This page is sponsored by STEPHENSON ' S CLOTHING OUR GYM Since 1926 this building has been the scene of many triumphs and griefs for Bedford High School Gallons of tears have been shed here, bushels of con- fetti have been swept from the floor, barrels of pickels and tons of candy have been sold to our hungry fans. Although we didn ' t win the 1 955 sectional, we were greatly rewarded for the season of hard work and tough luck, by victory over Mitchell. our MARCH OF DIMES Each year thousands of dimes from generous sports fans swell the coffers of the March of Dimes. PIONEER STANDS Rush ' Rush ' Rush 1 This is the theme of the Pioneer stands at the half of the big game. Here we see Bob Lee, David Guthrie, and- Jean Williams busy selling eskimo pies. WE LEARN BY DOING SHOP BUILDING B.H.S. is fortunate in having one of the most modern and well-equipped shop buildings in Indiana. Here students may learn all phases of metal shaping or molding, the skills of me- chanical drawing, and the arts of woodworking. HOUSE OF BOOKS AND BOSSES Many abilities and hobbies are unknown to the general public which are possessed by the faculty and workers. The janitors were surprised by the quick flash of the camera while keeping the windows bright. Miss Newsom is bravely starting on the first trip in her car after recovering from a broken arm. One of Mr. Hartman ' s joys is his beautiful dog, Itsy. Mr. Mourer cools off in the snow. Mr. Brown and Mr. MacFadden worry about Sectional tickets while Barbara Bobbitt sells them. The Administration Building is the base of all school operations and houses the offices of the administrative men and women. This rarely seen view of our school shows how beautiful a seemingly drab place can be at night. We are lucky indeed to be able to have the lights and the opportunities to use them. A SELDOM SEEN VIEW Day after day, and year after year the students of Bedford High School fill the halls in just this manner. There will always be that hurry to the locker so a person can see that special some- one or just to see everyone. This page is sponsored by REUTER INSURANCE AGENCY Each year at Christmas time the Can- t?mus Club fills the halls with beauti- ful music. The Christmas tree seems to be the perfect background for the ancient carols. Students gather eagerly at lockers for an exchange of news. Maybe Joe is veiling Kay what Santa brought. Bob Lee and David Guthrie seem to be trying to sell Christmas wreaths to aid the Senior class. Good Luck, Guys! This is certainly a scene which is often seen around school. Apparently the funny was a good one, Pat. Helen thinks so, any- way. People enter high school as children and leave as supposedly adults. Here we see the long and the short of it. This page is sponsored by THE TOGGERY We see Sherry Winslow and Marlene Murray, both mem- bers of the senior class and candidates for the Homecoming queen, riding through town in the afternoon parade. HOMECOMING The second Homecoming of Bedford High School was held at the last football game of the 1954- ' 55 season. One candidate from each class was chosen by her classmates. The girls chosen this year were: Sherry Winslow, senior; Bar- bara Blackwood, junior; Pat Cameron, sophomore; and Susie Kibler, freshman. The mighty senior was chosen by the members of the team to reign as the second Homecoming Queen. Sherry Winslow, Homecoming Queen, and Barbara Blackwood seem very excited and very much in suspense as the mo- ment of final judgement ap- proaches. Congratulations to Sherry Win- slow, Homecoming Queen, and Bob Holzhause, the Captain for our successful Homecoming game.

That group elects its officers to guide and direct its activities. The officers for this year were: president, Larry Peterson; vice-president, Keith Greathouse; sec.-treas., Mary Jane Hobson. The Student Council aids in the yell-leader elections, directs the maga- zine sales each year, and always decorates the beautiful Christmas tree in the hall. Honors of Many Kinds NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY LEFT TO RIGHT — Mary J. Hobson, Mary R. Hartman, Marlene Murray, Pat Fitzgibbon, Dave Adams, Miss Painter (sponsor), Joe Mason, Jean Williams, Elizabeth Jourdan, Those students who best display the qualities of leadership, scholarship, character, and service are selected by a faculty com- mittee every year. The group is sponsored by Miss Inez Painter, and holds a formal induction service before the student body each year. Social Studies Club One of the regular occurrences at a Social Studies club meeting is a report, by a member, on a topic of historical interest to all. These reports usually pertain to Lawrence County facts, but they don ' t always have to. Here, Mary Lou Ravenna is holding the interest of club members Becky May, Carol Mullis, and Elizabeth Merrell. Mr. Hartman, the club ' s co-sponsor, is presiding at the meeting. The Social Studies Club, sponsored by Mr. Hague, is a relatively new club. It con- sists of seniors, juniors, and sophomores who have taken one year of social studies. The club had a distinct honor this year in that their president, Dave Adams, was also presi- dent of the State Historical Society. The Club ' s tours included trips to Tunnelton, Vincennes, and some instructive picnics in the Spring. ROW 1 — Mr. Hague, Bob Lee, Kay Mayo. Jean Wil- liams, Dave Adams. ROW 2, Mary R.

STONE CITY STUDENT STAFF LEFT TO RIGHT — Elizabeth Jourdan, Keith Creathouse, Carolyn Chastain, Larry Peterson, Becky May, and Ceraldine Allen. Publications Printing a school newspaper isn ' t as simple as it may seem. This year, the sponsor. Miss Chase, was handicapped by the fact that in the second semester there were only four members in the Journalism class. The Student Staff was as busy a class as could be. During seventh hour one may find them any- where — downtown getting ads, in the classrooms getting personals, or in Room 34 working very hard. The Student is issued every two weeks, and contains all items that would be of interest to students and teachers. The Pioneer BUSINESS STAFF One important part of the Pioneer Staff is the Business staff. These kids have the job of col- lecting ads to aid in financing the yearbook. Also included in this group are the Concession Manag- ers who service the stands operated by the staff at the football and basketball games. LEFT TO RIGHT — Charles Baker, Bob McPike (concessions), Ronald Clark, Gladys George, Ronald Bell, Rae J. Cripe, Dave Johnson, John Pless, and Jerry Blackburn (concessions). The Editorial Staff of the Pioneer has the job of actually writing up the yearbook. Countless hours of work go into the making of a yearbook. Each section is done by a group of students headed by an Editor and his assistants. Those long sessions of toil are also a time of fun and conversation.

This group is one of the largest organized clubs in Bedford High School. The members meet every other Monday evening in Room 44 with Mr. Coombs, B.H.S. science teacher. They have endeavored to have an appropriate speaker at each meeting to increase their knowledge of practical science Juniors and seniors are welcome to join and Mr. Coombs hopes to have an even larger club next year. Science Opens the Door to Adventure DRIVER TRAINING Mr. Crane familiarizes his class with the engine of a car. The main goal of driver training is to cultivate in high school students safe driving habits. This class, which meets five days a week for one semester, counts ' i credit toward graduation. In many surveys it has been proved that motorists with a background of driver training have better all-around records as safe drivers than non-trained drivers. This speaks well for the course, and all students who are unable to drive should take advantage of it. Hi-Y Club Hi-Y, which means High School Y.M.C.A., is a club for boys who have ideas of developing themselves spiritually as well as bodily. It is designed to culti- vate in high school boys a desire for clean living in every way. The members have meetings with Mr. Rohde every other Monday night Their biggest pro- ject during the year is the sponsorship of the Heart Fund.

The programs of this club are varied and numerous; all, however, are musical as the club ' s Latin name cantamus, meaning we sing , indicates. As is customary, the city grade schools, Junior High, and Senior High were entertained by club members at Christmastime with carols. Several of the downtown service clubs invited our choral group to perform for them. As a climax to their first semester chores the club gave an outstanding performance of H.M.S. Pina- fore. When one looks for the secret of this club ' s success, he finds it in the backing which the students receive from their sponsor, Miss Catherine Keach. This page is sponsored by GOODMAN JESTER H.M.S.

Pinafore is a charming operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan concerning the lives and loves of the skipper of the Pinafore, Captain Corcoran; his first mate, Ralph Rackstraw; and the First Lord of the Admiralty, Captain Joseph Porter. Conflict enters the lives of these men when Ralph Rackstraw, a commoner, falls madly in love with Josephine, the daughter of Captain Corcoran and the betrothed of Captain Porter. Meanwhile Captain Corcoran falls in love with Buttercup, a favorite of the ship ' s crew. In the end, however, every- thing turns out perfectly, when it is disclosed that the Captain is really Ralph, and that Ralph is the Captain; thereby making it possible for Ralph to marry Josephine and for the Captain to marry Buttercup. Captain Porter wisely finds happiness with his cousin Hebe. This page is sponsored by the IDEAL SHOE STORE ROW 1 SEATED - - Suzy Cunfher, David Guthrie, Inez Hostettler, Bob Lee, Mrs. Chandler.

All skills learned here may be used as a livelihood later. Technical Skills MECHANICAL DRAWING Roger Kopp finishes a drawing under Mr. Luse ' s direction. Any boy interested in engineering, ma- chine shop, drafting, designing, archi- tecture, or blue print reading would be wise to take mechanical drawing in high school. Pattern making and Foundry were put into our school at the request of the in- dustries of Bedford. This course gives experience in the construction of wood patterns, the building of sand molds and the making of castings — all of them skills that can be used in local industry.

We Win A Game Here we see the Cutter gridmen warming up for the opening of the Mitchell game. Apparently no signals have been called, for the session seems to have turned into an every man for himself affair. It looks pretty strenuous, but the boys survived. A Great Sport Bob Butterfield dives and plunges for a 6 point lead early in the game. FINE LEADERS MAKE A GREAT SPORT TEAM CAPTAIN Each year the members of the football squad elect the player with the best qua!ifications to guide them through the season. George Gilbert was the team ' s selection for captain this year. George ' s position was at the center of the Cutter forward wall. Thanks, George, for inspiring leadership. M.V.P. The most outstanding, all around, member of the Cutter squad this past season was Robert Butterfield, halfback. Bob was not only outstanding offensively, (five T.D. ' s in one gamel but just as good defensive- ly. What a coach wouldn ' t give for eleven men like Butterfield! Thanks, Bob, for a job well done.

These three fellows lighten Coach Snyders job no end because their work is never finished until the end of the football season. They are indeed appreciated by the coaching staff, the team, and the spectators.

Jerry Switzer lumps as Jim Hague waits for the tip. JOE SECO Joe is a speedy little junior guard who is an excellent ball-handler and shot. He saw only limited action this year, but he ' ll be back fighting for a starting berth for the 1955-56 sea- son. BOB MOTSINCER Another junior boy up from last year ' s second team. He helped provide the Cutters with reserve strength, especially during the Sectional. Bob ' s eye for the basket will be a great asset to next year ' s squad. GEORGE GILBERT George came along fast toward the end of the season. His constant hustle and fight often gave the Holmes crew a shot in the arm. Goldie leaves B. H. S. via the graduation route. We ' ll miss him. ROGER KOPP Speed , playing his first full season on the varsity, did a nice job. Climaxing with a 28 point performance against Martinsville, he came in second in total scoring. Rog is a junior and we certainly hope that he reaches the 6 foot mark by next year. KEITH GREATHOUSE Playing the last of three years of varsity basketball, Keith served as floor-general and sparked the Cutters with his fine defensive play and hustle. In recognition of this he was named most valuable player, therefore his loss creates a position that will certainly be hard to fill. Varsity This page is sponsored by CROWDER ' S DRUG STORE BOB HERR Better known as Suede, Bob was the biggest and one of the hardest working players on the squad. Although not a high scorer Bob certainly deserves a lot of praise. He is a senior and his spirit and rebounding will definitely be missed by the Cutters next season. JIM HAGUE Another senior ball-player, Jim has played two fine years of basketball for the Bedford Stonecutters. He ranked third in scoring this year, and his defensive play was strong. Coach Holmes certainly would like to have Jim around again next year. DON ALBIETZ Don is a junior and was high scorer during rejular season play with 200 points to his credit. He is a hard worker and rebounder. We are looking forward to bigger and better things from Don next year. JERRY SWITZER One of the most improved ball-players on the Cutter squad, he ofttimes provided that needed rebound on tip-in. Jerry is only a junior and next winter should cause his oppo- nents plenty of trouble. JERRY REYNOLDS Jerry, a junior, was one of the best shots on the 1954-55 ball-club. He was always depend- able and therefore was used both as a reserve and a regular. He should be a mainstay on the Cutter crew next season.

Class Will It was a dark and stormy night. The wind whooped and howled around the Bedford high school build- ing, and Mr. McFadden shivered in his chilly office. Suddenly the door burst open and a group of juniors rushed into the principal ' s sanctum. Mr. McFadden , they shouted, then in lower tone, Mr. McFadden , one begged, please, please, read us the will. Gravely Mr. McFadden peered over his glasses at the intruders. Seeing their earnest faces and heed- ing their pleading voices he slowly reached down into his holy of holies ' the third drawer on the left side of his desk) pulled out a dog-eared manuscript, opened it, and in grave tones, read: We, the seniors of Bedford High School, now passed to our reward, do hereby give and bequeath to our beloved underclassmen the following unlim- ited gifts and talents.

A Class With A Future Miss Brooks and Mr. Hague, having safely delivered B. H. S. seniors to High School Day at Purdue, found themselves with some free time. After visiting several of the university establishments, they found the way to the Science Building where experiments had recently been conducted with a mechanical brain which could foretell the future. Curious to find out what would become of the class of ' 55, Miss Brooks wrote the names of all seniors on small pieces of paper while Mr. Hague adjusted the con- trols of the ' brain ' for a forecast of 15 years — the year 1970. The following predictions are those of the mechani- cal brain and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Mr. Hague, Miss Brooks, or the yearbook staff . . . Big Ed Maick is now the sole owner of General Motors and Lockheed Aircraft. Since Ed spends most of his time in the plants, the office work is handled by his personal secretaries Pat Watson, Wilma Umphress, and Jean Hardman.

These teachers are employed at Thomas Erdmann ' s School for Young Presidents.

The product: 5 High speed mud flaps for noon hour drivers. Mike Murray is one of the most famous test drivers known today. He may be seen in action any day during the week at the Leonard ' s Drive-In Race Track. Bob Herr and David Adams were the winners of the Nobel prize this year for the discovery of a cure for the common cold . . . arsenic.

Another classmate. Keith Greathouse, was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Peggy Brown, Barbara Sons, and Jackie Sexton just returned from a trip around the world by bicycle. Steve Buck and Joe Finn, the most noted geologists of the century, recently discovered evidence which definitely traces man back to the parakeet.

Bruce promises higher wages and more singing telegrams. And What A Future! Gerry Allen was elected president of the Bedford Housewives Club. Other officers for the present year are Jo Roberts, vice-president; Faye Butler, secretary; and Elaine McCallum, treasurer.

Glenna Beavers, now in Africa, informed Harold Inman and Don Ingle that they would probably do well in establishing an African branch of their air- conditioning company. Bob Clifton coached the college all-stars for the third consecutive time this year. During the sum- mer months Bob sells insurance for Mary Jane Hob- son ' s Insurance Company. Also employed by Mary Jane are Ernestine Cochran, Sharon Byers, Nancy Sheeks, Delores Shaffer, and Dorothy Turpen. Joyce Johnson and Donna Mitchell now have their own television show. Recently they interviewed Darrell Chastain, one of the leading draftsmen in the country; Stanley Glenn, one of our leading min- isters; and Ronnie Hall, an outstanding 500 mile race driver. After all the names had been run through the me- chanical brain separately Mr. Hague thought it a good idea to submit all the names at once to see if the general outlook would be favorable or unfavor- able.

The seniors suddenly realize that it ' s for the last time. This year we have a new principal, who, we know will give us a wonderful year. September 10 — Tonight our first football game with Martinsville. It really gave us some school spirit. We didn ' t win, but neither did they. It was a tie! September 14 — The Tri-Hi-Y Club gave a get-ac- quainted party at the Wilson Park Community House after school today. Everyone had a good time. September 16 — The first convocation of the year was held today. Mrs. Eastman told us of her exper- iences as a school teacher under Communist rule. It was really interesting.
