Recently, more and more students of Bedford High School put all troubles aside and retreated to the outdoors to en- joy whatever the seasons brought. For re- lieving pressures and drab everyday life, bicycling, horseback riding, hiking, or just plain relaxation became the favorite past time of students. Favorite picnicing areas included Squaw Rock, Lost Meadows, and the Glens. Jogging in the park or other natural surroundings relaxed and fostered both emotional and physical health. Yes. we are all getting BACK TO BASICS. What a way to stay in shape! Ross Randazzo, Tom Cichan, and Mario Bicnvenue go jogging after school. The parks’ many wonders .. .

Economics played a large part in the lives of BHS students. Because of the high costs of clothing and food, students de- veloped new interests in areas such as gardening and sewing. It wasn't unusual to enter the home of a BHS student and find them designing and sewing a new fashion. Besides drastically reducing the cost while remaining in style, showing their work to family and friends developed pride and interest in almost forgotten skills. Other common sights while walking through the streets of Bedford was seeing the community working diligently in their gardens. Growing, harvesting, and then canning their own food helped to cut their food budget in half. We are getting BACK TO BASICS. 4 Opening Opening 5 6 Opening 1 ft . We were in the midst of a revolution! If one walked through the halls or drove through the park it was possible to see students car- rying books and perhaps more important, reading them. On your next trip through town, stop at one of the communities’ fine book stores and you’ll be in for a bigger shock. Students! Students! And more students, crowd the book racks to browse, to select, or to socialize. Even educationally, the Bedford commun- ity has recognized the importance of a basic education and has added a fundamental writing course as a graduation requirement for the class of 1981 and all the classes fol- lowing them. Yes, it is BACK TO BASICS at Bedford High School. People you meet in bookstores these days . . . Dan Bowen and Kathy Podojil browse through Romito’s book store. Stranded on Globokar’s Island are: Sarah Orchard, Sue Todorovski, Ondy Venditti, Joyce Bistrican, Jim Milosovic, Joe Globokar, and Garry Chccki. (extreme left) Opcning 7 Life at BUS was not all books and business. Many students occupied their time enjoying the many opportunities of social life offered by the school. Friday night football games. Homecoming, and the Harvest Hop Dance crowned the fall evening agenda. Winter meant skiing, the annual NHS Christmas Ball, basketball games, wrestling matches, swimming meets and of course an occasional snowball fight or two. Cou- ple this with some hot chocolate, a blaz- ing fire, and some nice, soft music and you had a perfect ending to a perfect sea- son. As Spring arrived, the Sweetheart Ball and Prom highlighted the social calendar. But, nothing could compare with that ultimate ... graduation. Better than the average bear!

Board member, Mrs. Evelyn Sawastuk, shares a treasured moment with graduate, Debbie Parnell. EXPANDING During graduation ceremony students speculate about their future occupation Soft pastell shades of green and yellow begin to emerge as spring subtley yawned. An awakening of nature occured and a warm tranquil feeling gently radiated the newness of the season. Flowers began to bloom in brilliant shades of orange and red. The grass appeared as glistening emer- alds in the morning sun as the dew softly stroked the blades. Children also bloom as do the flowers. Growing and maturing into natures most precious piece of artwork until they are no longer children, but metamorphosized into young adults. Now the time had come for these young people to realize that moment for which they had worked and to be commended for their achieve- ments. Graduation honored these young peo- ple, ft was a solemn occasion in which all worked diligently to form a ceremony that was both special and memorable. Speeches gave recognition to their accom- plishments and songs somberly sung their acclamation. The final and most significant segment of the ritual came with the issuance of the diplomas. Satisfaction and fulfillment flowed from the eyes of the graduates as they grasped their diplomas for the first time. The class of 1978 left us many fond memories. It will long be remembered. The doors of BUS will remain open for the class of 1978. ELEGANCE Springtime showers, hearts in love and graduation set the scene for the prom At evening tide, on May 26, 1978 hundreds of elegantly dressed couples promenaded into Cabalas Sherwood For- est for the biggest social event of the year. The Sabers, a familiar sight at BUS proms, greeted these fun seekers with the strains of “Goodbye Doesn’t Mean Forever” which was also the theme selected by the junior class. While time marched forward, couples wined on punch, dined on roast beef, mashed potatoes, and fruit cocktail, and danced lightly across the floor. Camera shutters snapped rapidly capturing pre- cious moments of joy, waiting for the big moment. The coronation of queen Lorri Kozar was an emotionally filled event. As past queen Pam Moroz relinquished her crown to her successor, tears of joy fell freely from the eyes of the new heir. Attendants Lisa Lippitt and Sabrina Johnson and their escourts aided queen Lorri Kozar in her traditional solo dance after which the floor once again filled with couples. At the bewitching hour of midnight, couples headed back to BUS for the post prom. “F.asy Street” provided the sounds which lasted until 3:00 a.m. Most couples then found an open restuarant for a quick breakfast and scampered off to home for a few hours of badly needed rest. “O-O-OH, I’VE GOT THE FEELING”. Amy Kaczur dances her way through the excitement and laughter of the crowded dance floor. 12 Student Life The class of 79 bids Mr. Estok farewell by pre- senting him with a plaque. Mark Vadaj.

LOYALTY In spite of the rain and other misfortunes the fans managed to enjoy themselves Even though it rained, and we didn't “Roast The Rangers”, Homecoming still was one of the most exciting events of the fall. Float building marked the beginning of Homecoming preparations. Even though it was fun and we began work during the first week of school, a completed float seemed as unreal as “Starwars.” But with a couple of “all nights” and alot of school spirit, we did it. Now all we had to do was wait for the judges' decision on whose float was the best. As the many hours of anticipation boiled down to a few seconds, and our hearts felt as though they were in our throats, the announcements resounded across the field . .. “The winning float is “Roast the Rangers”, by the junior class. “All wasn’t lost for the seniors, however, because we did win the “Spirit B” award. As the Bearcats took a 12-0 lead into the locker room at half time, the band played, and the crowning of Queen Nita Pozar and her court of Judy McRitchie. Jessie Wehrum, and Judy Jacquet high- lighted the half-time festivities. Even though we lost our Homecoming game 19-12. we still shared many unforgettable memories, and these will always remain with us. The 1978-1979 Homecoming also marked the beginning of an annual Home- coming Dance. The Student Senate spon- sored the event and is hoping for a better turnout next year. Judy McRitchie and her escort Keith Uebele walk on to the field to take their places. Jessica Wehrum escorted by Todd Weise show their excitement with happy smiles. Judy Jacquet escorted by Joe Iannaggi will remember Homecoming as a cherished memory always. Student Life 15 LEADERSHIP Learning to grow into more productive and inventive adults in a modern society “Upon my honor, I pledge to prepare myself by diligent study and ardent prac- tice ...” This begins the VIC A club pledge that all members must take. The Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, rank as a national organization for stu- dents which deals primarily in industry, trade, technology, and health education. When classifying groups of this kind, Ohio ranks 2nd nationally giving way only to the great state of Texas. Although the organization failed soon after it began in 1930, some 20 states kept the idea alive. They individually or- ganized the clubs to suit the needs of their students. This continual interest eventually led to the reconstruction of the national organization in 1965. The ideas and beliefs of VICA are evident in their colors: Red and white represent the individual states and their clubs. Blue represents the com- mon union of the states and their clubs. While gold represents the individual. VICA has participated in many com- munity centered activities which has in- creased student pride and personal growth. Helping the elderly, driving voters to the polls, and volunteering to work for The Little Sisters Of The Poor were only three of the many successful projects performed by the Bedford Chapter. The big event of the year has always been choosing a VICA queen. This year was no exception. Eight girls competed for the honor of representing BUS in state wide competition. Each participant was privately interviewed by a pannel of judges. Each contestant then delivered a speech on why she desired to become queen. After all the points were totaled, Debbie Hocevar was declared VICA queen for 1978-79. After this grueling competition, a social featuring punch and cookies, sufficed to relax both the contestants, their escorts, parents, judges and school officials. 16 Student Life I want to make this perfectly clear”, says Presi- dent Vinnie Sisson as he addresses the audience of the VICA queen ceremony.

QOMANCING Soft lights and warm hearts add to the pleasure of the frosty February evening Those who walked through two feet of snow and ice and dared to brave two de- gree below zero temperatures were amply rewarded as the BUS cafeteria was trans- formed into Cupid’s Paradise. A huge ten foot heart, multicolored lights, red and white streamers, mini hearts, and of course, Cupid himself, adorned the walls and ceil- ings of an ordinary lunch room. Add a touch of music and the magic called the Sweetheart Ball emerged. “We're All Alone”, the theme of the dance, seemed inappropriate, since the usually poorly attended festivity enjoyed perhaps its largest attendance in recent history. As the snow continued to lay a white sparkling carpet outside, the cou- ples inside gingerly danced across the tloor waiting for the big moment. At last, the time had arrived, and the coronation of Karen Tomondy was in pro- cess. Sherry Howard, the 1977 Sweetheart Queen, tearfully but ever so gently relin- quished her crown to 1978's Queen Karen, as the crowd silently watched from their seats. The court, comprised of Senior at- tendants Karen Barr, Jen Genutis, and Kathy Houlahan, Junior attendant Jessie Wehrum, and Sophomore attendant Pam Bartoroni danced to the theme song “We’re Ml Mone . This fun Filled event not only fostered many happy memories but also served as a well deserved social break during the frigid midwinter months. Student Life 19 Iridescence An evening filled with the colors and feelings of the season Womens lib has nothing on us! This year’s first formal engagment, the Harvest Hop, a traditional girl ask guy dance turn- ed out to be an enormous success. The roomy cafeteria packed full of blissful couples proved that most wished to parti- cipate in the school’s first formal. The four candidates, Anita Vavra, Kathey Rote, Karen Bragg, and Lori Biros felt a strong sense of anticipation while awaiting the announcement of the new queen. The candidates chosen by Friend- ship Club were senior girls with their first year pins. In keeping with customs, the results were not known until the corona- tion procedures began. The excitment climaxed as Andria and Ondria Green, two members of the club, announced Lorrie Biros as the 1978 Har- vest Hop Queen. Dancing to the theme song “Just the Way You Are, Queen Lorrie Biros and her escort Tom Redig were soon joined by the court in the coronation da nee .“Lefty, an up and coming group of young musi- cians provided the entertainment for the evening. Friendship Club who had spon- sored the event furnished the refreshments. The Autumn-like decor included shad- ows of gold and brow n w hile the cheerful faces of pumpkins embellished the tables. Couples had to keep warm this year since Venditti Studios photographed pictures in the chilly south wing courtyard. All of these memorable events added to the enjoyment and success of the mellow occasion. “When is it going to be our turn? Couples patiently wait m the chilly court yard for their pictures to be taken. 20 Student Ule lnendship Hub Shadowy silloucttcs set the mood for the evening while couples enjoy casual conversation. 1978 Harvest Hop Queen Ronnie Petron cheerfully relinquishes her crown to 1979 Queen Lori Biros. “What are you doing after the dance?

Student Life Friendship Gub 21 It is not often apparant what goes on behind “And they say love is blind” .. . One of the groups puppets speaks on the merits of being good. Familiar characters enchant their young audiences at many performances Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the stages of a puppet production? A puppet group known as P.A.C., Puppets in Action for Christ got started when the advisor, Barbara Martinez, a 1972 BUS graduate, and currently a teacher at War- rensville Sr. High, went to Student Mission Corps. Here she learned to work with pup- pets. The group started out with adults but now the show is run by Junior and Senior High students. Without practice, hardwork, and prayer, the key words to success, a puppet produc- tion could turn out to be a disaster. Holding a puppet up for a period of five to fifteen minutes was not as easy as it looked. Skill, a little bit of muscle and endurance was needed. This group actually consisted of fifteen members, six of which were students at the High School. However, many B.H.S. guys and gals have actively belonged to this group trying to spread the word of Christ through puppets. Performance meant months of preparation and cooperation, but their rewards were numerous. P.A.C. has traveled from Randall Mall to Mexico, and has performed in both English and Spanish. Needless to say, they were a success. .... but whatever it is, it sure shows in the eyes of the audience. 22 Student Life P.A.C.

The outward appearance of another personality adds color to a successful play to help with finishing touches during the last minute rush. Finally, opening night arrived. Excite- ment, and apprehension ran high. As the last make-up touches were completed, hands began to sweat and shake, as curtain time drew closer. The director, Mrs. Costa, gave her last words of encouragement and headed for her seat in the audience. The cast stood alone. As everyone’s emotions climaxed, shouts of “Good Luck’’ and “Break a Leg!”, echoed in the performers’ ears. The curtain rose, act one, act two, time flashed by and before it was realized cur- tain call began. Cheers of congratulations were heard admist the applause as each member of the cast took a bow. The last curtain dropped. It was over! Success,... again! The memories remained, and .. . the new friends. Everyone involved walked away with a sense of pride, realizing they had reached a goal together. Walking on stage ... in front of an audience took guts, composure, and tal- ent. Every move was watched and judged critically. Thearts members considered that fun. That was what “Thearts’’ did best; per- form. But along with that there was much more. A production started out with casting. Try-outs were nerve-racking and competi- tive. Making the cast gave member each a sense of confidence and satisfaction along with the knowledge that weeks of dedica- tion and practice were ahead of them. The cast was only half of the story. The crews were the other side. Although not as glamorous, the dedication was still present. Costumes, publicity, and props were just a few.

Musical inclination . . . epitome . . . The Madrigal Singers of Bedford High, comprised one of the many prides of our music department. As in year’s past, six- teen members of A Capella Choir were chosen to be Madrigal Singers. As a class, the group met each morning during first period and rehearsed their music. Arrayed in burgundy and rose the group presented their songs with style to a variety of audi- ences. There was no credit given. However, each member had the distinct honor of being a Madrigal. Of all the choral groups at BHS, A Capella was the oldes, largest and still the most popular because of its wide sense of students and musical style. First row: P. Ward low. A.

All new members were inducted into this organization at a ceremony attended by their parents and the senior members of A Cappella. Each new member received their green robe, then as everyone joined in with the traditional, “Bless You and Keep You”, a feeling of magic overcame the ceremony and the new members real- ized that they too, were now an integral part of a unit. Sophomore Chorus was a chance for students to continue their musical educa- tion. The experience of being in Sopho- more Chorus aided the students when they tried out for A Capella and Madrigal. Although the Sophomore singers lack- ed the confidence of the other groups, with the support of Mr. Bunker, their con- certs were a success. Girls’ Chamber Ensemble, better known as Girls’ Glee, met each day during 10th period to rehearse their concert music. Robed in traditional purple, the girls sang for elementary schools in the area, and joined the other choral groups in the Christmas and Spring Sing Concerts. These girls receive one half credit for their efforts, along with a better under- standing of the art of singing. Although Girls’ Glee was a much smal- ler group this year, they still treated their audiences to a variety of well known and enjoyable music. Student Life Choir 29 A note of delight fills the air as the band prepares to play for marching season Many students enjoyed a long lazy sum- mer, but the members of the Big Green Music Machine cut their summer short. In August, Pre-canp rehearsals began a new marching season. These gave new members a chance to become aquainted with their conteporaries. Soon following the precamp rehearsals was Bandcamp. Band camp took place the week of August seventeenth through the twenty-second at FCC Camp Muskingum, a beautifully wooded area with a spark- ling lake, canoeing, swimming, tennis, and many other activities. Bandsmen seldom found enough time to take full advantage of these. The worst part of band camp was waking up at 6:00 A.M. and having to run outside the dorm into a nearby build- ing to use the facilities. Mornings were chilly, and no one wanted to be caught in their zebra striped pajamas. The food was very good in camparison with food from past years in which you weren’t sure if it was sausage you were biting into or the fork. In many cases, a fork would have been much more desirable After breakfast, nine or more hours of off and on field practice followed. The beginning of the week was spent reviewing basic marching techniques. After facings, flanks, and pinwheels were mas- tered, pre-game and post game routines were prepared, and soon the work began to pay off as the band executed exciting drills. Along with working on marching music and drills, good times were spent with old and new friends. After four days of jobs, orders, and shaving cream, Black Monday, the highlight of camp arrived. “WILL EVERYONE HLRL, KINDLY STEP TO THE REAR?” Terri Jones pushes her way to the back of the bus after a cold Friday Night game.

It will be exceptionally memorable because not only “greenies” were initiated, but also Assistant Director, Frank “Zubee” Zubek, this being his first year with the bank. Mr. Zubek had second thoughts about his new position after just one day of the seniors harassing him. Nevertheless, he put up with them and made it through the marching season. The class of 1981 will always recall Black Monday when Dennis Bartelheim and Rob Roseman sentenced them to their doom. They will also remember the shocking screams of Deb Cichan and Paula Davis who posed as electricutioners. Peg- gy' Furlong, Lorri Kozar, Jessie Wehrum, and Karen Pilarczyk will be remembered for their breathtaking costumes. After band camp, as the week went on “CIMBA, CIMBA, OOH AHH!” Senior drummer, Mark Vadaj, beats the base drum while the sen- iors in the band go crazy during the first “Cim- ba” of the season. the Bedford Band could be found at its usual location on Wednesday nights, the Stuart Athletic Field. Shouts of “Hit” and “Pick em up” could often be heard. Some of the most memorable sounds were Mr. Doane’s shrill whistles and the unusual sounds that came from his temper- mental megaphone. Mr. Doane found that Wednesday night practices were the best times to have music checks. All band members seem to agree that music checks were the most un- desirable part of practice. The band also held extra night practices when needed as well as daily practices in school. Pep band, another popular division of the music department, was a non-credit, extra-curricular activity. This voluntary group of students’ played for home B-Ball games and a few mat contests. Majorettes: Glenda Moore, GayLynn Guthrie, Janet Vogini, Karyn Pilarczyk.

Because of the overwhelming in- terest and excellent musical abilities of its’ many talanted musicians, this award winning Jazz Ensemble gave birth to a second Jazz group of equal quality. Their main thrust and emphasis was improvisa- tion, and of course. Jazz music. Many colleges, both locally and state- wide, invited our musicians to compete with other high school Jazz Ensembles at their respective campuses.

Students had several choices when deciding in what way they wanted to aid the school. Some students ran errands for the house offices or the main office. Sometimes simple filing of student sched- ules or sorting of teachers mail was also a part of the work. Another choice for a student was to work in the resource center. Here he could assist the librarians and also help other students. The other choice for the student was to help out in the clinic. If a student spent most of his free time in one of these places and he was familiar with the sur- roundings he was always welcomed and appreciated. Taking some of the smaller work from the secretaries, librarians, and nurses, also helped the students get into the National Honor Society because one of their requirements was service. Students who did use their free time in this con- structive way found a certain satisfaction in their work. When there wasn’t work to be done the time was used just as though it were a study hall. • Hi SAYS HE LOVES YOU?” Laura Mont- gomery and Pam Augostino take a break from office duties and study for their upcoming class. “HERE’S MY PHONE NUMBER ...

Student Life Aides Pg. 37 today, the memories of tomorrow The last of this season’s concerts are just about over, but look forward to a great schedule of spectacular events right around the corner. With new stage set- ups and new rock-n-roll, this year’s tours of your favorite rock stars is going to be fabulous. Most of the rock-n-roll concerts were performed at the Coliseum in Rich- field, Ohio, but when more popular rock groups got together for an over-demand- ing crowd, the Cleveland Stadium was the place. With over 86,000 tickets sold, the performers were expected to do their best. One group, Aerosmith, had cancelled their tour of Cleveland four times in a row causing many angry and upset fans. But, when Aerosmith toured Cleveland for the fifth time the audience was hy- sterical, the rock group was terrific, and the wait was worthwhile. Such great rock groups as the J. Geils Band, Queen, Yes, Aerosmith, Bob Seger, and the Michael Stanley Band are what made Cleveland the rock capitol of the world. The concert era is definately still going strong and Cleveland is the place to be. Lead singer, Jon Anderson, of the group Yes, encourages audience participation while performing at the Coliseum. Singer and rhythm guitarist Steve Howe, uses his musical ability to bring enthusiasm to the crowd.

Mistletoe Dancing away the chills of the season with the warmth of their hearts We had just entered a season char- acterized by a sprague of mistletoe, a breath of cold crisp air, the sounds of jingle bells and of course the N.H.S. Christmas dance. The year the annual winter formal was held on December 15, in the high school cafeteria. A sparse but happy crowd dressed in cheery flowing gowns and suits danced to multi talented sounds of popular band Airborne. This year's theme was “Aspenglow,” a song originally sung by John Denver, which added an extra touch of warmth to the festivities. Another extra touch added by the club this year was that having its members dress up as elves to advertise the coming of the dance. The Coronation was a winter fantasy come true for Queen Larie Salvie and her court. Last year’s Queen Lauren Vogini relinquished her crown and her reign, to Laurie as the onlooking crowd watched. This year’s Christmas dance was a time to remember by all who attended. Who knows, because of the success of this year’s dance the Christmas dance may once more become a tradition at Bedford High.

Many students wondered, but only a few had the determination to begin asking the right people the right questions. Seniors Tim Murphy and Marilyn Sabo were re- sponsible for the organization of this year’s club. In early November, Tim and Marilyn began the search for advisors. Mr. Daugherty, Mr. Fowler, and Mrs. Ebel volunteered themselves for the job. Their first task was to establish new rules which included that all members had to ride the bus “if they wanted to be in the club”. Another rule with alot of impact was that nobody was allowed into the bar even though they were eighteen. Many students felt the rule about the bus was unfair, and a slight decline in the number of members resulted from this. Brandywine, as in the past, was the location of this years skiing for the club. The cost for this years membership was thirty dollars for people with equipment and forty-five dollars without ski equip- ment. Included with this cost was six nights of skiing, between the hours of six and eleven, and three freebie tickets which covered lift cost. Everyone looked forward to going skiing with their friends.

Student Life Ski Club 43 Toga Bedsheets, rope, and crown, three important items for a good saturnalia Chariot races, gambling, and tables of food, doesn't sound much like a school activity, but this was what set the scene of the First Annual Saturnalia at Bedford. Members of Mr. Hogue’s and Mrs. Dick- ard’s Western Civilization classes spent an afternoon in late December in celebration of this Roman festivity. The Saturnalia was originally an an- cient Roman celebration held once a year during the month of December in honor of the god, Saturn. Depending on the ruler at the time, the festivities could last anywhere from four to seven days, or longer! At this time wrestling, eating, drinking, and other entertainments were enjoyed. Many of our traditions such as having huge feasts of food and the giving of gifts stem from this Roman celebration. One tradition also held annually was that of electing the Lord and Lady of Misrule. Bedford naturally chose their own Lord and Lady. The Lord was Mark Patsolic while the Lady was Kathy Podojil. Also to make their Saturnalia even more au- thentic, the students participating wore togas, garments made from bedsheets, curtains, or whatever was available, like those of the ancient Romans. Games were chosen by Lord Mark and Lady Kathy and the Saturnalia went into full swing. A once unexciting B.H.S. cafeteria was transformed into a lively Roman party. In addition to the educational lesson learned, the classes had a lot of good clean fun! The Second Annual Satur- nalia next year promises to be even bet- ter, so be sure to sign up for Western Civilization now. HOPE NOBODY CATCHES ME STACKING THE DECK!

The Intramural Program at Bedford and checkers to table tennis and volley- High School gave the students and faculty a chance to participate in an activity to- gether, other than school work. This gave the students a chance to see the faculty in a different perspective and gave the faculty a chance to associate with the stu- dents in a different environment. Overall about 250-300 students, both male and female, were involved in the pro- gram. Intramurais allowed students and faculty to participate in both mental and physical activities, everything from chess ball. Other sports included were basket- ball, softball, tennis, and a new sport just added this year, jogging. Basketball was the only intramural sport that was not co-ed since it was a contact sport. The advisors. Mr. Borys Korduba and Mrs. Bonnie Balcer, are trying to diver- sify the program according to the needs of the students. Mr. Korduba said. “The students of Bedford High actually enjoy intramurais. It’s working!” Yes, the Intra mural Program is working.

Under the supervision of a newly appointed advisor, Miss Leigh Don- ovan, the old members of the club started a membership drive which lasted for two weeks. After recruiting new members. Friend- ship Club started work on planning their year's activities. The club has three an- nual projects: The Harvest Hop, The Christ- mas project, and The Faster project. The Harvest Hop was the first formal dance of the year and it turned out to be a big success. For the past eight to ten years Friend- ship Club has collected, and restored the necessary, toys. These toys were then wrapped and given by Santa Claus to needy children living in the Bedford area at the club’s annual Christmas party. Friendship Club’s final project of the year was at Faster time. The members went to the Jenning Home and presented each elderly person with a basket filled with candy. At the end of the year, new officers were elected at the Pa-Ma-Me banquet. So ended a fun year for the Friendship Club. WHAT DO YOU W ANT FOR CHRISTMAS? WHEN CAN WE EAT?

Whether your interest lay in writing, auto repair, cosmotology, or secretarial skills, BHS supplied you with at least the basics. An assortment of classes were available in “block style”. These usually extended through four periods of the day. In this way students spent concentrated time working toward a definite goal. Also, through O.W.E. (Occupational Work Ex- perience) and D.E. (Distributive Educa- tion) students went to work after spend- ing only a half a day at school. With this experience behind them they found it was much easier to get a job after gradua- tion. Comprehensive education for all-that is what BHS considered getting BACK TO BASICS.

This training was often helpful in getting good jobs. The numerous courses offered usually met five periods a day extended over a two year term. Included in these courses was auto mechanics, auto body, electronics, machine shop, and cosmetology. Women lib worked both ways in the Vocational Education Department, not only were there three girls in the shop classes, but there was also one guy in the junior cosmetology class. The biggest thing I have going for me is know- ing that there will always be a demand for people with an education in Auto Body.-Drew Duale I am learning the basic skills right now in which I can go out and get a job as a mechanic 1 didn’t have to learn it all on my own like I would if I didn’t take it.-Dave Machacck 1 would still finish high school even if Bedford didn’t have a vocational wing but it is nice that I can go to school and learn what I enjoy. - Pete Sebauer I feel that this course puts me ahead of 907c of the students in Bedford. When I get out of school I will have a skill that will guarentee me a job in the outside world.-Mike Smith Academic Life 53 Industrial Arts DRAFTING METALS PRINTING WOODS DEXTERITY A needed ingredient for future successes Industrial Arts concentrated on bring- ing together art and technology for design of products commercially in everyday life. The primary goal of Industrial Educa- tion as a whole, was and remains to teach tools, material, and processes. At B.H.S. the Industrial Education Department offered three different cours- es. Printing, woods, metals, Machine shop, drafting, and architecture were just a few of these. Three hundred eighty five students of which fourteen were girls, both joined and enjoyed working and participating in these classes. As Mr. Galvin, Industrial Department Chairman says; “Of course we’re prejud- ice, but we think everyone should know how to read blue prints, rewire a lamp, and know how printing is made.” By being involved in printing, and seriously working at it, I can be pretty much assured of a job after graduation, and working where 1 en- joy,-Russ Slaby In Woods I have learned to construct furniture and in doing something I enjoy and interests me. I’m more enthusiastic about the class and want to come.-Dan Predericks In Welding you do a little of everything so it is not like other subjects where you get bored fast, and start to dislike the class.-Jerry Finner- ty Drafting can help you in many different areas such as precision drawing, designing projects, and maybe even designing your own house some day.-Marc Pang Academic Life 55 Libera! Arts ENGLISH SPEECH SOCIAL STUDIES HUMANITIES ENLIGHTENMENT From epic teachings serve the present The Liberal Arts department of BHS provided an education in four of the basic areas: English, Speech, Social Studies and Humanities. A minimum of three English credits were necessary for graduation, and at BHS, the students could choose from approxi- mately 20 courses, featuring such favor- ites as Contemporary Reading, Creative Writing, and College Writing. Speech, a requirement for graduation, stressed the importance of communicat- ing and communications in general. Many times a student entered this course appre- hensively and doubted it s value. However, the rewards skills acquired here became apparent. Social Studies and Humanities were both concerned with the growth of socie- ty. It's fun teaching such students that want to learn, they usually work hard and take pride in doing their work neatly, correctly, and have it in on time.-Rex Davis I think Speech gives me confidence in myself, knowing that 1 can go in front of a class and talk about something that interests me and I can enjoy telling others.-Pam Tyson 1 think everybody should know the history of their country, and should be able to under- stand what their laws arc and why these laws are needed.-Raman Dhillon In Humanities 1 can use most of my skills and know that it helps me improve them. It has also shown past history, for what it was, so that we can learn from our mistakes.-Pat Malone Academic Life 57 Fine Arts ART MUSIC DRAMA ORCHESTRA TALENTED Expressing creativity through other means BHS provided elective classes in areas of fine arts: Music, Art, Drama, and Orch- estra. Anyone with a good voice or an inter- est in music could try-out for one of the four singing groups. Sophomore Chorus introduced them into the world of music. From there auditions which further dem- onstrated musical ability often lead to Girls Glee, A Capella, and Madrigal Choir. Orchestra was known for their annual concerts they performed. Orchestra spent time during school and after to bring qual- ity performances their audiences are ac- customed to. Any student interested in Drama could take the acting class that was given and, join Thearts. Through the clubs after school rehearsels, one could have partici- pated in any of their major productions or or small one act plays. Art Service, under Mr. Rabatin, was a class where students volunteered to work on bullentin boards or posters for the school. I enjoy teaching students and being able to direct A Cappella, Girls Glee, Madrigal, and Sophomore Chorus along with getting to know the students.-Max Bunker The main challenge in Art is seeing if you can complete your projects. I also think that if someone has skill they should be able to ex- press it in school too.-Debbie Stasny Playing in the Orchestra gives me a better un- derstanding of all music, and memories of alot of great times with my friends in Orchestra. - Jenny Gerycz The challenge of The Arts was whether or not I could memorize my lines and master my ner- vousness in order to perform.-Dave Santoli Academic Lifc 59 Languages FRENCH GERMAN SPANISH TMUNGUU Hola! tag! bonjour! the choice is yours About 475 students became a part of the Foreign Language Department. Four full time teachers-two Spanish, one Ger- man, and one French teacher made up the staff while on other German teacher com- muted for one class. There were 24 classes offered in this department. Most students took the first two years of language because of the col- lege requirements. After two years the students that go on must have a real in- terest in learning to speak and write flu- ently, and to learn more of that culture. When students leave this department they can be assured of at least a basic knowledge of that language and the un- derstanding of a culture much different from our own. The biggest challenge of French is teaching stu- dents a new language, but I also feel the advan- tages are-travel, communication, and self sat- isfaction.-Mrs. Hannah 1 plan to major in foreign languages at college and believe Bedford High has a pretty descent foreign studies department-John Papcsh Spanish is one language that is very similar to English, it seems that everyday we learn some- thing new.-Toni Marinch I feel that it is important to know another lan- guage in case I ever travel abroad to another country I would know something.-Terry Toth Academic Life 61 Vocational Business - ACCOUNTING C. O.E. D. E. SECRETARIAL TEMSSCTIOHS And transition from high school to work The Vocational Business training was a very wide spread program that offered many in and out of school experiences. The Co-operative Office Education (COE) was a work study program dealing with office work. It allowed seniors to leave early in the day and go to work. Job as- sistance was offered upon graduation and aided in finding a job for the student. The Distributive Education program dealt with sales and marketing. Other courses included the Accounting and Com- puting Programming, and the Steno-Clerk program. Both of these were two year courses which meet three hours daily. Approxiamatly one hundred and twen- ty students were involved in one of these two clubs, DECA and OEA. These clubs held state contests and conducted spring banquets, inviting their parents and em- ployers. I think working with the secretarial wing and learning and adapting skills is preparing me for a career choice after graduation.-Kathy Rote I feel this course will help me in the future on entering a college of business, and I think it will help me with my personal records and ac- counts.-Gaylynn Guthrie Cooperative Office Education provides me with experience for what 1 believe will be a challenge- ing future ahead.-Cathy James Distributive Education provides me with train- ing for a job after high school and a chance to work a half a day after school in training for the future.-Chuck Bova Academic Life 63 Genera! Business BOOKKEEPING BUSINESS LAW SHORTHAND TYPING FIGURES Dictate the careers of many BHS grads The General Business Department, de- signed to provide skills for everyday use for the non-vocational or college prep stu- dent, offered a total of ten courses taught by ten teachers. Typing I was designed to teach the basic skills, while Typing II stressed the production skills. Personal Typing was a semester course which provided you with your plain basic skills. Bookkeeping basically incorporated tenth graders and stressed skills which could be applied to accounting. While Accounting 1 and II remained primarily junior and senior courses. Business Law stressed basic legal pro- cedures of business, and Survival Econo- mics taught such things as how to fill out job forms, budgeting, and buying. These were jointly taught by the Social Studies and Business teachers. 1 think the biggest challenge in typing is to see just how fast and accurate I can type, and be- lieve that this course can help in the future when looking for a job.-Debbie Gorenc 1 have taken Business Law mostly for my per- sonal need if I ever desire to open up my own business. I think it is important to keep up on these laws as a consumer also.-Jeanette Jon- nozzo Being in Shorthand now I think I will have a better chance at a secretarial job in the future, and I feel that it can help me personally in tak- ing notes in class.-Linda Jasiewelicz In Bookkeeping 1 learn how to record the ac- counts and transactions of many different kinds of businesses.-Marianne Trizzino Academic Life 65 NEWSPAPER YEARBOOK DEADLINES Students from both work against time Newspaper and Yearbook were the only two classes students had their work pub- lished. The Bedford High Epic has been pub- lished for the last fifty three years. Students met 11th period daily, after school and occasionally on Saturdays to put together a year of “lasting memories” in 224 pages. Throughout the year staff members of both publications tried to capture the year at Bedford through pictures, and the students writing in print as a record. The Fourth Estate Newspaper put out an eight page paper every three weeks, and two extra-large issues at Christmas and graduation. Both publications were financed by the staff selling advertising to area busi- ness persons, and selling their publication. Somehow, even though it was always a long, hard struggle, seeing their work in print was a fulfilling reward. Being an editor in both Newspaper and the Yearbook, was a challenge all year with meeting deadlines, and dealing with other staff mem- bers on a professional level.-Dana Zavodny Yearbook provided me with the experience needed to go into a small town newspaper and have an awareness of what was going on and how to work with other people.-Sharon Yoho You can't float through Yearbook. You have to do your own work knowing what you get is what you put into it. It is also a self disciplincr for you to get your work done.-Megan McGel- lan You have to essentially stop being a student and become a real newspaper person, to be able to put out a complete paper every two weeks.- RoscAnn Danko Academic Life 67 Science BIOLOGY CHEMISTRY EARTH SCIENCE PHYSICS IICBK010IT Advancement via test tubes and tests Bedford High featured one of the fin- est Science departments in the area. A staff of seven teachers taught eight cour- ses. three of which were weighted. Many Bedford students scored well above aver- age in both state and nation on the science section of the ACT exams. For many different reasons six hun- dred fifty students participated in this department. Some took the courses to satisfy school and state requirements. Others were college-bound and wanted a well rounded education and attempted to satisfy entrance requirements. BHS’s science majors usually took all or most of the courses offered. What ever their reasons for enrolling, students could expect to learn a great deal in this department. 1 feel it will be to my advantage to take Chem- istry here at Bedford or if 1 plan to go to col- lege I’d have to take it there and it would be harder.-Chris Natali i 11iniis. mi.3 umiKi any taught at Bedford.

These various courses were taught by a staff of six teachers. Most students took first-year Algebra, since one credit of Math was required for graduation. The upper level courses were most often taken by college-bound stu- dents. While Calculus was a choice for the. math-science major, some students felt that unless the student entered an engin- eering or scientific field, a course higher then Algebra I was not necessary. However, the benefits lay in the fact that mathe- matics stimulated the mind and increased the power of reasoning. Learning how to reason in the classroom enabled the stu- dent to reason and cope with real life sit- uations. Geometry teaches you how to think problem out logically. I also like working with figures. - Pat Collins I took Business Math so that I would have a better understanding of Math in the small busi- ness world.-Brian Dickard The advantages of Algebra arc that it teaches me mathematics that many might have to use in college or out of school.-Tom Walker I feel taking Calculus in high school will help me in college and any other field I might decide to go into.-Keith Uebcle Academic Lifc 71 Physicai Education HEALTH SWIMMING PING PONG WEIGHTLIFTING ACTION Thorough exercise benefits everyone The Physical Education Department offered a wide variety of coruses. Some of the most popular included volleyball, basketball, tennis and swimming. How- ever some new and unusual courses have been added this year. Some of those were lifesaving, jogging, and dancing. An integral part of the Physical Educa- tion Department was Health class. This was a required course for graduation and was usually taken care of as a sophomore requirement. The objectives of the Physical Educa- tion Department remain as follows: to develope and maintain physical efficiency and to establish desirable health and safety attitudes. To develope interest in recreational activities, knowledge in all phases of sports, such as abiding by rules and regulations and learning how to be a good spectator. I became involved in Weightlifting so that 1 might be able to build up my muscles for the basketball team and know that I am pretty well fit as an athlete.-Horace Keyes Diving gave me a break in my daily schedule to exercise, and gives me a chance to know a few more ways to improve my diving ability.-Scott Andrus Ping-Pong gives me a chance to enjoy a free time between my academic classes and get credit for just plain enjoying myself.-Ken Miller I took Health because it is required and I think it gives me a chance to know more about me- what is good and what is bad for me.-Steve Hauser Academic Life 73 Home Arts FOODS COSMETOLOGY SEWING EOKEVORK Perfected through in school course work The Home Arts Department was not just a cooking or sewing class. It consisted of much more. A total of nine courses were offered, three of which were foods and three of which were clothing. Child Care, Home Design, and Home Manage- ment rounded out the curriculum. These courses remained open to all students with an amazing number of guys involved, especially in foods, of course. Mrs. Leslcr headed this department and with three other teachers handled approx- imately 700 students. Most of the classes did meet more than one period a day. The main goals of these courses con- cerned teaching the students basic and principal skills that may be used on the job as well as at home. I feel that teaching Home Arts lets me teach students how to understand themselves, be aware of their wants and needs, and learn that will help them in the future.-Josie Lesler I had taken foods because I like to cook and wanted to learn more ways on how to cook a more nutritional meal, how to plan a meal for a family, etc ... -Tina Mione Because I took sewing in school, I plan on saving more money in the future on clothes and other things that I might be able to scw.- Cheryl Beets Cosmetology class teaches me everything 1 need to be a hairdresser, and all 1 have to do is go down to Columbus and take the state test, and pass it to become a hairdresser.-Karen Trankito Academic Life 75 Individual Studies TV RADIO PHOTOGRAPHY Ml SK CMITIVITY Expressed through personal motivation Have you ever wanted to do a project or take a course not offered at BHS? Well, Individual Investigation has given you the opportunity. This specialized course was not for every student, it was for the crea- tive, mature, and above all responsible student. There were certain steps to be develop- ed when persuing an Individual Investiga- tion study. The first was to choose your idea. The second step was to find a staff member who had a working knowledge of your subject and also to act as your advisor. Then together, you worked step by step to develope your project. Finally you acquired the approval from your counselor, the principal and your advisor. If it was accepted by all three, you were ready to start. Some of this year’s projects included foods and cooking of different cultures, studies of countries, television, radioactivi- ty, art and even Greek Mythology. Television is what I plan on making my career and I think it is good if students are given the opportunity to start studying before college.— Dave Sharp I think Individual Studies is good for the student who can’t fit a subject into their schedule, it enables them to pick a subject which interests them.-Karen Khan I enjoy photography, and as a sophomore I was not able to join yearbook and newspaper until my junior year, so 1 got a head start through an Individual Investigation.-Ron Hagler Academic Life 77 AM I SUPPOSED TO BE HERE? Crosscountry runner, Ron Theberge, and golfer, Chuck Kova- chick, discuss their respective sports during a practice. Most of the Bedford teams weren't known for being champions this year, but they were very spirited. Our Cats fought hard and were rewarded with sup- port from their loyal fans. Braving the wind, rain, cold, and snow, enthusiastic students, parents, and faculty came to cheer for their teams. Having fun was the important thing. Athletics at Bedford High School meant sitting with your friends or steady and sharing your hopes and excitement. Being low on funds for Friday night never hurt, because the games were always af- fordable. Maybe it sounds corny to some people, kind of like a rerun of “Patty Duke”, but at Bedford High we were get- ting BACK TO BASICS. SHOULD I STAND IN THE CORNER, TOO?

Many times the missing ingredient seemed to be that clutch hit, or big play. Sometimes we just plain booted away the game. But, the important factor was our competiveness. We were always in the game and never out-classed or out- hustled even though most of the team was comprised of juniors. Senior Matt Gabordo led this version of the baseball club. His all around play as catcher, pitcher, and first basemen, earned him all league honors and a start- ing birth in the annual all-star game. The 1978 Junior Varsity Base- ball team, which consisted totally of sophomores, had a seemingly dis- mal season winning only five of their nineteen games. The JV Cats began their season with a 6-2 victo- ry over Wickliffe. However, the roof caved in as they lost their next nine games, which included seven conference games. This showing put the Cats firmly in last place in the GCC. The kitten fledglings then de- cided it was time to begin winning and they conquered four of their next six opponents. During this winning streak the Cats beat East- lake, Maple, Mayfield, and Mentor and they lost to Euclid and Orange. This boosted both the JV Cats morale and their position in the ference standings. The Kitten B- Ballers went on to lose their final two games, which included a 7-2 loss to Willoughby South, to end their season of five wins and nine- teen losses. Sports J.V.

The Agony of the feet The BHS Thinclads failed to win a duel meet, for the 3rd consecutive year and fin- ished with a disappointing record of 0-9. However, they did come close to victory against Mayfield, losing the last event, the mile relay, thus losing overall, 63-62. De- spite the overall team achievement, there were several outstanding performances by individuals. The 880-yard relay team, consisting of: Mike Dzurik, Isaac Diggs, Roosevelt Williams, and Angelo Baily de- veloped into a relay team, which set a new school record and was ranked 8th in the city. The tandem of Ron Theberge and John Roseman combined their tal- ents as an excellent team in the one-mile and two-mile runs. A new event, the 300 meter relays low hurdles, was included in the 1978 track season. The record setters were Ross Randazzo, at the Gilmour meet, and Dave Braund,at the University meet. Todd Wiese, the team’s high jumper, and Ray Kotabish, an outstanding pole vaulter, as juniors come within inches of the school record. Another senior, George Petaway, broke the quarter mile record by three tenths of a second. All in all, the team, coached by Mr. Kimberly and Mr. Balcer, worked hard, but they couldn’t seem to come up with one victory.

The 1978 slow pitch softball team de- livered their best season ever, with a rec- ord of 9 wins and 7 losses, despite 10 rain outs, 5 back to back games, slush, and mud. The Bedford Bear-kittens opened with a smashing 27 to 1 victory over War- rensville, and clawed five of their next seven opponents. In order to compete in the sectional competition, the gals had to shift gears, since this was a fast pitch elimination tournament. As a result, Lincoln Wests’ Presidents bombed our inexperienced club, 22-1. The winners of the G.C.C. softball tournament were not necessarilly the league champions. Our girls’ finished fourth in these playoffs, defeating East- lake, 8-4, losing to Euclid, 7-4, and win- ning two of the next three games. That last loss was a 15 inning marathon affair to Willoughby South, and proved to be a real heartbreaker. The league was so bal- anced that a single loss separated the first five teams. Our gals finished fourth with a club graduating only four seniors.

This year’s Girls’ Track season was one of building, forming, and learning basic skills. Although in it’s second year, this club, comprised mostly of sophomores competed well with their seasoned op- ponents, breaking 10 existing school rec- ords. In most of the meets, winning or losing boiled down to the last event, the mile relay, which demonstrated future potential and a season of more than one win. The girls’ did not win any of their first three meets, as they lost to Western Reserve Academy, 54-56, Mayfield, 5114- 5814, and Brush, 43-67. The tide turned as the fledgling thinclads “put it all to- gether”, and blitzed the Rebels of Wil- loughby South, 73-37, for their first and only victory. A series of injuries thwarted the bearkittens quest for victory number two as they lost their remaining 5 meets, 3 by 2 points or less. Many experienced people will be re- turning to the team, most of whom will be attempting to break their own 1978 rec- ords. Among the record setters for the 1978 season were, Carmen Malone with a 15’ 614” long lump, Brenda Moultrie with a 12.2 second run in the 100-yard dash, and Cheryl Hauser with a 2 minute and 47 second record run in the 880-yard run. 1978 GIRLS’ TRACK BUS OPP 54 WRA 56 SlU Mayfield S Vi 42 Brush 68 73 Willoughby 37 27 Luclid 83 22 Eastlake 88 52 Trinity 58 54 Maple 56 28 Mentor 72 8th G.C.C.

As a result, we featured the toughest competi- tion in the area. The Bedford volleyball teams in the past have not been known for their height, this didn’t stop our vol- leyballers’ from attaining a 7-11 overall season. Although the varsity girls’ volleyball team lost their first three games to Ken- ston, Eastlake, and Euclid, they came back to win four games in a row. A com- bination of serving, setting, spiking, and bumping helped them with those first five victories.

There were no more regular season victories but the sectional play caused a few heads to tilt in our direction. At their sectional tournament, Bedford drew the number one seeded team, Cleveland Heights. It seemed our spikers could do no wrong, as they defeated Cleveland Heights and went on to beat East High. The semi-final match paired Bedford, the fifth place finisher in the G.C.C., and Euclid, the fourth place finisher in the G.C.C. Although we lost the competition 2 wins and one loss, fans did realize the competition and strength of our league. Ourstanding performers for the club were: Jeannine Hajek, the leading spiker, Linda Belsito, the leading server, and Marcy Mallis, the best defensive player. 88 Sports Varsity Volleyball LOOK OUT, BECAUSE HERE IT COMES!

This wise decision should bear fruit in future years, since basic skills and fundamentals were thought at this level, and invaluable playing experience was obtained by the tenth grade volley- bailers. The 1978 junior varsity club played the role of the “underdog” as they faced many clubs loaded with both juniors and seniors. Still, they managed to scratch out a 2-14 season. Although the season wasn’t glamorous from a won and loss point of view, one could see daily and weekly improvment in setting, spiking, bumping, serving, and team play. With such returners as Mary Dashko and Donna Kallos as setters, and Chris Phillips, Monica Milewski, and Ann McAdoo as spikers, the future of volley- ball at BHS seems well secured.

Among a few setbacks of the team were the illness of Mr. Scheff (coach) and the fact that the seniors quit and left the sophomores and juniors to fill these spots. To top it all the losing season set a scene of gloom after most of the matches. Even though there were many misfortunes, the team had many good points, such as their match against Mayfield, one of the toughest teams in the area. The Cats pulled through and won. The starting five of the team were: Chuck Kovachick, with an average of 42, Ed Romito, with an average of 43.6, Jerry Matus, 43.6, Kirk Schroeder, 44.6, and Greg Tosko, with an average of 46.5. The senior award for the best golfer was presented to Chuck Kovachick. Debbie Vito was the first girl golfer in the history of the team. The total out- come of the season was 5 wins and 12 losses.

After graduation de- pleted last year’s super club, only time, hard work, and running maturity could replace such losses. Nevertheless, a quick glance at the score board revealed a very competitive team. Led by senior record holder Ron The- berge,who finished fourth in 13:15, the bearcats clawed and scratched their way to respectability. As Ron held his own, finishing first in most meets, the junior contingent of Ross Randazzo and Dave Mathias overcame injuries and displayed steady improvement. A unitement of sophmores and juniors comprised of Jim Kainec, Glen Raynor, and Mike Fraund competitively fought to represent the lost two spots on the top five of the varsity. Since most of the sophmores competed at the varsity level the J.V. squad featured only two runners, Todd Plisko and Bill Crump. However, like a fine wine, time will have matured all these young legs and victory will follow. 1978 CROSS COUNTRY BHS OPP 38 Solon 22 33 Mayfield 25 11th Willoughby 13 34 Eastlake 23 35 Euclid 23 7th Brush Relays 44 Maple Heights 19 6th Gilmore Run 32 Willoughby 23 23 Mentor 10th Sectional 7th G.C.C.

And why not? The entire backfield, and ten seasoned linemen, most of whom had started at least 5 games last year were re- turning. What was the result? In a word, “disaster” one victory, that being the last game of the year against Brush, a punchless offense which only scored 5 times in the first 7 games, and a defense which alloted the most passing and rush- ing yardage in the league. The Bearcats opened their season with Nordonia. While running through, around, and over our defense, the Knights massed over 500 total yards rushing and passing. We were soundly trumped, 26-8. The Bearcats next two outings against two non-conference teams, Solon and Garfield, seemed to be a repeat of the first two games. The Cats failed to light up the scoreboard and suffered two straight shutouts, dropping their record to 0-3. The first conference game was at Mayfield. Holding and offensive penalties plus missed blocks and poor tackling spelled doom for the Cats, as they lost their fourth straight, 21-6. Homecoming arrived relatively early in the season this year. The Fast lake North Rangers came to battle the Cats and found themselves losing at halftime, I 2-0. During this refreshing half of football, senior quarterback, Tim White, ran for a touchdown and also threw a pass to se- nior Hanker, Wayne Ornatis, for the Bear- cats second score. After halftime, an a- roused bunch of Rangers scored three times in the final quarter to hand the Cats a homecoming loss to the tune of 19-12.

But, while the Cats had a handle on him, South’s pass receivers freely roamed through the BHS secondary offsetting ex- cellent line play. When all was over, the South High Rebels, via the air routes, whipped the Cats, 14-0. The offense at this point had failed to score in 4 games. When our Cats visited Mentor, the Car- dinals gave us a rude welcoming. They had a scoring spree of 44 points to our 18.

Some positive aspects of the team was the fact that the group play- ed well together, and they were dedicat- ed. Mr. Luce believed that basketball taught many aspects of life. He believed that basketball taught people sports apprecia- tion, that it developed us physically and emotionally, and that it shows us self- approval and understanding. He also be- lieves that the players learn to rely on others as well as themselves. The biggest aspect of basketball was that it taught the players self-discipline.

Because of many returning letter- men, the team had a good season. The team opened with three swift victories over two non-conference teams, Garfield and Brunswick, and a conference victory over the tough Mentor team. After beat- ing Mentor by a score of 68-65, they tra- veled to Mayfield, their first conference away game, and saw what it was going to take to bring home a conference title for the year of 1979. They lost this game 76- 66. However, our Cats' came back scoring a victory over the Brush Arcs to the tune of 72-61. The Cats’ took three of their next four games. They defeated two con- ference teams, Euclid 53-51, and Eastlake 59-53, and non-conference foe Nordonia 5345, but they lost a tough conference game against Willoughby 64-65. Midsea- son slump set in as the Cats’ lost most of their remaining games, beating only Brush. But as coach Luce said, “The value of basketball extends past the court and the gym.” ARCHING THE BALL OVER AN ARC! Senior forward, Dave Nagy, sets up an inbound play for the cagcrs, on route to the Cats 4th win in 5 games. Foul Even effort couldn’t salvage the team “Our games were exciting ...re- marked Todd Keserich, a junior varsity basketball player. “We provided stiff competition to all opponents, even though it is not shown in our team’s re- cord.” All of the young Cat’s wins took place at their home court. They opened the 1978-1979 season by nipping Garfield, 4746, in an exciting game, then beat Brush, 5048. The highlight of the year, however, had to be the victory over Euc- lid which lasted through three overtime periods. No one could relax during this spinetingling contest, but Bedford even- tually proved to be superior, winning to the tune of 49-56. “The junior varsity year is a learning experience,” commented Coach Gordon Kimberly. “The potential to become a good basketball team has been displayed, and every player on the team improved significantly during the season. Hours and hours of out-of-season practice is the key to a bright future for this team.” A frustrated Coach Kimberly passively looks on as his cagcrs drop another close decision to the Mayfield Wildcats, 5047.

This season, the girls began with their usual coach, Miss VanOver, who took them through four games. They then started out fresh under the new style of Guidance Counselor Bob Fleming. Under Coach Fleming, the girls won their first conference game against Willoughby South, defeating them 40-36. Toward the middle of the season, the injuries came and the girls began their downhill slice. These injuries, however, did not stop the strong will and determination of the girls, for most of their defeats were lost in overtime. It took a little time for the girls to get adjusted to the different style of Mr. Fleming, but when they did, they were super. They are looking forward to an even better season next year.

They are very eager to win and show a lot of aggression and desire out on the floor. They play as a team and have learned quickly.” This very positive opinion of the girls’ J.V. basketball team, was from their coach, Mrs. Margaret Hollingsworth. These girls’ did very well this past sea- son and proved this by achieving a win- ning record. Even though only seven play- ers were on the team, they showed that it isn’t the number of players that counts, but rather those special qualities that each individual player holds. The players this year were: Sally Ridgeway, Colleen Morrissey, Lori Sims, Monica Milewski, Donna Kallos, Mary Beth O’Neil, and Jan Tomaselli. Every girl on the team had in fact, in one game or another, showed what they were capable of doing. Bedford should indeed be proud of its’ J.V. play- ers. In the three games that they did lose, the girls’ showed their aggression and strong will to play. In concluding, Coach Hollingsworth said, “They will al be great assets to the varsity teams of the future.” v 114 Sports Basketball JV ONE ON ONE!

Many sophomores had to fill the gaps in the middle and heavier weight classes. However, Bedford did beat Painseville Harvey, 47-14, but lost the remainder of their meets to former state champions Nordonia and Maple Heights, and the tough Mentor, Chagrin, Shaker Heights, Euclid, and Mayfield. Bedford's strengths were in the light- weight classes. Senior, Joe lannaggi, 105 pounder, was the leader of this class. Joe won the Medina Christmas tournament in his wight class, and his combined record for three years is 49-10. Several sophomores who wrestled on the Bearcats’ varsity team performed well in the G.C.C. junior varsity tournament. Dean Carano captured first place in his weight class; Pete Caruso placed second; and Ted DiBacco and Chris Amity both took fourth place honors.

Practice Learning to be a future success “Because there were five sophomores starting regularly on the varsity squad, the junior varsity wrestlers did not have a full team. The boys that did wrestle JV were good athletes, and were dedicated, showing a lot of promise for future years,” remarked Coach Lars Schvartz. Taking all into consideration, the ju- nior varsity wrestlers had a fairly good season. They opened with a victory over Chagrin, 36-27; they then beat Paines- ville Harvey, 53-11, and Shaker Heights, 53-33.

UH___________________________________________________ Whether you happen to have met an athlete on his way to the locker room, an administrator who sat in on a class, or a teacher that helped a student during a study hall, you probably found B.H.S. to be a very interesting and friendly location. Students, teachers, and administrators worked together to provide an excellent academic program as well as exceptional extra-curricular activities. Activities such as N.H.S., Friendship club, sports, the arts, band, and choir allowed students to enjoy working with their friends. A common interest was also the start of a friendship. Pitching together to accomplish a common goal like float building may sound old-fashioned to some, but at Bedford High it was known as getting Back to Basics. Double Trouble!

A 10th grader at B.H.S. was like a fledging or a cub, not really knowing where he was, how he was going to get to where be belonged, or about to admit these shortcomings. As a result, a period of adjustment had to take place and a new beginning formed. At the start of sophomore year stu- dents from the two junior high schools in the area. Moody and Heskett, had to forget past rivalries and join together as one. This they truly did and together with their president, proceeded to build commaradory, and unity as well as their float and their treasury. Individually, they infiltrated every club open to them and tried their best to fit in. They endured the embarrassment of initiations. Many of them even laughed them off and by so doing they were accepted by the upper classmen as friends. Before they knew it they were a part of it all.

After the announcement of what day to order your rings, 300 sophomore fathers got hit for the 20 dollar down payment. The next day at school, when the fifth period bell rang, what seemed like millions of students lined up in front of Room 52 to order their rings. When they finally reached the front of the line, they were told to fill out a form and go to the back of the line. Then after they finally got to order their rings, all they could do was year of graduation wait and wait ... Thus came the anticipation. What seemed like an eternity was really only 6 to 8 weeks. As the weeks went by and the date got closer, the anticipation grew. Everyday the sophomores listened to the announcements with great interest. When the day finally came, the sopho- mores anxiously awaited their lunch periods to pick up their rings. Most loved their rings and showed them off but the ones that weren’t pleased had sent them back. No matter when or where they got their rings, they will be remembered of their high school days. 124 Who’s Who Sophomorc James Dunnigan Tim Dusck Mark Dziczkowski Steven Elek Mike Erdos Otto Ersek Suzanne Erwin Allen Fabry Lori Faciana Karen Farkasovski Clyde Faust Duane Fawler Sherrie Fedele Beverly Ferguson Christine Fctsko Carol Firster Kelly Fitzgibbons Brain Fitzwatcr Nancy Flachbart Vicki Fleegle Crystal Fleming Jannettc Fowler Paul Fowler Steven Fowler Bill Frankenberry Mark Frankfurth Mike Freund Dcedra Frye Keith Fuller Richard Gabel Karen Caglione Kathy Galewood Cathy Geraci Laura Glorioso Denise Glasko Glyn Goins Dawn Gould Tammy Grabowski Kevin Gray Darlene Grossenbaugh The 1st High School dance!

Sophomores, however, had to learn to feel comfortable here. Trying to thread their way through the maze of hallways in just four minutes, trying to act like they knew just what they were doing, and finally, finding a place to sit during the orientation in the auditorium, were small but pressing problems. Even though most students came from nearby Moody and Heskett or trans- ferred from other area junior high schools, their first problems were finding security with new surroundings, classmates, and teachers. After a welcoming speech by the principal, Mr. Morelli, and various upper class officers, the new 10th graders met their homeroom teachers for the 1 st time. During the 2 hour segment, those neophytes received their schedules, locker assignments, Insurance forms, school rules, school maps, procedure list, etc. etc. etc.. . But all was not a total loss. A reduced mini schedule without the upper classmen eased the period of adjustment for the first 2 days.

They immediately set out to discover the new life that they were told was to be found in high school. The sophomore year was full of deci- sions. The classes chosen for this year formed the first building blocks and the bases for their futures. Whether it was college prep or industrial arts courses, their learning experiences would help pattern their lives. Depending on their own individual drive, most students found what they de- sired. It took experimentation and work to achieve and find their own place in the already established trends of the school. By making friends and being involved, the sophomores proved themselves worthy of their BHS jackets and titles. Perhaps the sophomore year was more important than anyone realized or gave it credit for. It was the molding of a stu- dent and an aid in his future. 128 Who’s Who Sophomorc Sally Matus Melanie Maugham Ann McAdoo Le McDaniels Kenneth McNeal Barry McCray Beth McQuaide Lana Meeks Doug Mcndish Rhonda Meyers Lori Miavitz Dave Mihalich Monica Milcwski Mary Milkovich Linda Miller Debra Mika Veronica Mimna Tina Mionc Lu Ann Morrison Colleen Morrissey Wanda Musarra Jeanette Nason Laura Nedels Dan Nester Deanna Nock Terrian Nowden Jean O’Keefe Richard Olszewski Kathleen O’Neill Marybeth O’Neill Vikki Overstreet Mark Pace Tony Pallidino Laura Palumbo John Papesh Tom Papish Julia Parnell Rose Parish Valerie Pearson Sue Pcnix John Perrell Sandra Perry Alice Petek Maria Peters Scott Pfalil Chris Phillips Tony Pieragostine Bradley Pittis John Piramplc Dino Pocaro Bob Podojil Suzanne Rathy Tony Reese Tim Reil Bob Richnavski Sally Ridgeway Paul Rizzo Gary Roch Eva Rodgers Cindy Rogers Mike Rohalcy Jacki Rolf Scott Roll Sue Roseman Chris Rossman Jacquelyn Rothschun Debra Rotko Roger Ruch Joe Russo Lori Rutana Jacquelin Sandor Ramona Sankcy David Santoli Mike Santora Tom Saraniti Alan Schiely Steve Schill Brain Schrantz Bob Schroeter Renee Schuerger 130 Who’s Who Sophomore Horizons Looking toward the future and two years of friends and Aside from the importance of academ- ics, another type of involvement was available at B.H.S., this was club involve- ment. Club involvement allowed a stu- dent to grow socially and learn new activ- ities. Various types of clubs and organiza- tions existed. One had the opportunity to join in the areas of: academics, com un- ity services, sports, and social lives. For those who were academically inclined, clubs such as N.H.S., German Club, and French Club existed. For the civic mind- ed student, community services organiza- tions such as Friendship Club prevailed. activities at BHS For the sports oriented student, such activities as Varsity B, Track, GAA, and Intramurals were assembled, and for the socialite. Ski Club was available. Clubs concerned with the well being of the school were Student Senate and Inner Club. Others included Band. Choir and B.C.F., V.I.C.A. and C.O.E. incorpor ated a major section of vocational clubs throughout the school. Friendship was the biggest reward a student recieved after joining a club.

They didn’t receive the “respect” given to seniors and they weren’t permitted the craziness that seniors can pass off as senioritis. Juniors couldn’t blame their mistakes on being “new”. They were like a hungry child given a sample of a pie. It seemed like there were a lot of prob- lems attached to junior year but all in all Prom, club involvement, and just generally having that feeling of belonging that comes after spending a whole year of your life in one place, junior year would only be classified as confusing but fun.

Their class treasury was financially stable so there was no great need for fund raising projects. Plans for the major pro- ject of the junior class, constituting the structure of the prom, were carefully thought out. The excitement of the year and the newly found importance of the class seemed to enhance all who shared in it. In addition to the junior class’s large size, they had alot of spirit. The class of 1980 had strong ambitions to strive for accomplishment. Students contributed to their class in many ways. Float sessions were always well attended, as were sports activities and clubs. Winning the float competition was the first step to becom- ing a united association. The juniors also spent alot of time in their class office. It was open to all jun- iors. Any student had the privilege of en- tering it at any time. The office was a smaller version of the senior social room with the exception of candy and pop machines. Much work and twice as much fun took place there. 134 Who’s Who Junior John Double Sukawana Dickson Dave Dillard Maria DiMarco Nancy DiMicheal Diana Dimora Ken Doak Michael Boliboa Laura Dreher Sharon Drobot Kathy Dubcr Rhonda Duffy Steve Dusek Yvette Dygutowicz Jane Earl Richard F.llek Mechael Esser Jodcne Evanko Thomas Fadeley Martha Ferguson Rob Figurski Jerry Fiore Sharon Fitzwatcr Denise Fleischer Jim Fleming Josee Forcier Robert Ford Rob Fredricks Lynn Frost Bob Furlong Nick Gaglione Linda Gall Mary Kay Gall Wendell Gantt Sherry Garrett Susan Gaski George Gaspare Joanna Gergye Bob Gerhard Jenny Gerycz “Break a ieg!” Actors Pat Burns an Brian Ahrens are being made up tor I all production “A Man Who Came Dinner”.

No theme had been picked and of course no work had begun on the project. Out of desperation, “Roast the Rangers!” was suggested and accepted. The ball park cost of the float was $ 150. All the wood was donated along with a 20 x 10 hay wagon, and Mr. Kucharski volunteered his 1978 Ford Bronco and his services for homecoming evening. Perhaps one of the key reasons for winning the float competition was adherance to contest rules. Accord'ng to the guides, no float was permitted to be mechanical in nature, nor could any person be inside of the structure with the intent of manipulating it in any way. In any case the winner of the contest was “Roast the Rangers” by the class of 1980. The float was covered with about 20,000 green white, yellow, and orange paper flowers. While 10 class members worked diligently on this project, (about 2 wks work) Rob Fredericks and Dave Sharp built the wood and chickenwire frame and attached it to the Hay wagon. It seemed like a miracle win, especially when that meant beating the seniors.

One of the most exciting experiences for a junior was being able to attend the prom. It was also one of the biggest jobs for the officers of the junior class. So many decisions had to be made. How were we going to raise enough money to sponsor a prom? What restau- rant had the most for the least amount? What band was available? So much for expenses. But what about a theme? court? etc. All in all a huge task awaited planners and promenadors alike. While the officers worry about the organization of the prom each individual junior and senior wondered if they would be going, and who would be their escort. Was it possible that that special guy would ask her? Would that special girl accept? This could be a nerve wracking experience. Once that major problem was out of the way you might of thought everything was solved. Finding the right suit or gown took forever. The color and style had to be perfect and you didn’t want to clash with your date. And don’t forget all this took another essential element, money! Part-time jobs came in handy this time of year, and that helped defray the cost. 138 Who’s Who Juniors William Money Laura Montgomery Sue Moore Bob Moran Nancy Morelli Annette Morganti Sue Mormile Steve Motsco Augic Mrakuzik Bill Mulh Chris Natali Danielle Nietert Ken Novak Colleen O’Donnell Annette Oko Sarah Orchard Tina Oresrovic Adrienne Osadchuk Terry Otto Thomas Ovacek Maurice Owens Tina Palladino Valerie Pallidino Rose Palmcri Caroline Pang Marc Pang Tom Papesh Gary Parr Mark Patsolic Penny Payne Laurie Pedery Alan Peek Paul Pellctiar Debbie Pennington Tony Perry Debbie Petaway Steve Petron Rob Phillips Todd Pliske Kathy Podojil Looking ahead toward a productive year. No one really knew or knows what the future holds for the class of 1980. But when members of the junior class were randomly polled, several responses were predominent. Many felt that seniors had an easier schedule because of reduced class load and knowing the ropes. Others looked forward to such senior priviledges as Senior Social Room, with candy and pop machines, leaving school early, being 18 and the ability to write their own abscences and early dismissals. Senior superiority voted high on the list of those polled along with the thought of the excitement of and fun of graduation. However, one thing was evident, the class of 80’ planned to make this the best graduating class ever. Office runner Jenny Gcrycz makes use of an activity lull by reading a popular novel.

The class of “79” spent three years at B.H.S., experiencing new fads and fashions, Disco became the only way to dance, clothes allowed people to fully express their tastes, and science fiction became ever popular. “Star Wars”, the movie that instilled a galatic hit upon the country was extremely successful with the class of “79”. It’s motif, “May the force be with you”, was used as their theme. While they enjoyed the academic and social activities at B.H.S., the class of “79” grew together, united, and became an association of genuine, spirited people.

Perhaps hazy reflections of old days and reminiscence of the past en- twined with the provocation of the hours. Their streams of consciousness di- versed into many different channels but soon focused on one thought, their futures. The seniors made a transition into changing lifestyles. Some entered col- leges, some began jobs, and still others felt they were ready to get married. The divergences of their lives were substantial. They no longer had a center theme to their lives as they had for the past twelve years, but a lengthy file of questions which they themselves had to answer. An important chapter of their lives ended, hopefully they will continue to be successful authors in writing the rest.

Perhaps just a piece of paper, a fragment of nostalgia, or possibly a passport into the worlds of job opportunity, advanced education, and success. A diploma displayed proof of profic- iency, and accomplishment. Students who questioned the worth of their diplomas soon learned of its merit. The diploma had been the key to many doors. All colleges required appli- cants to have diplomas. Better salaries were achieved with diplomas for “no college degree necessary” jobs. The military also required its recruits to have diplomas or at least its equivalency. Symbolically, a diploma served as a division between youth adulthood. Football players have other abilities too!

HALL OF FAME FINALISTS Who’s Who Seniors 155 The class of “79” will always remember People always have memories of first experiences and learn from them. The seniors discovered many things through encountering the adventurousness of their senior year. Striking the gavel in Student Senate for the first time was a stimulating acheive- ment for the class of “79”, because finally they were in charge. Also, being the Num- ber one class of the school proved to be an enormously notable position, which the seniors were able to utilize and handle with ease. First football games, first dances, first days in government, and first days of the year 1979 were all commemorative ev- ents the class of “79” will never forget. “You’ve got to be kidding!” A shocked Der- rick Hamilton realizes that College Writing and Research class is all that it’s cracked up to be and more.

Those radiant beams wove a poetic hue and reminded seniors of their final year. Each senior had his own special look- ing glass with which to recall his senior year. Because seniors kept busy with academic activities as well as extra-curricu- lar activities, the year glided by easily and swiftly. Making their own schedule choices contributed to the enjoyment of the year. Football games, dances, prom, and commencement, painted a small corner in a senior year, and helped make mem- ories to last a lifetime. What do you mean that’s not the ankle!

Their major decisions were on classes or teachers and even then there were requirements to be met. At all times during the school day there was a place where they had to be. AND, there were penalties for not being there. Now the class of’79 was being released to a whole new world of decisions. What will I do when I graduate? What college or university should I attend? Where will I find a job? Perhaps at times that all important question, when will I get married and to whom, even crossed their minds. Somehow the answer to all of these soul searching questions seemed monumental when compared to previous decisions based on books and classes. Number please . . .

Knowled Every year our faculty strives to give us the best education possible Knowledge wasn’t just a dictionary term to the educators of Bedford High School, it was what they taught and lec- tured about for 189 school days. Knowledge, the only thing one can gain but not lose, can be forgotten but never taken away. The education and knowledge gained at school and through everyday living experiences could not be stolen or bought at any price. That aware- ness and understanding was what the faculty strove to impress each student with. The faculty of 78-79 added courses such as Survival Economics to elective curriculum for the students. Many oppor- tunities were set before the students, and it was up to the individual to choose the subjects which he felt would be of the greatest advantage for him. Many teachers, in order to help main- tain a high quality education for their students, attended workshops and went back for more schooling, attaining higher degrees, often missing out on the summer sun and their free time, yet, they were rewarded with the knowledge they gained.

That’s all the building amounted to until a respective association of people united together to bring the unintelligibility out into the open. This special group of people were the educators of B.H.S. These generous people who composed a significant assembly dealt with some extremely stressful situations. They were the backbone of Bedford High School. Educators, also known as teachers took a lot of abuse. Their job was one of variety of courses their future the most difficult professions to fulfill by reason of being three people combined in one. They were parents away from home, instructors for learning, and trusted, helpful friends. Their jobs also require them to leave any personal per- plexities at home. Teachers were often confronted with the crossfires of student rebellion, and the paradox of a restless company of stu- dents. However, their jobs were satisfying and gratifying. As people were able to help and teach other people, they re- warded themselves.

Whether you were looking for research material in an essay or just a good book to read during a study hall, the R.C. would provide it. Approxi- mately 16,000 books were now on file with nearly 1,000 new ones arriving each year. If you found something you liked you could take it out for two weeks, as long as you had an I.D. This year it was possible to use the copy machine to duplicate a few pages of material at a reasonable cost. The department was open before and after school each day. Not only were the books there for use, but cassettes, tapes, and albums (classical music, rock, jazz. rhythm blues, and country) could be signed out or listened to during a study hall period. The Resource Center performed many other functions. All those films you saw in class, and all those video tapes you’ve enjoyed, were either rented or purchased through the Center to further highlight your education at BHS. Most people probably didn’t realize that the photographic darkroom was available for their use. Mr. Seaman managed this phase of the program, and those interested merely contacted him for permission and help in the photographic area. Who’s Who Media Aids 175 Stop in the name of the law!

The long lines, prices, restrictions, and other aspects were always discussion topics. Wasn’t it strange that very few people ever think about thanking the ladies who tolerate our noise and special demands like, “I want the chicken without the potatoes, or how much does this cost without the bun?” Did you think you could handle all those questions with polite answers? They do, and they deserve some recognition and appreciation. Along with the cafeteria staff was another group of unsung hereos, the maintenance crew. Long hours after we had gone home they were still busy vacuuming the carpets, mopping the floors, straightening the desks, and doing a general all over cleaning. If it wasn’t for them, that note you didn’t want any one to read wouldn’t be thrown out, the cafeteria would be cluttered with gar- bage and trash, and the auditorium would never be clean enough for a per- formance. We owe many thanks to them for the things they do for B.H.S.

Members of the yearbook staff sold thousands of dollars worth of ads to the community. Many times trying to convince a store manager that an ad in the yearbook, could help him, was hard and time consuming, and took a mature individual with endurance and a thick hide. Ad size ranged from the entire page to one line patrons and could be purchased by anyone wishing to help support the yearbook. This year many businesses showed their support by buying full page ads.

Spirit was made up of many things at BHS. In one instant, it was composed of an assemblage of supportive students who came to cheer on the Bearcats. Another way of demonstrating spirit was being in on the competition. Yet another way of expressing enthusiasm was by joining a club or association for a specific cause or project. The activities at BHS began the pull for spirit. Many activities were predominant throughout the year. The social lives of the students were well rounded and healthy. Their caste experiences and acquaintences aided them in everyday life. Conviviality radiated through the corridors of BHS as students learned to have fun while getting BACK TO BASICS. Come on in, the waters fine! Sondra Mihalich practices her record breaking dives to help the championship winning girls swim team. A Jazz Ensemble special-Guitar playing was Mike Kostura's own stairway to heaven. 222 Closing Closing 223 People had been putting one foot in front of the other ever since time began. Occasionally, they came across a few rough trails that had the tendency to slow them down, nevertheless, they kept progressing. Set-backs have a way of helping people mature and grow into better adults both mentally and physical- ly- Friends also had about the strongest influence in the development of a person. The dedicated counselors, advisors, ad- ministrators, and teaching staff at BHS helped the class that ended the seventies to have an admirable and fruitful experi- ence. The class of “79” will continue step- ping forward, finding new ways of im- proving themselves, and meeting new people. Their outset for life came from BHS. Hopefully, they will make the best of GETTING BACK TO BASICS. Here we go again! Dana Zavodny gazes out the window wondering what life holds in the future. Brian Caponi no longer worried about becom- ing a “Bearcat“-it was reality. 224 Closing
