SPROUL After graduating from Hyndman High School and teaching in a one-room school near his home, Mr. Sproul chose to continue study at Juniata College. Upon earning his degree he began teaching Biology in Hyndman. Continuing his graduate work at Pennsylvania State College, he earned his Master of Arts degree. ln the fall of i933 Mr. Sproul came to Bedford to teach Mathematics and to coach Junior High Basketball. Gradually, he worked his way up to the position of Assistant Supervising Principal. ln August of i948 he was elected to be Supervising Principal of Bedford Public Schools. On occasions you may see our principal surveying the class room teaching and observing the efficiency of the school sys- tem. ln addition, Mr. Sproul must approve the daily programs for all the district schools and the instructional program for each report period. ln spite of all his duties, Mr. Sproul always has a pleasant word and a smile for all, whether he is supervising work or con- versing with his students. l7l l l --I1 que..- ,J ASSISTANT SU PERVISING PRINCIPAL ARTHUR V. TOVVNSEND Our assistant Supervising Prin- cipal, Mr. Townsend, is perhaps the busiest man in our school. On his shoulders tall the respon- sibilities ot business as usual plus the many other tasks which he feels can be most quickly and efficiently done by giving them his personal attention. Mr. Town- send serves as faculty manager of athletics, advisor to the Stu- dent Council and other student organizations, and treasurer for all school organizations. No matter how busy he might be, Mr. Townsend finds time to listen to the problems of faculty members and students, and in et- fect has gained a reputation of being a solver of problems . ATTENDANCE DIRECTOR DAVID G. BEHRERS Perhaps the most talked to man in our administration is Mr. David Behrers. E v e r y school morning he can be seen standing behind the desk listening patient- ly to the reasons of students for b e i n g absent. In addition to checking excuses, Mr. Behrers c h e c k s over each teacher's monthly attendance record, Stu- dents passing room IOS can look in and see Mr. Behrers serving in another capacity, that of being a teacher. He presides over sec- tions of seventh and eighth grade arithmetic. Mr. Behrers has been an instructor in our school for many years and commands much respect from the student body. SECRETARY BARBARA NEVITT Barbara Nevitt, a vivacious hazel-eyed brunette of the Class ot '49, has served as one of our secretaries for four years. As Mr. Sproul's secretary, Barb has many duties including the preparing ot requisition sheets, ordering for the jointure, and making forms and schedules, as well as caring for Mr. Sproul's personal correspondence. Another ot her many duties is the count- ing ot the money received from various collections in the home- rooms. The general operation ot the office is in the hands of our secretaries. ln her spare time, our gracious receptionist enjoys knitting, selling tickets at the theater and cooking. SECRETARY JOSEPHINE YAUKEY Josephine Yaukey, a blond, blue-eyed new-comer to our ottice this year, is a graduate of the Class of '5l. This pleasant recep- tionist assists Mr. Behrers every morning with the attendance and then types the absentee list. As Mr. Townsend's secretary, .lo- sephine takes dictation as well as typing it and also typing copy- work. Both of our able secre- taries run the ditto machine and type stencils to run onthe mimeo- graph machine. Working side by side our receptionists have pre- pared the new permanent record system for the jointure. ln her spare time Josephine enjoys skat- ing, reading or listening to the radio. MISS MARY MORSE SCHCOL NURSE For the past several years, the general health of our students has been diligently guarded by our school nurse, Miss Mary Morse. Each year she schedules half of our students for dental and physical examina- tions, administers audiometric tests to all students in the grades as well as in the high school. Her work is much heavier this year because she must administer in certain other schools of our new jointure. No position in our school system is more essential to our welfaretthan the one held by Miss Morse. YF Q1 W- Benjamin Franklin been with B. H. S. since the fall of 1942.

U41 1-.N I:-'YJ xsw Ll T:,,' W-3' Food is not only an essential need of life, but also a de- lightful repost when prepared by our ef- ficient cooks, some of whom are seen in this picture. As we go into the cafeteria from day to day, many students foil to appreciate t h e complexity of t h e work performed by these diligent ladies under the supervi- sion of Mrs. Olive Bankes. Surely their patience must be sorely tried by the cramped quarters in which they have to work while preparing the attractive and appetizing meals for the hungry students. May we always remember these beloved cooks as we look back on our pleasant meals at Bedford High School. ln the picture to the right, we see two more of our engineers, Mr. Ray- mond Harris, left, and Mr. Norman Miller. Every hour of the day, these men contribute much to making our sojourn in Bedford High a most pleas- ant experience, They seldom get a minute to sit down, but here our cam- era man caught them while they were taking on a little nourishment.. Our Engineering Staff consists of four highly skilled and efficient gentle-- men. The gentleman to the left is Mr. Luther Rose as he outlines the work for the day with one of his as- sistants, Mr. Cliff Weyant. Our high school could not be the clean and comfortable institution that it is with- out the eternal vigilance and arduous efforts of our engineers.

Four short years ago I entered the portals of Bedford High School as a Freshman. Here I became acquainted with high school and found that I enjoyed it more than any phase of my existence so far. In various fields, members of my class have been active, to say the least. They have stuck their inquisitive noses into almost everything and both the school and themselves have profited by their interest. During my Junior year, I presented my class play, Nothing But the Truth and during my Senior year Ramshackle lnn , which were sellout successes. Never, I think, did my charges have as much fun as at those re- hearsals. Soon after this I started work onthe Junior- Senior P h' h ' ' rom w ic gave my members the thrill of their own, their first real formal. As I remember it, it was beautiful! I My spirit is well represented in Bedford Hi h' Bl g s ue and White Band by twenty members Seven of these musicians also play with the Blue Jest-ers Then too I musn t forget the chorus. My spirit is'ever-prevalent there. I couldn't finish my memoirs without mentioning m bo s' th ' ' ' y y in e Sportlite . They did an excellent job, representing our school in wrestling, basketball and foot- ball. '54, '55 and '56, take heedl You can learn much from their experience. I was not the most angelic class in the school his to . iB hry ut who wants to be?I However we carried our s' are of the tasks and responsibilities' of high-school lite, and, as I have said, had a lot of fun doing it. I must say Adieu to my Alma Mater. I shall leave it in body, but it will live in my memory forever. A ' za'-' C357 f .g.-?f5f,fYf2??

Being a democratic school, B.H.S. na- turally has its own student representative or- ganization, the Student Council. The mem- bers of this Council are elected at the annual school elections. These representatives re- main on the council until they graduate. It by some chance a homeroom has no represen- tative, the adviser appoints someone to serve for the year. The main purpose of the council is to achieve a better relationship between the stu- dent and the faculty. The Council publishes our school handbook which is given to all the new students to help them become acquainted with our school. Another big undertaking is the supervision of our annual school elections. 47 The Council also sponsors several social events for the whole school. This year, with Lois Hammer as president, the council spon- sored a Pigskin Hop, a Christmas Formal, a square dance, a St. Patrick's Day Shindig and dances after all Friday night winter sports events. Last year at the Regional Student Coun- cil Convention our chapter was elected Presi- dent, and this year the Regional Convention was held in our school. The Council helps make our school a more efficient, progressive and democratic in- stitution. Besides helping in our present school lite, it will also train us to become bet- ter citizens in this great land ot ours for the world ot tomorrow! These four girls accompanied by Mr. Townsend, were our Student Council's repre- entotives at the State Council Convention in Forty-Fort last October. They left Bedford early one Thursday morning and arrived in Even though Mr. Townsend is a busy man, he always has time to sit down and talk with the officers of the Student Council about any problems or troubles that come up. tLeft to rightj Barbara Wertz, Beverly H u I l, J ea n n e King, Lois Hammer. Forty-Fort about the middle of the afternoon. The remainder of Thursday as well as Friday and Saturday were spent in meetings, swap- ping ideas and getting acquainted with one another. These delegates had a most delight- ful time and the trip was a success. LIBRARY ATTENDANTS It would be diffi- cult to estimate the true value of our Li- brary Attendants. lf the school were to pay for the services rendered by these in- dustrious girls, it would cost a tre- mendous amount of money. Some of these girls would, or at least could, get much better grades if they were to spend their study periods for study instead of run- ning errands for the library. USHERS CLUB The Ushers Club of Bedford High School plays a leading role in our weekly ac- tivities. Not only do the girls, ranging from sophomores to seniors, take and sell tickets at all of the sports events, but also they seat and pass out programs to those who attend our chorus, band and community concerts and the class plays. These girls deserve special recognition for doing a good job. LIBRARY ATTENDANTS TOP PICTURE-Row One: Donna Ann Boddy, Marlene Gerula Emily Moorehead, Joanne Kimmel, Nora Gordon, Wealthea M.

HI IITES STAFF Hl-LITES STAFF Fourteen rather busy students make up the group, under the direction of Mr. Radle, who have been responsible for the publication of our own Bedford High School news sheet. This year, the staff has been headed by Fred Heath as Ed- itor, whom we be- lieve has done a very commendable job in publishing a total of six issues. .IUNIOR HONOR SOCIETY Students from the eighth and ninth grades who are thought to have the basic qualities of scholarship, leader- ship, and character, and who have shown some willingness to render some service to our school, are chosen for member- ship in the National Junior Honor Soci- ety.

The high school yearbook is now being regarded by administrators as one of the most important projects in the school. This has resulted because of its very nature. The good yearbook of today is no longer sim- ply a compilation of a mass of memories, but is rather an accurate and reliable historical document. lt must be a true record of a year in the history of the school. Administrators as well as many others refer to the school year- book for authoritative information regarding students, courses of study, teaching proce- dures, curricular and extra-curricular activi- ties, and many, many other phases. There- fore, if a book is carelessly prepared it be- comes worthless and cannot possibly justify its cost. Any student who is selected for the yearbook staff should feel highly honored and should be willing to make sufficient sacrifice to do his job well, because his efforts are go- ing into something of a lasting and permanent nature. lt can well be that the work of his hands may be closely scanned and examined even a century hence.

The members are chosen by their qualities in scholarship, leadership, character, and service to the school. The eligible student's narre gets brought before a committee composed of fac- ulty members who elect members to this society. Five per cent of the membership of the Junior Class and ten percent of the Senior Class may be elected in the second semester of the year. OFFICE AIDES These nine Senior High girls are to be given much credit for the many duties which they per- form in assisting our supervisors and secretaries. These girls give of their time in doing daily jobs such as delivering absentee slips, separating the mail, recording pictures and running errands, This experience will be of extreme value in their future lives.

The Home Economics program in our high school is designed especially for girls who do not ex- pect to go to college, but it would be extremely profitable for every girl enrolled in our school. Yes, and we believe that any boy in our school would not be wasting his time to take this course, were he permitted to do so. The foundation of all society is the home, and what can any home be without a good homemaker? ln fact it is well known that a poor knowledge of good housekeeping has often been the direct cause of a disruption of marital relations. ln this course, not only does one become skilled in the art of cooking, sewing, care of children, and budgeting of time and money, but one also learns proper grooming methods and how to dress attractively. Therefore, this course means a bright- er and happier future for all who complete it. BOTTOM PICTURE- i Row One: Ruth Dibert, ' Wilma L.

C607 Here the girls are practicing canning, one of the procedures of food preservation. Canning helps to preserve fresh food when it is p l e n ti ful and inexpensive. The Home Economics course teaches the girls all methods of canning, such as hot pack, cold pack, open kettle method, hot water bath and pres- sure cooker. This cou rse also teaches the proper steps taken when canning certain vegetables such as loosening the skins, skinning and cutting the vegetables, boiling the vegetables, and filling and properly heating the sealed jars. Another preservation method which these freezing, which is very satisfactory. girls learn is Because of skillful training these girls now know the proper methods of canning which will surely help them in their future years as home- makers. Table setting is not one of the least impor- tant skills to be mastered by all girls taking the Vocational Home Economics course. A goodly portion of the pleasure derived from eating comes from attractiveness of the dining room and the way in which the table is set. Take notice some- time between the way the table is set in a low-priced restaurant and the way it is set in the dining room of a Swank hotel. And this differ- ence will be reflected, too, in the check the waiter hands you after you have finished your repost. Our girls are taught the proper table ar- rangement for a small family as well as for a large group. The girls, too, are taught how to make attractive arrangements for special holidays such as Christmas, Valen- tine Day, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and Halloween. WE ARE PREPARING Our Home Economics instruc- tors are not content to teach the Dare tundamentals of good home- making, but attempt also to teach the girls many other arts and skills wnicn will make living more pleas- ant as the years roll on and bring with them their ever-increasing bur- dens. Many a house-wife has felt the desire for some particular piece ot jewelry, but the family budget just wouldn't stand the extra ex- pense. Knowing this full well, and knowing too, that certain types of jewelry can be made in the home at low cost, our girls are instructed how to do this very thing. The girls at the right are engaged in con- structing earrings of a most attrac- tive nature and which, if purchased in the regular channels would cost many dollars. I Today it seems that sewing is becoming a lost art. You find very tew girls who know even the funda- mental things about sewing. The girls in the Home Economics de- partment are fortunate to have the opportunity to learn this worthwhile art. They are taught how to sew for the home by making articles used there. Self improvement is also brought about by sewing. These girls are taught how to make wise selections of clothing, how to care for them and how to construct garments that really fit. They also learn to sew for other members of the family, which will prove useful in later life, These home economics girls have a wonderful opportunity which they really appreciate. FOR THE FUTURE lt is much more difficult to al- ter a garment than it is to make a new one. Before learning to alter, the girls must first learn to con- struct a new garment. Altering is necessary on a good many new articles of clothing. Gar- ments are usually chosen mainly for their design and color, and some- times it becomes necessary to make them fit properly. It is also nice to be able to make over the old cloth- ing that does not fit. By doing t h e i r own altering these future housewives can save themselves quite a bit of expense. In the picture at the left, we see two Vocational Home Economics girls, who, after having constructed a large number of draperies, are now engaged in hanging them in the library. ln taking up the unit on draperies, the girls go into the choice of material, the color scheme of the room where the draperies are to be used, the exact measurements of the windows, and many other phases. This particular class of girls enjoyed the rare privilege of being able to handle a complete project from beginning to end. When the library was to be fitted with draperies, someone thought it would be necessary to bring in a professional home decorator to do the job but our Home Economics De- partment had no hesitancy in as- serting that the girls in the depart- ment could do the job and do it well. All of us who use the library know what a splendid piece of work they did. TOP PICTURE-Row One: Glen Groves, Dean Grimes, Willard Wolf, Robert Corle, Ronald Ned Hershberger, Keith Hoagland.

FUTURE FARMERS I Just as any other high school, Bedford High holds great pride in their chapter of Future Farmers of America. The chapter is a very prominent one in the area and participates in many activities such as conducting public services, holding both baby beef and swine sales, entering contestants in con- tests of the state and in the local area, and carrying out extensive project programs throughout the school yea r.

The boys of Bedford High, not to be outdone by their fathers, are carrying on extensive dairy enterprises in their productive project programs. ln carrying out their dairy projects the boys must have a wide knowledge about the dairy industry such as bal- ancing feed rations, caring for and raising of dairy calves, and manage- ment of the dairy herd. Their pro- grams consist of all breeds of dairy cattle. EDUCATION We have in our shop a very modern and ef- ficient tool room. To keep it running smoothly o boy from each shop class is placed in charge of its maintenance. The tool room clerk, as he is called, checks tools in and out to students. He makes sure that each tool is in serviceable condition when it is checked out and that it is in the same condition when it is returned. When tools become dull or in need of repair it is his responsibility to see that this work is done. When anything needs replaced he informs Mr. Smith who replaces the article. This seldom hap- pens, however, as we always get the best tools we can afford. Power tools sometimes become worn or broken and it is the responsibility of the tool room clerk to see that proper parts are procured. C667 THROUGH EXPERIENCE Poultry, an up and coming enterprise on many of the farms in Bedford County, cre- ates many problems for those who are in the business. Boys enrolled in Vocational Agri- culture are taught how they may care for their flocks and prevent many of the problems that face poultry raisers. We have here Mr. Kinney and some of the junior agriculture boys performing a post-mortem on a chicken to determine the cause of death. Testing milk is an important job on a dairy farm. Through milk testing the dairy farmer finds out which cows are the best. He can improve his herd by selling the unprofitable cows and replacing them with better ones. He can feed ac- cording to what they produce. Most dairy farmers, who keep accurate records on their cows, make a larger profit than those who do not test and maintain production records. One of the most useful tools in our shop is the wood lathe. This versatile tool is used for many purposes. The lathe is used to turn between centers, table legs and other useful ob- jects. Our lathe is used from the designing of the article to the sanding and varnishing of it Lathe chisels must be very sharp for best results and it is the job of the tool room clerk to see that they are kept in that condition. The type and size of wood used determines the speed at which the lathe is run. Face plate or outboard turning is useful in making nut and fruit bowls, ash trays, or any object flat on one side. In the Industrial Arts shop, wood is one of the most popular materials used. There are several reasons for wood's popularity. ln the first place it is so easy to work with and easy to shape. The other main reason is that it is inexpensive. Boys are taught the characteristics and the uses of the more common types of wood. Pine, walnut, ook and plywood rate very high with the students for their projects. Young men in senior high learn how to set up and use all the machines and tools in the shop before they graduate. Younger stu- dents in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades are more limited as to the use of tools. Boys are not restricted as to the size of their projects and anyone visiting the shop would be likely to see in one place a gun rack being constructed, and in another corner a fel- low student making a cedar chest, l68J Plastics are equally as pop- ular as wood with the fellows in the shop. The reason for this is plastics are brilliant in color and can be sawed and sanded like wood. There are many beautiful objects that can be made from plastics. Same of the most common are lamps, rings and costume jew- elry. Very popular this year is a new type of plastic called Cas- tolite. This is a liquid plastic which looks like water but hardens into sol id plastic. Junior high students are es- pecially baffled by the way plastics become pliable when heated and then retain any shape given them. All through the four years of high school, Bedford' High's agriculture students are in- structed in the skills of shop-- work. Tools and equipment of all types are available. Many different and useful articles are made by the boys. We have here some boys using the oxyacetylene cutting torch, a very w o r t h - while piece of equipment in the shop. With this instrument many different types of metals can be effec- tively cut. Although a little more skill is required for oxy- acetylene cutting than for most other types of farm shopwork, it is not difficult to learn. Oxy- acetylene cutting is also usual- ly easier for beginners than electric-arc welding. LIBRARY Bedford High School's bright, new, attractively furnished li- brary is a place where students flock. They know that the li- brary's first concern is with service. Its purpose is to participate effectively in the program of education as it strives to meet the needs of the school com- munity. The l,ibrary's wide collection of books, pamphlets, filmstrips and periodicals is easily available for groups and individual use of material. Not only does the library c o n t a i n informational ma- terials, but it also caters to leisure-time reading with a large supply of fiction books and magazines. Our library at present is very well equipped with 2,877 volumes and innumerable periodicals. We receive newspapers from New York, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh, as well as local publications. Few students realize the amount of work re- quired to make a book available for use. On an average, each book takes one hour's work before it can be put on the shelf. First of all the books must be ordered. The selections are made as a C709 general rule, from the Standard Catalog for High School Libraries, and are based on the needs and re- quests at students and faculty. When the books arrive they are collated, which means that pages and cover are pressed open and checked for miss- ing pages, blurs, etc. Next they are accessioned, given a card on which is recorded the title, date of publication, cost and publisher so that information will be available in case a book is lost. They are then classified and the date due C7ll LIBRARY slips and cards are attached. The books' numbers are mark- ed on their covers and they are shellacked for protection. Now the books themselves are ready, but more must be done before they can be used. Cards must be tiled in the card catalog. Most books have at least three cards, a card filed by the author, a card filed by sub- ject and one filed by title. Now the books are available and the use at them will be directed by a capable librarian who encourages and guides the pupils in using the library. There are many phases to be mastered in the study of any English course. Being able to stand before a group and to express one's thoughts effec- tively is a skill which requires m u c h prac- tice. LEARNING GUR English is one of the few subjects required in all courses and no wonder, for a good understanding of it is essen- tial. English in all its forms is necessary to people in all walks of life, if they are going to be successful with people and advance in their particular line of work. By the time students reach the last few years of high school, they feel that a fairly good knowledge of the practical side of English is at their command and are glad to progress to some different aspects of it. Ample opportunity is provided in our high school to prepare and deliver reports and short talks. The purpose of this is not necessarily to pre- pare us to be professional public speakers but so that a few appropriate remarks at a business meeting, your local lodge or such may be done well with ease and confidence. MOTHER TGNGUE Through the study of two plays written by Shakespeare, poems of all types, short stories and the like, we build better vocabularies, a better understand- ing of certain aspects of life, and the ability to speak intelligently to educated people. i lt is fair to say that we have been studying English since the day we were born and will continue to do so the rest of our lives. Since many people never become very proficient in the use of our mother tongue, one can deduct that English is not something that can be mastered in a day, or a subject that we stop studying after leaving school, but rather one that requires much careful attention in order that we may be reason- ably correct in our writing and speaking. The girls at the right are engaged in making reports after having made thorough investi- gations on assigned topics. This tends to impress upon one the necessity of accuracy, since there are many students who will chal- lenge any statement that seems doubtful. SCIENCE Bedford High School is fortunate in having one of the most complete science departments in this area. lt is divided into five major branches: general science, bi- ology, chemistry, physics and senior science. General science is offered first. lt affords a back- ground for the more advanced sciences by teaching some of the more important fundamentals. Anyone entering Mr. Wilkinson's room can see the colorful posters on the blackboard and bulletin boards, and the working models of various devices on the table. Biology is the branch of science that deals with the study of living things. Biology students carry on differ- i747 ent experiments under Mr. Koontz's direction. A m o n g these are a demonstration of the process of osmosis, learn- ing the use of the microscope, and the dissection of a frog. Students passing Mr. Crott's chemistry lab have at times noticed interesting o d o r s. These odors are not the result of chemical mistakes. They are the products of experi- rnents with sulfur and am- monia, two of the many things studied in both academic and applied chemistry. The prac- tical as well as technical side of this science is well covered. Senior science is a more ad- vanced and detailed study of the elementary general science. One of the most interesting science courses in the school is physics. This yea r, our young physicists are making a detailed study of work and machines, h e a t, magnetism, and electricity. Aside from prescribed experiments, there are many gadgets that af- ford a good time for both teacher and pupil. The study of science builds a good background for many vocations. Our girls engage in a well- planned physical program cone structed by Miss Knisley. This course tends to develop the student to a healthier and more stable state which leads toward advancement. One of the main events students par- ticipate in is the exercise, which develops their bodies. Some of the gymnastic activi- ties include basketball, volley- ball and softball, which the girls enjoy learning how to play for these sports provide both skill and entertainment. Every student also enjoys nu- merous indoor games which add to a person's ability to get along with other people and share their interests. ln the future these students will ob' tain a healthier body for vari- ous other activities. Our boys physical education pro- gram under the supervision of Mr. Clark requires all boys in seventh, eighth and ninth grades to partici- pate, though senior high students may take it as an extra course. A variety of activities are offered to meet the students' interests as well as his needs. Some of the activi- ties they engage in are soccer. flickerball, tumbling, wrestling and basketball. An attempt is also made to apply some of the facts and principles of health in this course. MISS MARY MORSE, R. N. Completing routine work at her desk. The most valuable thing you possess is good health. Even if you have wealth and fame, with- out health you have nothing. Miss Morse is instrumental, in our school, in keeping everyone in good health. lf a student is found to have an abnormal physical condition, she sees to it that he or she gets proper treatment. Knowing that small cuts sometimes lead to dangerous infections, Miss Morse treats them care- fully. This year everyone in the school was given a free T. B. X- ray. lf o student was found to Nurse Morse dresses a severely lacerated finger for Jim Stiffler. have the dread tubercile bacillus he was given immediate treatment. These examinations were made pos- sible through contributions made in the annual Tuberculosis drive. ln the accompanying picture, you see the X-ray truck in which the X-rays were given. The school also has access to an Orthopedic Clinic twice a year, the Rheumatic Heart Clinic in Altoona, and a Chest Clinic. C763 ln advising our students in their everyday problems Miss Knisley de- serves due credit for her hard and ef- ficient work accomplished in this par- ticular field. In addition to interview- ing seniors, she discusses and explains the problems of both present and fu- ture interests to the students. Many tests are also given to distinguish the tudents' abilities. This department is certainly an essential one in every school. B tt B tt ss 1-:giants B B A new and exciting course in the Juniors' schedule this year is the driver's training, in- structed by Mr. Doyle. Mr. Doyle does an excellent job instructing the students in the automobile as well as the classroom. One of the important aims of the course is to teach the students to be safety-minded in regard to automobiles and pedestrians, The course will be found to help all students in the later years of life, as well as the present. When a student enters his senior year in high school it becomes necessary to begin thinking about plans to be followed after graduation. If one is planning on continuing with advanced training, there are many prob- lems that must be worked out before the end of the year. What size college or universit-' should be selected? How much will it cost per year? ls there any opportunity at the school for self-help, that is, is there any opportunity at the school by which a student can secure part- time employment and there- by assist in paying his col- lege expenses? And many, many other problems. i N lt has been said that arithmetic is both a science and an art. As a science it deals with basic facts. As an art its chief function is the application of these facts. Here in these three pictures our young mathematicians are attempting to show how arithmetic takes on real meaning and thus becomes useful. A local citizen, who wanted to know how many tulip bulbs could be plant- ed in a circular tulip bed, furnished us with K7 'ivan . ' ,f r 12- 7: the problem. We tried to supply the answer. Through the problem we were shown a clearer meaning of the words: circle, circumference, diameter, radius, and, to symbols used in such formulas as 1 c equals pi times d or c equals two pi times r. In a second picture, in the front ofa very simple store background, we see a group of pupils learning the simple art of making ' 33, ' -' 1- ,a:e ::' wma: g-,nfl-4.'J1L'1 A zcafnct , ,f All change. Through this little project the pu- pils learned that our stores and shops could not exist without the use of basic arithmetic skills. Another picture shows a group of pupils in a general mathematics class using weigh- ing scales to assist them in their understandina of the fundamental lows ot the equation. This device helped them to understand the basic ffx yy. equation law: that whatever process is used with one side of the equation must be used with the other side in order to keep the equa- tion in balance. We do not believe that we can change the nature of the number system, but, we do be- lieve that we can help pupils see that num- bers do have meaning and that they are neces- sary and useful symbols. One of the higher mathematics courses taught in high school is solid geometry. Along with being a re- quirement for college, this course helps the student to acquire a special concept, to relate figures in one plane to figures in more than one plane, to learn the right approach to original theorems, to appreciate the geometric forms found in nature and in archi- tecture, and to apply the theorems to the world about him. These two juniors pictured here are explaining a theorem with the aid of a model. The health of cities, communities and homes is the product of sanitation and the tremendous ad- vance in medical science is the product of many Biologists. Biology gives us the answer as to how to live with the least possible friction with our environ- ment. To understand the balance of nature which man in his ignorance sometimes has a tendency to upset. Our increased and better food supply is the product of improved garden and farm crops, as well as all kinds of superior domestic animals which is the product of the principle of selection by out- standing plant and animal breeders. Biology accounts in every detail for the exist- ence of man upon this planet today. It will be of the greatest importance in the next war because Biological Warfare and the research with it has made tremendous progress since World War ll. Man's preservation and protection in the coming Atomic Age has its foundations based on our un- derstanding of this life science. The conservation of our natural resources in- cludes the protection and use of our forests, farms, and wild life. This is very closely connected with our leisure time activities and recreation such as hunting, fishing and camping. All of these have their solution in the related sciences that make up the subject called Biology. Upon entering one of Miss Litzinger's French classes one might be confronted with a question such as: Parlez-vous francais, monsieur? The classes are kept interesting by conversing with one another in French and also by listening to phonograph records of the French language. Some of the students have correspondents in France or other French speaking countries. This is very advantageous because it gives the pupil a good hobby and also a better knowledge of this language. Studying French can be very often profitable since it is the language of numerous countries and even a portion of the population of our northern neighbor, Canada, speak it. Latin is dead! l'm certainly not taking it next year. This is a famous statement made by students. However, Latin is not dead at all, it is used in many respects today. There are numerous mottaes used such as Semper Fidelis meaning Always Faithful , which is the motto for the Marines. We are very familiar with the one on our coins, E Pluribus Unum , meaning One out of Many. Having a knowledge of Latin makes these mottoes more meaning- ful when we see them. The clothing worn by Romans, illustrated in the picture, was called the toga. The piece of cloth was semi-circular and measured from the top to bottom about three times the height of the wearer. The togas were made from wool, silk, or fine linen. The Romans especially liked the un- dyed wool of a yellowish hue. The Roman machine gun shown in the picture was not too popular because it was very heavy, and the stones or arrows used could only be shot one at a time, making the aim very uncertain. A few reasons for studying Latin are: l. Basis of Romance Languages, French, Spanish, Por- tuguese, ltalian. 2. College entrance requirements, necessary for professions such as a doctor, lawyer, dentist, and pharmacist. 3. Study of science. 4. Sixty per cent of our English words derived from Latin. 5. Better understanding of English grammar. 6. Cultural value. i8ll CCMMERCE The Commercial Department is devot- ed to making successful business people. Aside from the usual learning of skills, the students have developed an attitude which will enable them to keep the proper per- spective on what is most helpful to their employer. To be o success one must have, in addition to skill, a sixth sense, or secre- tarial sense. An employee, whether pri- vate secretary or office boy, will have se- curity of tenure as a reward for having this sense Mrs. Boering and Mr. Miles, the com- mercial instructors, are constantly striving to teach more than mere essentials. ln class the student is given o broad view into s a l e s manship, advertising, bookkeeping, shorthand, business essentials, business English, business law, and the operation of the typewriters and other office machines. Upon graduation these pupils will have unlimited opportunities in the fields of business, industry and professions. E . B H ., . ' ..

S. are encouraged to experiment in several mediums. Pencil, crayons, pen and ink, opaque and transparent water colors are the most popular among the students here. Several different mediums may be used simultaneously within any one class. When it comes to subject matter for art work individual expression is empha- sized. Borrowed ideas and copy work are discouraged. Every individual has some- thing he can say pictorially even though he is a beginner. Everyone is encouraged to try to the limit ot his experience and skill. While the aim here is certainly not to make technicians and artists out of every- one, those who show special aptitude and enthusiasm in that direction are encourag- ed. The good art program should help en- rich every student's lite during school years as well as those which come after. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Stardust was presented November l4, l952, by the class of '5-4. When the cur- tains were pulled open the scene revealed was the interior of a combination office and class- room belonging to Mr. Bach, an excitable in- structor of drama, played by Tom Gray. Students at the Academy of Dramatic and Allied Arts were a group of young people who echoed Bach's suave, sophisticated airs adoringly. Members of the cast who played these curious characters were Joanne Kimmel, James Arnold, Norma Diehl, John Yantz, Hu- bert Mickel, Patricia Bookheimer, Jean Como, JoAnn Smith, Thomas Nesbit, Dorothy Bare- foot, Ruth Heming and Beverly Hull. When Miss Prudence Mason, an actress from Broad- way played by Kay O'Brien, visited the school the students were disappointed to find her per- fectly normal and not the least bit sophis- ticated. Prudence's best friend, Clair, Leah Hu- bicsak, with a deadly sense of humor and imagination successfully discouraged Pru- dence's plan of marriage. The prospective groom, Arthur Scott, Jr., was a handsome, slightly stuffy businessman from Wall Street, portrayed by Bob Kinsey. Jerry Flanagan, talent scout, was played by David Townsend, and the Dean of Women was played by Dorothy l-lagenbuch. This play was made successful through the direction of Miss Learish and the aid of stage manager, Donna Suter, prompters, Bea- trino DeLaney and Audrey Barron, and the properties committee whose chairman was Ruth Wiener. 45 MARY E. LEARISH Director of Dramatics Miss Mason will arrive in one- h alt hour. Approximately thirty minutes. Now, I will brush my teeth. Yes, that's what Mr. Bach said, and in dead earnest, too. Although he is not an average man, he would seem so when surrounded by his sophisticated students of drama. Tad, a promising, young play- wright with a fresh sense of form directs his fellow students in the rehearsal of his play. Talent scout, Jerry Flanagan, tries to get some information. He hopes the students don't find out he's a talent scout, though. An associ- ate of his walked into a school of drama once, they never found him again. Long, long ago, in ancient Greece, drama had its beginning. It is said that drama o- riginated trom the songs and dances used in worship of the Grecian Dionysus, the god of wine. There were two sets ot songs and dances, from one came tragedy, from the other came comedy. lt is said that from the beginning, comedy was connected with light- er, brighter things. Our Junior Class play, the comedy called Stardust, scenes from which are shown below, could quality tor lightness, but we are not so sure about its brightness. But thanks to that dear old Greek named Thespis, else we might not even have class plays today. And we do have so much fun at rehearsals l l l l85i CHCDRUS Row One: Ronald Bowser, Carol McCann, Jo Ann Hainley, Norma Diehl, Eileen Curley, Marlene Gerula, Mabel Diehl, Rita Logan, Dana Stotler.

One of the most active organizations in Bedford High School is our chorus, under the expert supervision of Miss Mary Burgoyne. During the third period, you can hear the hearty voices of seventy tenth, eleventh and twelfth grade boys and girls coming from the stage. Special opportunities are open to any member of the chorus who displays special tal- ent. An example is the quartet: soprano, Martha Shoemaker, alto, Joan Fletcher, tenor, Richard Bell, bass, Charles Ashba. The chorus soloists and sextet have also prepared some very beautiful numbers, these groups appearing before the public in the First Annual Chorus Concert, held in the High School Auditorium on January 29. The chorus jour- neyed to Hyndman to give a repeat performance of the concert. Appearing in personal appearances and singing in assembly makes everyone feel that he is earning his credit and is doing his part to make this worth-while organization admired by all. Each year the chorus of Bedford High is represented in district and county chorus, Those members who were so fortunate as to represent our chorus at county chorus were sopranos, Mabel Diehl, Barbara Hunt, Gloria Lesh, Norma Diehl, and Carolyn Koontz, altos, Patty Bookheimer, Jean Como, Jean King and Louise Schaffer, tenors, Richard Bell, Ronald Bowser, Erwin Hostetler, Jack Morgart, James Schisler, Joe Waller, Margery Clacr and Joan Fletcher, basses, Roger Bagley, Charles Ashba, James Barefoot, Richard Brown, Robert Bumbaugh, Jere Cessna, Clifton Cornelius, Robert Hunt, Charles Janssens, Ronald Fisher, William Mock, Robert Reese, Robert Trimmier and James Wise.

Every year the chorus appears at Baccalaureate, this year coming up with two sen- sational numbers, Send Forth Thy Spirit, by Scheutsky and Cheribim Song, by Bart- niansky. Miss Burgoyne tries to pick a variety in selecting her music for class study. Among the patriotic songs is This is My Country, which expresses deep appreciation for this noble country in which we are so fortunate to live. Another favorite is You'll Never Walk Alone , from the Carousel Our chorus is strictly a musical organization and has as its purpose to give its mem- bers musical experience. lt does whatever it can to help with community activities, not only in Bedford, but in the surrounding districts. An important part in the schedule of the chorus is its participation in church services in and about Bedford. At the beginning of the year elections were held and the lucky officers were: President, Robert Trimmier, Secretary-Treasurer, Norma Gloor, Business Manager, Charles Ashba, We are proud of our chorus and proud to have such a talented instructor and director as Miss Burgoyne, who made it possible for us to have such a fine chorus. We are all hoping that our chorus will continue with the good work as it has done in the past. C877 .,, ,.. BLUE AND is v. .ii ii .tzii ,ia . Front: Lois Hammer, Katie Dunkle.

Our snappy Blue and White Band is one of the most active organizations in Bed- ford High. lt was our band that was seen on those chilly, fall Friday nights, marching through the town getting the public in the mood for football games, and then returning to the field to give sparkling performances before the game and at halftime. On October 4, the band traveled to Penn State campus where they joined many other bands in a parade. At halftime, during the Penn State-William and Mary game, they completed a formation with these bands and DlGyeCl One number. Aside from football games, our band made spectacular performances in both the Bedford and Everett Hallowe'en Parades. Continuing practice over the summer and the expert instruction of the director, Mr. Hunsicker, prepared the band for these appearances.

After football season, the band toned down to more serious music, part of which was presented at the Fifteenth Annual Band Concert on April l7. The purpose of this con- cert is to raise money for new uniforms, new music, and new instruments. ln January, ten of our band members were selected to play in the District Band, which was held in Punxsutawney. Charles Ashba was selected to represent Bedford High in the All-State Band held at State College, Pennsylvania. Officers of the band are: President, Jim Smith, Vice President, Charles Ashba, Sec- retary and Treasurer Diane Taylor' Business Manager, Tom lclnes' and Librarian Joan Fletcher. I I I l On Memorial Day, the Blue and White Band marched to the close of another very successful year. C893 As far back as the records of hu- manity go, there is evidence of drums and other percussion instruments used in battle and the dance, in old tribal ceremonies and barbaric rites. Civil- ized people are no less moved by the roll of drums, the beating of castanets and the clang of one metal upon the other to move them to excitement than were the most primitive cave men. tw-fi' THE TRUMPET is most often associated with bat- tlefields and deeds of martial glory. According to the famous biblical story, the walls of Jericho could not withstand its shattering blasts. ln the modern band or orchestra, it not only serves to make warlike cries, but it is also capable of soft cadences. Equipped with a cup-shaped mouthpiece and three valves, it is in many respects like the cornet, which is smaller and is pitched an octave higher. Because its tones are less noble, it is frequently excluded from the symphony orchestra. Since it can produce higher notes than the trumpet, it is sometimes called upon to help it. The SNARE DRUM is the first of the family of per- cussion instruments which do not produce a musical sound. When one speaks of a musical sound, one means a sound of definite pitch, when one speaks of a noise , one merely means a sound of indefinite pitch. THE BASS DRUM, compared with the snare drum, is like the booming of heavy artillery to the crackle of machine-gun fire. This huge instrument is struck with heavy blows to produce a deep, solemn note, as of dis- tant cannonade or thunder. The FRENCH HORN is the only brass wind instru- ment which has a funnel-shaped mouthpiece. Its tone is mellow and sweet, and has none of the metallic quali- ty of other brass instruments with cup-shaped mouth- pieces. The valves, two or three of them, operated by the player, control the pitch. ln order to subdue the tone of the horn, and sometimes to produce rapid and difficult passages, the player's right hand is inserted in- to the flared, bell-shaped end. There is a magnificence of tone-quality in the French horn which is capable of being brilliant, sad, mysterious, and gay. 4903 The SAXOPHONE is comparatively a newcomer to the orchestra. At first it was used only in military bands, but gradually it was admitted to the clarinet family, being included as a sort of half-brother. The reason it is grouped with the wood winds, even though it is made of metal, is that the saxophone is equipped with a single reed mouthpiece. lt was invented in l84O by a Belgian, Adolph Sax. Little did he think that his invention would be put to its present-day popular use. The saxophone is made in several sizes. lt is a mis- taken idea that the saxophone came into prominence with jazz. Berlioz, Meyerbeer, and Massenet used it effectively. ' The TUBA is a brass wind instrument of enormous size, equipped with a cup-shaped mouthpiece and pitched very low. The tuba's tube is so long that it has to be curled around and around several times. Certainly the tube would look funny if it were stuck straight out, to say nothing of carrying an instrument that was twice as long as a bed. As we have said, the tuba's tone is very low and quite fearful. Sometimes when it is played we think of a dragon moving clumsily about, as though he had just awakened, Until the time of Richard Wag- ner, this deep-toned instrument was seldom used. But he gave it prominence by employing it in many of his compositions. The FLUTE or FIFE is one of the oldest instruments known to man. Egyptian mural decorations show flutes that are so long that the players' arms, when stretched full length downward, could hardly reach the end. Notes are altered by opening and closing holes in the lower end of the tube. The flute, like all wood wind instruments, has holes cut exactly where they should be to produce perfect intonation. Keys on levers are pro- vided to open and close these holes as the player oper- The SLIDE TROMBONE has a cup- shaped mouthpiece. Its old name was saickbut, which in Spanish means an instrument which pumps or draws out. We call it the slide trombone because the tubes slide in and out to adjust the precise pitch. lt has neither finger holes nor valves, but the lengthenina or shortening of the tube by sliding it up or back is enough to produce all the tones of the scale. ates the keys. f9ll DANCE BAND First Row-left to right: Jesse Koontz, Tom lckes, Dave Trimmier, John Wright.

The Bedford High Dance Band more commonly known as the Blue Jesters is one of the hardest working and also the most known organization in the school. The Dance Band is run as an extracurricular activity and does not practice on school time. The President is Charlie Ashba, who is also head and mainspring of the sax sec- tion. The other officers are: Vice-President, Jim Smithg and Business Manager, Don Hershberger. This year's dance band has had a very full season. The Dance Band plays at almost all school dances such as the Pig Skin Hop and St. Patrick's Day Shindig. The Dance Band used the profits of the year for a trip to Hershey to see the World Famous lce Capades. The Dance Band plays at social functions in Bedford and neighboring communities. This year's Blue Jesters have been very lucky. We have had more experienced peo- ple in the Dance Band than ever before. Charlie Ashba is our lead sax man. He has had that position for three years. Also our first trumpet man, Jim Smith has occupied that chair for two years. ' i927 DANCE BAND Our dance band is made up of three main sections, saxes, brass and rhythm. The sax section consists of five saxes with Charlie at the helm. The brass is made up of tour trumpets and three trombones headed by Jim Smith and Tom lckes respectively. The rhythm is made up ot three instruments: drums, David Townsendj bass, Tom Smouseg and piano, Joan and Harriet Fletcher. The seniors are awarded a silver key for their service in the Band. Seven of our members are eligible for this award. The dance band is the outfit it is because all work together. They hold practice every Monday night and attendance is lOOWp all the time. Like all school organizations they have a faculty advisor. ln this case it happens to be Mr. Hunsicker. This year has proven one of the most successful ever enjoyed by the Blue Jesters and we hope that there are many more to come. C937 MAJORETTES-Left to Right: Lois Hammer, Saundra Sellers, Norma Lee Gloor, Saranne May, Kathryn Dunkle, Jane Koontz. NORMA LEE GLOOR, Head Majorette Behind the silver blur of the whirling batons in the skillful hands of our majarettes, there lies a story, It is a story of hard work and diligent practice-of many hours spent, indoors and out, summer and winter, mastering the art of twirling. However, it is effort well rewarded, as is evi- dent in their outstanding performances during foot- ball season, at the band concerts, Memorial Day Parade, and many other band functions. These snappy routines are entirely their own creations. All the girls play an instrument in the concert band. This and ability are the only qualifications for membership in this group, Drum Major Norma Gloor had been marching in front of the band for two years prior to her elec- tion to the top position, laying a solid foundation gf experience which is evident in the fine job she oes. These girls, in teaching others to twirl, are making certain that the fine tradition of Bedford High School's majorettes will be carried an after they have graduated. 1941 l CHEER LEADERS A Bedford High School sports event would not be complete without the student body pulling with every nerve, vocal cord and muscle for that touchdown, basket, or pin, in the three major sports of the Bisons. The credit for this vocal expression must go to the Varsity Cheering Squad of Bedford High School. Made up of representatives from each of the three upper classes, these girls under their elected captain Jean Jeanie Diehl, a four year varsity leader, really know how to take advantage of the chills and thrills of the sport to bring the student body into that old pep and go spirit. Along with Jeanie , we also lose two varsity cheerleaders whose absence will be truly felt around Bedford High School, Rose Aral Rosie Whetstone and Florence Luny Hershberger. These three seniors made up a real combination of getting the most enthu- siastic response from the student body. These girls may be seen practicing every Wednesday after school during the schoo! year and each Monday evening during the summer vacation. At these practice sessions the girls train the up and coming junior varsity cheerleaders. The junior varsity is made up of mem- bers of the classes that comprise the Junior High School and are responsible for the cheer- ing at all Junior Varsity athletic contests. Much credit is due this entire group of both Varsity and Junior Varsity Cheerleaders for the sportsmanlike conduct of the specta- tors and the pleasant sports relationship Bed- ford High School shares with other schools against whom it competes.

To capture the atmosphere of Gay Paris for the i952 Prom, members of the Junior Class worked for weeks mak- ing paper flowers, making pro- grams, and borrowing period porch furniture. Around the walls of the au- ditorium were huge frames of wire netting supporting the blankets of laurel. Various colored imitation flowers were scattered through the laurel. Street lamps along the aisle led past magical avenues with tinkling names of French Ron- devous. Near the end of the street there was constructecldsa great white arch with green JUNIGR AND laurel woven through the pickets and pink roses emerging from between the huge leaves. From the arch one could observe a beautiful view of the magnificent fountain in the middle of the dance floor. The foun- tain, a copy of the one in An American in Paris , stood five feet to the top of the spray. This idea was said to have been the most beautiful theme to have been captured and displayed for any dance. SENIOR PROM Here are six shots caught by our rambling photographer on the night of our i952 Prom. This is the one event of the entire school-year which stands out above all others.

George Lesh drops the ball in the hoop giving the Bisons another point as Shimer, Moy and Barron go for the rebound. Windber takes the ball out of bounds after a Bison player rnade two points. Harcleroad, Barron, Lesh and Shimer are running down the floor in order to get the defense set up. After a long hard game we see Bar- ron, Lesh and Shimer watching with happy eyes as William Harcleroad puts the ball through the hoop. H059 The picture to the right shows the Bedford J.

Coach Koontz is refreshing one of his boys during the rest period. Ron- ald Clark is listening to his instructions. Chalk up two more points for Don Barger, l45 pounder. He has reversed his opponent at the edge of the mat and now will start on top in the center. This was a sad moment for the Bi- sons. The wrestler for Phillipsburg is about to pin Hunt of Bedford with a half nelson and crotch. C1089 Here we see Don Baker, Dis- trict 5 champion in the l2O pound class. Don has just scored two points and is now attempting to drive his oppon- ent to the mat. Here we see Bob Trimmier, Captain of the Bedford team, in a neutral position, trying to score points on his Phillips' burg opponent. The referee has just signal- ed a win for the visiting team by raising the victor's arm. The happy Phillipsburg wrest- lers rush to congratulate their teammate.
