Camp SOI1gS. The executive committee was invited to attend a G. A. A. sports day at Indiana University last February. Here they saw equipment displays and exhibition games of volleyball, basketball, and badminton with much stress on refereeing and knowledge of the game. G. A. A. girls from Bloomington, Seymour, Martinsville, Bedford, and several other schools attended. They were guests of the university at a special luncheon at the Union Building. The girls were impressed and returned to Bedford resolving to make the Bedford club a better organization. Another highlight in February was the class tournament. Each class was represented by the best basketball players in all gym classes composing the teams. The big upset of the year was the 20-17 defeat given the sophomores by a strong freshman UECIITI. Enthusiasm was keen this spring when after the semi-finals they were given use of the boys gym. The Streamliners fought it out with the Slick Chicks in many a battle here. Use was also made of the new volleyball courts erected in the Junior High school yard. G. A. A. means work as well as fun for those who wish to earn awards. But all work and no 'play makes Jack a dull boy and Jill is no different. She likes sports too. 1 7 ,, 4fIl 'bp r C ' ' CC , ' . .SWF af Just A Memor Q f. 1 , Y 45 l li i . 'f , it y.

Young Politican Uses Occult Powers Mr. Robert Williams, Esq., now that he is running for the presidency of the United States in this year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and sixty-three, thought that if he could locate each member of the class of 1945, his campaign would be as successful a one as it was eighteen years ago when he was elected president of the senior class. In order to do this Mr. Williams went to Madam Zuling de Macado O'Brain.

Louder and louder We will sing your praises-now and always- Days will slip into years, welll grow old, but we'll never forget. Over and over again we'll remember that in your name Forever and ever, we, the class of '45, must press forward! Tommorrow is our day. We are the builders Of that new world, and our goal is high. More work, more hardships, but until the world is nearer perfect Our dreams will fail to satisfy.
