Bedford News Hello, Hello. Goodbye” The '86-'87 school year saw some major changes. Even though the school levy had been passed in February of 1986, the crisis was felt in class dele- tion. teacher cutbacks, and larger class- es. Two new Vice-Principals arrived and we lost a secretary. Things settled down until a pre-Thanksgiving garbage can fire in the South House. The anti- alcohol green bean” campaign foretold of our green Christmas break. The Cleveland Browns missed the Superbowl by one game and gave the town a joy- ride. While the first snowfall blanketed the city, thoughts reached towards Bedford's sesquicentennial and summer vacation. Deborah Jones, formerly an East Cleveland High School administrator, joined the Bedford High School staff as Vice-Principal. She feels that Bedford High is unique and finds working with young people directly is refreshing. Steve Bowman came to us from Shaw High School. He is happy and excited about the challenge to assist students and support teachers. As a resident, he is proud to work in a great school system. Betty Romito, the South House secre- tary, retired after 18 years of service. Her continuous work and support was the foundation of the South House. She will be missed, but our hopes for happi- ness are with her. Moody Jr. High School, the 65 year old former High School that was named after Mr. A.E. Moody, an early Bedford Schools' Superintendent, had been the setting for joy and education for 58 years. After closing in 1980. it was left vacant until an offer to purchase it was made in early 1986. However, the plans for it to become a nursing home fell through. Finally, in August of 1986, the Board of Education made the decision to demolish the decaying building. The stately structure gone, a large open field is left like an open wound at the site.

BEDFORD HIGH SHOWS ITS CLASS What is class? Class is everyone working together to make our Homecoming memorable. From the first float session to the final play of the football game, this shows the spirit of our student body. Homecoming festivities for 1986-87 started on Thursday night with the Homecoming Parade featuring the Bedford Bearcat Marching Band, the Homecoming Court, and the Homecoming Floats. The pa- rade ended at our home field with the presentation of the floats, with the Senior Class winning first prize. Their float's theme was “Show Our Class with a Bearcat in a green and white tuxedo stop- ping a Brush Arc. The Juniors' theme was Brush Eat Dust with two cars racing for the endzone with our Bearcat ahead. The Sopho- mores' theme was Bombard Brush featuring a Bearcat bombing Brush with a football. Finally, there was the Band float, their theme being Beat on Brush, with Animal beating on drums. The Varsity cheerleaders presented a skit featuring the Senior football players. The evening ended when the big question was answered, and Kelly Kovalik was named Homecoming Queen for 1986-87. Friday's football game began with cheers and ended with sorrows as the Bearcat football team fought a good fight but lost in the wan- ing seconds of the game; final score, 22-21.
