J Page Thirty-three Senior Class History An ordinary class which has accomplished much by concerted action is the class of 1927. Four years ago a quite ordinary group of beginners invaded the classrooms of M. H. S. They were just plain, over-awed stumblers in the paths of knowledge. Now, four years have passed and instead of green “freshies the mills of knowledge have turned out onc-hundrcd-odd rather undignified seniors. In so far as scholarship is concerned there arc many names which stand forth in almost monumental proportions. In this group are several girls—Mona Mitchell. Gwendolyn Asbcll, Lillian Cezar and llettv Mishop. In athletics stand some truly great figures such as Cummings, Thomas, Quackenbush, Kruchten. Owens, Hitman. Hotter. Peyton, Conley and Malicote. Cummings, one of the best floor men in the state; Thomas, our snappy track man. and Conley, the best wrestler yet developed by Medford High, are worthy of note in any athletic gathering. Kruchten was proclaimed all-state back guard. '1'he bulwark of the publication staffs comes from the senior class. In the annual staff are found Charles Mrazzel. Dorothy Maker. Lillian Cezar. W illiam Pace. Margaret Hierce. Mildred Holmes. Francis Spalding. Philip Malicote and William Smith. On the paper staff are Frank Mass, Artemis Mlackwell. Joseph Moore. Mona Mitchell. Margaret Hierce. George Klein. W illiam Pace. Alice Fielder. Francis Spalding. Mary Mickenheuser. Veda Clark. Alice Fielder. Dorothy Henderson. George Klein. Robert Hotter and Mary K. Powers. At the beginning of their senior year they organized; Francis Spalding was elected president; Walter Hitman, vice-president; William Maroney. treasurer; and Jeannic Hamilton, secretary. Miss Mitchusson was chosen as sponsor. Shortly afterward the class jewelry and clothing were chosen. Lobby Heitgcr. Mona Mitchell, and Todd Gainey were appointed to the committee on ways and means. Business was now flowing smoothly so they decided that a party was next in order. Accordingly, one black, rainy night they motored to Camp Bedford and despite the weather, enjoyed themselves immensely. Money was raised by entertainments, stands, and by the usual sale of holly wreaths. Despite the fact that talent was not outstanding, the class has been able to accomplish much by steady team work and the invaluable aid of their instructors. Francis Spalding Waller Pitman Jean Hamilton U rn. Maroney Page Thirty-tour ‘Boys’ Sponsors This is the third year of the existence of the Boys’ Sponsors, who make it their purpose to uphold the standards and morale of the school and to improve conditions generally. Their efforts arc centered upon the needs of the student body as a whole. The plans for the year were to aid in regulating conduct in the corridors and to establish a new system of student government. These hoys are in charge of the boys’ meetings held every month. On these programs have appeared speakers who addressed the boys on subjects pertinent to the high school student. The topics discussed were those concerning the responsibility of the high school student. Getting the most from a high school education was emphasized. Kmphasis was also placed on high scholarship, upon which the success of all activities depend. Francis Spalding was elected president and Walter Pitman vice-president. Gucrney Cummings. Walter Pitman and James Reath were left from last year’s sponsors. The following were elected by the general vote of the hoys: Howard Hoover. Richard Fish. Frank Rowe, Ollie Quackenbush and Chris Schmidt. With the consent of the faculty. Mr. Julian appointed three others to complete the board, Jacob Kruchten, John Plummer and Robert Potter. At the end of the first term Miles Standish and Flcny I ewis filled the places of Frank Rowe and James Reath. left vacant by their graduation. These twelve hoys under supervision of Mr. Julian meet each week to discuss current problems. They have found these meetings profitable. Through these discussions the boys hope to evolve a system of student self-government. FMOJClS 5PHLDICM OIRJ3 SCMC1DT DIO FI5U ‘JR-HECI wfliXR Pi maw A G UCA.(NlLy CUCX'IKNG’-S OUJE.

TMCVJCU5 CltiNGl RJJTtt TITCK90I Girls’ ‘Reserve Cabinet Two years ago the Girls Reserve was organized in Bedford High School. The slogan of the organization is to face life squarely: its purpose to find and give the best. Each girl strives to honor God, her country and her community, to help other girls and to be in all ways a loyal, true member of the Girls Reserve. In the organization the officers for the past year have been: Mary Josephine Perkins, president: Helen Kruchten. vice- president ; Geraldine Cooper, secretary, and Betty Bishop, treasurer. Four standing committees and a chairman of each have worked diligently in the club this year. These are : Programs. Ruth Pitman; Membership, Helen Kruchten; Social, Kathryn To-taute; and Service, Frances Mann. These officers comprise the cabinet, the governing body of the organization. The organization has given regular parties every month during the year. Through these a spirit of friendliness and fellowship has been aroused between the girls. In addition to these parties a St. Patricks Day party was given. Two other main features of this year's social program have been a Mother and Daughter Banquet and dinner for the Basketball team. The club dedicated a large mirror to the girls of the school. The plans for the future include that of again sending two delegates to Camp Bedford this year as was done last year. Much praise and credit is due Miss Cox, the sponsor, and to the advisors of this organization. Miss Cox attended an Adult Guidance Counsel this past winter at Terre Haute. She derived much help from this and in turn she passed it on to the club. Page Thirty-seven Row One: John Carl Abbot, Leonard Able, Ruth Acton. Juanita Allen, Ralph Allen.

C'he ‘Pioneer” Staff Again the staff of the B. H. S. “Pioneer” has attempted to produce a l ook which will truly reflect the spirit of our school and picture the natural beauty of our country. The staff, with M iss Alford as advisor, chose the “Gypsy Trail as a theme for the l)o ok. hoping thereby to achieve their purposes. Francis Spalding, editor. Charles Brazzel, business manager. Dorothy l� a k e r, senior editor, and Dick Fish, assistant business manager, have worked faithfully with these plans in mind. The gypsy pictures and views which blend the theme and purpose together are all kodak pictures taken under the direction of W illiam . Smith and Miss Alford. Never before has the staff attempted to use so many individual pictures. This year there is at least one picture of each pupil who wished to be represented as a part of the school. ()ther members of the staff are Philip Malicote. art editor with Ralph Owens assisting; W illiam Z. Smith, art snapshots and jokes; Lillian Cezar and Margaret Pierce, activities; W illiam Pace and Mildred Holmes, athletics; Veda Clark, dramatics; Helen Kruchten. staff assistant; Miss Alford, advisor. Pa ;c Sixty-on Ghe ' Student” The “Student is enjoying one of the most prosperous vears of its existence. Thanks to the efforts of Frank Pass, business manager. and Cleon Cogswell, assistant business manager, the income from ads has nearly paid for each issue. W ith the subscription money brought in by Francis Spalding and |oe Moore, circulation managers. many new cuts have been made and a “nest-egg” accumulated for new features next year. Under the direction of Artemis I’.lack well the news material has been kept to its standards of previous years, and two new departments added to the paper. These arc the “Angles froin the Stone Department,” by “Sir Cumfcrenee and the ('.iris’ Reserve Corner. An extra edition was put out for the Sectional Tournament which made the staff a lot of work, a lot of fun. and some cash. Mary Elizabeth Powers and Marge Pierce arc the collection managers. The merchants all run for the cash register the minute they see them coming. The members of the journalism class assist the staff by collecting material and writing news and feature stories and the editorials. Under the direction of Miss Chase they have worked and learned much this year. Too much praise can not Ik given Miss Chase for her aid.

This was presented to Loren Manner, the 76 editor. at the I.H.S.P.A. banquet last ()ctober. Loren Manner, editor-in-chief of the 76 “Student is granted much credit for its success. Mis interest in his work and method of organization of material were splendid. The financial success was made j ossiblc through the work of Denzil Kern and Clement Adams. Thelma Greene, as “Suzetta,” and Charles Guthrie who wrote the feature stories contributed much to make the paper interesting. Assisting the editor was Hetty Cook, editor of the prize winning paper of 75. Miss Chase has been advisor of the Student during both the years when it has won its prizes. Her tireless efforts have made this success |w ssiblc. As a recognition of her knowledge of the problems of high school publications she was chosen to serve on the committee of the State Journalistic Teachers’ Advisory Association.

JF 'U 7J Page Sixty-three iHistorij Club The Lincoln History Club has just finished one of it'' four successful seasons. Its membership is limited to thirty, preferably Juniors and Seniors. Second year pupils are eligible, however, if the club membership is not full. This year the members have all worked well under the leadership of the following officers: John Plummer, president: Marv Elizabeth Smith, vice-president; Veda Clark, secretary, and Petty Pishop, treasurer. Meetings are held regularly on the third Monday of each month in Room 60. The program committee and the ways and means committee have performed their duties admirably, the former being beaded by Carl Ferguson, the latter, by Petty Pishop. On November 29th the members enjoyed a Pot Luck Sup|)cr which included appropriate toasts in celebration of Thanksgiving. Again on Thursday, February 3, they enjoyed a box supper in the old gymnasium. It has wisely converted its profits into material aids for our high school, among which are eighteen history reference books for the library. This includes seme valuable editions such as: Lippincott’s Biographical Dictionary and Shepherd’s Historical Atlas. A gift that will Ik appreciated by both students and citizens of Bedford, is a beautiful silk flag, which is to adorn the platform of our auditorium. Miss Stockhergcr and Miss Friedley have devoted much time and put forth an unusual effort in sponsoring those things that are worthwhile. It is obvious that they have accomplished the purpose. Pj ;c Sixty-four l Commerce Club To best appreciate the work of the Commerce Department and its Commerce Cluli it is well to know of the way in which the department functions. This year two new courses have been added. Commercial Law and Penmanship and Spelling. There is now offered a two year course in the commercial subjects. Last year the department successfully placed the majority of its graduates with the Indiana Limestone Company. This year there are fifteen who will complete the course. The department fosters its Commerce Club. Its increased membership and effort have furthered the execution of it purpose, between social and business life. Several prominent business men have presented profitable information to them at their meetings. The year's program included Supt Abbett. Mr. Julian, Mr. Richter. Mr. Brightly. Mr. Fields and a Royal Typewriter demonstrator. A great number of students were attracted to their clever comedy, “Tilly the Toiler . The cast interpreted their parts in a very realistic way and received manv favorable comments. The part of Tilly the Toiler was ideally imitated by Marjorie Browning, who was employed in the office of Mr. Simpkins (Robert Smith). Mac (George Klein) as usual, bore the burdens of the office routine. The part of Bubbles was well taken by Mildred Pace. Several humorous readings by Marjorie Browning ended one of the most interesting meetings of the year. Much of the success of this club and department is due to the untiring efforts of Misses Geraldine and Rose Mary Dodt who are constantly working to make the department a progressive one. one that will, through effort and persistence, keep the standard that is now characteristic of it. Citeraru Club The Literary Club is an organization f students who arc interested in litci ature. Although the membershii) is open to both boys and girls, it now consists of only girls. The membership during the present year was larger than in previous years and the work has been interesting and successful. American and English poetry was chosen for the topic of discussion. The study of American humorists created a great deal of enthusiasm because it furnished lioth practical enducational value and merriment. Each member respon 1-ed to the roll call with hits of humor. A meeting of special interest was held when Miss Roberts gave a talk, choosing as her subject. “Points of interest abroad . Her recent trip make it |x ssible for her to present first hand knowledge about various subjects. She very vividly described the birthplace of Shakespeare, Anne Hathaway's Cottage, Kenilworth and W arwick Castles in England. She also told alnnit the Prince of W ales, whom she saw on her trip. The annual Christmas party took place in the new cafeteria on Thursday. December 16. Prizes were awarded to those who ranked high in solving clever word puzzles and a gift exchange added much to the pleasure of the evening. A fitting climax was reached in the form of refreshments with red and green novelties as favors. Plans have been made for a picnic which is sure to attract full attendance of the club. Without the leadership of Miss Durrenlierger little would be accomplished. She has directed this club since its beginning four years ago and has proved that science and literature are not so separated as is believed. Alice Mattingly is president of the organization; Rose (Gardner, vice-president and Marv Elizabeth Power secretarv-treasurer. Ghe Girls’ Council When, this past winter, the Girls’ Council was formed, a beginning was made toward solving several problems of the school. This is an organization composed of twelve girls who have as a purpose the promotion of fellowship and the best interest of the girls of the school. In co-operation with the Hoy’s Sponsors they compose the Student Council of the school. Members of the Council are chosen bv election from the whole school and by ap|X)intment. Those elected for this year arc: Helen Correll, Honita Lyon, Frances Mann. Mabel Erdman. Emily Kursner and Nadine Potter. 'Pile advisory board apjjointed six girls. Mary Josephine Perkins, Jessie Donaldson, Mildred Pace, Mary Elizabeth Powers, Thelma Donato, and Helen Hayes who. with those elected, form the Council. Immediately after organizing, officers were elected. They are as follows: Mabel Erdman. president: Mary Josephine Perkins, vice-president; Jessie Donaldson. secretary; and Miss Tearc. sponsor. Pile council meets every Wednesday from 11:15 to 11 :30 in Roll Room 34. where regular routine of business is followed and the many problems of the girls discussed. These girls under the fine leadership of their director. Miss Teare, the dean of girls, are accomplishing much. They have done much toward improving the appearance of our building by erasing marks that mar the walls and desks. I hey assume the responsibility for policing the session rooms and halls. I hey purchased two mirrors for the dressing rooms. A code of ethics and conduct consistent with the standards of the school was formulated for the girls. The most important service which the Council now renders is being fi g sisters” to all the other girls of the school and especially to the new pupils. i Sixty-seven Che lCnights of Drawing ‘Board The club of the Stone Department, the Knights of the Drawing Board, enjoyed a very successful club year for 1926-1927 owing to the activeness of the wits, the thirty-eight members. Much of the success may be attributed to the efficiency of the officers, namely: Kleny Lewis. John E. livers, and Kenneth Maguire. Many enjoyable programs have been arranged through the labor of our program committee to whom the members extend their sincercst thanks for services. The highlight among its social functions was realized in the meeting of Dec. 14. 1926, which took the form of a Christmas party. The room was artistically decorated in Christmas colors and a crackling lire was burning in our artificial fireplace, when Santa Claus (Robert Heitger) squeezed through the chimney. He gave to the Noble Knights ridiculous presents such as garters, bloomers, horns and many infantile toys. W hen the laughter had subsided refreshments of sandwiches and Eskimo pies were served. Along with social good times we have been able to hear several lectures on the practical phase of stone work from some of the prominent stone men of Bedford. The Drafting Course has been and is at the present advancing toward a final goal of perfection under the guiding hand of the instructor. Mr. Cezar. The greatest change took place in the second hour class at the end of the first semester. This class was changed into an office force similar to the office force of a genuine drafting room. W ork is now progressing in almost the same way as it does at a real mill. This idea gives students the practical side of drafting which is the most valuable of the course. Another valuable contribution of Mr. Cezar is in the form of a text l o k which this year is being compiled. Stone ‘Department Mr. Cezar, director of the stone work, has developed a miniature mill from the boys of his department. The second hour class is organized into draftsmen, pattern boys, ticket boys and all such. The boys will name their mill B. H. S. Cut Stone Co., General Manager, Joseph (). Cezar. Flcny Lewis will be the president of the company. Todd Gainey is scheduled for the position of chief salesman. (Kditor's Note: The following extract is taken from the bulletin board of the stone room. These letters arc always purposeful, and full of wisdom. With the aid of such an instructor there is small wonder that this department flourishes.) •ON PENCILS” Dear Students: Since pencils are so commonly used one can't help but observe the various pencil characters one meets. And what a variety of covered graphite there is! New ones, with gay colors and unaltered outline which have yet to taste contact with every day use: well dresed ones that attract attention when at work; the duo-pointed individual which is prepared for an emergency: the pencil urchin that, with be-dragglcd exterior is an outcast from good society : the feeble pencil which for lack of a fine point makes no mark in this world: the short stubby pencil, suggestive of neglected character since it is short of refinement: the pencil with an eraser hints of mistakes and subsequent apologies: the hard leaded individual that causes all to fear his way; and last the soft, mushy, giving type that always smears the work. Men are like pencils. Sincerely, Pencil Point, Sk. Maguire Byers Mr. Cezar Gygcr Heitger Lenis Latin Contest This is the fifth year of existence for the Latin contests. Each year has seen competition become keener and more participants from the schools of the state. This year there were thirty-nine contestants from Lawrence County. Bedford has participated in all of the preceding contests with great success. The year 1923-’24, Winston Hole won state honor in Division II, with a grade of 99.25. Representatives of Bedford High School took most of the honors of the county contests for 1925-'26. The results were as follows: Marjorie Stalker, first in Division IB, Edna Miller first in 1A, while Ruth Pitman took first in Division II. Mona Mitchell and Gwendolyn Asbell won first and second place in Division III. while Ayna Craig and Ethel Brinegar did likewise in Division IV. These persons then competed in the District Contest placing three firsts and two seconds. First places were won in Divisions Hi, III and IV, with second places in Divisions 1A and IV. None of the participants attained state honors. This year the following pupils won the right to participate in the local contest. The honors of B. II. S. were: Division IB. Ruth Black. Margaret Shaflf; 1A. Andy Hamilton. Frances Bower; II, Marjorie Stalker. Billy Andrews, III. Ruth Pitman, Agnes McCann with no competitors in Division IV. As a result of the county contest Bedford has five representatives in the Third District Contest: Frances Bauer. Division 1A; Marjorie Stalker and Billy Andrews. Division II. and Agnes McCann and Ruth Pitman. Division III. The success won by these pupils is due to them. By their consistent effort and the aid of their teachers. Misses Alford. Painter and Roberts, they have earned and merited their honors. Rigc Seventy ‘Debate League Sooner or later there will come a time for each of us to organize our ideas and present them to an audience in a forceful manner. The debating league is a training school to meet the crisis and soon we will have reason to envy the ability of its members as orators. Each member becomes familiar with social, political and economical issues of the day, such subjects as are discussed by the foremost men of the day and which will likely be settled by argumentation. Varsity debaters and those taking part in Public Discussion contests and Oratorical contests, are chosen from the league each year, and the results prove that the training it affords is valuable. This year the league adopted a new plan regulating the competition in their contests. Under this plan every team meets every other team sometime during the season. Previously they have worked under an elimination system. The cup is awarded to the team winning the highest percentage of their debates. 'I'lie meetings, which are held weekly, are open to all who desire to attend. A member of the faculty acts as judge of each debate and uses the same scale of judging as is used in the varsity debates. Mr. McFadden coaches the league debaters. His experience and knowledge of the subject have hel|� ed very much in developing the teams. 'I'lie following were chosen as captains of the various teams: Ruth Pitman. Frances Mann. Lowell Holt, Helen Kruchten. Martha Mann. Frances Sherwood. John Plummer, Catherine C.utheric. I. Carl Abliott. C.eneva Kaum. P.illv McCormick. James McFadden. Cleon Cogswell. Louise Jeffs, Ida Menaugh, Carl Tovev. Kenneth Smith. Wilma Smith. Carl Ferguson. Hiram Lackey, Mildred Ridge Holmes, Ruby Look, Ray Fortner. Last year’s trophy was won bv John Plummer, Ruby Look, and Alice Lyon. Page Socnty-onc LWsittj Debating According to custom members were chosen by competitive try-outs from the student body to represent Bedford High School in debating.

Virginia Montgomery. Todd Gainey, Cleon Cogswell. Carl Ferguson and James McFadden. Mr. Pflasterer is to be commended for his work as coach of the team for the past two years. % Page Seventy-two Girls’ Debating A ('.iris Varsity Debating team has been organized this year the first time in Medford High School. While heretofore there has been the varsity debating team and debating leagues, no regular girls varsity team has had an opportunity either to be. or to function. The varsity teams have held very enviable positions in debating leagues among the high schools of southern Indiana for a number of years. Therefore, from this heritage we are looking to the girls’ team of this year and later years to obtain first place among other girls’ teams. Those who will compose Bedford’s pioneer group of feminine speakers are Ruby Book. Mildred Holmes, Geneva Raum. Frances Mann and Katherine Vermillion. These apostles of. may we say, Lady Astor, may be heard in Roll Room 58, almost any hour of the day (or the night) arguing violently on the official topic for discussion: Re- solved. that Congress should authorize the establishment of a Federal Department of Education with a secretary in the Cabinet. The debate for this season being scheduled with Shortridge High School in Indianapolis. Bedford will defend the negative side of the argument, and we pity the judge who is called upon to decide between two groups of women who argue with conviction. Due credit must be given Miss Gunn for the organization of this team and the coaching. Plans are being made to schedule debates with other ('.iris' teams over the state. Miss Gunn is also hoping that a ('.iris’ League may be organized next year in order that more girls may become interested in debating and thus form more competition.

'This is its fifth year, having been organized by our former superintendent, Mr. E. E. Montgomery. It is open to all citizens of Bedford without any tuition whatsoever. The courses offered were: modeling, stone drafting, commerce and home economics. The modeling class was taught by Mr. Correll; the drafting classes by Mr. Edmonds and by Mr. Cezar. .Misses Dodt and Miss I eare had commerce and home economics respectively. Mr. Cezar’s classes completed work in lettering, geometrical problems, moulding construction line and section line indication, jointing, joints and cubing, workdrawing for windows, tickets and simple building elevation, and tickets. Mr. Edmonds had charge of the advanced classes in drafting. In the commercial department Miss Rose Mary Dodt’s classes closed a scry successful term of work with twenty-nine faithful students. Much was accomplished in typewriting. Speed tests were given and an attainment of twenty to sixty words on practice material and fifteen to forty on new material was realized. The bookkeeping class studied the principles of double entry. A model set of double entry lx oks was worked out. which consisted of a three months course. This course consists of the same work which is done by day students in eighteen weeks. In Miss Geraldine Dodt’s classes a thorough foundation was laid in beginning shorthand so that the students were enabled at the close of the term to take from dictation, short letters on new material. These were transcribed on the type-writer with special care for arrangement. Two of the night students are now in day school finishing their course, confident that it is well worth while. Page Seventy-six was '■llight School Home Economics n:ght class work under Miss Tea re’s supervision divided into three classes, sewing, millinery, and household furnishings. In the dressmaking division much was accomplished. A dress form was made as a demonstration. A paper foundation pattern was used and before the course was completed each lady had made a paper pattern to tit herself. F’oints in tailoring were taken up and t me was divided in learning how to make the necessarv tailored points such as pockets, neck finishes, arrow heads, seam finishes, and plackets. In the millinery class, lessons on the following tilings were discussed: wire, buckram frames, flowers, trimming and renovating of hats, ribbons and flowers. Each member of the class bought crowns and used buckram frames to cover them, making very attractive bonnets. Flowers from silk ribbon and chiffon were made. Other things discussed were tailored hows and linings. The latter part of the term work was devoted to paintex work. Lampshades. scarfs, and handkerchiefs were painted. During the household furnishing discussions, many prominent business men of the community gave talks along this line. Mr. Xewland from the Art Store gave a very interesting talk on wallpaper. March 3, Mr. Dan Tofaute. from Webb Dry Goods Co., gave an instructive and interesting lesson on draperies and their value to the home. The last night of class was celebrated by a spread and a lesson from moving pictures was enjoyed by all of the members. The attendance of the Home Economics classes averaged from thirty-five to forty. All those who were interested and gave up two evenings each week, Tuesday and Thursday, have profited. Those of the townspeople who have given their time and services to the furtherance of this work are to be thanked for their unselfish efforts. Pa c Seventy-seven A Pair of Sixes” Page Seventy-nine Ohe ‘Band I his has indeed been a gala year in the music circles of Bedford High School, for it brought to us our long hoped for and greatly prized uniformed band The citizens of Bedford co-operating with the school authorities made this |X)ssible. To one loyal citizen of the town goes much credit for the success of this band, both in planning for it and training it after its organization. This man is its director. Mr. Frank Reed. It has been he who. foi a long time, dreamed and planned for such a hand as he now directs. Is it a wonder that he swells with pride as he remembers the years of waiting. and loudly plays “'Three Cheers for Bedford High School ?” At the beginning of the organization of this band, a call was given for recruits. Seventy-three responded from our schools. Those who did not have instruments of their own were provided with these by the school. When the citizens of Bedford saw that we meant business it took them just twenty-four hours to raise $1400 to buy the coats and caps for this band. W e were proud, too. Then these citizens decided they needed an additional incentive to cause them to perfect their tooting. Therefore, at the ()rleans game, they passed the blanket and enough money was raised to send all seventy-five to Bloomington Dec. 17 to dedicate the new gymnasium there. Their first appearance here was Dec. 31 at the Anderson game, when they marched and drilled to our pride and satisfaction. Quite the crowning event of the year for them was their trip to Martinsville. This was made possible through the interest of the American Legion, and as a result they invaded the Artesian City, and gained more honors for the Red and White. Mr. Rkki PJKe Eighty Ghe ‘Band Frank Bass. dignified senior, was chosen to l e the first drum major of Ik II. S. And a prancing, high-stepping one he has proved to he! Not only can lie strut in pride and dignity, but he has trained his band to drill in a fashion which gains praise for them at every appearance. Bedford High School gives thanks to the citizens of Bedford who have made |x ssiblc this band wearing our colors of red and white. W ith Mr. Frank Reed as director, Frank Bass as drum major and seventy-three members participating they have made possible the best band in the state. The members and instruments played are as follows: Clarinet: Andrew Hamilton. Mary Jo Perkins. William Stuckey, Brace Bilyeu. Paul Menaugh, Raymond .Malott. Harold Howell.

E� KC KiKhiy.onc Girls’ Glee Club 'I'Ik importance of the C.lec Club was recognized this year when training in this line was added to the regular curriculum of the school. It is offered the sixth hour on Thursday and Friday. The two (dec Clubs unite every W ednesday forming a mixed chorus. Academic credit is accordingly given for participation. In addition to this, credit is also given to those who are studying privately and make satisfactory reports to the supervisor. Miss Martin. Membership in the club is gained through trv-outs and forty-five have succeeded in passing. This makes a balance of parts with fifteen first sopranos, fifteen second sopranos and fifteen altos. Attired in their jaunty black velvet jackets and white flannel skirts, which they chose as a uniform, the girls have appeared before the schools several times. They are always willing to take these jaunty uniforms forth to sing for the clubs of tile city who desire to be blessed by seeing and hearing. Uniting with the Hoys (ilee Club and aided by the W omen’s Department Club they undertook and successfully presented the C.ilhert Sullivan production. “Pinafore . Assisting them from the townspeople were Mrs. John T. Glover. Lucy Bcddoe. Mrs. Ella Kingman. Messrs. Charles Carress. Homer Brown. Celeste Owens. Charles Kascli. Howard Hatfield. Mrs. Ray Boruff assisted Miss Martin. They have proved their ability as saleswomen by the receipts from the sales of candy. Eskimo pies and mints at the basketball games. The different sections of the music department formed the Bedford Music Association. Officers were elected for the association instead of having officers for each section. The officers are as follows: Helen Correll. president; John Plummer, vice-president; Miles Standish. secretary; Miss Martin, treasurer; Hiram Lackey, assistant treasurer. ‘Boijs’ Glee Club The Boys' (flee Club is one of the most active organizations in the high school. It now consists of thirty hoys who hold rehearsals three times a week, for which they receive one-half academic credit. Every heart is gladdened when this group of harinonizers appear on the program. Their line services are not confined to the high school, for they act as an agent to express the loyalty and pep of the school to the organizations of the city. They assisted in the opera. Pinafore,” which was given this Spring. The club also assisted the Girls' Glee Club in the candy sales at the basketball games. The orchestra, and both glee clubs united to present a spring concert. This was one of the most delightful they have presented. All of these accomplishments have been made possible by the aid of Miss Martin, director. Her interests and efforts have made the Boys' Glee Club an organization that is worth while to the school and to the community. The members are Eddie Railsback. Billy McCormick. Henry Green, Joy Lively, Hiram Lackey. James Steele. Billy Becker, Max Dollins. W illiam Luallen. John Carl Abbott. Donald Wallis. Russell Wallis. Charles Bauch. Curtis Carter.

Orchestra Medford High School’s orchestra is an organization composed of the following thirty instruments: nine first and ten second violins, one ’cello, three clarinets. one tlnte. three saxaphoncs. four cornets, two trombones, three mellophones. the drums and piano. Miss Martin, supervisor of music, is director. They meet for rehearsal three times a week during the seventh period. In the general reorganization of the music course this year the members of the orchestra were granted one-half academic credit each semester. Virginia Montgomery, first violinist and concert master of the orchestra was sent to represent the Bedford orchestra in the All-State High School Orchestra which plays each year for State Teachers’ Association. I’his is an outstanding honor for a pupil to attain. The orchestra as a whole plays for special programs and furnished a very splendid accompaniment for the Christmas pageant given for the community Christmas program in the gymnasium.

PaSc Eighty-four Athletic Athletic Association The 1 . H. S. Athletic Association lias as its chief tasks tlie maintenance of all activities and the management of the new gymnasium. 'This first is no small undertaking, inasmuch as it includes the financing of the basketball, wrestling and track teams, debating and oratorical activities, and Latin Contests. Xot only these, but also it has financed the activities of the music department, although to a less degree this year than in the past. Managing and financing the new gym. however, is its marked success. 'Phis gymnasium was built nearly three years ago. Financial statement can not now be made of this year’s receipts. However, in the two years just passed, the debt on the building has been reduced $22,000. This is a record which speaks highly for the management of the association. This year $1,115 was Ledford's share of the tournament proceeds. This will be applied on the gymnasium debt. From the basketball season $4,000.00 was cleared, over and above e. | enses. It would seem that this year’s season has l cen the equal of the past. Just as the erection of this gymnasium was made possible through the loyal supi ort of Bedford citizens, just so its maintenance depends upon their help. Bedford High School appreciates this aid from the townspeople. 'flic management of the association has been in charge of Robert Potter, president; Gurney Cummings, vice-president; Helen Correll. secretary, and Mr. Julian, treasurer. These people easily prove their fitness to serve. For four years Robert Potter has given much time and loyal service to his school; Gurney Cummings, captain of the ‘27 basketball team, needs no further recommendation; Helen Correll is known for her loyal sup| ort of B.M.S. and Mr. Julian, principal, has already proved his value to the school. - r' • Robert Potter .. ...

Mis clear thinking and ability to handle the ball have swung them through many a game. A finer captain no team has had. Buck Page Ninety-four Cumminys ‘Basketball 1926-27 At the opening of the season. Gurney Cununings. known best as “Buck , was chosen to captain the basketball team. Cummings played at floor guard position, and a cleaner, more deliberate player was not found in the state. He proved himself a true guide, the pivot around which each game swung. Mis ability was recognized in the State Tourney by his being chosen on the second all-state team. Those who have seen him play know that by his graduation B. II. S. loses one of the most level headed and best all around players she ever had. Kveryonc who knows high school basketball for the past two seasons knows Jake Kruchtcn. Jake has been a very valuable man to his team during that time as he played the double role of jumping center and hack guard. A veritable giant in size, his guarding was the feature of any game in which lie played, lie and Buck formed a combination that terrorized any famed forward who tried to pass them. Not only this, hut his long range shots made him a valued player in each game. Not the least of his attainments was the distinction of being chosen by every sports writer as back guard on the first all-state team. Moreover, this additional one- the fact that he played three games in the state tournament without a personal foul. To Walter Pitman fell the position of center. Squire’s cool-headed attack was a great asset to his team. There was found no player in the state who knew how to break up a “stall’ as did Squire. Therefore, this method of attack made him an unusually valuable PiRC Ninety-five player. He | ossesscd an uncanny straight shot at the basket which had a habit of working itself in at timely moments. Squire is also a senior, and with bis departure there will be taken from the team a remarkably line spirit and splendid attitude which never faltered. Paul Owens played one of the forward positions on the team this year. “Happy was a thoroughly trained B. H. S. player. His experience began back in the leagues, and then on to the second team. There is little wonder, then, that when bis turn came to fill a position with the first five he was both ready and able to do it. He was a scrapping, lighting player, a remarkably good shot, terrorizing many teams by that famous left-handed under the basket shot. He always ranked high in the scoring, and was chosen on the second all-state team. He. too, leaves school this year, leaving a place hard to fill. Serle Miller, the other forward, is the only one of the regular five who does not graduate. Sammy won recognition as a player in his first year, having participated in the state tournament last year. It is small wonder that he was one of the outstanding forwards in the state. As the season advanced he became a more aggressive player, until he became famous for his attack as well as for bis ability to shoot. He ranked among the first ten scorers in the state tournament. Sammy has two more years to play. Therefore, we say. Watch him play.” Robert Potter, guard, lias played on the first and second squads for three years. He has always proved a steady, reliable man, ready for service when he was needed. His splendid attitude, willingness to serve, and fine spirit on and off the floor will make Hob greatly missed after bis graduation. When Bob Sears was sent into the game the fans always e. | ectcd some scoring, much fighting and good defensive play. He will long be remembered for bis work in the Martinsville game. With two more years to his credit he should make a name for himself. Page Ninccy-six The most versatile player of the whole team was Ollie (Juackcnhush. the one who got Martinsville’s goat , for with Ollie in the back guard position both those games were won. That's enough to establish a reputation. He played back guard, floor guard or forward, and didn't mind which it was. He could always be depended U|� on to score and to hold down his position. He also graduates, and when he leaves II. H. S. will lose one of her most de| endable players. Chris Schmidt, one of those two that one never knows apart, was a sure shot. He proved to be a fiend on follow up shots and was a problem to any back guard. Chris came on to the squad shortly after the season opened and played a consistent game. He has two years more to play, therefore B. H. S. expects much of him. Size doesn't always make a player. Artie Klein demonstrates this fact completely Fast and sure, he made trouble for any team when he was substituted, for he was large enough to hold his own. but small enough to be elusive. He always showed a fine spirit and with another year to play he should make a place for himself among the best. This fighting basketball squad presented Bedford High with seventeen victories out of twenty starts during the season which ended Feb. 25th. Many of these victories were won from teams which usually go far in state competition. All of them were won and the others, lost, in a clean fashion. There have been no unsportsmanlike tactics employed by Bedford players or by Bedford fans. 1 he first game was played at Washington. Bad roads occasioned by worse weather, caused several accidents along the way. but a good crowd cheered the team to a 27-26 victory. hven with such a propitious start some of the fans predicted a defeat at the hands of Martinsville, but those strong-headed young scrappers came through on the long end of a 35-34 count. Page Ninety-seven Scars Orleans was crushed by an avalanche of stone. I he final score stood 13-14. The fans were getting pretty well puffed up by this time, so that defeating Vincennes was considered quite the ordinary thing. Score 35-27. Hatchets were blunted a whole lot when they invaded the lime cave. They went home at the short end of a 34-20 score. Coach Ivey really felt like apologizing for beating Crawfordsville so badly. The score was 60-34. Manual's team of near Goliaths were laid to rest by five Davids who slung a basketball instead of a pebble. Despite the fact that the Iveymen looked like “little boys.” the Man ualites lost 51-37. The team came down on our ancient enemy in the approved Sennachcribian manner. Anyway, Bloomington fell. 29-21. Next—Anderson, 51-29. Vincennes came determined to revenge herself, but couldn't, though she gave the home team a smart run. Score. 25-22. It was becoming fashionable, so Marion visited Ivey’s remodeling shop and was beautifully plastered. Score. 55-21. January 14. 1927 Anno Domini, woe was our lot. A tough jawed set of Bulldogs broke the stone wall string of victories. II. H. S. met her Waterloo. 29-45. A few faint hearts l egan razzing the team, but Coach Ivey smiled a quiet smile, and said nothing at all. Marion almost repeated that story but lost in an overtime period, 31-29. Quackenbush I'jrc Ninety-eight January 28 and 29 Shelbyvillc and Muncic beat a slccpy-looking Bedford quintet. The former by a score of 33-38; the latter, .VI-36. Dear George Purcell was beside himself with ecstasy, For one whole week he shot good natured chunks of razzberries,” and lemon peel”, toward the impregnable stronghold of Bedford courage. It must have been a shock to Mr. Purcell to sec the Red and White” wake up and trounce his beloved “kittens.” Oh. yes,—the score was 32-28. Wham! Flags flying, drums beating, the band playing, and heads high, about half of the townspeople of Bedford struck the town of Martinsville. A few hours later five men of Bedford played a game and two overtime periods with five Martinsville men. They also “whammed,” the score was 39-36. The haughty fans fully expected another victory over Anderson. The fans were not disappointed. Score, 50-31. Richmond waged a hard fight hut against great odds. Bedford won without an effort. 70-26. The fellows who composed the team will soon he separated. Captain Cummings, he of the bulldog carriage, is graduating. Kruchten, the giant, goes with him. so does the silent Squire, Scrappy. Happy, and good old O'llie Quackenbush, and that sheik. Boh Potter, follow the same road of basketball. Of the first squad members seven remain: Miller, Sears. C. Schmidt, J. Schmidt, Klein, Murray and Pentzer. Good teams have won, good teams have lost, hut whether they win or lose we hack our gang. C Smith Kirin Page Ninety-nine Visitors at the tournaments Sous’ leagues The Boys’ Leagues started off with a bang this year. Mr. Turmail and Mr. Banta chose the contending teams and they were evenly matched. During the first of the season there were many teams tied for lirst place. Until the first live games had been played there were four teams with no defeats. As the games went on the teams’ percentage dropped until teams II, G and I), were in the lead, 'file end of the season showed II ahead with an average of .683 percent and team a close second with a perentage of .676. At the close of the lirst semester with team II well in the front, Frank Rowe, captain and pivot man on the team, graduated and during the slump that followed team II was hard pressed to maintain its leadership. Bruno Beretta and John Carl Abbot were consistent scorers for the winners, each averaging ten |x ints a game, l he members of the champion team are: Frank Rowe, captain; Bruno Beretta. John Carl Abbott. Maurice Mitchell, Fred Fletcher, Herbert Self. Carl Rainbolt and Eskie Higgins. Team K finished about half way down in the league standing and surprised everyone by winning the league tournament which is played after the close of the regular schedule. They defeated team I) in the final game, 21-16. The members of this team were: Fleny Lewis, James Bullock. Hazel Meadows, Bill Pace, Dick Fish. William Stuckey, William Becker and Pernas Jacobs, file team winning the league is presented with a silver loving cup with the players’ names inscribed on it. fhe Boys’ League is one of the most active organizations in the Bedford High School, 'fhe keen rivalry and the s|)ortsmanship displayed in these games serve to keep the boys interested. Page One Hundred Two Girls’ leagues Athletics for the girls of Bedford High School is limited to participation in the physical training classes and league teams in basketball. All girls are eligible and the teams arc coached by Miss Carleton with the assistance of each team captain. Games are played twice a week, on Monday and Thursday afternoons, just following the close of school. After the teams have been organized and their players have become accustomed to their positions a tournament is held. All the teams but one are finally eliminated. 'flic year 1926 had as its winner team Eleven, which was composed of six girls. Virginia Mcnaugh. captain; Kubv Book, Ruth Pitman. Nancy Duncan. Mary Lessig. and Beulah Capshaw. In order to win the championship this team had to defeat the thirteen other teams in the school, each one composed of six girls. The unusually keen competition of the 1926 tournament made it hard for the winning team to play through. Each year a large silver basketball, bearing the name of each player is presented to the captain of the team, who very willingly gives it back to the school to be displayed in the trophy room. All of the players of the champion team are given a Bedford High School monogram. The year 1927 has brought a number of beginning pupils into the basketball leagues who are eager to learn the fine points of the game. Fourteen teams make up the leagues for 1927. from which Miss Carleton expects to produce competition stronger than in any previous year. Each year it is hoped that by the next there may be a varsity squad for the girls which will meet interscholastic competition. Although this is still just a hope it does not prevent the girls from entering heartily into the leagues.

For the first time representatives from the school participated in the state meet held at Bloomington in March. There were twenty .schools participating. First place was won by Elwood. second by Wabash, and third by Bedford. As a result, we won two championships, two seconds, and one third place. 'Phc following ten boys participated in the meet: Clarence Hawkins. Carl Kainbolt. Paul Conley. Philip Malicote, Howard Pace. Capt. Albert Mitchell. Paul Porter. Paul Scherschel. Edward Moore, Alfred Scherschel. Howard Pace proved to be the best in the 135 |xnmd class and won the state championship for his school. He was a senior, having graduated with the class of 1026 and so had but one year of participation. Ilis record for the year was unusual, having won each dual meet, lie entered Purdue I nivcrsity in the fall and proved that his prowess still continued by winning his numeral in the 145-! ound class. 'Phc other state champion of 1926 is Captain Paul Conley who entered and won the 115 pound class. Paul is one of the outstanding high school wrestlers in the whole state.

These were Paul Scherschel, Carl Rainbolt and Edward Moore, winning two seconds and a third place. Paul Scherschel was entered in the 165 |M und class and placed second in the state meet. He was a senior, having graduated in June and achieved his honors after only one year of training and participation. Scherschel holds a good record in scholastic lines as well as in athletics. Twice during his high school career, he achieved such marked success in stock judging contests that he was awarded trips to the International stock show. He, as well as Pace, entered Purdue in the fall, and has been awarded the monogram for his achievement in college wrestling. Both are looked upon as exceptionally skillful. Carl Rainbolt won second honors in the 108 pound class. He was a second year pupil when he achieved this distinction, having then two more years of participation. This year he has been one of the outstanding wrestlers of the state, winning consistently against the best coni| etition. In the two years which he has wrestled he has lost but one dual meet. He is expected to win his event in the state contest. One more year should see him easily the best in the state. Edward Moore won third place in the 175 pound class. Moore was the third of the seniors of '20 who won state honors. He was. also, one of the three who hold the honor of winning both the athletic block “15 and the old English scholastic having gained this last by virtue of two years’ service on the art work of the “Pioneer”, and its competition in the State High School Press Association contests. Page One Hundred Thirteen I AW KINS I’KYTON LrALl.KK C. Kainhoi.t LOrestling Besides Captain Conley, 125 | ound grappler, and Carl Rainlx lt, of the Hr |K und class. Coach Held lias as one of his most promising proteges Clarence Hawkins. Hawkins participated in the 100 ]X)und class last year with much success. This year he advanced to 10S jxnmds and has lieen so successful that lie has won each of his dual bouts in the meets with the strongest teams in the state. He has two more years in which to develop, and will he the outstanding wrestler in the state in his class at the present rate of progress. In the 165-| ound group Coach Held has a new man. Leonard Peyton. Last year Leonard failed to feel like a wrestler, but is making up for it now. He is a scientific grappler. quick and with a little more self confidence, which will come through experience, he should make a valuable man. He has another year in which to participate, consequently much is expected of him in the 1927-’28 season. William Luallen won his place on the wrestling team at the l eginning of the season, but was forced to give it up owing to ill health. It is hoped that he will recover sufficiently to appear next season. George Kainbolt. the lightest lightweight, is another newcomer this year. He is a younger brother of C. Rain bolt, therefore, all things considered, much is to Ik expected of this 100-pound youngster. With the two year’s training which he has before him he should l c a rather formidable scrapper. One Hundred Fourteen Mitciikll Scoville Delaney Malicote Season 1926-1927 This season found a new candidate in the 155-poun l class. Sylvester Mitchell won this position and has shown much improvement and development during the year. He has still another year of participation, therefore will be a valuable member of the team. George Scoville came to I . II. S. during the first term from Iowa, and by example he proves to us that they grow something else there besides corn, for George qualifies in the 175 class. I le is developing into a good, scientific wrestler. Mis splendid attitude and physique are expected to help him to reach the top of bis class during his next and last year of participation. I'rank Delaney represents I led ford High School in the 145 class. He has two years more in which to participate and consequently, with proper training should make a valuable man for Coach Held’s squad. Philip Malicote. 135-pound class grappler is a “l� man from last year, having been entered in the 125-pound class. He held a good record last year though he underwent a slump during part of this year’s season. However, he improved sufficiently to be entered in the state meet this year. Alfred Scherschel. heavyweight, developed well this year and his skill showed up better as the season advanced. He has held his own with the state champion and bids fair to improve much more during bis next two years. An injury to his knee prevented bis entrance into the state meet. Page One Hundred Fifteen tOrestling Schedule 'I'lic first wrestling meet of the season was held I;eb. 5 with the lllooiningtoii team and proved to be a defeat for Bedford.
