Many beneficial changes made about the school are due to the untiring effort of the members of the Board who give freely of their time and energy. To them falls the task of watching over the finances of the school. Dr. R. D. Grissinger has presided over their meetings for several years. Long strides toward a better school are continually being made through the untiring efforts of this body. They have added more adequate facilities, provided for new and up-to-date departments, and hired addi- tional instructors. Each student may feel a deep ap- preciation for the benefits derived from the activities of our School Board. E. K. ROBB, D. Ed. Our supervising principal, Dr. E. K. Robb, has been in Bedford High School for thirteen years. During this time our Alma Mater has steadily climbed the ladder of success. Dr. Robb has been a determining factor in this climb, forever spurring us on to bigger and higher ideals. His day is entirely filled with senior interviews, grade- school and classroom visits, educational conferences, faculty meetings and helping some newcomer to select his course. He is the man with whom all plans of new enterprises are discussed. To him lies the task of making the final decisions. Dr. Robb can truthfully be called the cog around which the wheel of progress spins. OFFICE ADMI ISTRA T10 C. D. SPROUL MARY MORSE D. G. BEHRERS fi W .ff-f Suv, gg CHARLES D. SPROUL Charles D.

Election of class officers was a diflicult as well as an important procedure, for controlling such a lively gang was not easy. Rae Miller, Lance Knight, Anna Heming and Don Hoagland were the victorious candidates. Time passed quickly and the verdant freshmen were soon to be gay young sophomores.

SCOUT CLUB A number of boys interested in scouting desired to form a club where they could study the principles of scouting. In order to do this they needed a sponsor. They sought Mr. Behrers, who willingly consented to serve in this capacity. Thus the scouting club was born. The club, divided into three patrols of seven members, each with its own leader, is directed by Robert Sibble, an Eagle Scout. The boys are learning the proper ways to signal and send messages by the use of flags, mirrors, or smoke, to cook in the forest without utensilsg to start a Ere without matchesg to tie useful knotsg to administer first aid, and many other essential rudiments of scouting. 44 ggrswwerv FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Row one: james Trail, joseph Im- grund.

They make their own coils and wind them. Condensers and other parts are secured from old radios. The com- pleted receivers are then examined and tested. CHORUS Every morning at the beginning of the second period, seventy boys and girls can be seen rushing to the stage. It's practice time for the high school chorus. After getting acquainted with each other and the new director, Miss Naomi Thompson, the chorus members elected the following officers: President, Don David- song Vice President, Louise Stroupg Librarians, Ruth Petrea and Kathryn Hill. Selections were chosen ranging from hymns to folk songs. Several numbers are sung a cappella. The group journeyed to Cumberland and sang for an as- sembly at Alleghany High School. THE F.F.A. BAND In the early part of October the future farmer boys desired some recreation along with their work. Mr. Phillips with the assistance of Mr. Hunsicker and the boys located many used and new horns. The horns were bought with the proceeds of the food stand at home football games. After three weeks of individual lessons, group re- hearsals were scheduled for every Monday and Wed- nesday noons. 51 LFMOCUWW: CHORUS Pres.-Donald Davidson V.

HI-LITES STAFF Instead of publishing a school paper, this year's journalism class wrote a semi-monthly page for the Bedford Gazette. Under the guidance of the new instructor, Miss Barbara Turner, the large class made swift progress in learning the fundamentals of journalism and in develop- ing a journalistic style. To publish the page, the class elected Margaret Robinson, editor-in-chiefg Harriet jean Clapper, asso- ciate editorg Betty Rose, news editor, Frank Hughes, sports editorg and Philip Claar, feature editor. These various department heads are assisted by quick-witted reporters of the journalism class who have a nose for news, that is, they can see that when a man bites a dog,', it's news! 53 ECHO Editor-in-Chiefw Harriet Jean Clapper Assistant Editor Petty Rose Business Manager Pkilip Claar HI-LITES-STAFF Assistant Editorff Harriet Clapper News Editor-Betty Rose Sports Editor-Frank Hughes Feature Editor-Philip Claar DRAMATICS Anl audience doesn't cramp Joe's I t I s y e.

To create an interest in the work, a play was presented in assembly entitled A Sisterly Scheme. The cast of this play consisted of Jeanne Claycomb, Joe Clark, Betty MacDonald, Eunice Mae Simes. Geraldine Bucklew, and Teddy Arnold with Bettie Hafer helping with the stage properties. At the beginning of the year oliicers were elected as follows: President, Jeanne Claycombg Vice-president, Bettie Haferg Secretary-treasurer, Geraldine Bucklewg with Miss Barbara Turner as sponsor. JUNIOR THESPIANS CLUB The Junior Thespians are students from seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Miss Garbrick is the sponsor. Plays are given, but the special interest of the club is the presentation of single and group pantomimes. Stage make-up demonstrations have been given frequently. Club activities are planned by the Executive Com- mittee and the president, with the help of Miss Gar- brick. Puppet plays have been a new feature this year. These are given with puppets lent to the Junior Thes- pians by the W.P.A. If the members are interested in one or more of these activities, they get a lot of pleasure and profit from the club. 54 Characters of China Boy in a solemn pose. junior Thespians proudly display pup- pets.

Never before in the school history has the band received as many compliments on its splendid playing and snappy appearance. Our band is a truly beneficial organization, playing for assemblies, school plays and many other gatherings. One of its most im- portant contributions to the school, however, is the great enthusiasm it offers the students by its appear- ance at the football games, led by peppy drum major- ettes, urging the team on to victory. ORCHESTRA In 1938, the violin class that had been under Miss Garbrick's able leadership emerged into a full-fledged orchestra directed by Mr. Hunsicker. This group is now playing difficult music and contributing much to the atmosphere of the school. It has presented several concerts in accord with the other music departments, has played for the Tuesday and Thursday assemblies, and for several class plays, as well as the annual operetta. The orchestra should be given much credit for the ser- vices it has rendered the school and for its ever-increas- ing progress. DANCE BAND Many students of Bedford High School suggested having a dance band, so with this in mind Mr. Hun- sicker organized a few musical students, putting the group on a club basis. Within a few weeks the band was playing for a swing session sponsored by the sophomores, then the juniors and Hnally for the St. Patrick's Day Dance sponsored by the Yearbook Club. To start the ball rolling each member was asked to purchase one dance tune. There are now eighteen members and the band's popularity is rapidly increasing. They have been asked to play for a Somerset dance and the Hynd- man Prom. 57 OFFICERS: BAND Pres.-Donald Oliver Sec.-Trees.--jim Russell OFFICERS: ORCHESTRA Pres.fEmmert Feather Sec.-Treas.-Peggy Ott Bus Manager-Robert Stroup OFFICERS: DANCEBAND Pi-es.Ajim Russell Sec.ABetty Manspeaker Bus.

The meetings are carried on with the usual business procedure in which the motto, Every girl is the archi- tect of her own future, and the creed is recited in unison. Each girl has to meet certain requirements and have a definite number of points before she can receive her merits. She must have achieved 200 points by the end of the year to receive a pin. CRAFT CLUB Crafty is the name for those members of the Craft Club. Have you seen any of the belts, book ends, skull caps, napkin rings, and many other articles which they have made? The aim of this club is to show how Crafty one can be. Its members have displayed great interest, talent, and put forth much effort in making the club a huge success. The present slowly becomes the past and is forgotten, but the work accomplished lives on. The club, organized under the willing supervision of Mr. Sproul elected the following ofiicers: President, Zane Kauffmang Vice-President, Gerald Diehlg Secretary, Patty Hughes, and Treasurer, Peggy Kund. BRASS ENSEMBLE The brass ensemble, organized for students playing brass instruments and wishing to further their know- ledge in smaller groups, such as duets, trios, etc. is part of the club program. To be eligible for this club the student must have at least two years, experience on his instrument. The ensemble made its first appearance during the Christmas season, playing for assembly and the Christ- mas concert. Their biggest affair took place on Christ- mas eve, playing carols at the Lutheran Church and also the Reformed Church, from which the group journeyed through Bedford on foot, playing carols. 58 HOBBY CLUB Row one: Kathryn Drenning, Helen Miller, Margaret Gardner, Dorothy Wambaugh, Lois Koontz, Betty Morris, Arlene Eason.

THE HOBBY CLUB The Hobby Club, with a membership of thirty-one, is one of the most interesting clubs in Bedford High School. Hobbies are both collective and creative. At meetings the different hobbies of the members are dis- cussed. One feature which makes the meetings parti- cularly interesting is roll-call time. Each member an- swers with a riddle or a joke. This diversion creates fun and interest. A committee, appointed by the presi- dent, Rae Miller, plans each club meeting. The most interesting hobbies in the club are leather work, collecting stamps, weaving, knitting, collecting buttons, post cards, samples, matchiiaps, and auto- graphs. THE COMMERCIAL CLUB A glance at the nails, a pat to the hair, a straightening of the skirt-we're off to Commercial Club. All this takes place on Tuesday morning when we would-be secretaries hurry to our newly organized club. Members of the Commercial Club, guided by Miss Bowman, strive to acquaint themselves with, and to develop the characteristics of a well groomed and efficient oliice girl by informal discussions and demon- strations. Other activities are artistic typewriting, trips to offices, and several social events throughout the year. Officers are: President, Margaret Judy, Vice-Presi- dent, Dorothy Stern, Secretary, Vonnie Growdeng Treasurer, Evelyn Oster. TWIRLING CLUB The drum major and majorettes of the band were asked by members of the faculty to organize a twirling club for the purpose of teaching younger girls the art of twirling. The girls enthusiastically complied in order that B.H.S. might have a larger group of major- ettes to lead her band in future years. Twenty-six girls were interested and joined the group for training. Every Tuesday finds them diligently prac- ticing for the day when they will strut in front of the band. Marching as well as twirling has been taught. Great progress is being made in both activities as will be shown in the spring exhibition. 61 Of6cers: Hobby Pres. Rae Miller V. Pres. Gladys Hale Sec.

Well, the future sculptors, artists, and carpenters not only carve heads of Wash- ington and Lincoln but statues of Hercules, The Discus Thrower, horses, dogs, and other animals from soap and clay. They also design, build, paint, and model houses on every type of architecture as Romanesque, Moorish, Gothic, Colonial, and old English. Miss Mary Donahoe, the capable adviser of the club, sees a future in every member and doesn't care for any oitering in getting there. YEARBOOK CLUB The Yearbook Club was established for the purpose of learning the building of a yearbook and the problems involved in its construction. The club has about thirty members representing both the Junior and Senior High Schools. These members have lent great moral support to the Yearbook Staff. Among the achievements to their credit is the very successful St. Patrick's Day Dance. 1941 marks the first year of the club's existence. In the years to come it looks forward to being an important factor in the Echo production. Its ambitious aim is to build a yearbook library containing past annuals along with those of high schools throughout the United States TI-IE JUNIOR HIGH CHORUS The Junior High Chorus, under the direction of Miss Thompson, is composed of forty girls from the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. They are divided into three sections, iirst soprano, second soprano, and alto. The pianist is Janet Mollenaur. The chorus has learned two numbers, The Carol of the Russian Children and Evening Prayer as sung over Ford Sunday Evening Hour. The purposes of this club are to learn to sing three- part harmony, to teach the girls to appreciate music, and to learn expression in singing. Rehearsals are held each Thursday for thirty-tive minutes. The chorus makes several public appearances each year. 62 MODEL MAKERS ROW one: Jack Bowser, Leo Bet- miller, Harold Hafer, Betty Ziegler.

GRIDIRON SEASON Coach Hubicsak's green Bison herd, consisting of approximately forty boys, opened their 1940 grid season Friday night, September 14, defeating Hynd- man 31-0 on the home field with the entire blue and white squad showing its mettle. Journeying to Tyrone the following Friday night, the plucky squad fell before the state champion, Tyrone High School, 46-0 for the season's first loss. The Bisons, however, got revenge from the preceding weekls setback when they met Somerset September 28, scoring the only touchdown of the game in the third quarter. Since the try for an extra point failed, the final score remained 6-0. The next week a newcomer appeared on the Bison schedule and proved to be tough opposition when Captain Hughes' hard-fighting warriors held a 7-0 lead in the closing seconds of the game with the Bellwood- Antis eleven on the Bedford six-inch line and three downs to go. Thursday night, October 10, Bedford played host to Roaring Spring High School. Many scoring threats occurred during the course of the game but neither team could score, resulting in a 0-0 deadlock. A week later the Bisons suffered their second severe setback at the hands of the Huntingdon Bearcats 38-0. This was the sixth consecutive weekly night game. After two weeks of recuperating from the Huntingdon defeat, the squad went to Altoona where after holding the Mountain Lions to a 13-0 score at the half, the Bed- ford gridmen weakened under the strength of the Altoona team which was backed by many fine reserves. The final score, 39-0, was the last Bison defeat. Practicing strenuously for two weeks, B.H.S. then played host to another strong Somerset county team, Myersdale, -for the final game of the season. Both teams battled bravely the entire game, but neither was able to score. At the final whistle the score stood 0-0. 66 ,, ,,,,.,g-Q. af .qw ,. john Baker, Captain Frank Hughes, George Inglis, Merle Diehl, Thomas Elliott, George Eshelman, Bill Kel- ler, Dick Yeager, Vincent Aveni, John SmignhvlxSteyyqrlWSliipley:A U IRO ME ACTIO . . . Stop that run, Bedford Catch that pass Nice blocking Only four lettermenfHughes, Keller, Baker, and Morgart-ee-returned to the blue and white squad this year. George Eshelman, although it was his first year of football, proved to have the qualities necessary for a good end as well as did Don Smith, who received a knee injury in the middle of the season which caused him to remain on the sidelines for the rest of the season. Smith's position was filled by Bill Atkins, who was a worthy substitute, and by Jack Harris who received special acknowledgment in the Altoona game. Tackle positions were filled by the team's able captain, Frank Hughes, who received the honor of being the only player to participate in every quarter, while Bill Keller, also in tackle position, turned out to be a good defen- sive as well as offensive lineman. John Baker and Stewart Shipley held the guard po- sitions of the team and were vital factors in the success of this year's squad. Bill Carney was a most valuable and dependable substitute in their places. George Inglis was converted fro-m guard to center, a key position which he ably upheld throughout the sea- son. Sam Harris, his only substitute, looks forward to the center position next year. The quarterback position was filled by Dick Yeager who was an important cog in the working of the back- field. Raymond Morgart, a halfback, was noted for his end runs. Vincent Aveni, who received honorable mention on the all-state football eleven, was known for his out- standing kicking. Merle Diehl, although not a regular, was an excellent passer, and John Smith was famed for his blocking in the backlield. Tom Elliott, a good passer and kicker, upheld the fullback position and could also substitute in the line. 68 Strike up the bandl These are the men of iron Bedford kicks Stop that charge!

TBALL SEASO The Bison Cagers opened their 1941 basketball sea- son by overwhelming Claysburg 36-15. Aveni sparked the Bison offense with fifteen points. The next opponent on the Bison schedule was Stoyes- town which the Bedford Squad defeated by a 36-1 7 score. The Bedford Five then fell before a fast-moving Somerset Team 48-16. The Bedford Bison journeyed to Claysburg January 28, and returned home with a victorious score of 27-24. On February 7, Bedford was nosed out by Saxton with a heartrendering score of 25-24. Meeting Stoyestown for the second time, Bedford overpowered them by a score of 38-22. Captain Aveni and Frank Hughes paced the Blue and White Team with twelve points each. Again Bedford was defeated by Somerset. On February 20, the Bedford Squad traveled to Everett and after holding them to a 14-16 half score, fell before the District Champions 40-18. The Bisons came back into the victory column by de- feating Saxton 31-25. The Blue and White Cagers were again humbled by Everett in the last game of the season by a score of 32-14. With six lettermen returning next year, Coach Hubic- sak has hopes for a successful season. 70 SENIOR HIGH BASKETBALL B.H.S.

Sproul, the Tigers were the first basketball team in the history of the High School to win eight consecutive games, dropping the last game to Hollidaysburg, spoil- ing their hopes of an undefeated season. Captain Bill Keys, Tom Mundwiler, and Jack Dren- ning led the Junior High Quintet in their scoring at- tacks. Little Tuck Fisher was noted for his passing, while Sleeps Joe Harris and Ralph Plummer com- pleted the regulars. This was the first Bedford Junior High Team to ever defeat Roosevelt Junior High School of Altoona, win- ning by scores of 23-21 and 31-11. The Tigers twice overpowered Everett 27-26 and 30-18. The Bedford Blue and Gold Team triumphed twice over Broadtop by scores of 11-10 and 26-19. Somerset likewise was beaten 22-12. After defeating Holidaysburg 23-21 on the home floor, the Tigers journeyed to Hollidaysburg where they lost their only game of the season 28-15. WRESTL IN G TEAM This season found Coach Koontz's grapplers supply- ing plenty of stiff competition for their opponents and thrills in abundance for their fans. They completed the season with four victories and three losses, placing three men in the state eliminations. The old-timers made an enviable record. Charles Wilson, undefeated for two years, made his second trip to State College for state eliminations, but in vain. In '41 district eliminations, he pinned his opponent in fifty-one seconds. Captain Don Smith made the swiftest pin of the scheduled meets in one minute twelve seconds against Conemaugh. George Eshelman in his second year of wrestling made a splendid showing with live wins and two losses. Bill Faupel, twice letterman, proved his wrestling ability, passing the district eliminations to journey to State College. Losing in an extra period, Dent Claycomb was de- feated by a decision in the eliminations, but showed his colors winning four and losing three of his battles. The new-comers in the Held of wrestling this year were Bob Brown, Bernard Beemiller, Max Bucklew, Frank Clark, Stewart Shipley, Jack Stayer, and Bill Mowery. who in his first year of wrestling was District Five Champion in the unlimited class. 72 JR.
