These lettermen have contributed their part in helping Bedford High again bring its name near the top of the list of important schools throughout the state of Iowa, athletically speaking, after a lapse of many years. In our school's three major sports, footba1+l, basketball and baseball, some of, the boys have had the honor of playing four years, others only one or two. Neveratheless, without each of them, regulars and substitutes alike, we might never have seen the fine brand of ball playing that was displayed on theifields and on the hardwoods. Never lacking in sportsman- ship or fighting spirit, this group has supplied many thrills for the spectators and much joy for the old grads.
