A MOTTO Love the beautiful, desire the good, do your best COLORS Rose and Turquoise FLOWER Pink Rose NOW IS THE HOUR Now is the hour When we must say farewell. Soon we'll be going Out into the world. While we're away Oh, we'll remember you Always in memory So fond and true. Now is the hour When we must say good-bye. Soon we'll be leaving Dear old Bedford High. We're here to say These years have been our best, Mem'rys of them We'll cherish with the rest. THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE There are so many kinds of mem'rys- Friends, school, and all the things untold. The wealth we gain It will remain Through the years to come and will unfold Our school has given much to us, We've striven for four long years, Our goals on high before us, And now graduation nears. The books in the school, The teachers that rule, The halls we've passed through, To them we're true. Our class of nineteen forty-eight Will always remember you.

They are: Warren Jones, president, Frances Justus, treasurer, Wilbur Anderson, vice president, and Donna Lee, secretary. The SPONSORS, not pictured, are Mrs. Margaret Schroedle and Robert Carpenter. These are the brains who thought up all those money-making schemes, i. e. the WAYS and MEANS COMMITTEE. Those invitations which are welcomed by everyone are the prod- uct of the INVITATION COMMITTEE. Standing are: Carolyn McGinnis, Barbara Mc- Pike, James Schoenbaum, Barbara Sears, Gene Winingerg Seated-Lois Edmiston, Kathryn Owens, Ann Bailey, Bill Weddle. Two big incidents of the Junior year are rings and the Prom. For the prom there must be music, and that is the job of the ORCHES- TRA COMMITTEE. The arrival of class rings, which are selected by the RING COMMITTEE, is a peak event. Those who selected them are: Irene Wray, Gordon Lowry, Bill Henderson, Arch Voris, Joanne Duncan, Seated-Donna Lee, Mary J. Hartman, Frances Justus, Warren Jones, George Taggart. Last but not least, come the refreshments and decoration for the prom. These two very im- portant phases of the dance are taken care of by the DECORATION and REFRESHMENT COMMITTEES. Standing they are: Reba Perry, Nancy Schrieber, Marilyn Walker, Seated- Carol Krausbeck, Betty Franklin, Claude Kes- singer, Jean Evans, Ralph Turpin.

The editorial, business, and sports sections comprise the divisions of the Pioneer Staff. The staff's chief duty is preparing the year- book for publication. The concession stands, which operate during basketball season, are worked by staff members and is a source of in- come for putting out the yearbook. Although it requires a great deal of work, it does not take away from the members the opportunity of having a good time when they are all to- gether and in a gay mood. BUISNESS STAFF-First row: Oran Faris, Carl Boyer, Shirley Babb, Vir- ginia Holt. Miss Imogene Chase, Director of Bedford High School Publications, is the guiding hand behind the yearbook. It is our hope that the effcrts of Miss Chase and the Pioneer Staff shall be fulfilled in that the 1948 Pioneer will reflect the year's activity for the entire school and afford many fond remembrances in future years.

They may be downtown gathering ads which help finance the paper, they may be gathering news wherever it is to be found, or they may be working conscienciously in room 34 on headlines or editorials. The STUDENT, which is issued bi-weekly, contains the gossip column, show beaus, current news happenings of the school, jokes, editorials, and many other additional items. The first semester class is too busy studying to be efficient journalists for next semester to do much actual writing or working on the STUDENT. The joy and des- pair of putting out the STUDENT is therefore, taken on by the second semester class. , The students, first and second semester, were invited to attend a journalism Conference held in In- dianapolis in the early part of the year and those whoattended not only came back with new ideas of jour- nalism, but also many interesting and new acquaintances.

Some of these ap- pearances includes, playing for the basketball games: for the Central P. T. A. circus: in the Armistice Day parade: for the May Day Festival: and they played selections for the spring play, for Honor Day, and for a few of our convocations.

One of their summer duties is the concert given for five Sundays at the Otis Park band shell. The instrumental music department entered eight soloists, two trios, and five quartets in the Bloomington Solo and Ensemble contest. BAND Dnuicron : Mr. Thomas Under the genial leadership of Mr. Howard Thomas, Bedford High School band director, instrumental music has become extremely popu- lar with high school boys and girls, thus making a much stronger and much improved band over the one with which he first began. Various activities that make up Mr. Thomas's program include: direct- ing the band first hour every morn- ing, giving individual instruction throughout the schools, and con- ducting the band at various civic functions. One of the accomplish- ments of Mr. Thomas, other than our band, ig the promotion of the Band Parents Organization. Majoiu T'rFs First Row, left to right: Betty Curren, Kathryn Owens, Rachel Box.

By constant effort and work on the part of both the team and our coach, Mr. Ralph Holmes, the boys won their share of the season's games and had to defeat some top flight teams doing it. We had a wonderful Season of scheduled games, won the New Yearls Day Tourney, for which they were a- warded the Championship trophy and each team member received gold basketballs, and the season ended with Bedford taking its seventh consecutive trip to the Regional at jeffersonville. During the season, the Cutter Varsity won I5 games and lost 5. The starters of this season were jack Slats Turner, Bob Popcorn Corbin, john Condiff, Wziyne Girdley, and joe True. These boys were backed by lan Sam Templeton, Arch Bugs Voris, john jay Birdll Welvster, C Duncan, and Wztrren jones. The team members who graduate this year are Co-captains jack Turner and Wfayne Girdley, joe True. john Condiff, lan Templeton, and C. Duncan. Arch Voris, Warren jones, and john jay Weluster, members of the junior class who are on the squad will be back on the job next year to give us another fine season. Our Varsity next year will, as the saying goes, have that certain new look with its many new boys on the first team. We wish all the fellows of the '48-l-19 Varsity just lots of luck in their and our favorite sport -BASKETBALL. Basketball Heads COACHES, HOLMES AND BARNES Coaches, Ralph Holmes and Ernest Barnes have given us Varsity and Reserve teams, respectively, of which all of us have been proud. Our teams trained by these two coaches have always shown skill, spirit, and a love of the game-which is a hard combina- tion to beat. Holmes and Barnes have developed these things in the boys and that is what it takes to make first class teams. TEAM MANAGERS Team managers Max McClain, a senior, and Mike Wood, a junior, the fellows who do the work behind the scenes. This is not so glamorous or showy as the playing of the game, but its this work which makes the games come off smoothly. You did a great job fellows! Thanks! YELL LEADERS These are our yell leaders, you know them! Sue Armstrong, Radonno Box, Carol Girdley, and Bill Clark who gave us so many new yells this year. When we were feeling low they pepped us up and calmed us down in our wilder moments of a close running game. You did a big job in a big way. Good luck next season. 1947-Seasorfs Record-1948 Nov. 7 BEDFORD SALEM 20 Nov. 14 BEDFORD JASPER 34 Nov. 21 BEDFORD PERU 44 Nov. 26 BEDFORD WASHINGTON 43 Nov. 28 BEDFORD SEYMOUR 25 Dec. 5 BEDFORD HUNTINGTON 3 5 Dec. 9 BEDFORD MITCHELL 32 Dec. 12 BEDFORD NEW ALBANY 3 3 Dec. 19 BEDFORD VIN CENN ES 32 jan. 9 BEDFORD BLOOMINGTON 48 jan. 16 BEDFORD MARTIN SVILLE 34 jan. 20 BEDFORD WASHINGTON 25 jan. 2 3 BEDFORD MITCHELL 34 jan. 27 BEDFORD SEYMOUR 42 Jan. 30 BEDFORD BOSSE C EVANS.

Leo Torphyl Albert Fields fCO3Cl1l Here is your first Football team in almost 50 years, look at the difference in the squad above, and our '47 gridironers below. The contrast is not only in the number of players, but in the equipment they are wearing. These fellows had to learn many more plays and general playing rules of good sportsmanship than the old timers shown above because of the strides forward the game has taken up to date. Coach Bob Snyder started the rigid training which it takes to make a hard hitting team, early in September, at Thornton Park where the Upigskin carriers were put through many hours of high school grid training. Much of their spare time was spent learning rules and plays which they would use later on the field. In their two scheduled meets they really won even though the score board didn't ring up a victory. How- ever, these fellows did the job of being first and started from zero a sport which, as far as being played by Cutter teams, had long ago faded from the scene. Most of these fellows will be back next fall and will have their experience with them. Watch for them, these same guys will use that experience when and where it will do the most good. low I: Arlin Lane: Ralph McCurdyZ joe Burnham? VARSITY FOCDTBALL Coach Robert Snyder of Princeton, Indiana, joined the faculty last fall and played the dual role of history teacher and football coach. Mr. Snyder received his A.

Coach Snyder was a Physical Ed. instructor for one and one-half years, a member of the Sigma Delta Psi, and served in the Army for three years. NEW WORLDS TO CONQUER Below is a shot of our Football Varsity making its comeback into Hoosierland High School football after an absence of almost half a century.

Our opponents were University High School of Bloomington Cthereb, and Jasonville High School Ctherej.

GOLF TEAM The golf team was started through the efforts of Harriet Tyree, a senior last year. Judy Turner took it over this year, and it has become an ac- tive sport.
