School Life Looking back over the years spent in Bedford High School, we believe nothing in later life can dim the glamour of those glorious school days, especially our senior year. Can anyone forget the thrill of sheer joy, when our football heroes marched on the field? We knew them, everyone. They were ours, and we cheered them in defeat, as well as in victory. Never to be forgotten, was the Annual Fiesta. The contest for the Queen of the Fiesta beat even a political campaign. Stump speeches, selling votes, and torch light processions were quite the vogue. Then that thrilling moment when the lucky girl was crown¬ ed Queen, amid the ahs ' and the ohs ' of the admiring crowd. Ah! that was life to us.

Board Education The Hon. Charles W. Allen, President of the Bedford Board of Edu¬ cation has called the members to order and has declared the meeting open and ready for the conduct of all business that may properly come before this legislative and policy-determining body. The new school-year is about to officially open. Bedford ' s Board of Education consists of five members, the Honorable Charles W. Allen, Dr. R. D. Grissinger, Mrs. Martha Heckerman, J. R Blackburn, and Dr. Harry Shimer, meets for the first time in order that it may lay plans for the training of the youth of Bedford. A visit at a meeting of the Board of Education probably would prove interesting to anyone. With the recording of names of the directors pre¬ sent, the minutes of the preceding meeting read and approved, and any unfinished business attended to, the standing committees are ready to make their reports. There are usually financial affairs to be considered. During the past several years, new plant construction and equipment has called for the expenditure of considerable sums of money. The Junior High School wing, the auditorium-gymnasium combination and the furnishings therein, all involved problems of a financial nature. It would appear that finance has been a major problem confronting Boards of Education as well as individuals, during the depression years. In the operation of a school system the size of this one, bills are certain to have a prominent place at every Board meeting. Perhaps at this meeting, the members are listening to the treasurer ' s report, the tax collector’s, and the supervising-prin¬ cipal ' s statement. Why! The meeting is almost over! But wait, nothing has been said about new business. What a busy evening! With this glance into a regular meeting, we leave this group which has given time and service to the youth of Bedford. ADM E. K. Robb Supervising Principal Where re you going, sister? those never-to-be forgotten words are Mr. Robb ' s favorite inquiry.
