With the addition of Peaches, a large record stoi and K-Marl, the number one discount retailer, the smaller shopping area of Southgate is once again providing jobs for students.

Without money there is not even survival. To put is simply, if you have no money, you have no Jobs, which produce the world we live in, are the single element keeping society to- gether. Without jobs, people would not be able to support families, pay bills, realize their needs, or just plain enjoy life. Yes, jobs play a major role in student life, too. With all of the student wants and needs, from the lowly T-shirt to the high priced car, money is an essential part of today's existence. The source of student income is usually a part time job, often time consuming and very tedious, interfering with school ac- tivities. For Ralph Lane, an OWE student at Burger Chef, or Dawn Tyler at York Steak House, after school meetings and homework become a real chore. Working students repeatedly find it more and more difficult not to end each semester with lower grades than their non working coun- terparts. Simply put, jobs interfere with the school jobs students face. The limited hours students have to offer often reduce the quality of the jobs available, usually resulting in lower pay.

A TOUGH HOAD TO CLXM8 Ever take your time getting ready for school and then get in your car and make a mad dash to beat the eight o’clock bell? Think about it; where would you be with- out the automobile? Weekends would be ruined, jobs would no longer be accessible, and chances are your social life would be- come non-existent. For Mark Corbin, even a used car is im- portant. iMark works at Pick-N-Pay in Solon and needs a car because he can’t depend on his working parents. Mark can’t always borrow his dad’s car for a date, so his own car is available for a drive-in movie anytime. A car is also im- portant to students involved in after school activities. Nancy Morrison needs her Vega after cheerleading practice to make it on time for her job at Stratford Jewelers. The graph shows soaring new car prices over the last ten years. Whatever the expense, most students put in a strong bid at home for a car of their own or frequent use of the family car. For some, the car is the ultimate, from the way it looks to the way it runs. For others, the car is just a means of trans- portation. Whatever the viewpoint, most students agree the car is their best road to freedom. Gaining valuable experience in maintaining a car is Tim Gallagher, an employee at Walton Hills Sunoco. Monica Milko, John Zarlino, Paul Donato, and Renee Zipp cruise in Paul’s car before school on a Monday morning. 3100 0560 Tfn------J9Z9 IWo 77w Wfi 7W Wfl fs TTfl 7Jrf 2 Opening The school parking lot reflects not only the fa- vorite means of transportation among students, but their differing pocketbooks.

A necessary evil, busses provide transportation for a “lively” Monday morning crowd. Often providing for a club outing, biking is still a means of transportation, especially in rurual Walton Hills. Opening 3 Two snack lines provide extras like potato chips, ice cream, or cookies for light eaters and stu- dents who carry their lunches. The main lunch lines offer a variety of four or five course chefs specials for a mere sixty-five cents. 4 Opening McDonald’s, the favorite alternative to school lunch, provides Peggy Furlong with much needed spending money. A pizza at Gina’s is the traditional post game ac- tivity to complete a Friday night. eating ncws wmc kncws mew? “How can I eat lunch in twenty-two minutes?” is a complaint heard often, especially since students are less than thrilled over the soy bean burgers and the ever popular mystery meat. The few cafeteria favorites were tacos, hotdog on a stick, and french fries. None- theless, the cafeteria is thought of as a place to eat and socialize, even though twenty-two minutes hardly gives students a chance to do either. Meg Stevens and Patty Kucharski abstain from eating any of the cafeteria food, venturing instead to McDonald’s to battle a Big Mac Attack, and eat up two periods in the process. The lunches are shorter than many would like, but the breakfast program hasn’t received any complaints. In twenty minutes students enjoy enough doughnuts and coffee to get through the morning. Seniors are able to stop into the social room for a snack to help get through the rest of the day. There is also the possibility of stocking a locker with a mini grocery store or slipping by the security guards for a walk to Dairy Queen. Having the choice of exactly what and where to eat is one of the more pleasant problems today. This ideal- istic viewpoint is somewhat hampered by time. Afterall, most people eat when they have the time, and finding the time to eat gets harder every- day. Katie Kovacs makes warm weather favorites at the Dairy Queen just a block away from the high school. Opening 5 THE MAKING OF A WEEKEND The almighty weekend is the most de- sired time of the school year. Friday has arrived, what happens next? The first step is a look at the resurging movie in- dustry. One can see new movies for three dollars and fifty cents, or older popular movies for ninety-nine cents at the Maple- town. “Starwars”, one of the most popu- lar films of all time, has returned the super-hero to the movie screen. If super- heroes aren’t satisfactory, there are plenty of rock heroes. Within the past year, Fleet- Thc Cleveland Air Show held every Labor Day weekend at Burke Lake Front Airport gives the Cleveland area a look at the past and future of aviation. wood Mac, Peter Framptom, and Pink Floyd have appeared in the Cleveland area. Concert and movie prices are high, but the quality of the shows is well worth it. The newest entertainment, Laserium, is a fascinating laser show set to rock. The more athletic forms of entertainment, roller skating, ice skating, and skiing are popular as fund raisers for clubs such at VICA and Thearts. Even the school has much to offer through bashes, dances, and sports activities. For those students with some incentive, time, and a good deal of spending money, the possibility of hav- ing a successful weekend certainly exists. It is up to the individual to make his own way through “opportunity knox.” On one of the stadium’s more exciting nights. Brian Sipe tosses a completion in the Brown’s victory over New England. 6 Opening Star Wars”, the year’s biggest movie, returned the super hero to the public and found its way to T-shirts, records, and games. With a mesmerized stare, Steve Howe puts on an amazing display of talent. This often seen Laser Rock poster suggests the phenomenal show available at the Allen theater. Opening 7 TV RE-VIEW Television: A very important device in today’s world because of its ability to bridge the world wide communication gap. Through television, people have become aware of what is happening all over the globe. Television pro- vides society with much needed enter- tainment and knowledge, but how does it affect high school students? Many students use television to fill the gap. If you've got the time, but neither the initiative nor the money, then television is the alternative. Most students tend to use television as a form of entertainment rather than a learning device, and variety show Saturday Night takes the honors as the show most liked. But even with the inexpensive and easily accessible advantages it has to offer, television finds itself in a rut. What is shown on T.V. is dic- tated not by the needs of society, instead by network ratings and today’s commercialized world. This tends to sacrifice program quality, especially by adding T.V. violence and sex to gain viewer interest. “Charlie’s Angels” holds one of the highest ratings; you can turn down the audio and still get the most out of the show. With all things considered, it can safely be said that television is a popular and inexpensive pastime for all. Many classes use the television as an educational tool to supplement the regular classroom text and lectures. Appearing at six and eleven, Dorothy Fuldheim is the trademark of Cleveland News Broadcast- ‘The Tonight Show”, starring Johnny Carson, is an American institution at 11:30, even without his patented appearance. Opening 9 With backup bass from Chris Squire, Steve Howe gets into an exhilarating jam during, “Yours is no Disgrace”. The Coliseum, the major Cleveland concert spot only twenty minutes from Bedford, also pro- vides the setting for major athletic events and special attractions like the Ice Capades. Keith Emerson, of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, exhibits his versatility on the synthesizer. The top rock group of the year, Fleetwood Mac, performed at the Coliseum in September. Lindsey Buckingham provided the bass to Stevie Nick’s “Dreams”. order quickly enough, and you might get some good seats for a concert. The antici- pation builds up as music lovers wait hours on end for the best tickets. The students with extra cash can usually buy from an anonymous parking lot scalper just before the show. The day of the concert the crowds jam the parking lot and walkways, all moving with a single objective: find THAT seat! Once the warm up band leaves the stage, the excitment mounts during the half hour preparations on stage and in the audience that herald the arrival of The Rock Super Stars. With special effects accenting the performance, the mood becomes one of sensory enjoyment. Pink Floyd, the ultimate in special effects, uses such props as a floating pig and parachute sheep. The music is where it’s at though, and the stage is the place to find it, even though some people can’t see that far. For most students, concerts are a memorable event, but for an over-indulgent few, the concert is just an appropriate background for a This summer, Peter Frampton appeared at the stadium where WMMS sponsored the “World Series of Rock.” Providing a huge natural setting. Blossom con- certs seem more relaxed, especially on the lawn. ACTIVITIES ANO Not as popular as they once were, dances are still a part of the traditional special events as- sociated with the school. Band Camp, like the other summer camps, is not all hard work, as Nancy Krause proves with a can of shaving cream. Activities 12 The place where all the activity begins, Bedford High School occupies a great deal more time in students lives than the regular school day. [ . A MOTION aVNID EMOTION Activity is a specified form of action, especially in the area of recreation. To the interested members, activities mean a sense of involvement and to- getherness. Although most organi- zations consume a considerable amount of time, a sense of ac- complishment, new friends, and some great fun often result. There are a few very popular clubs that mean pure, totally non-school related fun. One of the largest groups is ski club, meeting every Thursday night at Brandywine. Other clubs mean responsibility; the responsibility of organizing projects for others. Tlie Christmas party for ele- mentary children and visits to Jennings Nursing Home are done purely for others by the Friendship Club. Athletics demand a considerable amount of time, but the feed-back stretches to the entire student body. In fact, sports are the only thing other than academics that involve practically all the students in one way or another. People in the arts enjoy a closeness unlike that felt in any other group. Whether it be the Band or Thearts, everyone works together to achieve a much strived for goal: a perfect show. Class spirit was shown by all at the float sessions, although they some- times consist of too much socializing, smoking and drinking, and too little flower making. In spite of the problems, occasional long hours and the conflict with school work, the fun and intricate social life associated with activities is what most students remember. Students in printing assist school activities by running off programs, posters, and tickets. Tim Recko helps Janet Vogini meet her Theart’s initiation requirements. Activities 13 WEEKEND After thoughtful consideration, John Wiese decided to make a big investment and go to the prom. Cathy Rutherford accepted his invitation. Two and one half weeks before prom, John went to get fitted, finally deciding on a white tux with a pink shirt. The total cost: S30.00. On Friday, John went to Bedford Floral and picked up Cathy’s nosegay for twenty- five dollars. Twenty dollars bought prom tickets for dinner at the Holiday Inn. Total cost for prom: $75.00. John went and picked up Cathy at 7:15. By the time parents finished taking pic- tures, it was 7:30, and they went to pick up Kevin Glasko and Lori Canzoni. Arriv- ing at the Randall Holiday Inn, the couple danced to the music of the Sabers, and ate a dinner of roast beef, baked potatoes, and green beans. At midnight, post-prom started in the cafeteria. Jasper provided the music until 4:30, when John and Cathy went home for a few hours rest be- fore Cedar Point. After accepting John Wiese’s invitation, Cathy Rutherford launched the lengthy preparations for the prom by buying a dress at the Limited. It’s price, fifty dol- lars, was steep, but the pink color was just what Cathy had in mind. With the major expense out of the way, shoes, a long slip, earrings, and a hat re- mained. The “trifles” totaled twenty- eight dollars, and a few extra dollars bought the boutineer. The total cost for prom night: $90.00. Dead tired, Cathy finally arrived home from Post Prom at 4:40. It was 9:30 when they were picked up by Kevin and Lori for Cedar Point. Between food, tick- ets, and tolls John managed to spend an- other thirty-six dollars. Exhausted, the group left Cedar Point early, arriving home at 7:30. Starting Sunday on wheels, John and Cathy went roller skating at Roller Palace. Finding a Kenny Kings, they picnicked on the Mayfield baseball field. Totaling the Post Prom weekend (with extra beverages included) it came to sixty dollars. Although Prom heads the year in major expenses, its excitement compen- sates for the time and money involved.

Activities 15 CHANCE A DANCE What would you rather do, dance or party? When this question was put to the test by the Sweetheart Ball, most people chose partying. The Valentine’s dance ran opposite a concert at the Coliseum and guess who won? This lack of interest in the dance was also a result of it having been a guy ask girl affair. Traditionally, all dances of this type have smaller attendances. Unfortunately, as a result, Student Senate suffered losses totaling S300. Another answer to the problem concerning dances and their loss of popularity is that alot of students cannot afford the high costs which ac- company attending one. The cost of the tickets, $4.00, along with a corsage, dinner, and extras produce a rather expensive evening. Sweetheart Court: Jerry Stoffl, Nita Pozar, Ken Kessler, Lydia Mackris, Jack Pilato, Debbie Tango Queen Sherry Howard, Bob Barrett, Patty Angelo, Rick Borowiak, Sue Erdos, Ed Estok, Cathy Rutherford, and John Wiese. Due to an accident, the sound of “Sabers” was not what was expected. The lead singer sustained injuries which prevented his performing. Rather than cancelling, a makeshift band consisting of one half Sabers and one half whatever combined to form a single group. Formal dances are becoming more and more obsolete, not only because of the cost, but because of a shift in student priorities. A big night out is no longer one of dining and dancing, but one of casual parties with a small group of friends. A beaming Sherry Howard and escort Bob Barrett reign over the Sweetheart Ball. Awaiting coronation, Jerry Stoffl and Nita Pozar share a few quiet moments. 16 Activities Colet Remember when Christmas was your fa- vorite time of year and remember how ex- citing it was when December rolled along. When was the last time you felt that way about Christmas? It’s been awhile. Now Christmas means saving enough money for all those presents Santa Claus was suppos- ed to bring. It means bearing the cold of winter and it means a vacation from school. But the spirit of Christmas was still alive and well and living at BUS as the holidays neared. Although the biggest Christmas event, the NHS sponsored Christmas Dance was can- celled due to a lack of funds and planning time, the merriment of Christmas still re- mained. As tradition insists, the Christ- mas season was a time for giving. Mrs. Josie Lesler and her Home Management classes followed this tradition as they led the Shoe and Boot campaign. In order that area children could have new shoes and boots for Christmas, this group set up a pine tree in the main entrance of the school. They made different colored paper angel ornaments and sold them to the sophomores, juniors and seniors according to the color for a quarter a piece. The stu- dents could then write their names on the ornament and hang it where ever they pleased on the tree. As a result, a healthy donation was made to the Shoe and Boot I NEED SUPPORT. Sue Stiver takes time out to rest after an excruciating night on the slopes at Brandywine. Fund and the main hall was decorated, adding a little bit of Christmas cheer to the school. Also showing the Christmas spirit were the Child Care and Foods classes led by Mrs. Cindy Gilbert who very kindly made paper wreaths and hung them on the doors of all the classrooms. Many BUS students and teachers expressed their love or Christmas cheer through Christmas Per- sonals in the Fourth Estate. There were four pages of Christmas Personals, more than any other year, proving that students still believe in Christmas, if not in old St. Nick himself. SLIP SLIDING AWAY.

In keeping with tra- dition, the results were not known until the coronation procedures began. Then, for Ronnie Petron the long wait became worthwhile. The excitement climaxed as the crown was placed on her head. Dancing to the theme song, “Just You and Me,” Queen Ronnie Petron and escort Steve Posta were soon joined by the court in the cor- onation dance. “Sabers” provided the entertainment for the evening, with re- freshments by Friendship Club who had sponsored the event. The meager decora- tions followed the main theme “Just You and Me,” by featuring silhouettes of couples which were impressive. Finding a parking spot was no problem, although finding a seat was. Since the Harvest Hop was the first dance of the year, the cafeteria was packed full of eager students. Most wished to partici- pate in the school’s first dance. This, along with the dance being girl ask guy, made the affair a huge success. THE KING AND QUEEN IN ALL THEIR GLORY!

Courts and Sports Although the football team was not quite up to par this year, the fans still kept their spirit throughout the season. This was certainly evident at the Homecoming game, October 28. Packed stands along with crowded aisles brought the usual traffic to a standstill. Although the weather was a bit nippy, most people seemed to make it to the biggest game of the season. The festivities started with the parade on Thursday evening, and continued till late Friday night, or early Saturday morning. When the procession of the court, march- ing band, and floats passed the stands, the crowd roared. The senior float was chosen as the winner of the float contest. Also DO I HAVE TO GIVE IT UP? 1976 Queen Donna Saliga crowns the new homecoming queen, Lisa Akerley. participating in the contest were the ju- nior, sophomore, and band floats. The superior quality of the senior class float was its clever theme, “No Cards Tonight, and its ingenious design. A movable sal- oon door complete with shootout made the float outstanding. Excited as she was, Queen Lisa Akerley managed to deliver a thank you to her subjects. Despite the many fans which gathered to watch the celebration and game, the team could not be cheered on to a victory. Most people still felt elated after the ser- ies of events which comprise Homecom- ing. The Cats didn’t come through with the victory, but the fans still came through with the support. OH NO! irS FALLING! Skip Lazenich, Len Stusek, and Tom Winger pull the strings that make “No Cards Tonight,” the senior float, move.

This year 80 members per- formed with the usual level of excellence. Starting with the formal induction of ju- niors, to the final Commencement perfor- mance for the seniors, A Cappella per- formed over 10 programs. The most pop- ular ones were the Spring Sing, the annual Christmas Concert, and the Greater Cleve- land Conference Festival. Formed from the best of A Cappella, the Madrigal Singers were an exceptional group of musicians. The Madrigal Singers alone gave ten performances ranging from Christmas caroling in downtown, to sing- ing for our own PTA. The group devoted a lot of time and effort to their organiza- tion. Those girls unable to schedule A Cappella were in the Glee Club. Girls Glee contrib- uted mainly with evening performances. The Spring Sing and the Christmas Con- cert were on their schedule of events. Future A Cappella and Glee members were in the Sophomore Chorus. Their year was composed of several programs, high- lighted by the Christmas Concert on De- cember twenty-second. Mr. Max Bunker, director of all choirs, felt, “We had a par- ticularly talented group of music students this year. They were a pleasure to work with.” €hiantitp A CAPELLA OFFICERS: Secretary Gail Mil- ler, Vice-President Mike Horn, Treasurer Jeri Benny, President Tom Doak. WHERE’D SHE GO?

As each musician took his seat in the band room the very first day, no one had any idea of the musical potential of the band that they were to be part of. As the season progressed, time, effort and excitement would play a large part in each member’s life. The weeks ahead involved Monday through Friday school practices, Wednesday night rehearsals, and those so called “extra practices” held to put the final touches on the upcoming Friday eve- ning show. The much needed “day practices” usually began with Mr. Doane getting the members in their spots to review the pre-game and post-game show, often to the shouts of “Take it back to.. ” Wednesday night rehearsals began with Bob Gerhart, George Hines and Frank Lucas starting a football game. The season progressed and layers upon layers of clothes were worn as temperatures got lower and lower. The time spent working on drills was put to the real test when Friday eve- nings came. Hugs and hand-shaking before the half-time show gave the final “psyche” to band members as they lined up to begin the drill that took so much time, but provided so much fun.

Start At the beginning of August, over a hun- dred students-seniors, juniors and sopho- mores started back to school prepara- tions. Like the football teams, the band already held practices for the upcoming season. The pre-camp rehearsals gave the new members (greenies) a chance to meet and become acquainted with their comtemporaries in the Big Green Music Machine. Then came the week of band camp, August fourteenth through the twenty-first at Lake Erie College. The worst part of camp was waking up at 6:00 a.m., hurrying over to the hall, and standing in line for cafeteria meals that really were’nt worth the wait. After the breakfast meal, eight hours of on and off field practices followed. The beginning of the week was spent reviewing the basic marching steps that were taught at the sophomore practices before camp. After pinwheels, flanks, faces and marching fell into place, pre-game and post-game rou- tines for the Friday home games were prepared. This took much doing, but after picking up from mistakes, band members were able to execute interesting and exciting drills. The half-time show was confusing at fust, but after a great deal of work, started to look good. Along with working on marching music and drills, good times were spent with friends and new acquaintences. Shaving cream was the “in thing to do every evening after the night music rehearsal, especially among greenies such as Steve Hussell. and Ken Doak who always seemed to get it. After five days of orders, jobs, and shaving cream the sixth day came, a day in which the sophomores would long remember. It was the day of their final initiation, called Black Friday, which was planned for a couple of weeks by the seniors. Black Friday took place in a cabin at a wooded area behind the dormatories at 9:15 p.m. The sophomores were taken through different “stations along their way through the cabin. Muddy feet, shaving cream, rice crispies and painted faces accompanied the rainy weather as the ceremony that was the high light of band camp took place. HEY GOOD LOOK IN!

Ahead of the long marching season was something that each and every band mem- ber looked forward to for reasons “Too cold outside” or “Just tired of marching band”. This something was pep band,- playing-for the home basketball games, and a few of the wrestling matches. This voluntary band included twenty students, and was a non-credited extra-curricular activity. Their music, under the direction of senior Tim Recko, included a variety of well-known pop rock hits, such as “Eli’s Coming”. The Symphonic band continued with an- other season of hard work, putting to- gether time and difficult music needed to make exciting concerts throughout the year. The fifty member group played a variety of classical music which was prac- ticed till perfection in their band period each day. This year, like past years, the symphonic band participated in a band contest March eleventh at Orange High School. Tlie five colorful majorettes, consisted of two sophomores, Janet Vogini and Gay- lynn Guthrie. Junior majorettes were Karyn Pilarczyk, and Glenda Moore, while the only senior was majorette Debbie Par- nell. Under the direction of head major- ette Karyn Pilarczyk, hours of practices after school resulted in perfectly executed drill. ISN’T THIS ROMANTIC? Dave Dcngatc.

Shooting For The Stans Thearts is an organization which provides quality dramatic productions for the school and community. It has been in existence at Bedford High for at least ten years and anyone can join. But it takes people who are willing to give much of their time and talent; people interested in theatre both in the performing and production sides. The group has a meeting twice a month in which special speakers, professionals or college community theatre performers, give lectures and sometimes demonstra- tions. Acting is not like a regular course and can’t be taught by lecture, so every- thing is briefly explained and learned through production experience. Basically hidden from the student body are the other important productions. Thearts provides the community. Besides the two major productions put on in the spring and fall, Thearts also put on Christ- mas plays for elementary schools, one act plays for community groups, the dinner show at the high school, and a musical every other year. This drama service is generally free and the Thearts are financially self-supporting, controlling their own budget. There are about 50 active members. There are two similar groups connected with drama, one Thearts, the other Thes- pians, which is a branch of the Interna- tional Thespian Society. This is an Hon- orary Drama Society, meaning it is a litter harder to get into. Thespians ex- pects more from its members, each one must earn credit, work on all Thearts productions and be invited to join. They induct about twenty new people each year. It is a very active and interesting group. Many different kinds of people join, but all for one common interest in the arts. GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT!

Art Service did programs for Musicals, as well as advertising posters. Art service under the direction of Mr. Poti, added color and variety to many areas of our school. A BOMB. FOR ESTOK? Vinny Vartorella changes the color scheme of the spot lights for the Winter Concert. A service art course taught by Mr. Rabatin was Stage Craft. It was a “freer” class with few lectures, if any. Everyone worked on their own or with small groups, but all worked toward a common goal: to finish a set for a musical or play. The students enrolled have to be motivated to get their work done, not so much because of their grade, but because the musical or play de- pended on the set to project the proper at- mosphere. Many people thought since the working conditions were so informal that it would be an easy credit. After discover- ing all the work involved, several students dropped out because of the time, effort, experience, or talent that was needed. Ap- proximately twenty students remained. There were good parts to the course as JUST FOLLOW THE DOTS. Kim Svaboda docs etching in her eleventh period stagecraft class. Kim Collins expressed, ‘it was very re- warding to see your work on stage.” Everyone had to work together. It was mostly student and teacher cooperation. You had to be willing to work.” The class was a one-half credit course and met every day eleventh period in the girls dres- sing room. Another group involved in stage produc- tion was Li gluing Unlimited which pre- pared the lighting for school plays and musicals, or created special effects like bombs, smoke, and shadows under the di- rection of John Seaman with a little help from Greg Depompei Jr. The most unusu- al effect made by Lighting Unlimited was a fog. In addition they did all the sound effects and sometimes helped with the scenerey. John Seaman had alot to say about Lighting Unlimited. “We’re trying to create the illusion that you’re actually there instead of just being on stage. We’re painting with light. Every lighting for ev- ery show is uniquely planned.” SOUTH HOUSE OFFICE RUNNERS I irst row Cindy Wahl. Mary Ann Man- dich. Debbie Palmeri, Nancy Morrclli. Wendy Dzurik. Josette Culvcrwell.

Adam Stanton and John Ambrose keep careful watch over the seventh period lunch. Throughout the school year there were many different groups that were not or- ganized for fun or entertainment. Rather, these groups were formed to help the school. They helped secretaries, cafeteria employees and students around the school. Included in these groups were office run- ners. These students, all girls, helped the secretaries in both the North and South houses. They did this on their own free time or study hall. They helped the secre- taries by looking up the schedules of stu- dents and by delivering notices to various rooms around the school. Often seen in the cafeteria were volunteers that included Dan Fiore and Mike Vartor- ella. They were cafeteria monitors and kept watch at the doors and helped to keep the cafeteria in clean condition. They picked up trays and sometimes even emp- tied trays for “helpless young women.” Of the monitors there, Mike was the most gullible when it came to “helpless young women.” It was well known that the free lunch was not overlooked when they ac- cepted the job, but monitors were moti- vated by more than sixty-five cents, and were greatly appreciated by the cafeteria. The term “Senior Social Room Monitors,” seemed to have a different meaning to every senior there. (And even to some of the sophomores and juniors who invited themselves!) What these students were there for was to keep peace and order throughout the room------that is, if they showed. Monitors, Runners 37 WEIGHT WATCHERS. Sue Mould, Mark Carbin, IT’S SHOCKING!

One of these groups, Audio Visual, consisted of about two dozen students, who took equipment to classes, and assisted the teacher if there were complications. These students taped swim meets, fixed ma- chines, and helped photography groups in the resource center darkroom. Meanwhile, every morning before second period, Jana Panovich, and Gloria Keyes told the student body what was happen- ing before and after school, who won the game the night before, and coming events. Not only second period, but every period, clinic aids spent their time delivering pass- es, getting coats for ill students, and stamping passes. None of these jobs was particularly excit- ing, but each proved a lot better use of time than a study hall, and helped the day to day operation of the school. IT'S THE HIGH KARATE PM WEARING.

Friendship Club this year had many obstacles. Not the least of these problems was the trouble Friendship Club had finding an advisor. In addition, the very name “Friendship Club” seemed a misnomer. Rampant rumors about dis- agreements among the girls and between the officers caused the word “impeach” to be used more than once, though no- thing came of it. In spite of these diffi- culties, the annual Christmas party for children went off without a hitch, high- lighted by Mary Jane Kozak smashing the pinata. If the club continues, many of the current members hope that differences will be overcome, so that the meaning of the club can be concentrated on. A group that did do a lot of concentrating although it never attained club status was the tutors. Many more students signed up than actually did the tutoring because of schedule conflicts, but a group of about twenty students were able to connect with twenty more in need of help. t FRONT ROW: Pam Galloway, Ronnie Petron, Patti Biclccki, Anita Vavra, Karen Bragg.

Carolyn Apter takes a seat as President of Council and Mark Vadaj acts as Mayor of Oakwood for Student Government Day. J' .AA God Gov’t The 1977-78 Student Senate had a rough start being that there was no money in the fund. The question was how to raise money without losing profit. Many ideas came up at the third meeting, in which selling either plaques, iron-on transfers, or candy were discussed. The Senate decided on selling iron-on transfers. The interest in the different rock groups made the transfers sell well. The profit, helped in aiding the Sweetheart Ball which was co- sponsored by the National Honor Society. Both clubs presented the Ball on February 18. Pam Moroz, this year’s Student Senate President, commented, “It is hard to keep the meetings in order with too many dif- ferent opinions, but at each meeting, something important was accomplished.” Student Government Day was a day taken each year where the students had the privilege to take over the jobs of city offi- cials in Bedford, Walton Hills, and Oak- wood. They accompanied each official and learned the day to day decisions and routine of each job. The former Fellowship of Christian Ath- letes, presently renamed Bedford Chris- tian Fellowship, altered its title to include non-athletic members. Meetings were held every other week, alternately Mondays and Tuesdays at the homes of various members, where Bible studies, sharing faith and fellowship took place. The De- cember weather did not stop the Christian group from caroling, while in the spring members held a Banquet. The final acti- vity was a summer picnic. IS IT JUVENILE COURT?

The only time this club assembled was on the day pictures were taken. Those photographed were the presidents of all the other clubs at BHS. Another group that turned out to exist in name only was the Academic Challenge Team. Disappointed would be the only word to describe its five members-or per- haps angry would be more descriptive. Af- ter the members of the team were chosen in September, a meeting was held after school in October. Eager to start practic- ing for the television program, the mem- bers were sorely surprised to find that practicing would not be necessary. The Illuminating Company, who produces the show, had sent Mrs. Dickard, club advisor, a letter notifying her that the BHS team would not be able to appear on the Aca- demic Challenge Program this year. Their explanation was that only 37 high schools would be able to appear on the show and too many schools had sent audition kits. Since BHS appeared on the show last year, and frequently in the past, it was one of the schools to be excluded from the schedule. To say the least, this deci- sion caused bitter and hurt feelings. The letter did say, however, that BHS had a chance to be on the show next year. “There was a meeting last night?” This was a question or exclamation often posed between NHS members, the day after a meeting. News of a meeting never seemed to reach people and consequently meet- ings were frequented by few members. Mr. Raymond Reich took on the responsi- bility of adviser to the club for the first year after Mr. Hensley resigned from teaching and NHS. Since initiation in the Spring of last year, the club was busy sell- ing Spanish suckers and later World Fa- mous Chocolate Bars. A hayride was en- joyed by most of the members early in the year, and a successful bash in Febru- ary brought the club out of debt thanks to the discount the Boyzband allowed. A paper drive continued to help the club’s finances. NHS members are those senior students who regularly maintained a 3.3 average and were active in school and com munity organizations.

Taking shelter from the snow at Metropolitan Park , Babs makes a reluc- tant adjustment to Geveland winters. A fresh start for Beate Klitzke began this August when she arrived in Bedford. The 16 year old from Husum, Germany lived at the Curran residence for just under a year. The first impression Beate had of Americans was the fact that people were involved in so many different things. “All courses are assigned, and we are not able to choose what we would like to study.” Beate continued, “German schools stress the importance of learning, while U.S. students seem to be involved in so many different activities, it seems hard to keep up with their studies.” In addition to Beate’ stay, Bedford wel- comed three girls from India, Jasmeer, Jas- winder, and Harbas Sahotas. The girls could could read and write, but could not speak English. The A.F.S. program required a little extra cooperation this year, but then that is what A.F.S. is all about.

HUGH? Sue Boyle. Car- ol Cadorette, Mrs. Hannah. Sue Mould. John Pa- lumbo. and Regina Williams discuss plans for the French trip. FORIEGN MUSIONI Interests in vacations in Europe, college language requirements, or a desire for something different prompted students to sign up for French, German, or Spanish, the three foreign languages offered. From the classes, a French club advised by Mrs. Hannah, and a German Club advised by Mrs. Altman were formed. Spanish was offered only as a course since there wasn’t enough interest in forming a club. The French Club started early in the year with plans for several different activities. The first event was a large French dinner held in the school cafeteria. Club mem- bers prepared the dinner and served it to invited guests, most of whom were parents of the students. The club also celebrated the Mardi Gras in February, and traveled to the French Riviera and Paris over spring vacation. The German Club began their year with a hayride at Circle Emerald. In January, they had a bowling party at Ambassador Lanes. Other activities included visits to Otto’s and the Hauf Brau house. PING-PONG IS MY GAME.

This was the question every member on “The Fourth Estate” staff was eager to discover and report. On the day before deadline and on layout night, the pecking of typewriters could be heard outside room 238 as staff members eagerly typed out last minute stories. A slow start tormented the adviser, Mrs. Susan Ambrosini. She was heard to ex- claim, “This paper will never come out!” The biggest problem: Pictures. There never seemed to be any.

The mission that seemed impossible was finding stories that were interesting and not old news renewed. The sports staff headed by Jim Kainec, tried to add per- sonality to the sports page, which tended to offer only facts. The staff tried to add more features, less errors, less reviews, and more interviews within articles. Four articles equaled an A, but if certain members couldn't find four articles there was credit for layouts, selling papers or extra ads, which paid for the majority of the paper. For artistic members, grades were improved with contributions of car- toons. Most of the cartoons in “The Fourth Estate” were the creations of John Vlach whose talent added humor to the paper. Although deadlines were delayed and lay- outs were stretched, the paper was pub- lished thanks to the co-editors and advis- er who finished up the final touches. Time was an enemy for the staff. There was never enough of it. 50 Newspaper 1977-78 The Fourth Estate Page 2 DOES IT MAKE SPAGHETTI? Jeanne Washko M O runs a headline through the waxcr before plac- m l —Lm Ck JwWm MwULmtm ing it on a layout. Some famous people have been writers. It’s been said that writers are the most neurotic of all people. This is a matter of opinion. What seems clear is that there are few people who claim credit for their writing. This conclusion was drawn from the fact that this year there were only four members in Quill and Scroll, the honor- ary writing club, all of whom were either members of the newspaper or yearbook staff. If a student was in the upper third of his class, and had something published, he was qualified for Quill and Scroll. Join- ing involved paying S3.50 in dues. With this payment a student acquired a mem- bership card, a pin, and another club to add on a college application. TWO EDITORS HEAD PAPER IBM UP THREE QUARTERS.

This accumulation was accomplished through the members of the yearbook staff. From the outside this seemed relatively easy, but from the inside of the staff, it was painfully difficult torture for what seemed like years. Not only was a book eventually produced, but so were alot of tears, alot of laughter, and alot of crazi- ness. There were always conflicts from fraz- zled nerves, late assignments, or shoddy work, and in the end good friends frequently became acquaintances. Basically a few mem- bers of the staff did most of the book, and these few in spite of long hours and long nights working together managed to stay on speaking terms. Amazing things were discov- ered while the book was in the making. For instance, it was amazing how many students in the school were unknown to anyone on the staff. Also amazing was the fact that over a thousand pens and pencils strangely dis- appeared. It was also amazing that the be- loved editor remained beloved, and that he escaped wounds from any of the objects the “Lady” found at hand to throw at him. Fur- ther, it was amazing the assistant editor, Deb- bie Hricik, managed to stay awake through all the philosophy talks. It was amazing that Tom Waldron managed to forget a photo assignment from the time he received it to the time he had to walk there to fulfill it. It was amazing that he would not walk in a room unescorted to take a picture. It was amazing how many times Scott Werner sneaked off to play pinball during layouts. It was amazing that Tom survived the year. It was rumored that the advisor, editor, and assistant editor had all put contracts out on his life. It was amazing that Terri Jones passed Band or Basic Comp, after she gave up many of those classes for yearbook. It was also amazing how cold and quiet it got in school after hours. Kathy McAdoo’s increas- ingly long kickers were amazing. It was amaz- ing that anyone on the staff ever got their term papers completed. It was amazing that some of the publication cards were NOT stolen. It was amazing that those little locks were all attached to yearbooks. But most of all, it was amazing that the book was com- pleted at all, and now you know why. Ycarbook 53 I WISH I KNEW HOW TO TYPE! Terry Hovan types in Junior Accounting and Computing. Proficiency in typing, shorthand, and business math is important and essential to every good secretary, and helpful in getting a job after graduation. The Junior Steno class got an in depth introduction to all of these, and learned to better their skills. “Junior Steno was really great, but there was a lot of home- work-especially in shorthand ' commented Monica Milko when asked what she thought of the class. The Junior girls were in Steno from first through fifth periods, a long time to be studying one thing alone, but necessary when learning some- thing as difficult as Steno. Also conveening first through fifth was the Junior Accounting and Com puting class. Intensive study in accounting was introduced, and the girls got a taste of what computing was all about. Both classes offered a great introduction to business and prepared the girls for the business classes of next year and ultimately for a good job in the years to come.

Only a small minority had an answer. Most of the ones who knew the answer were a part of either the Senior Steno or the Senior Accounting and Com- puting class. These classes gave students experience in the working conditions of an office as a secretary or receptionist. The girls started off the day with typing and many ended with accounting or short- hand. With the skills they learned in class, they were able to get a job right after school with no further training needed. For a student like Patty Bielecki, Senior Steno was a big help. Patty got the exper- ience she needed in class and in experi- ence week when she went on the job as a secretary. Patty was very glad she took the course, even though it took a lot of hard work and time. Beth Woodmansee was a student in the Senior Accounting and Com- puting class for a half a year. She got a full time job second semester in a dentist’s office. There she worked as a receptionist and a bookkeeper. Beth was very glad she took the course, for without it she would have never gotten the job. For many stu- dents, the block program provided the an- swer to the question of what to do after high school. Senior Business BIocks 57 NO THIS ISN’T TOYS.

There were twenty students enrolled in the D.E. II class which met third period every day. In the class, Mr. George Beshara, the instructor, instructed the students in all the areas of the business world. Distributive Education trained students for careers in retailing, wholesaling, and service establishments. It was a vocational program between the school and various businesses throughout the community. DECA gave the students a chance to have on-the-job-training, get out of school early, and make money- all at the same time. For many students making money was the way to go. Patty Crickard a senior, worked at Pick-N-Pay in Northfield for two years. She was glad she had the job although it had many responsibilities to it. Not only did Patty have to be under the control and guidance of her manager, but also under the con- trol of the rules that go along with the program. For many students the DECA program was a big help; it opened the door for the future. LOOK! NO TRAINING WHEELS! Driving around in the sports department of Gold Circle is Mike Daugherty.

When the students in VICA graduate, they go straight to jobs with no further train- ing, because they get all they initially need in high school. The guys in shop do everything from re- pairs on cars to electronic circuitry. For a senior like Revin Gunn, the vocational program was an introduction to the real world of work. He didn’t exactly know what he wanted to do when he got out of high school, but thought electronics seem- ed promising. Even if Revin had decided electronics was not for him, VICA would have been good experience. Junior Tim White, was in the auto me- chanics program of VICA. Tim would like to be a truck driver or a deisal me- chanic. In shop with Mr. Brodnik, Tim got the chance to get the experience he needed by working on patrons' cars. Tim is going on with his education after he gets out of school, but the VICA program was a great help. Knowledge of a job field is not always enough. Knowledge coupled with the experience that VICA provided enabled the student to join the work force im- mediately after high school.

For on the job train- ing, COE was the answer for many girls. This program gave seniors a chance to get a taste of the real business world. There were nineteen in the COE class that met third and fourth period, five days a week. They worked at various places, some of which were: Agency Rent-a-Car, Citizen Federal, Bedford Courts and City Hall, and Union Paper and Twine. Many of the girls kept their jobs after they graduated, giving them a head start in the summer rush for jobs. Most of the students enjoyed the program. Renee Schneider, who worked at Union Paper and Twine as a telephone operator and typist, commented that COE gives you a chance to learn about all the different parts of business. During the year, the class had one major service project. They went to Warrensville Mental Health and Retardation Center dressed up as Santa Claus and his elves. They gave children handmade stockings and homemade cookies with punch. Ex- perience is the name of the game in busi- ness, and COE helped several seniors gain this valuable commodity.

Carol Stevenson quizzes the students of Ellenwood elementary school on their German. Teaching German to younger students was one of the many individual investi- gations possible. German, of course, was under the direction of Mrs. Altman, but arrangements were made with any spon- sor for either a first or second semester course. Almost any topic which appealed to a student was pursued in greater de- tail and depth, including math, science, foreign languages, and art. Two students, Carol Stevenson and Karen Neilson, found it an experience to teach the rudiments of German at Ellenwood elementary school, but Cathy Serio de- cided to explore German further than where four years of classroom study had taken her. Aided by Mrs. Altman, her sponsor, Cathy read and reviewed several German books. Similarly, Joe Rushanon also explored a language, except Joe’s choice of study was English. With the help of Mr. Rex Davis, Joe delved into classical literature. In addition to English, Math also lent itself to an individual in- vestigation for Joe. Studying advanced mathematics interested Joe since he plans to enter a career in that field. GRIBBIT! GRIBBIT! Karen Neilson enjoys WHAT ARE LITTLE BOYS MADE OF?

Mr. Doane shakes his head in disbelief as he and Jim Brand work on Jim’s composition, “Blob In Suspended An- imation”. Many students took advantage of the chance to investigate their potential ca- reer field. Most of the research for Indi- vidual Investigation took place in the library. Dave Perry decided he could pro- fit the most through exploring his field of history in the quiet and peaceful at- mosphere of the library. Etching, the art of preparing etched metal plates appealed to Cindy Cox. With the help of Mr. Rabatin, Cindy etched several intricate designs on metal plates. Other students pursued the arts including Jim Brand. Composing was a hobby for Jim because of his musical talent. Among many other compositions, Jim had added “Blob In Suspended Animation”. Having found the time to work on an enjoyable hobby or interest for a half credit a sem- ester was a reason why many students found an Individual Investigation the per- fect answer to coupling business with pleasure. Working on your own and away from the sometimes chaotic classes which often consist of a variety of incompatible peo- ple seemed like the best way to study for many students. This too seemed like a good reason to take an Individual Investi- gation. Individual Investigation 65 G.A.A. LF.TTERCIRLS Front Row: Margie Cox. Second Row. Pattie Borcz, Kim Thellman.

(Q)M fMi Mt (Oi W ISi The overall interscholastic and intramural teams at BHS have the sole purpose of in- creasing athletic skills and good sports- manship. These characteristics are foster- ed specifically through the gym program, the Girls Athletic Association, and the Varsity Letter Club. All three groups stayed within the guidelines of Title Nine by offering equal opportunities to both sexes. The GAA permitted boys to join, but as of this year, no boys joined. Once girls lettered in a major varsity sport, they were eligible for Varsity B and a let- ter jacket, something new for an organiza- tion dominated by males in the past. So far, eleven girls have lettered in varsity swimming. Separate from GAA and Varsity B, the gym program offered a variety of athletic opportunities from archery to fitness, dancing, weight lifting, tennis, and hand ball. One of the problems for sophomores was that seniors got first choice, then ju- niors, starting with the beginning of the alphabet. In spite of all the changes and problems of the athletic programs, it still provided one of the more enjoyable as- pects of the school day.

These opportuni- ties, which include ping-pong, archery, tennis, racquet ball, soccer, swimming, weightlifting, badminton, flag football, and speedball are offered on an elective basis every ten weeks, with seniors getting the first round of selection. For this rea- son, sophomores do not usually get a full range of choices, and of course, some sports, like tennis, are offered seasonally because of the weather conditions. In spite of these limitations, the diverse selections attract great numbers of stu- dents, many courses beyond the Wa cred- its needed for a diploma. I OUR ON THE FLOOR. With the use of the wrestling room, the game of racquet ball has become one of the gym’s most exciting activ- ities. NEED A LIFT?

Sports Activities 69 The baseball team this year was certainly a hit. The Cats finished 7-7 in the G.C.C., but they were in the race until the last week of the season, when they dropped a thirteen inning 5 4 heartbreaker to Brush. This started a series of three straight losses. Several seniors had outstanding perfor- mances. Bryan Fredericks with a .413 average was the outstanding hitter on the team. Ray Konik led the team with 19 RBI’s and batted .362, followed by Mark Keserich with a .328, Danny Keller with a .313, Bob Barrett .293, and Rick Paul- son with a .281. Along with these performances, the trio, Ray Konik, Bob Barrett and Dan Keller all made G.C.C.. Bryan Fredericks and Mark Keserich made G.C.C. Honorable Mention. The juniors were led by Matt Gaborko with a .353 average, and Jeff Crowl hit a .305 in limited action due to an injury. Coach Robert Loeffler was pleased with the team this year, due to the outstanding indivdual and team efforts. He said, WHERE’D SHE GO? Taking a hearty swing, Bob Barrett rips at a Euclid fast ball.

Bob Konopa proved to be the offensive and defensive sparkplug for the Bearcats by batting .407 and compiling a 4-1 ledger on the mound. Other outstanding batting performances were turned in by Scott Jaros, .371; Dave Nagy, .341 ;and Tim White, .327: Dave Nagy, with a 3-1 chart, and Bob Weagraff, 3-0, rounded out a solid pitching staff. Memorable moments were provided with Konopa’s 4-1 no-hitter of the Brush Arcs, Nagy’s one-hitter against Maple Heights, and the teams 4-3 12-inning victory over Mayfield, in one of the longest junior var- sity games on record. The 1977 team established four new team records including most wins (13), most hits in a season (149), most home runs in one game (5), and most singles in a season, (115). Individually, Tim White tied the team record for the most runs scored, 16, and broke the stolen base record with 19 thefts.

Sports 73 Speed and endurance along with individ- ual effort are a winning combination. If each individual has a winning combination the team becomes a winner. This year's track men didn’t have the winning com- bination as a team. The team was led by Coach Balcer who tried to push the Cats to succeed, but they finished only seventh out of eight teams in the Greater Cleveland Confer- ence. The seventh place slot was a result of outstanding individual effort in the All Conference Meet. This was the high point of the season that went by without even one team victory. Two juniors, John Rose- man and John Kenny, both distance men, scored and ran well, not only at the con- ference, but at all the league meets.

Trying to catch his opponent from Maple, Mike Milosovic runs the hurdles. jumper Todd Wiese and long jumper, Joel Washington performed outstandingly. Ron Mori, John Roseman, John Kenny, and Ron Thebe rge broke the existing record for the four mile relay. The new record is 19:06:30. In spite of these outstanding perfor- mances, the team itself was hardly suc- cessful. To Coach Balcer, “the disappoint- ment of the season was the failure of up- perclassmen to come out which could have helped the team.’’ Next season, with a good crop of experienced distance men, the team will concentrate on field events and develop some sprint men, the major weakness this year. Hopefully, continued individual performances will also produce some team victories. AS 1 FLY THROUGH THE AIR .... Attempt- ing to’butjump Maple opponents, Todd Wiese leaps through the air.

The one who must run two miles is pushed to the hardest efforts he has just to keep up with the pack. When you talk about winning the race, this means one must go to the complete limits of his endurance. The 1977-78 Harriers were led by Coach Gordon Kimberly. One of the biggest and most competitive meets this year was the G.C.C. meet. All the teams in our confer- ence attended, which made it not only competitive, but enjoyable. John Rose- man was the team’s leading scorer. He was at the state meet and placed 49th. Har- riers placing in the G.C.C. Championship meet were John Roseman, Ron Theberge, John Kenny, Korky Davis, Kurt Klimko, Dave Mathies, and Ross Randazzo.

The Bedford Golf team considered golf a fun sport, but on the other hand their goal was to compete and win. This year their goal was accomplished when they captured the G.C.C. crown on Monday, October 25, 1977, by defeating an unruly Mayfield team by only one shot, 166-165. The Cats were under a lot of pressure down to the Mayfield game. They had to win this game in order to be the champions. The cats captured the crown, finishing the season with an overall record of 13-4, and 11-3, in the conference. Dave Wehner, a senior, was a medalist in the G.C.C. tournament with the lowest score out of 40 boys. He shot an 82. Dave Wehner with a 39, along with senior Chuck Trefney, with 40, had the two lowest averages on the team. Other averages included Mike Kastelic with 43, Jim Pre- kop with 43, Ed Romito with 44, Larry Vesocky with 44, Jim Firster with 45, Chuck Kovachuck with 45, and Jim Car- son with 47. In spite of these impressive statistics, the tournaments were a disaster. High scorers were inconsistent, putting the Cats out of district competition early. Their state expectations disappointed, the Golf team had to content themselves with being conference champions, not too difficult to live with. OH NO. NOT THE WOODS AGAIN, AND AGAIN!

Even though the Bearcats only won one game this year in a thriller against Brush, it was not the worst season in Bearcat history. With only 14 seniors to lead the team, the Cats were getting ready and preparing themselves back in the heat of August. Many juniors gained experience which should provide a good base for next years team. After eight straight losses, the team finally managed to pull off an upset against Brush, me fans sure appreciated that one win alter support- ing the team all year.

But the number of players was few, and some say the coaching was poor. Even sophomore Jim Milosovic was brought up and started on the varsity squad. What- ever the reason, the team had an unsuc- cessful season. A few players did gain rec- ognition for their performances, though. Nick Urban made G.C.C. All-Conference tackle and was the fifth leading tackier on the team. Five players also made G.C.C.

Mike Podojil also made Plain Dealer Dream team for his fine per- formance against Brush in which he inter- cepted two passes and made much yardage on kick-off returns. The season was best summed up by Coach Robert Hogue. “To me this season was not unsuccessful because I thought most of our players played to their maximum potential. Despite our poor win-loss record, we were beaten badly only once. Most of all, I was proud the guys never quit. Every week they came out to do their best.” THIS BOY IS GONNA EAT DIRT!

The Bearcats posted a 1-7-1 record this year. In spite of this record, they worked hard to improve. This year sophomore James Milosovic was awarded a varsity letter. He started as a varsity linebacker every Friday night, except for two weeks when he was out with an injury. In addi- tion to being a starter, Milosovic was third in varsity tackles.

The team consisted of thirteen girls, three were seniors, five juniors, and five sophomores. The most valuable player for the season was Betty Przybys, an excellent catcher with a solid batting average of .216. In- dividually Cheryl Duber led the team with a .370 average, and Andrea Wagner was a defensive stand out as short-stop. The highlight of the year was the hard fought eight to five victory over Mentor, third in the conference. The group ranks sixth in the conference, Coach Robert Fleming provided the training and encouragement. There were some personality conflicts among the players which did slow the team down a bit, as well as injuries that sometimes kept the team one or two runs behind. Laura Keene broke a finger while catching a fly ball creating a fielding gap, and Betty Przybys hurt her arm while practicing between innings at the Maple game, causing a weakness in the offense. Both games with Euclid went into over- time because of tied scores. Euclid won the first game, and Bedford managed to win the second. But, this was the first year the team was able to win the away games at all. 1977 GIRLS SOFTBALL BHS OPPONENT 1 Willoughby 7 2 Eastlake 1 13 Wickliffe 9 0 Brush 2 14 Mayfield 13 3 Euclid 4 5 Garfield 3 8 Mentor 5 2 Willoughby 10 2 Eastlake 5 0 Eastlake 8 2 Brush 6 4 Mayfield 6 8 Wickliffe 7 4 Euclid 0 3 Mentor 12 WON-7 LOST-9 MY GIRDLE’S KILLING ME!

Most wrestlers have to maintain a speci- fied weight every week in order to wrestle. Very often they do not eat for one or more days at a time, and this is the tough- est and most exhausting part of the season. There were thirteen weight classes start- ing from 98 pounds going up to 185 pounds. Anything over 185 is referred to as the Heavy Weight class. Our ’77-’78 wrestlers were Rob Fredericks, Joe Ian- naggi, Mark Davis, Mark Patsolic, Steve Motsco, Korky Davis, Dale Pilarczyk, Ed Paparone, Larry Geer, Brian Johnson, Keith Hall, Kevin Glasko, Joe Capone, and Nick Urban. Kevin Glasko, a senior, and Joe lanaggi, a junior, wrestled for the varsity team since they were in the tenth grade. Rob Fredericks, a 98 pound wres- tler, was a sophomore wrestling varsity. The varsity wrestling team was led by Coach Larry Jones. “Being that wrestling is an individual sport ’ Jones said, “I was well pleased with the performances of the Varsity Wrestlers.” Some exciting matches this year included that of Solon, Shaker, and Chagrin Falls. Bedford won the Shaker match 42-13, while knocking off Painsville Harvey 45- 17. The Solon match went right down to the Heavy Weight match. Nick Urban won 7-2, enabling the Cats to win the match 23-20. 1977-78 Varsity Wrestling Cheerleaders: Lisa Lippitt, Pam Clotz, Meg Ste- phen, Adviser Sharon Sielaty, Lori Canzoni, Laura Trivisonno, Karen Pre- bihilo. 1977-78 Wrestling Front Row: Dave Braund, Joe Shouf, Mark Davis, Steve Motsco, Tim Smith, Rob Fredericks, Jeff Spirio.

Like the varsity practices, the J.V. wrest- ling practices consist of pounded mats and sweat-soaked uniforms. One of the main reasons for team losses was the lack of par- ticipation in the sport. Many times Bed- ford J.V.’s had to forfeit five or six weight classes in one match. This was six points per forfeit in one weight class, leaving the scores close to 30-36 points to zero before the matches even started. The J.V. team consisted of Joe Shouf, Tim Smith, Eric Ikeda, Mark Urban, Doug Johnson, George Gaspere, Guy Vintson, and Alan Peek. This year the Bedford J.V.’s tied Solon’s J.V.’s with 41 points each, while Bedford defeated Painsville Harvey 36-18. The team was led by Coach Lars Schvartz who hopes next year there will be a better turnout for the J.V. team. The won lost record will then reflect performance ra- ther than man power shortage.

While it could be called a win- ning season, and satisfactory in that sence, the team still did not do well enough to win any laurels. Their chief strength was the fierce competition they provided for the opponents. Leading the team was Jeannine Hayek whose serving earned 74 points, Pattie Borcz who served a total of 68 points; Laura Keene and Gail Bodner who tied with a total of 61 points. The team did quite well considering only three seniors had extended varsity experience. Five juniors and only one sophomore com- prised the rest of the varsity team that battled game after game to maintain their conference standing. The season was highlighted by the first hard fought victory against Kenston 15-12, 15-13, as well as the last trouncing of Mayfield, ____— 15-7,15-8. LET’S DO THE AERO-FLYNN!

With tremendous effort, Claries Galloway com- pletes his final lap against Brush. The finish line is the only thought of a swimmer in water and this year’s team was no exception. The 1978 Varsity Swim Team was led by Coach Dan Weller and Coach Gordon Parnell, and consisted of eleven seniors, eleven juniors, and eight sophomores. Two juniors, Todd Kessell and Keith Uebele, were picked as the season’s out- standing meet performers. Keith and Todd both hold school records. Keith Uebele had a school record in the 100 butterfly, with a time of 58.6. Todd Kessel had a school record in the diving with a score of 260.4. Other team members were also cho- sen as outstanding meet performers for meets throughout the season. These mem- bers included Ken Doak, Greg Uebele, lan Mckillop, Lenny Stusek, Kurt Osadchuck, Dave Trojan, Tom Doak, and Paul Chou- chenour. The final results of the season for the cats were nine wins and three losses. 1977-78 BOYS' SWIMMING B.H.S OPP. 119 Painesville- Riverside 50 110 Solon 61 97 Kent Roosevelt 75 101 Orange 70 108.5 Padua 63.5 111 Midpark 61 27 Berea 56 109 Maple Heights 60 93.5 Brush 78.5 70 Rocky River 101 53 Mayfield 30 60 Euclid 112 Won 9 Lost 3 ROTASA HOCK1!!!

The team had a record of seven wins and two losses, placing them seventh in the district meet. In the state meet the girls came in tenth place. Twenty-one girls from Bed- ford were included in the Greater Cleve- land Conference Girl’s Swimming Cham- pionship Team. The team made eleven fantastic school swimming records. Soph- omore Judy McRitchie holds eight of those eleven records. Judy is also desig- nated as the Outstanding Swimmer for the 1977 season. The triumphant swimming team was led by Mary Meyers in the 200 Medley Relay, Judy McRitchie in the Individual’s Med- ley, Laura Youngblood in the 400 Meter Free Relay, Sue Maras in the 50 Meter Free Style, and Debi Parnell in the 100 Meter Breaststroke. Although the girls must be given credit for their successful season, credit must also be given to diligent head coach Dan Weller, and assistant coach Gordon Parnell, both former competetive swimmers. The diving portions of the swim meet are the most intense moments of competition. After the exciting relays, the atmosphere changes from a thrilling excitation to quiet solitude as the divers concentrate on the execution of their dives. In diving, style and form are prominent in comparison to the importance of speed and strength in the relays. Both skills are only developed through diligent practic- ing. Through this discipline, swimmers not only attain skill, but the self-control and perserverance which makes champions.

The brutal winter, the second in a row, tempted even the most chicken-hearted since over seven feet of snow fell during the season. Tem- peratures stayed below freezing, nearing the zero mark only the night of the bliz- zard. The blizzard of 1978 caused the only cancellation of the six planned ski nights. Each Thursday night at about 5:30, ap- proximately 267 skiers boarded buses or cars, with or without equipment, and headed for a night of hard play. The first evening Joe DeGaetano provided the ex- citement. “1 was skiing down the larger slopes and I was about three-fourths of the way down when my skis crossed over and I thought I had broken my leg.” Joe had a chipped bone, but he made a quick recovery after hobbling around on crutches for a month. The only excitement wasn’t on the slopes, however. The advisor, Mr. Owen, had his equipment stolen while rounding up stu- dents, as did Scott Werner after a high time on the slopes. SPREAD EM! Lining up for some parallel skiing are Larry Geer, Marilyn Fredericks, Laura Hol- lowell, and Tory Cirincionc. IF I ONLY HAD A CAR!

Laura Hollowell trys to make a turn which turned out to be a one footed effort with an extra pole for balance. Ski Club 107 Skiing is an exhilarating sport, both men- tally and physically, on the slopes or in the lodge. Bedford’s ski club found a home for the past four years at Brandywine Ski Center located off Old Route 8. Brandy- wine offered the choices of a small prac- tice hill off any of the tow ropes, or an intermediate skier could choose to glide on over to the triple, quadruple, or even the double for a little faster and bumpier ride. The experienced skier who had his skiing down pat or was just a little crazy, could test his skills on the moguled Champagne, often a killer for newcomers, learners and the overindulged individual. However, with a little practice and alot of agility, a skier could conquer the hill and have a great time. The ski lodge, of course, provided a chance to get warm around a fire, socialize, eat, or an opportunity for the perennial game of pinball. Some older students often crowded the bars and par- tied to the tunes of WMMS. All in all, Thurs- day nights provided an alternative to the winter doldrums. Skiing wasn’t the safest or warmest way to spend a Thursday night, but it got the weekend off to an early start. I’M JUST IRRESISTIBLE! Russ Slaby. Megan McClelland, Carolyn Apter.

Move and follow instructions to advance or re- treat. What makes Bedford’s personality so unique? A number of things includ- ing the faculty, the building, and the social structure of the student body. Eighteen hundred students comprise BHS, all different, including the shop rats, jocks, band fags, brains, and of course the obvious divisions of seniors, juniors and sophomores. Much of the student body gets cast into one role or another, hardly anyone escaping the stereotyping process. Even teachers are weeded out into different categories. Some are easy graders, some notetak- ers, and some let you talk, while others make you walk if you come late to class, and demand you get a pass. Be- cause of the many different qualities to watch out for, many students have complete scouting reports on every teacher. The student groups, each with their own hangout, dominate a certain territory of the school. The shop area shelters quite a few cliques, from rats, through burnouts, to heads. The gym area and snack bar are dominated by jocks decorated with cheerleaders, with the social room for seniors and the courtyard for all. Class distinctions cause lines to be crossed as sophomores, juniors, and seniors join together for spirit and float competitions. Stereo- types, however can never accurately represent people in all respects. Many students are quickly categorized by appearances or interests, yet possess many more dimensions than their label indicates. Students develop patterns which never fully express the wide range of feelings or dimensions of thought that make up what they are as individuals. 110 Gamcboard WELCOME TO BEDFORD HIGH Report to homeroom and receive your schedule.

Always under public examina- tion, President Jimmy Carter was criti- cally undermined by the Bert Lance affair, by his failure to take action in the coal strike, and by his faux pax in diplomatic relations. Many times during the year Billy Carter, the first brother, managed to out shine the president in the popularity polls with his T.V. appearances and his very own Billy Beer. Also in the news was Hubert Humphrey, the two-time loser of the presidency, who died of cancer. The passage of Humphrey-Hawkins bill served as a final tribute to the “Mighty Warrior”, Hubert Horatio Humphrey. The “down home” President, Jimmy Carter lost his goody-two shoes image during the sec- ond year of his administration. Billy Carter, the president’s colorful brother, brought beer, gas stations, and Plains, Georgia, into national prominence. Anwar Sadat, the president of Egypt, took the first step in the resolution of Middle East bor- der struggles when he visited the U.S. 112 Currcnt Events §TAE$. , I Ili' i IIIf Ul.I V.UI, I ttiiiiiiia a itvi«t■. m«i9M | m mm tlu hilts for ll� f ('anal. President Anwar Sadat of Egypt reached American Newspapers via his communica- tions with President Carter over the Mid- dle East border conflicts. After a heated campaign between Dennis Kucinich and former Mayor Ralph Perk, Kucinich, known for his baby face and his liberal political viewpoints, became the youngest mayor of a large city in the United States. To students, one of the most upsetting events of the year was the airplane crash which caused the deaths of several mem- bers of the rock group, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Gatun Locks, Panama Canal. The Panama Canal was the subject of much controversy as the Panamian Government de- manded the U.S. relinquish its claims. An untimely private plane crash, on their way to a concert, brought an end to the rock group, Lynyrd Skynyrd. The first hole in the Carter image was Burt Lance, the former finance director with ques- tionable investments. [I koto: T Current Events 11 3 The coal strike, lasting over a hundred days, sorely depleted utility stockpiles and slowed down much of the country. Slapstick comic Charlie Chaplin found no rest even in death as his body was stolen for ransom from his Swiss grave. The winter of 1977-78 was the coldest winter on record complete with a three day blizzard with wind gusts of 140 miles per hour that shut down the schools and paralyzed industries throughout Ohio, Indiana, Massachusetts, Pen- nsylvania, West Virginia and New York. SUPER The world felt shocked as news of “The King’s” death spread. Elvis Presley, the first Rock-n-Roller, died at the age of forty-two in his Graceland estate in Tenn- essee. Another celebrity, Muhammed Ali, was finally forced to give up his title as Heavy Weight Champion when Leon Spynx defeated him in a decision in the fifteenth round. Prince Charles, heir to the throne of England, was sent on a tour which included a stop at the Cleveland Clinic. The coal strike, along with bliz- zard conditions, made 1977-78 one of the roughest, coldest years. 114 Currcnt Events Elvis Presley, The King of Rock and Roll, was unexpectedly found dead at his Graceland man- sion outside of Memphis, Tennessee. “The Greatest” was finally dethroned. Muham- mad Ali lost the title of World Heavyweight Champion to Leon Spynx. The Alaskan Pipeline, often referred to as America’s pipe dream, was finally opened in 1977, but not without some problems. Prince Charles made the grand tour of America, staying in Lakewood and visiting Severance Hall and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. PROBLEMS The coal miners were out on strike for over three months holding out for more benefits. The blizzard was accompanied by hurricane winds and a record amount of snow. Americans forged ahead with the Alaskan pipeline. When oil was finally be- ing transported, unforeseen problems such as trucks colliding into the pipeline caused leaks. The death of silent movie comedian Charlie Chaplin was a loss to movie fans. Sadder even than his death, was the re- port that ransom seekers stole his body. Current Lvents 115 Scott Werner asks “why me,” as he tries to solve some of the many ladder problems. The ladder is the format of the book. .-r. - Sitting around socializing was common among staff members. Although ideas were slow in coming, they were only two quick to sec the fi nal product. £ “ Most of the students at BHS were happy with five snow days, but that prevented the staff from meeting an important deadline 1 M 1 : u 1 0 1 ft VftA u till LAID OUT AND LATE If you took 50,000 words, two thousand pictures and twenty people, you would have the start of what goes into a year- book. It was a lot of hassle even when everything ran smoothly, but since many difficulties were encountered it was al- most impossible to produce 240 pages from September to March first. This year we didn’t, so the book came late. It was not the first time a book came late to Bedford, but that was little consolation to the staff. Why was the book late: Per- haps the biggest obstacle this year was photographs. Of four photographers two were basically unreliable, one was seldom in class, and the fourth was constantly misplacing rolls of film, negatives, or pho- tographs. In addition one camera got broken, but not before four rolls of film or eighty shots turned up ruined. The editor, Scott Werner, took many of the pictures himself, taking away much of the time that would have been spent in doing the design of the book and the plan of what needed to be covered. In addition, the staff as a whole was not par- ticularly devoted to yearbook, and that’s what it takes to get the book out on time. When asked for their layouts or their copy, staffers were “busy,” they would have it later on in the week. That meant a book later on in the year. The incredible winter of 78 didn’t help much either. The cancellation of five days of school, and the resulting changed athletic schedule, made getting candids and sports shots more difficult than it had ever been before. A 45 minute class, once a day five days a week would never have been enough to produce a 240 page year- book with three, 23, or 103 staff mem- bers. Bad ideas alone often took more than an hour. The good ideas usually didn’t develop until at least 3 p.m. and a few of the best ideas didn’t develop until 3 a.m.! However, there were too few brains generating any ideas at all past 2:35, and this slowed down the creative process. There are countless other little stories, mostly boring, sometimes mad- dening that slowed the staffs production and prompted staff conflicts. This isn’t an apology. It’s just a saga of why the 1978 Epic yearbook came late. The editor, Scott Werner, is creative, but is eas- ily distracted by a gift of bubbles given to him for his birthday, delaying production. Late Yearbook 117 IPPIEYENP POLITICS After dinner provided for by the Bedford Kiwanis Club, members of Student Gov- ernment made plans to visit a local munic- ipality and take the place of an official in the surrounding communities. The students took positions of Mayor, Councilmcn, Po- lice Chief and Fire Chief learning the daily jobs of each of their counterparts. Louis Alpino took a ride with Police Chief Keller from Walton Hills and Linda Bcl- sito was lucky enough to take a ride on one of Bedford’s fire trucks. After tour- ing the buildings and service garages, each student was treated to lunch at McDon- alds, Pizza Bazaar, or Ramada Inn. After lunch students sat down to a mock coun- cil meeting. The students enjoyed a day of education along with a day off from school. ONE BUTTON’S MISSING. Students from Oakwood attend a finance meeting. WHAT A TRIP!

The Chief of Police for Walton Hills shows Cathy Ruther- ford and Kathy Podojil the Police Station. Good grades are a student’s ticket to col- lege—if that is where they are headed. College bound students work hard to re- ceive the all mighty “A”, while students who don’t plan to go to college are inter- ested only in that piece of paper. To them it doesn’t matter if it’s a diploma with “D’s” pulled at the end of the semester with a last ditch effort. The so-called “heads” on the other hand generally have no interest in good grades or good behav- ior. They just want to get out of school with the least amount of work possible. Whatever the outlook, cheating on home- work, tests and quizzes has become an art that makes the grades that serve as parent pacifiers. Compared to the number of of- fenders, very few cheaters get caught. If they do, their punishment is far from dreadful. The punishment ranges from a zero on a test to the proverbial slap on the wrist. There are several different methods for copying, and some of the best known in- clude the old whispering your answers to your neighbor trick, looking over the per- son in front of you (provided you sit be- hind someone smart), and hiding a cheat sheet in your sleeve. Cheating doesn’t help in the long run, however. Once out of school, a person will be expected to do the work their grades say they can—even if they can’t. MAKING THE For many students, the best test grades are ob- tained by plotting pre-test signals and strategies. The simple but effective pre-arrived at “answers Sleeve, belts, pockets, and notebooks are all under the test method is one of the safest possible spots for easily accessible cheat sheets, forms of cheating. 120 Cheating and Grades The various science seating arrangements pro- vide ample opportunity to focus on elusive an- swers. The “combined effort—check out your neigh- bor plan” is one of the most widely used forms of cheating.

Mr. Patrick George is the new north house health teacher. A devoted athlete, he be- lieves excercise is essential for a healthy body and a fulfilling life. While attending Baldwin Wallace University, he played baseball and was named most valuable player. He also played football for two years, and is now an assistant coach for the football team. In his spare time, Mr. George prefers to go out with “beautiful women with beautiful legs.” and if this cannot be arranged, he enjoys spending time with his family. This time with his family is often spent at The Scoreboard Inn, a restaurant in Euclid owned by his parents. Mr. George said he really liked Bedford with the exception of studyhall duty, which included putting up with Tony Musachio and Rickey Burns, who con- stantly tried to con their way out to the parking lot or into the cafeteria.

Mr. Heard is a man who not only enjoys football, but a intellectual game of chess, music, and the companionship of beautiful women, not necessarily in that order. Mr. Heard assumed the vast responsibili- ties of head coach for the J.V. Football team. Football practices began the first of August, when many members of the team have the “It’s still vacation blues.” When school started, the practices were after school, usually until 5:30 p.m. Then, Mr. Heard sacrificed his Saturday mornings for the J.V. games. After football season, Mr. Heard ex- changed his helmet for tennis shoes as he took on girls track, giving up more of his free time. Coaching and watching girls, however, was a pleasant change. These extra duties did not go unrewarded. With every win, sacrificing time seemed more worthwhile. Mr. Heard’s pay check, also was more worthwhile, with extra pay for coaching. Being a man of many inter- ests, Mr. Heard found the extra money came in handy. TWO BALLS ARE BETTER THAN ONE!

It turned out it was a real live teacher named Mr. David Spon- sellor. He is a 1972 graduate from Alle- gheny University and majored in geology, the stuff earth science is made of. Mr. Sponsellor is not only a teacher, but a certified real estate broker. He worked for McAdoo Realty on Broadway for awhile, then worked as a salesman for J.B. Robinson. He is still employed at Robin- son’s during school breaks. There have been rumors that Mr. Sponsel- lor is a man who enjoys the social life, but whether that will end with his upcoming wedding to Joanne Line remains to be seen. Mr. Sponsellor is a bonified athlete who has been involved in sports since he was a child right here in Bedford. He was a bas- ketball and track jock both at BHS and Allegheny. He is now an avid weekend golfer, but still has his place, not only in class, but in the trophy case as best cross country runner his senior year. HUS IS SPACED OUT!

The exercise provides fun and a good way to keep in shape and meet new people. It also strengthens her legs for other hobbies such as skiing and swimming. She started this hobby in elementary school and con- tinued with it in college. Mrs. Ethridge belongs to a ballet and jazz class called Kae Dance Center in North- field, which she attends two nights a week, as do most of the members. This class is open during the school year, each lesson costing an inexpensive S3.00 for two hours. This particular class practices Russian art, with the usage of Russian dance terms. Mrs. Ethridge, however, prefers music such as Barry Manilow during practice. Mrs. Ethridge said: “I would really love to have my own dance studio, but I don't know if I would have the time with teach- ing. I thought it would be a good idea to have a dance group for the girls at Bedford, dealing with ballet and modern dance.” The dance project at BUS is one well worth considering. PETER PAN?

Mrs. Papesh became interested in this less than common sport ot cave ex- ploring, professionally called spelunking. As a child, she and her brother explored the woods and gravel pits in their own backyard. Mrs. Papesh goes spelunking in Kentucky, the nearest location with really fascinating caves. She does, however, ex- plore occasionally at Nelson’s Ledges out- side of Hiram. A sports enthusiast, Mrs. Papesh enjoys water rafting. During the summer, Mrs. Papesh is a life guard at a pool and lake that she manages in Aurora. In her spare time at home, she gets away from the life of a female jock and hooks rugs. When asked how she felt about starting her teaching career at BUS Mrs. Papesh responded, “I found the staff to be espe- cially warm and receptive and the kids seemed nice.

However, knowing it was the final year was probably much more satisfying than any other part of the senior year. Recognizing you actually sur- vived those twelve years along with the playground scrapes, peer pressures, first loves, unlikeable teachers, 48 report cards and a countless number of Mondays was amazing in itself. Was the senior year all it was made out to be? With the senior year came privileges like legal beer drinking, unlimited curfews, and self-written absence excuses, all of which contributed to senioritis. In reality, the actual privileges for seniors were lim- ited to first choice in course selections, use of the social room, and toleration when they bragged of their independence. For some, the glory came a little bit at a time, with the last cutslip, the last exam, the last bang of a locker, all of which con- tained a little bit of satisfaction, and maybe even a little bit of sentiment.

It’s Russia, and for a week Mr. William Fudge and a group of students visited the Kremlin, Red Square, and the world famous Moscow Circus. Ar- riving in Moscow, every corner afforded the realization that they were in a strange country of alien people, alien government, and alien customs. For only $15 per per- son, dinner was enjoyed at the famous Aragvi Restaurant where leaders such as Stalin and Churchill previously dined. Feasting on ten ethnic courses and drown- ing in excellent vodka provided the group with an exciting night to remember. Spending $874 for the total trip, plus an average of $150-$200 for extras, bought the experience of a lifetime. 136 Seniors Gaig Byers Lori Canzoni Joe Capone Darren Caponi Jeanine Caraballo Mark Carbin Mike Carozza Tyrone Campbell Alex Cannell HI HO SILVER!

A series of meetings with the school board and senior class officers led to the formation of a Commencement Board of sixteen seniors, faculty, and ad- ministration. They put together a survey in which 80% of the seniors wanted to give Blossom another try. In spite of some concerns over the informal setting of Blos- som and the formal dignity of commence- ment, the natural beauty of Blossom won out. It was a Blossom Commencement with changes, tickets were limited, the program was shortened, the camera sta- tions were eliminated, but it was still a Commencement with a gorgeous natural backdrop for “Pomp and Circumstance.” Karen Dawson Laurie Day Mary Ann DeCaro Robin Davis Karen Decker Patrick DeFoor Jackie DeFratis QUIET RIOT?

By reaching the age of eighteen, they met the requirements of the state and were legally allowed to drink. As if by magic, bars and night spots opened their doors to them. Favorite spots of Bedford seniors included the Big Apple, the Longhorn, and the Agora. In these bars and discoes, large crowds, friendly atmosphere, music and beer attracted students from surrounding areas, mak- ing bars a great place to meet people. The Agora and the Longhorn featured local bands every night, and other places offered nightly concerts on vid- eo tape by famous bands. These hot spots offered Bedford’s night owls a glimpse of the adult entertainment world.

To have such a privilege, however, a student had to work hard during the semester since a 90 per cent average was needed. That meant a high B or A for the course work. Unfor- tunately, if you had a high B and skipped the exam, there was no chance for an A. With the exam, a student at least had a chance for an A. Many tired seniors, including Karen Kikta and Mike Horn chose the easy way out. In the final analysis, though, it wasn’t really a senior privilege, since the decision for exemption rested with the instructor, anoth- er example of how being a senior was only a title. 142 Scniors Kathy Geracioti Mitch Gerycz Greg Gipko Kevin Glasko Kelly Gordon Rick Grabowski Kurt Gross Lisa Gravatt Dave Greenwell Kathie Guthrie SPEED READER!

Howard Hibler Kathy Houghlahan Tim Hovan John Howard How would you like to go to a concert and actually know someone on stage? This thought isn't as far-fetched as it sounds if you are a friend of Janet Heller. In the fall, Jan tried out for the musical group “Up with People” and was accepted. Audi- tions were held at the Coliseum and out of the 20,000 people who tried out. a scant 400 made it. Accompanied by Ms. Getzlaff, Jan went to the Coliseum at 5:00, hoping to audition before the show. This idea didn’t pull through, so after the concert, Janet tried out. Auditions includ- ed several vocal tests and a verbal inter- view. “Up with People” tours the entire United States, giving concerts in major cities. In early July, 400 excited perform- ers will arrive at Tuscon, Arizona to begin practicing for the tour. They come from all states and from several foreign coun- tries. Ages of the performers range from 18 to 24 years old. The cost per person for the year, $4000.00. At the end of the year, one third of the people are asked to stay on a second year. These lucky few get paid a salary and have a chance to sing overseas.

Jim Brand wrote many of the songs they perform, although they tried to stick to dancing music. The songs of Zeppelin, The Guess Who, and Peter Frampton were favorites of the emerging group. ‘‘The whole point is to have a good time, if someone is in a bad mood and is sent out smiling, we have done our job,” said Jim Brand. The Boyz familiarized themselves in Bedford by playing for the NHS Bash where many people saw them for the first time. This sort of recognition is how this group like other rock groups establish a reputation.

The scholarship is awarded annually to a Cleveland area graphic arts student by the Cleveland Graphic Arts council, a group of business people. For the last three years, this scholarship has been won by Bedford students. Bruce, who just this year became inter- ested in printing, applied for the scholar- ship downtown in early January, and later he was interviewed by a panel from the council. Mr. Galvin, the printing teacher, gave Bruce all the credit, “He just happens to be in my class and I recommended him for the scholarship.” The scholarship was presented to Bruce at a luncheon at Cleveland Plaza Hotel on January 18.

The float sessions, which started at Laura HollowelPs and ended up at Lor- raine Schuchart’s house, were work for some, and parties for others. Having won the float the preceeding year, there was a sense of confidence in the minds of many seniors. Unlike the winning float, the class of ’78 built last year, this year’s float was finished in plenty of time. With much help from John Takacs, motors were installed and a float with movable parts won the judges' praise.

The recipients represented the best of their class. They were recognized by the class as the most involved, the most dedicated and the most enthusiastic of almost six hundred students who made up the senior class. Evidence of these re- deeming qualities was demonstrated through the thought, time and energy these students put forth toward school clubs and activities throughout their three years at BHS. Senior class members were given the op- portunity to apply for the Hall of Fame at the beginning of the school year. They were required to complete applications listing the clubs, organizations and ser- vices of which they were participants. The names of these applicants were print- ed on ballots and in January, the ballots were passed out to seniors during second period. They were asked to cast their votes for the twelve students whose out- standing leadership and personality, they felt, contributed most to the morale and accomplishments of the class of 1978. The twelve students receiving the most votes became Hall of Fame Finalists. The next eight students receiving the most votes became Hall of Fame Semi-Finalists.

She was on the Senior Commencement Board. Lisa also utilized her musical ability in Band and A Cappella Choir. Laura Hollowell seemed to be invol- ved in every aspect of school life. She served as vice president to her class, and was a member of Student Senate as well as the Senior Commencement Board. As an athlete, she enjoyed be- ing a member of the Girl’s Softball Team and the Synchronized Swim- ming Team. Laura was also a member of Thearts. As a member of NHS, Amy Kaczur was academically as well as socially involved. She was an active member of Student Senate, and was involved creatively in Thearts and A Cappella. On Thursdays she joined the BUS crowd at Brandywine as a member of Ski Club. Senior class treasurer Nancy Krause demonstrated her love for music as an enthusiastic member of Band and A Cappella Choir. In support of her class, she was a member of Student Senate and the Senior Commencement Board. Nancy was a member of the yearbook staff, and a member of the Ski Club. Lori Fenton was vigorously involved in supporting her class. She served as class president in her sophomore and junior years, and was the vice president of Student Senate in her senior year. She was a member of the Senior Com- mencement Board. Lori was also a social room monitor and a scorekeep- er for the boy’s track team. Student Senate president Pam Moroz will be remembered for her dedication to this club as well as for her contri- butions as a member of AFS and Friendship Club. She donated her ser- vices as an office runner. Pam was also the 1977 Prom Queen. Laura Hollowell Pam Moroz 154 Seniors John Wiese Hall of Fame Finalists John Wiese was probably most noted for his good looks and eternal wit and charm. He was involved in sports of all kinds. First and foremost, he was a member of the football team. He also participated in intramurals, and was a member of Varsity B. John was also involved in Student Senate and Ski Club, and was the sports editor on the yearbook staff. Cheerleader Meg Stephen participated regularly in German Club, NHS, and Student Senate. She was also involved in the arts as a member of Girls Glee, the Jazz Ensemble and Thearts. Meg spent much of her time after school cheering at swimming meets or wrest- ling matches. She also donated her time and energy working on the year- book staff. Karen Tomondy was a diligent mem- ber of Student Senate. She performed athletically by participating in GAA as well as in intramural sports. She rep- resented her classmates on the junior and sophomore advisories. Karen was also a member of AFS. As a member of Student Senate and the Senior Commencement Board, Celia Farkasovaski helped in backing up her class. She was a class officer in her sophomore and junior years. She was a GAA member, and she took part in intramural sports. Celia was also musically involved as an Orchestra member. Senior class president Bob Juran show- ed signs of leadership. He headed the Senior Commencement Board as well as being an officer in German Club. He often found himself on stage making speeches or as an officer in Thearts. Bob was involved in sports as a mem- ber of Cross Country, Intramurals, and Ski Club. He was also a member of NHS. Cathy Rutherford was a dedicated member of Student Senate. She look- ed out for the interests of the class as a member of the sophomore and jun- ior advisory committee. Cathy also found herself on the slopes as a mem- ber of Ski Club, and she was a mem- ber of the Yearbook staff.

The choices of where to hold commencement, and whether or not to change announcements and caps and gowns were just a few of their many re- sponsibilities. Hie sale of announcements was one of the senior fund raisers, and this, along with the bash, provided the money the officers used to present the class with their gift. In addition to their specific duties like Nancy Krause’s de- posits and withdrawals, the class officers provide the first line of student reaction for the faculty and administration, no small task for a class with so many decis- ions on their way to the adult world. 156 Scniors Dennis O’Neill Kathy Orosz Kurt Osadchuck Alan Pacanovsky Ed fa parone John fapesh Barb fardue SWEET NOTHINGS.

Greg Gipko, Rick Grab- owski, and Lisa Tyson work on the design of future homes with Mrs. Lesler in Home Manage- ment class. 158 Seniors Mike Podojil Dave Poplowski Steve Posta Ernie Povrik Jim Prekop Karen Primer Did you ever think of ail the responsibili- ties and preparation involved in marriage or moving into your own apartment? These were some of the things Home Management and Home Design covered. Home Management included modern homemaking, money management or bal- ancing a budget, consumer buying, all types of insurance, detailed kitchen plan- ning, mate selection, different types of love and wedding planning. The wedding alone involved wedding and engagement rings, selection of china and silver, color of tuxedos and dresses, engagement and wedding announcements, premarital coun- seling and obtaining the marriage license. Marcie Davis said, “Home Management was casual and relaxed as was the material. It was fun, and a course 1 felt taught me something I could really use. You didn’t have to learn it all later the hard way.” Home Design was a course in which you made plans to design and decorate your home.

Joe Rushanan Andy Russo Cathy Rutherford Lynn Sablotny SELECT SIXTEEN The Rotary Club of Bedford selected two representatives from Bedford, alternating their sex and their house. The representa- tives were chosen after careful considera- tion. The basis of selection were leader- ship, service to the school, and citizenship. When selecting a Rotarian, counselors tried to choose people from a variety of programs. College prep, vocational and business students were all considered. Recommendations by teachers and coun- selors were taken for seniors only. By the end of the year, eight boys and eight girls were chosen even though they represented only a small number of the active seniors at Bedford. Rotarians dined at a luncheon every Tuesday for a month, meeting lead- ing citizens.

One consid- eration was if dishing out the money for college would pay off in the long run. In many cases students found they could not pass up earning money in favor of spend- ing it, especially with college costing any- where from $2,000 to $8,000 a year. Although an education in any terms is worthwhile, its usefulness in earning a liv- ing has become questionable. Technical school or skillful training may be becom- ing more popular since knowing a trade is more beneficial in finding work in today’s world than having a knowledge of history or English. To get an idea of what college would be the best, the school sponsored it’s annual college day, when representa- tives from Ohio colleges came to speak with perspective hopefuls in the resource center.

Although mother nature deprived us of a white Christmas, she over abundantly made up for it later. The worst winter in 107 years of weather history hit the area in late 1977 and early 1978 causing impossible driving condi- tions and postponing events of every kind. Several times during the year, Dr. Viering begrudgingly closed down the schools. Stu- dents complained very little about can- celed classes, but instead the complaint was how late the school closings were an- nounced. Many students braved the cold and snow in the morning only to find the school closed when they got there. Bus riders were running in place to keep their blood circulating, and students with cars were flicking their bics to unfreeze their car locks. Some school events had to be postponed because of the weather. The late January blizzard interrupted and postponed semes- ter exams. Even snow lovers had to admit that the winter was a little too wintery. Although skiing, snowmobile and ice skating enthusiasts were in their glory, it was ironic that even a ski club outing had to be cancelled due to blizzard conditions.

Often, especially during lunch periods or after school, there was a two or three person waiting line to endure. In a school with so many students, two phones, one in the main hall and one by the pool, hardly seemed adequate. For instance when school closed at 1 p.m. during a winter storm, the hallways were divided by the wall to wall lines of people waiting to arrange rides. When the phone was free it was irrita- ting when you had to use a quarter to make a call knowing full well that the machine wouldn’t give you change. Find- ing change of any kind was not an easy task. Since the senior social room was so close to the phone students were con- stantly running in there asking for change for a dollar. For some, talking on the phone between classes seemed to be a fa- vorite pass time. 166 Seniors Kathy Tyler Lisa Tyson John Urban Nick Urban Dane Vana Jim Vanek Mike Varabkanich Rose Ann Vartorella Tracy Vest Pat Vincent Mike VituUo THE WILD PAIR.

On July sixth, he and 1400 other cadets will start basic training for two months at West Point. The work is tough and the rules and restrictions rigid. One of the hardest parts of making it academical- ly is learning how to budget your time so you have time enough to study and get in the extracurricular activities, also required. Jim not only gets his entire four year edu- cation free, but he also gets three hundred and forty five dollars a month salary. Go- ing to West Point means a lot of hard work. When asked why he applied, Jim said the challenge of a military career and the chance for self improvment and travel overseas attracted him. Jim plans to major in electronic engineering when he gradu- ates.

SECOND STRING At one time, every student at Bedford High School is neither the youngest nor the oldest, but a “junior.” After surviving a year as a sophomore, the juniors are used to the high school routine, and have usually established new friends. Unlike sophomores, the juniors are accepted into clubs such as Girls Glee and vocational programs like Cosmetology. Being able to pick the courses which are to your inter- est is another favor given to the second year high school students. Most Sophomores feel as if they are always on the bottom and never seem to be noticed, but realize that their junior year will bring more opportunities. By the eleventh year of school, one realizes there is one more year to go, and the thought of being a se- nior and making the most of the time left seems to characterize the year. There is no longer the feeling of rushing through school and rushing to class, just a feeling of being in the middle and enjoying it. NOW, ON TO BOO BOO.

FM is the most popular band at BHS with 85% of the students listening exclusively to the stereo band. Through a random survey of students, 96KD, G98, WMMS, and Ml05 were the most popular stations. WMMS and Ml05 had the edge over the other two, probably because of the fewer commercial interruptions, the more progressive music, and their an- nouncers' personalities which have a spe- cial appeal to the rock generation. Of course, the ultimate radio personality is the Buzzard of WMMS. Music was the primary reason for listening to the radio, and the music varied slightly from station to station. For instance, G98 is known more for pop music and WMMS presents harder rock. Nonetheless, radio provided an inexpensive and popular form of entertainment. 174 Juniors PLAY THAT l UNKY MUSIC!

Vice President Joe Globokar caught a bet- ter view of the thinking patterns of his class, while Michelle Salvaggio and Trea- surer Lori Kozar both felt it was impossi- ble to get the rest of the Junior Class to help raise money. Money was raised through a candy sale, and also by selling potato chips and pop at the Student Sen- ate Disco Dance. The second problem the Juniors faced was a place to hold the prom. Echoes of rebellion were heard when the idea of a “cafeteria prom” was suggested. Finally, the class of'79 decided to hold the prom at Cobola's Party Cen- ter. Every year the Juniors struggle to keep their sanity during the prom plan- ning, but despite the frustration, a little extra investment returns a lot more glam- our than a cafeteria dance.

The junior float got started at the begin- ning of the school year. After thinking up a theme, the flower fluffing “parties” got underway. These sessions were every night until at least eleven o’clock, and the actual construction of the float began a few weeks later. Kathy Bartoroni borrowed a trailer from Bob Musal, the same man who let them use it last year. Kathy also al- lowed the juniors to build the float in her garage. “We’re smarter than the average Bear,” was the theme of the float, and Yogi Bear with a picnic basket was the central char- acter. Until less than an hour before the parade on Thursday, frantic construction continued. The finishing touches were put on the float just before the 6 p.m. start- ing time. The traitor was pulled by Tim Penix in his father’s truck. A few weeks after the homecoming game, the float went out in a blaze of glory in the back yard of Kim Lodge.

Generally, it is tradition to hand it down to the seniors as somewhat of an inheritance. The Spirit B originated with the class of ’75. It is a mystery to all just how it came about, but it has been with us since. This year something unusual happened to the agony of the senior class. The juniors won the Spirit B. Although the senior’s downfall was losing the con- test, having the winning float was the high- light of homecoming and somewhat re- deeming. Seniors worked hard for the Spirit B by bringing pots, pans, bells, and other interesting noisemakers, but the ju- niors yells beat even noisemakers.

For the first time in BHS history, the basketball games had half-time entertainment. The BHS Drill Team, also known as the Highsteppers, was formed to march at home basketball games in order to arouse school spirit. The drill team was open to anybody in the school who was interested. The team has a fine turn out with a total of ninteen girls signing up. Barb McGhee, Roxie Gunn, and Crystal Ramsey started the idea of a drill team at the beginning of the year. The advisers were Mrs. Pentilla, Mrs. Gilbert, and Mrs. Lesler, with Mr. Heard as the team’s chaperone. The girls were lead by Barb McGhee who served as Captain, and Karen Barnes, who served as major. The Highsteppers have big plans for next year. They plan to raise money through projects so the team can buy uniforms. The Highsteppers will also join the foot- ball half-time program next year. 182 Juniors II THIS LOCKS ...

It is especially hard to be at the bot- tom of the barrel in a school as large as Bedford. Most of the recognition goes to upper classmen who are familiar with the routine and tapped into all the activities. Everything has changed for the sopho- mores from the dismissal bells to wide halls. High school was the dream, but when it was looking the sophomores in the face, it was sometimes more frighten- ing than exciting. The thrust of the year was getting accus- tomed to the new routine, the faster pace of school and social life, and new friends. There was always something to look for- ward to as a sophomore, especially the next two years.

This system, which was put in by the manu- facturers, will help prevent students from leaving the resource center with books they have not checked out. This detection system was installed last spring and all the librarians worked for a week after school let out, putting detectors in the books; six-thousand in all. The system works on an electrical device, not a magnetic one like at the airport. Radio waves pass back and forth between glass panels on either side of the exit gate. When a sensitized book is taken through the gate, the radio waves react with the book and set off an alarm. Gates are located at both doors of the resource center and the lay out of the resource center has been changed so the circulation desk is next to the gates. The resource center was not open when school started because all the books had not been sensitized and the library I.D. cards were not ready yet. The publishing of the library cards was postponed so the security system could be completed. Hope- fully, the system will cut down the rate of book theft by 80% and will pay for itself in two to three years.

On Tuesday, September 6, new students met in their homerooms and were given a map and a schedule. The first impressions of the sophomores were very diverse. Cindy Hicar thought the school was very nice, while Bob Gerhard felt the school was too big. Bob Furlong thought he would never make it to class in four minutes, but in a week was making it just like the upperclassmen. Whatever the im- pressions, sophomores generally liked be- ing at the high school, except for a few students like Tom Gilday who thought whatever the setting, school was a big waste of time.

Chris Alpino and Frank Roberts learn to operate a lathe in Mr. Kramer’s mini-machine shop course. Any student, male or female, can take ad- vantage of the classes that are being held in a far corner of Bedford High called the Industrial Education department. The sophomore shop, a series of ten day mini- courses, introduces sophomores to the machines and materials of the printer, draftsman, auto-mechanic, or machinest. Small projects, such as a corner shelf or a basic circuit, provide the basis of the nine mini-courses. These courses include print- ing, auto mechanics, auto body, electron- ics, electricity, machine shop, wood, metals, and drafting. The second semester the sophomores select three courses which last six weeks each. The students sign up for their first three choices. Sophomores have the advantage of “trial and error.” As George Gaspare said, “You learn what the school has to offer.” � 8 O 8 O 0 Doug Magda Carmen Malone Lorn Marcus Todd Marshall Sue Martinez Colette Marvaso David Mathics Gerald Matus Jeff Mazur Shelia McBride Mike McDonald Laura McKillop Lance McLeod Bob McPherson Alison McRitchie Dive McSwain Patty Medici Rick Medici Jennifer Meyer Lucy Michetti Deb Miller Ken Miller Renee Miller Jim Milosovic Julie Milosovic Vickie Mioranza Dan Molick Dan Monahan Bill Money Laura Montgomery Sue Moore Nancy Morelli Sue Mormilc Don Morris Steve Motsco H 8 M 0) O 0 8 O Z o 8 M Sophomores 191 TWO DOLLARS ON LUCKY LADY IN THE THIRD.

A “spirit committee” of ten sophomores including Alison McRitchie, Steve Herbik, and Ross Randazzo attend- ed a class conference involving the selec- tion of rings. The lowest price of a girl’s ring was thirty-four dollars and a boy’s ring, thirty-nine. Although the styles were attractive, many students felt rings were impractical. “I’d never wear it, even if I bought one,” was a popular argument. Linda Canzoni expressed her feelings on class rings by saying that they were a waste of money. In contrast, Lori Kessel felt a class ring was worth it because it offered a nice way to remember her high school days.

First period study halls were filled with people trying to wake up, while eleventh period study halls were usu- ally empty due to the fact that students cut out to go home. Seniors had this privi- lege with the consent of the school and permission from their parents. The only al- ternative to study halls was an eight course day with a mere twenty minute break for lunch. To say the least, students preferred the boring study halls where, if they couldn't get away with gambling or social- izing, they could quietly sleep or daydream the minutes away. PM BREAKING OUT!

Senior social room occupants enjoy a spirited but uneven game of Black Jack. STUDENT TRUST: JUST A DUST? Bedford is considered a conservative com- munity, and the high school reflects this attitude, evidenced by the emphasis on the new discipline code. Good behavior is rewarded with extras like student ex- changes, special field trips, and career as- semblies. With seniority comes increased independence, and the senior social room and class offices are examples of privi- leges obtained by a responsible attitude as well as the courtyard, weather permit- ting. In spite of good influences and obvi- ous rewards, many students are attracted to violence and vandalism. Spray paint and broken glass are evidence enough that the new discipline code is not totally suc- cessful. As a result, theft in the classroom, unusable lavatories, limited field trips, fences, and stricter hall pass enforcement are commonplace obstacles for the major- ity of the student body. The school is a place where students learn about life out- side the protection of the school. They are getting an education in survival, even though they don’t realize it. Class offices provide a privileged alternative to studyhalls. 4 if 234 Closing Contemplating the new fence arrangements, John Mazur wonders what will get in or out. Jeff Sawastuk and Laurie Berry prove that school is sometimes more like a prison.

Closing 235 LOUE IT! IT WOULD REALLY BE OBEAT... AO RF R m AI M A r. Rex Davis, 1-nglish department chairman, ikes the idea of a shorter week and a longer jay. He would have more time to grade papers. Would you rather spend eight hours a day four days a week in school instead of six five hour days? This question was posed to a variety of students at BHS. 66% of the students asked were all for an extra day for the weekend. Mark Sweatt thought it would be a better format because he wouldn’t have to see his teachers as often. Derek Hamilton felt a longer weekend would make the extra two hours worth it. Sophomore Nancy Beach said, “It would get you used to an eight hour day at work.” The four day week was a popular idea among students and faculty although there is no indication that the majority will ever win in this case. The school society is rarely democratic. Bill Wilkens: You’d have a longer weekend to do the same thing you do on a regular weekend, but more of it. 236 C'losing Jackie l-'lccgic: I have enough as it is. It would make it harder to get a job. If I had to I would but I wouldn’t like it. Over 34% of the students polled on the subject of the four day week with an eight hour day were againist it. The maj- ority of these people felt an eight hour day of school was just too much to en- dure. As Mary Ellen Weber explained, “You’d sacrifice four days for one. It’s not an even deal.” Todd Wiese made his feelings clear when he stated simply, “No time to rest!” In order for a four day week to go into effect it would have to be ap- proved by the School Board. However as Mr. Vorlicky, assistant superintendent, pointed out, there would be busing prob- lems and a cut in employment. Therefore, the minority may win in this opinion poll, at least for the time being. Miss Kosar, North House English teacher, felt the longer day would be overwhelming and wipe out everyone. While there are alot of merits, there are alot of hazards. Closing 237 “THE LONGER OAV U)OUL0 BE OUERWELMINC” For many, like Mark Majcrcik, the armed ser- vices provide the easiest solution about what to do after graduation. Cosmetology, a two year vocational program, provides Jody Augustino, Laurie Day, and Sue Sekarak with some job security in an ever ex- panding field. 238 Closing College is an alternative to work, but comes with the hassles of endless paperwork and high costs. For perspective students. College Day provided a chance to explore the options of continuing education. ...SC WHERE TC NCW? Time and money play a large part in high school from the cost of the first dance to the price of the last announcement for commencement. The three years move from one good time to another, one ex- pense to another until sometime during the senior year the final choice of where to now has to be considered. And in that choice all the attitudes, values, and pres- sures from home during the last twelve years come to a climax. The climax is, of course, the decision, and the options of money now, or edu- cation now reflect values yours, your parents, or both. Those students who wanted money now started scouting for full time jobs in April, while the fore- sighted in vocational programs polished their skills relatively certain they’d land something because of their training. Some college bound students valued higher edu- cation as a means to an ultimate end that would hopefully mean more money and a desk type job, but many went the college route because it delayed going to work and promised a good time at paren- tal expense. For many of these perspective collegiates, education was not very valu- able except as relief from parental pressure to “make it.” When it came right down to it, the decision of where to now didn’t really prove to be a giant step into the world of the adult, but rather another ex- ercise in values clarification and conform- ity, hopefully accompanied with occasion- al good times at a minimum of personal and monetary expense. Hoping the business department provides the background for decent job opportunities in an office is senior Karen Barr. The beginning and the end is right here on Northficld Road. BHS is the end of school, but the beginning of some difficult choices.
