A senior s tribute to their beloved sponsor Miss Mitchusson loved, above all, the best in Literature and she imparted to each of us whom she had a new appreciation of the beautiful and the noble. Many times she asked me that I write a sonnet. Then, little did I know what subject I should use. Now I have written, this being but an humble attempt to fulfill that desire. SONNET Within me something stirred and said it knew; Then the dread answer that I heard came hard, A hammer on my heart, saying all was through. For moments, stunned I stood; until inward. Awakened senses told me I had lost a friend. How empty now would seem her desk and room Where she had giv ' n of herself, that we might bend Our meager ways toward higher thought and bloom. Oh, many things I had to talk about With her who sought the best and would understand; And now, those answers I shall seek without The pati-nt voice, the loving soul, the guiding hand. Yet the essence of her goodness is forever like a sun Whose shining r ; have pierced my soul, uniting us a, one. ; _ ' ■ i- f ■ ■ ■ — Ann Allen The Class votes for ' most anything Most What} Likeable Intelligent Musical Industrious Fun Attractive Sincere Bashful Dramatic Witty Talkative Sentimental Glamorous Mischievous Athletic Skilful Jolly Efficient Helpful Dignified Flirtatious Ambitious Vivacious Original Peppy Deliberate Considerate Dependable Likely to succeed Optimistic Pessimistic Composed Reserved Boy Campbell Fields Max Hyder Tommy Turner Max Hyder Campbell Fields Bill Abel Gene Inirun Jim Koetter Larry Byers Harvey Lanz Bob Jones Vic Wagner Bill Abel Jim Hitchcock Morris Root Max Hyder Kenny Hobson Gene Patton Tom Turner Bob Sohn Morris Root Bernie Grangier Campbell Fields Max Hyder Campbell Fields Keith Brown Jack Todd Jack Todd Max Hyder Dick Klatte Buil I oster Gene Stafford Gene Inm.m Girl Wyrt Medlock Ann Allen Barbara Colglazier Ann Allen Wyrt Medlock Betty Lou Taylor Norma Hawkins Mary Violet Wagner Harriet Tyree Wyrt Medlock Mary Leahy Norma Hawkins Betty Lou Taylor Ivy Mae Hackney Ann Allen Ann Allen Wyrt Medlock Adrienne Hitchcock Marian Armstrong Billy Secrest Sharon McCarrell Adrienne Hitchcock Barbara Bailey Phyl Thoroman Phyl Prow Myrt Wagoner Margie Liva Ann Allen Ann Allen Kate Johnson Patty Todd Nancy Lowry Maxine Crane Most What?

JUMP TOWN OFFICERS Armstrong ' , Kenneth Hobson, Miss Denny, Ian Templeton, Arch JUMP TOWN On Friday and Saturday evenings high school students are priv ' ' ' - ?o Jump Town where they may play to ping pong, dance, listen to the juke box, and enjoy a general good time. Mem- bership cards, priced at twenty-tive cents, are issued each month. At the present time the girls ' gym is serving as the Jump Town location, but it is hoped that a more suitable place may be found in the future. At any rate the new juke- box donated by the Tri Kappa scrority and the piano presented by Mr. J. C. Duncan were much needed and wel- comed additions. Miss Denny ' s work as sponsor this year has been greatly ap- preciated by all — except, perhaps by those who like to attend free of charge. Officers for the year were Ian Templeton, Marian Armstrong and Mary Beth Lewis, and the class repre- sentatives included Kenneth Hobson, J. D. Duncan, Arch Voris, and Judith Turner. Visiting basketball fans were entertained throughout the year at Jump Town. Before Christmas the gym was gayly deco- rated and a special dance was held. OFFICE PRACTICE STUDENTS Each year a number of senior girls that are commerce course students become office practice students. Some of the duties performed by these girls in the high school principal ' s office and in the superindent ' s office are selling paper, operating the mimeograph machine, taking dictation, typing and collecting and tabulating absences. In addition to rendering an invaluable service to our school, these girls have the opportunity to experience secretarial work before actually filling a position.

Looking ahead Life is a matter of taking stock of our abilities and using them to the best advantage of everyone concerned. %. THE PIONEER Miss Imogene Chase, director of Bedford High School publications since 1941, has withstood with optimism another year of staff queries, con- cession stand trials, and Student problems. Under her guidance, we of the 1947 Pioneer Staff hope we have given you a yearbook that will mir- ror your school life — its classes, its fun and activities, its sports, its teachers, and its student body — in years to come. MISS CHASE Adrienne Hitchcock served as our 1947 Pioneer Editor-in-Chief. She was ably assisted by Sharon McCarrell. Jim Webb, always seen carry- ing stock boxes on Friday nights, was our concession stand manager. Left to right: Adrienne Hitchcock, Sharon McCarrell. and James Webb. The Pioneer Staff is composed of Seniors and assisting Junior editors. Members work during the basketball season at the concession stand, a project that pays in part for the expenses entailed. Addi- tional money was made this year through having bo th the sectional and the regional tournaments in Bedford. THE PIONEER STAFF Row One, left to right: Carl Boyer. Dorothy Cummings, James Webb.

Every two weeks when the school paper, The Student is issued, everyone eagerly digests its con- tents, whether it contains four or twelve pages. Who can ever forget gossipy Aunt Matilda, the special features, the original poetry, and the jokes — all of which help to make our paper the prize-winning publication which it is. Miss Chase ' s seventh hour journalism class works diligently at gathering, writing, and preparing Student material for the press. The first semester class has been studying the funda- mentals of journalism in order that they will be prepared to take full responsibility of next year ' s Student publication. Each year a group of journalism students attendsa convention at Franklin, Indiana. In addition to ac- quiring new journalistic ideas, they always manage to have a delightful time.

This group serves as a student governing body. Mr. Lloyd and Miss Belva Newsom are the sponsors. Tom Turner was this year ' s president, and the other officers included Bill Abel, Marian Arm- strong, and Carl Boyer. Meetings are held every two weeks on Thursday afternoons. This year the Student Council has been particularly active, and has under- taken many projects. Annually they procure and decorate a Christmas tree, which is placed in the lower hall. After their constitution was finally typed, it was distributed for use. Members sponsored the sale of season basketball tickets; were in charge of the yell leader election; promoted the repair of dilapidated equipment; and proposed the need for new equipment. One of the biggest jobs was the planning of the many pep sessions, a task that is not easy. The fall magazine sale was directed by Student Council members. This group also sponsors the Armistice Day convocation and the student talent convocation. The Council was divided into six committees, each of which completed or directed some one of these projects.

RED CROSS BOXES For their program theme, the Y- Teens used anairplane voyage this year. Guest speakers were en- gaged for some of the meetings and students conduc ted the others. The club always begins the year by giving a Get Acquainted Party for the 9B ' s. The songs of the Y- Teens are Follow the Gleam and Our Song. Each new member is required to memorize the Y- Teen purpose and the promise before recognit ion. This year the candlelight recognition service was combined with the Christmas party. The filling of Red Cross boxes, and the donating of food and clothing at Christmas were two worthwhile pro- jects undertaken by the club. Other highlights of the year were the spaghetti birthday banquet and the style show of spring fashions, directed by Betty Farmer. Each year in May the club sponsors the Mother and Daughter Tea.

Mr. Carpenter, succeeding Mr. Winn, serves as sponsor, and officers in- cluded Bernie Grangier, president, Ken- neth Plummer, Morris Norman, Eugene Stafford, Kenneth Hobson, and Keith Brown. Meetings are held every Tuesday night. HI-Y OFFICERS Left to right: Keith Brown. Morris Norman, .lames Hitchcock, Kenneth Hobsi Plummer, Bernie Grangier and Mr. Carpenter. The Hi-Y Club has experienced a very progressive and formulative year. At their meetings they often held discussions on such topics, as a Y. M. C. A. for Bedford, and a Hi-Y Club for Junior High School. In November the club sponsored a Thanksgiving dance. Members co-operated with the Y-Teens in the contributing of clothing for the needy at Christmas. In March a joint meeting, in which boy and girl relations were discussed, was held with the Y-Teens. But the Hi-Y boys have mixed fun with their projects and more serious work. Twenty of the boys participated in the inter-club basketball tourna- ments, in which the laurels were won by Jack Todd ' s team. Near the close of the year Hi-Y was in charge of an all-school treasure hunt. C3fe THE HI-Y CLUB Row one, left to right: J. Hitchcock. D. Schumacker. .1. Todd, H. Lanz, It. Mitchell. How two: H.

This year two minor productions and one major production were presented under her direction. In addition, various mem- bers of Scarlet and Purple Club and the speech classes prepared and delivered numerous speeches before the school and the public, and acted as announcers upon diherent occasions. In this latter field Harriett Tyree, Larry Byers, and Stephen Hosteler were particularly active. MRS. CHANDLER The Thanksgiving comedy, Grapes for Dinner, was presented before a joint meeting of Scarlet and Purple and Library Club. The story was centered about Lucille Baldwin (Harriet Tyree) who was intrigued by a radio diet specialist, Her- bert Dodd (Harvey Lanz) . After Lucille had persuaded the family to have a light meal, Herbert made his entrance. The play ended as all decided to enjoy the hearty Thanksgiving feast that had form- erly been prepared. The Christmas play, Muggsy ' s Merry Christmas, was given by its cast for out- side organizations, and th en presented to the school for convocation. The plot was built about two crooks (Larry Byers and Harvey Lanz) who mistakedly enjoyed a first real Christmas at the Maxwell home. I ll. .

THESPIAN TROUPE No. 609: SCARLET AND PURPLE AND THESPIAN OFFICERS Bedford High School was honored in 1944 by being granted a charter by the National Thespian Dramatic Honor Society. Our Thespian Troupe No. 609 began its membership with eight, and each year new names are added to the list. To qualify for membership a candidate must have had extensive dramatic experience or stage work. Mrs. Chandler then sub- mits the names of such persons to the national headquarters, where the candidates may be elected to membership. Thespian officers for this year include Harvey Lanz, Phyllis Thoroman, Harriet Tyree, and Max Hyder.

AMATICS There is always more to play productions than the lines of the actors. Without the assistance of reliable stage hands and electricians, major productions could never be presented. This year Robert Mitchell, Buryl McCreary, and Frederick Bickenheuser composed the stage crew. In addition to their responsibilities for the plays, these boys were available when- ever any other stage preparations were necessary in the audi- torium.

THE SPRING PLAY CAST The three-act spring play, The Doctor Has a Daughter, was a comedy presented on April 25. Tommy Billings (Harriet Tyree), a teen-age bundle of vitality, created constant excitement for the other members of the family and their friends. The twelve persons in the cast were selected after try-outs were held within the Scarlet and Purple Club. Scarlet and Purple Club, the dramatics club, is open to interested Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. Each fall those desiring membership are required to have try-outs, in order that only those best qualified will be admitted to the club. After the new members have been announced, it i s customary to have a candlelight initiation followed by a party in their honor. From the Scarlet and Purple group play casts and speech contestants are selected. Regular meetings are not held because much time must be devoted to play rehearsal, but called meetings are not infrequent. THE SCARLET AND PURPLE CLUB Row one, left to right: W. McCaulev, B.

Funds were raised for the club by the selling of Stonecutter seals during tournament time. Mrs. Ethel Frank is the sponsor; and the first president was Max Hyder.

VOCAL MUSIC MISS KEACH THE CHORUS CLASS Miss Catherine Keach, as Director of Vocal Music in Bedford Sc 1 1937, teaches a high school chorus class; is sponsor and director for Club; and offers her assistance on musical programs whenever it i j. conditions gradually returning to normal, this year the numb.:, ot male v( has been increased, thus producing a better balance of parts. The in. t vocal music and this year ' s success can be measured, in part, by the s, groups and the splendid performances offered. The high school chorus class meets the sixth hour each day and is comprised of those students who especially enjoy singing and wish more practice and experience than is given by the Cantamus Club.

Gi ' rdley THE CANTAMUS CLUB Six soloists, one trio, one quartet, and two sextets represented Bedford High School in the vocal regional auditions held in Bloomington on March 2 9. Preceding the Bloomington hearing the contestants presented their numbers before High School and Junior High School, in order that they would be better prepared. The Cantamus Club, the vocal music club, meets very Mon- day and Wednesday. At these meetings the members practice for programs or occasionally enjoy a good party. This fall a group of twelve from the club joined in the Cadle Tabernacle Festival in Indianapolis; the entire club prepared music for a Thanks- giving convocation; they caroled through the halls at Christmas; they participated in the district contest in Bloomington on May 3; and they sang in the Spring Festival — these were some of their major musical events. The Cantamus Club officers for this year were Eugene Stafford, Tom Turner, Dorothy Cummings, and Margherita Liva. Shirley Babb assisted Miss Keach as the accom- paniest. THE CANTAMUS CLUB , . INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC . Thoma., „, nd director since 1945, has done much in the past three years ' .na to improve the instrumental music department. The rather disor- svith which he first began has expanded and has become progressive ;. Mr. Thomas directs the band every morning the first hour; gives in- fraction and supervision throughout the schools; and is present with t various civic functions. The Band Parents Organization, promoted ' . Tnomas, was largely responsible for the procurement of the new uni- .ch were definitely welcomed. THE MAJORETTES Front : K. Owens.

McCarrell, H. Tyree, A. Shoulty. The instrumental music department entered fifteen soloists, one duet, one trio, two quartets, and one sextet in the Blooming- ton Solo and Ensemble Contest. The Bedford High School Band ' s membership is now approxi- mately eighty, including junior high school students. The intro- duction of new instruments and the increasing of the number of instruments in the weaker sections is tending to improve the bal- ance and the intonation. The many public appearances of the band include such things as playing for the basketball games: for the Central P. T. A. circus: in the Armistice Day parade; and for the May Day Festival. Spring practice was spent on contest and concert selections. The band usually celebrates the beginning and the end of the school year with a Spring Mill picnic. Their duties even reach into the summer with the playing for Sunday concerts in the Otis Park band shell. MR. THOMAS The marching band adds to its front sixteen high-stepping majorettes, forming two rows of flag- bearers and baton-twirlers. Kathryn Owens, serving as this year ' s chief Drum Majorette, led the girls in the flag raising ceremony between the first and second basketball games.

These operators make themselves available during their sessions or within their own classes. Mrs. Margaret Schroedle, who is i ' l charge of the films, issues a schedule each week. This enables the teach- ers to sign for those pictures that they feel will be of special use , ; n their fields. With post-war condi- tions, the number and the quality of films is greatly improving. Visual education in technicolor pictures with character portrayal by well- known actors is, indeed, popular with the students. This year we totaled about 175 films. THE CAFETERIA WORKERS Through all the school year the cafeteria is open the fourth and fifth lunch hours, and it serves high school and grade school students, and many teachers. Miss Maish ' s home economics students prepare all the food: but any person, desiring to do so, may become a cafeteria worker and server. These girls assist the customers in getting their food, pour water, sell candy, and operate the cash register. Much credit is due them for their valuble service to the school.

Holmes ' s regular five consisted of Jack Turner, Wayne Girdley, Dick Pace, Bob Sohn, and last, but certainly not least, Morris Root. These boys were backed by Bob Corbin, Joe True, John Condiff, Jack Allen, and Jim Flick. Our three seniors, Morris Root, Bob Sohn and Dick Pace, a Navy veteran, played their best basketball in this, their last year in Bedford High. We wish the 1947-48 squad the best of luck next year and sincerely hope that you will wear the I. H.S. A. A. crown at the end of the season. Good luck, boys ! First Row: Coach Holmes, Root, Allen, Flick, True, Corbin. Standing: Turner, Girdley, Sohn, Condiff, Pace. THE REGULAR SCHEDULE . Bedford played very decisive basketball this season — when we won, we won by very large scores. The worst defeat of the season came in the next to the last game when Central of Evansville downed us by ten points. Central beat us again in the semi-finals but they didn ' t feel so safe about the score for the difference was only four points. In spite of the disappointing close of the season, sports writer Bob Overaker of the Indianapolis Star declared They ' re still the Champions because they played hard, clean ball and both team and fans showed the best spirit of the tourney. Although Root, Pace and Sohn will graduate, the rest of the crew will be going great in ' 48.

The Sectional affair was a thriller with Oolitic giving the local fans some real chills on that 11-2 lead on Friday; and Shawswick practically causing heart failure on Saturday. Bedford survived, however, and went into the Regional with hopes high. In the Regional, Jeff ' s big boy, Johnson, failed to stop us in the afternoon tilt; and we worried through to a seven point victory. Seymour found easy going in their afternoon game with Marengo, win- ning by a 29 point margin. The Cutters outplayed Seymour in the second half of the night game to win by 13 points and claim their berth among the Sweet Sixteen. At the semi-finals, held at the field-house at Indiana University, Bedford lost the heroic struggle to Central of Evansville by the score of 42-38. Sorrow for their lost hopes and pride in a splendidly played game filled the hearts of the local fans. On Monday after the Semi-finals, we returned to school and held an appreciation pep-session for our team. A highlight of the program was the presentation of Mrs. C. L. McNutt ' s beautifully decor- ated cake. School was dismissed for the day. Thus ended the 1946-47 basketball season. ?gey TOURNEY SCORES SECTIONAL THURSDAY NIGHT Oolitic 49; Tunnelton 3 3 Bedford 58; Williams 19 FRIDAY AFTERNOON Fayetteville 60; Huron 12 Shawswick 47; Heltonville 21 FRIDAY NIGHT Needmore 3 5; Mitchell 3 3 Bedford 27; Oolitic 22 SATURDAY AFTERNOON Shawswick 47; Fayetteville 43 Bedford 59; Needmore 31 SATURDAY NIGHT Bedford 40; Shawswick 3 REGIONAL AFTERNOON GAMES Bedford 40; Jeffersonville 33 Seymour 54; Marengo 25 NIGHT GAME Bedford 50; Seymour 37 SEMI-FINALS AFTERNOON GAMES Garfield 64; Shelburn 47 Central (Evansville) 42; Bedford 3!

The squad included Morris Root, Bob Sohn, Arch Voris, Jim Flick, Malcolm Wood, Ian Templeton, J. C. Duncan, :nd George McCune. An eight match schedule will have been completed, victoriously, no doubt, by the end of the semester. On May 14 Bedford was host to the eight-way Southern Indiana Athletic Conference meet. Jasper, University High of Blooming- ton, Bloomington, Bosse of Evansville, Central of Evansville, Reitz of Evansville, New Albany, and the host school participa- ted. The State Golf Tournament was held at the Speedway Golf Course, Indianapolis, on May 24. All teams in Indiana were eligible to play. As we go to press, no definite plans have been made concerning this tournament. Sectionals may have been held, and if so, Bedford was host to the Southern Indiana Sectional.

SPRING SPORTS BASEBALL This year, as usual, the diamond squad was hampered in its practice sessions by its old friend, the weather. April brought its usual wet showers. Despite unfavorable conditions, Bedford still had a terrific baseball team. Members of the squad who were back for another season included Larry Byers, Jack Turner, Wayne Girdley, Joe True, Jack Allen, Harvey Lanz, Bob Corbin, Dick Byers, Don Maddpx, Charles Emery, Jim Webb, Dale Auerbach, Wayne Boruff, Francis Terrell, Ralph Turpin, Jack Todd, John Condiff, Warren Lundy. As you read this publication, we hope that the 1947 baseball team was victorious throughout their season. G.A.A. EXECUTIVES The Girls ' Athletic Association was introduced to Bedford High School in 1942 by Miss Carolyn Dejean. Miss Fae Witte became sponsor in 1943. Mrs. Virginia Hodges, the present sponsor, took over the position in 1945. Mrs. Hodges duties are: to be present at all the games held in the gym; to take attendance if the Sports Heads of the team playing is absent; to help the girls when decisions come up during a game; and to give achievement tests. The achievements tests are not compulsory, but are taken to gain extra points. If all the tests are taken and passed, the girl has fifty points added to those she earned by participating in a game. These tests cover the rules of each game. i CIsfe: Mrs. Hodges Officers of the G. A. A. Left to right: Har- riet Tyree, President; Marian Armstrong, Vice-President; Adrienne Hitchcock, Sec- retary-Treasurer; Ann Allen, Recorder; Vir- ginia Holt, Reporter. All girls who join the Girls ' athletic Organization, who attend regularly and pay dues, are eligible for the or ganized basketball, bowling, softball, or volleyball teams. Hiking, dancing, ping pong, and bicycling are offered as unorganized sports. These sports are done outside of school, but will gain points for the par- ticipants. For each six weeks participating in a sport, agirl receives five or ten points acording to the activity. A total of one hundred and fifty points earn a girl a block B which is awarded on Honor Day. Two hun- dred and fifty points entitle the scorer to an Old English B. The Sports Heads of the organized teams.

I SfUnd I; tke GLm jf ' 47 tf-itidd After twenty-five years of wandering through space the Spirit of the Class of ' 47 began to wonder what had become of all its little proteges. Curiosity prompted the spirit to do a little door knocking, window peeping, key hole listening and just plain snooping. After several weeks of these activities the Spirit decided that a record of his findings should be made. Here, dear readers, is that record. And what a record!!! ■ ' Our piano-playing-president, Thomas Alvin Turner, has made a stupendously successful debut at Carnegie Hall, playing his own composition, Moondirt . He is now planning a concert tour of the European capitals. Mrs. Schroedle has retired, Catherine Adamson being the latest addition to the faculty, as librarian. At long last a B. H. S. graduate has achieved political prestige. I am referring, of course, to Ann Allen, who has just been inaugurated the first woman president of the United States. Hedy Lamarr has a new leading man — Beanie Abel! They are currently starred in the Metro-Goldwyn -Mayer hit. A Smakaroo for Two , which was written, directed, costumed, financed, and premiered by that imminent Hollywood playboy, Joe Abel Don Brewer and Bill Bolding have bought a burlesque houssire — that much sought-after, and likewise coveted title, of Tennessee ' s Tallest Tale Teller . Betty Anderson has realized her life ' s ambition, she is considered one of the most active of Bedford ' s policewomen.. Gene Anderson has succeeded Frank Sinatra in the Swoon-crooning business, and is kept quite busy between his followers and his fifth wife who ' s after a divorce. (Cruelty she says?) Gilbert Andis is making a fortune in his newly opened, exclusive night club — Inn of Inevitable Inebriation . He ' s doing a staggering business, (and I mean Staggering.) Barbara Bailey has celebrated the fifth anniversary of the opening of her new Ritzy-Roller-Rink. Complete with barber shop, manicurist, and super market.) Merle Barlow has organized a thriving business — The Brides for Bachelor ' s Bureau . Don Brewer and Bill Boding have bought a burlesque house. They are now residing on Park Avenue, N. Y., having made a million dollars in their first season. Gene Kruchten is now assistant coach to Ralph Holmes. He is quite sussessful and contented as Bedford has copped the State Title for the last five years, (ho hum) Esquire Magazine has been superceded by a new, thrilling (and I mean thrilling!!) monthly known as Bare Facts and Figures (mostly figures!) The staff consists of Harvey Lanz, editor, Dick Pace, accountant in charge of all figures, Morris Root, handy man (and I mean handy) , and Betty Lou Taylor as their inspiration. Margie Liva is the proud owner of Radio Station CBS (could be so). She spends a half hour each day giving her famous de- lectable, savory, superpalatable Italian recipes. (Sixty-systems of serving spaghetti.) Nancy Lowry has Doctor ' s degree in Science. She is now meditating on Mt. Everest in preparation for revising Einstein ' s theory of relativity. Sharon McCarrell is now touring the country with the Russian Ballet, currently starred in the smash hit, The Nutty Nut- cracker , (well, mash hit, anyway.)
