Never-the less, he was unzmfraid to mix with the biggest of them in practice and al- though he occassionally came up with :L black eye you never got to see what the other fellow looked like. Could dope up plays that caused the oppon- ents to think the Bedford Football team used magic. Met victory and defeat with the same demeanor, a broad grin. MCCORMICK, ' ' Mac ' '-Captain, Full- buck. He always put the pep into the team. Hit the line hard and made 11. hole if there wasn't o11e there. His last year of football. MARSH-Captaill-elect, Hnlfback. He was a. sure and hard taekler. An injured shoulder kept him out of the game part of the season, but l1e came back strong. Has one more year to play and should give good account of himself. - fifxf r f JQ ? if 'az 6 Nxgx- N 'Ixus

pf , ag 'xi f f , T- y Miss Cherry Blossom As some time had elapsed since Bedford High School had staged an operetta, Miss Kindblade, the musical director, deemed it an opportune time to unite the efforts of the glee clubs in presenting the Japanese Comedy, Miss Cherry Blossom. 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:

7' ' 7 , 'iv ,W CLARK-Quarterback. His fourth year of football. A good open field runner. Made the Clark- special famous. Played a heady game at quarterback, and gained more yard- age than any other back. His place will be hard to fill. BU RKS-End, Fullback. An excellent blocker and a, sure tackler. Played end most of the sea- son, but shifted to fullback. Should make a. good baekfield man for next year. BLANE-Tackle, Halfbaek Put all he had into the game. His nerve made up for his size. Never known to take time out . Made his first touchdown in last quarter of his last game. A good utility man. .-cg! A, su R. -A-7 ii 1 .
