Sproul. He came to Bedford this year from Indiana County, Pennsylvania, where he held the position of high school principal for two years. His next position was that of Supervising Principal of the United Joint School District. All his work in the educational field previous to this had also been done in Indiana County. His first position was teaching in the Homer City High School. Later he was a teacher of commercial subjects and assistant principal in the Green Township High School. Mr. Davis graduated from Elders Ridge High School in 1939. Upon graduating from high school he attended Indiana State Teachers College where he re- ceived his Bachelor of Science Degree in I943. Then he began working toward his Master's Degree in Education which he received inl949 from the University of Pittsburgh. At the present time he is working on his Doctor's Degree. Mr. Davis is married to Maxine Por- ter Davis, also a graduate of the Indiana State Teachers College. She majored in Art and received her degree in l945. The Davis's have two children, Robert Christopher, who is now attending the tirst grade at the Bedford South Elemen- tary School, and Debra Porter, who was born January I6, I954. Mr. Davis is a veteran of World War ll, having served a 34-month term with the army. His hobbies are tennis, swimming and hunting. At present, however, he has very little time to engage in his favorite sports since his graduate work and other professional duties require so much of his time. MR. ROBERT W. DAVIS B. S., M. Ed. Supervising Principal Bedford Joint School District Administration MR. A. V. TOVVNSEND High School Principal Perhaps the busiest man in our school is our Principal, Mr. Arthur V. Townsend. Mr. Townsend came to our school in 1931 and taught Vocational Agriculture for almost seven years. ln 1938, he was ap- pointed Area Supervisor of Vocational Agriculture for Bedford and Blair Coun- ties. He held this position until the fall of 1945 when he returned to B. H. S. and resumed his former position as instruc- tor of Vocational Agriculture. He was elected to the position of High School Principal in the fall of 1948. ln his posi- tion he performs many duties. He serves as Faculty Manager of Athletics, Ad- visor to the Student Council, Treasurer for all school organizations and acts in many other capacities. Many of these tasks he feels can be done most quickly and efficiently by giving them his per- sonal attention. With the construction of our new building going on, Mr. Townsend is busier than usual. He can be seen dashing in and out of his office all day long. When there is a problem of any kind, Mr. Town- send. is the one to whom everyone comes. With the help of our able secretaries, Mr. Townsend has devised a new lunch room system which is quicker and much more efficient than the former one. Under this latest system the students have more time to eat. Mr. Townsend spent many long hours working on this in order to make it pleasanter for the students. No matter how busy he might be, Mr. Townsend finds time to listen to the prob- lems of faculty members and students, and in effect, has gained the reputation of being trouble shooter. Although he is busy at school, Mr. Townsend still finds some time to spend with his family. He and his wife. Lucinda, who were married in 1933 have a son, David, who is at the present with the United States Navy and twin daughters, Jane and Ann, aged 15, who are in the freshman class of B. H. S. They all en- joy their garden and specialize in raising strawberries. Mr. Townsend is interested in wood working and has a well-equipped work bench in the basement. ford High's distinguished at- tendance director is a busy man. His duties vary from checking tardy excuses to checking the teachers' atten- dance records. It a pupil de- sires to be excused tram school he goes to Mr. Behrers. Mr. Behrers also teaches seventh and eighth grade arith- metic. His job is not an easy l one but he is able to till it with a great deal ot ease and ef- l fiency. Attendance Director Mr. David G. Behrers, Bed- WQSW' For some years the students ot B. H. S. have depended upon our school nurse, Miss Mary Morse. She came to our high school in the tall ot '35 and tram that time until this, she has been called upon in many emergencies which have occur- ed during school hours. Throughout the school year Miss Morse gives the audi- ometer tests to all students in the grade school and also to students in the high school. She assists the school doctor in the annual dental and physical examina- tions as well. No position in our school system is more essential to our weltare than the one held by Miss Morse. We all wish to thank her tor the swell job she is doing and has done in the past while at B. H. S. Miss Morse received her training in Memorial Hospital, Cumberland, Mary- land, and Children's Hospital, Washing- ton D. C. and has taken graduate work at Penn State. She is a member ot the Delta Kappa Gamma Society. School Nurse SHELDA WHYSONG ROBERT C. ANDREWS, B. S.. Bloomsburg Teachers College '5lg carne to B. H.

Engineers Left to Right NORMAN MILLER, LEROY BLACKBURN, RAYMOND HARRIS, LUTHER ROSE. lf someone should ask what elements or factors are necessary to have a smooth running and successful school, most peo- ple would answer, A teacher and a pu- pil. But think what would happen if we didn't have any engineers. As the days would go by, the dust would gather and soon you would have to carry a scoop with you and make a path to your class- es. When someone shouts, Mr. Rose, the drinking fountain doesn't work, he jumps and has it fixed before you leave school for the day. When the teachers send up an S. O. S., the engineers come a-running to help them. ln snowy weath- er, when it is sleeting and snowing and there is ice cn the walks, you can count on our engineers to get it off. Do you like to wash your hands in cold wcter? Did you know the engineers are responsible for the hot water, the borax which we use? They are also responsible for the clean and sanitary washrooms. Who keeps the windows clean? No one else but our engineers. When it is wet outside ' 'cl everyone tracks mud and dirt in the building, you wonder who will ever clean up such a mess. lt is gone before lunch time. Our engineers did it. What would we do without the engineers of Bedford High School? V1 r D 'mm x,f-DMQX VS 5 Z wxxqg 3 W 2 3 VX .X uxffiyiks A A ' kt 'S Qgif Xmqi Ya' 'Qi F get ff? ' I QQ divx is is 9' ' A gf.

ROW -34- Courses af Bedford High School offers its students five distinct courses of study each with a specific educational objective. Thus the needs and in- terests 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 require- ments of liberal arts colleges and technical schools as well. lt may be added that the stu- dents 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 ed- ucation 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 admission 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 Q certain field may choose elective subjects pertaining to this field. Also a student who has not de- cided exactly what he is going to do after grad- uation may take this course. In this way he at- tains 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 preparing to become secretaries or clerical workers. The backbone of this course is typing and shorthand but in addition the students take bookkeeping, commercial arithmetic, salesmanship, and other subjects of this gen- Bedford High eral nature. The Commercial Course is also designed to make him familiar with the opera- tion 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 l2O words per minute by graduation time. He also must be able to type 60 words per minute. 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. lf this course is completed satisfactorily and perhaps fol- lowed 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 lO 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 responsibility 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 independently at home, rely- ing on their own initiative. Certainly this course prepares a girl for any domestic situ- ation 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 0 supervised farming program in which the boys plan, do the work, and keep records on their different projects. 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 projects also serve another pur- pose. 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. ffx, f A f 'fffff pw ff w It T 1 Q. 6 X , va- wk Q Xb!!

K ...Q Sfudenf Council Quite often when we think of school govern- ment, we associate it with the Student Coun- cil. This democratic organization is composed of representatives, elected annually by each class, who serve as members all through their high school career. lf, by chance, a homeroom is not represented, that teacher appoints a person for one school term. The purpose of Student Council is to pro- vide citizenship training, to promote general school welfare, and to provide a means for student expression. Most of the projects which the council sponsored did just that. To provide citizenship training they held an annual elec- tion in which officers for each class were cho- sen democratically. This year a new project of electing a Citizen of the Month was tried. It proved to be quite successful. The promotion of general school welfare was taken care of by a committee who cleaned out the trophy case and shined all the trophies. Besides this, the council sponsored the Blood- mobile, normally a community project, with all members soliciting for blood. When it comes to a means for student expression , this is the chief reason for the council. Any pupil may give his representative suggestions for improvements around school, and he can be certain that they will be discussed in the meeting held every Monday. Besides these projects, the Student Council has quite a few social events. The Pigskin Hop, Christmas Formal, and square dance are an- nual affairs, but this year a dance for the basketball players and wrestlers was also held. All were successful and enjoyed by everyone who attended. Another very important event which the Student Council sponsors each year is College Night. The council, in co-operation with the Guidance Department, invited representatives from various schools chosen by the students. These representatives answered any questions about their respective colleges, thus acquaint- ing the juniors and seniors with their schools and the courses offered. This aids them in choosing the college they wish to attend. At the State Student Council Convention held in Beaver Falls, our council was repre- sented by Janie Easter, president, and Judy Oravetz. These conventions are very impor- tant in that councils from all over the state meet and exchange ideas, help solve any existing problems, and discuss ways of improv- ing the Student Council. Judy and Janie re- ported their findings to the council. With these suggestions in mind, the Student Council strives constantly to improve our school and our community, very important fac- tors in the lives of Bedford High Students.

This club is composed of sophomore, junior, and senior girls who usher for the various events. These include commencement, the band and chorus con- certs, the junior and senior class plays, and many other activities. A girl who desires to join this organization must submit her name before the group and if elected becomes a member. A head usher is also elected by the ushers themselves, and this year she is Janie Easter. These girls are courteous and efficient and certainly deserve our appreciation for a job well done.

There are between fifteen and twenty girls, all sophomores, juniors, and seniors. These girls give up a study hall for each period they work in the library. Small tasks are given to each one of the library aides. They check books in and out, prepare new books, work with displays, shelve books, deliver over-due slips and attend to many other necessary things. These library aides help make the library a more pleasant place for us. By cooperating we, the students, can make this volunteer work more enjoyable. Dffice Aides During each period every day there are two or three boys or girls who work as office aides. They give up their study halls willingly and it is purely a voluntary job. The duties include sorting mail, running errands, checking absentees, calling people to the office, answering the phone and other odd W One: Marjorie Ann Crist, nces Mellott, Shirley Bowers, es Mock, Robert Bowser. ol Jean Storrs, Donna Hengst, iam Lorrene Creps.

This saves work for teachers, the secre- taries andthe administration. Anyone who has worked as an office aid will tell you it is very interesting. The secretaries we have now are very nice and easy to get along with, which makes it a lot more pleasant. The office aides have proven to be a great help and have lightened the office load. .-61.- Photography Club lf your're a member of the great majority of picture-takers who click the shutter and then leave most of the work and most of the fun for someone else, . . . why? We have learned in our club that finishing your own pictures is easy-easier than taking good ones. Anyone who can follow simple directions can do it. Baking a cake is compli- cated by comparisong running an adding machine or a typewriter is infinitely more in- volved, and cutting boards straight or laying bricks are both ten times as hard to learn. Any- one can develop negatives who can pour liquid into a bottle, watch a clock for five or ten minutes, and pour the liquid out again, And making prints from those negatives isn't much more difficult.

A. is an organization limited to Junior and Senior Commercial Students. lt is supervised by Leonard Motto. The object of this organization is to promote interest and training in the general field of business. This covers everything from a clerical to the highest executive positions. This organization has had a most active and successful year. The activities of the F. B. l.. A. have been divided into projects. To start the year the organization had a very success- ful bake sale. From this they hope to help the school in some way. Another project was to interview students who were once active in the F. B. L. A. and have now ventured into the exciting and lucrative field of business.

They have Mother-daughter banquets, bazaars, bake sales, box socials, dances, roller skating, help people who are bed-tast, and send candy to homes. They share activities with the F. F. A. collect clothing for overseas, collect and re- pair toys tor orphans, enter competitions, have parties, send leaders to the state meetings, give awards to outstanding members, attend the Farm Show, and have demonstrations of skills at weekly meetings. The club meets once c week to discuss the happenings of other clubs and to see if there is anything that could be added to make it a better club. F ufure Teachers The Future Teachers of America Club was started in Bedford High School in l953 by boys and girls in the sophomore, junior, and senior classes who showed a deep interest in the teaching from all angles with such topics as the educational requirements, the opportuni- ties, the salaries, and the satisfaction derived. This year the club presented an assembly pro- gram Our Schools are Good Schools which was written by the members. They also pre- sented this same program over the radio. F. T. A.

This year the girls presented an outstanding routine at the Clays- burg football game. Co-operation has Q lot to do with the success of their routines. Al- though these girls have to work hard, they will all agree that it is worth it just to become a rnajorette and be one of the most talented and envied girls in school. This club is really to prepare girls for the future majorettes of Bedford High School. :. Hunfing and Fishing Club Someone made the remark, perhaps face- tiously, that if one is to become distinguished, he must like to fish. But really to speak in a serious vein, what sport is more enjoyable than walking along a stream with a fishing-rod in the hands? lt is a great thrill for ci young boy to catch his first fish.

F ufure Nurses The Bedford High School Chapter of Future Nurses of America is an organization com- posed of approximately twenty-five girls, They hold a meeting every Thursday morning dur- ing the activity pericd, with Miss Morse as director. She teaches the girls how to read a thermometer and take pulses. They also discuss the different techniques used in a hospital, They also invite nurses from neigh- boring hospitals to come and tell about their institutions, Each year the girls take a trip to a local hospital. The main aim of this organization is to help the girls decide which hospital they want to enter and what field they would like to work in after graduation. College Bound lt has always been known that the jump from high school to college is a big one indeed for most students. When a stsident enters college for the first time, he not only will be separated from his school chums of long standing, but he also will be breaking away from his home and loved ones for the first time. ln an attempt to mitigate the pangs of the first few months of college, the College Bound Club was formed this Year. The club attempts to discover and analyze problems which are almost certain to confront the college freshman.

Library Club The library club was just formed this year by our librarian, Miss Sexton. Fifty Senior high girls compose this club. The club helps girls prepare to be a possible librarian. lt gives them a chance to look behind the scenes of a library. The girls made displays in the library and bookmarks for the books. These Senior high girls read books, then discuss them, and finally exchange ideas about them. The library club had many extra activities this year. They entered a float in the Hal- loween parade, had a successful bake sale, and sponsored the caroling at Christmas time. lf interested in work of this type, it would be a good idea to join the library club. Hi-Lifes The purpose of the Hi-Lites, our school newspaper, is to inform students concerning school activities. lts articles contain news about different clubs in school, sports events, humorous happenings around school, human interest stories, a gossip column and editorials, This year the paper staff is publishing more and larger papers. ln the Hi-Lites Club, there are around thirty members. The paper staff consists of an editor-in-chief, two associate editors, two sports editors, three feature editors, and an exchange editor. The staff and other mem- bers of the club, with the help of Mr. Radle, the faculty advisor, receive and rewrite infor- mation, proof read, and distribute copies to students. S? 3 S -' . I.

Of all the clubs in Bedford High School, the Future Farmers is the largest and most active in many respects. Eighty boys make up this club at the present time. During the past year this club has made much progress. This club engages in such activities as the selling of vegetable seed, onion plants, tomato dust, rat poison, and Christmas greeting cards. The club also holds rollerskating parties and square dances.

Many of the boys are able to enter judging contests while on this latter trip. The club purchases pure bred animals and presents one to certain boys in the club to keep for their own, the only stipulation being that the boy will return the first female born of the gift animal.

And this isn't all by any means. The club regularly enters o tloat in the annual Halloween parade and more often than not, the club wins a prize. Last tall the club installed a window display ot the Robert P. Smith Fair. This year the club organized a rifle team. The boys that like to shoot a 22 rifle gather at the Bedford County Sportsmen ta rm each Monday evening. Boys from other schools also use the shooting range, so our members have some good competition. Each year the club holds a parent-son banquet. This gives the parents a chance to see how the club works and how the boys cooperate together. At this event the members get awards if they 'iave their pro- ject record books clean and neat and up to date. A boy may win any one ct three medals for each project. The medals are made from bronze, silver, or gold. It has been found that the awarding ot these medals is a great en- couragement tor the boy to dc his very best on his projects.

Her school lite con- sists of more than just tun, Our majorettes work hard and diligently for many hours to put on as good a performance as possible. Each routine the public sees, either at a toot- ball game, parade, or yearly band concert, must be created and worked out by the girls, Many wonder how one may become a majorette. First, in probably the seventh or eighth grade, a girl can join the twirling club. It this girl shows improvement and is willing to work, she should stay in the club. Secondly, she is required to ploy an instrument in the band. The final selection is in the hands of Mr, Hunsicker and the current drum major.

Among the many organizations in our school, one of the oldest and most active is our dance band, lt has been under supervision of Mr. Hunsicker since it started nearly twelve years ago and has practiced faithfully every Monday night preparing to play at some school or other social activity. The band plays for dances, suppers, assemblies and other special events in and around Bedford. The band is composed of fourteen of the advanced members of the regular Bedford High School Band. These members must have a special interest in dance music. Much like the regular band, the dance band is divided into definite sections. The rythm section is the first division and is handled by Harriet Fletcher at the piano, Gary Baker at the bass violin and Bob Yates at the drums. The brass division is composed of three trom- bones headed by Jesse Koontz, and three trumpets headed by John Wright. Last, but not least, is the sax section composed of one baritone sax, two alto saxes, and two tenor saxes. Playing lead sax is Sharlet Snyder. Since work cannot be done in School it must be done after school hours. On Monday nights the band has practiced all kinds of numbers from fox-trots to waltzes. To handle the many extras which arise, the band elects officers at the beginning of each year. This year's president is Bob Yates, the secretary-treasurer is Harriet Fletcher, and the business manager is Jim Dunkle. Although membership in the band requires much work and time, great pleasure and satis- faction are derived from this endeavor.

The chorus is a selected group of students picked from the student body by the choral director, Mrs. Miriam Motto. Membership in the chorus is based on a good voice, a fair understanding of music, and willingness to work. Chorus gives the students ci better under- standing and appreciation of good music. Each year our chorus holds a concert in Jan- uary or February and sends representatives to district chorus. College Night The fourth annual College Night was spon- sored by the Student Council and the Guidance Department of Bedford High School. lt was held on Wednesday evening, November 30. Juniors and Seniors from Replogle, Woodbury, Robert P. Smith, Saxton, Hyndman, Everett, Chestnut Ridge, and Bedford were in attend- ance. There were two hundred seventy-six students present. The program opened with a general assembly in the high school audi- torium. This was followed by conferences iri which the students conferred with repre- sentatives from colleges, technical schools. trade schools, nursing schools, and business schools. Following the conferences, during which time a student could consult with three or more representatives from schools in which he felt he might be interested, a social hour in the auditorium was held, refreshments were served and parents were given an opportunity to confer with school representatives. We feel that College Night is very benefi- cial in helping the students to arrive at a deci- sion regarding college. Students listen while experts from many colleges explain what is to be found of their campuses. Pig Skin Hop Carol Mickel, Janie Easter, Page DeLaney, Dee Miller, Dora Brown, Marlene Exline. The Pig Skin Hop has become a fairly well established event in our school and is looked iznrward to with much anticipation by a great many students. We can expect this social event to be held soon after the football season comes to a close, and its main purpose, of course, is to honor our gridiron heroes. Whether or not our football heroes have had a successful year, we still insist upon throwing this hop as one little piece of our appre- ciation. Everyone in the school cooperates in holding this dance, the faculty as well as the entire student body. Even our own extremely busy dance band, the Blue Jesters, played for the hop . The gym was decorated in our school colors, Blue and White. The main event of the evening was the crowning of the Pig Skin Hop Queen. The queen was elected from five nominees, who were picked by the whole school. The football players then selected the queen from the five nom- inees. The five nominees were Deanna Miller, Dora Brown, Janie Easter, Marlene Exline, and Carol Mickel. The one chosen for queen was Deanna Miller, who was crowned by Page DeLaney, captain of the football squad. Before the crowning took place, there was a dance contest weld, in both iitter-bugging and round dancing It turned out to be a big event.

When the curtains were pulled open the scene revealed a cozy library. To this library comes Mrs. Savage, a charming eccentric, played by Judy Phillips, who has inherited ten million dollars. Her grasping stepchildren, played by Joe Mock, Saundra Sellers, and Robert Hunt dis- approved of the way Mrs. Savage decided to spend her fortune. Fearful that they wouldn't inherit very much, they sent her to an insti- tution, hoping that they can eventually have her declared legally insane. At the institution Mrs. Savage made friends with people of the world of illusions. These bonds. characters were James Ott, Marlene Weber, Barbara Walker, Alan Morgart and Anna Mary Smith. John Salathe played the doctor in charge ot the home and Margie Shields, the nurse. This play was macle successful through the direction of Miss Learish and the aid of the stage manager Connie Manock, prompter, Barbara Hunt, properties, Dottie Farabaugh and Dick Deibert, and technicians, Wilbur Hengst, John Wood, James Shisler and Wayne Reighard.

When the audience assembled in the Bedford High School Auditorium on November l8, l955, they were due for quite a treat. This was a very exciting moment for many hard-working Juniors, who at that time staged their production of Too Many Dates , a comedy in three acts by Marrijane and Joseph Hayes. lt concerns the life of a typical fam- ily with two teen-age daughters. It deals with the many problems of the average teen- ager. One daughter, Louanne Miller, played by Judy Oravetz, has quite a few troubles and endless spats with her steady beau, Paul Chase, played by John Wright. The highly humorous characterization of Mr. Miller, the father of Louanne, was played by Robert Barnhart. He seems to be the one who always ends up with the nasty jobs, such as getting stuck with a evening of baby-sitting which should have been Louanne's. Mrs. Miller, a very understanding and devoted mother, was played by Margo Janssens. Now to complete this happy family there had to be a nosey littie sister, Betsy Miller, played by Ann Beegle. She did not approve of her sister's actions and was so glad that she could profit by her sister's mistakes. The climax of 'he play comes when Louanne finds herself without a date for a cook-out. Her friends, Eleanor and Alice, played by Jane Koozer and Nancy Grabill, get her a blind date with Paul, with whom she had just had a terrible misunderstanding. At the same time Paul finds himself without a date also, so his pals, Floyd ard Erwin, get him a date with Louanne. Floycl was played by Ronnie May and lrwin by Clair McVicker. You can just imagine what a big kick Lou- anne's and Paul's friends get when they meet at the party, but all ends happily. Eleanor Coleman makes an attempt to deliver a hard slap to Floyd Page. Floyd has been imitating the female sex. The hilarious Mr. Miller is told by his wife that they met on a blind date which she had arranged. Mr. Nliller practically floored by the information. ws' v Robert Yates and Sara Jean Koontz are in a festive mood. iLeftl Dick Shimer and his lovely companion take a little breather. 1Righti Prudence Deibert and her friends pose for the photographer who is ever on the watch for love- lies. To Juniors and Seniors, the biggest social event in our school year is their annual prom. It is the Junior's privilege to decorate the school auditorium, and they really go all out to do 0 superb job. They first choose a commit- tee and start to plan their decorations in the early months of the year. For the prom of l955, the Juniors Chose the theme of Lucky Thirteen, because the prom was held on Friday the l3th. The center of attraction was the wishing well, which was decorated to give a stone effect. Around the well was a white picket fence making path- ways to the well. The doorway leading to the aance floor was made in the shape of a horse- shoe, and decorated in fresh daisies and greens. On this was focused a green light. .-va,-ang. -dwg, Never a dull moment at the Prom.

The stage was decorated with a white picket fence and ferns, and the cyclorama was decorated with huge silver stars. The roof, symbolizing the class colors, was decorated with green and white crepe paper streamers. At the stroke of twelve midnight the prom broke up, and 220 of the people attended the breakfast held at the Elks Club, which was sponsored by the P. T. A.

Many people believe English is just another subject, but it is not. English is the backbone of school subjects. To be able to understand your other subjects, you must understand English correctly. lt is also necessary to be able to speak correct English. Often times people judge you by the way you speak English. So you see it really is important. In school is the best and most appropriate place to learn English. You are taught Eng- lish from the first year of school throughout the twelfth. Up until ninth grade you learn the fundamentals of English. Then in ninth grade you meet something new. It is called public speaking. Also, this year some of the freshmen have what is known as, A Picture Quiz Contest. Pictures taken from a news- paper are exhibited on the bulletin board for a week with the identification of each picture. Then at the end of this period, the identifica- tion is removed and questions are asked about each picture. The high-score in each section wins a free teen-age book, which he chooses himself. Every contestant must have entries three successive weeks. You also learn more grammar this year. ln tenth grade you study literature. Again, you have public speaking, which consists of giving a speech in front of the class. As a junior, you study further ad- vanced literature. Vocabulary is stressed more in this year than any previous one. Then as a senior, you start studying about Shakespeare and his works, among other things. English is a full, rich, and free-flowing com- munication art, which can not be appreciated unless you know something about it. Tennyson says the little child very early 'flearns the use of I and meg so rounds he to a separate soul. I am, and I am worth while -that is the beginning of know- ledge. The most useful studies are those which give us broad horizon. They are those that give us a sense of relation to the men around us and to the men who have lived be- fore us. We need to know not only how the other half lives, but how the other half thinks. The subject of English which a stu- dent studies throughout the last four years of his high school course, may be regarded as a composite of several subjects, to the instruction in each of which a definite part of the time is de- voted. These subjects are lil Litera- ture, both for supplementary reading, C21 Oral Expression and Compositiong C31 Written Composition, Ml Language Essentials, including the study of good usage, sentence structure, punctua- tion, spelling and diction. These divisions of the subject of English are, of course, mutually inclusive, and every lesson in an English classroom is a lesson in every one of these divisions. ln the seventh and eighth grades a pupil learns to speak and to write correctly pri- marily through conscious imitation. ln these two years, drill on essentials of grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure is given special emphasis. ln the ninth and tenth grades, language essentials must be retaught on a more mature level, a level which involves improved skill in manipulating a variety of improved forms. Finally, as the student's personality matures in the eleventh and twelfth grades, he begins to create his own need of language. ln the last two years of high school, he must be taught to assume greater and greater responsibility for his own improvement. Drill and systematic review have about served their purpose. The route to mastery is now largely through self-teach- ing. Of course the instructor makes every effort to guide the student through his English course by providing him with the necessary aids and suggestions that will rr-ake it possible for him to achieve a high standard of ac- complishment in all divisions of the subject. Many ninth grade students beginning the Lafin Latin is a dead language! l will never need it in later life. Why take it? lf you have ever thought that, you should think about the following questions and answers. Did you ever wonder where our English words came from? Have you ever looked at the architectural design of buildings and won- dered where these designs originated? Do you need a better understanding of sentence structure? Sixty per cent of our English words come from Latin words. For example, the Latin noun janus means door or opening, From this we get the name of our month, January. Many other words are formed similar to this. The early Romans had a marvelous talent for designing beautiful examples of architec- ture. Many of our buildings in Washington, D. C. are copied from these ancient structures. Studying Latin will give you a better under- standing of our present day culture as it has evolved from the past. lf you study Latin it will give you an un- derstanding of the different parts of a sen- tence. So, you see, Latin is not dead at all, but lives in many phases of the present. study of Latin, experience difficulties which they have not encountered at any previous time during their education. Often a student is weak in English word- power, but if he is to prepare himself to read l..atin with any degree of intelligence and sat- isfaction, it will be necessary for him to master about five hundred new Latin words, The words are very old, but they are very new to the student. Of course, the vocabulary is carefully selected and contains, with very few exceptions, only those words that occur with the greatest frequency in Caesar's Gallic War. Then too, some students are weak in English grammar thus making it the more difficult for them to understand the Latin construction. cient times, France has been sociated with learning. ln the iddle Ages the University of Paris s regarded as the seat of higher rning. Many of the great scholars that time thought it a privilege be able to study there, and along th Latin, French was taught. ench is very often used by diplo- ats and in diplomatic arbitrations agreements between or among untries. So it is a great asset r any president or high govern- ent official to be able to speak ench frequently. ln France itself ere are several different dialects oken and many idioms are pecu- r to different provinces and sec- ns. For several centuries the French ve exercised a great influence on e fashions of the world, particu- rly among women. Every year e showing of French fashions is ligiously attended by trade re- rters from the United States and e new line to be shown is guarded the fashion house like atomic crets or secret military plans. French How many of us in the United States of America have ever stopped to realize that if the French had been able to defeat the English in French and Indian War, we might now be speaking American French instead of our present American English? American French would likely have sounded similar to the present day French Canadian. Since quite a few English words have been derived from French, a knowledge of French is very helpful in building a sound English vocabulcry. We can say that ever since the fall of Rome, the French language has been associated with nobility and learning. ln the more cultivated circles of society, French is considered the language of the highly educated. Since -89-- This class in civics tackles the problems of the community with a determined spirit and a will to v n. Social Studies To know nothing of the past, said an an- cient philosopher, is to understand little of the present and to have no conception of the future. Of all the branches of human know- ledge, none is so essential, none is so exciting, none has such practical daily usefulness as l-listory. With the record of the past before us, we turn with serenity toward the present and move forward into the future armed for whatever may befall. Background and bal- ance are given to our judgements or events. insight and foresight, characterize our plans tor the future when we know the experience cf mankind through the centuries. The subject matter in the field of social studies ranges all the way from the pupil and his community to the wide world, and from the living present far into the distant past. This makes it both important and profitable for a student to study this subject for at least tour years in high school. ln the ninth grade we study civics, which is a study of peoples and their government. This is one of the means by which the many immediate problems of youth may be clarified. Upon reaching the tenth grade we are exposed to probably the most interesting of all the social studies- Vxforld History. This is the study of peoples and their cultures from the beginning of time, Deep in the study of history t get the Christmas spirit of on earth, good-will toward and gives us a panoramic view of the world as it goes through each of its many stages. When we enter the Junior year we begin an extensive study of American history, which is one of the most profitable of the social studies. ln our Senior year, to climax our experiences in social studies, we undertake o thorough study of advanced civics, known as Problems of Democracy. P. O. D., as it is commonly known, is studied to find out the real meaning of democracy. However, it keeps track always of the personal element and aims to make pupils individually conscious that the problems under consideration are theirs as well as so- ciety's. tnese students be, they do no Mafhemafics Mathematics is the Science that treats of quantity and magnitude, embracing arith- metic, geometry, and analysis. Here at Bed- ford High School we boast a proud department of mathematics offering arithmetic, plane geometry, solid geometry, trigonometry, and two years of algebra. Arithmetic is at the base of the tree of mathematics, through studying arithmetic one learns the fundamental foundations for all future mathematics, he learns the basic pro- cesses. You must master these processes if you are to succeed in higher mathematics. Algebra is offered to Freshmen, and later in half year courses to Juniors and Seniors. Algebra is that method of general computa- tion in which letters or symbols are used to represent numbers of quantities in the solving of problems. Many equations are used in algebra, some containing several unknowns. ln algebra you also work with radicals, expon- ents, roots, and graphs. Plane geometry is a full year course offered to Sophomores. lt has to do with plane figures and their relationships to one another. You start with a straight line, and work through angles until you are able to solve problems involving many shaped plane figures. Solid geometry is a half year course offered to Juniors, dealing with more than one plane, and relationships between figures in different planes. ln this subject you deal with the third dimension, depth, along with length and width. You progress from areas to volumes, and work with such things as cubes, spheres, cones, etc. Both geometry and trigonometry are required in such fields as architecture and engineering. Trigonometry is also a half year course. offered only to Seniors. Trigonometry deals with the measuring of and the relationships between the different parts of the triangle. You are able to compute distances without measuring them. The work deals largely with angles. Many of the theorems of geom- etry and trigonometry are present in everyday life. in Arithmetic. operating an automobile. Trigonometry, a course taught by Mr. Heacock, is an interesting and valuable subject, both to the stu dent who is preparing for engineer ing and to the student who will make use of i': in everyday life Seventh anc eighth grade stu dents are given practical problems Here we see students engaged in discovering the cost of owning and All Bedford High School Students are of- fered courses in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Biology is required of all sophomores. Chemistry and Physics are electives to be chosen by juniors and seniors. Biology is the science of life, the branch of science which deals with the phenomena of animals and plants with regard to their morphology, physiology, origin or development, and distribution. Our year of biology is a very interesting one, and enjoyable also. lt is our first look into the secrets of mother nature. ln biology class many interesting experiments are conducted as we study the many forms of Science Many cases of specimen insects are of great benefit to the Biology students in helping them in many ways. life. Our work with the microscope and other such instruments, as the bioscope, pictured here, is especially enjoyable and informative as well. Chemistry is that science dealing with the composition of matter, the changes in composition, and the changes in energy which matter undergoes. This definition is one of first things learned during our Chemistry course. The best liked parts of this course are the lab periods, in which we test and prove the things we have learned for ourselves. ln chem- istry many of the mysteries of life are ex- Physics students doing experiments involving torque Academic Chemistry students are studying the prob- and parallel forces. lems of a city purification system. Science plained, A good chemist can look at C1 piece ot wood and instead of seeing an oblong block of hard material, can see billions upon billions of carbon and hydrogen molecules. High school courses in chemistry may induce young men to consider chemistry as a vocation. Physics is the study of matter and energy and how they are harnessed by man. ln physics, we learn such things as when an ob- ject thrown up will come down, how for 0 rifle bullet will travel, why foam comes tothe top, We study principles of leverage, pres- sure, temperature, and the like.

At Bedford High School we hvae fine appa'atus and lab- oratories. When our new building is completed, we will have in it two fully equipped modern science rooms, with the two we have now, we will have one of the largest science teaching systems in the state. Let us remember that in this modern age, the field of science is ever increasing in size and importance, and our educational system must be able to produce young scientists as tast as they are needed. -.-an uv al! ,,...

The art course of our school offers students the opportunity to express individuality through their work. lt is directed by Mr Woh h . n as who tries to show students how to express beauty through art. Students are given the opportunity to ex- press themselves in several media--pencil, crayons, water colors, ink and pastels. While some may do this better than others, even the be in ' g ner can achieve a measure of suc- cess in aesthetic expression. Students are encouraged to draw objects or scenes of their immediate surrounding. Even though the creative experience should be universal, at least in the adult world, the appreciation ot the beauty created by others should be encouraged and guided at the high school level. In the broad sense ot the word, one is an artist when he enjoys things ot beauty which have been created by others. His environment should begin to reflect his aesthetic growth. This course is not designed to make pro- fessional artist out ot all students but rather to teach them the part that art plays in beau- titying their surrounding. Library Every day approximately two hundred high school stu- dents use the library. lt is an excellent place to go if you need references for a report or for just finding a good book or magazine to read. The library gets sixty-five different magazines to accom- odate the needs and interests of the many students. For general reading there are Life, Colliers, and Holiday. Seven- teen, Glamour, and Mademoi- selle are some of the fashion magazines read by many girls and, for the homemakers, there are Better l-lomes and Gardens, American Home, and Parents. The library also gets m a g a z i n e s pertaining to science, news, flying, educa- tion, drama, p l a y s, pho- tography, music, sports, and school. For students who like to read fiction books there are about l,225 books, all types, from mystery stories to animal stories. ln the non-fiction sec- tion there is a good selection of all kinds of books-history, sceience, religion, vocational, travel, literature, and biog- raphies and autobiographies. The card catalog is a good means of finding out whether a certain book is in the library or what a book is about. lt contains the name of the book, the author, and something about each book that is in the library. lt also gives the fi:- tacn or non-fiction number at a book so it can readily be found onthe shale There are six sets of encyclo- pedias in the library, which may be used by anyone, at anytime during the day. Commerce and Here we see a group of young men and women who during the next thirty or forty years will be the leaders in Commerce and Industry. Bookkeeping is the art at recording pecuniary or business transactions in a regular and systematic manner. lt gives the student a work- ing knowledge ot business records which are related to the needs of the community. Tax and payroll accounting, as well as generally accepted kookkeeping principles, form the curriculum. Ruled forms are provided for all work being studied and visual aids are provided where needed. The study is further developed along modern trends by the ex- tensive use of adding and cal- culating machines which pro- vide faster and more accurate results. Bookkeeping is a required subject for every commercial student and an elective to gen- eral students. A study of bookkeeping is just as useful tc a student desiring general business knowledge as it is to a student desiring a bookkeeping position. Managers of business enter- prises, need Ci knowledge ot bookkeeping in order to know how to plan, how to prepare budgets and how to record transactions. This is why kookkeeping is considered such an important factor in business today. -95- Business Shorthand and typing are two very important subjects in the commercial department. Both are useful in every line of work that you may do in the business world. To hold down the job of a secre- tary or any other type ot office work, shorthand and typing are requirements. Juniors and seniors each spent one period every day in typing class. ln the Junior Business Training course the sophomores have about eight weeks of typing. At the end ot the junior year the ccrmmercial student is expected to type at least forty words pe' minute. At the end ofthe senior year he is expected to type at least sixty words per minute. Typed material can be read more easily and much more quickly than that which is written by hand. Juniors and seniors are also re- quired to attend one class period of shorthand each day. About eight weeks is spent on shorthand during the sophomore year. Com- mercial students are required to take one hundred twenty words per minute to graduate. Short- hand is a means of speed writing which is later transcribed on the typewriter. Much individual instruction is given in the Com mercial Department. Homemaking The Homemaking Department prepares students for the future in their home, as well as their community. They learn how to work with their family, and with their friends. VVith the help of their teachers, the girls ad- vance in their studies and activities. The sophomores started things buzzing when their class was split into three groups, one group working on sewing, another on cooking, and the third on studies concerning their relations with other peoples. You probably have seen or heard about the handiwork of our skilled Season to taste, says the book, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating. seamstresses. Their evening gowns, skirts, shorts, blouses, or whatever they have chosen to work on, are known throughout the school. The cooking, you might have smelled. The girls started off cooking something simple and then worked up to a family dinner. The third Vocational students say there is no substitute for doing the job if one is really to learn how. group, working on improving personalities, made out a survey to find out the boys' opin- ions of certain personality traits. They also had several lessons on home management. Keeping the budget straight and learning how to balance it are big problems in the home of Homemaking today. The girls made several trips to the bank to become acquainted with the types of loans and ways to put on different plans. t'l'hey also study personalities with the idea of of choosing suitable mates. They took their lessons to heart in this particular study for several Seniors are being married following graduationl They can cook a meal for a family of two or a score of guests, which ever the case might be, and set a mighty pretty table too. To make the home more attrac- tive, they learn all about flower arrangements Learning to be a good cook is lots of fun if one can be with her best friends and chatter at the same time. 'wud' and interior decorating. The Junior High Department, where Home Economics is a required subject, is making headway in their branch of homemaking, too. They are making skirts now, no more aprons to slave over and then have no use for later. -99.- The play will be ready in time if we can judge hy the serious ex- pressions on the faces of these students. They are sticking to the simpler side of cook- ing and are working with biscuits, desserts, and some fundamental foods. Etiquette and good grooming as well as foods and nutrition are a must with them also. Yes, they are advancing far in their field. Homemaking The Vocational Home Economic students have home projects which require forty hours of work a semester. This is required by the state law so as to put to advantage the skills the students have acquired and learned. They have so many opportunities with which to work, for they have learned everything which is practical around the home. You may find them redecorating their homes-making their bedrooms a much more enjoyable and more personal room of their own. They would be cible to tell you and show you how to put to use There is something thrilling about being fitted for one's first evening gown. all of what they have learned about reup- holstering and refinishing furniture. They may put in hours as babysitters, waitresses in ci restaurant or having a garden of their own. They make rugs, draperies, and more clothing for themselves and for their family. Painting These Junior High students greatly enjoy mastering the many skills that go with good house-keeping. and papering walls is another project which they may undertoke. Yes, all of these and many more, for their choice is unlimited. But whatever the project, a careful record of time and money on it must be kept. They have ambitious plans for the Voca- Homemaking tional Department in the new addition. It will be like an apartment within a school, with the best of everything. There, they will have all the equipment needed to assist them in their studies of bringing up children. They will have places to serve the children food, dress them and even to play with them. The students will have plenty of working space for all sorts of hobbies, such as making pottery and children's toys. They will have actual experience in canning foods., freezing them and of course cooking and eating them. In Teaching the girls the proper way to wrap gift packages is just one of the scores of skills taught here. Q-ll their little apartment they will have Heywood- Wakefield furniture, which will include a sofa and two chairs, paneled walls that will open up into full length mirrors, a fireplace, a tele- vision set and o powder room. A garbage xl: WF' Proper table settings and manners are learned to perfection in this department. disposal unit, a stainless steel sink are a few ofthe conveniences that will help them in the kitchen. All in all the girls in the Home- rnaking Department can look forward to a wonderful experience in their new quarters. Carefully kept records are very important to the farmer. These boys are being taught how to keep them. The instructor explains where each cut of beef comes from and why others. Farm The Vocational Agriculture course is plon- ned primarily for farm boys who wish to go in to farming or some branch of agriculture. Each boy must have at least one project but some boys have as high as eleven projects. The projects are selected by the boy, his clad, and the teacher. Every boy has a project book and a Supervised Farming Program. ln the boy's project book he keeps all ex- penses, receipts, the time he works on his pro- jects, and the cost of labor. The Supervised Farming Program consists ot three parts. lil Productive Enterprise. l2b and Field Improvement Projects. l3l Supplementary Farm Practice. The Productive Enterprises are usually either animals or crops. This year there are about sixteen head of beet cattle, one colony of bees, sixteen acres of corn, fifty-eight head of dairy animals, fourteen acres of fruit, ten acres of garden, two acres of potatoes, six head of sheep, eighteen acres of small grains, titty-tive hogs and 5l7l chickens. Most of the beet animals are classed as baby beef and are shown and sold at the Bed- ford Fair. The dairy animals which are the most popular project calves, heiters, and cows. some are more expensive than -102- Two of our good students exhibit their prize cattle at the County Fair. Both field and sweet corn are grown. Layers and boilers are the most common classes of chickens. The improvement projects are projects that improve the home or the farm. They could be the painting of Q barn, roof, or the cleaning of an old rubbage heap. Supplementary farm practices are jobs done to obtain skill or to improve one's skill. A program of work is used in the agricul- ture course. This program is the outline of all work the Vocational Agriculture boys do during the year. tion. The program has three livestock rings, the sheep, dairy calf, and hog ring. For an ex- ample, we will use the dairy cclf ring. A boy is furnished with a heifer calf of the breed he wishes, and he raises the animal and gets it bred. lf the first offspring is a heifer, he must return it for another bcy's use. After he has done this he becomes full owner of his animal. lf the first offspring is a bull, the boy must either pay one hundred dollars for it or wait until his heifer is fresh again. In the program of work there is a list of shows in which boys participate. At the Bedford Fair they participate inthe baby beef, The study of magazines devoted to farm problems is an important part of each F.F.A. boy's instruc dairy, swine, and sheep shows. At other fairs, window displays, demonstration and booths are used. On the local chapter a corn show is held. Contest within the area are also held. They include project contests, parliamentary pro- cedure contests, public speaking contests, tractor driving contests and the area banquet. Some of the boys participate in state activ- ities like the Pennsylvania Farm Show, the public speaking contest and the state project contest. Another state activity is F. F. A. Week at Penn State. This lasts three days. Every More prize winners at the County Fair. These boys are justly proud of the fine cattle they are exhibit- ing here. Some of our students prefer to work with sheep. These were prize winners at the last County Fair. boy that goes must enter into a contest. The contests are agronomy, dairy judging, live- stock judging, tarm mechanics, and poultry. Some boys may be in the band or chorus. The agriculture department encourages its members to take part in some type at recrea- tion. Some of these activities are basketball team, horseshoe pitching, softball team, roller- skating party and square dances. This year the boys sold rat poison, mineral mix, seeds, onions, strawberry plants, and Christmas cards. The senior boys always go on a trip. The last trip was to Beltsville, Maryland. No phase of farm needs is over- looked in preparing our boys to be good future farmers. DEGREES Upon entering the agriculture course a boy is eligible for the Greenhand Degree after he has completed plans for a satisfactory farming program. To merit the Chapter Farmer Degree o boy must earn S50 and have one year in the course. The next degree is the Keystone Farmer. The last two are State Farmer and American Farmer. On the Beltsville trip last year, the Ag boys spent two nights in Washington seeing all the important places. They also visited Fort Meade and Gettysburg. At Fort Meade, Maryland, they went through the living quarters, the gym, and Army recreational buildings. The boys saw a guided missle ready to be tired. At Gettysburg they saw the electrical map, the battlefield and other historical places. While they were at Beltsville the boys toured the dairy plant, the livestock area, and poultry houses. ln one building they saw plant nutrition experiments which included small grains they had never seen before. ..f...,' ' , t 'Wf.gj .. - ' These fine fellows will soon be l'f5t U'ft0 Brown Placeslthe win- uthe ham what amy ning ribbons upon the prize mother of many. 5 One of the high spots of our school around noon is the lunch room. This is always a happy place as they not only serve us fine meals for a auare ter, but we also get a break from classes. We are quite fortunate to be able to have a cafeteria even though we are inconvenienced by not having adequate equipment. Everyone is responsible and we must all co-operate to make our lunch shifts run smoothly. The seven women who pre- pare our food everyday with a minimum of kitchen utilities should be congratulated! The majority of our 90C students and the faculty of B. H. S. store away the deli- cious hot meals served five days a week. We know that everyone is very glad that he does not have to carry his Lunch Room -106- lunch as he once did. l arn sure some members of our faculty will agree with ua -in this point. At the present time we are forced to use our auditorium for the seating of pupils during the lunch shifts. We are look- ing forward to the day in the near future when we will have a cafeteria set aside from the rest of the school. Then we will be able to keep our audi- torium tidier and more attrac- tive for ourselves and visitors also. Our cafeteria has to ac- commodate not only high School students but many grade school students as well. We the students and faculty cf B. H, S. would like to take this opportunity to thank the seven women who think about us l8O days of the year.

Even though we have seven very effi- cient ladies who work full-time in planning the meals and preparing the food, there are a great many tasks which must be performed by other people. The rush period, of course, comes during the one and a half hour period when the food is served. This lunch period is broken down into three shifts, each being thirty minutes in length. But before serving time arrives, there is much, more or less, tedious work which must be attended to. Just think how time-consuming is the task of cut- ting about a thousand pattes of butter and placing each one on a small paper plate. Think how much time and energy is required to dish up seven hundred separate servings of fruit. How long do you think it would take one per- son to make fifteen hundred sandwiches? Think how long it would take one person to wash and dry thirty-five hundred pieces of silver. Many of the Cafeteria Aides pictured above assist with one or more of the tasks we have enumerated and may spend an entire period in or near the kitchen. Such students usually are rewarded for their service with a free lunch. But many of the aides perform such light tasks as selling lunch tokens or collecting tokens, or directing groups of stu- dents into the serving line. Such students receive no reward except the satisfaction of rendering a vital and necessary service to our school. Indeed our cafeteria could not be the smooth-running department that it is without the assistance of our aides.

The Athletic Committee of the Joint School Board decided to add baseball to the athletic program and to place Mr. Ned O. Whetstone in com- plete charge as Manager and Coach. The team did very well for the first season and we hope it will have a long and successful future. A boy will get out of any sport just about what he puts into it. Baseball has just as much future in it as any other sport. Most of our great base- ball players of today began playing while still in high school. ln fact, the younger one begins to play this game, the better chance he has of becoming Q really great player. Baseball is in common with the English game cricket. Baseball was played in America as early as 1778 when Washington's men played at Valley Forge. During the Civil War baseball followed the flag and wher- ever our armies went, the soldiers en- gaged in playing this great game. ln 1869 the first top salary of 51400.00 was given to a player by the name of George Wright. This of course, was for the season. ln 1928 Babe Ruth received 580,000.00 for the season. So it is evident that if a player is really good at the game, there are good possibilities of making some money in the sport. 1955 Baseball Schedule 1. Robert P. Smith Bedford '10 2.

Graduation from high school places a new responsibility on the individual, whether it be on to college, to work, and for whom, or to heed Uncle Sam's call. It is a new kind of thinking. Business and Government leaders are also faced with decisions, - that may well change the course of American history. In any event you can be proud to be from Bedford.
