Would he get a chance to show what he could do in action? Would he be a sailor or a soldier?

Every youth should form, at the outset of his ca- reer, the solemn purpose to make the most and the best of the powers which God has given him, and to turn to the best possible account every outward ad- vantage within his reach. This purpose must carry with it the assent of the reason, the approval of the con- science, the sober judgment of the intellect. lt should then embody within itself whatever is vehement in desire, inspiring in hope, thrilling in enthusiasm and intense in desperate resolve. Such a plan of life will save him from many a damaging contest with tempta- tion. It will regulate his sports and recreations. lt will go with him by day to trample under foot the al- lurements of pleasure. lt will hold his eyes waking as he toils by the evening lamp. lt will watch over his slumbers to iog him at the appointed hour, and sum- mon him to the cheerful duties of his chosen pursuit. Those who labor and study under the inspiration of such a purpose, will soon soar out of sight of those who barely allow themselves to be carried along by the momentum of the machinery to which they are attached. Many pass through life without even a conscious- ness of where they are, and what they are doing. They gaze on whatever lies directly before them, in fond amusement lost. Human life is a watchtower. lt is the clear purpose of God that everyone-the CLASS AETI ITIES young especially-should take their stand on this tower. Look, listen, learn, whereyou go, wherever you tarry. Something is always transpiring to reward your attention. Let your eyes and ears he always open, and you will often observe, in the slightest incidents, ma- terials of advantage and means of personal improve- ment. Rely not upon others, but let there be in your own bosom a calm, deep, decided, and all-pervading principle. Look first, midst, and last to God to aid you in the great task before you, and then plant your foot on the right. Let others live as they please- tainted by low tastes, debasing passions, a moral putrefaction. Be you the salt of the earth, incorrupt IUNIOR CLASS OFFICEHS LEFT-MARY CESSNA, Secretary MIDDLE-BILL THOMAS, Treasurer RIGHT-CLARENCE DIEHL, President ' in your deeds, in your inmost thoughts and feelings. Nay ay -ang' ,1- more, incorruptible, like virtue itself, your manners blame- less, your views of duty, not narrow, false, and destructive, but a saver of life to all around you. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with the salt of truth, honor, manliness, and benevolence. Wait not for the lash of guilt to scourge you to the path of God and heaven. Be of the prudent who foresee the evil and hide from it, and not of the simple, who pass on and are punished. Life, to youth, is a fairy tale iust opened, to old age, a tale read through, ending in death. Be wise in time, that you may be happy in eternity.

THIJSIZ WHU M INTAIN Below we see our two ianitors, Messrs. George Schetrompf and John Banner, who have been with us for two decades and are loved by students and faculty alike. These men, each with a large building to look after, keep the interest of the students uppermost in mind. Each of these men has more work than one man ought to do, but we never hear them complain. On this and the opposite page we see pictures of the many buses used to transport the three hundred and eight students from the many surrounding Groncr: SCHETROMPF Iomr BANNER - 34 - 'Wil AND THANSPUHT US townships and districts. Eight large buses and one car is used for this purpose. Here we see the time-tested drivers, all of whom are proud of their long service and no accident record. These men have the well being of each student at heart and take pride in seeing to it that each boy and girl is delivered each morning, safely and on time, at the high school, and each evening returned to their homes. Fat Wertz holds the distinction of being the largest cmd heaviest school bus driver in the state. -.WH -35. gr , ,,.,.. -744 TO CLASSES MM M PARADE GHUUN S Wczi ti T1 giorcz victim lf K .0 Q.. -..- A sure sign oi spring! 05' as are ao be -.No 605 X49 ,fizgfv QPOXQ 469 -49 -0 THESE BEE axes obo' 'Q x ,049 oo 5,5 EDU .27 W1 ...!

They succeed well in their curricular subiects which have been well planned by an able administration and are scientifically taught by expert instructors. The students in general take a keen interest in maintaining the high scholas- tic standards which the instructors have long since insisted upon. ln their spare moments, the boys and girls are always willing to assist with extra-curricular work around the school. On the opposite page we see a lad and Iassie assisting in the con- structing of a large Honor Roll Board upon which the name of each former student, now in the armed forces, will appear. The Junior High students, usually those in the seventh and eighth grades, are the champion ticket sellers for all school events, but after duties are performed, one can often see small groups engaged in other activities, such as shooting marbles as we see on the opposite page, or playing shuffle board or mush ball as we see to the right. The library is a haven for many students. i Peggy and Rita do their part to entertain the lonely sailors. Instructor Snyder and Student Tice Our girls are skillful at mushball. .- ,.

THE 4. . . SHUP There are 570 students in our high school, this number is almost equally divided between the sexes, there being 282 boys, and 288 girls. More than half of this number-or to be specific-308 boys and girls come to us from outside the borough of Bedford. These students come to us by means of modern buses. There are 322 students enrolled in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. Of this number, 78 are enrolled in the Academic course, the successful completion of which will qualify them to enter any college in the coun- try. There are 92 enrolled in the General course the successful completion of which will guarantee them a well-rounded supply of in- formation, but does not necessarily qualify them for college entrance. There are 45 en- rolled in the Commercial course which will fit them for stenographic, bookkeeping, or other business positions. The Vocational Home Eco- nomics course has an enrollment of 55 girls, these girls are learning every detail of good home-making, this is one of the most highly practical courses in the curriculum. There are 52 boys enrolled in the Vocational Agricultural course. The introduction of this course, more than a decade ago, has been worth untold thousands of dollars to our farming community, as reflected in better and better scientific methods of dairying, the planting and har- vesting of crops, and the feeding and market- ing of poultry and animals. Some of the most important phases of this course, as well as the most interesting to those enrolled, are the units centered around shop practices. Here the boys learn such skills as the repair of electric motors and many other household electrical devices. They become skilled in the use of much machinery. The top picture on this page shows a typical oper- ation in this department. Here a boy is turning out on a lathe, a new leg for a table, to re- place one that has been broken. The middle picture shows boys constructing some really fine furniture for the home. ln the lower pic- ture, a lad is demonstrating his skill in the use of the iig saw. Vocational Agricultural stu- dents learn to repair farm machinery for victory. ll T PUB ICT HY Whether it be the repairing of machinery, the planting or harvesting of grain, the sci- entific feeding of fowls, ani! mals, or what not-the boys in this course are eternally searching for more knowledge. Here they are receiving in- struction in the fine points ol judging fowls and horses. PHH BETTER HlllVlE!i The Vocational Home Economics course of- fers to our girl students the utmost in practical training. The top picture is one corner of the sewing room and here many girls become highly skilled in the use of sewing machines. This room is equipped with both power and tread machines so that the girls may have ex- perience in using both types. The center picture is a portion of the kindergarten room where the girls gain experience in the care and train- ing of small children. At the bottom of the page is a fitting table with girls putting the finishing touches to new garments. SI E55 AS U5 ln the Commercial Department, both boys and girls are given the opportunity to prepare for responsible positions in this and other com- munities. Many graduates from this department are now employed in various branches of the Federal government. Here the student learns not only the skills of shorthand, typewriting, and bookkeeping, but also the care and repair ot all office machines. This is another highly practical department of our school.
