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
