With the formation of the iointure Mr. Sproul is burdened with many new duties. He is responsible for the education of each student, from the tiniest first grader to the most dignified senior. fllyh Salma! lfriuczjmzl I am happy to look forward to including the class of 1955 among the graduates of Bedford High School. Beginning in 1890 and in each succeeding year young men and women have been graduating from this high school. The members of these sixty- five classes received from Bedford High School in proportion to what they gave. In like manner you have obtained knowledge, habits, attitudes and skills in proportion to what you have given mentally and physically. Your attainments in the classroom, laboratories and shops, on the stage and on the athletic field or floor will help you to become leaders of your communities, state and nation, and we shall be proud of you.

Engineer lLeft to Rightj Raymond Harris, Norman Miller, Luther Rose, Leroy Blackburn. Without the four kind gentlemen we see above, it is safe to say that school could not exist in our institution. Just as an airport neces- sitates its ground crews we could not be with- out our engineers. This is the importance of the role they play everyday of our school year. These four gentlemen are always ready and willing to give their assistance as it may be needed. They are often called upon to quickly mend a piece of broken furniture or fix a broken window shade. They may also be seen replac- ing light bulbs, or kindly lending a tool to someone in need of it. But their work isn't all that simple, for instance, they must clean our auditorium everyday after lunch, and keep every room on three floors spotless, which takes many long hours of sweeping, scrubbing and polish- ing. Many tasks often taken for granted by us are never overlooked by our engineers. As in- portant as a clean and smooth landing field is the lawn and exterior of our building. ln summer, our lawn must be mowed several times a week, to give it a smooth, clean appearance. ln the fall and winter of the year the sidewalk must be kept free from snow and ice to assure the students of reaching their destination safely. Another strenuous and tedious assignment is washing many hundreds of window panes to provide a maximum amount of light for the students. When a play, concert, banquet, or other evening entertainment is held at B. H. S., you may be sure that one of our faithful engineers is on duty. lt is his responsibility to see that all the lights are out and the doors are locked. At lunch time one or several of our engine- ers may be seen busily hustling about replenish- ing the supply of cold milk or furnishing a cart on which we may place our tray. All in all, may we say that your job is one of the most important in our school and that the Echo wishes to take this opportunity to salute you. Hats off, for a job well done.

The Class of 1955 has given to me the power of writing this short resume' of their objectives. We entered as Freshmen in the tall of 1951. As Freshmen we took a prize in the Hallowe'en parade with a real sharp float. Our party that year was a real bang-up shindig. The Sophomore year passed much the same as the Freshman year had. By this time our ability was showing forth in athletics and music. We had represent- atives on all the sports squads and in the Band and Chorus. The next tall we were Juniors. This was our biggest year yet, with our Junior Class play What a Lite and planning our Prom. The play was a comedy and of course was a howling success. Our prom done on the theme of The Hanging Gardens was the most beautiful ever. Now at last the Class of 1955 was in its final year. Our party in form ot a square dance passed as did our Senior Class Play Curious Savage . Before we knew it we were at Commencement and held in our hand a diploma.

In our midst are five ladies who come to school before the students arrive and stay until mid-afternoon. No, they are neither teachers nor students, they are the cooks. These women plan and prepare the menus so that the student body can have hot meals every day. Several years ago there was no cafeteria but the faculty and the advisors thought the students needed hot lunches, so they began to work on the idea of construction and operating a lunch room. Then the lunch period was short- ened, which prohibited the students from going home, so having a cafeteria became a necessity. With the aid of the Parent-Teachers Association, the cafeteria began to operate in l947. At first the number of students eating lunch at school was not so great as that of present, therefore only three ladies were required to prepare the lunch, but as the population of the vicinity of Bedford increased so did the school enrollment thus demanding more helpers. The cafeteria does not have all the finest facilities, but the cooks operate as best they can under present condi- tions and provide the students with nourishing food every day. The cost of a lunch is a reason- able price of twenty-five cents. A few students complain about particular lunches, but who likes everything? The cafeteria receives surplus food through the government's program of assistance. Some charitable organizations around Bedford provide for the under-privileged children the benefits of the cafeteria. -63- The lunch program is operated on three shifts. Roo-ms scheduled to eat during the first lunch period go to the auditorium for twenty- five minutes. At the end of their time they return to their rooms for fourth period class. The second and third lunch shifts are operated similarly with the exception that the third shift completes its fourth period class before eating. Each room awaits a signal which is given over the public address system telling them to go to the audito- rium. They proceed in line through the cafeteria to pick up the day's servings. As they pass through, the ladies and their helpers, are busy serving food on individual dishes for each to place on his tray. In the back of the cafeteria are the students washing trays and dishes. For this work they receive a free lunch. The cafeteria is a place of much hurried activity, for over seven hundred students are served each day. Pupils that desire to bring lunches from home also eat in the same room with the others. Such students may add to their lunch by buying milk or any other food item that the cafeteria serves. In addition to preparing meals for the lunch program, during a period of two weeks in the summer, the cooks, under the supervision of Mrs. Bankes, provide the boys who are praticing for the coming football season with hot meals. Meals are also served to the boys before they engage in their strenuous games. Bedford High School looks forward to the future when the cooks will have a much better place to prepare lunches for the students. Certain- ly these ladies deserve credit for a iob well done. .fzyhflz Grade Row One: Barbara Foor, Christopher Garland, Cecelia Logan, Mary Dibert, Lana Johnson, Joyce Diehl, Dorothy Stiftler, Joseph Wcsley Clites, Nancy Stifiler.

Thus the needs and inter- ests of the student as an individual can govern his choice of subjects. The Academic Course The Academic Course is designed to meet the needs of a student who knows definitely that he wants to prepare for college entrance after graduating from high school. All colleges, in general, require the completion of certain basic subjects. This course, therefore, is less flexible than the General Course. Most high school students take Latin and Algebra their first year, but the Academic student must con- tinue with both Latin and higher mathematics. There is a definite correlation between the sub- jects in this course and the entrance requirements of liberal arts colleges and technical schools as well. lt may be added that the students taking the Academic Course receive a more intensive training in languages, science and mathematics than in any of the other four. The General Course The General Course is planned for students who have no thought of continuing their educa- tion beyond high school. lt offers them a wide selection of electives. Pupils, however, who have taken the necessary electives and who have a high scholastic average are eligible for admis- sion to college, provided they meet the college's standards. Primarily, this course is for the student who wishes to become a worthy and useful citizen in his community after graduating from secondary school. ln the General Course a person interested in a certain field may choose elective subjects pertaining to this field. Also a student who has not decided exactly what he is going to do after graduation may take this course. In this wav he attains a broad general background rather than specialized training in one particular field. The Commercial Course The Commercial Course is one of the most popular courses for both boys and girls. lt is just as useful for a boy to know how to type and run an adding machine as it is for a girl. This curriculum offers training for students prepar- ing to become secretaries or clerical workers. The backbone of this course is typing and short- hand but in addition the students take bookkeep- ing, commercial arithmetic, salesmanship, and other subjects of this general nature. The Com- mercial Course is also designed to make him familiar with the operation of the newest types of office machines. Satisfactory completion of the courses in stenography and typing is based upon one's ability to take dictation at the rate of 120 words per minute by graduation time. l-le also must be able to type 60 words per min- ute. This course in high school is often followed by further training in a business college, since it is not intended to be a preparatory course for entrance at a regular college. If this course is completed satisfactorily and perhaps followed by business college, one is assured of a good position in the business world. The Vocational Home Economics Course The Vocational Home Economics Course prepares girls to maintain a home efficiently. Girls work TO periods a week on projects in sewing, cooking and related arts. They acquire skills in the preparing of balanced meals, child care, home nursing and home decoration. Oftentimes small children are brought into the classroom where the students learn how to bathe, feed and give them general care. lt is also the respon- sibility of the Home Economics students to keep their room in the highschool building looking attractive and colorful. While most of the work in this course is completed at school, each student must also prepare a home project once a semester. Thus these girls are learning to work independ- ently at home, relying on their own initiative. Certainly this course prepares a girl for any domestic situation she might have to face in her own home after she once leaves high school. The Vocational Agriculture Course The Vocational Agriculture Course is taken by boys who wish to become better farmers. This course should not be under-estimated as our farmers help to keep our industries growing and our country strong. The boys learn while doing in this course. They have a supervised farming prooram in which the boys plan, do the work, and keep records on their different pro- jects. These projects range from growing crops to raising different types of animals. The projects are prepared-at home and so while the boys are learning, they are also teaching their fathers up-to-date farming techniques. These home pro- jects also serve another purpose. Boys who have not decided exactly what type of farming they like, such as having a dairy farm or raising potatoes for a money crop, may try both of these and decide in which they are the most interested. .53- 4.32, ine X.-. r-3.

Bedford High School is a wonderful place to attend because be- ing a democratic school, it has its own student representative organization, the Student Council. The members of the Student Council are chosen at the annual school elections and they remain on the Council until they graduate. lf by some chance a homeroom has no representative, the advisor appoints someone to serve for one year. The main purpose of the Student Council is to promote better relations between the students, the faculty, and the administration. The Council discusses all problems presented by the students and tries to reach the best possible solution. The Council publishes a school handbook which is given to all new students to help them become acquainted with B. H. S. Another big undertak- ing is the supervision of the annual school elections. Students always look forward to the social events which the Student Council sponsors for the whole school. The social events held this year included the annual Pigskin Hop, a skating party, College Night, sock dances after each home football game, a Christmas formal, a square dance, and an all-school party. More students attended the social events this year than ever be- fore, and the Council hopes that growth in inter- est will continue for years to come. The Student Council accomplished other things which led to the betterment of our school. This group helped with the assembly programs this year. The candy sale at all home winter sports events was sponsored by the Council. A very important proiect which was launched by the Student Council was the creation of a school emblem for B. H. S. Other projects were sponsor- ing the football programs, purchasing new flags for each homeroom, and campaigning for the the polio drive. The Student Council is getting better each year and with the help and cooperation of stu- dents and faculty it will continue to do so.

These girls, mostly sophomores, juniors and seniors, give up a study hall for each period they work in the library. Small tasks are given to each of the library ll hers People attending festivities at Bedford High School can not help but admire the lovely group of girls who escort them to their seats and hand out programs. At such occasions as the junior and senior class plays, various concerts, and bac- calaureate, and commencement activities, these young ladies are seen actively engaged in the Jane Bollinger. aides. They deliver attendance slips to the rooms, check books in and out for the students, prepare newspapers for the racks, make out overdue slips, and attend to many other things. These library aides help make the library a more pleasant place for us. By cooperating, we, the students, can make the library a pleasant place for them to work. gfllb performance of their duties.

Those of us who were fortunate enough to be selected to help create our yearbook, look upon this honor as one of the greatest to be attained in high school. One reason for us con- sidering this a great honor is the fact that the tangible evidence of our work is so long-lasting. When we, heard a student on our advertising staff selling advertising recently, and heard her using such statements as long time value, last- ing effect, and Who ever heard of a yearbook being thrown away? we really took on a new perspective toward our work on the staff. After all, what extra-curricular activity in any school offers such tangible rewards of so great a permanency in return for the efforts we spend in the creation of our yearbook? lsn't it true that the results of our efforts in most other activities remain only in the memory? As a matter of fact, the yearbook serves a great purpose in helping us retain the memories of achievement in other activities by recording them in a perma- nently bound book. Some of us on the Staff ..5g.. this year have worked in certain other activities for four straight years and we have greatly enioy- ed doing so, but in some instances we have no memento to which we can point as tangible evidence of the many hours we spent on the activitity. But with our yearbook, it is different. Some of us can actually point to certain pages and say, We had to re-write that four times be- fore it was accepted as being good enough for publication. And there it will be for us to see, feel, and touch as long as we live. Producing this book has not been an easy task and at times many of us were discouraged and down-hearted, but now that it is over, most of us would like to have the opportunity to do it all over again. If given a second chance, many of us feel we could improve greatly upon this our handiwork. But since we are to be denied a second chance to improve upon our work, we present it to you as it is. We hope you will find it in your heart not to be too severe in criticizing our work.

The Head and Arm Dressing Learning the skill ot tying bandages is another important phase in our first aid club. The student learns the skills of applying bandages tor various iniuries. This particular bandage illustrated in the picture is called a cravat. lt is used to stop the flow of bleed- ing in the head region. Correctly applied it will stop bleeding and also lessen the danger of infection. The arm sling is used to rest and mobilize the iniury of the arm, whether it is a broken bone, sprain or a separation. We use a triangle bandage in tying a sling as illustrated in the picture. Artificial Respiration The learning of artificial respiration is one of the most important phases of first aid. We use this if a person has stopped breathing due to drowning, poison gasses, suftocation etc. The method shown here is the back-pressure arm-lift method. This technique gets more air in the person's lungs. Hi-,Cite Row One: Trudie Claycomb, Betty Judy, Gretchen Shaffer, Mary Ellen Leydig, Barbara Hunt, Anna Mary Smith.

If you want to know the latest news, gossip, athletic highlights, or nearly anything going on at Bedford High School, the place to find it is in the Hi-Lites. Publishing the Hi-Lites is an independent extracurricular activity which is run almost entirely by a group of volunteer students under the supervision of Mr. Radle. In order to give the readers quality rather than quanity there are only six issues annually. These six are prepared with great care. In the last five years subscriptions have increased almost 2002. Approxim- ately 702: of the students are reached by the paper. This percentage is primarily the Bison Club membership. Issues of the Hi-Lites are also read by many students from nearby schools with whom an exchange program is arranged. A large proportion of the news is gathered and composed by the members of the iournalism class. The responsibility of proof reading all the material before it goes to press rests upon the shoulders of the editor who also distributes the papers on the issue dates. This year's Editor-in-Chief, Bea Madore, has acted as the middle man between the staff and the Gazette Office which prints the school newspaper. -67- O i O Row One: Gary Kegg, Lee baugh, James Jones, Clar Anderson, Ned Hershberger, R Vance, Norman Koontz, John der.

This was too limited, so it was decided that new ones should be added, one of which was the agriculture course which sponsors a fine organ- ization called the Future Farmers of America. Under the leadership of capable and selfless teachers, this small group has grown to be a large and successful organization. Added attractions have also helped to make the Bedford chapter of the Future Farmers one of the largest in the state. Some of these added attractions are field trips. For these they earn money as a group. There are also baby beef and swine sales. Every year several seniors attend the National Future Farmers of America Convention at Kansas CITY, Missouri.

They have a well-planned, supervised farming program which is planned by a few, but has the cooperation of all. They not only learn how To conduct their farming program, they also learn how to keep accounts and records which are necessary in conducting any job efficiently. They also learn how to use the tools of their trade, how to prune trees, how to judge cattle, and how to plant trees for reforestation. These boys who are freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors won't all be farmers. Some will go to college and become teachers: some will enter other fields of agriculture, some will be in professions not even related to farm- ing. Whatever profession they enter, they will find very useful the training and the experience they have had as members of the Future Farmers of America. Row On Donald Putt, Stanley Beegle, E.

Engl! lf- Our Mather Tongue We are living in an airborn age and it is becoming increasingly important that our minds become airborn also. It we cannot and do not learn to speak and Write correctly, fe how 'to express ourselves easily in speech or in vvriting, our thoughts and feelings stay locked within us and remain unused and wasted, A proper com- mand ot the English language and a domination over the treasures ot literature give wings to the products of our minds and imaginations. 'Ll Many teachers at Bedford High School are band- ed together under the common responsibility of impressing stubborn and resilient young minds with the beauty and importance of our language. Two student publications, the Echo and the Hi- Lites, encourage young would-be writers, while the several academic awards made each year supposedly create a greater striving 'for profi- ciency in English usage. The present graduating class had its first forays with the basic principles of language, along with several other subjects, in a lump sum called Unit, Pressing a little further, they met Miss Garbrick and their first introduction to Public Speaking. Who can help but remember the blushes, stammering, hemming and hawing that this course calls forth and is meant to cor- rect? It was as sophomores they first made a real acquaintance with literature. lt is the sopho- mores who declaim so gallantly in stirring renditions of dramatic and folk ballads. As iuniors they came face to face with Mr. Shakespeare's Macbeth , great quantities of Americal Litera- ture, both prose and poetry, and the principles of Argumentation and Debate. As seniors, Ham- let, is awaiting them each year. And so dear to their hearts C'?'?J is the memory of what seemed at the time like hundreds of red-marked Themes they laboriously wrote. And let us not forget the many local, county, and state-wide contests and competitions in which teachers eagerly urged them to enter themes! How anxiously they await- ed the announcement of the winners, who were often members of this school! English is not one of the easiest subiects to understand as any of our students will attest to willingly, but it is one where mastery pays off in the highest dividends. No other subject can be learned and understood perfectly unless one can read well, and one's chance of intelligent and profitable living is handicapped by poor language and a weak vocabulary. Many students question the value of the literature they are compelled to study in school, but are pleasantly surprised in later life as the beauty and worth of what they read and unwillingly learned come to mind to please them, or to comfort them in a moment of stress. Our school may never pro- duce a great novelist, poet, reporter, or iournal- ist, but the lessons in English imparted here will be far from wasted if they help students to obtain better iobs, make better records at college, or lead more interesting lives. Here we see a Latin student explain- ing to his class-mates how many of our English words may be traced back to the ancient language. latin Our Ancianf C0 yur When Rome was at the height of its power America had not yet been discovered. Neverthe less, our daily lives in modern America are under the influence ot the civilization of Rome as surely as it our land had once been a part of the great Empire. You already know that Latin lives today in the English language. One can scarcely speak without using words related to Latin. ln tact the number ot our Latin derivatives is actually increas- ing. When you take a drive, you are certain to see buildings whose pillars, domes, and arches show that their designers were indebted to the architecture ot Rome. ln Washington, D. C., there are many such buildings - the Capitol, the -74... ot the ancient world. Supreme Court Building and the Jefterson Mem oria Architecture is only one of the fields In which we find ourselves indebted to the Romans Our medicine and law were laid down in ancient Rome The mathematics which make our ma chines and our standard of living possible were developed out ot Roman minds The greatest inspiration tor our artists writers and poets is still Roman mythology. Thus in our daily lite in work and play we Americans are using and enjoying our herit- age trom ancient Rome to an extent unrealized until we study the language literature and lite ot the people who lived on the seven hills two thousand years ago. Latin students locate important places 9rcm'l1 Our 160 mil' Zn We It during the change of classes you hear a group of students walking down the hall speak- ing in a language of nasal sounds and compli- cated, irregular verbs, you may rest assured that French class is about to begin. A stop at room 205 will reveal Miss Litzinger and a small group of students about to start on a grammar lesson or another chapter of Les Trois Mousquetairesf' Besides the daily routine of book work, phonograph records of French vocabulary and sentences are used. These not only provide a dilTerent form of study but also allow the student to hear how an actual Frenchman talks. Along with records, movies and slides of Paris help give an extra French touch to the atmosphere. Several of the students have pen pals in France and French-speaking countries. By receiv- ing letters written in French and answering them in the same way, one becomes familiar with the language and also learns many interesting 'facts about French customs. This correspondence pro- vides a constructive hobby for many students. Some people think it useless to study this language, but they have not stopped to consider that our modern methods of transportation have brought us much closer to the other parts of the world where French is spoken. Some of our next door neighbors, for instance, the Canadians, use this tongue. Also servicemen in the armed forces many times wish that they knew more of this language when they are in parts of the world where English is not spoken. French also provides a good background for a sound English vocabulary. ,auf Sale class may criticise them. Here, two senior students are attempting to improve their pronounciation of French words with the help of a phonograph and a hand-book. The French instructor dictates sentences in English while the student translates them into French. The sentences are then written on the blackboard so the entire Social Studies Here vve see the Social Studies' students engaged in the study of Flag Evolution . The study of Old Glory is quite important in this class. Betsy Ross is credited with having made the fTrst flag of the United States.

In this picture we see a group of seventh graders locating min- eral deposits on a map of the United States. A very important resource to the industry of our country is coal. We can find a bounteous supply of coal in any one of the states of Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The Great Lakes provide easy transportation of iron ore from Lake Superior to the mills where the manufactur- ing of heavy iron goods is carried on. In social studies there is much to learn about mineral resources. Smal Stud ks The showing of movies and film strips is a highly important aid in social studies. When a class is debating on a specific subject, a movie or film strip will clear up details that may be rather confusing. Some divisions of social studies occasionally become rather annoying, and a F...-...,-.--, . .. . ..,., ...V .,.--.... .,......,.-. ,... movie or film strip will eventually break the monotony. Some students are slow in receiving information through the ear, but can perceive with the eye. Therefore, the showing of movies and film strips is a great assistance to that group of students. Voting and similar problems of democracy are very important to the sucess of a great nation like ours. In order to take care of these problems properly, people must be taught and trained. This training starts with the youth in the schools. Bedford High School students taking Prob- lems of Democracy have studied voting quite extensively. Voting is a duty of every citizen, as well as a right. They study the qualifications of voters in the state and United States. Also, as part of their study they learn the advantages BALLOT and disadvantages of different types of ballots, and are required to explain the proper use of the ballot. The class has undertaken different projects such as locating the polling places in their pol- itical districts, and taking charge of class elec- tions. All this is done in an attempt to teach them to think for themselves, and to pass intelligent iudgement on the claims put forth by different candidates for office. xi ,Am mmm C3 ,my -'rig-:' 4 fifidv ff ' ASE ' ff -iii.

The seventh grade class under the direction of Mr. Behrers found it is true. One particular article on Mr. Behrers' bulletin board caught my eye. It stated that during Hurricane Hazel lOO billion gallons of water fell in one clay in Bedford County. A mathematical-minded man got curious and found that it was enough water to fill Bed- ford's reservoirs l,25O times. Fig- ures mean nothing until they are reduced to every day principles. Be mathematical-minded. You may learn something new in the news. There are many fundamen- tals of arithmetic which a stu- dent must master before he is ready to attempt the higher forms of mathematics. Some phases of arithmetic are distaste- ful to many students, but good instruction removes much of this distaste. As soon its a student realizes in his ovxv. .-rind that all the fundamentals are necessary if he is to progress very far, learning for him becomes much easier. Here we see two boys attempting to master the funda- mentals of decimals. Algebra is a very import- ant form of mathematics which is absolutely necessary for all students to learn who plan to enter any future occupation which uses any type of science or mathematics. Specihcally, algebra is the science of calculation by general symbols or letters. Throughout the year many students work and solve many problems algebraic- ally, The student's first acquaint- ance with algebra comes when he reaches the ninth grade and continues in the eleventh and twelfth grades. He takes alge- bra for one half year of each grade as a required subiect of the academic course. Mathematics Sfiemz' GENERAL SCIENCE General science is actually the first scien- tific subiect a student at B. H. S. is acquainted with. This course Touches a little in all the various scientiic fields, biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, geology, and others. The pupil studies various basic processes such as osmosis. The solar system is examined and studied as are the various rock formations. A basic study of electric- ity and magnetism is also covered. Before one can enjoy science he must learn the principle of scientific thinking. The picture shows several budding young scientists' attempt to form a partial vacuum by exhausting the air from a bell lar. PHYSICS Why does cream come to the top? How far will a gun fire a shell accurately? These are some of the questions which are asked in a class of the study of Physics. Physics concerns the appli- cation of forces, the movement of bodies, heat, light, machines and optics. Here we see one of the girls doing the experiment on resolution of forces. This proves that the component forces are equal in strength to the equilibrant force. Mathematics also plays a great part in Physics as everything is figured out by formula. BIOLOGY Biology is a science which concerns the study of the basic functions of plants and animals. The student learns facts about living habits and reproduction of each class of living things. He learns by three principal ways: the text, visual aids and dissection. The dissection will acquaint him with the organic processes carried on in the animal as well as provide for a comparison between the one dissected and other animals. The instrument we see pictured is a bioscope which is used for the study of cell structure of plants and animals. Seimas The Progress Of Science While scoffers loudly proclaimed the impos- sibility of ever flying until men became angels, two bicycle mechanics from Dayton, Ohio, Suc- ceeded in doing it. In December, l903, Orville Wright at Kitty Hawk made a flight which lasted only T2 seconds, but was, nevertheless, the first time in the history of the world that a machine carrying a man had raised itself by its own power. The next day Wilbur Wright stayed in the air 5? seconds. Returning to Dayton, they pursued their experiments quietly for four years. When they returned to Kitty Hawk in the spring of l908, the newspapers awoke to the fact that an event of world importance was happening on the lonely Carolina coast, and verified the fact that flights were being made by heavier- than-air machines. Years of scientiic progress took place be- fore this could happen, iust as many years of progress have come about because this did hap- pen. Samuel Langley had to make his gasoline moter, Glen Curtiss to perfect it. Now man thinks unblinkingly of whizzing faster than sound, speaks glibly of the day men will reach the stars! Many other wonderful inventions have come out of this century, but the modern airplane stands proudly as a symbol of progress. Our way of life is directly affected by it and our defense depends upon it. Proof is everywhere that this is an Air Age. Even the young children no longer roam the range on faithful four-legged pals . Instead, young space cadets freeze each other with their ray guns, suspend enemies in mid-air with anti-gravity devises, and blast off for Mars on full jets, scattering cosmic dust everywhere. Drop dead has been replaced by Air, disinte- grate! Man has come to believe that nothing is impossible, the right way must just be found. 1 XTX X, Aff Z! Ll, CHEMISTRY The science of chemistry is the most varied and interesting of any field of science. lt deals with organic substances as well as inorganic matter. The class is pictured here doing an exper- iment on the destructive distillation of wood. This shows that wood is broken down into wood gas and wood tars. Chemistry is the fastest grow- ing profession of today with companies hiring all the graduate chemists available. Here at B. H. S. we have most of the available apparatus to perform any necessary experiment. There are practical applications of chemistry everywhere we look. ,fs.. . ..-sci.: .sfur u wnw W M4 Desire for art must come from the individual himself. Mr. Wohnhas advises B. H. S. students on essential ways ot developing their work. The student pictured is astonished at the fact that a mental impression can be developed with hand and color schemes into a real cre- ation. Art developes hidden instincts and stress- es a desire to create new ideas, essentials ot any career. rf The art course ot Bedford High School is open to students with talent as well as to stu- dents who just enjoy art. lt is under the direction ot Mr. Wohnhas who tries to help the students learn to express beauty by their study ot art. Students are encouraged to be original in all their ideas and to try the limit ot their skills and abilities in pencil, pen, and ink, charcoal, and pastel drawing and in opaque and transpar- fa 2.. ent water color painting. ln the art class room can be seen many pictures done in one or several of these media. The aim of the course is not to make artists and technicians of all the students. However, those students who show special aptitude are encouraged to go on with higher education in the field of art. The art program should help the students during their school years, and also in later lite. library Almost all learning comes Through reading. Therefore the main fount ot knowledge at Bed- tord High School is our library. Students who ignore visiting it are missing out on a great deal. lt is a very pleasant place we would direct you to H large, bright, cheerful - and decorated always by the imaginative minds of the library crew, to compliment the seasons or call interest to new books. Miss May, our librarian, is in sole charge ot care of the library. Since she has no faculty assistant, however, she calls upon a corps of willing, well-trained aides. The largest section in our library is the non- tiction section but fiction is perhaps the most popular. Also maintained is an almost complete list of popular magazines, which can be used best only through The Readers Guide for Period- ical Literature. This yearly publication lists all magazine articles available on almost any sub- ject. Students must be very cautious and not too hasty when choosing their vocations and future plans. The tiles of professional and technical information on job qualihcations, advantages, and disadvantages can be an invaluable aid. One of the most important duties of the library aides is repairing books. Many of the books put out for students use are mended and sent out to be rebound. Some of these books appear new, because either the librarian or a student assistant sees that the worn books are carefully mended. vu-s-vig--'ul 'mr mast or mas Many students claim they don't like to read or don't have time to read. In our library there are books to interest any mind or fit into every budgeted reading time. Miss May is always more then eager to help you find a story that will suit and please you. Every student should learn to use the card index. The library is full of knowledge and secrets. They do not revel themselves easily, to the careless and insincere seeker. One must know for what he is hunting and where he can find it. This is the main purpose of the card index. You owe it to visit the library regularly. Our library is a wonderful place. Let's use it! 1 dfiiziizercr and Husiness Administration Shorthand and Typing Shorthand, or stenography, is begun in Bed- ford High near the end of the sophomore year for a period of eight weeks and is continued throughout the iunior and senior years. This short preparation period helps students in the sopho- more year to become acquainted with the funda- mentals of the subiect. The iunior year is spent learning to read and write shorthand symbols at first glance. After this is accomplished, taking dictation is next in line. Strengthening the knowledge ofthe system, increasing speed, and preparing a foundation on which to build transcription skill is mastered in the senior year. Just as important to a secretary as stenog- raphy is her skill in typing. This is also given at the end of the sophomore year for eight weeks. Students other than those in the commercial course wishing to take typing may do so in their senior year. In this course the student learns to type business letters and envelopes, as well as to handle various other business material. Skill building tests are given to help strengthen typ- ing speed and cut down on errors. The person responsible for all this work is the new shorthand and typing instructor, Miss Galbraith. There are twenty-three in the senior group and twenty-five in the iunior group. One of the main factors in acquiring a fast shorthand and typing speed is practice. The old saying Practice makes perfect will hold true for the majority of these future secretaries. Grfmmerre and Husiness Administrafian Bookkeeping is the heart ot every business. lf by chance all the bookkeepers and accountants in the United States were suddenly taken out of their jobs, business, industry, and govern- ment would soon grind to a halt. Chaos would result. Managers ot business enterprises, both large and small, need a knowledge of bookkeep- ing in order to know how to plan, how to pre- pare budgets, how to record transactions, and how to interpret the results ot operations. The materials offered by Bedford High School provide for these basic understandings and skills. Students use actual business forms. The ac- count forms and books are typical of those used in business. Bookkeeping records are sometimes called the eyes of the business because they enable the owner ot a business to see the pro- gress that he is making. There are many machines in our commer- cial department besides the typewriter, such as the mimeograph, the Ditto, the mimeoscope, the Monroe Educator, and adding machines. These machines are useful to the department in many ways. The mimeograph and Ditto aid in producing more copies with greater speed. One can run oft one hundred copies in a short time and the stencil may be used over and over. The adding machines and educator help in accurate figuring. The mimeoscope is used in connection wtih the stencil. ffvmcmaking Dsparfmeui The Homemaking Department, - perhaps better known as the Vocational Home Economics Department, foFfers some of the most vital in- struction to be found in our High School. Those of us who are taking instruction in this depart- ment believe it to be vital because it has to do with the most fundamental institution of human society, - the home. Believing the home and the family to be the most fundamental of all institutions in civil- ized society, we study everything in this depart- ment which we believe will help us to improve the home or to make for more happier living. Perhaps there is no phase of family life that is not touched upon in this department. Some students in other departments of our school may have the idea that we girls of the Home Ec- onomics Department only learn to cook and to sew. Well, you should come up and see us some- time and if possible remain for several weeks at a visit. Oh we learn to cook all right, but that is only one little part of it all. And when we say we learn to cook, we don't iust mean plain cooking, although we can do that to perfection. We mean plenty of fancy cooking, too. We learn how to prepare balanced meals for families of two, or for a score of people. We knew before we entered this depart- ment that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, but we soon learned after we came here that man does not live by bread alone. We soon learned that most human beings naturally turn toward the beautiful, so learned ways and means of injecting beauty into the home. We learned how to serve meals in the most attractive style. We learned how to decorate a table or a room attractively, whether we have much money or little. We learned much about wall and window decorations. We learned a great deal about floor coverings of every type, and oh, so much about furniture, - not only the various types for each individual room, but the proper placement thereof. H0 flanking Department Knowing that family life is often the hap- piest when children bless the home, we are taught every phase of child care. When we study this unit of work, we begin with the most simple processes of child care to the most intricate. We learn how to properly bathe a baby and it is not unusual when we begin this particular learn- ing experience to find a girl bathing a large rub- ber doll. The instructor will be near to point out different precautions and steps which must be taken in caring for a child. But oh, we learn so much more about child care than this that it would take pages to write it all down. Why, we are even taught the fundamentals of nursing, so that we can properly take care of our children when they may become ill. Another thing in which we receive instruc' tion is the family budget. This is very important because no homemaker can be called success- ful if she continually operates beyond the family income. With this in mind, we are not only taught how to buy properly, but how to get the most out of what we do buy. We learn many ways to alter and repair clothing, and even how to re- upholster furniture. Each girl in this department must complete a home project during the school term. The choice of projects is almost unlimited, but whatever the project, a careful record of time and money spent on it must be kept and submitted to the instructor for inspection. ln short, we girls of the Homemaking De- partment learn a thousand skills and everyone of them is practical to the last degree. H0 cmaking Drparfmcnf lt always gives one great satisfaction to create something with his own hands. The girls in this picture are in the process of creating new garments. You will notice the girl standing has practically completed a new coat and we see her trying it on. Not only do the girls in this de- partment become very proficient in sewing, but they are able to save their parents a great deal of money by creating many garments for them- selves. Have you ever stopped to think how import- ant refrigeration is in our homes? We depend on refrigerators to keep our meat, vegetables, dairy and poultry products from spoiling. Our deep freezers enable us to freeze a large quant- ity of our food and keep it for an indefinite period of time in perfect condition. We can buy large quantities of meat in advance, freeze it and then use it at our convenience. Refrigeration enables us to freeze garden produce and then have home- grown vegetables during the winter. Refrigera- tion makes it possible for housewives to set aside one day for baking cakes, pies, and other pastries which then can be frozen. lf unexpected guests arrive, all that need be done is to remove them from the freezer, let them sit until they are at room temperature, and the goodies are ready to eat, to be relished by all. Modern refrigeration makes possible the conservation of food and economical buying re- sulting in financial saving, and a better fed, healthier, happier family because the supply of excellent food is conveniently near and in perfect condition. ffomvmaking Deparfmmf In the F. H. A. department ot our school one ot the many things the girls learn is to make garments. The ninth grade girls shown in the picture are using patterns to make various kinds of garments, such as, skirts, blouses, clusters, and dresses. Each girl does her own individual work with Mrs. Thomas as an adviser. While one-third ot the class are making their garments the other two-thirds are studying foods. At the end of a seven-week period those class members making garments have a style show ex- hibiting their work to their classmates. In the Home Economics Depart- ment of Bedford High School stu- dents become familiar with many modern household devices to save time and effort. In the picture shown here of the electric power mixer, we get a good idea of one of the modern appliances with which our students work. Through experience in using machines these girls will carry out the fundamental function of the Home Economic class, preparing 'For future homemakers. The use of the electric power mixer, an advanced improvement in the American homes, has become not only a labor saver but has made for great efficiency. These modern devices make work much easier for the housewives than it was for their mothers and grandmothers. For instance, two or three minutes is an average time in which to pre- pare potatoes, cakes, icings, whip- ped cream, etc., by using the elec- tric power mixer. Physical Educaizan IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION The physical education program tor boys and girls of our school offers work of two types, a course ot physical exercise and a course deal- ing with the material, method and principles of physical education. Physical exercise must be taken by all stu- dents ot the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades unless they are excused from it by their family physican. Senior high students may take this as an extra course it their schedules permit. Calisthentics play an inportant role in the gym class. These exercises help students to achieve more healthy bodies by promoting strength and gracetulness. Throughout the school term the gymnastic sports vary. In the tall and spring the students engage in competitive soft- ball, tootball, and soccer. During the winter, vol- leyball, basketball, and wrestling are the popular sports. By participating, they develope skill in many activities suitable tor physical education or recreation and gain a knowledge of coaching tactics. Instructors do not try to make the physical education program so strenuous that their stu- dents will lack interest or fail to enjoy the activi- ties. Their aim is to provide ample opportunity tor the students to share and display results in team and individual sports. What is more important than having the training for keeping the body organs and 'func- tions healthy? The ability to apply this training, that is an important portion of the physical educa- tion program. Students learn to respect their bodies and know why it is unwise to abuse them. The ability to get along with other people and share their interests in physical activities as well as our social activities tends to relate phys- ical education to general education which is obtained through lite. The aim ot all well-planned physical educa- tion programs is to help students 'form correct habits of living. ,flflfdiml Zara The School Health Act provides 'for the com- plete medical and dental examination of pupils in the first, third, seventh, and eleventh grades. Medical and Dental examiners are required to make reports of their findings to the proper school officials and to the Department of Health. Medicial and Dental examinations shall in- clude X-rays and such other examinations that are deemed necessary by the medical or dental examiners. A follow-up of correctible defects is made by the school nurse and the results of these visits are reported to the proper authorities. 3 2 is .,, D ii' Vx. Zzrm and Wald Once upon a time, so long ago that we have no way of knowing iust when it happened, one of the more enterprising women of a tribe of prehistoric men decided to save some of the seeds that grew wild farther up the valley and plant them in the rich earth down by the river, near the spot where her family liked to camp. lf they grow, the grain will be ripe when we drive the flocks back this way, she said to her- self, and that will save me no end of trouble - to have it right here at home. lt turned out iust as the lady had hoped. Yes, farming is important to our lives. Ever since men discovered the great use of the land they have come to depend on it. Oh, we may raise some vegetables in our gardens, but what of the people in the city? They are one of the most important reasons for farming. These people live in a non-producing area. lt is for them and for the handicapped that our farmers are work- ing. Even the ones who live in the rural areas can not all farm to feed themselves. There is cther work to be done also, like making machines for the farmer. Thus nearly everyone depends on the land laborers for food, and dairy products. lndirectfv though, the farmer helps us in other wavs. We obtain mawy by-products from his chief crops or herds, for instance, glue from the hoofs of beef. Yes, farm by-products greatly aid people. There was the grain when they came back again, and very good it was, for she had been clever enough to clear a little land when she planted it. The other women were delighted at the new idea of a crop right at their finger tips. Thus was farming born and this back-break- ing occupation still exists today. But why has such a hard tiring job remained alive in our genera- tion? In every other iob machinery is taking over. Of course, there are farm machines, but not so many as in other lines of work. grzrm and Weld The farmer constantly looks to the future. It is his duty to improve his crops and herds and to assist the scientist in any way he can. He must work earnestly and constantly at experiments, witnessing failure after failure. To aid the farmer and to become good farm- ers, young boys in high school enroll in the agriculture course. We at Bedford High School are extremely proud of our agriculture depart- ment and our Future Farmers of America. The boys in this department consist of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. These young men are required to take several agricultural courses, and while the rest of the school is vacationing, they continue to work on their farms. Each student must finish a project during the year. Many boys complete two or more projects. This is a very busy group. Each year these boys attend the Pennsylvania Farm Show and bring home prizes. Whenever there are agricultur- al talks at the County Court House they go To hear thern. All during the year the boys take turns visiting each other's farms. Doing this makes each boy work harder to make his farm and project succeed. Not satisfied with their bi- monthly meetings on school time, they often meet in the evening. Every year the boys board school buses and head for Penn State University to view the well-known agricultural college. Yes, Bedford High School is very proud of her agriculture department. We desire to help to make better farmers, for better farmers mean a better and stronger America. In the two accompaning pictures we see two typical boys in our school working on creat- ive projects in our Industrial Arts Department. With proper instruction, it is amazing how skill- ed some of these boys become in the use of power machinery. Many articles created by these lads bear all the ear-marks of having been pro- duced by the hands of a master artist. lt is a beautiful sight to see the personal joy and satis- faction these boys derive from creating some- thing really fine with their own hands. -93 The acetylene welder is the most useful tool The toolroom is the most important section of the shop. In the toolroom is a foreman who keeps the tools and other equipment in tip-top shape for use at any time. This kind of work gives the fellows experience in maintenance work and cleanness. When tools are taken out of the toolroom, the person taking them out is in charge of them. If they are broken he must pay for them or re- place them himself. 9111144 and Weld in a 'farm shop. Here, a student, learning to use this device in our well equipped shop, is getting experience that will prove beneficial on his own farm. The welder makes break downs less costly and restores valuable implements to normal use with a minimum of lost time. Power tools are fast becoming very import- ant. With the fast moving modern trend of our day the plummer and the farmer need some tools to step up their work so power tools came into being. For instance the power plane does in a few minutes the same ammount of work it used to take hours to do. -94 Zzrm and 9614 FERTILIZER ANALYSIS For years farmers have been buying fertil- izer without giving any thought to its composi- tion, These future farmers are learning how to test the soil to find out what kind of fertilizer is best suited for it. The boys in the picture have in bottles some samples of ground which is to be tested. The number and variety of projects made in a single year by our vocational boys would be surprising to anyone not familiar with this department of our school. These projects range all the way from small items such as the student is working on in this picture, to large expensive items such as forage wagons or grain conveyors. Projects constructed by our students are not made in a careless or haphazard manner, but the greatest of care is taken to make the product exact in every detail. Notice in this picture what pains the boy is taking to have the measure- ments of this item exact. Most items produced here will defy detection from factory-manufactur- ed products. lfumfh Kvvm-Kefueling Here we see a few of our students as they file by The rather long serving counter. The hot foods are served from the steam tables as The students pass through the kitchen, while The cold items of The lunch are served frorn The counters we see here. From The smiles of These students, we assume that some- thing special is on The menu Today. lt would appear from This picutre that not only students in our school re- fuel at noon time. Here we see several members of the faculty as well as Dr. Ed- ward Shields and Nurse Morse of the medical staff, storing away some of the delectable food which has been so tastefully prepared by our excellent cooks Since we have about nine hundred students in our school, it is necessary to serve thern in Three shifts. The students are called by rooms and Then they Take their places in line and file past The cash- ier who collects Twenty-five cents from each one in exchange for a meal check.

Miss Barbara Wertz, pres- ident of the Student Council is talking here with Dr. Mays, Dean of Juniata College and principal speaker of the evening, and Mr. Authur Townsend of our own high school. Barbara did a 'line iob at presiding over our third annual College Night affair. We believe all students who are thinking of going to college are greatly benefitted by attending College Night. ion t Hrfllcge Night College Night was well attended last fall. Students, in many instances, accompanied by their parents were in attendance from nearly every high school in the county. The committee had prepared some tasty morsels for the visitors and here we see a few of the guests as they tile past the refreshment tables.

The chorus is under the direction of Mrs. Miriam Motto, who is doing her best to improve this musical group. This organization is composed of a select group of sophomores, iuniors and seniors, whose primary interest is singing music skillfully and enioying the peace of mind which music plays an important part in creating. Very fine coaching, a knowledge of music, and an interest in it makes this organization successful. Helping to create fine music are the two accompanists of the chorus, Agnes Barefoot, a senior, and Harriet Fletcher, a rumor. Again in T955 as in previous years, B. H. S. was represented at district chorus by Mary Snyder and Agnes Barefoot, second sopranos, Gail Kochendarfer, first alto, Ronnie Bowser, first bass, and Larry Claycomb, first tenor. District chorus meeting this year was at Somerset, Penn- sylvania. Vocal instruction is very important to a person who is interested in music. There are many times in life when people who are talented in music and have trained voices, may be able to realize great personal satisfaction in singing for others. Therefore, it is very important that the members of the chorus try to do their best in training their voices and learning techniques which contribute to skillful singing. One nice thing about singing is the fact that there is a great variety in songs. The chorus sings popular songs, folk songs, classical and religious songs. No matter what mood a person is in, there is always a song to fit that mood. In the future we hope to see even a better chorus, but we must admit that our chorus is improving year after year. We wish all the luck in the world to the future choruses of B. H. S. .flflajcfrcffes Jeepers, look how high They Throw it!

What day would be complete without the band period at BHS? Not one day would be the reply of some one hundred students who belong to the BHS Blue Band. These skilled musicians meet every sixth period to practice the music they will play at football games, assemblies and their own band concert. Under the able direction of Forrest W. Hunsicker, this blue and white band will march onto any tield headed by a tine group ot rnaiorettes and make the spectator turn his head when they play a march, or stand a little straighter when they play the national anthem. Perhaps you have wondered how such a band comes to be. It all starts in the grade school. When students get the chance to play musical instruments, they pick what they think they like best tnd try them out. Finding they like music they begin to take lessons. Once a week they meet with the instructor and play their assigned work. These boys and girls practice about a halt- hour a day, but many exceed this, and practice more. Those who show extra interest and put in extra time will most likely be the ones who eventually become members ot the band and become tine, skilled musicians. No matter what the instrument, from trumpet to drums, they all take practice and more practice. -100- Hand Front: Janie Koozer, Barbara Exline. Row One: Jacob H.

If not, he may con- tinue taking lessons until he reaches the level of skill required. Finally the day has arrived and he is a mem- ber ot the band. He takes his seat at the end of the row ot instruments in his section and every- one gives him a hand. Now he has to practice even more to keep up with the others in his section. His single dream is to be able To one day sit in the first chair and be as skilled as the person who leads his section. This is the way it is today. Usually the sen- iors or juniors occupy the first chair in the sections --lOl- r and play the main parts while the new players in the band play easier supporting parts which are iust as important, however, for it takes every player and every note to make good music. Certainly good music was what The BHS band played on its annual trip to the Band Day celebration at Penn State. Represented in the State F. F. A. Band, State Orchestra, :listrict bands and other groups will be members of our band, and those that go will make a fine showing. I believe the comment by a seventh grader covers the whole thing, Golly we've got a good band. Dance Hand The Bedford High Dance Band, more com- monly known as the Blue Jesters, is under the direction of Nlr. Hunsicker. It is comprised of thirteen members from the regular band who are interested in playing and understanding modern iazz music. Because the dance band is so much in demand, it is one ot the most active organizations in school. Regular Monday night practice with TOOOG attendance have made it possible tor the dance band to render that dreamy music so popular in assembly programs and at school dances. This group also furnishes dinner and dance music for various organizations around Bedford. The president, and head ot the trumpet section, is Dave Trimmier. Other officers are Joe Mock, business manager, and Betty Judy, secre- tary-treasurer. The whole band divides into three sections. The rhythm section is made up ot drums, Bob Reese, bass violin, Harry Evans, piano, Harriet Fletcher. The brass section consists of three trumpets and two trombones headed by David Trimmier and Jesse Koontz respectively. The reed section has two alto and two tenor saxophones and one baritone. This section is headed by Joe Mock. ln recognition of their service, seniors in the dance band are awarded a silver key. Eight members are eligible tor keys this year.

Then after the practice gets started, everything goes smoothly until Mr. Hunsicker Tells one of his jokes. Sometimes I wonder it the group is laughing about the joke or about the fun Mr. Hunsiclcer gets from telling it. Much later, after a good hour of practicing, many members of the Blue Jesters pile into Joe Mock's car and head for some place To get a refresher before going home.

When word came that Uncle Fred had left his country place and was headed for town, the family was in great consternation. Uncle Fred got his greatest pleasure from dragging his re- luctant, teen-age nephew Pongo through one bewildering scrape after another. It's no wonder the unfortunate Pongo regarded Uncle Fred as he would a sack of dynamite he found blowing up in his presence. One time Uncle Fred insisted on taking Pongo to Mitching Hill - a suburb - and since it started to rain, calmly pushed into the nearest home and took over! lt's there they met a beautiful girl and Pongo was forced to pretend he was a veterinarian. This was difficult for Pongo had fallen in love with the girl at first sight. When the girl's obnoxious suitor ar- rived, Pongo could hardly contain himself. Uncle Fred, however, involved them deeper - even to the point of having the police pick up two suspicious looking characters who happened to be the owners of the house they had pushed into. The part of Uncle Fred was taken by James Nliltenberger, Pongo's part was played by Jack Beaver. Other parts were taken by David Living- ston, Winifred McClintock, Mitzi Bauserman, Thomas Gray, Jack Breidenbach, Beverly Hull, Edward Rohm, Louise Miller, Kay O'Brien, Made- line Layton, Diane Mesimer, and Jay Neatrour. 5 junior C7r1.s's Play Rodney Dodd, whose ancestors were in- valids, believed he could not be normal so he spent most of his time in a wheel chair. Rodney's Aunt Myra, who was the nervous type came to visit him. The house had to be kept extremely quiet, so Jodwillow, the butler, and Henrietta, the maid, did their best by walking on their tip- toes. Charlotte Allen, Aunt Nlyra's companion, overwhelmed Rodney so that he had a relapse and sent for Doctor Bell. Hearing the doctor talk about a dying plant he thought it was he. ln his remaining hours, Rodney wished to show him- self brave and charitable so he sent evidence to the newspaper to convict a gangster named Scorpio, and also gave his house to a girls' school for a dormitory. Rodney awakened in the morning to find himself still alive. Seeing him, Henrietta fainted thinking he was a ghost. Ned Steerwell entered seeking Doris Win- throp, one of the girls from the school who wanted to be the first to sleep in the new dorm and who Ned thought Rodney kidnapped. She and her friend Maribelle, without Rodney's knowledge, had slept in the house that night. Scorpio, having read in the newspaper that he had been exposed, sent Rodney a bomb, then he came to get him to be sure that he died. Aunt Myra by this time was ready for a nervous collapse. Jodwillow succeeded in perfecting his in- vention of Willow Chloriphide and put all offend- ing individuals to sleep. -l09- Barbara Walker, elected Football Queen and Dick Deibert, Football Captain who automatically became Football King. U16 17? kin flap The Pigskin l-lop is an annual traditional dance held at Bedford High School in honor of the football players. The idea started years ago when students thought something should be done to honor the football team for their hard work and practice to have a successful year. This year's football queen was lovely Barb- ara Walker, one of our Six Cheering Bisonettesfl Her attendants were Marlene Weber, .lane Koontz and Saundra Sellers. The queen was escorted to her throne and crowned by Dick Deibert, captain of our successful football team. Afterwards she was awarded a corsage of red roses. Then our queen was led in the next dance by the captain, with other couples advancing onto the floor. The music was supplied by our own Blue Jesters. An assortment of dances was held. Some of them were the Bunny Hop, and the Hokey Pokey. The High School Dance Band furnished fine music for the Students and faculty members alike enioyed dancing at this Pig-Skin Hop. joyous occasion.

All of the Freshmen boys and the Junior boys made excellent appearances, but when the points were all totaled up, the Sophomore Class was tops. In fact, some people think that the Sophomore Class has the best athletes in the school. Pictured here is Barbara Walker who made a splendid showing for the Junior Class, although the Soph- omore Class won the trophy. The Soph- omore boys were all in agreement that without the help of the girls, the class could not possibly have won the trophy. So, don't forget, girls, the Field Day cannot be a success without your help and cooperation. mi... mn This picture shows Mr. Miller, one of our mathematics instructors, trying to keep an accurate account of all the points that Donna Hengst is making for the Sophomore Class.

Yes, a Bedford High School sports event would hardly be complete without our varsity cheerleaders leading the students in yells and cheering our team to victory. The varsity cheerleaders for the school-year 54-55 called themselves the Six Sisters. Their work has been well done and their cooperative ideas were combined to help bring school spirit once more to B.H.S. The sextet saw a winning season this year in nearly every sport. They certainly can be complimented upon their achievement in raising school spirit. Co-head cheerleaders, Margie Shields and Marlene Weber were responsible for the squad, but certainly could not have gotten along with- out the help ot Barbara Hunt, Barbara Walker, --HZ- Deanna Miller, and Judy Oravetz. The loss ot Margie, Marlene, Barabara Walker, and Barbara Hunt, the tour versatile seniors, will be greatly felt next year, but we shall look forward to watching the up-and-coming underclassmen 'iake their places. Being a cheerleader is an honor as well as a responsibility. To maintain the standards of good leadership, it means keeping a clean school record, having loyality, being honest, and de- pendable. These six lassies deserve a great deal of credit for a good job well done, but they will be completely happy it in the future years, a high degree of school spirit is maintained in dear old B.H.S.

Harold Wilkinson began his coaching career as an assistant at Duquesne, Pennsylvania. He coached football, basketball and track at Baldwin Township and came to Bedford from Clairton High School in 1950. Contrary to the teams of '52-'53, the team of '54-'55 has proved to be quite successful, and the school looks forward to a very bright future. The improvement made in the team has been due tothe splendid cooperation ofthe boys. Realizing what a fine iob the coach is doing, plus the willingness of the boys to get in there and fight, the football teams' success in the future years should be overwhelming. Hats off to you, Coach Wilkinson. -ll3- Harold C. Wilkinson W BOB HUNT played guard and was worthy of a letter, especially for the valuable experience he gave the varsity in preparing for the big games on Friday night. Bob was small but was rugged and determined. DAVE WILKINSON was the field general for three years. His spirit and determined play- ing was contagious to his fellow team-mates. He would rather play football than eat. We will long remember him carrying the sneak play for forty yards in the Ferndale game. The fans will miss his vicious tackles on defense next year. ALTON WHITCOMB came into his stride dur- ing his senior year when Salathe was iniured. He took over the defensive fullback job and gave everything he had which is all any coach could ask of any player. DICK DEIBERT sometimes reminded us of a big bear as he pushed, slammed, and snorted about the field. He was definitely the best tackle in the game every night Bedford played. The fans will never forget those booming kickoffs which sailed back over the heads of our oppon- ents. JOHN SALATHE came from a football family and played hard and decisively at the defensive fullback position. His hard tackling saved many a long run. We are certain if he had not been iniured, he would have been Bedford's greatest on defense. LARRY DIEHL finally grew to be six feet tall, an ideal height for a pass-snatching end for which he surely established himself. We will never for- get those spectacular catches in the Shade game which led us to victory. EMORY HOWSARE played defensive right halfback. Pete was a speedy little scooter who could cover a lot of ground in a short time. His ability to shoot through the tinniest hole in the opponents' line was remarkable. We will miss this spunky, hustling football player next year. JOHN BAKER looks like a guard and we know he played like a football player many times bigger than himself. He is the perfect example of the watch fob type of player. Every ounce of muscle he possessed was made to work for his team. He is a good exhibit for a coach's rule of clean living. JACK WERTZ shifted from end to play tackle his senior year. He was the little bear on the other side of the center. How can anyone ever forget those perfect blocks or our famous punt returns? ROGER BAGLEY was this year's fullback on the offensive team. lt is not important how many touchdowns he made but how well he worked with the team that the fans at our school will long remember. When we see an army tank roll- ing down the street in the future we'll think of Roger. JERE CESSNA played guard for two years then moved to tackle and finally took over the iob at center in I954. His offensive playing did not go unnoticed even if he appeared to be hidden in the center of the hive. We know any play that worked had to begin with Jere at the right time, and the plays always worked. Varsity Qrfofbrzll September I 0 La Salle I 7 Somerset 24 Shade Twp.

Mr. Robert Clell Andrews, a native of Johnstown, Pa., has been on the Bedford High School faculty since the 'fall of 1953. He is a teacher of science and social studies as well as being head basketball coach. Mr. Andrews attended Bloomsburg State Teachers College where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree. He is a member of Kappa Delta Pi and Pi Sigma Pi which are both honarary fraternities. He says that during his entire life, basketball has been his main interest. He played high school and college basketball and was fortunate in playing professional basketball for the Johnstown Clippers and the Altoona Indies for a short period. The nickname Smokey was acquired in 1929 when Nr. Andrews was three years old, but he refuses to comment on the reason for receiving that particular name. Mr. Andrews has been happily married for five years, but thus far the home has not been blessed with a child. His wife, Ann, at the present time is teaching school in Johnstown. Mr. Andrews says that his plans for the future call for him to remain at Bedford High School and strive to build more successful basketball teams for years to come. with jaaiar Varsity Basketball Row One: John Cegg, Bob Yates, Bob Barnhart, Norman Bussard, Larry Claycomb, Tom Beegle.

Koontz, native of Wolfsburg, Pennsylvania and long time biology teacher Of B. H. S. is also the head wrestling coach. Wrestling was started here at Bedford in T937 under the supervision of Mr. Koontz with the help of the faculty and administration. This year ends 18 years of coaching for him. During college he had some wrestling ex perience and this was one main factor that lead to the beginning of a team here at B. H. S. Mr. Koontz can remember good teams in the past, but can honestly say that this year's squad is the best balanced team Bedford ever had. The thirg he likes best about coaching wrestling is the competition. Mr. Koontz attended first grade in the country and the other eleven years in Bedford Borough schools. He also attended Gettysburg College and obtained his B. S. degree there. Mr. Koontz also has his M.Ed. degree from Penn State College. He is a 'nember ofthe Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. As most of us know Bedford vvon the Dis- trict Five Championship and Mr. Koontz certainly deserves credit for working hard with the boys this year. He claims he could not have gotten along without the services of Mr. Clark and Captain Pete Howsare. Mr. Koontz remarked, Most certainly the fellows should be praised for their determination to win and Work hard. Future plans at present are to continue his teachings here at B. H. S. Seeeue!
