Sports . . . m,,,,,...,.-- ' i . Bedford High School's sports future is secure in the hands of back yard teams that exist in every block in town. So long as young feet can run and young arms can reach Bedford will have basketball, football, baseball, and track teams to remember and to talk about. This 'lback yard crew is made up of Ed Voris, Denny Kline, Bob Roach, Jim Shaver, and Dick Sowders. The back yard? Why, its john Armstrong's, of course. Too bad Jerry isn't in this, but he was playing too far back at the moment. CUTTERS CN THE HARDWOOD Coaches Ralph Holmes and Ernest Barnes pro- duced, in spite of seemingly insurmountable odds, one of the finest teams that has ever been seen in the Bedford goalry. Row I: Coach Holmes, Francis Terrell, Claude Kessinger, Bennie Colglazier, Arch Voris, Ralph Turpin. Row 2: Mike XXfood, team manager, Wfilbur Andersen, Kenneth Hutchinson, Dave Padgett, Don Quackenbush, jay Wfebster Ned Boyer, Ray Lee jackson. NET ROUNDUP Another Sectional and another trip to the semi-fin als climaxed a hard fought season on the hardwood. Early in the season the Cutters got off to a bad start by losing three out of the first four games and, on top of this, tragedy struck in the goalry with the death of star center Warren jones. In spite of these odds the squad continued to increase the win column. In tournament play the Cutters out-fought Oolitic and Tunnelton to take our tenth straight sectional. In the regional they out played a favored jeffersonville squad to make Bedford's eighteenth trip to the semi-finals. At the semi-finals against Jasper, the Cutters couldn't find the hoop and bowed in defeat. So ends another season on the hardwood, hardfought and successful. Graduating this year will be Jay Webster, Arch Vo ris, Wilbur Andersen, Claude Kessinger, Ralph Turpin, and Francis Terrell, but with such men as Boyer, Padgett, Jackson, and Quackenbush as hold-overs we can ex- pect another succesful season.

Each year a group of senior girls that are taking commercial courses become office practice students. Some of the duties performed by these girls in the high school principal's office and in the superintend- ant's office are selling paper, operating the mimeo- graph machine, taking dictation, typing and collec- tion and tabulating absences. These girls in addition to aiding Mrs. Cezar, have an excellent opportunity to experience the work that is to be expected of them in the secretarial field. The Art Club, starting its second successful year, is open to any high school student interested in art. Meetings or socials are held twice a month on Thurs- days in the art room. Funds were raised for the club by the selling of Stonecutter Seals during tourna- ment time. As one of their social projects this year the club had a Christmas Party. Mrs. Ethel Frank is the sponsor and the officers include: jerry Bridwell, president, Beverly Berrisford, vice-president, Julie Standish, secretary, Valeska Carson, treasurer. A certain group of students in Bedford High School, each year, find time to operate the projection machine in Room 2. These operators make them- selves available during their session or within their own classes. Mrs. Margaret Schroedle, who is in charge of the films, issues a schedule each week to inform the teachers of the films. Teachers may sign for those pictures that they feel will be of special use in their fields. Some of the films are in technicolor, which prove to be very popular with the students. ACT!V!T!ES High school activity leaders of the future are learning now, down in the second and third grades, how to work together and how to enjoy that work. Little Connie Lewis, SB, points to good advice on the blackboard while Nancy Thayer and Ann Sargent, 2A's, and Kaye Thomas, SB, get ready to do neat cut- out work in the future.

Mrs. Helen Chandler DRAMA Mrs. Helen Chandler, head of the Dramatics Department since 1941 and of the Speech Department since 1925, serves as sponsor of the Scarlet and Purple Club and of the Thespian Troupe: and, is the coach for play production and for speech contestants: and is in charge of the paid convocations programs. This year one minor and one major production was presented under her direction. In addition, various members of Scarlet and Purple Club and the speech classes prepared and delivered speeches before the school and the public, and acted as announcers upon different occasions. The Scarlet and Purple Club, the dramatics club of Bedford High School, is open to inter- ested 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. Upon the an- nouncement of new members it is customary to have a candlelight initiation service and then honor them with a party. Regular meetings are not held because much time must be devoted to rehearsals, but called meetings are not infrequent. SCARLET AND PURPLE Row I: Elizabeth Miller, Lois Edmiston.

The three-act spring comedy, A Little Honey was presented in April. Diana Minton, a lovely young lady of 20, listens to everyone's advice as to the only way to get your man , and then tries her own unique ideas which explode into a tumultuously funny and appealing scene that races right up to the curtain of a smash hit. Thespian Troupe No. 609 is composed of eight mem- bers. To qualify for membership a candidate must have had extensive dramatic experience or stage work, after which he is elected to membership by the national head- quarters office upon recommendation by the local sponsor, Mrs. Chandler. Thespian officers this year include George Taggart, Lucy Ann Ingalls, Ann Bailey, and Kathryn Owens. The Christmas play, Don't Open 'Til Christmas , was a comedy of family life which showed thoughtlessness and selfishness in presenting and accepting Christmas gifts. A great part is played behind the scenes of every major production by the reliable stage hands and electricians. Without their assistance and co-operation no play could possibly be termed a success. They are in charge of arrang- ing the stage for plays, and are available when- ever any other stage preparations are necessary in the auditorium. INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC Mr. Thomas, director of in- strumental music, gazes proudly at the instrument racks in his new room, 57. The activities that make up Mr. Thomas's pro- gram include directing the band, giving individual instruction, maintaining a grade school lnand, and conducting the high school hand at school and civic functions. No school or civic function is complete without thce school band Not only does it add flash and color to the basket ball games, P. T. A. Circus, Honor Day, and othcr school affairs, but is also givcs four Sunday afternoon concerts at the Otis Park band shcll during thc summcr VOCAL MUSIC As director of vocal music in Bedford schools Miss Cath- erine Keach is the sponsor and director for the Cantamus club, teaches high school chorus classes, and offers her assistance in musical programs wherever it is needed. The interest in vocal music and this year's success can he measured, in part, by the size of the Cantamus club and the splendid performances of- fered. The Cantamus club, the vocal music cluln of Bedford High School, meets each Monday afternoon after school and every day during third or fourth periods. The members practice for programs, prepare for contests and district festivals, study music and its composers, and per- form in many community programs. The entire cluh prepared a special convocation, carollecl through the schools at Christmas time, and participated in the state contests held. The officers are Don Riggs, president, Nancy Coble, vice-president, Polly Dixon, secretary, and Louis john- son, treasurer. VOCAL MUSIC These soloists participated in the music auditions at Bloomington. Walter Wiatt and Elizabeth Corpen- ing placed in the first group and went on to the state competition at Terre Haute.

Jerry Bridwell, our senior president, has opened a machine shop and is employing only members of the class of '49. Some of his employees are Bob Albeitz, Morrell Tucker, Maurice Beavers and Bob Carson. After years of faithful collection, two of our class have enriched the County Court House Museum with their valu- ables. ??? Merle Bough and Don Riggs have given their guns Cthey can't use them in Sing Singh! ! Harold Lively also parted with his coin collection. Katie Owens has taken over Lana Turner's place in the movies and her leading man is George Taggart. All they will say is We got our start in dear old Scarlet and Purple . Pat Bartlet has taken over as Baby Snooks. Bedford finally won the State-who would have ever thought it- Age limits have been abandoned-Francie Terrell, jay Webster, and Ralph Turpin were high scorers. Our teaching staff has changed considerably. Lois Hall has taken over Miss Painters position and is pounding Grammar into the students. Mary Ann Montgomery is the rugged gym teacher and Mary Jean Johnson is her assistant. Carolyn Jourdan now resides in room 26. Patricia Hawkins finally got her license and has become the driving teacher! ! Betty Allen, Delores Avery, Sue Ann Badolett, Jean Evans, Nancy Brown, and Phyllis Grogan have formed a confedera- tion for private secretaries. They have a world record and have all married their bosses. The engineers of the class, Louie Bill Baker and Dick Curl, have finally completed the new bridge over White River. They say they are taking no responsibilities for future motor plunges into the river. Editor of the Bedford Daily Blah is Bev Berrisford. Pat Spicer, as reporter, has a record for news stories. Susan Frank does all their photography work. Wilbur Andersen now heads W. B. I. W. and Frankie Justus is starring in all the soap operas. Of course, Ann Bailey is writing all their scripts in her spare time from C. B. S. Bob Borden sings all their commercials. jim Anderson just received his doctor's degree and has picked Delores Richards, Carol Krausbeck and Nancy Schreiber as his nurses. Why so many jim? ? After travelling round the world john Alhorn has settled down and is running Alhorn's grocery. Wallace Bell does a thriving business- Bell's Cleaners- no doubt. After years of steady practice Mike Wood has become the pro at Otis. Martha Beretta now Mrs. Wood, Cof coursej spends her time caddying and cooking for Mike. Johnny Nelson is Mike's chief assistant. Mary Lee Bivins, Barbara McPike, and Freeda Bridges have achieved their ambitions and become perfect C? ? ?J house- wife's. Annalou Child is still enjoying her hobby-1 George McCune. Danny Gipe, Jim Housier, and Bob Chilton may be seen any day on the banks of White River fishing. They won't say if they have caught anything in the last ten years. Bob johnson and Bob Fisher have taken over Penny's Shoe Department and have increased sales Zfi, in the last two years. What a record! ! Claude Painless Kessinger has put up his dentists sign and is doing a thriving business. Girls at B. H. S. have sparkling teeth from visiting the dentist twice a week . V Maxine Lee's sailor boy finally got out of the Navy but Maxine is in the hospital with a paralyzed arm. After all-3 letters a day for ten years is too much to expect from anyone. Mr. Thomas has retired and Louis Mitchell has filled his position. Mary Jane Hartman liked the band so well that she has stayed on all these years. Pat Fender and Hoke Nash have 5 little members in our band now! Mary Ann Scott is running a bowling alley with the help of Jim Wilson. They have both reached their goal and bowled a perfect game apiece. Louise Haungs still loves the sport as much as ever. Emmabelle Kern returned to Arizona for her college education and likes it so well she is still there! Rosalyn Koch and Treva Hall have each celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary and are having huge celebrations. Don McGregor, inventor of a new freckle cream earned his million this year. Gunny Louden, Fred Bailey and Steve Hostettler have earned a million but how they did it is a deep, dark secret. Dave Hobbs invented a car which runs without gasoline but forgot to secure a patent, poor guy! Delores Hobbs, chief cook at the Waldorf-Astoria, hired as her assistant Anita Dalton. So far no poisonings have been reported. Although many have been dodging the draft, Bill Endris, Ralph Bays, Jack Hert and Bob Spires enlisted. Bob Spires earned the job as football coach at West Point. Arthur Edwards has opened an insurance office of his own. So as to keep the income in the family, Donna Lee has switched professions and become his secretary. 5 Asa Burgess recently published his book How to Be Polite and Like It . Sarah Wynne, talented girl, holds the position as fashion editor of Glamour , Lorene and Irene Wray, Phyllis Jackson, Pattie Hodges, and Jean Shepard are still skating along through life enjoying themselves. Lucky girls! ! Gene Wininger and Marilyn Walker were finally married two weeks ago. Who would have ever thought it? ? ? ? Two girls with interesting professions are Clara Krenke and Jewell Flynn. Clara holds the position as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and Jewell has completed 1000 missions as stewardess. Keeping the tradition of the city, three of our class are employed at the Indiana Limestone Co. Jerry Eddington-stone carver, Gene Mitchell-draftsman, and Gene Wever-stonecutter Che still has his motorcyclejll Kathleen Sullivan and Reba Perry have made more women beautiful than any other 2 people in the World! Their hair styles are out of this world-Cwhat am I sayinglj Lois Ann Edmiston and Julie Standish were proprietors of Tiny Tots Togs for awhile but are happily married now to two rich movie stars- Peter Lawford and Tom Drake. Don McCoy moved to Arabia to make his harem legal. His many wives include Evelyn Root, Johann Bellush, Delores Bechner, Joanne Duncan, Janet Mclver, and Betty Franklin. Don just couldn't give up his hobby-it had become such a habit! Bill Weddle pays Don regular visits but the life is too much for him. Gordon Lowry is principal of Podunk High and he allows his teachers to give no spelling tests. Spelling has been his hate from way back. Esther Davis has the highest typing speed in the U. S. She will be competing for the world championship soon. Others which follow close behind her are Joyce Rohde, Joan DePierre, Marilyn Johnston, Barbara Sears, Barbara Gerkin, and Melis- sa Wagner. Of course, they owe their success to dear old B. H. S. Arch Voris is doing a prosperous business at the bank. So far no funds have been reported missing. Jim Webster has taken over Firpos and his favorite waitresses are Mary Thomas and Rosalyn Beedie. After a last peek in the keyhole we hope that they will be as successful in the next twenty years as they have been in the first twenty after graduation from B. H. S.
