The students of Bedford High School had not attempted to publish a school paper until the year 1918. In that year, through the efforts of Blaine Guthrie, editor-in-chief, and George Armstrong, assistant editor, The Stone City Student, a semi-monthly publication came into existence. Mr. Merle J. Abbett, then the High school principal was the faculty advisor. In 1925 a change in faculty advisors gave Miss Imogene Chase full charge of the publication. A journalism class was estab- lished by Miss Chase and a great part of their work was given over to the editing of The Student. The Student took first prize in the state contests held in 1925, '26, '27, '29, and '55 under the advisorship of Miss Chase. The purpose of the paper is, as it always was, to reflect the spirit of the school both in academic work and the numerous activities of students and teachers. The editors of the Student who are remembered through the years for their accomplishments are Blaine Guthrie '18, Arthur Hughes '19, LaVerne Ramage '20, Willian McFadden '21, Paul Cook '22, Mary Elizabeth Plummer '25, King Trainor and Ralph Sappenfield '24, Betty Cook '25, Loren Hanner '26, Artemus Blackwell '27, Ruth Pitman '28, Fred Cuddy '29, Robert Ringold and Ruth Dinah Black '50, Har- riet Jenkins '51, Class '52, Frank May '55, Margaret McClelan '54, Fred Hutton '55, Geraldine Shaver '56, John David Bailey '57, Eddie Butler '58, Eva Davis '59, Tom Meglemre '40, Rebecca Harris '41, Patty Kibler and Margaret Davis '42, jane Marshall '45, Mary A.

Eileen Sul- livan, William Allen ln the fall of 1957 Bedford High School students studied their first assignments by slide projector. It was not until 1958 that a movie projector was secured through the funds of the high school. During l945 students of Bedford High had a chance to learn the mechanism of the machine. Mrs. Margaret Schroedle was supervisor of this instruction, and soon afterward the students were permitted to show films in class. Miss Ruby Byerley is the present supervisor of the projectionists. B.H.S, students are fortunate in having access to a fine film program. An average of 500 films is shown each year to history, typing, home economics, and science classes. Library assistants came into being when the library was established. Mrs. Margaret Schroedle was the first librarian. Duties of the student assistants are to keep the books in first class condition, put them in place after use, and help other students find reference work. Assistants do all of the circulation work, and much of the processing of new books-stamping books with the school library stamp, pasting in book pockets and date-due labels, and shellacing new books.
