Miss Belva Newsom and Miss lmo tene Chase, both members of the En flish de vartment stou on the stairs 5, w I for a bit of a chat on their way to and fro and up and down through the building. Miss Newsom is dean of girls, helps check attendance, is president of the Bedford Teachers Federation, sponsors Girl Reserve, supervises Junior Red Cross, and is a hall supervisor during lunch period. Miss Chase is publications supervisor. What one doesn't know about the students the other one does. The 're ood ones to kee on the ood side of. Never end Y 8 a sentence with a prepositionlj Members of the Pioneer staff attempt to picture, in one book, the entire year's activities of the entire school. Hampered by stand stock shortages, film shortages, illness, and unavoidable delays so numerous that the whole thing looked hopeless at times, they struggled on to the completion of this year's book. Publication work seems to be one long struggle. Mrs. Margaret Schroedle, Keeper of the Booksn, trains her student assistants to file, mark books, and seek out reference material for students and teachers. Library club members, serious and sober, study library problems, make reports, give book reviews, and go on picnics. Mrs. Schroedle directs this group, also. The Stone City Studentn, a bi-weekly publication, is the joy and despair of the journalism class. They struggle to meet dead-lines and long to make Ais. Seldom is either ambition achieved,-but they still struggle.

Literary club members directed by Miss Durrenberger ac- quaint themselves with classics old and new by giving book reports, biographical sketches and historical studies that bring the world of books into the world of facts. Scarlet and Purple, drama club of the school, sets high standards for membership and offers opportunity for much fun and work. Try-outs are held twice a year and the club meets regularly for study and practice. Miss Helen Gunn, member of the English department and director of dramatics, directs two hard working Thespians in preparation for one of the many plays given during the year. Girl Reserve, the high school branch of the Y. W. C. A., does much to encourage a high type of school conduct. Regular group and cabinet meetings do much to build up a spirit of unity among the members. Service work of many kinds and study groups make up the work of the club. Miss Myrtle Norman adds supervision of sales of War Sav- ings Stamps and Bonds to her many duties as an English teacher of Bedford High School. Student assistants makethe sales and purchase the bonds for student investors. Miss Georgie Mitchusson, head of English department and senior class sponsor, makes learning a pleasure by using records of songs and famous literary passages to dramatize the study of the classics that form the background of her Work. Students select the records and operate the machine.
