On the first step some seemed to step awkwardly, others very lightly and swiftly. But Alas! as they tripped on up two or three steps a few slipped and fell to the bottom, never to rise again. The rest of the half-hundred went step by step, slow but sure. At the top of the first landing of the stairs some of our intelligent climbers had participated in Athletics, Debate and Glee Club. Many stepped successfully on to the second landing. Here they became absorbed in Geometry, Caesar, and History, but pecking along on each step they turned and looked back to sec how far they had come and if they had dropped anything of importance, because they wished to keep a clean path behind them. Looking forward they were amazed to see the third and most interesting landing. This one was colored black to some, and white to others. It was one of the broken and beaten boards. Each individual did his part and the class showed some of the best work ever done in old B. H. S. -The honor roll still carried the 1l2'L11'lSS of prominent climbe1's. They were represented in football, basket-ball, base-ball and glee club. The class had several good deelamatory students and they also put on a very good class play. During the year they put on an elaborate banquet for the Seniors of '24. It was carried off very cleverly in their class colors-blue and white. Now for the last flight of stairs! My! How interesting! There was the last landing in sight everyone seemed enthused. One little fellow cried out to his class-mate down below, The elevator to success is not running take the stairs! This became their Class Motto. The other students of the high school took notice and begun to work harder, thinking how far they must go to reach the TOP. The fourth row of steps were straight but wearisome. Their number had in- creased to more than fifty and they were proud of it. Some of the weak members of the group were assisted by some of their old leaders. Their Class Advisor, Miss Damewood, was ever-ready and willing to help them in all their work and study. How glad all of them were to have her during their last year. Many, not some, were helpers in Y. W. O. A. and Hi-Y, while others were on the athletic teams. They helped make some games successful but lost others with a smile as good sportsmen do. Some of their fellow-climbers were excellent in debate, and declamatory. Still they were represented by the best songsters in the Grlee Club and many talented musicians played in the Orchestra. and High School Band. On they trod until they were on the top landing, May 22, 1925. They were now ready for service in College, the business world or elsewhere. Their Motto had worked out and each was to go on his way.

Leave your weary tasks and refresh your minds with a group of learned Freshmen, fresh from the mint of Grade School. Slowly they file upon Life's Stage to the first strains of the popular anthem U Green but Growing. From one chamber of horrors to another they wend their way, receiving knowledge which is to ripen their greenness. But as the curtain slowly dccends wisely they sing, Our class will shine next year, our class will shine. A wise man once said, Think it, know it, and you have it. We did and we have our victory. The curtain rises again disclosing the sixty-five actors. They have changed considerably in looks and learning and now the chambers of horrors have no horrors, for them! They participate in Debate, Declamatory, Foot ball, Basket ball and the rest of the sports and again the curtain decends. Do 11ot become restless. Your wait will be rewarded. Hark! the orchestra is playing Hail, the Conquering Heroes Come and the curtain rises upon a lively scene. Everywhere the people are making preparation for some great event. Soon the Class of '26 marches into their midst, bearing lightly upon its shoulders the burdens of Virgil, Algebra III and the rest of the instruments of torture. Heading the procession is our Honorable President, Henry Gilchrist, assisting hiln is Vice-President, Dean Price. But who is the lively young fellow bearing that huge money sack and the secretary book? Why that is Ivan Burks, the Junior's Martyr, Secretary and Treasurer. ACT III- Scene 1.-This scene shows are Juniors, dignity thrown to the wind, enjoying a Halloween Frolic with the F1-eshies. Scene II.-A group of five or six Juniors covered with much smoke and grease, proudly bearing thc hard-earned reward of 3512.00 from the Hamberger stand at the Thanksgiving Football Game. Scene III.-The SCGIIG is laid in Rialto Theatre where the people sit in amaze- ment, marveling at the wonderful dramatic ability of the cast in The Teeth of the Gift Horse a one act play. This followed the motion picture The Eternal City. A The latter part of this scene shows the Treasurer carrying 3991.40 to the bank. Sceen IV.-This scene has not been acted yet, but as time is limited we will give a brief summary of it. The whole Junior Class is doing its utmost in order that the Junior-Senior Banquet of '25 will over-shadow any thing of that nature that has been given. And now, that the performance is finished and the curtain is dccending we desire to thank you, one and all, for your kind attention and to express the hope that in this drama you may have found some profit as well as pleasure.

Sophomore Class Histor September first, nineteen hundred twenty-four, S8V6l1ty-l1l1lG students set sail in the Sophomore craft of the B. H. S. fleet on the Sea of Learning. They had not sailed far before Miss Holloway was appointed advisor. A meeting was called and all the mates assembled on deck where Elmer Bladow, Captain, Myrtle Avey, Mate, and Alvin Klopp, Treasurer were elected to guide this ship of State. This happy-go-lucky crew then sailed into the sea of First Six Weeks Test, Some grew rather sea sick but they were soon as frisky as ever. The football season called, Verne Gillet, John Crum and Harry Longfellow who yearned for a wider and more varied scope of Learning so made the team, and helped the bunch battle to keep the B. H. S. reputation.

Joe Scane, Captain and Alvin Klopp on tl1e Boys' Basket Ball Team. The Deelamatory season opened a11d two Sophomores, Elmer Bladow and Ruth Nevins were chosen to represent B. H. S. in the Humorous and Dramatic divisions. The Sophomores' argumentive ire was aroused so Elmer Bladow participated in that branch of Learning. The journey is not yet completed. They see more work, fun and fame ahead and this next sea to be sailed will be navigated in the Junior craft. 1:-E '1 .e xx . 4?

Freshman Class History President-CHARLES HUFF See. and Treas.-OPAL HENSLEJI Class Advisor-MISS BARTALS On the eventful day of September the first in the year of 1924, forty fresh- men gathered at the starting point of a nine months race. They fairly bristleu with new spirit and enthusiasm at the prospects of their journey. Each of them arove a car of the same make-a car of knowledge. They were told to take 'the utmost care of the four tires as each of these represented a study. Each of these tires would count them two credits at the end of the race. Should anything go Wrong with one of them, their car of knowledge might be badly injured. Some of them found the road rather rough but by careful driving managed to help out of the ruts. During the sixth week the road was especially bad and some of them found that their tires were rather badly punctured. After a little patch- ing however they were allowed to continue the race. During Christmas vacation the cars were abandoned and for two Weeks every one Jomed in on the frolics of the season. After this the trouble with the tires were especially tiresome but every one continued his careful driving.

At that section of the road called semester some changed tires before con- tinuing their journey. Then for a bit of variety to break the monotony of the care of the tires the basket ball season was welcomed. In this also the class was well represented. Wlxexr the journey was ,completed the whole class bid farewell to the ears for three glorious months of vacation. Nevertheless they deserve the reputation this verse describes for their stick-to-it attitude.

Trziining for it should not be ignored. Ueclnnmtory work gives every student in High Schoollthe opportunity to help provide for this need, and to develop latent talent. ' The flontest itself, and winning of prizes, is secondary to the real purpose of the teziebiuq as perhaps the student marked lowest on the score cards has in reels ity derircd the most benefit from the training. For the past three years it has been the policy of the Bedford School to hire an outeide couch for the Dcclalnatory work. This year Mrs. Helen Moody has acted if this capacity and has been very successful in her work, not only from the standpoint of winning contests, but also in interesting students in the funda- mentals of public speaking. 1 Much interest was shown by the students, evidenced by the fact that forty- three entered the preliininaries. From these the following were chosen for the final contest: Freshmen-Lena Reith, Eulah Blake, Sophomores: Ruth Purcell. Ruth Nevins. Helen Cover, Ehner Bladowg Juniors-Donald Willianis, Mildred Cade, Elaine Nleikleg Seniors--Kenneth Chilcote, Thelma Meikle, Blanche Hart- Mun. The final contest was held February 18. The winners were: 0ra.torical-- Kenneth Chileoteg Dramatic-Ruth Nevins, Humorous-Elmer Bladow. The first contest of the state series was held at New Market February 26, where Kenneth Chilcote won first place in Oratorical, Ruth Nevins second in Dramatics: Elmer Bladow second in Humorous. On Merch 17 the second of the state series was held at Greenfield, where Kenneth represented us again in Oratorical. In a very close contest, he won second place, thus eliminating us for further contests. - -, ' 29? V' . .1 um' F-Nil' Page . Thirty .f f BLADOW WATERMAN SMITH CHILCOTE Debate Bedford is one of the best towns in 'Iowa for debate. The unusual interest shown by the people 'off the town, 'has' furnished 'the 'inspiration which has 611- abled our debate teams to make a record which is perhaps unequalled by any other town in the state: It is our custom to 'start Work on debate at the begin- ning of the school year, but this year nothing was done until after the fifteenth of November, the latest date for sending in our .enrollment fee. The question was an unusually interesting one, Resolved that the U. S..sl1ould join the League of Nations. By the time the material for debate reached us it was too late for the preparation of set speeches for the preliminary debate. The speak- ers all spoke extemporaneously. The following students took part: Marjorie imith, Marjorie Meikle, Dean Price, Elmer Bladow, Blanche, Hartman, Ople vvaterman, Beulah Phillips, Angeline, Wintermute, Clorus Rush, Ruby Jones. Mrs. moody, the declamatory coach acted as judge and selected the following student to represent the chool: Marjorie Smith, Captain, Ople Waterman, Elmer Bladow. Kenneth Chilcote was later added to the list. As the preliminary debate was held just before Christmas holidays, it was necessary to spend most of the time during vacation, in preparation for the first debate. Our season's schedule was as fol- rows: Bedford vs. Creston, January 9th, Bedford vs. Atlantic, January 23rd. bedford vs. Stanton, February 9th, ' Bedford vs. Council Bluffs, February 20th. In the first two debates Bedford in each case won a unanimous decision. In the third debate we supported the affirmative. Stanton had a strong, confident team and put up a convincing argument, Bedford kept their argument well under cover during their constructive speeches, thus weakening their opponents rebuttal and came back with a brilliant rebuttal which completely snowed under their opponents and won by a two to one decision. On the evening of February 19, the Bedford dcbaters made a pilgrimage to the historic city of Council Bluffs to compete in the semi-finals with the Abraham Lincoln high school of that city. In this district, out of thirty-two schools competing in the first debate of the series, only four remained: Blockton, Osceola, Council Bluffs and Bedford. The debate was in the High School Auditorium before a large audience composed of students and friends interested in debate. Our speakers made a fine effort but the fates Cjudgesj were against us and we lost by a three to nothing decision. Later Osceola won from Council Bluffs, in the finals, thus winning the Champion- ship of S. W. Iowa. They also won the Championship of Western Iowa by de- feating Estherville. In May they will compete with the Champions of Eastern Iowa for the Championship of the state. Osceola has a strong team, composed of three boys who have debated tobether for three years. They have won all their contests this year by unanimous decisions and we are hoping that in the near future they will be champions of the state. ' U- ,.

W. C. A. of Bedford High School was organized three years ago under the leadership of Miss Damewood. The group consists of forty members from the Senior and Junior classes. Devotional meetings are held every Monday night at the High School building. In order that each girl may feel respon- sible for the success of the Y. W., leaders are chosen each Week to conduct the meeting and much interest is created. Outside speakers are invited three or four times a year. The Y. W. sent two delegates to Lake Okiboji last summer to a ten days Conference where they received much inspiration. The organization also sent four girls this winter to Red Oak and the reports of the delegates were very encouraging and helpful. In the fall the girls enjoyed several hikes and more are being planned. After the initiation of the new girls, a Motherh- Daughter reception was given where girls displayed their tal- ents as hostesses. A chautauqua is being planned for the near future and many ideas are being worked out. Although the Y. W. has not undertaken any large work this year, its influence has been felt in the school and While a great deal of credit is due to the girls yet much of success has been due to the capable and helpful leadership of Miss Damewood. ,iii 'T . 6-':. w. 4 at-Z 'N , ' . 3 D 'ff V f ...-- gl Y' ,,-371. ?

HI-Y In the five years existance of the I-Ii-Y, it has become an organization of the utmost importance in the school life of Bedford High School. Every year it has added more members and every year it has helped in the development of the three sides of a boy's life, the mental, the physical and the spiritual. The school and community as well as the Hi-Y members them- selves realize the good that the Hi-Y club has been doing: thus they have been giving it their heartiest support. The regular meetings, which are held every Wednesday night at seven o'clock, are carried off with zeal and enthusiasm that inspires everyone present. Problems are discusses that are everywhere giving trouble to the high school student. In the past year we have had many talks by older people outside of the Hi-Y. We have gained much in the Way of knowledge by these talks and advice given by the older people. Among those who have given us talks are Mr. Street, Rev. Roberts and Mr. Parsons. Although having only thirty-two members, the Hi-Y be- lieves in quality not quantity . In 'the years of 1924-1925 we held two initiations and a party for the Hi-Y and Y. W. C. A. Much credit is due Mr. McLain. He has been present at all the meetings and all occasions and We wish to acknowledge our thanks to him for his splendid example before us at alltimes. With the co-operation of everyone in high school and everyone in the community We hope to make next years work in the Hi-Y a better and larger year for the Hi-Y.

Girlsi Glee Club From as aspiring group of Prima Donnas assembled for tryouts, thirty-three were selected by Miss Kindblade to carry messages in song. As an aid in carrying out this enjoyable work Marjorie Smith was selected to coax the piano into tune with the bird-likewarbling. With tempermented artists care in management must be observed so Nellie Hensley was elected President, Maxine Moody, the clear-thinker, Vice-Presidentg and happy-go-lucky Bessie Ewart, Secretary. To avoid ab- sences during important rehearsals certain rules were adopted, allowing each girl only two unexcused absences and three ex- cused absences. As a reward for good behavior and conse- quently the valuable training received, one half semester credit is received. From the most aspiring artists a Girls' Octette was organ- ized, being composed of Thelma Meikle, Eula Blake, Ruth Par- rish, Marjorie Meikle, Elaine Meikle, Martha Thompson, Mar- purite Bladow, and Eula Parrish. The Glee Club and Octette made several public appearances at debates, contests, and chapel. As a crowning achievement the Operetta, Miss Cherry Blossom surpassed all previous performances.

Boys' Glee Club The process of accepting and eliminating candidates for the boys' glee club began approximately at the close of the foot- ball season. The tryouts were madeg the newly formed club met on an appointed evening and officers were elected. The officers for the year were: Wayne Clark, President and Paul Gant, Secretary. In order to insure a good attendance at re- hearsals it was decided that only three unexcused absences would be granted. To be a member of the glee club requires hours of regular concentrated practice. Just as well organized industry is not formulated in a dayg so a glee club can not be perfected in a Week. There is a marked benefit in glee club work, not only is the voice trained and developed and a better understanding of music but also the member acquires the ability to make a good appearance before an audience. As a further inducement, one half credit on school work is given for two semesters of satis- factory service. The membership of our club is practically the same as last term, and compares very favorably with those of past years. As only a few graduate, the prospects for 1926 are bright indeed. Due to the fact that an operetta was in grogress no male quar- tette was organized. The personnel of the club counts itself very fortunate in having Miss Kindblade as a musical instructor for the third' consecutive term. W. C. , :i,.,-M ' J -nz xx ,039 ' Y ' 4 woo.

Although most of the members of the band are amateurs, it has been said, that they can put forth the stuff When it comes to playing peppy music. Theband played at the Lenox-Bedford basket ball games: and helped the B. H. S. boys and girls beat the Lenox teams. They also played during the County Basket Ball Tourna- ment, receiving much comment on their pep and enthusiasm. It is predicted that the next year's High School Band Will be better than this year's band since most of the members will have one year's experience. ' This is the first year that B. I-I.

Commencement Commencement Week, the busiest and brightest of all weeks, lived up to its regular reputation last year. The Junior-Senior Banquet was a good appetizer for the rest of the Commencement activities. The Baccalaureate Sermon was given by Rev. Price of the Christian Church. Class Day Was a grand success. A big chapel was the scene of the reading of the Senior Will, Prophesy, etc., after which field events and a big picnic at the Fair Grounds capped thc climax. A splendid Commencement address was made by President E. Jones of Buena Vista College. The diplomas were awarded by J. M. Little, President of the Board of Directors. The class song gaily sung by the Seniors closed the High School Career of the Class of ,2-1. Class Plays in 1924 And Home Came Ted was presented by the Seniors on May 22 to a record house. The scene of this sparkling little comedy is laid in Rip Van Winkle Inn of Catskill mountain fame. The plot has to do with the struggle between Ted and the unscrupulous adventurer Ira Jones over the f01'Il16I',S furniture fae- tory and the final triumphant success of the hero aided by Mollie the plucky little innkeeper. The character Mi: , Qlater known as Ted j was very well portrayed by George Wallace, while the role of Mollie his close friend fell to Mary Hook. The lot of dishonest Ira Jones was that of Edgar Kemper 's. Mr. Trousdalc directed the production. On the 4th of March the Juniors presented Officer 666 to a Very large and enthusiastic audience. This side splitting comedy is rich with humorous sit- uations as Grladwin the rich young New Yorker discovers the sly thief Wit son in his priceless collection of old paintings. With aid of Officer 666's uni- form, GladWin , captures Wilson just as he is attempting to elope with the former's fiancee, Miss Burton. GladWin found a ready portrayed in the person of Alan Thompson, and Miss Burton no less in Marjorie Webb. Carl Cummings shown brilliantly as Wilson, Miss Durham directed the production. flfigl- . 6 1,4 'wr' ? 11 in li xsane- r -16 . , . idk Page Forty 1 4 Members of the Club: iq-an L H if 1 7 j '1C?' 5 11 7 l X 'fax 'AN .AV li NORMAL TRAINING CLUB BEULAH PHILLLPS-Pres.

After school began, a need was felt for SOIIIG kind of an organization that would be of interest and concern to those who were preparing to teach. As a 1'esult, the Normal Training Club was organized under the supervision of Miss Wilcox. The club was organized for the purpose of studying the country schools and problems of rural life, as there are many members who have never attended a country school. The club meets the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. Each time there is a program consisting of readings, music, and inspiring talks by experi- enced teachers. This is followed by the social hour. The rural teachers are invited to the meetings, that they may exchange ideas with the niembers, and that they lllily help one another.

Although many do not realize the fact, yet it requires quite a. little effort to compile two 01' three columns of high school news which appear regularly in the Friday editions. Not only do the staff members strive-also the staff adviso1's. The news notes generally begin with an editorial followed by an account of the athletic contests, whether football, basketball or baseball. Chapel programs or assembly gatherings also form an interesting topic. A school activity such as a play, debate or deelamatory often serves as a feature article while Y. W. C. A. Hi-Y and the Glee Club write-ups preeeed the locals which are last.

B Home Economics Department Situated on the third floor of the grade building, giving an excellent oppor- tunity for healthful exercises, is the Home Economics department of the Bedford schools. Three new sewing machines and four new gas burners have been added to the equipment this year to make room for the larger classes. An effort has been made in the grade work to develop such a technique, both in foods and clothing, as to permit the carrying on of more advanced work in the High School classes. , As a knowledge of the principles of nutrition is invaluable to the home- maker of tomorrow, the foods work has been handled largely from the standpoint of meal planning where groups of four girls plan, cook and serve well balanced meals. Special' emphasis is placed on food value and management problems. During the winter months, hot lunch, consisting of two hot dishes, was planned, cooked and served by the normal training girls. Four girls had entire charge of the lunch for a week at a time while the rest of the class went on with their regular work. The cultivation of good taste is the aim of the clothing classes. Thus a careful study is made of line and color in relation to the individual girl. An ef- fort is made to make each girl understand that beauty of dress does not necessar- ily depend upon elaborateness. The motto, Vulgarity in dress is an outward indication of the inward lack of good taste and breeding. is an accurage sum- mary of the ideals taught and carried out in the clothing classes. Manual Training There have been many new tools purchased for the manual training class this year on account of the increase in the number enrolled in this department. The schools have this line of work in construction for the purpose of general education. It not only gives the pupils knowledge of construction but also of design. Manual training has many branches, as the forging and making of metal work, leather work, wood work etc. Wood-work is the branch which is offered in our school. It happens to be one of the most interesting of the branches be- cause most common materials are made of wood. However, very few people know anything about transforming this material into useful articles. There are two phases of wood work, theory and practice. First is learning the proper form of handling tools, and then to be skillful with them. Another important item in woodwork is, systematic order. This is carried on by beginning with simple projects, and range from foot stools to library tables and cabinets. Another thing that is emphasized is system and order of procedure, which is very essential in woodwork. -O. W - Z'-fx: 4,23 E re JZ xnxx- .ww 1 Page Forty-two I r X! Normal Training Department Since its organization in 1913, the Normal Training course has been one of the most important courses in the high school. Its purpose is to prepare students for the work of teaching. This course is so practical and efficient that it attracts many students from neighboring towns. At present there are forty- nine enrolled in the Normal Training Department, twenty- seven Seniors and twenty-two Juniors. In the Junior year, subjects which the students will be required to teach in the rural schools, are taken up, along with their other work. In January and May comes the state tests which the Juniors Welcome with a frown and bid farewell with a smile. But they are not usually as bad as they first appear, as the ef- ficiency of this course enables the students to meet these dif- ficulties when they come. In the Senior year comes the remainder of the state tests, besides the twenty-four hours of observation and fifteen hours of practice teaching, which are required before a Normal Training Certificate is granted. This work is done under the supervision of the best teachers of the town and country. The Normal Training work this year has been under the supervision of Miss Bernice Wilcox, who has put forth every effort to make the work a success. - .: x: 'Al 3 ? 2 Eg 4? - -X J X- 'Z R' X --IW Page Forty-three ll- 7 iii if Af- ,-2 f' f ' ' T--: , -ivsg - f. 4 Q X fx' -1' i 'H' 1 l I ef B.

As a consequence on March the 16 the play was given and was deem- ed by all to be a success. How Cherry Blossom, was reared by a Japanese innkeeper, 110W she came i11 touch with a company of Americans and how a Japanese and American court- ship was conducted, were entertainingly and vividly portrayed by the musical numbers as well as the spoken parts. The sparkling oriental airs were very captivating and with the aid of the Geish girls and American chorus formed an exquisite setting for the operetta enhanced as it was by the Japanese costumes and make-ups. Much of the credit or the success of the venture goes of course to Miss Kindblade wl1o directed the musical numbers. However Mrs. Moody the declama- tory coach should not be overlooked as sl1e trained for two weeks tl1c oral de- livery. Neither should tl1e decorator, Rev. Flether, or the make-up man, Mr. Trousdale, be omitted for they contributed. In selecting the cast, painstaking care was devoted not only to singing abili- ty but also to acting ability. After due consideration, Eula Blake was chosen as Cherry Blossom, with Kenneth Chilcote as the gallant hero, John Henry Smith. The role of l'Ii0kGl110H the jealous guardian of his Japanese Tea Rose fell to Wayne Clark. Raymond Shum was designated as the pompus New York stock broker, Horace Wortl1i11gton, with the inclespensible Carl Cummings as his secretary, James Young. Grant Aiton was chosen as the ever watchful lover, Henry Foster Jones , while the part Jessica the not unwilling recip- ient of his attentions was given to Thelma Mcikle. The lot of haughty Togo the rejected Jap lover and politician fell to Russell Polton. While the Geisha Girls and American Chorus completed the cast. -:L 13. ff Q 'ci Yr new MW Page Forty-five: 4- .

Foot Ball Schedule and Scores. When Coach Bishoff sent out the first call for football can- didates on'September 1 the nucleus of the 1923 team was im- mediately available. All but six of the letter men of this team had returend. There were veteran candidates for both .line and backfield. Regardless of the loss of Avey, an indespens- able man at either line or backfield, and With eight letter men, all eager for a position on the 1924 team, hopes ran high for a successful season. However, pessimism stalked about the school building un- derclassmen, who were mindful of the failure of the 1923 team, held back from practice, not Willing to launch themselves with an uncertain future. g After the first game, a victory, and with Coach Bishoff and- Captain McCormick at the helm, the season started prop- itiously a sseveral promising candidates made known their deg termination to Wear a coveted UB . The eight letter men Were Working hard to maintain their position against the keen com- petition of promising and enthusiastic pig skin defenders. Undismayed by stinging defeats and seldom victories, the eleven , with hard and consistant training, forged foreward through the season to uphold the previously set standard of true sportsmanship. ' Not alone do victories constitute success, but the unveiling of real sportsmanship. So let us call the team of 1924 a success. Foot Ball Schedule and Scores.

Atfthe first practice four letter men were back, besides Nash from Conway. With much other promising material, Coach .Bishoff set to work to develop a championship team. From the first it was hard to tell what-to expect from the team. Games would be won until the last -few seconds, when they would slack up and loose by a narrow margin .d'.

The County Basketball Tournament was a grand success so far as interest and attendance is concerned. Neither our boys nor girls team were fortunate enough to win any trophies. ' The boys drew Clearfield, the winners of the tournament, in the first round and were put out of the running. Our girls fared somewhat better, winning from Gravity in the first round by a good sized margin. In the second you-nd they met New Market. It was a hard fought game, but,2 al- though close at first, Bedford seemed off form and was defeat- ed 36-17. , T e Although Bedford- won no trophies, competition was keen, and it was no disgrace to lose to the teams they did.

Our girls started practice about two weeks before Thanksgiving under the supervision of Mr. McLain. As usual, about twenty-four were out for practice, but when the team was picked, all but fourteen loyel ones dropped out. Mac practiced us mostly with passes and we didn't do much serommaging. After Thanksgiving, Coach Bishoff took our team in hand. He gave us some good hard practicing, and on Decdinber 15, we met Clearfield on our home floor. We showed them a merry chase and sent them home with defeat. Our next game was with Blockton. Our Star forward and Captain, Ruth Parrish, was unable to play, but we added another victory anyway. We kept on winning victories until January 30, when we niet Lenox on their floor. It was a sad day for us. A long tiresome ride over rough roads -and a defeat! However, we were good losers then and won from them when they came down here, on February 19. Our next and only defeat before the tournament was at Corning. A thirty- two mile ride over extremely rough roads just about got the best of two or three of our players, but they put up a good fight. Then came the County Tournament. We Won from Gravity, and although We lost from New Market, we got two players, Ruth Parrish and Emma Foley, placed on the All Tournament Team, and Virginia Pieringer received honorable mention. On Friday, March 13, we went to Stanton to a District Tournament. Satur- day a. m. we played Villisea and won. We played Stanton Saturday p. ni. and lost. Our girls did their best playing over there and Maude Foley got placed on the All Tournament first team. This was quite an honor, as there were about fourteen towns represented. Bedford went four 1'ounds and played in the semi- finals. Taking into consideration all the circumstances, we consider that we have had a. very successful season, and we wish the best of luck and success to the next year 's team.

From this field of contestants the team was selected which was to lead in the annual county race for the Cup. The process of weeding out a squad of workable size was not any easy task for any coach, but as it happened, Howard was serving his third year as baseball mentor and he knew his material from start to finish. Rainy weather of unusual persistaney hindered the men in displaying their best form, and converted the diamond into a sea of mud. Of the men who reported for baseball at the first turnout, several were former varsity players, the majority have taken positions on the county championship the previous year. This helped considerably in the formation of a neuclens around which the varsity team was built. The squad of 1924 was credited with being the best team in Taylor County, from the standpoint of championship winners the former year and of general baseball ability. Upon looking into the future, Bedford's hopes for another championship team do not seem ill-founded. Only four men are absent this year who fought for the purple and white in 192-l. The first game was with Bloekton, and was one of the best games of the sea- son. After thirteen innings of breathless excitement the game ended and Bed- ford lost three to two. h Bedford next crossed bats with Lenox, but again met defeat to the tune of twelve to eight. The last pre-tournament contest was lost to Clearfield in a six inning game. Score, six to one. With such a record Bedford's hope of winning the tournament was dark indeed. Further gloom was spread when it was found that the first clash was to be with the fast Lenox team, but strange to relate, B. H. S. proved a dark horse and came off with the long end of a four to five score in seven hotly contested innings. Excitelnent was at fever pitch when the finals arrived. It was a. tense moment when the first' batter walked to the plate. However, the weather de- cided to 1'ain and killed the game in the fifth inning with the score standing seven to six in Bedford 's favor. This makes the second consecutive season when Bedford has won the treas- ured trophy. Hopes are high that its permanent residence will be at Bedford following this year 's victorious season.

X X ' ' ,fff XX, 1 ,, VE: 5 Q - With the Tennis Team in 1924 The Tennis team for 1924 was, perhaps, the first in the history of the school. Although tennis is comparatively a new sport i11 the high schools, it is rapidly gaining ground until now it is included as a. part of the athletics in all larger sehools. For a first year team, ours was of the best, proving skillful enough to place a beautiful trophy in Bedford's possession. The initial meet was in the Mt. Ayr High School. Aiton and Thompson of Bedford triumphantly swept up everything in sight, winning all single and doubles, while their opponents were sent home to be content with but one Victory which they had difficulty in taking from our second team. In the lfVebster City eontest our tennis racket wielders again romped through to victory. At Tax-kio, Bedford was iiidoxnitable and although the competition was of the best, they brought home the baeon as before. The sting of defeat was first felt at the Ames meet. Even though defeated the Ames meet was really :1 blessing in disguise. Spurred on by this setback, both Thompson and Alton tore through Tarkio, Hopkins, Gower, Mt. Ayr and Cedar Rapids to victory in all the single matches. But again Bedford struek. a snag and as previously, that snag was Ames. However, our tennis athletes did not seem content with all their walk aways and entered in the inter-state meet at Blanchard. In the prelimina.rys, Richardson and Loy who composed Bedford's second team, seemed to be unable to keep up with the pace which the Tarkio players set and were eliminated. Nevertheless in the final round Andy girded up his loins While Sonny spit on his hands and together they quickly and quietly subdued the Tarkio, Missouri, Champions and eopped the doubles. In the singles the Bedford's star of fortune rose unabated and when the smoke of battle cleared away, Aiton and Thompson found themselves pitted against each other in the finals. However, Andy did not seem to care to disgrace his colleague before strangers so they tossed a. eoin. That is the reason Sonny is now sporting a bright and shining medal throughout Bedford and vicinity. This closed the season to the regret of many who wished to see Bedford keep on winning indefinitely. But siuee our team were. not Seniors they were able to place their raekets on the shelf and look forward with a smile to another Victor- ious season in 1925. NV. O.

Came To Have an Annual For several long weary Weeks the Annual Staff has been laboring to accumu- late money and material so that Bedford might be blessed with a High School Annual. It would be rather difficult to determine just when the agitation be- gan but nevertheless it came to a climax, when Professor Street called the Senior Class into conference and put the proposition before them that if they could insure 35500.00 on the project, an Annual would be assured. V Naturally, the first step was to appeal to the generosity of the business men. Although, success here was doubtful, yet, about 35180.00 worth of advertising was purchased by them. So much for a beginning. Next the Seniors undertook the selling of the Country Gentleman . It might be said here that a salesman from the Curtis Publishing Company visited the High School and presented the proposition that 50 per cent of the sales price of the magazine would go to the Senior Class for Annual expenses. This opportunity was immediately takenl' up. The class was divided into three contesting teams, subscription blanks were placed in their hands and the work was on. As many citizens of Bedford will confess, the town was thoroughly canvassed as well as the adjacent rural districts. Wlieii the smoke of battle cleared away, the Seniors found themselves 3540.00 to the good. With about 55230.00 obtained and 3270.00 yet to get from the sales price of the Annual 061.753, prospects looked bright indeed. Committees were appointed and in about a week the returns began to roll in. From 25230.00 the fund swelled to 35300.00 and thence to Sli500.00. Even here the loyalty of the High School students did not pause until this mark was far exceeded. Euthused by this, the Staff set to work to- produce the best Annual yet. A printer from Barnard was interviewed and material a11d covering was selected. Witli a two color scheme, head and tail pieces, an attractive arrange- ment of panels Qthanks to Miss Hollowayj, ca1'toons and so forth, the Annual this year is much different in many respects to former Pointers . Jokes and snapshots were then called for with a ready response. In short, great enthusiasm was displayed in the compilation of The Pointer . Following the custom in neighboring schools it was decided that students should pay for their own photographs. Accordingly a photographer was sum- moned from Creston who offered very reasonable terms.. A studio Was fitted up in the High School building thus allowing a. quick disposal of this part of the business. Miss Damewood was appointed general faculty advisor and critic with C0111- plete charge of the literary department, Miss Holloway of the art department and Mr. McLain of the business department.

This record may reach from earth to heaven, And maybe not that far, But let us make their prophecy Before they've crossed the bar. Ruby Jones 'tis likely, a school 'mom' will be, And she says- Nelle Hensley is patterning after me. Beulah Philips will probably head the 'Normal Training Club ', While Angeline VVl11lJG1'111l.ltG will govern her mother 's old Wash tub. Thelma Meikle will sing in Paris, before the lasses fair, And Betty Wynne with pleasu1'e, will be combing her hubby 's hair. Marjorie Smith will in tl1e president 's cabinet reside, W'lxile Ople VVil1tG1'Il.11lll17S voice, will ring in the senate wide. Luella Martin with honor will take the stenographers chair. And Bertha Campbell in business will try to do her share. Mary Gant's proud fame will be heard the world round, When Marie Kent gets her hubby, the lost will sure be found. Arvilla Burch will be another school 'mom' great, But Maude Foley will try to hold an office of the state. Ruth Gunson is going to be the beauty of them all, Blanche Hartman will spend her time trying to get small. Mildred is another Hartman, she'd like to be small, too, But Flavia Hopson says, It's the wrong thing for to do. Constance Jones will make a wonderful Red Cross Nurse, And Opal Layman will own a white and haunted house. Helen Mathew must eat more to keep from getting poor, I also think Marjorie Meikle should eat a little more. Mae Miller will probably learn more about debate, But Ruth Parrish so brave, will guard the Golden Gate. Anna Stewart will live a cowgirl's lonesome life, Bessie Stoner will be some good old farmer 's wife. Wlien Minnie Talkington gets to be so strong and tall, She'll no doubt wonder why, Hazel Weingarth is so small. Now Ruby Woodya1'd, 'tis likely, will never have to strive, But Cloris Rush will be the last in the Class of '25, Should this prophecy all turn out to be the facts, It would make Bedford able to exist on carpet tacks. The prophecy for some is very great For others it may be less, But girls, don 't wait till it 's too late, A To start on the road of progress. V. B. L. . lugs, Im ,,. -4...u,pLg-ppp?
