TITLE Nothing New Here I don't believe I'm al- ready going back to school. It's only August 29th — still summer — and I have to start hitting the books again. The ninth graders will be coming to Bedford High next fall, and the school is supposed to be really differ- ent. I heard that a lot of changes were made during the summer to prepare for a four-year school. But I see nothing new from the out- side. Everything is the same as when we left last spring. Maybe there aren't any changes after all! COMMENCEMENT RITUAL.

She had been chosen for her oratorical ability from among five finalists to serve as the only student speaker be- sides valedictorian Dave McCray. In past ceremonies, parents and friends had little or no discretion in taking pictures, often walking on stage interrupting the speakers and diploma distribution. Last year the stage and pit areas were roped off and four staff members successfully kept the audi- ence from crashing through the ropes. 5,000 people had to be interested and entertained at Blossom Music Cen- ter by senior advisor Mr. Fudge (his I WAS NERVOUS ALL DAY LONG.. BILL FUDGE first year organizing the day). It was a lot of work and worry, he said, but well worth it. Needless to say I was nervous all day, hoping the new ideas would be accepted. The traditional part of the day came as A Cappella Choir sang The Lord Bless You . Debby Gorenc, a junior choir member then, recalls It was hard believing a whole year had gone by and so many friends would no longer share the stage with us. Many senior girls cried, some boys sighed, and when Andy Zolata, alpha- betically the last of 529 seniors, had re- ceived his diploma the twelve years they had spent in school offically came to an end. They were then alumni of 1979. New idea. Senior speaker Uretta Russell delivers the tradition- setting speech that she and Mrs. Kathleen Ferrone, senior advisor, co-wrote. An ending.

The evening began at 8:00 in the Brookridge Party Center. Couples ar- rived as the Sabers performed Look- ing for a Dream ' the theme for the dance. Queen Julie Kunkel entered, es- corted by Joe Capone. I knew it would be one of the best nights of my life, and it was, she later said. Other couples expressed the same thoughts as memories came back to them. With the lights dimmed and the band playing 'Feelings' the garter dance was a romantic moment of the evening, recalled Gaylynn Guthrie. The traditional garter dance usually took place during an announced song. The escort knelt on one knee provid- ing a seat for his date. Then he re- moved a garter from her right knee. But in 1979 the band forgot to an- nounce it beforehand. Many couples were dancing with friends. They had to rush across the floor to their dates. Some had trouble getting the garters off and one or two escorts were look- ing at the wrong leg. It was a bit con- fusing but leant humor to prom.

PROM 13 On Your Own Ti me I must've done everything there is to do in Bedford and Cleveland over last summer ' stated Tom Cichan, and I never knew there was so much here! I guess 1 never gave my own city a chance. I was really surprised when I found so many other BHS students at things like the Strawberry Festival, the Lions' Club Carnival, the downtown sidewalk sale, and the Fourth of July festivities. It was also kind of neat to see other students at the various concerts held in and around Cleveland during the summer, continued Sharon Yoho. It's interesting to see people you'd never expect at a Gordon Lightfoot concert or an Andy Gibb show really getting into the music. I also went to yearbook camp dur- ing the third week of June, she add- ed. It was a working vacation but be- ing with my friends, no matter where, is a big part of summer. Friends are important but so is family. Each year my parents pick out a tourist attraction in another city and we spend a week or two there, explained Kathy O'Neil. We always have family reunions in one state or another, said Lynda Titterington. Our family is large and scattered over the country we need some special time to get to know one another. For those who cannot afford the time to travel far there was the amuse- ment parks with their latest scariest coasters or corkscrews. Geauga Lake was a great way to soend a day. felt Tom Cichan. It is close to home, big enough to keep you busy, but not so big you feel you've missed something when you leave. There was only one way to sum up the summer before 1980, according to senior Debby Gorenc. Friends, family, memories, and music—the best things in life and they really are free! Command performance.

Starting a new decade meant start- ing new trends in world events. The Pope's visit was a first. Though he reaffirmed his position on abortion, priests' celibacy vows, and other mat- ters of the church, his mission was one of love and peace, in God's name, for all people of earth. Then another religious leader, the Ayatollah, began killing in God's name. Anyone who had been a friend or aide to the deposed Shah was called a traitor and executed. Next he broke the unwritten policy of diplomatic im- munity when he supported the stu- dents' overthrow of the American Em- bassy in Tehran on Nov. 3, 1979. While the 50 hostages were still held captive, awaiting the return of the Shah, Americans celebrated Thanks- giving, Christmas, and New Years Day. They saw the arrest of 'Wings' lead singer Paul McCartney on a drug charge in Japan. The government can- celled his tour and he returned to Lon- don. The hostages also missed the 14th Annual Superbowl where the reigning champions, the Pittsburgh Steelers, beat the Los Angeles Rams, 31 to 19, in an unprecedented fourth Superbowl victory.

Stated Mr. Donald Sullivan, band di- rector, in reference to the controversy concerning the Homecoming awards on Thursday, Oct. 25. The juniors won the float competi- tion with the theme We'll Be Dragon The Rebels and the marching band took the Spirit 'B'. Senior class officers Dave Sharp, Rob Fredericks, Julie Kunkel, and Linda Saliga explained the debatable reason their float lost. The judges' rules stat- ed 6:00 p.m. at the deadline for entries but the student's rules stated 6:30. In the judges' eyes we were late so they refused to judge us. This is not to say we would've won if we were judged, but at least we would've had a chance! To add to the disappointment the Bearcats lost, 31-10, to Willoughby. The highlight of the evening oc- curred during halftime. Nita Pozar, 1978 Homecoming Queen, presented Linda Saliga with her crown.

Both the Cleve- land Plain Dealer and the Cleveland Press picked Bedford to capture the GCC crown for the 1979 baseball sea- son. But Euclid and Mayfield did not believe all they read as the varsity hardballers finished 7-7, a distant third place. At the beginning of the season, six out of seven non-conference games were rained out. These tune up games were never rescheduled, so many reserves lost the opportunity to play commented Mario Bienvenue. As the diamond men began their quest for the state crown, ace right-hander Bob Konopa pitched five of the six tournament games. Because of his ab- sence in the regular rotation, the team dropped five of the eight regular GCC contests. We had a one-man team...Bob Konopa, said relief pitcher Terry Toth. The superarm of the team, Konopa, pitched his way to a record of 7-1. He had an outstanding strike-out record, whiffing 102 men in 52 in- nings. Bob's victory over Mentor highlighted the season. He struck out the first 16 men he faced, and when the game was over, 19 out of the 21 opposing players never touched first base. In addition to his pitching ability. Bob led the team in hits with 26, RBI's with 16, and a .433 batting average. Konopa has a good shot at the big league, commented Coach Loeffler. Major league scouts constantly watched Bedford's pitching sensation in action. They were impressed by his fast ball which had been clocked at 86.9 m.p.h. The Minnesota Twins se- lected Konopa in the third round of the high school draft, and sent him to their triple A farm that spring. BOTTOM ROW: Stuart Hall. Scott Ridgway, Mario Bienvenue.

At 6:30 every morning, while most sophomores were still in bed, the JV baseball players began working out. 'The practices were for our benefit. We didn't have to go, but most of us did, remarked third baseman Frank Battaglia. We had batting practice in the auxiliary gym and weight training in the weight room, explained out- fielder Pat Collins. The early practices were important; they really helped me out, comment- ed pitcher Bob Dvorak. I didn't like coming in, though, at six in the morn- ing! Bob allowed only five runs and six walks in the 24 innings he pitched. He struck out 18 opposing players, and his 1.45 earned run average and 4-0 record was the best on the team. Other key Bearcats included Ron Konik, Craig Koteles, Frank Battaglia, and Mike Diederich. Konik pitched the most innings, 37. He also doubled as second baseman when not on the mound. While leading the hitting with a .390 batting average, Koteles crossed home plate 11 times. During his 41 times at bat, he had 16 hits including two homers. Frank Battaglia supplied an additional source of power by smashing two homeruns and two tri- ples. Hitting at a .382 pace, Frank had 12 RBI's and was issued the most walks (9) of all the Bearcats. Although he hit only .200 for the year, Mike Diederich was a person who opposing teams did not like to see on base. In addition to his 11 hits, Mike walked seven times, and while on the sacks, he successfully stole sixteen. Ron Konik and Frank Battaglia char- acterized the team as being similar to a family. We were almost like brothers, the way we stuck together. In review- ing the JV's second place GCC finish, they added, We played tough. We'll have a good chance for the conference crown in 1980.

As Leonard Johnson lands in the pit. he is unaware that he had just set a new GCC meet record for the long jump with 22'. Kicking A Habit The drought's over! After three years of competing, the Bedford High trackmen finally won a dual meet. Ac- cording to Ross Randazzo, the im- provement was not due to rougher workouts. Practices weren't any hard- er--the team succeeded because of more individual efforts. The seniors became the leaders, doing things on their own. Ron Theberge and Ray Kotabish conducted morning workouts. Dedicated track members joined them before school to get extra practice. The results of these voluntary workouts were a second place finish in the GCC meet and third place overall in the conference. Several group records were set dur- ing the season. The two-mile relay time of 8:33.3 and the distance medley relay time of 10:56.04 were set by Hor- ace Keyes, Dave Mathies, Ross Randazzo and Ron Theberge. The pole vaulting trio of Ray Kotabish, Joe Shauf and John Harris combined for a record of 36'6 during the Berea Re- lays. Angelo Bailey, Leonard Johnson, Darin Bickerstaff and Ramon Blevins set a new 400 meter GCC meet record with the time of 44.6. Even though the individual events practiced separately, the teammates really pulled together at meets, com- mented Augie Mrakuzic. Two individ- ual school records were broken: the 300 meter low hurdles time of 40.9 was set by David Sewell, and Todd Wiese broke the high jump record with 6'6 . Leonard Johnson's long jump of 22 feet set a new GCC meet record. We had a successful season, the best we've done in years, remarked Coach Balcer, recapping the entire track year.

It was mainly composed of some regular members but others were always in transition between the varsity and JV. They did come a long way, though, surprising themselves with a 6-0 record. We constantly switched players to see who was good for each position, commented Patrice Pepper Lecso on the experimental season. After playing in all six games, Linda Hocevar's .708 batting average was the highest individual average. Linda also led the team in hits with 17.

Mrs. Hollingsworth said my chance would come to play varsity and when it did, I was really excited. Our JV's had no uniforms and they were beating everyone in five innings. It was like the other teams picked people up off the streets to play on their teams! In her varsity debut, she smashed three hits even though the team lost. After the first three games, Donna had the best batting average on the team. I still felt I might be put back to JV when one of the regulars returned to the line-up, but I ended up staying. Donna claimed she was no power hitter, but she had good speed. When she entered the varsity team, Donna was hitting .700. At the end of the sea- son, her average dipped to a respect- able .400.

WON 6 LOST 2 GIRLS' TRACK 31 A Long Way To Go! The way you play today is the way you play tomorrow ' stated Coach Fuhrmeyer to the JV volleyball team the day before a game. The 2-13 record illustrates the way the team practiced that day and every other day as well. It was a problem of the players not knowing each other ' according to sophomore Nicole Jackson. Mr. Fuhrmeyer added, The girls haven't played with each other long enough to get cohesive. We are one of the few school systems that doesn't have volleyball in junior high. Unless we get started then, we won't have as strong a team because we won't have the foundation. When Nicole transferred from Warrensville Hts. to Bedford and reg- istered for the team, she was surprised that there was no junior high program. I couldn't believe that. At Warrensville, Nicole played volleyball in elementary school, and was on the eighth and ninth grade teams. By the time we were freshmen, we had known each other for at least six years, and we knew how the others played. Mr. Fuhrmeyer felt that the JV team did not have enough experience win- ning to really go for it, Nicole ex- plained. You get disgusted and tired of losing. After being defeated in so many consecutive games, you just can't take it anymore. By the time the team made the effort to win, it was too late. With four games remaining in the varsity season, Nicole Jackson was switched to the varsity team. After the JV game, my coach asked me to be a line judge for the varsity game. Mrs. Hollingsworth asked Mr. Fuhrmeyer to find another judge, and told me to go and warm up with the varsity. I was surprised. Up and Over.

Basically, we were defeated before we started ' said Mrs. Hollingsworth, coach of the girls' varsity volleyball team. Some of the players were more involved in personal problems than volleyball. The team's record of 2-15 shows the peer attitudes of the play- ers, according to junior Monika Milewski. The Bearcats' two victories, one against Shaw and the other against Mayfield, occurred in the mid- dle of the season. Even when the girls won, nobody had a winning atti tude, said Cheryl Hauser. We couldn't psyche ourselves up. In the games, once we got down, we lacked the guts and ability to come back, said Mrs. Hollingsworth. 'The girls just thought, 'Wow, we're gonna lose'. Senior Denise Lachowski, who earned All-Conference Honorable Mention, felt that the losses may have resulted because practices were not taken seriously. The coach stressed that the skill lev- el of the players was very high, and they were capable of winning, but they lacked mental discipline. Instead of a team sport, it turned out to be in- dividual versus individual. Milewski agreed with Mrs. Hollingsworth. We should have been really good, but we couldn't put it all together. The team was mostly seniors, said the coach, including Tri-Captains Tammy Keys, Cheryl Hauser and Denise Lachowski. Trasi Smiley, Karen Khan and Ruth Uschold were the oth- er returning twelfth graders. None of the girls were pleased with the season, but I think they learned something about volleyball, remarked Hollingsworth. At times we had fun, but most of the time we didn't. It's not fun to lose.

I had to get my health back up for the track season. I had no time to study with workouts and band practice and my grades were dropping, she explained. Senior Ross Randazzo add- ed, It takes guts for a girl to go out for a male-dominated sport and stick with it. Karen really wanted to finish the season, but even though she had great potential, it was too much for her. She realized cross country took up a lot of time and work, but being in a lot of other activities, made it too hard for her to keep up with the guys on the team.

Ross finished first in his heat at the Brush Relays, and captured first place in Bedford's first dual victory against Garfield. Sophomore Russ Tapp placed second behind Randazzo in the same meet. As the number one runner, Tapp finished first in the Eastlake race, pacing the second and last dual meet victory.

Scott Ridgway said, There was more organization tnis year and better plays. Junior Steve Fowler felt that Mr. Prahst likes his players to be dis- ciplined, and that's what made this year different. The goals Coach Prahst set at the be- ginning of the season were to become competetive in the GCC, to win a minimum of six games, and to increase the number of people out for football. For the first time in several years, Bed- ford was competetive; although the 'Cats did not win six games, they did win four, a great improvement over the past two years' 1-9 records. When asked about the team's philos- ophy, the coach said, Enthusiasm and winning are contagious; so is losing. I tried to make the players believe in themselves. Scott Ridgway learned from the coach that It's not 'can you' or 'will you' but 'YOU MUST!' The Five P's were Coach Prahst's basis for organization. Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance. All the players agreed that Mr. Prahst was ex- tremely organized. Mike Diederich said, He scouted all the other teams really well so we knew what to expect on Friday nights. Coach Prahst did not have any specific disciplinary rules. 1 just told the play- ers, don't do anything that will embar- rass yourself, your parents, your school, your community or your team. Senior Jim Milosovic felt that VARSITY FOOTBALL 40 the only major rule was promptness. You had to be on time to practice. If you were late so many times, you couldn't play in the game. The main idea behind workouts was developing a positive attitude, ex- plained the head coach. 'This year practice was for a purpose, according to Mark Doliboa. There was a reason behind everything we did. Steve Fowler reacted just as favorably to the workouts. Everyone was involved in the activity; no one sat on the side- lines. The coach had good scoutine reports, so in practice we ran our of- fensive plays against the defense the other team would use, remarked Tim Davis.

Former Heskett Hornets, whose freshmen record was 6-1, ob- served that this year's workouts were easier than they were at Heskett. Those who played at Moody, with a 1- 3-2 ninth grade record, claimed that JV workouts were harder. Another major contrast the players experienced this year was the many coaches who worked with head JV coach Mr. Heard. Rick Ladina learned a lot from them. The coaches worked with us on the areas that needed the most help. Hav- ing so many coaches was good and bad, according to Ron Ladina. We learned a lot more skills, but we had too little team practice. Greg Roth thought the team needed more scrim- mage time. Individually, everyone was prepared for Thursday scrim- mages, but as a team, we weren't. Mr. Heard agreed with the players. Since the players were combined with varsi- ty during workouts, the JV team didn't improve as much as it could have. I was hoping for better than our fifth place GCC finish.

A New Show • • • I don't have to lose weight like I did for wrestling in junior high, and I can eat all I want. That's one reason why Dave Santoli decided to dive on the boy's swim team for the 1979-1980 sea- son. 1 never swam competetively or dove before this winter, but eleven years of working out on my trampo- line developed my orientation and bal- ance. I learned how to do all the tricks on my tramp, Dave explained, so all I had to do was move them over to the board. Santoli, a junior, finds diving more challenging than wrestling be- cause in diving, it's me against my- self, not me against the other guy. Dave earned his best score of 66.25 at the Midpark meet, one of his five first place finishes. Dave came out of no- where. He gives us a big boost.

We have a lot of new swimmers on our team—only about eight guys have any experience, said Puza. Dave Mihalich, one of the few returning lettermen, who set both the pool and varsity team records in the 50 freestyle event with 22.9 seconds, agreed with Puza. the new swimmers improved a lot, and some are almost as good as the returning guys.

For the first time in the three-year history of the girl's swim team, the Bearcats did not win the GCC crown. The swimmers worked their hardest, Lori said. They wanted to do their best, but we just couldn't pull off the championship again. Lori, however, succeeded dur- ing the 1979 season. In her first year of diving, she broke the school record with 229.65 points and set the confer- ence record at the GCC Meet. Mrs. Papesh, the assistant swimming coach, helped the divers. This was Mrs. Papesh's first year as diving coach, said sophomore Lori Hackbart. She never dove before, so she learned along with us. 'Mom turned out to be a terriffic coach. In addition to Kessel's triumphs, the 400 free relay team set a school record. Linda Canzoni, Barb Maras, Judi McRichie and Denise Tomondy com- bined for 4:00.5 in the Berea meet. The Brush meet was the only confer- ence contest the Bedford girls did not win. The two-point loss depressed ev- eryone , said sophomore Kathy Zaharewicz. That meet was during Easter vacation, and a lot of the girls were away. Lori Kessel commented, Brush was our main competition in the GCC meet, and we were psyched to beat them. Unfortunately, Brush captured first place with 352 points; Bedford finished second with 319. Coach Gordon Parnell led the girls to their overall second place Gcc fin- ish. He was a good head coach, said Hackbart. He pushes us and makes us go on. In the end we are grateful. Diving coach Papesh had a good group to work with.

The season's been a real bummer! according to Coach Luce, We lost too many games by just two or three points. Out of their last fourteen con- tests, the varsity team lost nine games, seven of them by a total of nineteen points, or by a 2.8 average difference. Mr. Luce added, At times we led dur- ing the whole game, then we blew it at the end. Rick Ellek agreed, We were ahead in most games, but we let'em slip away. By the third quarter we were dead. Those losses hurt. Senior forward Joe Kanyok remem- bered, We couldn't keep the other teams down. They always came back. We lost all our games in the fourth quarter, as in the first Euclid and Eastlake games. Coach Luce would love to have back the games we lost. The Cats improved during the sec- ond half of the season, winning four out of five contests. They avenged their earlier two and three point losses, reversing the tables on those opponents who previously beat them by slim margins. Bedford won their last four contests by a total of eleven points at an average difference of 2.7 per game. The upset victories over Chagrin Falls and Solon highlighted the season. These two Chagrin Valley Conference teams were tied for first place, remarked Coach Luce. Leonard Johnson felt there was only one way to get back in the groove after losing six straight games—ONE BIG WIN. We got that by upsetting Chagrin Falls. Junior Greg Tosko commented, We were supposed to get blown out by So- lon—their record was 16-3— but we played really well, beating them 53-50. We're inconsistent in that way. We lost to the bad teams, and beat the good ones. Tim Wohlgemuth, the team's lead- ing offensive player, scored 229 points during the season, averaging 13 points per game. He shot 77% at the foul line and 42% from the field. Against Mayfield, Wohlgemuth put in 24, nearly half of all the Cats' points. Leonard Johnson's season totals in- cluded team highs of 54 offensive rebounds and 109 careems off the de- fensive boards, and his field goal con- sistency was 43%. Andy Collantes ac- cumulated 33 assists during the season, and dropped in 84% of his foul shots.

We always felt as if we could do the job ' Leonard Johnson best typifies his coach's statement. Be- fore a game, I think about how we're gonna start up. I feel tight until after we really run hard down the court, but my nerves don't start until the next morning when I read in the paper how the other teams in our conference did, and what place Bedford is in. Assistant Coach Heard only attend- ed two of his team's games. During the other eighteen, he scouted the other teams the Bearcats were to play in the coming week. When I scout our op- ponents, I get their offensive and de- fensive plays, and give Coach Luce the characteristics of their personnel. I found out what kind of press they use. Rick Ellek said, He makes out a booklet for us the first time we play a team. Greg Tosko felt the scouting reports helped us know which players drive and who shoots. In addition to his reports, Mr. Heard helped us on defense and hustling. Ellek added, He wasn't there to boss us around; he was there to help. It was a plus, hav- ing Heard there. Greg continued, In practice, he got on our cases, but that was good because he got us going. Mr. Heard commented, Most of the players didn't think hard practices were good f r them at the beginning of the season. They didn't take it seri- ously until the last four weeks—then they got concerned and started listen- ing to the coaches and doing what we said. Consequently, they started win- ning. Leonard Johnson characterized the team by saying, Half of the team still doesn't have spirit, which disappoints me. The starters can't do it when the other guys don't feel like winning. I never lost faith in us, although a lot of people did. Rick Ellek commented, When the season sorted, we had a lot of enthusiasm, but we weren't giving enough effort. Everything started to jell at the end of the year when we got on the winning track. BOYS'VARSITY BASKETBALL 53 54 BOYS' JV BASKETBALL Incomplete.

We out-fouled every team we played ' commented Coach Kimberly. We had more field goals, but the other teams took more bonus shots, and that lost almost every game for us. For example, Bedford allowed Mentor to take 21 foul shots, while the Bearcats attempted only two, losing the contest 54-41. In the first Mayfield game, Bedford took eight free throws compared to their opponents' 29 tosses. During the three-point loss at the second Mayfield contest, the Bearcats out-fouled the Wildcats, 19-13. In the JV's first thirteen encounters, the other teams hit the foul line at an average of 8.4 times more than BHS. Kevin Nietert explained, We fouled so often because we drive a lot—we get right into the key. Other players don't drive toward the basket. They shoot from the outside, and make the basket. Guard John Johnson agreed. We lost because of fouls. We beat our- selves. Some people are just out for them- selves, commented Kevin Stack. Ev- eryone just wants to be a one-man team. Romeo Mays, who led the Bearcat scoring in five games, said, We're not playing team ball. We should have beaten a lot of those teams, but we don't work hard enough. A lot of our guys just want to shoot and score; they think they're playing one-on-one. During the Brunswick contest, the JV's first win of the season. Mays chipped in 15 points to Bedford's season-high total of 71. He marked up 18 points against Eastlake in the Bearcats' second victo- ry, setting both his season high and the record for individual Bearcat scorint during the 1979-1980 season.

They were persistent during the season, and even came from be- hind a couple of times. At Solon, we were down fifteen points at the half, but we came back and won, 49-45. The comeback 'Cats did it again, beating Euclid by thirteen points after trailing, 35-22, midway through the game. That second Euclid contest marked the girls' first road victory. Our team had a certain willingness to go on, remarked Nicole Jackson. After so long, you'd think a person would quit trying. Not us—we keep on going. According to most of the varsity players, lack of teamwork presented the biggest problem. We couldn't get our team together, began Anne Mc- Adoo, We had the ability and skill, but people didn't use it. Terri Nowdown capped, 'The girl with the ball didn't always pass it on to an open person. One player shouldn't make all the shots. We needed to use each play- er's specific best quality in order to win. Sophomore Nicole Jackson led the team in scoring with a total of 224 points, and her 158 rebounds set the individual high on the team. Anita White, also a tenth grader, led the tea in thefts, stealing the ball 46 times throughout the season. Donneta Banks contributed to both the offense and defense with 43 steals and 110 points. The varsity team is really young this year, began Anne McAdoo. We only have two seniors—Jan Tomaselli and Denise Lachowski. Mr. Fleming remarked, Because of the girls' inex- perience, the skills weren't there, but I have high expectations for next year. I try to instill in them that they have to play a lot of basketball all year 'round. Last Chance. The Bearcats use their last timeout to discuss strategy against Willoughby-South.

One thing they learned was not to give up. Elizabeth McNellie gave an example, When we were beating Mentor's JV team, their coach stuck in the whole second string of the varsity team. But we hung on to the lead—we played well and stayed together, beating Mentor, 30-26. The Bearcats' most consistent rebounders included Kim Wilson (47 defensive boards) and Kim Marques (31 offensive and 43 defensive careems). Defense specialist Roberta Davis became the court pest, plaguing her opponents with 60 thefts. With 113 points, Chris Speziale paced Bedford's scoring. Brenda Robinson had the highest shooting consistency at 45% while Elizabeth McNellie canned 49% of her free throws. We all have close ties with our coach. All the players get along with Mrs. Hollingsworth, commented Brenda Robinson. Kim Marque agreed. She can handle a loss. She didn't lose her temper when we didn't play well. When the girls get out on the court, they forget what they're sup- posed to do, said the coach. They tend to rush themselves and get all flustered. As a result, they can't get the plays off. The last contest between Bedford and arch-rival Maple best ex- emplifies Hollingsworth's statement. The second Maple game was bad . . . Since we beat them the first time around, 37-21, the girls went into the game thinking they'd win with no ef- fort. Because our players didn't take their opponents seriously, they just goofed around and didn't pass the ball, and we lost, 33-22. That's typical of a JV team. They get excited because they want to be so good. Impassable Stretch. Brenda Robinson successfully protects Bedford's key so the Solon girls couldn't get near our basket, Brenda explained.

You can't put the blame on your teammates, stated Junior 175-pounder Ted DiBacco. Pete Caruso agreed, It's an individual sport . . . You wrestle for the team, but when you're on the mat, you wrestle for yourself. When you win, you win for a lot of people—for yourself and the team. Caruso won eleven matches during the 1979-1980 season, including a 9-8 upset victory over a previously undefeated Willoughby opponent. Another year's experience reversed our record from 2-8 in 1979 to 8-3 this year, commented Coach Jones. Last season, the same guys wrestled varsity that are this year, but it was hard for the sophomores to win against juniors and seniors. The Bearcats defeated Euclid, 33-25, and nipped Mayfield, 26-25—two teams they hadn't beaten in at least six years, according to Jones. I'm proud of the job they've done . . . They showed a great team ef- fort during the Willoughby meet. We were minus five healthy wrestlers for the match, but we still managed to win by twenty points. Four Bedford wrestlers competed in the Elyria Christmas Tournament at the beginning of the season. 167- pounder Jeff Whims placed second with a 2-1 record. As a third-year var- sity letterman. Whims won eleven out of fourteen seasonal matches. Juniors Pete Caruso and Bill Wright, and senior heavyweight Alan Peek all fin- ished third in their weight classes at Elyria, beating three out of four oppo- nents. Jones taught his wrestlers to Be tough on your feet. If you get a takedown, you'll never lose the match. As Bill Wright, who registered seven pins, advised, You should make the first move before the other guy does . . . and make sure it's better than his.

WRESTLING Beware 1 Paw Power ■ he team record at the JV level is not important ' began Coach Schvartz. Our goal is not to go undefeated. Learning the technicalities and getting as much experience as possible is what we try to accomplish. The purpose of the JV team is for each individual to prepare for varsity ' he continued, I don't get upset with the team as a whole when we lose—I am only con- cerned about individuals. Each kid has to go out for his own match and han- dle it alone. Since the JV's filled in for sick varsity wrestlers, we forfeited a minimum of one weight class per match. Our highest number was six against Willoughby. But the kids who did wrestle, and lost, couldn't put the blame on their teammates' forfeits— they didn't win because they were not ready or were out of shape. If you think you're not as good as the other guy, you're not going to win the match, commented Ken Block. Coach Schvartz advised the wrestlers to concentrate on a match, and not to get too high. He also stressed being mentally prepared for their opponents. Before he was due on the mat, Dave Delambo sat by himself and concen- trated. I kept thinking positive, he said, picturing myself with my hand raised in victory. Frank Battaglia proved to be our most superior wrestler, according to Coach Schvartz.

I V up the danceflofl while Tom Cichan i steps to the beat irl-Ask-Guy Things became tense near the beginning of October, recalled Friendship Club secretary Debby Gorenc on the organi- zation of the Harvest Hop. It seemed there was so much to do and so little time left. Planning for the annual girl-ask-guy formal sponsored by the Friendship Club began on the last Saturday of Au- gust. Officers of the club met at presi- dent Julie Milosovic's home to discuss the date, theme, and other important points of the night. Vice-president Sue Gaski, secretary Debby Gorenc, trea- surer Kim Curtis, publicity officer Beth Pasek and art director Patti Mallin were major contributors that day. We're Not Strangers Anymore by the Michael Stanley Band of Cleveland became the theme by the start of school. With the ACT tests on the morning of Oct. 20 and the NHS paper drive that afternoon it seemed a bad day for a dance ' said Lynda Titterington, but that was another of the choices made by the club members. Sweetest Day colors of pink and white were the first choice but due to Hal- loween and the fall season they were switched to orange and gold. Basically any girl who had a second year pin was an automatic candidate for queen. Explained Sue Gaski, the eventual winner by a vote taken by the whole student body on Oct. 19. Debby Gorenc and Julie Milosovic competed for the honor. Originally twins Andrea and Ondrea Green had been nominees but according to both, We didn't want to compete, for one thing. Also we are moving and won't be here to crown next year's queen. Running didn't seem worth it. Ticket sales lagged in the first weeks. Since it was a girl-ask-guy dance, and the first formal of the year, invitations were slow. I considered it a success. Said Julie Milosovic. We had a larger turnout than ever before, approximately 115 couples. I think they all enjoyed them- selves, at least I hope so. Last dance.

Cyndi Weigand, president of the BHS chapter of vica, felt the first days of Vica Sum- mer Camp were not worth the time. I didn't know anyone. I felt out of place. All members of the Vocational and In- dustrial Clubs of America at Bedford had the opportunity to go, BHS paid for the $60 trip, but only Cyndi and her vice-president Sharon Mackell showed an interest. On arrival at Camp Muskingham in Carrolton County, Ohio, Cyndi and Sharon were assigned different cabins for the entire week. We didn't know VICA QUEEN CONTEST 68 what to expect that first day, July 9. Cyndi and her seven cabin mates chose to begin a typical day with the polar bear club meeting. This meant her cab- in rose before 6:00 a.m. to exercise and run into the icy lake for a real awaken- ing. Breakfast followed. We couldn't believe it was home-made food, pan- cakes and eggs, and as much as you wanted, according to Cyndi. Clean up came next. Whether they emptied the garbage or washed dishes they were on their first step toward earning a Chevron. These were stripes, similar to the ones privates wear in military. All the cabins joined in week long competitions to earn them. Meetings and lectures filled a major part of each day. We spent six or sev- en hours a day in work sessions, said Mixed emotions. During first period Junior Cosmotologv Class Lana Meeks, Sandy Bagnoli, and Laura Soltis are told they are three of the 8 semi-finalists.

Cyndi's team held a reversed Vica Queen Contest with boys as candidates and girls as judges. ' It felt funny wearing guys clothes and watching them act like us. Recalled Cyndi. Other competitions included the wet T-shirt, row boating, and speed boat- ing during a water carnival. The fare- well on July 13 brought tears to their eyes as students lit candles in what re- sembled a religious ceremony. By about Wednesday 1 realized 1 didn't want to leave. The people I hadn't known had become friends. I would recommend the camp highly to every- one. Concluded Cyndi. Cyndi and other vica members were sent to camp for training in leadership, to lead the members of the vocational and industrial wings into pride for their organization. In the future, said Mr. John Orris, the advisor, we don't want them called shop rats and other such names anymore. VICA QUEEN CONTEST 69 o C We never received enough recognition for all the work we do! replied senior football cheerleader Linda Canzoni. We supported the school by being in- volved and encouraging others to get involved, practiced our cheers twice a week, and made posters and large signs to boost spirit for the team. We also had to maintain good grades and re-try-out each year. Tryouts are based on the girls' jumps, their grade point average, and a paper each girl must write on Why I want to be a cheerleader. We also at- tended a cheerleading camp in Defi- ance, Ohio where we won a mega- phone for the best sideline spirit. This camp was only for the football cheerleaders, and their mascots, though, explained Linda. According to wrestling cheerleader Gaylynn Guthrie, We spend one da a week painting signs and inventing new cheers and the rest of the time we practice our basic routines. The guys' feel that we give them support through cheering and I think they do' better when they hear the crowd root- ing them on. That's why cheerleaders are important 70 Cheerleaders Left •• Left • • Left •• Left Students wanted to express their school spirit in an organized and enthusiastic manner, so in 1977 the drill team was formed, began Mr. Everett Heard, the team's supervisor for two years. Other schools have drill teams where a group of people go through certain patterned steps while chanting cheers to help pro- mote school spirit. The principals agreed that it was time Bedford formed one, explained drikk master Karen Banks. I became drill master as a sophomore because no one else knew basic drills when we formed. I Knew some from junior high, so .. In three years we've come quite far, said Karen. Through can- dy sales, each member received $11 back from the purchase of their $40 uniforms. We've worked hard to learn interesting new drills and pro- vide entertainment during halftime at all home basketball games. Drill team has established itself as a self-supporting organization and a vi- tal ingredient for school spirit, con- cluded Mr. Heard. Sole learn.

Mrs. Bea Mom' Schachter (junior Kathi Kainsinger) stoops be- low the port hole waiting for Mr McHabe to complete his speech. When he is through, she steps up (in bare feet to avoid distracting noice.) Finally the spotlight brightens over her face and she begins her dialogue. Onstage. All this backstage activity is oblivious to the audience. They see only the entrance of Mr McHabe, his talk with Miss Barrett (junior Cry- stal Fleming), and the question that brought Bea Schachter into view. This pop-tart technique helped the audience hear the real thoughts of many characters. LiM 313-1413 '7 think the big thing I learned front the fall play — Up The Down Staircase — is that administrators try to keep us in line, because that's their job, but they have their problems, too. Commented junior Mike Halko, who portrayed drop-out Charles Arrons. It was pret- ty close to Bedford. On the first day of school here, or anywhere else, the kids are rowdy, and you always have a macho-guy like Ferrone causing trou- ble. DRAMA — UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE 7 2 Dave DeLambo, who was 'Joe Ferrone, the school tough-guy, felt he had learned, a lot about acting, and about people. It was great to play the type of character 'Joe' was, the hard-guy type. I had to put myself in his place, see things the way he saw them. In a way it taught me a lot about life; about how people like 'Joe' think and feel. I con- sidered it an experience that I will not soon forget. 'The change of character was what interested me. Said senior Rosanne Danko who portrayed Alice Blake, the love-sick girl who eventually threw herself from a window when her Eng- lish teacher, the object of her affec- tions, did not return the feeling. Al- ice was someone the audience could feel sorry for. They were on her side. I learned character development, and how to deal with many different types of people. Faculty members who attended one of the performances (Nov. 16-17) also felt they had learned something. We (teachers) become vulnerable when we care, began Miss Christine Bott, one of the popular teachers at BHS because of the interest she took in students. The main character illustrated the fact that when people care, they sometimes get hurt. I learned I'm not alone in try- ”You call this a chan?” Lennie (junior Bryan Ahrens) adds to the commotion of the first day of school by falling out of his desk. Crystal Fleming.

I chose the play because it was so rel- ative to life at Bedford. Explained Mrs. MaryAnn Costa, director. The content of the play taught me that ev- eryone is human. If we just take the time to listen and try to understand each other, things would be so much better. That's what the characters in UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE' were doing. Sylvia wanted to understand and help her students. Joe just wanted someone to trust. Nobody gives a damn.” Alone in the spotlight. Joe Ferrone. (junior Dave DeLambo) explains to his new teacher what it is really like in this lousy world you're educating us for. UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE — DRAMA By popular vote. NHS President Pam Bartoroni and vice-president Marlene Zarline announce the 1979 Christmas Queen. She is fellow-officer Debbie Venditti. treasurer of the National Honor Society. You won. I know you did. Though her escort Dave Zivny kept whispering confidence in her ear, Debbie didn't believe him. When she heard the announcement all she had to say was, OH, My Gosh!!� Making E We never intended to make money on the Christmas Dance. We just wanted to break even ' explained Debbie Venditti, National Honor Society trea- surer. • When it was all over we actually lost $170. She continued. We had donated $800 to the fund for the northhouse courtyard and that almost exhausted our treasury. Candy and flower sales in October made enough to hire the band, at least. The band was Watership and they charged $400 for the night. Other sums of club money were shared by committees for tickets, deco- rations, publicity and coronation. Pam Agostino's refreshment committee needed no money since club members did the baking. After settling finances president Pam Bartoroni opened the voting for queen candidates and their escorts. Last year, escorts were simply the dates of the candidates for queen. By voting for them, also, we hoped to involve more students and increase attendance. In the past the NHS dance always had small turnouts. Making the dance a girl-ask-guy or guy-ask-girl event was also intended to increase attendance. Personally, I thought everyone would wait to be asked and end up with a last minute date, said Debbie Venditti. Her coro- nation escort was Dave Zivny and Mario Bienvenue was her date for the evening. NHS — CHRISTMAS DANCE 74 Final step.

Taking a breather. NHS secretary and member of the court Mary Ellen Weber and her coronation escort as well as her date for the evening Ed Romito pause between dances and laugh at a few inside jokes. Approximately 52 couples payed $7.50 to attend the 'You Decorated My Life Christmas Dance on December 16. Club members voted on the theme song in early October. We wanted a song and theme that would still be popular in December. Kenny Rogers' ballad was climbing the charts then and it won the vote. The other really surprised winner of the night was Queen Debbie Venditti. 1 knew it would be a super close race because all the candidates had the same friends. No one could predict who would get it. Our parents were all invited so even that didn't give it away. It was an exciting night for us all. Breaking the ice.

It was more like boot camp this year! said senior Dave Zivney of his third year at band camp initiations. Greenies, otherwise known as sopho- mores, really had to prove they were worthy of being in band during band camp. An average day at Camp Muskingham started at 6:30 with the wake-up call and general tidying up of the cabins. After breakfast there was an outside practice until mail call and lunchtime (approximately 12:30.) This was followed by more outside practice. Then an hour break, to be used for memorizing music, came before din- ner, which was followed by more out- side practice until dark. Next, indoor study and rehearsal of music until re- turning to their cabins. Changes in the policies of camp be- gan as no visitors were allowed in camp during the week of Aug. 16-23. Not even alumni were allowed in, recalled majorette and sax player play- er Gaylynn Guthrie. There were also stricter limitations placed on the hours used for shaving cream tights and other ritualistic initi- ations. We can't talk about all that happened at camp because it's an in- side secret with present band members and alumni, explained junior Joe Kotva. Senior Paul Lehman's only com- plaint about the week was, Not enough food! A guy my size wants two or three servings but the way they ran things I was lucky if I got to the din- ing hall on time for firsts! After all was said and done, though, Mr. Sullivan had one comment: All I can say is I enjoyed band camp. The 1979-80 band was truly a good group! of students to work with. In the future I want to see the band becoming top competitors in the state, earning top ratings at contests. That requires a band with Pride Dedica- tion. That's what I wanted us to work for in 1980. The squad of the week was the first new idea of Mr. Sullivan's to recog- nize achievement and generate pride in the individuals during marching band season. Practice makes perfect. During one of the weekly Wednesday night extra practices, junior drum- mer Brad Pittis works on his routine. These prac- tices were scheduled from 7:30-9:00 but often lasted until 10:00 BEDFORD MARCHING BAND—Bottom Row: L. Hackbart, J. Vogini. G. Guthrie. 2nd row: R Miller. B Taylor, M. Gall, M Dashko, T.

You get the chance to improvise in your solos. In that respect it is different from band, and worth the extra practice time. Jazz ensemble originated 3 years ago under the direction of Chris Doane. Since then their reputation has grown as have their award shelves. In Akron and Columbus last year we earned su- perior ratings, said Bob. Then we were invited to perform at a nation- wide competition in Washington D.C. Both jazz and stage band received invitations but Bedford could only af- ford to send one. After a student vote jazz ensemble entered the competition. We students paid for half the trip through fund-raising and the school paid the other half, explained Bob. At the Washington competition the BHS jazz ensemble earned a 2nd place award for their class and 3rd place overall. Many high schools have similar ensembles but not many are on the same scale as Bedford's, according to Bob. When Mr. Donald Sullivan arrived in 1979-80 jazz band remained basical- ly the same except for the addition of a tuba player in the rhythm section and some new music. Challenges were also a new idea, stated Gaylynn Guthrie. They weren't used often but they were based on the fact that if a concert band member played his msuic better than a sym- phonic band member, he deserved to be in a higher chair. It was a method to get all members to do their best. Afterall, it's the individual effort that counts. JAZZ ENSEMBLE On their own. In the new eorp-style inarching technique, brought to BHS by Mr Donald Sulli- van, drummers march together in a block, sepa- rate from the rest of the band. For the first time Mr. and Mrs. Robert Zivny par- ticipate in senior dedication, a new tradition started by Mr. Sullivan. Before the last home game band parents were introduced and met their children on the field. Last minute details.

JAZZ ENSEMBLE Ler It Snow...Let ItSnow” It's something different to look for- ward to after a week of school ' said five-year skier Debbie Venditti in ref- erence to the BHS Ski Club. I never go on my own. It's more fun in a group. Going with the club is fun and nat- urally cheaper what with the high price of everything lately ' declared senior Grace DeFrancisco. The basic charge for a member was $48 for six times on the slopes with ski rental and if the student provided his own equipment the cost was $32. Last year it was $3 to $4 less. It was still a good price considering all you get ' according to Debbie Venditti. If you've never been on skiis they pro- vide beginners' lessons. Then there is the lodge with its beautiful, big fire- place, the boot barn, ski pick-up, and pizza and other good food available. They add something new every year, added Kathy Cooper. In 1980 they were building a balcony on the lodge. 'Freebie' tickets were also a part of being a member of ski club. They were discounts of eight dollars on each ad- ditional trip to Brandywine after the first six. We also received free bonus tickets to Dover Park which is actually Brandywine in the summertime. Then the picnic grounds are opened and the waterslide is a popular spot, ex- plained Debbie Venditti. Not many people know that. They should be more involved in school organizations. That the best way to meet new friends and ski club is great because you also learn a new sport along the way. Gather round. Senior ski club members Joyce Kern.

LANGUAGE CLUBS 82 r Choice For the past ten years, that is as long as Mrs. Sharon Hannah has been in charge of the French Club, they have held an Annual French Dinner, a Mar- di Gra, and occasional trips to Paris or the Riviera. Then there was the German Club, under the supervision of Frau Marilyn Altman. Our favorite happening is the German Club hayride each year, said Tom Cichan, club member. Finally, in 1980, an organized club was formed for students of Spanish, the most popular high school language according to enrollment statistics. Mrs. Kathryn Ruiz became the advis- er and the club's first official event was their Christmas Party on Wednes- day, Dec. 20. Try, Iry again.

LANGUAGE CLUBS 83 Happy Belated 50 th We knew a choir existed somewhere back in the thirties, but we're not sure of the exact year ' began Mr. Thomas Shellhammer, 1979-80 choir director. That's one reason we decided to cele- brate the 50th anniversary in our 1980 Spring Sing. What with the freshman coming to the high school next year and all the new changes, 1980 will be known as the last year of traditional choir and Madrigal, added choir vice-president Dan Chapin. Thes groups, traditionally, have per- formed for the school and other spots in the community. A cappella Choir meets third period each day to re- hearse. In 1980 there were 90 mem- bers, all juniors and seniors. This was the largest choir ever. There were more new members than old ones, commented 'new member' Ron Hagler. The only other difference in choir was the director. Mr. Max Bunker moved to the English department and Mr. Shellhamer, who had been the di- rector during the 60's, returned. Next year the real changes will start. Sophomores will be auditioned for the group, said Dan Chapin. They will participate in the Alumni Christmas Concert and the Spring Sing. Madrigal, too, will change, ex- plained Dan, a Madrigal tenor for two years. Instead of the traditional 18 members there will be 27, with an 8 part show group. Choir induction. After a game of football, the A Cappella Choir rehearses new music in the main room of Squire's Castle. The retreat gave the Choir members a chance to get to know each other, before school resumed.

In future years there will be a freshmen chorus to channel the new talent we will have ' began Mr. Shellhammer. 'There was talk of dis- continuing the Glee Club because of the lower enrollment but in the end we decided to let it stay, with a few changes. Basically these changes include ad- mitting sophomores to the tenth peri- Mcamng for all A Cappella's Treasurer, Heidi Shere speaks on leadership while choir Presi- dent Peggy Wardlew awaits her turn to speak.

What the choir needs is people who care enough to work to- ward better performances. Brcakhmc. After removing their robes, Debbie Pennington.

Parents and friends of choir also shared the refreshments provided by the choir mem- bers. od Glee Club class and using them in the concerts at Christmas and in the Spring Sing. Also more field trips were taken in 1980 as the group per- formed for more elementary schools during the winter months. Sophomore Chorus will remain the same with the possibility of less mem- bers since those with good vocal train- ing or just those born with good voices will be placed in A Cappella Choir. This gives some students three years of memorable concerts and others two chances to audition for admission to Choir. CHORUS — GLEE 86 Ciris' Glee: bottom: Joyce Kern. Tina Oreskovic, Lucy Michetti.

We couldn’t func- tion without them ' stated Mrs. Betty Romito, south house office secretary about office runners. They answer telephones when we (secretaries) are away, sort the mail, find other students for conferences, work the copy machine, and do just about any job that we don't seem to find time for, she continued. Office running is considered a ser- vice project which is one requirement for National Honor Society member- ship, explained Kim Curtis who was an office runner for three years. Anytime you had a free study hall you could sign up to work in the of- fices, the resource center, or the clin- ic ' According to Sherry Wesley, class of 1981, Being an office runner was fun because I saw so many of my friends while they were in classes and I was walking through the halls. When there weren't any errands I had time to to homework or read. We had the heavy work to do, said Tom Fadely, a senior in the audio- visual department. We delivered tele- vision sets, record players, and other heavy equipment used in classes. The department was opened in 1971 headed by John Seaman who had graduated from BHS in 1970. Before 1971 there was no department to speak of. There was just some extra equip- ment in the library and a few of the guys helped in delivering it and ex- plaining how it operated to the teach- ers. The aides this year did almost the same work except there was so much extra equipment there was more to do. It was a really interesting way to spend a study hall that would've been boring anyway since we couldn't go to the social room, felt sophomore aide Ron Galo. We also worked on light- ing crew for the plays. We met some good friends through A.V.

A 5IG ST Only 30% of the students at the high school are involved in varsity ath- letics ' said Mr. Borys Korduba, nine year intramural advisor. What about the other 70%? For over 15 years the intramural pro- gram at Bedford High has offered that 70% the chance to participate in every- thing from chess to table tennis to checkers, softball, and volleyball. All these activities were co-ed. We also of- fered basketball but only for boys be- cause I feel they get too rough on the court, explained Mr. Korduba. In the last few years, however, the interest in intramural sports has de- clined. G.A.A. cut the program in half as girls left to develope varsity teams. Then our allotted gym time was cut to an hour and fifteen minutes a week, concluded Mr. Korduba. This lack of physical space has pulled the program down, continued Mrs. Bonnie Balcer, seven year co-ad- visor. Too many other school and community groups want time in the gym. By second semester they had us scheduled for 6 p.m. one night a week ' At that time I'll be at work, said intramural basketball player Mike Mc- Donald. That has to come first. There's no way I could come back to school at night. I had enough trou- ble getting there afterschool ' said senior table tennis player Thom Ovacek. 1 would say they were run- ning things quite poorly in 1980. It seems like they were always trying to reschedule because varsity sports were taking precedence over intramural teams. Not enough people cared. 90 INTRAMURALS NO VARSITY OUTLET. Since there is no inter- scholastic boys' volley ball team, students inter- ested in participating in this sport find an outlet in Bedford's intramural program. Careful consideration. Physics' teacher Mr Ray Reich aids senior Bob Covington in his chess match against junior Kathi Kainsinger Despite the extra effort the game ended in a draw It's discouraging to the advisors but I understand that students would rath- er spend their evening time earning money for college or cars, remarked Mrs. Balcer. Also the trophies we gave champs gave them a goal to work towards. They are expensive and in past years G.A.A. has been the only school group to donate money for buying them for intramural teams. Despite all these problems the stu- dents who believe in and enjoy partici- pating in intramurals continued to sign-up. It seems we get the same people each season, according to Mr. Korduba. Anyone can sign-up unless he's a varsity player of that sport that year. That is because we don't want to unnecessarily injure them during the season. Both Mr. Korduba and Mrs. Balcer said they would like to see the pro- grams popularized again. No one hears the morning announcements or have free time for intramurals, said Mrs. Balcer. Mr. Korduba finally stat- ed, I feel that with all we have to of- fer, it is a shame we, with the help of the administration, can't build the in- tramural program up again. INTRAMURALS 91 Kids, Toys Santa = Fun An afternoon of duck-duck-goose, pin the bulbs on the Christmas tree, and talking with Santa Claus was be- coming natural to three year members of Friendship Club, but for sopho- mores and new members it was, “actu- ally fun, kind of like being a kid again ' On December 18, from 2:30-to 5:00 games and Santa were a part of the an- nual Toys for Tots Christmas Party for underprivileged children from area elementary schools. Friendship Club sponsors the party every year and col- lects unused or old toys from students at the high school. “We were happy with the turnout of donated toys this past year. We even had some left over to send to the Sal- vation Army, according to club secre- tary Debby Gorenc. The whole event only cost the club $53. “That was for the mittens filled with candy that we give the kids every year, explained treasurer Kim Curtis. “When the party ended members of the club rode home with the children on the buses to make sure they were safe, said Debby. 'This party is the event I enjoyed most because the kids are so cute and talkative. Besides the party, and the traditional Harvest Hop, Friendship Club mem- bers made Easter Baskets and delivered them to the Jennings Home for the El- derly in Garfield Heights.

More direction should be taken toward the classes we offer. Counselor's don't advise auto- body or other shops often enough. We'd like to see a variety of stu- dents in our wing ' continued Mr. Parusa. We believe it is a worthwhile department because these trades are something to fall back on in the fu- ture. The 24 juniors and seniors in auto- body this year considered the class beneficial because Bedford has some of the best equipment. Brian Cohen, a So- lon student, came to Bedford each afternoon from 6 through 11 period to be a part of senior autobody class be- cause of these high rated facilities. A dust purification system is hope- fully going to be installed next year, said Mr. Parusa. We'll also continue to go on field trips as we did this year. My classes went to the Western Re- serve Historical Society and were hop- ing to get to the Greenfield Village in Deerborn, Michigan. AUTO BODY.

For the 1980 school year I had 7 girls in my classes and predict more will join next year as two new courses will be offered. He continued. I've always wanted one-semter courses added to the curriculum to ap- peal to a wider variety of students. Be- cause of the arrival of the freshmen for the 1981 year two such classes will be home mechanics, crafts and hobbies and the other will deal with transpor- tation and electricity. Two additional labs will be built to accomodate these classes. Field trips will continue to be planned and taken even though 400- 600 students are expected to enroll in printing, drafting, wood metal shop, and the new offering. Various classes in 1980 saw the Brown Derby Commis- sary, and the Crawford Auto Museum. DRAFTING. Drafting is a good class for people in architecture and home repair. Taking drafting means I will graduate with a skill. — Roosevelt Peterson INDUSTRIAL ARTS u English Speech Social Studies Humanities Liberal Readin -n The liberal arts department of BHS provided students with many course offerings. This department contained: English, Speech, Social Studies, and Humanities. The English department has added three new teachers to its staff: Mr. Bunker, Mr. Donovan, and Mr. Shutts. A minimum of three credits were needed for graduation from BHS. Stu- dents were able to chose from Creative Writing, Basic Composition, and Col- lege Writing. The English course offerings ranged from the literature courses, American Heritage and British Literature, which reveal the history of literature in America and in foreign countries — to writing courses. Creative Writing and College Writing, which developed and improved the fundamental writing skills. According to Mr. Peterson, one of the planned changes for next year is the complete revision of the American History Program. This change will leave more free time for the discussion of current history. Next year, the department will offer Honors American History, World His- tory I and II, and a weighted course Honors European History. Develop- ment of Societies will be deleated from the course offerings. WESTERN CIVILIZATION I.

A stu- dent could have participated in Or- chestra, Band, Drama, or Art. The choral program included: Soph- omore Chorus — a mixed group which introduced students to chorale music. Girls Glee — an all female ensamble, ACapella choir — a mixed group which improved voice skills, and Mad- rigal — a select ensemble. All of these groups were under the direction of Mr. Shellhammer. The changes in the chorale depart- ment for the coming year include the addition of a freshman chorous, offer- ing ACapella to sophomores, and opening Madrigal's membership to more students. The Marching, Concert, and Sym- phonic Bands performed under the di- rection of a new band director — Mr. Sullivan. The changes Mr. Sullivan brought with him were: the transformation into core style marching and an Annu- al Christmas Concert. The band per- formed the concert to make the change from marching style to concert style music. Mr. Sullivans goals were, to cre- ate a spirit with the marching band so that they felt they could perform against any band, and for the concert and symphonic bands to have a high level of performance and obtain a one at the district band and choir contest. The fine arts department also in- cluded Drama. Any student interested in acting could enroll in the acting class and try-out for a part in the an- nual productions. Lynda Titterington said, Being in a play takes a lot of time but in the end it is worth twice as much as you put into it. DRAMA I think acting class is good because it gives you a chance to experience things that you wouldn't normally do.” — Mary Kay Call ART 'The Santa Claus decoration was an extra credit project for our art class. I enjoy art and am thinking about it as a career. — Jackie Rothschuh FINE ARTS 103 French German Spanish Hola! Tag About 480 students were involved in the foreign language program. Mrs. Opher taught Mrs. Soldevilla's Spanish classes, while Mrs. Soldevilla was on a leave of absence. Mrs. Opher said that she liked teaching at Bedford and en- joyed meeting the students. There were 16 classes offered in this department. To meet college require- ments students took two years of a lan- guage. Students who continued in the program, studied the culture and cus- toms of the people, and became famil- iar with the life styles of differing cul- tures. Mrs. Hannah feels that the foreign language program should be intro- duced in the elementary schools. She also feels that everyone should take a foreign language, but does not believe that it should be a requirement. Students who chose to pursue a lan- guage course at a higher level were given a chance to apply the basic skills, they have learned in I and II classes, creatively. Students who con- tinued were introduced to a more rig- orous and disciplined program. FRENCH CUISINE.

D. E. Secretarial am Third The George E. Beshara I Am Third was bestowed last year to seniors Roo- sevelt Williams, Angelo Amato, and Kim Marconi at the 14 annual Distrib- utive Education Employee-Employer Banquet. 'The award is based on the students scholastic record, work-exper- ience record, and general humanitar- ian efforts throughout the year, ex- plained Mr. Robert Hrutkay, the originator of the award. Essentially it is based on the book T Am Third'. The annual D.E. banquet honors both the students and their employers. One of the unique things about our programs, felt Mr. Hrutkay was that and the individualized career training Bedford's program offers makes it very worthwhile. Nothing is definate with the fresh- man coming up to the high school next year, actually I'v always felt that our department's major problem was not offering enough to the tenth grad- ers and now we will also have ninth graders to deal with. said Mr. Hrutkay. I'd like to see some extra courses for them; business manage- ment, human relations, and a few seminars. Overall, the only change Mr. Hrutkay would like to see in his de- partment, that would not require a vote from the administration was, I'd like to see the department more sensi- tive to the needs and problems of the students. v � VOCATIONAL BUSINESS 107 44 Bookkeeping Business Law Shorthand Typing Genera We Offer Something For All’ “We offer something for everyone! That was the general business depart- ment's philosophy according to Mrs. McBane. The typing class can be an aide to students entering secretarial blocks and future office positions as well as students who are headed to college and those dreaded term papers. Accu- racy and time were important. At 60 words a minute a student received a certificate and an 'A' in typing II class. Accounting blocks for juniors and seniors, business law, and bookkeep- ing classes also added to a students' personal understanding of budgets, fi- nancial records, and keeping the books for small business. Linda Cifani said that, I took both business and college prep courses so that I could have a wider choice of ca- reers. Mrs. McBane stated, 'The general business department tried to offer skills as close to the point of usage — whether it is for college prep students or students interested in intensive vo- cational courses.

Exclaimed senior Rosanne Danko, editor-in-chief of the 1980 Fourth Estate and copy edi- tor of the Epic yearbook. I was the only full time staff member on each publication and it seemed there was a deadline to be met every time I turned around! When you owe one publishing company 30 stories about student ac- tivities in two weeks and another com- pany 8 to 12 pages of newspaper copy in 3 days you really have to hustle. Though tight, this was the type of schedule that had to be followed in or- der to produce 10 issues of the news- paper (two extra-large ones at Christ- mas time and graduation) and one award-winning volume of the Epic. The staffs of both publications were proud of what they accomplished. Nancy Beach, Sharon Yoho, Ron Hagler, and Tom Cichan all attended a summer yearbook camp to polish their talents for this year. Ron even won a first place award for photography. The Fourth Estate managed to put color on the Christmas issue cover, which was a first on us. We also had some columns that we were proud of creating and sustaining. All around, despite financial and other setbacks, I feel this was a good year! NEWSPAPER. Being a photographer on the newspaper staff took a lot of time, but will even- tually help me in my future career plans. — Joe Kotva PUBLISHING ARTS 111 Biology Chemistry Earth Science Physics Test tubes Capable students should be encour- aged to take the weighted courses, said Mr. Phil Hennen. Students can j benefit themselves in taking higher science courses such as advanced biol- ogy, advanced chemistry, and physics because these courses will broaden their knowledge in the science fields, he continued. This is important since once you get to college you will find that all three fields will eventually emerge as you take more science courses. During the 1980 school year Bedford High offered courses which ranged from earth science to physics. In these classes students became aware of how science was a part of their everyday life. This was done through experi- ments that ranged from dissections to individual studies within a course. Junior Jim Bachstein has already completed biology, chemistry, and in 1980 was enrolled in physics and ad- vanced chemistry. Jim feels, These courses will greatly benefit me in my future career plans. The individual studies which I did in advanced chem- istry gave me a better insight into sci- entific reactions and experiments. CHEMISTRY.

Classes in this 'quiet' hall ranged from algebra II to calculus with approximately 25 students in each. What we're missing is a good, stiff computer course and possibly one in probability and statistics. Come to think of it we could use a women teacher, too. If you hadn't noticied that whole department is staffed by men, (Messrs, Perry, Garrison, Cumley, Kimberly, Chilcote). Otherwise there really wasn't anything new about the department this year. We never took field trips and there were no new classes added to the Curriculum. CALCULUS. “Calculus is a challenging class, the hardest part is having to remember everything that I have learned for the past eleven years. — Mary Ellen Weber MATHEMATICS 115 Health Swimming Ping Pong Weightlifting New FacilltiSSIffieeded P.E 'To accomodate upcoming freshmen and sophomore students a new foot- ball field is being built but I'd still like to see another gym built and a wall di- vider added to the wrestling room to make it a 2 court racketball room, said Mr. Bob Fowler, head of the Bedford High. P.E.. The department is a good size now and 1 think the extra students will cause a problem. New facilities will certainly be helpful. Personnel-wise we have increased our faculty in the last two years. New teachers in the 1980 year were: Jim Hodakaivec and Gary Prahst. According to Mr. Fowler other no- ticeable changes were the field trips taken. The Mill Creek Racketball Club was the first of the year. Also, I've noticed that boys have begun to real- ize that there is a lot of skill necessary in gymnastics and the beginning to re- spect the girls who have real talent in the sport.

There were nearly 400 students in various classes in the home arts department this year and almost half of them were boys. I believe we'll be able to handle the freshmen when they arrive next year. I've been told that two new foods labs and two clothing labs will be opened and that should take care of things. No new classes will be up for the of- fering but all standard classes will be updated with new techniques and equipment as they are every year. Field trips will continue for the stu- dents in this area of study. In 1979-80 the home management classes went to the Southgate Bridal Shop and Ameri- can Commodore Tuxedo Shop. They were also invited by a clergyman, a florist, and a photographer who poke on their fields and how they relate to the students' future needs. Home design classes went to Stan Hywet Hall in Akron and to Hale Farm. SEWING.

On Your O Individual Investigation courses are set up to expand student's learning op- portunities in a specific area ' ex- plained counselor Mrs. Carolyn Borkan. You sign-up for them when plan- ning your schedule for the next year. Early deadlines for applications are set up because they have to go through such a long approval process. The whole process begins when a student finds he or she would like to delve into a subject further but there are no advanced classes offered in that particular area. Then they find a facul- ty member who will act as their advi- sor and chart their progress. After their application is written and ap- proved by the advisor and counselor Mr. Blackburn has the final decision. I looked for papers that were deep, in-depth. He said. I accept more than reject. Actually, I just request that they rewrite certain sections if they are not specific enough. This is the kind of self-study project I like to encourage among students. SHORTHAND II.

' Rock your body, do the freak. The junior class just can't be beat! This was the popular motto of the students who built the winning Homecoming float at the home of Michelle Maresh. The major problems with the float began just minutes before the deadline and the parade. Only a few hours be- fore the parade, four brown, flowered sheets were needed to cover the floor boards and barely two were made. Frantically every store within a 30 mile radius was searched for a match- ing shade of brown. In the end flowers had to be pulled from the two com- pleted sheets and spread around. Earli- er, when things seemed to be going well, the all important dragon of the theme We'll Be Dragon the Rebels fell over in the wind and had to be re- paired.

The weather was probably the worst prob- lem we had, they all agreed. 'The three most important days before the parade it either rained or snowed.

A n hour here, an hour there, and a little help from neighbors and friends ' was the recipe Mr. Rex Davis gave for the barn he built on his property in Walton Hilis. I wanted my boys (Brian 11, Stephen 8) to have the chance to grow up with horses and a place of their own to play. The whole idea began four years ago when he bought the property. I liked it because there was room for a barn and I knew I wanted to build one. The first project, though, was the addition of a family room on the side of the house. I watched the workmen as they set up the walls and at the other jobs they did. I began to feel that if they could do it so could I. I knew something about building because my grandfather used to let me watch, and help him when I was younger. Once that family room was completed, builder for the barn were con- tacted, and prices discussed. The problem was that they had other or- ders and kept putting me off. I got tired of waiting for them so I ordered the materials and started to build on August 1. By September the footer was established and before October began, all the concrete blocks were layed. Extra help was hired to frame the sides and then friends and neighbors came to push the sides up into place. After that it was all mine! Said Mr. Davis. It was a gold feeling to know I had done it myself, at least 90% of the work was solo. Also, it was an enjoyable change from my usual intellec- tual past times, something I needed to do.

I had first heard of the nominations during the sum- mer C.O.E. (Cooperative Office Education) Conference. Later the applica- tions were mailed to the high school and that's when Mrs. Peterson offered to send in my name. After being judged on the five basic categories of Leadership, Profession- al Activity, Teaching Experience, Educational Intellectual Advancement Mrs. Holloway was presented with the award as Northeast Ohio Business Teacher of the Year. Though she always wanted to be a business teacher Mrs. Holloway went to Bishop College in Dallas, Texas on a basketball scholarship. Back in '56, when I graduated high school, only the southern states offered women athletic scholarships. I had played basketball throughout high school and was given the scholarship. The funny thing though, is that I played all through my freshman year and only 2 games as a sophomore when they discontinued women's competative sports! They let me keep the scholar- ship anyway, and that was not necessary, but helpful to me.

FACULTY — SARANEY 177 fter 43 years of teaching, Mrs. Harriet Taylor (Ma) still enjoys it, especially at Bedford. She, herself, was a student at Glendale Elementary school until the sixth grade when her family moved to East Liverpool, Ohio. I attended junior high there and senior high in West Virginia because my family moved again. Mrs. Taylor attended Mount Union College and her goal, the first and only ca- reer-goal in her life, was to become an English teacher. Along the way, though, I picked up a master's degree in biology while at Mount Union. I didn't get to start where I wanted, though, which was teaching English to high school level students. The superintendent of Bedford Schools offered me the third and fourth grade at Glendale and I taught everything from reading to mathematics and back again. I didn't really want it but he said 'It's a job' and that it was, at $900 a year. It sounds like nothing but in those days it bought more than today's checks can. Outside of school Mrs. Taylor raises plants in her backyard greenhouse, takes care of her pet cats, and reads. Mostly I read light romance novels because I read to relax and not to study. In all these years have students changed basically that much? They are more outspoken these days. Many of them lack respect for others but that's the type of thing they grow out of sooner or later. I think the change began just after World War II. The kids saw dad working one shift, and then mom working another shift. They were left to shift for themselves and they've been shifting ever since.
