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.

 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! Ha! laughed Pete. Ouija says Pearl’s success is due to the customary Saturday morning drives delivering meat to the animals of the city. What! Has Dan Cupid been shooting his arrows in our Class!” exclaimed Catherine. Ouija raced to yes and to the suprisc of all announced the marriage of Myra Stipp and Dean N’cwland, which took place more than three months ago. “Congratulations. Myra,” shouted the Class. Marguerite Heath will be married, interpreted Katie. “After finding that Scotty's heart has been stolen by another she will advertise in a matrimonial agency and will secure a prize. The man will be a good looking country fellow from Brown county. You will never recognize the gentle little housewife as vour classmate.” CLASS OF 1920 Page Twcnt
