We love to visit Miss Dona- hoe’s art classes, and how they improve as time passes. hoe to her art class. Miss Bell drills her Freshman classes in “sum, esse, fui,” de- clention of nouns and conjugation of verbs. She also instructs in Caesar, Vir¬ gil, and Cicero. Mr. Koontz may be heard any day ex¬ plaining the telephone to his general sci¬ ence classes, or attempting to have his community civics class tell him how the community may aid in t he health of the individual. “What is raised in a tropical climate?” Miss Harned asks in her geography classes. In the violin class Miss Gar- brick informs John that his instrument is out of tune; and in her sophomore Eng¬ lish class she tells John it is not best to end a sentence with a preposition. Miss Koontz instructs the boys and girls in vocal music. Miss Morse attempts to keep the students in good health and ren¬ ders assistance when they become sick or injured. Mr. Hubicsak instructs in prob¬ lems of health and physical education; he is also the best athletic coach in seven states! We wonder if Bob did have a sore finqer, oi if he likes the atmosphere of the murse ' 6 clean sunny room. Learning the art of cookery is a pleasure in this ideal kit¬ chen. Page Fifteen

S O N A L I T I E S PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE... We are seniors and this is our motto, “We Finish to Begin.” We have finished our high school course, and we are now prepared to begin our citizenship in the world. This is our Commence¬ ment in the true sense of the word. The Bedford High School has done its part. Now it is up to us to make use of what we have learned under the direction of our teachers. As we graduate, it becomes our duty to fill useful places in the world. We will be farmers; we will be professional men and women; we will be business men and women; we will enter many varied fields of work. To make successes of our chosen careers we must mix brains with elbow grease. But, it is perfectly pos¬ sible to concentrate so narrowly on training ourselves to get ahead that we forget all about the kind of world in which we are going to live. The world that we confront contains scores of problems which we should solve. They are social problems, and they re¬ quire group co-operation. Each one of us should take an unselfish interest in this world and in the welfare of his fellowmen. As citizens we must be informed upon public questions so that we can vote intelligently and wisely and share the responsi¬ bility of our government. Crime, war, government—all of these things are realities. They represent just a few of the trials that are in store for us. We want to overcome these trials. And as we, the class of 1936, are earnestly striving to per¬ form our tasks in life as best we can, and as we are working for the betterment of conditions in the world, may we at times look back with pleasure to the good old days spent in Bedford High School.
