Sophomore Kim Burkle enjoyed the pleas- ant weather, explaining, Since it wasn't cold enough to ski, I was happy that it was warm enough to do other things. A hot news item out of Columbus that affected Bedford stu- dents was an increase, by the state, in graduation require- ments. The class of 1983 graduated with a minimum total of 17 credits. The class of '84 must finish with 18, while the class of 85 must attain 19. Clubs and organizations were also an interesting scoop this year. To the surprise of many, Ski Club was rejuvenated under the new advisership of Mr. Serrin. Also, Friendship Club weathered a virtual fiasco in the fall with their Harvest Hop or Masquerade Ball, CWhich was it anyway?j that never got off the ground. The club eventually dis- solved. Drill Team was another organization that did not re- turn, due to lack of an advisor, along with Pride Committee. The year's most significant change is probably that involv- ing the EPIC itself. What has been traditionally a spring-de- livery yearbook will now be distributed in the fall. The change allows the yearbook staff to cover the year more completely and avoid combining events from more than one school year. People that participated in spring events did not have the opportunity to read about them until the release of the following year's yearbook, commented EPIC co-advisor Roger Fuhrmeyer. Fuhrmeyer also pointed out that the Spring Delivery yearbook rarely made it out in the spring anyhow. Instead, the EPIC was usually delivered in early Iune or Iuly, therefore defeating its intended purpose. But the main goal remains unchanged, to cover all the events that make up a year at B.H.S. and deliver the Latest Scoop . 4 Opening Once books ore put owoy for the yeor. SUPER SCOOPS. One of the few measurable snowfalls this past winter finds the custodial staff clearing sidewalks before students begin arriving.

Sophomores Donna Somera and Chris Schaeffer take time out to enjoy lunch, conversation, and a frozen confection that is fast melting away. The alarm clock rings . . . Time for another day at school. But hold it just one minute! Before, students could arise at 6:30 and have enough time to get ready for school. However, that was when school started at 8:00. This year, due to the closing of Columbus Elementary School and the subsequent reorganization of the others, the starting times of all schools in the district were staggered. Now, the school day at BHS begins at 7:45, Heskett Junior High, formerly be- ginning at 8:00 also, now begins at 8:15. Senior Tami Papish doesn't like it, and she simply explained, It's too early. Senior Mary Lou Pike had a different reason for disliking the change, stating, More people would be able to make it to school on time if we had the extra fifteen minutes. However, this was only one of the many changes which occured during the 1982-83 school year. The Latest Scoop may look like ice cream, but in reality, it means much more than that. In journalism, it means the big story, such as Reaganomics and its effects upon the Bedford Community during the past year. Unemployment in the area was up due to continued layoffs from Walton Hills Stamping Plant as the auto industry reeled from the effects of slumping sales. The Bedford City Schools felt the pinch also, as they were forced to submit a 6.6 mill renewal levy to the voters in june. One of the more incredible scoops this year was the weather. Christmas day was nowhere near white as the mercury climbed into the 50's. There were only five days last winter in which two inches or more of snow fell and fruit trees began to blossom in early February instead of April. March 4, 1982 was freezing, with the temperatures in the upper teens. However, March 4, 1983 saw students en- joying the sunshine. Cpening 3
