Abbett Roy B. Julian Merle J. Abbett, well-beloved Superintendent of the Bedford City Schools is a graduate of Franklin College and of Columbia I niversity, holding his M. A. degree from the latter. He came to Bedford in 1916 as principal and coach. In 1925, when Mr. Montgomery was called to a higher position, Mr. Abbett succeeded to the superintendency. Bedford has no truer friend nor more loyal citizen than Mr. Abbett. o worthy campaign for civic betterment is launched without his co-operation. Wherever lie goes as a representative of the Bedford City Schools he carries praise for Bedford‘s industries and citizenry, lie is our bulwark and strength in every good movement. His loyalty for the High School and its activities needs no mention. His encouraging words and winning spirit have won many a Bedford victory. May he long continue to serve us in our need! Roy B. Julian, popular and respected principal of the Bedford High School is a graduate of Indiana University, where he is finishing the work on his M. A. degree. After serving his apprenticeship in the Lawrence County Schools he went to South-port as superintendent. With great reluctance, they released him in 1926 to take the principalship of Bedford High School. This difficult and important post. Mr. Julian has filled admirably. He has preserved a balance between various activities of the school, lie has maintained standards of high scholarship. Disciplinary problems have been few due to an expert method of just but sure treatment. He has enjoyed the confidence and support of our citizens and civic organizations. 4 It may be truly said that he is tin man for the job.

ISSUE liRirnmn iiiuii nciioot s honor. A distinguished honor lun come to Bedford high school in the award of all-American laurel for producing the beet high school annual In the content sponsored by the National Scholastic Press of the University of Minnesota. The publication is known a the lloneer and It previously had won first place among the Hoosler books In high schools Of Its class. Tbl la the second year In which the Bedford annual has won the state award, but It is the first tlrno It ha achieved national distinction. The success of the Stone city school wo posst-bte only by a combination of talent, real and enthusiasm on the part of the students, ar.d the loyal and lnte!!ig nt supervision of the teaching staff. Those who had any part tn th preparation of the Pioneer are to he congratulated upon the honor they have won for their city and state. The laurela too often, it seems, are reserved for outstanding athletic achievements, particularly basketball, la this etate. It la all the mors gratifying, therefore, to note an example of unusual merit ng scholastic and artistic lines. JAN. 1st. ISSUE. m u.ium; mokk than a itiam. Coach Ivey of the Bedford high school basketball team Is doing far more valuable work than simply producing a combination of plalyers superior to the representatives of other Hoo ier school . His team has been highly successful tfcl season and un-, til last week had not been defeated. Naturally, the fans of th Rtooa city-have had visions of a alate championship, a dream of several yeats which has heretofore fallen just short of realization. During the game In which Bedford bowed to Franklin three of the former's best player did not participate. All were reported a having broken training regulations earlier in the week. The coach would not abandon his disciplinary program even though It meant the loss of the contest. � U course will be respected throughout the state and should meet with th plaudit of th Bodford student themselves. It should also teach the three offenders a timely lesson they will not soon forget. Th success of the team may have upset the Judgment of the player and caused them to forget that strict discipline Is mors important than the winning of game or their presence on tbe team. The star player occasionally makes th mistake of believing that his services are Indispensable. lit suffer a real injury when coach and fans aid in producing that opinion by failure to pensllte any violation of the rule of training or sportsmanship. The Bedford trio should profit by the lessoei and realize that’ loyalty to their school, coach and team Is vastly more important than their own whims, and that their services, however valuable they may be la helping to win games, count for Mill when weighed In th bslsnce against the rosily worthwhile factors tn high school athletic . Bedford Is by no mean the only high school which has been confronted by this problem. Unfortunately. coaches and school official have not always had the character to subordinate the winning of game to the maintenance of character and sportsmanship. It is no secret that player have been permitted to play when their scholastic work was woefully unsatisfactory. They have become high school heroes and concluded that the world was theirs. VJn-fltted for serious study, they have experience's 4 awakening In college, where they remain only a few weeks or month . With no educational background, they become economic drones- ____ Pane IU Page 19 Page 20 3u iHrmnriam Mary Huff Paul Smith Herman Fiscus George F. Owens Ray Mitchell Leon A kies W. E.

Page 69 History of the Class of ’29 List yc to a tale of the achievements of members of the class of 29, in their efforts and struggles to obtain an education and a career. The first few years in school were like a wonderful adventure, with everything new and interesting. But as the years slipped by ami we were gathered into one class, life began to have even a brighter and sunnier side. hen first passing between the walls of B. II. S. we were somewhat bewildered with the strangeness and confusion of our new surroundings. “Freshie!” “Grcenie! What cordial welcomes! These and many other such expressions greeted our entrance into high school. But in spite of these beastly remarks each of us was determined to prove himself equally as loyal as those “dignified upper classmen. It was not long before the true spirit of B. II. S. was realized, when more than half of the class responded to a call for participation in various activities of the school's curriculum. Thus, during the first year in high school some outstanding talent was noted in both scholastic and athletic circles. Serb Miller, as a member of the varsity basketball team, took part in the State Tournament. Of course, this was considered an unusual honor for one of the so-called “insignificant underclassmen to attain. ith Mr. Held as coach, a number of our members participated in numerous wrestling meets, the activity having just been introduced into B. II. S. Marjorie Stalker gained recognition for Bedford High School by winning the local and district Latin contests, as well as acquring honorable mention in State competition in her division. Billy Andrews was also brought to attention by qualifying in the local and district competition. It was evident that numerous advances would likewise be made in the various musical organizations, due to a large number of exceedingly talented members along these lines. So passed the first year and then we were heralded as the “Smart Alecks and the “Know-it-alls” of the school. By this time a more representative group of the class had joined the orchestra and band. Some bad entered athletics, which included basketball, track, and wrestling, and a few bad paved their way for oratorical honors. At last came the time which everyone of us had looked forward to for years with longing expectation. Oh. to be a Junior! In our opinion, this carried with it all the prestige and influence needed to finish our school career. We were no longer “Greenies” or “Know-it-alls” but an organized group—upper classmen. Juniors! For our class officers we elected Fred Cuddy, President; Maxine Skinner, Vice-president; Donald Wallis, Secretary; and Marjorie Stalker, Treasurer. Helen Woolery was chosen Sponsor, and, guided by her leadership, the class enjoyed a most successful year. The class was host to the Seniors at the annual banquet Iwsides amusing themselves at a picnic in the spring, only members ! eing privileged to attend. During the year, great steps forward were made in athletics, especially, although musical and scholastic achievements played an important role in the class development. Serle Miller captained the basketball squad, members of which included Kenneth Heath. Ernest Todd, Yank Terry and Chris Schmidt. Richard Austin. Leland Girdley, Herbert Self, and Ray Foster won more honors for B. II. S., this time on the track field. In the State Wrestling meet, Clarence Ilawkns placed first. George Rainholt, second, and George Bowden and Leonard Peyton carried off third honors in their respective divisions. Harry Blackburn and Claude Beyers were members of the team although neither of them took part in the State contest. Miles Standish, Billy Andrews. John Newkirk, Rhea Dawn Fields, Kathryn Steurer, Violet Nordberg, William Waldron, Louis Krenke and Mildred Still at this time, were known to excel in music. ‘age 70 Miles Standish, Fred Cuddy and Louis Krenkc participated in Varsity Debating. These and others also provided competition in various oratorical contests. Helen Steele and Mary Griffin were members of the team which took part in the Shorthand contest, introduced for the first time into Bedford High School. The team won first place in the district contest, held in Bloomington, and entered the state contest at Muncie, but did not place. Then it seemed only a few days until we were Seniors. Something almost un-belicveable. Dignified Seniors! We selected for our leaders Miles Standish, President: Kenneth Heath. Vice-President; Mary Griffin, Secretary; and Donald Wallis, Treasurer. Miss Mitchusson, our beloved Sponsor, has been largely responsible for the huge amount of success that has come to our Senior Class. Our social events began by introducing a new day into the school's social calendar, known as “Senior Day.” 'fhc new event began with an entertainment and program, furnished by talented Seniors, and given before the assembly of the school. In the afternoon a picture show was given, all students having been invited to attend. A Hallowe’en Box Supper for the Seniors, held in the old gymnasium in the evening was considered most successful and entertaining. We count in our number six members of the famous 1928-1929 basketball squad, who have hung up a record unequalled before in B. II. S. history: Kenneth Heath, captain, Serb Miller, Herbert Self. Finest Todd, Chris Schmidt, and Yank Terry. In track, l.eland Girdlcy, Self, Terry, Hay Foster, and Richard Austin have met with much success, 'flic wrestlers, who brought us signal honors in our Junior year, repeated these feats as Seniors, ably captained by Clarence Hawkins. Forensics has again attracted Fred Cuddy, Miles Standish, Louis Krenke. and Kenneth Beirigcr. Besides making the arsity Debating team, they have formed the nucleus for our oratorical and discussion contests. “Les Femmes” of 29 have not proved to be very interested in argumentation tat least in regular form) but Haclicl Gordon made the Girl’s Debating Squad and the class furnished several talented readers for other phases of contest work. In dramatics this year many Seniors starred. Of course Don, Lois, and Martha will never be forgotten in their work while Juniors in “Mr. Pirn Passes By. Now in the Senior year others came to their assistance: Leland Girdlcy, Mary Helen Quinn, Rachel Gordon, Naomi Black, Helen Steele, Kenneth Beirigcr, Billy Andrews, and a host of minor parts in both “Hay Fever and “Pirates of Penzance. Our indominatible stage manager, Harry Rhorer, without doubt will be missed in future stage productions. Fred Cuddy led tin forces of the “Stone City Student” toward a higher goal while Evelyn Houston braved the responsibilities of Editor-in-chief of the Pioneer.” Indeed, Seniors played a large part in both publications. The class, as a whole has not been backward along financial lines. Miles Standish gave the “Pioneer its largest budget in school history by his untiring work in selling ads. lie also ably directed us at various tasks in making class money such as selling Christmas Holly; tickets for Victor Hugo’s ‘The Man Who Laughs”; and various other lesser activities. We climaxed this part of our work by hanging out the S. R. 0. sign at the Claire Bruce and John Hendrickson production of “Julius Ca?sar. It was very commendable to have tin organized company of the late Robert Mantel 1 to come to the city of Bedford. This same true spirit and the same high ideals so characteristic of our every action in our activities while in B. II. S. will undoubtedly inspire us to lead a life of service and earnest endeavor in meeting our great problems in life.

Grads of ’29 Reunite Class Meets for First Time In 18 Years; Notables Return to Feast Last night the Greystone Hotel was tin scene of a reunion for fifty-one men and women who graduated from Bedford High School in 1929. Not for eighteen years had the class been so nearly intact. Around the banquet table the old h’gh school songs were sung, and many trifling experiences that happened during those four years were discussed with relish. Miles Standish, President of the Citizen's National Bank at Tallahassee, Florida, acted as toastmaster. First he announced William Smiley, editor and manager of the Bedford Daily Mail, who in a short speech welcomed all to Bedford again. He mentioned some who are still citizens of Bedford. “This city knows well several members of our class, he said: “Violet Nordberg is now teaching the fourth grade in the new Central Building; Bussell Childs paints most of the attractive advertisements that one sees about the town; Charles Schooley holds a responsible position as electrician at the Furst Stone Mill; many people are enjoying fresh butter and eggs from one of the most prosperous Lawrence County farms, ow ned by Raymond Malott; Richard Rainbolt is the capable owner and manager of Bedford’s most progressive dry goods store, once owned by W. A. Webb; Ruth Acton operates a beauty shop; and the stone industry has claimed many, among whom are George Rainbolt. John Conner, Charley Schooley and George Peyton. To these, the years are bringing prosperity. Mr. Standish. expressing regret that many members could not be present, mentioned Olive Brock, a mannequin in an exclusive New York shop; Joe Burkhart, a record-breaker in swimming; Rodman Huddelson, a U. S. air mail pilot; Taft Kern, the Citroen of China; Rachael Cor-don, studying voice in Paris; Lester Cole; detective, who is working on an important murder case; Mary Helen Quinn, who must fulfill an engagement with her stage company, now playing in New York City. “Our class officers have acquitted themselves nobly,” continued Mr. Standish. “The V ice-President, Kenneth Reath, has just finished the construction of one of the largest bridges ever built in this country. Mary Griffin was once our secretary; now she heads the office force ol the Martin and Beyers Insurance Co., of which our own George Beyers is junior partner. Our treasurer, Donald Wallis, whom we all remember as one of tin most popular cut-ups B. II. S. ever had. has become a first degree humorist; now, people all over the United States arc enjoying him as we used to. “Some of our number are in foreign parts today. Everett Craig and Charles Conner are absorbed in an expedition toward Mars; Yank Terry, having proved himself the world’s champion pole-vaulter in the latest Olympic contest, remains in the old country; Frances Busse is today the wife of a German Count; Rector Lyon is travelling for business purposes in England and in France. “Many happy homes throughout the country are headed by Seniors of ‘29, among whom may he found Ida Menaugh, Louise Mitchell, Novella Silvers, Helen Fines, Mary Elizabeth Inman. Frances Kursner, P. Girdley and H. O’Brien. “Some few girls have preferred to devote their time to commercial work. Eva Craig, Elizabeth Smith, Lorene Quacken-bush, Kathryn Steurer and Lorene Runyan arc employed as stenographers in leading concerns, Oneita Jewell is private secretary to our Governor, and Frances Hendricks is a vital part of the office force at the B. II. S. Administration Building. “Our class is represented in a score of other occupations that differ widely in Page 74 character. Perhaps politics is one of tin most important. The position of Attorney-General of the I nited States is held today by l.ouis Krenke, who was always eminent in debating and oratory; two seats in the Mouse of Representatives are filled by Klsie Donaldson and Archibald Daugherty; and political organizations of women, throughout the state are well acquainted with Martha lleitger. “Leonard Peyton, whom we remember as an able wrestler, is soon to be made a colonel in the U. S. Army. “Two of the foremost architects of the dav is k. Burrell and G. Henderson. “Three of our number have entered the teaching profession. Caroline McLeod is physical training instructor at an exclusive girl’s school in the East; Louis Wood is professor of psychology at Wabash College; and Evelyn Houston is teaching public speaking at Shortridge High School, Indianapolis. “Medical work has claimed iolet Davis as a nurse at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. “Perhaps you have novel, ‘Carton Moore, cross. This is his third production within ten years. “Kathleen Hodges is foreign buyer for a Louisville firm. “Ikerd and Wilson.” “William Waldron has developed into a lirst-rate bandmaster; Marie Hawk, a daring aviatrix; and Donald Cameron, one of the best of radio-announcers. “Out of the West came an appeal to Harold Thomason, who now owns a great ranch in Texas. Ray Foster is one of the overseers. 'That indomitable floor-guard, Ernest Todd, has become basketball coach at Martinsville. “Bonnie Henderson and Bessie I.ake have followed the path of the needle. The former is a skilled dressmaker and designer; the other, a much-copied milliner. “Paul Myers and Frances O’Connell are fast becoming screen favorites. “Recently a patent on gooseberrv-stemmers was granted to Harry Hart. “Even in canary breeding, our class is represented; tin finest singers can In ob- read the latest by Harold or- tained from Georgia Leonard’s aviary. “A study of tin fine arts is the chosen pursuit of some. Mary Hitchcock and Martha Campbell, having completed their studies abroad are now setting up studios of their own in this country. We shall soon see the fruit of their efforts. “To music we now turn our attention; you shall hear for yourselves four of our most accomplished artists. Here the speaker paused, 'flu celebrated priina donna, Margaret Hegwood, accompanied by Mildred Still, sang beautifully for her audience. She was encored again and again, with enthusiastic applause; then William Andrews and John Newkirk, who have studied violin together for years made their way to the end of the room, and played some exceptional compositions of their own. Mr. Standish again took the floor. “We are indeed proud to have heard such music tonight from our own classmates.” lie said. “We are glad to think of the many worth while positions we have gained, and of the honor such positions reflect on Bedford High School. “We have with us this evening one who never failed to encourage us during our most difficult hours; who never criticised, but rather offered helpful suggestions; who worked hard in order that our Senior projects might succeed — our beloved teacher and sponsor. Miss Mitchusson.” Miss Mitchusson was so proud and happy that she was unable to do more than to stand and smile her thoughts. There was a storm of cheering as she sat down. The toastmaster began again. “Through all tin years to come, the memory of this friend and teacher, who has meant so much to us, both grammatically and inspirationally, will help us to meet our problems more bravely and more confidently. We owe you a great debt. Miss Mitchusson. “This may not In our last chance of meeting together. I ct us hope that it is not. It seems to me that a fitting close for this evening would be the repetition of our class song. Many guests lingered long to talk over old friendships and old experiences.

THE DEBATING LEAGUE It is through the experience offered by the Debating League that Bedford High School ever lias ready new forensic stars to (ill the shoes of the graduates. This year’s Debating League is sponsored by Miss Emery. Its officers are: Mary Alice Eckley, President; Mildred Kern, Vice-President; and Wayne Baker, Secretary. The League is divided into twelve teams, whose names and captains arc: The Roosevelt, Frances Martin; the Otis. Harry Colvin; the Beveridge. Kathryn Stcurer; the Jefferson. Virginia Jones; the Webster. Harriet Jenkin; the Calhoun, Wayne Baker; the Wilson. Mary Alice Eckley; the Henry, Billy Slteetz; the Douglas. Thomas Holland; the Bryan, Sarah Myers; the Adams, Billy Kingman; the Clay, Kenneth Fodrill. Each captain is assigned a team of comparatively equal ability. The schedule consists of three debates for each team, followed by a tournament in which the groups who have won the most decisions participate. The winner receives a cup. Members of the faculty and of the varsity debate squad serve as judges. I heir criticisms and talks go far in shaping the technique of the debaters. Timely topics are chosen for debate subjects and unusual interest is shown in the activity. CAPTAINS Page 9i Mann. Schoolfield, Griffin. Menaugh. Field , Stalker. Richardson. Johnston. Miss Terre.

Kdler (absent) GIRLS COUNCIL The members of the Girls Council co-operate with the Boy Sponsors in acting as an advisory council to the students on all matters of law and government. They are continually working for the betterment of Bedford High and to further the spirit of equality among the students. The group has most assuredly lived up to its standard this year hv organizing the Booster Club composed of all student season-ticket holders, who are distinguished by red and white berets in the shape of a basketball. Their purpose is to increase enthusiasm, interest and sportsmanship in all activities of the school. The Girls Council has also established a girl’s rest room, located on the second floor in room 51. They have neatly furnished this through a series of bake sales, conducted by the girls of each class in school. The organization has redecorated the trophy room in an attractive manner and it is now open certain periods each day with a member of one of the governing bodies in charge, to answer any questions visitors might wish to ask. This is one of the first experiments in student government introduced into Bedford High School and so far it has accomplished much and has proved most successful. SENIORS OF THE COUNCIL Page 94 'Jr. Julian. Kowc. Schmidt, Stuckey, Standish. Kruclitcn. Kcatli, Cuddy, Fender, Miller. Krenke HOY SPONSORS This group is a powerful and highly efficient organization of the school. The organzation is made up of twelve hoys of clean character, chosen from the student body by the faculty and the hoy students themselves. Every Wednesday morning these hoys meet in the library with ther faculty advisor, .Mr. Julian, and discuss the problems with which they deal. These concern chiefly the morale of the hoy students, and the means of enforcing among the hoys standards of clean living and respect for the school. An all hoys meeting is held once a month under the auspices of the Sponsors. Musical programs, snappy lectures, group singing and free-for-all discussions, are features of these meetings which go far in creating a wholesome spirit of unity among the students. 'I lie Sponsors have charge of a study hall during one period each day besides helping in other ways with school supervision. SENIOR SPONSORS i - ,o THE LITERARY CLUB The Literary Club, an organization composed of those students interested in the study of different types of literature, was introduced into our school in 1922. The club thus far has been composed only of girls, although boys desiring this kind of activity are eligible to membership. .Meetings are held on the fourth Thursday in each month. The club has chosen for the season's work, reviews of modern novels, short stories, and poetry. Each member is required to report on some novel during the year as well as being prepared to answer the roll call each time with some current topic. This scheme has proven unusually interesting as well as educational. During the year, the Misses Brooks and Emery gave valuable informational talks on their experiences while abroad. Miss Gunn, in an interesting manner, made book reviews to the club. Several social functions were held, the outstanding ones at Christinas, at which time gifts were exchanged, and an out-of-door social in the spring. The officers of the club are: President, Mary Alice Eckley; Vice-President, Sarah Myers; Secretary-Treasurer, Hhca Dawn Fields; with Miss Durrenberger as sponsor. OFFICERS I'age 96 L THE HISTORY CLUB The History Club, sponsored by Miss M. Stockberger and Miss Fricdley, represents those of the school who are historically inclined, and endeavors to promote a better understanding of this subject. This year the club has been enabled to do more than ever before due to the increased membership and it has had a full share in all school activities. The organization started a “Who’s Who in Lawrence County,” a mimeographed copy of which will be given to each member. The “Who's Who committee consists of Clifford Reeves, chairman, assisted by Esther Fields, Lorene Quackenbush, and Wayne Baker. Many excellent programs, such as: Slides on Indiana’s History, a talk by Mr. Guernsey, a discussion of the Sesqui-Centennial at Vincennes, and Miss Friedleys narration of her trip cast last summer have been enjoyed throughout the year. The officiers of this club arc Louis Krenke, President; Fred Cuddy, Vice-President; Lois Walcott, Secretary; and Kenneth Beiriger, Treasurer. “GENERAL STAFF '« � • 97 THE LATIN CLUB Membership in the S. I . Q. R. (Senalus Populus Que Romanus), llie Latin Club of Bedford High School, has increased to such an extent that plans are now being considered for dividing the club. During the first semester there were ninety members and at the beginning of the next term twenty new names were added to the list. Miss Painter is sponsor of the organization and she is assisted by the other teachers in the I.atin Department, Miss Roberts and Miss Maloti. The objects of this club are to promote an interest in various phases of Latin study outside of the regular high school curriculum as well as to afford an opportunity for acquiring a knowledge of Latin culture. The monthly programs deal with various phases of Roman life and customs together with their connection with the world of today. Once each year in place of the regular program a get-together party and fun-fest is held. The officers this year are as follows: Consul (President) Libia Marchetti. Praetor (Chairman of Program Committee) Jane Mitchell. Quaestor (Treasurer) Aaron Johnson. Censor (Secretary) Helen Pentzer. Aedilc (Chairman of Social Committee) Mildrel Capshaw. MAGISTRATUS Page 98 LE CIRCLE FRANCAIS Only through close contact with all things pertaining to a subject, is a subject rightly interpreted and understood. Thus be Circle Francais is an instrument through which French students may enjoy and appreciate French. Various programs have interested the group. At the November meeting Miss Brooks discussed her European trip; on December 10 the authors Hugo, Dumas, Racine, De Vigny, and Lamartime were discussed; and Francis Hatfield, Claude Smidt. and Kathleen Cornwall gave special numbers at the February meeting. A French play was given in the March meeting, and Miss Craigie Gunn reviewed Emil Ludwig’s “Napoleon” before the assembled members in April. Fun must mingle with seriousness, and to relieve the monotony a Pot Luck Supper was given January 11, followed by the climaxing picnic dinner May 26. 'I'lie officers for this year were Kathleen Cornwell. President; Mary Jones, Vice-President; Margaret McPike, Secretary; and Hazel Anderson, Treasurer. I.F.S OFFICERS Page 99 THE GIRL RESERVE The Girl Reserve, which formerly included girls from all grades in the High School, has been divided this year. It now consists of tin girls in the ninth and tenth grades only. The purpose of this organization is to further friendly relations among the girls, and to help in school and community projects. When a girl becomes a member, she strives to face life squarely, to he a friend to every one, and to give her best in the service of Cod. This club meets twice each month. The first meeting is a business meeting, with a program. The second is a social gathering. Some of the social functions held this year were; a Halowe’en party, a party welcoming tin new girls, both in the fall and at the beginning of the second semester, a program during Mother's Week, and a Valentine party. The organization has various ways of procuring money. However, the check room, which is operated during basketball games is one of their chief sources of obtaining funds. The officers are Martha Mann, President; Mary Griffin, Vice-President; Marjory Stalker, Secretary; and Evelyn Houston, Treasurer. Miss .Newsom is sponsor. THESE DIRECT THE G. It'S. i — THE BLUE TRIANGLE The Blue Triangle is an organization including girls of the eleventh and twelfth grades. This club, a new one in Bedford High School, is a division of the National Girl Reserve organization. It was created I ecausc it was not possible to work with so many members as were formerly in the group. The Girls of the Blue Triangle are eager to discover new things, have good times, do something worth while, make real friends, and learn more about God in His world. This club meets twice each month. One of these meetings is a business program and the other is a social gathering. These meetings are intended to help a girl “grow to be” the finest person she can become in body, mind and spirit. Among the other activities of the group held during the year, are candle lighting services, an Easter program, a farewell to tin seniors and helping in various community projects. The same girls have served as officers both for the Girl Reserve and Blue I riangle. l)VISORY COUNCIL 1‘nge 101 I K. OF I). B. Willi only a score of old members remaining, the Knights of the Drawing Board, during the opening meeting, elected Joseph Burkhart. President; Bussell (.hilds, Vice-President, and Herbert Parham, Secretary-Treasurer. Led by Mr. Crandall, their new sponsor, the boys arranged a fine program. Many interesting talks were given by prominent business men of the city. The social function, a Hallowe’en party, was enjoyed at Camp Bedford, where Ernest Todd carried away the honors in the treasure hunt, the feature stunt of the evening. The K. of D. B. is an organization through which the Stone Department endeavors to assume its share of the school activities. Every year many graduating students of Bedford High School are awarded a stone diploma, which signifies that they have completed a course of training in the stone department that includes stone drafting, lathe, planing, and some stone carving or cutting and are fit candidates for apprenticeship in the local mills. BOSSES HI-Y CLUB The Hi- movement among the high schools of America grew out of a need felt by the boys who desired to stand for high ideals, and to rally against those traits which are undesirable. They arc continually striving for superior standards of living and each member is required to pledge himself to live a clean personal and social life of unselfish service in his community. As their slogan they sponsor the 1 C's; Clean Sport, Clean Speech, Clean Scholarship, and Clean Living. fhe organization forms codes, rules, and principles of living for their fellow-students to abide by in order to enable each boy to become a valuable citizen and a power in his country. Under the leadership of Mr. Stuckey the club has grown to be recognized as one of the outstanding activities in B. H. S. Students belonging to Hi-Y are Cuddy, I . Jacobs, Plummer, Stuckey, I). Wallis, R. Wallis, Beiriger, De Pierre, Standish, Cameron, Becker, C. Reeves, Girdley, Holland, Frasier, Hatfield, Blackburn, McDonald, M. Jacobs, Bowden, Woolery, W. Reeves. o e INNER CIRCLE Pager 103 O • THE JOURNALISM CLASS THE STONE CITY “STUDENT” The Stone City “Student” of 1927-1928 won honorable mention in the State contest and third class honor rating in the National contest for High School papers. In an attempt to raise this rating, the 1928-1929 stall has made several changes in the form of the “Student. column of sport comment has been added. A State and National news comment column has also been added. Editorials have been emphasized by increased space and larger type. New types of headlines have been developed.

To some, the creating of a year-hook that will bring laud and honor to its school and staff seems a trivial task, hut to the anxious editor and sponsor who needs must make haste in procuring pictures or hurrying the delinquent editors, the situation is decidedly different. Then there is also the puzzled business manager who endeavors to make ends meet by soliciting a sufficient number of advertisements and subscriptions. Members of the staff of ’29 are: Evelyn Houston.

HOUSTON McFADDEN STANDISH o THE ORCHESTRA One of the largest and most highly appreciated organizations in the school is the orchestra. An outstanding event this year was the participation of four Seniors who have so ably filled their places in the music department for four years, in the all-state High School Band which played before the October Session of the Indiana State Teacher’s Association. Frances Armstrong, trombone; Miles Standish, cornet; Charles Kramer, bass, and Louis Krenke, piccolo, made the trip as these students are also leaders in the High School Orchestra, this honor reflects upon both organizations. They have furnished entertainment throughout the year for school and soeial functions. Many dreary mornings have been made delightful by selections from the orchestra. They also play in both the High School and Junior High musical productions. They are not only in great demand for the school but among the citizens and civic organizations as well. Several orchestra members also played at the Elks Memorial Day Service. SENIOR MEMBERS zrGSJp. Ylfl. - Page IC6 COUNTY WINNERS LATIN CONTEST To awaken an interest in Latin, that bane of High School students, the Latin con. test was devised, so that students who excel in this subject may enter inter-school competition. Bedford was represented by eleven students in the county contest, from which Wayne Fender, Wilma Brazzell, Edna Williams, Dillard Little, Margaret Shall' and Granger Smith emerged victorious. The next step was the district meet, held at West Baden, March 23. Here Bedford failed to obtain a first place, but Wilma Brazzell and Edna W illiams took second and third, respectively in Division IA, while Wayne Fender placed second in Division IVA. Though failing to enter state competition, each contestant deserves praise of the entire student body. Few indeed, are the High School students having the initiative and unfailing energy necessary to carry them through weeks of the most difficult drill work. .Misses Painter and Roberts, coaches for the Latin contestants always exert every effort that their proteges may he up to the usual standard of Bedford High School.

Each semester those enrolled in the course receive one-half credit. Members of the club wear a smart uniform of dark blue crepe material with white collars and cuffs. The revenue secured from candy sales during the hesketball season finances the entire music department of the school. The combined organization of boys amt girls produces an opera each year. “Lelawala” by Chas. Wakefield Cad man was successfully given Iasi year under the direction of Misses Bixlcr and Kellams.

Each year there are several outstanding events sponsored by the organization, one of them being the sending of a group of four students to an all-state chorus which sings in Indianapolis at the State Teachers Association. Those taking part this year were Mildred Still, Marjorie Stalker, Leland Girdley and Donald Wallis. A boys quartet has also been created from this group and assists in entertaining as well as adding novelty to the programs of the songsters.

THE QUARTET ’tige 109 FIRST SKMESTER HONOR ROI.I. OUR SCHOLASTIC STANDING Bedford High School stands second to none in scholarship. Proud are we of our state champion year-books, our prize winning Stone City “Student,” our famous wrestlers, our choice-of-Hoosierdom Iveymen, our twice champion debating team. But doubly proud are we that we sacrifice not a grade in order to win in all these lines of endeavor. Our school representatives stand notches ahead of their foeman when comparison is made on a basis of grades. Not only school representatives, but the entire student body excel in scholarship. In the past year we have ranged from 56 to 107 in numbers on the Honor Roll. This means that of an enrollment of 700, from 5% to 12v succeed in making no less than three A’s on full time subjects, with no C’s. There are a few more girls than boys on this honor roll list, although the enrollment is fairly evenly divided. Whether this indicates that the girls carry easier subjects, or have a higher mentality, or simply study more, we do not know, but wo have a suspicion that the latter is true. There must be a wide range in the difficulty of subjects, as the accompanying graph shows, or the difference rests with the quality of the students enrolled in the different subjects. The percentage of failures or conditions in the school checks with accepted standards. It is not a desire of the school to set the passing mark too low, thereby passing on into responsibilities, individuals who have not the training that should bespeak the High School graduate. Bedford High School has a high rating in the estimation of colleges of our country, the graduate of B. II. S. being marked for responsibilities and honors on every Page 110 GRAPH SHOWING RELATIVE GRADES GIVEN BY VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS OF BHS KEY FIGURES ARE PERCENTAGES OF TOTAL ENROLLMENT IN GWEN SUBJECT ------ de line (all below is) • =c line Cu m)- b lwe (« __________■ -A UNF.

The Board, Superintendent, Principal, Teachers, Students, and community take great pride in the fact that we stress scholastic work in Bedford High School preserving a pleasing balance between curricular and extra-curricular activities. Our courses of study are broad. We strive to lit not only the hoy or girl who will go to college, hut also the great majority to whom High School is their last schooling. Thus, besides a general course we have a Stone Course, a Domestic Arts Course, a Building Trades Course, and a course leading to a Commercial Diploma. Our students are absorbed largely into the local industries and succeed in a marvelous degree. INK HONOR ROLL FIRST SEMESTER Roll Room 27: Hilly Andrews, Naomi Black.

League consists of Bedford, Martinsville, Seymour and Washington. in this, the fifth year of its existence. Bedford led with four victories and two defeats while Martinsville and Seymour tied for second place by winning three and losing three debates. The negative team, composed of Miles Standish, Robert Munn. Fred Cuddy, with Kenneth Beiriger, alternate, has won all three of its debates. This is the second time in two years that Miles and Fred have been members of an undefeated negative squad. Billy Andrews, Louis Krenke, Granger Smith, ami Thomas Holland, alternate, were the members of the affirmative squad which defeated Washington and lost to Seymour and Martinsville by narrow margins. Billy Andrews, Miles Standish, Louis Krenke, Fred Cuddy, and Kenneth Beiriger are ail Seniors, leaving, as the nucleus of the 1929-1930 squad, Granger Smith, Thomas Holland and Robert Munn. The subject for this year's arguments was: Resolved, that Congress should enact uniform marriage and divorce laws. •age 112 GIRLS DEBATE TEAM 'Phis marks the third consecutive year that Bedford High School has enrolled in its list of activities a girl's debate team. The annual debate was held at Short-ridge High School with the question; Resolved: That the United States should protect by armed force property, private and public, invested in foreign countries. The Caleb .Mills Hall of the new Shortridge building was the scene of the orations. Our team, coached by Miss Gunn, and composed of Ruth Corbin, Mary Frances Johnston, Rachel Gordon, and Sarah Myers, alternate, was delightfully entertained with a luncheon at the Spink Arms Hotel by Mr. Otto, and his team preceding the “matching of wits. Although the negative was nobly defended, the decision was rendered in favor of Shortridge. It is the hvspe of those interested in Girls' Debating in a few years to form a league from which several teams may be chosen to compete with various schools other than Shortridge in this line of activity. I‘age 113 COMMERCE CLUB The Commerce Club is composed of students who expect to enter the business world. It exists for the purpose of bringing the students into closer contact with this type of work. The (dub meets on the third Thursday of each month with the two commercial teachers, Miss Dodt and Miss G. Stockberger as the sponsors. The Club’s fund this year sent the Commercial teams quaifying to the Commercial contest. Various programs were offered during the year. Those outstanding were an old-fashioned spelling bee. Mary Josephine Green winning first place over the hundred and two other members; and a one act comedy, the scene taking place in a business office. Many helpful talks were given by the leading business men of the city to the commercial students, which proved most beneficial in shaping their business careers. Several outstanding social events were held during the year, only members having the privilege to attend. The officers of the organization are: President. Helen Heitger; Vice-President. Martha CamplH-ll; Secretary-Treasurer. Robert Munn. THE MANAGERS Page 114 QUILL AND SCROLL Quill and Scroll” is an inactive organization in that it does not have meetings or officers.

TWO EDITORS Page 115 © SHORTHAND NIGHT SCHOOL Night School was introduced into Bedford High in 1916 by our former superintendent, E. W. Montgomery. After having been discontinued during the war, it was reorganized in 1924 and has so developed since as to offer this year five completely different subjects which arc taught in eight separate classes. The Home Economics Class is ably directed by Miss Tcarc. a member of the B. H. S. faculty and dean of girls. Its aim is to enlighten those enrolled on lsetter methods of housekeeping and home management. The Commercial Courses arc always popular and enroll large numbers of students. A waiting list in typewriting classes is created each year. This past season Mitchell ami several surrounding towns were represented in these courses. Miss Dodt, Head of the Commercial Department, offers three subjects each year: Shorthand. Bookkeeping and two classes in Typewriting. Miss Dodt is assisted by Miss Geraldine Stockbcrgcr. THE DISPLAY OF THE SEWING CLASS MODELING Woodworking lias proved lo l c a popular course in night school and is under the supervision of Mr. Stuckey, our Manual Training instructor. Modeling, an art that can lie put into practical use in Bedford's stone industry is taught by Mr. Correll. an eminent citizen of Bedford, and an expert at his trade. A popular course in the night school curriculum is stone drafting. Because of the large enrollments, there arc four classes, elementary, directed by Mr. Crandall, intermediate, with Mr. Metcalf as supervisor, and advanced, with Mr. Kuhles as instructor. An overflow in the advanced class is ably taken care of by Mr. Pearson. The night school opens each fall shortly after the opening of day school. It is open to the public in general, only students of the day school not having the privilege to attend. An annual community feature is the exhibition on patron's day of the night school's work. These exhibits advertise the night school and they will go far in increasing its attendance. Thus it benefits the entire community. ONE OF THE DRAFTING CLASSES Page 117 “HAY FEVER’’ “Hay Fever,” a clever comedy, was presented by Bedford High School's outstanding dramatic students on March 7, in the High School Auditorium. They were splendidly coached by Miss Georgia Mitchusson, who was ably assisted by Miss Helen Woolery. The B. H. S. Orchestra under the direction of Miss Bixler played charmingly throughout the evening. The scenes were laid in the living room of the Bliss family in Cookham, Kngland. The plot centered around the Bliss family, temperamental to the extreme; the mother a former actress with the youth urge, the father a writer; the daughter Sorel and son Simon fitting examples of their temperamental parents. Each has invited a friend for the week end, and with only the Japanese room available for a guest chamber trying times ensue. When the guests arrive many enjoyable complications are created. In all the excitement the admirers change roles and inconsistencies of the Bliss family are appalling to the guests. In one of the biggest family rows which took place one Sunday morning, the guests, unobserved in the heat of the battle, steal away. As is the rule after the storm, calm and peace reign supreme in the Bliss family. The entire cast showed an unusually fine stage presence and were able to carry off their parts most acceptably. The personnel was as follows: THE FAMILY Judith Bliss ..............................Martha Manx David Bliss ...............................John Newkirk Sorel Bliss................................Florence Brexxox Simon Bliss ...............................Donald Wallis THE MAID Clara ....................................Kaciiel Gordon THE GUESTS Myra Arundel ..........................

Mary Helen Quinn Pete Girdlev Kenneth Bkirincer Lois Wolcott Page 118 THE “PIRATES OF PENZANCE” The “Pirates of Penzance ’ one of the famous Gilbert and Sullivan operas, was presented by the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs on April 12. This was by far the most prententious musical production ever attempted in our school. With one exception the principal roles were sung by high school students. The beauty of the music as revealed through arias, the choruses and orchestration, together with the rollicking wit and humor of the plot made it an outstanding production. The opera is a satire on English society of the Victorian age. 'Phis is brought out by the tender-hearted pirates, who will never molest an orphan; the “lion-hearted” police; overly modest maidens; young Frederick, who was bound as an apprentice to a pirate instead of a pilot, when lie was a child, owing to the stupidity of Ruth, his nursery maid, who goes with him and becomes a “piratical maid of all works;” the major-general, a puppet-like exponent of the British army. The setting for the first act was the pirates lair along a rooky seashore. The second act took place in a ruined chapel. The elaborate stage sets were constructed by the Manual Training Department and painted by the Art Department. The attractive costumes were designed and executed by MissTeare and tin- Sewing Department. Miss Helen Martin directed the production and was assisted by Miss Chlotical Bixler. The cast was composed of the following people: Major-General Stanley.............................. Pirate King ....................................... Samuel (iiis Lieutenant) .......................... Frederick (the Pirate Apprentice).................. Sergeant of Police ................................ Mabel (General Stanley’s Daughter).,............... Edith (General Stanley’s Daughter).............. Kate (General Stanley’s Daughter).............. Isobcl (General Stanley’s Daughter)..............

James McFadden and Kathryn Tofaute reaped their honors in 1928. James won second place in 1928 South Central contest in Oratory. His subject was a peace discussion, ‘The Fifth Horseman. Kathryn Tofaute won tin silver medal for winning second place in the South Central contest in Readng on ‘The Fleet Goes By. These two very active and popular members of Bedford High had very keen competition. Six other schools were represented at Linton, the verbal battle being a fight to the finish. Public Discussion of 1929 was won by Fred Cuddy, an able lad and a well known representative of our school. The local discussion of “America's Responsibility for World Peace” was held in March in the school auditorium. We are backing Fred to continue through the district and state contests. Our 1929 South Central prospects are many—“The Spirit of Bedford High School.” I nusual interest is being shown. Bedford is to be favored by holding South Central within her walls. There are many local contestants. Louis Krenke, Miles Standish, and Archibald Daugherty are entering the field for Oratory. Mary Frances Johnson, Morris Jacobs, and Violet Nordberg have entered their names for Beading. We wish them all the best of luck. The best one always wins. In addition to the records made, honor should be bestowed upon those who spent their tireless efforts in helping Bedford build her “Hall of Fame” but who did not make the grade. KRENKE Louis Krenke has advanced to the zone or regional contest as our representative in the National Oratorical Contest. STALKER STANDISH CUDDY KRENKE THE OLD-ENGLISH “B” For those who excel in Oratory, Debating, Reading, Latin Contests, Music Memory Contests, Orchestra, Art, or General Scholastics, Bedford High School reserves the singular honor of the old English B . This award is, perhaps, the most distinctive honor given by the school and students wearing the emblem are the “cream of the crop.” Marjorie Stalker, this year the only girl to wear the letter, is a veteran winner of Latin contests and by this means has won three letters since entering B. H. S. Marjorie is, of course, an honor roll student. Fred Cuddy won his “B” in varsity debating. He is, moreover, editor of the school paper and president of several organizations. Louis Krenke is another varsity debater, president of the History Club and member of several exclusive school organizations. Louis is also an essayist and musician. The Senior Class President, Miles Standish is also a wearer of the old English “B”, winning it in varsity debating.

S., in which unusual interest is taken as is shown by the large enrollment. The leagues are composed of sixteen teams which play in two groups. Light of these play in one tournament, and the other eight in another. At the end of the season, the team winning the most games from both divisions receives a loving cup for the year’s work. The winner, this year was decided after a game played by teams one and fifteen who had tied in winning the greatest number of games. The former emerged victorious. The groups consisted of Josephine Blackwell. Ilene Sherrill, Helen Freeman, Geneva Todd, Helen McAfee, and Mary Jane right. The Runners-up were Helen Pentzer, Freeda Clark, Zora Hayes, Mildred Capshaw, Mildred Bunn and Gladys Higgins. Throughout the season, games are scheduled on Monday and Wednesday of every other week. o' r BOYS’ LEAGUES Boys’ Leagues have been organized for the purpose of developing material for the first and second teams as well as serving as a recreation for a large number of the boys. This organization is sponsored by Mr. Kay, Mr. Banta, ami Mr. Turmail, and is one of the most active departments in B. H. S. The leagues are divided into two groups; the Giants, composed of eight teams, and the Midgets, made up of four. Each team has approximately eight to twelve players and the schedule is so arranged that each team of the giant group should meet the remaining seven and each team of the midgets should meet the other three. At the end of the year a silver loving cup with the names of the players of the winning team engraved on it, is awarded to the captain, who in turn presents it to the High School to be placed in the trophy room. Team F won the championship of the giant division by winning 12 out of 11 games to team H's 11. Team F has no captain and is composed of L. Girdley, K. Foddrill, E. Liva, and 0. Wilson as forwards; J. Green, R. Sipes, W. Stultz. centers; R. Woolerv and B. Jenkins as guards. Team 7. is champion of the midget division and their line-up is R. Griggs, R. Davis, forwards; W. Horn, G. McPike, centers; H. Lemons, I). Fraser. J. Gridin. and V. Robbins guards. CAPT. REATH MILLER TODD THE SEASON The 1928-29 basketball regime opened with Mitchell as opponents of the red and white. In our initial battle Mr. Ivey used every man to give the townspeople a facsimile of what we had to depend on when our first line of defense crumpled. With all the state patiently waiting for the outcome, Bedford was doomed to put the “sleepers” on Martinsville. Payne showed best for our reserves by garnishing six points. Self, seen by basketball fans for the second time this season came through for the winning tally with a super-follow-in. Northern papers proclaimed our next opponents as tin “Berries,” but they must have soured on the way down, Bedford having little trouble pushing over l.ogansport. Again the second string went on review, playing more than half of the game with Washington to wallop them badly. Vincennes took it on the chin like good scouts, striving to hinder our boys from increasing tin gap between the two scores. Crawfordsville presented us with a nice scare for awhile but some Bedford mother’s favorite son soon found the range and pulled us out of danger. Influenza hit the ball team hard at this time, although they were still managing to stay on two feet. The doctor, examining them before train time, prohibited five from making the trip, leaving only six men to tackle Bloomington. Kruchten and Todd were stopping them while Lewis and others were shooting em. Seymour was next in line and the only thing unusual was that they were yelling as hard outside as they were inside. Seats were as scarce as ice cream cones in Alaska. We were bound to be defeated sometime and when our team loses, it really does. They didn’t try to fool anyone. Franklin was hoding a seventeen point lead when it was time to go home. .Next was the famed Columbus. They had wiped up everything they had played by huge scores. But to start the year as it should he, we always do things correctly. Miller, our all-state forward, swung into action and played the sweetest ball ever seen this season, being backed up splendidly by superb passing from his team-mates. I'tipe 127 SELF KRUCHTEN SCHMIDT Lillie has been said of our captain, Heath, but his praise conies with the Muncie game. Muncie, last year's champions, brought to Bedford another “crack” team that certainly played up to its reputation. When the final gun was fired, the curtain dropped on the finest exhibition of basketball ever seen on the local hardwood. This game was one of the kind every one enjoys, the kind that a sportsman would call beautiful. Both teams played fast and aggressive with clock-like precision and lastly —clean. Heath proved why his name is preceded by “captain.” He feinted, dribbled, followed-up and fed perfect passes to our forwards consistently, who, in turn exchanged them for baskets. The subs again relieved the regulars early in the Mitchell and Marion games and they were sent into the Greencastle game but were soon exchanged for the regulars when Greencastle started a rally and gave Bedford a genuine scare. Friddle brought a rejuvenated team here for our second contests with the Hatchets and with some difficulty, we defeated them four points. The day following, we journeyed to Washington to win the blind tourney hut were completely routed. W e lost to Washington as well as our ancient rivals, Martinsville. Too much basketball was acclaimed to be the cause. Next, Bloomington was engaged with all our regulars participating—enough said! Revenge is sweet and the Bedford team really goes for it. Franklin, our former stumbling block, was taken for twenty points. The season’s schedule was topped off with Hichmond, high honors going to Schmidt for his last field goal of the season. The Sectional Tourney was more or less uninteresting except for our angel-making Mitchell game. We met Salem first in the regional and that was that. But Seymour wanted to ride on street cars and see Charlie Davis just as much, if not more, than our boys, for at half time we were trailng 15 to 3. The red and white warriors started the old rally and with only a few minutes to go. Wells broke in and scored four points to win the biggest thriller of our new gym’s history. Page 123 All-sot for the Big Tournament. For the fourth time of the year we met Martinsville. The game was an overtime with Terry playing a stellar part, to boost Bedford by tin Arlesians 31-29. It was one of the most heady and spectacular games of the tourney (another angel-maker.) Saturday morning we failed to pull by Horace Mann of Gary, but true to the Bedford spirit and tradition, every boy was lighting till the gun. Thus closed one of the most interesting chapters in the annals of Bedford High School basketball. Never in the history of Bedford High School has such a loyal squad followed their coach as this year. Not a whilT of dissension, not a particle of “grand-stand ’ has marred their play. Captain Kenny Reath and Sammy Miller are two of the best forwards in the state. Consistent in training, thinkers, gentlemen, they have won a place in the hearts of all who have seen them play. For ‘go-getters’ we have yet to see any ahead of Herb Self and Ernie Todd. Self’s drive at the tip-off and under the basket always netted points. Our only regret is that we didn’t have him sooner. Ernie’s progress at floor-guard was well known over the state even last year. He was a consistent lighter and a bulwark of defense. Few forwards could get past Todd. And if they did—there was Kruchten—always. Taking the tip at crucial times, getting back under the basket for the ball, moving out for offensive plays—Kruchten has added to the reputation of Bedford back-guards. And the subs! Who can forget Wells or Payne or Terry—men who were pinch-hitters, who sat on the bench until B. II. S. needed them and then came through? Then there was Schmidt, our tall lad with the dead-eye for baskets. Through many seasons he consistently trained and fought. Not a man on the squad had better morale. Book and Lewis, our “babies”, have determined to play in the final game at the Butler Field House someday! ‘Nuf Sed. I hat’s the spirit of B. H. S. So here we have the straightest thinking, most polished, best looking, smoothest running as well as one of the most successful teams Bedford has ever had. TER It Y PAYNE WELLS Page 129 COACH IVEY The following clippings from Mary K. Plummer's column. “Follow-Ups , in “The Bedford Daily Times' gives the attitude of all Bedford toward our much-admired Charles K. Ivey: Me believes very firmly in solid muscles, aggressive habits, and the ability to meet another team's offense as hard as it comes. By watching Charles at practice, and by hearing him talk once in a while, we have come to understand not only some of the tilings he believes, but. in a fashion, the man himself. • • • • Charles is one clean, straight-hitting, alert gentleman. nd because a coach impresses his boys indelibly, with his own habits and his mode of thinking. Charlie's boys stand a fine chance of becoming the same thing. ♦ ♦ • • Coleman Griffith says. “A coach's men offer perpetual proof of success of the man who is their coach. • • • • In other words, “if you would see Ivey's monument, look about you at Ivey's team. • • • • Athletes, it is said, will quit a really successful season with regret, because the successful coach has taught them to love competition for the immediate rewards in it. • • • • They will leave convinced of the reasonableness of training: very much in love with fine health ami great skill: definitely sold on the idea of team-play and good sportsmanship. • • • • Charles conveys this idea. • • • • Sometimes one's ideal is here, and ones performance on a different plane entirely. Not so with Cha-rulz. He never keys a team. As far as we have seen, he relies on a consistent fighting frame of mind and on skill gained in practice sessions rather than on the business of inspiring or angering bis boys for a particular opponent. • • • • We are staunch in the belief that Ivey is one of the state's outstanding developers of morale. s a rule his men “keep heart . They have mental pep. • • • • For instance, the ability to subordinate one's personal pride and one's desire for ap- plaude to the team as a whole is one of the sterner marks of true morale. • • • • Bui the coach who develops morale had to furnish a living example. To build it. he has first to live it. • • • • This is why Charlie is a good coach. • • • • Boys will never really learn what a coach wants them to until they see and feel virtues in him as a man. • • • • Well, here is a man who will be. tomorrow, what he is today: who will be. with Tom. what lie is with Harry: who will say. to your face, what he says to your back- This is Ivey.

Coach Held and Captain Hawkins have lead their team through a very successful year by winning all of their meets and in addition, by winning the state championship. Leonard Peyton, veteran wrestler, won third place in the state meet. 11c wrestles in the 155 pound hut was always ready to replace another, in a heavier class, when called upon. This is his last year with 15. 11. S., because of graduation. Clarence Hawkins, captain, has been on the 15. 11. S. wrestling team for four years and has won every dual meet in which he has participated. On previous years, he has been a state champion but this year he won second place in the state meet. George Bowden and Harry Blackburn are scientific grapplcrs. They wrestle in the 165 and 108 pound class, respectively. They, also, are lost by graduation. Olden Gillum and George Kainholt have had very successful seasons, both winning the majority of their bouts. They wrestle in the 115 and 108 pound class, respectfully. Gillum won first place in the state meet and George won second. Virgil Bolding is a very willing worker, and will prove to be a valuable man next year. He wrestles in tin 115 pound class. This year, although out of his class, Pryce Louden wrestled in the heavyweight class for 15. H. S. He has plenty of endurance and light and should make a fine record next year. Joe Beretta, a regular on the squad for tin first time, gives promise of great devolopment next season, lb won four out of seven bouts, in the 135 pound class. Robert Munn proved to be a steady reliable sub. Next year he will likely make a regular place. l a •age 132 GILLUM HOLDING LOUDEN BERETTA MUNN Ralph Allen represents B. H. S. in the 175 pound class. He has another year in which to participate and with proper training should make a winner for Coach Held’s squad. This year he tied for third place in the state-meet and received a bronze metal. Gordon Henderson is another one of Coach Held’s subs who is willing to work. He holds a good record in scholastic lines as well as in athletics. Walter Butterfield, midget of tin squad, made a fine record for himself this year by winning five out of seven bouts. He is another sceintific grappler and will be one of Coach Held's best men in the next two years. He won first place in the state-meet in the 1(H) pound class. Although Otis Armstrong did not get to prove his ability this year, he will probably be used next year. He wrestles in the 165 pound class. WRESTLING SCHEDULE—1929 Jan. 26.

And at once you would recognize the famib iar Indiana Limestone of which this structure is built. Or suppose you took an overnight trip to Chicago. Here again, amid the many interest' ing sights of famed Michigan Boulevard, you would see this stone from home—this time adorning the beautiful new 333 North Mich' igan Avenue Building. And should your journey be to Pittsburgh or Dallas—this stone from the hills of your home town would have preceded you. Pitts' burgh's new Koppers Building and Dallas's Magnolia Petroleum Co. Building are both built of Indiana Limestone from the quarries you know so well. In fact, wherever you go throughout the country people know about “Bedford stone. They know the phrase “from Bedford. And they know the prestige that Indiana Lime' stone has so well earned. You likewise are a Bedford product and have within you the power to bring fame to Bedford just as the stone from our quar' ries has done.
