For four years he has coached the best basketball teams Medford has ever had. For four years he has led the track team down the stretch to victory. For four years he has worked with our public speakers, putting the name lied ford at the top in every contest. For four years the school has moved outward and upward. Every department has been strengthened until now your school, my school, our school, stands among the premier schools of the state. There is a reason for all things and these reasons are the outstanding facts in his life. He has received an A. It. degree front Franklin College and an A. M. degree from Columbia Cniversi-ty. While in Columbia, he had the honor of being president of the Hoosiers in Columbia and also of earning a superintendent's diploma from the Teachers’ College. For the past three years he has been a member of the South Central Association. He is district Chairman of the State Public Discussion League. He is Treasurer of the I. II. S. A. A. To the outside world he is known as Professor Abbett, a man of far-reaching fame, but to us, the members of Itedford High School, he is simply Our Principal. the friend of every hoy ami girl. CLASS OF 19 20 I’aifr Sl� THE PIONEER E. W. MONTGOMERY (Our uprrinti'iiitrnt T is customary for one upon reaching home after a long and difficult period of travel to review the happy memories of that journey. So the Senior Class drawing near the end of a long voyage, the four years of I ligh School life, is reviewing the many pleasant possessions derived from that. Foremost among the crowd of never to he forgotten impressions stands the memory of a powerful personality, that of a man who has ever before him a vision, the vision of a better and bigger 15. II. S. He not only has a vision, but also does his utmost to carry it out. He has given all he has to 15. II. S. In prosperity or in trouble he ha always stood behind the school. Ilis wonderful ability has ever been at the service of all deserving causes. This man has been an inspiration to all the school, as through the accomplishment of his ideals all students have earnestly and cheerfully advanced. So the Senior Class, as the representative voice of the school, takes the greatest pleasure in acknowledging the debt to the man with the vision. Superintendent E. YY. Montgomery.

ASS OF 1920 I’liee Twenty-Six Till-: I-| O X K E K History of the (Class of 1920 In Febrary. 1916. forty-two lads and lassies entered the doors of Bedford High school. In the fall, they were followed hv seventy-seven more, who complete the Freshman group. Everyone marveled at the ability and the courage displayed by these students, for they did not wait until they became upper-classmen, but immediately joined the organizations in which they were most interested. During the first year, the angel of death entered our class and took one of its most eminent members. Helen Clare Hendricks; although she is gone, the memory of her sweet and lovable character will linger always. The first year having passed quickly, we became Sophomores. Displaying the same spirit that had made us famous as Freshmen, we produced leaders in the Debating and the dice Clubs. We were participants in every movement for a bigger and better B. II. S. It was admitted throughout the school that never before had so fine a spirit been evidenced by lower classmen. As it is the ambition of every student to become a Junior, in the fall of 'IS we felt very proud. We organized earlier than had been the custom of most classes, with Stanley Crowe as president; ellic Mitchell, vice-president; Samuel Hitchcock, secretary and I .a Verne Ram age, treasurer. We chose the pink rose as our flower, but later we decided to use the school colors, red and white, for decoration. We began our entertainment of the Seniors with an old-fashioned fair, which was followed by a wiener roast and later a banquet. During our Junior year, a great honor came to us. as one of our members. Jeanette Selctz. tie- l for first place in the State Discussion Contest. Xow we have reached the pinnacle of learning in It. H. S.. for we arc in our Senior year, the happiest vet the saddest ot all. On Monday. •September 23d. we organized by electing Fred Callahan, a World War veteran, as president: Maurice Radcliffc, vice-president; Nellie Mitchell, secretary, and Sallie Miller, treasurer. Since that organization, countless numbers of honors have ben brought to B. II. S. by members of this class. Three of the boys were on the team that won the sectional. went to the state, defeated Lebanon and Gary and were downed only by the State Champions. Although as far as the score is concerned, we did not win the state, but we gained something even finer, for Harold Laugldin was awarded the (limbic prize for the best s| ortsmanship and mental attitude of any player on the floor. Front a thousand men Stanley Crowe was chosen as the .best floor guard in the state. Jeanette is to represent us again in the Discussion contest, and she will, we feel confident, repeat her success of last year. A number of our group have sought others fields of endeavor, for out of the one hundred nineteen, who entered high school, there are only fifty-six remaining. Probably a more remarkable fact is that Inez Hudson, Catherine Allen. Nellie Mitchell. Howard Hatfield, and Helen (hum are the only five who started in the primary twelve years ago. After a few short weeks we shall be seen no more in B. II. S. We arc going out into the world to meet problems of even greater stress, always keeping in mind the lessons that we have learned in Bedford High Seh nd. and that significant motto. Vincit qui sc vineit. Helen K. Gunn CLASS OF 1920 T� niiy.� vcn _______TI1K PIONEER________ IJrnpljcry of the (Class of 1920 On May 14. the dutiful members of the Class of Reconstruction Year met in Miss Friedley’s room for their farewell meeting. Naturally farewells cause one to wonder. So it was with the 1920 Class. Miss Friedlcy, the Class Sponsor, in a brief farewell speech told the Class that thpy had now conic to the parting of the ways, the time when each member would part for his separate path in life. This set each one to meditating. Each head was bowed in silent contemplation. Snap out of this sad reverie.” drolled Fete. or wash-tubs will be needed to catch the tears. Come on Brother, cheer us up a bit. called Doc. “Well now. I'll tell you. its just like this: I predicted that we should get to wondering alwuit the future and here is the means to foretell it. And forthwith Fete displayed a Ouija, which board immediately became the center of attraction, each crowding eagerly about Howard. Oh! I’etc, cried Catherine. “I've a Ouija board at home and I know all aliout it. Let me help you. That’s the idea. agreed Fete and they took their places at the board. Everybody came closer. My fortune first.” shouted meek little Helen Gunn. Indeed not. 1 am first. protested Nellie. Hay! called Howard, “one at a time and the prophesying will iast longer, (.eland Armstrong i first. Please Ouija. begged Catherine, tell us what Lcland will be doing in 1930.” The table of Ouija began to move and the class gave breathless attention while it spelled out the future letter by letter. Catherine and Howard faithfully rc|iortcd to the Class what Ouija said. Lcland is to have a famous musical career as leader of a Jazz Kami origination at Rabbitsvillc. Indiana. reported Kate. “What else can you expect. said Stan, when he always played for the shimmy dances in our Carnivals. Catherine Allen, always a lover of children, will Itccomc a matron in an orphan asylum. Katie we feel sure will be a success in this work provided she docs not attempt to sing them to sleep. Stanley Crowe, the popular ladies' man of 15. 11. S.. will be a Civil Engineer. His life work will be to improve the defects in the roads between Bedford and Dausch’s farm. Conte on. Ouija. don’t hesitate. pleaded Pete. Pearl Collins will eventually sign a contract with the llagenbcck and Wallace Circus as a chariot racer. The table stopped a moment and then moved on. Ha!

Potter CLASS OF 1020 Ptir Korljr-tHH1 THE PI O X E E K (Tlir (Tnrtnrr of Hope Tlic night was one of intense blackness; neither star nor moon diminished the deep intensity of the Plutonian shade. Down one of the side streets near the garden of the Tuileries stole a figure, a shadow made shapeless by a huge velvet cloak wrapped about it. On its heels jingled a pair of long Spanish spurs and peeping from beneath its cloak was the end of a huge rapier. Cautiously it stepped within one of the tiny doorways that dot the wall at this point, and disappeared. Within one of the innumerable rooms of this magnificent pile, a lady of the court wa hurriedly and nervously packing a few articles of lady's clothing and some jewels into a gold-clasped, leather hand-bag. She was the notorious Lady De Villaire. the mistress of the King and the real ruler of the fair land of France. Suddenly, indistinct at first but growing more distinct every second, heavy footsteps came from the corridor. The lady Hung the bag under the high old four-poster bed and swiftly hid herself in the closet of the room. The cover of a tiny peep-hole, in the center panel of the heavy door, moved aside and a gleaming, inquiring eye stared into the room. This was the eye of Kienzi. the faithful and watchful guardian of the loves of old Louis XV. The eye was apparently satisfied, for it withdrew into the darkness of the gloomy corridor and the little window fell shut with a sharp click. The steps could be heard retarding down the hall on their way to spy on another one of the unfortunate ladies with whom the King happened to be enamoured at the time. Oh! but the King took good care of his young loves! After listening, the lady was apparently satisfied, for she drew out the bag and advanced cautiously toward the door of the chamber. The man at the gate waited in silence and nervous appre-hension until the great bell of the St. Antoine Convent boomed out twelve brazen notes and then saying in a nerve-collecting manner. Now is the hour. his hand slid slowly, cautiously along the iron gate. The low door softly opened and he entered. He would have been completely hidden had it not been for the aid of the tiny |x ints of moonlight that oozed through the heavy mass of cypress foliage overhanging the garden. Stepping away from the gate he t« ok up his waiting again, this time behind one of the gnarled trunks of the many cypress trees. Suddenly, with a searching tone, he uttered the one word. “Louise. As quick as an echo came back the answer in a questioning voice. I it you. Esjtcron? and a closely wrapped figure stepped from behind the neighltoring shrub, and. gliding over the ground, approached him. When the two figures were separated by only a hand's breadth, a dagger flashed ami buried itself in the Cavalier's breast.

Within the palace walls the lady was tripping cautiously down the corridor. She was late, and her only hope was that the iron grill which led out into the palace gardens was unlocked. It was a slender hope, hut was the last resort. Noiselessly and quickly she turned the door knob. Oh. Thank God! the door was unlocked, her hopes were realized, one step and With joy in her heart she began slowly to open the steel door, when with an alarming clutter and a rusty squeak, the iron bolts on the other side shot home in their sockets. With a muffled cry she sank down on the stone floor in a merciful faint.

The trees around the Vale campus were losing their hare look and the flowers were springing up here and there. It is always at this time of the year that the students at Yale arc afflicted by that dreadful malady called spring fever, which makes one feel as if the whole world were a bore and the Latin class a curse. The campus was deserted, except for a solitary Freshman, who, for some reason or other, wa- trying to sec how fast he could walk with his hands in his pockets. Red Sanford, a Junior, was really a student of the Law school, hut apparently lie was at Yale to take life easy and to spend his father's had-earned dollars. “Red could he easily distinguished from most of his schoolmates by his powerful build and his.six-feet-three. which ended at the top in his crowning glory, a stilT mass of flaming red hair. Although he was not beautiful, and although the professors had told him frankly that he was a nuisance, he was a hero in the eyes of Yale, for it was Red who in the fall had carried the ball over thirty-five yards of torn turf for a touchdown in the last minutes of play with Princeton. Rut to see Red sprawled out on the window scat, idly turning the pages of a back number of Snappy Stories, lie looked anything but a hero. On this particular spring day Sanford sat perched up on the window ledge, drumming his heels idly against the loose bricks. Across the campus, from an upper story window, protruded a pair of long legs, ending in brilliantly-colored socks and low-cut shoes. From within came the mournful sounds of Home, Sweet Home on a French harp. This was immediately followed bv Take Me to that Land of Jazz. Rut apparently Mr. Sanford did not care for this enticing melody, for he sat gazing dreamily out over the campus and the distant New Fngland hills. The twittering of the birds and the mournful tunes from the opposite building were the only sounds that broke the stillness of the afternoon. Red was debating in his mind whether to roll down on the window scat, bury himself in cushions, and go to sleep, or to go out and rc|x rt for afternoon track practice. Red had tried for two years to win the much-coveted Y” on the track, but most of the coaches considered him deplorably hopeless on account of his size and build. Rut Red was not of the give-up type. He had ambition and a tendency to stick to anything he once started. So. although the former idea seemed far more pleasant. he decided to go to the track. He heaved himself up heavily from his seat in the window, and stumbled down the stairs and out into the open air. As he sauntered lazily across the campus lie met his room-mate.

Fall in.” The afternoon passed fast enough for poor Red. As he limped home, stiff and sore, he saw his chances for the team grow dimmer. There was but one spark of hope left. The coach had approved of his sprint at the finish. This left him with some hopes. So day after day he worked faithfully, but he always found he never gained much. The triangular meet of Harvard. Yale and Princeton was only a week off. Earlier in the season Yale had defeated Princeton, but her old rival Harvard was the big problem. Yale had confidence in her warriors to fight and win. The last practice before the meet was over and the dressing room was filled with a sweating, seething mass of boys, when big. good-natured Tom Dwyer, the coach, stepped up with a notebook in his hand. The room instantly became as quiet as a church. “The following men will comprise the team to go to Cambridge Saturday. he said, in a loud voice: Captain Kohler. Barnard. Blair, Selkirk. Sanford—“ “What!” came a startled voice from the rear of the room. “There’s sonic mistake, sir. You couldn’t possibly mean me.’ There’s no mistake. Sanford.” replied the coach. I will ask you not to disturb me again, please. Ye gods and other reptiles! muttered Sanford to himself. as soon as lie was outside. What’s the matter with Tom’s mind? lie never was this way before. I’ve certainly hit a streak of luck. Early Saturday morning Sanford and Barnard slipped out of the house across the campus, and up the street to the station. Barnard was in the best of spirits, but Sanford walked like a man asleep. 11 is thoughts were on the race that lie was to run that day. Could he win? Not the slightest chance, yet lie might take second. That was almost hopeless, and a third was about the most to expect. The train was filled with old boys and the alumni, who had come along to offer bits of advice to the team. They veiled and sang and carried on in high style, until the train pulled into Cambridge about noon. The city was filled with students from the three universities, gaily decorated with their school colors. The team was hustled out to the Stadium ami the cheers with which they were greeted told them that Yale was not behind in loyalty to its team. At 2 o'clock that afternoon. Dwyer gathered the boys around him in the dressing room. Now, fellows. said he. I'm not going to give you a flowery speech, but I'm going to tell you in plain words what's expected of you. I expect you to do your best. Xot for me, but for Old Yale. boys. Now get out there and fight, fight, fight, for old Eli.

Part II. The sun was slowly sinking and long shadows were beginning to steal across the Harvard stadium. The score stood Harvard 37. Vale 35 and Princeton 19. Vale had fought and fought hard, hut luck was against her. Only one more race was left, the half mile, and already the voice of the crier could he heard announcing it. Sanford stepped from the hot dressing room, heavy at heart. On his shoulders rested the ho| e of Vale, but lie felt he was not equal to it. Then lie felt a heavy hand on his shoulder, and when lie turned his eyes met those of big Tom. the coach. Boy. we're all hacking you. he said, so don’t disappoint us. Do your best for old Vale, and that’s all I can ask. Last call for the half-mile. came a voice from the officials’ box. Sanford ran out to the starting point amid the cheers of the loyal Yale supporters. He found himself next to one of the hated Harvard runners, who was smiling broadly, confident of his ability. Red only grit his teeth the harder and champed his feet, impatient to be off. All ready?” came from the starter. The men lined out across the track. On your marks. and the runners dropped to the starting line. Get set. Ten lithe forms bent forward. Go! And off they sprang. They were rounding the first turn when Sanford began hitting his stride. The Harvard runner was a few feet in front, running smoothly, taking long strides. At the second turn. Sanford had drawn in by his side and they remained this way until the third turn. Then, as they turned into the straight awav. the Crimson runner quickened bis pace, expecting the Yale man to drop behind, but he was surprised to see the Blue-clad runner do the same. Then came a race the like of which had never been witnessed on the Harvard track. Sanford, his lungs bursting for air, was about to slacken his pace, when he remembered his coach’s words, Don't give up. Fight for old Vale, boy! The words were like a stimulant to him. He forgot how tired he was. how nearly out of breath he was. but with his redoubled energy he drew in on the Harvard runner and in a final burst of speed threw himself on the tape and. with the shouts of victorious Vale ringing in his ears, he reeled and fell in the big coach’s arms.

That night. as the members of the team, the coaches, the college professor.-, ami a number of the alumni sat around the dining table in the Continental Motel, in lloston. the head coach rose slowly amid the cheers of his admirers, and said: Vale has won a great victory to-day. I doubt whether so great a victory has ever been won before. I was about to give up hope of winning when the half-mile started, but alter that finish 1 can go the limit. I should like to hear a few remarks front our captain. Kohler rose, bashfully, and it was nearly a minute before he could get his bearings. “Well. he said. I haven't much to say, boys, but let's have three cheers for ‘Red,’ the best tighter Yale has ever produced.

Its sails were stirred by summer wind: They spread—and it slid out to sea: The pilot Fancy left behind A rippling path of waves and—me. Far out to sea my ship was lost.

The realm was inhabited by fairies, who guarded the curtain of mists, or strayed about the world in search of lost things to carry hack to their domain in the clouds. Soine-times they would pick up a lost toy. a book, or even a stray smile or a hit of a song ami hear it hack with them to make their already beautiful mansions more beautiful. In time long past, the little realm was blessed with a princess, a princess with hair like the brightest sunbeam and eyes the color of the sky that smiled above her. All day long site strayed in a garden of lovely pink and white rosebuds, or made wreahs ami bouquets of them for herself and her fairy maidens. Because of her light heart and joyous step, she was known to all around her as The Princess of the Mists. The only person except the fairies who passed in and out of this joyous land was round, red Mr. Sun. whom the princess allowed to go through, so that he might light up the next kingdom, called The Land of Dusk. When he passed over other parts of the earth, Mr. Sun always told the people, especially the little children, of the beauty of the little place and of the many, many pretty things that men had lost and that beautified the mansions of the fairies. A very mischievous and irritable little boy. named Tommy Atchene. lived in the high mountains of South America. When the cheerful Sun told of the beauty of the Land Where Lost Things Go, lie became very anxious to visit it. reclaim his lost toys, and take revenge upon the tiny fairies who had mi diligently carried them there. So. one day. when Mr. Sun hail almost completed his toilsome circuit and was taking a nap just al ovc one of the high mountains near Tommy’s home, the boy climbed upon the back of that sleeping old gentleman and rode down to the little kingdom without his knowing of the burden he was bearing on his back. Soon the guard fairy at the curtain drew back its shimmering folds, and if you had been looking at that particular moment, you should have seen the beautiful red Sun with the tiny black spot that was Tommy Atchene. looking over his shoulder, disappearing behind the gray curtain that bounds the Land Where Lost Things Go. When Mr. Sun had readied the center of the rose garden. Tommy jumped from his back. But as his feet touched the garden, the fairy-like tloor gave way. and he felt himself falling. falling into boundless space.. And some people say that lie has never stopped falling and never will until the end of time! But the fairies tell me that he went to the Land of Nowhere, which is far below this world or that little kingdom that used to be. As the first foot of mankind touched the magic floor, those poor little fairies were compelled to return to the Land of Dusk, where they remain to this day. The beautiful princess weeps and mourns all day long for her lost realm. Sometimes she hunts the world over for it. but she never finds it. Although her light, airy step and light heart is gone forever, she -till retains the name The Princess of the Mists: she sometimes visits our land. The Domain of Mortals. while searching sorrowfully for her kingdom: and if you will look, you may sometimes sec her gauzy gray veil of mist shrouding the landscape. • Mary Elizabeth Plummer.

All this confusion was due to the weather man's unsettled state of mind. Usually, however, he decided that it should rain, and rain it did. Juniors. Seniors and Faculty met at the High School building at 6:00 | . m. and from there went to Standish's farm, about three miles south of town. Some went to the wrong place, some to the right place, some did not get there at all. due to lack of gas and other similar troubles. As soon as the crowd had assembled, all prepared to feast, for truly all were starved. Then ensued a battle royal for first place to roast said wieners, who had always had the impression that humans arc as civilized as they. I’.ut things arc not always as they seem, ami the wieners were sadly disappointed, for this was their lirst appearance at a wiener roast given bv luniors of IJ. II. S. After many a j oor wiener, and many more sour pickles, not to mention buns and marshmallows, had met their fate at the hands of the hungry multitude, several forms of entertainment were offered. Among them was a free-for-all chase with Mr. Radcliffc as the unhappy victim. The result of this was the'attcmpted ducking of Doe. Mr. Abbett receiving full benefit of the sjx rt in the form of two enormously wet—or is it wetly—enormous feet ? At any rale. I mean to say his very enormous feet were very wet. Next the boys enjoyed themselves (at the expense of the girls by going after wood for the tires. Some of the more affected couples chose to stroll down lovers' lane, while the rest of the company sat by the tire and played truth or dare. Soon this became a little bit too jiersonal to be enjoyed by some, especially Mr. Abbett. and we decided, reluctantly, to go home. After a few punctures and broken light bulbs, we reached the parental roof none the worse for our cxpcricnec. unless I should mention a few bail dreams.

The evening was started with several arrests made by the suffragette cops. Judge Abbott held down the bench, dealing out justice to all offenders. The B. II. S. band furnished the preliminaries. All the shows were in full swing. The catchy sketch, Kisses and Misses, was a great success. Kvery audience was pleased, ami even the cast liked it. Well, why shouldn't they?

All intermissions were filled with ice cream, lemonade, and sandwiches, while the clowns and fish ponds entertained the crowd. Everybody fished and caught a (all day) sucker. The last official act was performed by an ex-prize fighter. The Pool Pit opened promptly at 8:00. and the number of marriages was surprising, with just as many (unexpected divorces. No fewer than seventy-four knots were tied. The crowd left at a late hour, well pleased with the Seniors’ efforts.

The sale began at 8:00 o'clock, with 11oward Guthrie and Charles Emery as auctioneers.. Although the bids were slow in starting, everyone soon became less bashful and it was only an hour until every box was sold. After everyone was seated, the candles on the tables were lighted, the lights turned off. the Junior class gave a very delightful program.

You all d know the result of the game, and Mr. E. 15. Crowe was true to his promise. On Thursday night. March 25. the boys of the team, together with some six or eight guests, assembled in the hall, and at 7:45 were seated in the sewing room preparatory to what proved to l e a well worth while dinner. Between the first and second courses Miss I.elia Rowe read two selections of negro dialect verses. Music was furnished by an orchestra composed of Misses Helen Martin, Edith Kcacit and Howard Allen and Howard Hatfield. After the meal speeches were made by Mr. Abbett, Mr. Crowe and Mr. Montgomery. The main speaker of the evening was Mr. Benjamin Andres, and his talk, as well as the others, were greatly enjoyed by all. The party was over by 10:30 and all were very grateful to Mr. Crowe, as it was his spirit and appreciation that made that evening so enjoyable. (Chi' Alumni Sanqurt, 1919 Certainly a most enjoyable occasion is the annual reunion of the Alumni of B. 11. S.. which is usually celebrated by a gracious banquet. By their fruits shall ye know them is as true of institutions as of individuals. This institution is justly proud of its graduates, for in them it has the most valuable evidence of its efficiency. Among its graduates arc men and women who arc doing the world’s work, and doing it nobly. On its roll arc also boys and girls who arc pursuing their studies in higher institutions of learning, many of whom are achieving distinction in the lines chosen. It is. then, with a quickened inspiration, that the present students of Bedford High School are permitted to look toward their entrance into the various fields of activity, for the alumni have clearly set a precedent in doing worthwhile things. But. on the other hand, we realize that success could not have been achieved without the training received in old B. II. S. So it is on this occasion that the alumni pay their respects to their Alma Mater. No matter where we rove, or in what fields of work our chosen professions may have carried us. the alumni arc always loyal to B. II. S. No matter if pursuing our studies at higher institutions of learning, we always look back to old 15. II. S. as our Alma Mater and uphold the high ideals for which the red and white have always stood. We look forward to the culmination of the Senior year as the end of a long, difficult, though pleasant experience. But now. as we arc brought in contact with the world's problems. and are turning our attention to the future, we always look back to the days of It. II. S. with fond remembrances.

They had fine team work, only the boys didn’t seem to know that they were supposed t use a ball. Before the game they wanted to know what the iron rings were for on the blackboards.

There arc shoes for summer and shoes for winter. There arc three different kinds of shoes, shoes for men. shoes for women, and shoes for children. Shoes are nearly all colors but most of them are black and tan. Some boys don’t wear shoes when it is warm weather, but most boys and gills do. because it hurts their feet t walk. Some ladies wear shoes in the high heels. Men don’t wear shoes with high heels on account of the reason that it ain’t considered stylish for them to. Shoes have been a great help and also a great hindrance in this life. They make you have corns, protect your feet, and make your feet hurt.

There is no doubt alniut that. There are a million evidences of it- arrival, but there is one sure sign that would betray its presence, even if there were no flowers, birds, or green grass. The surest harbingers of Spring arc the new spring hats. There are spring hats on every side.—big hats, little hats, tall hats, floppy hats, frilly hats, tailored hats, hats of all descriptions are sitting in pride and glory on the heads of school-girls and grandames. There arc hats of all shapes, hats shaped like mountain-peaks, like hay-stacks, and like battleships. There are hats decked with flowers, with ribbons, with buckles, and with beads. And there are hats that plainly arc veterans of many year's service, but on all sides spring hats are coming forth. And with this gay display before them, the masculine half of humanity grins and tolerantly says to his friend. Hill, there's one thing I'm certainly proud of.—that men aren't subject to this fool hat craze. D’voii see that purple and yellow creation parading down the street there? It looks like a dreadnaught. Why. Hill. I wouldn't be caught dead in such a thing. And they pass on. The poor, deluded denouncer of women's head-dress little realized his own appearance. He was wearing a little. round, hat that had evidently just been salvaged from a Jew's junk-shop. He had the craze, the back to 1900 craze. He was wearing a derbv and still lie was raving on the absurdity of feminine hats. If he could have seen himself then as lie really looked he surely would have stopped liis ranting. Of course, there are hats and hats, but never yet has there been designed a woman's hat to equal the derby. We have only this to say about the matter.---- We may wear flower-trimmed mountain peaks; we may wear l c-ribboncd haystacks; we may wear beaded battle-ships; but we do not wear resurrected fish-bowls of the vintage of 1900. Why. Hill, we wouldn't be eouglit dead in such a thing. HOW THE CLASS VOTED Biggest Eater - Pet Hatfield. 20: Stan Crowe. I“Kelly” Callahan. 8; Mauley Toole. 6.

WILLIES DIARY A friend oi mine who is a Senior took me to school with him today ami I never saw such kids. He took me into whatcha call a roll-room and then we sat there a few minutes and Harold I.aughlin was a throughin paper wads and a talkin. If we did that in our school we'd got a lickin, hut I guess these l oys is too big to lick. After while we went into the assembly and sung. A fellar culled John Cook was was sittin acrost from we and he sounded like a frog a-croakin. Then we went into a French room whur they was oo-in and la-in and a-goin on. Then we went into a History and talked about Columbus and everybody else. Miss Fricdlcy called on a boy named Doc KadclitTc and asked him who discovered America and lie said Thomas A. Edison. Then we went home and I'm never goin back again cause they're all crazy. Fellow students it is high time that we took steps to prohibit the chewing of gum by our noble teachers. The school has suffered much since this camel-like habit of wagging the jaws has taken hold, deep-hold upon the fair members of our faculty. Now there is not a day in which we do not hear the sad news that one of the members of our La Belle faculty has lost a molar by the teacherous action of a low minded cake of gum. In the days that used to be. -the recitations moved along in rapid order, almost as speedy as CLASS OF 1920 a Ford: but alas! now the recitation must he bolted every fifteen minutes or so, to give dear teacher a chance to shift the gears on her gum. And this, my fellow-men in pursuit of knowledge, is not the only horrible catastrophe that has been the result of this poor wrenching fad. But teachers have been noticed to have been reluctant to leave their scats, and upon investigation it was found that in a moment of forgetfulness they had sat U|hui their gum. So. fellow students, we call upon you one and all to rise with us and 'tamp out this cud-chewing habit, which is de-stroying the good of our almost Parisian-looking faculty. Dentist (after putting air in lady's tooth): Ma'am, aid you feel that air?

It is as much through the work of this department as through athletics that B. II. S. has become one of the representative schools of the state. Although we can not all play basketball, we can compete in tlie various contests afforded by the different organiza-tions of this department._________________ ■____________ (The £$tntr Disruasum (Contest “I'nivcrsal Training for C itizenship was the subject chosen by Jeannette Scletz for her discussion in the contest last year. She won the county, the district and tied for first place in the state. This year, the question for discussion is Railroad Ownership. The local contest was held March 19. The contestants were Jeannette Scletz, John Pearson and William Mc-Fadden. Jeannette was chosen to represent us again this year. On March 27. the county contest was held at Mitchell and again B. II. S. came out on top. The district is to be held here and the state in Bloomington. Having been in this country only seven years. Jeannette has a wonderful command of the Hnglish language and her understanding of the American problems is remarkable: she will, we feel confident, repeat her success of last year. (Clip - 11 itth (Central Last year, in the try-out for the South Central contest, there were five contestants in reading and three in the oration. The judges awarded the local contest to Marian Mitchell in reading, and to Maurice MeFadden in the oration. The South Central was held at Bloomington, both of our contestants receiving first place.

CLASS OF 1920 I'ld' S«-v -iiIj--on THE PIONEER (The Urttrr Cmjilisli Club Realizing that much of an individual’s strength is drawn from his careful and distinguished diction. Bedford High School offers many facilities for practice in the use of the language. Conspicuous among these is the “Better English Club,” an organization effected four years ago under the supervision of Miss Mitchusson. This year the organization was kept in the Senior class. Nellie Mitchell was elected president of the first section; and John Potter of the second. Under the competent leadership of these officers much was accomplished. The meetings were held on Mondays. The programs which were varied and interesting. consisted of reports of current events, discussions, hook reviews, short stories, essays, and poems. The members have formed two periodical clubs. The Literary Digest and The Outlook, which arc valuable in the preparation of the club work. Special emphasis is placed upon criticism, which is largely constructive and from the floor. One important phase of this work is the effort to help each member to discover the gift that is within him. and to aid in the creation of the interest and the determination necessary for the developing of the talent. The organization is the means to an end. the desired end being an unconscious habit of speaking clear and elegant English. or recognizing ami attaining a tone-standard that is worthy of the greatest language in the world—the English language. (Tltr mttl? (Central This year's South Central tryout contest was the best ever held. The contj ctition was much stronger than ever before in our history and no one could decide who was winner. The readers were Ruth Standish. The Man in the Shadow”; Carolyn Meglcmrc. “Her First Appearance ; Abbie Joyner. “The Sign of the Cross ; Helen Gunn, The Lion and the Mouse.” The orators were Harold Lattghlin.

It proved a great success and this year the faculty decided to give another production and as a result, on December .5 and Ith. I')I9. Katcha K«k was presented. Iieforc full houses, at the Stone City Ojrera House. The entertainment proved to he one of the best ever staged by the local school. The story of the comedy around which is woven a very pleasing musical program, is made possible through the dis- appearance of an American, (iiiddin. who is drowned, lie wills his immense fortune to his widow who after his death leaves for India. The first act of the hill depicts the Malianj ahts' private temple in Rasputum India, to which the supposed (.addin has drifted. Arriving there he chooses to | .sc as a rakir and the opening scene finds him standing motionless before the idol lluddha presumably fasting in his worship of the idolatrous god. (iaddin has assumed the name Katcha Koo and residents of Rasputum bail come to fear him by reason of his close communication with lluddha which gave him exceptions imwer and allowed his curses to bring suffering and death. Prominent in Rasputum social circle was Maharyah, an Last Indian Romeo, who possessed four wives as well as the temple of lluddha. And Katcha Koo proved an eye sore to Maharvah because lie feared him.

However a scheme was later devised whereby they hoped to rid themselves through the use of some clothing left by the late wizard. At this juncture Mrs. Chattre (iaddin. together with her two daughters who were touring India arrived at the temple of Kuddha and Katcha Koo whose dis|N sition had been wonderfully changed after he had donned the departed wizards clothing became deeply interested in her. as well as in all other women by reason of an amorous Italian vest included in his new wardrobe. From this juncture on many humorous situations arose on Katcha Koo's jtopularitv with the women. Finally a suggestion from Mrs. (iaddin prompted all to leave Indian and go to her home on Riverside Drive at New York. Here the truth was revealed and Mrs. (iaddin recognized in Katcha Koo after he had been deprived of his wizards’ clothes, as her husband and all other social tangles were unraveled. Kvcry member of the cast portrayed the character assigned him in a most creditable manner and the audience throughout the evening evidenced their apprccition through liberal applause. The musical program was especially pleasing, many novel dances being introduced. Among them were. Veil dance. Polo dance. Auld Lang Svn Dance. French Dance, and Knglish Jackies dance. Other features of the program many of which included graceful dances were. I’m Waiting Yet. Maharajah and chorus; It's the Clothes That Makes the Man.

A feature which on this occasion added much to the program was the accompaniment and marches played by the High School orchestra under the direction of Miss Small. This play was staged by Miss Leone Ingle of the John I-..

As soon as the women have left the office little Tony brings in Mr. Applegate, a prospective buyer, representative of the Great Northwestern Drug Co. Hut on account of th bosses' jealousy of each other they insult the customer and lose hi order. Tony gets fired.

This honor came to one of our Senior boys. Harold II. I.aughlin. in the form of the (iimbel prize. The competition narrowed to a consideration of Wolfski. of Anderson, and l-aughlin. of Bedford. Harold played in every game during the season and came out of twenty- ev«n of them without a foul, lie frequently went to the floor in hard play, but always came up with a smile. On every occasion he responded to a call for training. His response was so generous and wholesome that it is easy to understand why he won the great honor. Several critics picked him on the Second All-State team, and none failed to give him honorable mention. He played on the team two years and was always a big factor in winning the game. He was always complimented by the officials and disinterested as well as interested spectators. The (Iimbel medal was certainly pinned on a very deserving boy and one who will in the future as he has in the past that prove it was placed properly. We take great pride in this attainment and will ever try to uphold the honor this young man won for us. C L A S S OF 1920 ■ THE 1’IOXEKK tanlry Crmur Stanley possesses the quality of a real leader.

The first team, that of 1905, is now almost ancient history. Very few people remember that team. It was. however, a great team. And there have l� een other great teams and greater teams. Hut the greatest team, the best of them all. was the team which wore the Red and White this last year. There arc still memories of the teams of ‘15 and 'IS of years gone by, but these are overshadow ed by the great record of the team of 'JO. Playing through a schedule of the very strongest teams in the state, they won IX and lost 6 in their regular schedule. Winning the sectional tournament and two games in the state before being l� eaten brings this total to 24 games won and 7 lost, and an average of .774 per cent. They scored 050 points while their opponents scored only 510. They broke the record for consecutive wins, piling up eight in a row. They scored an average of 31 points while their op]K ncnts scored only lb.

From this they get very little praise, several knocks, a lot of experience, and a {{feat deal of ginxl healthy exercise. In the nightly practice they often held the Varsity to close scores, hut oftener the Varsity piled up big scores on them. They showed their true worth and the value of their training in their outside games. They played four of these beating Xcedmorc. Ileltonvillc and Clear Springs and losing a close one to Williams. Those who played on this team the past year arc: Manley Toole. Raymond W'vkoff. Joseph Cczar. John Cook, Otis Wilde. Cecil llottorf. George McMillan. Ervin Koettcr. Merril Toole and Charles Bcn .el.

A great many of the old players went out last year and their placc have been filled by younger ones, desiring to attain a high standing. A new step was taken this year in the girls' field. A first team was selected which was allowed to compete with outside schools, although the games were not public to men. This is a new enterprise and the girls were glad to get this op|M rtunity to place their strength against that of a rival school. On account of it being so late in the season only two games were scheduled. One with the Mitchell girls here on Saturday night. January 31. In this game the Bedford girls were supported by many girl basketball fans who lead by Sally Miller made the gym ring with yells. The game was fast and the first half ended with a score of 4 to 2. The second half was played clean and hard and on account of the small margin it was decided not to run in any subs on Bedford's side until Captain Carlton was knocked out and Joyner took her place. The game ended with the score 10 to 6 in favor of Bedford, Good s|R rtsmcnship was shown throng],, out the entire game by both sides. Lineup: Bedford Mitchell Pauline Lantz .....

Sectional and Stqte. 'I he South Central looked like a great fight between Bedford ami ashing-ton. Martinsville, the new member of the association, had been badly defeated by Bloomington in dual meet the week before. However they surprised everyone by running away with the meet, leaving Bedford and Washington to fight it out for second. Haase, of Martinsville, was individual point man. winning the high and low hurdles and high jump. il-liams. of Washington, came next, taking both one-hundred and two-hundred twenty and second in broad jump. Dalton, of Bedford, won the mile and half mile in good shape while Edwards took the shot put and placed sccoml in the pole vault. Bedford took second in the relay, being beaten out by only a few feet by Washington. With Martinsville out the sectional looked like a fight again between B. II. S. ami Washington. But as in the South Central an unlocked for dark horse came through. Winslow with only four men ran away with the meet. Fugleman, of Winslow, beat Dalton in the half mile and ran him to a tic in one of the most exciting mile races the sectional has ever brought out. The final score was Winslow .52. Washington 30. Bloomington 21. Bedford S. I.inton 7. Again in the relay Washington beat the Red ami White out by a few feet. In the State tournament the Red and White made up for their previous defeats by coming through with a tic for third place, the highest any Bedford track team has ever placed. Dalton, the veteran distance man was the one who placed Bedford here, winning the mile race ami taking third in the half. Haase, of Martinsville. t« � k two seconds in the hurdles tying Martinsville and Bedford for third. Crawfordsvillc won the meet ami relay. The team for the year 1919 was com| oscd of Carl Dalton. Captain: Roland Edward, Win. Currie. Otis Wilde. Harry Xcwland. Terrell Frazier, John Cook. Raymond Ramagc. Cecil Bottorff. Erwin Koetter. Merlin fathers. Chas. Emery ami Vincent Drchohlc. (Trark 1929 At the beginning of the season, the prospects for a winning track team seemed brighter than ever before. Corps was running the mile in better time than Dalton had the year before while Edwards was heaving the shot clear away and going higher than ever in the | olc vault. But the day dreams caused by the stellar performances of these two men were shattered’ when both the men were declared ineligible. Corps bing 21 years old and Edwards having been in school nine terms. At first things looked dark but at the time of this writing they are taking on a rosier hue. The greater part of last year’s team arc back working hard. The South Central will be held here. The old Lawrence County Driving Park track has l een dragged and marked off. With less than a week till the meet. Wilde is stepping a fast half mile and 440. the toilers arc working hard to make up for the loss of Corps, the dash men are making good time while Cczar. Wright and Drchohlc are filling up the holes left by Edwards in the field events. Last year’s relay team with the exception of one man is back. All in all it looks as if the medals ami cups will not be taken away after all. but that the majority of them will rest in the B. II. S. trophy case. CLASS OF 1920 r Till?

Eight credits arc offered and seven are required. Public speaking may be substituted for the eighth. The work in general follows the course of study outlined by the State Board and conforms to the college entrance requirements in English. The teachers in this department arc Miss Mitchusson. Miss Fields, Miss Durrenberger and Miss Mitchell. It is through their untiring efforts that the English department of II. H. S. has reached such a high standard. LATIN Latin is one of the most beneficial studies offered in II. II. S. It enables one to obtain a foundation for our own language and grammar. Latin terms are used in almost all sciences, as Botany. Physics and Chemistry. The study of this language also dcvelopcs and trains the mind to produce logical thinking. Three years of Latin arc offered and two years are required for graduation. Miss Lodge ami Miss Talbert have charge of this department. ami their work is commendable. FRENCH The studv of French is one of the most popular courses of fered in Bedford High School. The purpose of this study is to enable the pupil to understand and speak the language fluently as well as to gain some knowledge as to the country and its inhabitants. Three years are offered and two arc required for graduation. Miss Cauble has proved to be very efficient in instructing the students taking this course. CLASS OF 1 ) 20 I’JSO One Hundred Nine A THIS IMOXEKR HISTORY The History Course is considered one of the most important and beneficial departments in the school. The purpose of this study is to enable the pupil to have a clear conception of the problems of today by learning of successes and failures of people in Ancient, Medieval and Modern times. One semester of American History is required for graduation, and one year of Ancient ami one of Medieval and Modern arc offered as electives. Miss Fricdlcy. who teaches this subject, is one of the best History teachers in the State and tin much credit can not be given to her for her noble work. CIVICS Anyone who expects to be a useful and intelligent citizen needs a course in Civics. The course given in 11. II. S. consists of federal, state and local governments. The class organizes legislatures, and holds sessions, holds courts and tries its criminals and goes through all business necessary to the proper conducting of a government. One semester is offered and required for graduation, and is usually taken in the Senior year. Mr. Abbett, who conducts this class, has made the work very interesting, and has been helpful in teaching the pupils to become useful citizens. MATHEMATICS The study of Mathematics is a necessary factor in the school and should be given a place of great importance. There i nothing that develops the reasoning powers « f the mind so well as Mathematics. In B. H. S. two semesters of Algebra are required for graduation and an additional semester is offered as an elective. Two semester of Geometry arc required with an additional course in solid Geometry, offered to those who wish to continue their work in college. The instructors of Mathematics are Mr. Ragsdale and Miss Denny. Their work has been very good and many students have been benefited by their careful training. SCIENCE In this age of science and invention, everything is reckoned on a scientific basis. The science department is one of the most important departments in any high school. 1 lie curriculum ot the school is not complete without a well developed course in these subjects. One finds on entering college that science is indeed an important study of which everyone must have at least a year. Our high school offers three courses in science. Botany. Chemistry and Physics, under two competent teachers, Mr. Scott and Miss Durrenberger. BOTANY Botany is an elective of the first year, however many .-indents take this course and the work is indeed fine. The first semesters work is the study of the organs of a complex plant and study of the seed and seedling. The second semester consists of a study of a few of the typical plants, illustrating the various divisions in the plant kingdom. Outside reports are given on plant breeding, forestry, pruning, girdling and diseases of the plants. Plans arc made at the last of the semester for the decoration of the home grounds with the idea of having a flower garden in continuous bloom and harmony. Miss Durrenberger has complete charge of this course and has done a great deal in the making this a popular and interesting study. CHEMISTRY This course is a branch of natural science. It is offered as an elective to either Juniors or Seniors. This branch of study involves the combination of oral instructions and the study of the text book on three days in the week, two periods of laboratory work on the other two days. PHYSICS The study of Physics is very important and interesting. One year is offered and is given as an elective. Three days a week are spent in Study in text book and the other two arc CLASS OF 1 9 20 linr llnndrfd T«i given over to lal oratory work. The purpose of the laboratory-work is to illustrate the general principles of the science and thus to impress them more deeply upon the mind: to acquaint the students with experimental method' of reaching and verifying the truth ; to cultivate the habit of thoughtful observation and the former to (reading) reason logically and to express thought correctly. Mr. Scott who has charge of the studies of Physics and C hemistry has proved very efficient along this line. I’HYSILOGY AND HYGIENE The Hygiene course has its importance front several standpoints, it teaches how to care for and aid the body in its many functions, how to prevent its many diseases and the need for sanitary conditions in our home and public places. The Hygiene class has taken these important points and made a thorough study of each. They have been shown slides illustrating the care of Ixxlv. the care of the home and the important part each individual plays in keeping sanitary conditions in our homes. Mr. Abbett has made the study of Hygiene very interesting by giving illustrated lectures and also by outside lectures. COMMERCIAL The newest addition to the curriculum of the High School is the Commercial Department. There is a crying need for competent business men and women. The school has supplied the means for accomplishing a business education in offering Typewriting, Bookkeeping. Short-hand as well as Commercial Arithmetic and Geography. A pupil finishing a complete course will be given a Commercial certificate which will admit him to anv office. COMMERCIAL ARITHMETIC Commercial Arithmetic is a very beneficial subject offered to those who wish to enter a business life after leaving school. This course purposes to train the pupil to figure correctly, easily and rapidly and to fit him to solve the problems which arise in the business world. The course is given as a separate elective for one semester only and it may be taken by anyone who wishes. COMMERCIAL GEOGRAPHY Commercial Geography is a very interesting and useful study, given as an elective. It deals with commercial products, and the history of commerce. The plan is to treat the commerce of each country under the following heads: the physical basis, the people, the products and the trade. In dealing with other countries special emphasis has been laid on their trade relations with the United States. BOOKKEEPING The course in Bookkeeping will play an important part in aiding those pupils who are going into an office or are accepting some other business |M sition. The experience gained in the class room enables them to accept a position without further preparation. SHORTHAND There is always a great demand for stenographers and those who are adept in shorthand are the ones wanted. The shorthand course offered in B. II. S. is one of the best and one may feel sure of a good position after having completed it. TYPEWRITING The typewriting classes this year have exceeded in numbers any class before this. It was necessary to arrange extra periods, before and after school because of the demand for this work. In addition to Shorthand and Bookkeeping I’ypc-writing furnishes a complete commercial course. Such a course would enable one to accept almost any position offered him. Miss Carlos and Mr. Scott have shown themselves to be competent instructors in commercial work. CLASS OF 10JO |-Mg Olio lliiinlr� sl KIotob T I IE NO X K E K PUIILIC SPEAKING To be able to be a successful person in life, one must have a knowledge of public speaking. It matters not the profession, a business man. lawyer, teacher, doctor, he must know something of the art of expressing himself before bis fellows effectively. One semester is offered in 15. II. S. ami may l� e taken in place of 12 A English or taken in addition. Mr. Abbett has been very successful in teaching the pupils the organization and delivery of speeches, and in doing this has developed c ' fcctive speech. INDUSTRIAL COURSES In later years the needs of industrial courses in the schools has become very essential. There is a practical need for such courses. Sewing ami Cooking are offered for the girl' and Manual Training for the boys. SEWING The purpose of the Department is to prepare the girls for serviceable life by teaching them how to sew. The course consists of one fifty-five minute jieriod each day and is offered for two years if desired. Each girl furnishes her own material and selects and interprets her pattern. As she advances the girl learns how to purchase wisely and how to make her garments so that they will he useful and becoming. Miss Williams has proved efficient in her work ami has taught the girls how to make their clothes at the least expense. COOKING Cooking is a very popular course in 15. H. S. This year the girls of the cooking department have successfully managed a school cafeteria, together with Miss Lappin. No course is more beneficial to girls who expect to l e of service in the world. There are two years offered as elective and advanced cooking may be taken the third year. Anyone is entitled to take this course if they so desire. MANUAL TRAINING The course in Manual Training has proved very beneficial to the boys during the last year. The work is divided, part given to wood work and another part to mechanical drawing. Various articles of furniture were made and all of the work turned out is highly commended. Along with the Manual Training course is a course in Stone Drafting. Those who has finished their mechanical drawing and art arc permitted to take this work. It fits them to work in any of the drafting rooms of the various mills in this district. Mr. Van Winkle has charge of these departments and the work of his department has been highly commendable. ART One year of Art is required for graduation, and another year is offered to those who wish to take it. The art exhibitions have been unusually good this year and many useful and beautiful things have been made by the classes. Miss Ellis has made the work very interesting and her classes have been unusually large this vear. MUSIC The Music Department of the school has deserved a great deal of praise and recognition during the school year. The band, orchestra and glee clubs have done very commendable work. They furnish music for the various entertainments ami aid much in drawing crowds to public speaking activities. More pupils have been interested in the music courses this year and as a result more diligent work has been shown. PHYSICAL CULTURE A new addition to 15. II. S. this year is the Physical Culture Department. The first and second year classes arc required to take one course of this training. The training they receive tends to develop them physically and also is a pleasure. They are taught aesthetic dancing and many other like excr- vises which develop their muscles. The girl have participated in many of the school entertainments this year ami have received much praise for their excellent work. There is also a class from Junior High, who take the training. Miss Mitchell, their instructor, has done excellent work with the different classes and should have credit for her success. HONOR ROLL As a means of giving credit to those whose scholarship deserves it and as an inducement for better work among the students a measure known as the honor roll plan has been adopted. All pupils who make sufficiently good grades are entitled to a place among the names on the Honor Roll which is {tosted in the hall at the end of each six weeks ] criod. The grades necessary for qualification arc 4 subjects, 3 A s ami no C ‘s.

She pursed up her mouth, so as not to seem rash: In the first place, he must have a lovely mustache: I prefer much a blonde one. but a dark one would do Provided one saw white teeth glistening through. Ilis eyes must be dark and romantically blue. His eyes must he dark and romantically hue I le must be well, even immaculately dressed. And always 'fore ladies appear at his best. Ilis age should be somewhere ’tween twenty ami thirty. Ilis nails should be well kept, his hands never dirty; llemust be a good dancer, good rider, good walker. And last but not least he must be a good talker. He should lw good enough, and not a bit more so. For awfully good men. I hink. don't you? bore so: lie must be quite rich, and quite clever to hoot.

Tlilrijr-foiir Stafford Engravings and Stafford Service Our conception of service to the schools we work with includes much more than merely giving the highest quality of engravings that it is possible to produce. We always take a keen interest in both the financial and the artistic success of every Annual for which we are privileged to prepare the engravings. It was this interest that prompted us in the preparation and publication of the Stafford handbook, Engravings for College and School Publications, which we furnish, free of charge to the Annuals for which we work. The success of this book and the fact that we were the originators of this method of co-operation, is to us a source of considerable pride. The publishers of this Annual will tell you that in the planning, financing and preparation of their book, this Stafford handbook was a veritable gold mine of helpful ideas and suggestions. A copy of this book, in addition to all the direct and individual co-operation you may need, and the benefit of our nearly thirty years specialization in college and school engraving, is available to all schools that appreciate this idea of service.
