Bedford High School - Pioneer Yearbook (Bedford, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 86 of the 1951 volume:

G j 7 HE PIONEER 1 9 5 1 We enter high school as children; we leave it as adults. When did we change from one to the other? No one can tell. It is the mysterious alchemy of high school. 1951 is the mid-year of the century. Which is better — the half century that lies behind, or the one that lies ahead? Again no one can tell Let us, therefore, concern ourselves with today alone. These pages mirror Bedford High School of 1951. Someday it may give you pleasure to remember these things. mgil , ' pamcUan Savi McacU tq 4 s4ie 7 0 e t y e 4i MA . . . 7fta,y a%iae @amfc€U 9t . . .

Each fall those desiring membership are required to have try outs, in order that only those best qualified will be ad- mitted to the club. Upon the announcement 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 devoted to rehearsals, but called meetings are not infrequent.

LIBRARY Since Miss Byerley ' s work as librarian sometimes becomes too demanding, she is aided by several library assistants. These students not only help Miss Byerley, but also help themeselves by becoming more familiar with the library and its books. Some of their varied duties include putting away books, keeping books in condition, stamping literature, checking delinquent borrowers, and helping students find reference material. Relaxation at home is what Miss Byerley often thinks of. She re- ceived her degrees from Ball State Teacher College and Denver Uni- versity. Sa§ PROJECTIONISTS Seated: Jack Moon, Don Bays.

Some of the duties performed by these girls in the high school principal ' s office and in the superintendent ' s office are sell- ing 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. All businesses need helpers trained in bookkeeping, typing, and shorthand, and that is what these three are here to teach. Mrs. Anderson received her degrees from Franklin College and Indiana University. Miss Denny received degrees from Central Normal College, and Indiana University and attended Vincennes University. She is well known among the students as director of Jump Town . Mr. Brown received his degrees from Indiana University and Central Normal. He is co-sponsor of the Hi-Y. SALESMANSHIP CLASS Under the direction of Mr. Brown, these students learn the art of good salesmanship. Many of the students, in addition to taking salesmanship class sixth hour, earn an extra credit by working in downtown stores after school and on Saturdays. In addition to advice from Mr. Brown, the Chamber of Commerce this year has provided some of our business men to come and tell the class how they like for their salespeople to talk to customers and how they like for them to dress.

Mr. Holmes has been varsity coach for the past 11 years. In that time he has had 10 sectional winners and 8 regional winners. A fine record, Mr. Holmes. Mr. Barnes has coached Bedford ' s reserve team for the past 5 years. His training prepares the boys for the varsity. MANAGERS Left to Right: Jan Fox and Louie Endris.

The season ended with sixteen wins and eight losses. Although this is not a too impressive record, we upset a couple of favored teams. We had very little trouble in the Sectional, and eased by Seymour in the Regional by two points. We lost the Regional, bowing to New Albany in the night session.

He will be back to play next year, to try even harder than he did this year. BILL MAXWELL had two years of varsity ball at Bedford. One of our capable forwards, he added to the point total for B. H. S. He is a senior. NED BOYER was our second forward. Having three years on the varsity, he is one of the old veterans. His right-handed push shot aided in bringing defeat to some of our adversaries. Ned is also a senior. DAVE PADGETT was our center for the ' 50-51 season. Padge was a scrapper under the goals, bringing the ball out with him most of the time. This is Dave ' s last year at Bedford High. JIM BLILLOCK, the shorty of the squad, graduates this year. He had two years of varsity basketball. Jim usually managed to get in his two cents worth each game. Out of the first five we lose four, but we have some capable replacements that include: BILL BRISCOE, regular on the second team, will be back next year to dump in his share of the points for the coming season. CHARLIE LIZARD FIDDLER saw quite a bit of action this season. A junior, he will return for future play. BILL PINHEAD LOVEALL got in most of the games to add to the point total for Bedford. Pin is a junior. JIM WYCOFF, also a junior, developed quite a hook shot this season. He will be back for future play. BOB DYER will have another year of basketball along with his fall sport, football. RALPH BOOMIE VAUGHT was a regular on the second team. He also saw some action on the first string. These boys, along with some from the second team, will form the Stonecutter squad for 1950-51. Lots of luck, fellas.

In the pigskin classic of the past year the team won 5 and lost 2. In the first year at B. H. S. the squad won and lost 2.

(?la 4, riofi m May ??, 1976 — The class of ' 51 met today after twenty-five years of feeedoir. Lorn .Ue idc_  n-j rigc u( The following are the results of the past twenty-five years. Marvin Allen, Dale Yeskie, Bob Nocus and Doug Robbins combined talents and for:ned a booming - ' • . faster cars for the 500 Mile . No winners as yet, but they ' re still hoping. Jerry Asbt.l is now heading the Barrel ; ue; : Coble is the leading lady in all his productions. Jeanie Bailey is now head nurse at Dunn Memorial. P.S. — all the nurses are wear- ing the newest dress creations — designed by Jeanie in her spare time. Speaking of nurses, Anna East and Vivian Dusard have both become angels of mercy and are holding high positions at the local hospital. Don Bays has become one of the best doctors in the country; aided and abetted by none other than Marilyn (Stretch) Lewis who finally graduated from nursing school two years ago. Jerry Wray has opened an art school of his own — the school is a great success. A few teachers in this thriving business are Betty Jo Blythe, Nina Henderson, Bill Tarr, and Karl Taylor. The teaching staff of B. H. S. has changed somewhat since the class of ' 51 left. Connie Wever has become girls ' gym teacher (also teaching a snap course of health and safety on the side). Ronnie (Skinner) Wolfinger is the boys ' gym teacher. Mr. Wolfinger likes teach- ing at B. H. S. but he ' d be much happier if all the girls would just let him alone. Phyllis Chambers and Nancy Branson are teach- ing mathematics at their Alma Mater — nobody has failed math for the past 20 years. John Reuter finally got to be chemistry teacher at B. H. S. Since Reuter came, room 44 has been shunned by all except his one class of two people — Glen Richards and Tom Walker — they came back for a post-grad course in ' 52 and just stayed. Ted Carter and Jim Bullock are co-coaches of Bedford ' s football team. They hold the record of being unbeaten since 1955. Jim Heath has finally achieved his lifetime ambition and is the proud owner of the Stagger Out , Bedford ' s biggest night club. Patrons are entertained nightly by Jerry Slinkard and his piano. The Beautiful Dozen ( who ' s that? ) who perform once a week are the biggest attraction however. Orpha Jewell achieved her ambition to be liked by everyone and is now writing a book about how to win and keep friends. Jack Canfield is now playing ball with the Bedford Pros — they say he ' s earning $500,000 a season but Mira Jo spends it as fast as he earns it. Phyllis Isom, Betty Gregory, Margie Hall, Betty Wever, Mina Kindred, and Kathleen Schumacker have all been happily married for a long, long time and the B. H. S. teams are being sustained by their offspring. Sharon and Jack Schooley have taken over management of the Dunk-ette and business is jumping. Helping Jack and Sharon are Marthy Belle Carson, Becky Robinson, Margie Overton, and Mary Reichman. They ' re having difficulties keeping the high school kids away (during school hours). Ned Boyer became coach of the Bedford Cutters when Ralph retired. They haven ' t lost a game since. The Cutters have taken State so many times that B. H. S. had to build an additional wing to hold all the trophies. June White finally made up her mind who was to be the lucky man. All the poor boys, I bet they ' re tired after waiting twenty- five years for her decision. Johnny Myers (our esteemed yell leader), Jack Mitchell, Leo Pace and Bob Webb went exploring into the wilds of Alaska. At last report they had found a lost paradise and would never return. Flash! Shirley Byers, Valeska Car- son, Barbara Gennett, Betty Judy, and Doris Wagner, while traveling through Alaska came upon some friendly natives?? and decided to stay a while. Walter Chilton finally achieved his one ambition to own a newspaper. On Walter ' s staff are Larry (Bones) Ikerd, and Nancy (Flutter) Flinn. Ah yes, the Bedford Daily Owl is a fine paper; they don ' t give a hoot what they print! Vir- ginia Baker has opened her own beauty salon and is an overwhelming success. Kathleen Kopp and Betty Klatte are Virginia ' s helpers. The Beauty Spot caters only to male customers — which suits everybody fine. Marjorie Walker, Phyllis Turner, and Iris Evans are co-owners of a new combination drug store, dime store, and restaurant. The girls are rapidly becoming the three wealthiest gals in Bedford. Quick boys — they aren ' t married yet! Patty Fisher achieved her ambition and became a teacher. For some odd reason her husband became coach of the Mitchell basketball team. It seems he was a star on that team until he graduated in ' 51. Dean Faris, Rodger Hitchcock and Jim Ridge are proud owners of the Kocolene chain of gas stations, that way they can have plenty of gas to drive around town. Diane Clark started out as a lowly buyer of merchandise at Sak ' s and she is now part owner of the store. The other owner is formerly of Bedford too — I believe Schloot is . i.ey ve . . ' h? r ' .!; rrsrriej tor oyf • 70 years. Polly Dixon is now working full time at WBIW. After having -v: , . - . -■ years, Poll.} beat f.. jeer out of his job. Pat Stapp, Pat Love, Pat McCarrell, Pat McKee, and Patty stupendous hit on B They ' re checking hats at the Stork Club and looking for wealthy husbands ! k ■ -. ■ id. s opened a d:-.. dut ica-emy in Hollywood. Barbara Thorne, Marian Plake, Janice Houston and Suella -failing all Ed ' s pupils to trip the light fantastic — Bedford Style. Since Sue Bridwell got along so well with Miss Denny, she has stayed at B. H. S. all these years as Miss Denney ' s special assistant. Dan Parker has attained the position of admiral in the U. S. Navy. Besides that he is listed in Dunn and Bradstreet (for busi- nesses on the side). Emma Goldsby bought a garage so she could repair all her cars herself. Ever since Nora Jones got that car for graduation she has been driving around seeing all the sights. Don Gratzer and Johnny McRae now own the Downtown Pool Hall . Don gives lessons to all persons desiring national fame at billiards and Johnny (because of his wonderful disposition) coaches all patrons in the art of graceful losing. Some more of B. H. S. ' s happily married couples are Jack Moon, Nedra Smallwood; Ronnie Rile, Sallyann Duncan; Johanna Sohn, Joe Elliott. Emily Hitchcock and Oneita Bell have both become veterinarians and have a thriving business. Miss Brooks resigned and Mary Lou Boyd came back home to take her place teaching Spanish and algebra. Eleanor McKnight is now the leading psychiatrist in the country. Wilma Jourdan is Eleanor ' s assistant in the mental business. Patsy Mauger and Sue Smallwood combined sources and opened a nursery for babies from one to ? ? years inclusive. How ' s the business, girl ' s? Bill Maxwell and Bob May joined the Navy and are seeing the world. They like the idea of a girl in every port. Joanne Greene, Carolyn Taylor, and Frances Fritsche all inherited a pile of money from various rich relatives. Bet they ' re having fun! Jerry Schomacker, Kenny Callahan and Walt Edwards have made their first 20 million and have finally retired. Jody Cumming married her high school sweetheart, we hear he ' s a rich admiral now, and they ' re rearing little sailors. Louie Endris and Jack Cal- lahan joined the navy to see the girls. Louie writes poems to all the girls and Jackie recites them. Dave Roberts now owns the biggest flower shop in the world. His chief helper and advisor is a little gal named Gerry (Myers) Roberts. She was Dave ' s steady ' way back in ' 51. Gloria Delaney and Marilyn Ann Miller are both happy people. As soon as they graduated both gals latched on to their heart ' s desires. Gloria married John G. and Marilyn married Frank H. Pat Brown is still around school prac- ticing her shorthand and typing — someday she ' s going to get a secretary ' s job. Since Miss Chase would have been lost without Marilyn Andrea Miller around, Marilyn stayed at B. H. S. for a while. She ' s still there — putting out the Pioneer singlehanded they tell me. George Chopas is playing pro football with some big team down South. We hear he likes those southern belles.
