Mr. Crider served longer than any other principal, from 1940-1958, and then served as superintendent until 1976. He grew up in Bradford, Tennessee, where he attended Bradford High School. After graduation, he enrolled in Murray State in Murray, Kentucky. At Murray State he obtained a Bachelor of Science in History and Physical Education. He also received 45 hours in School Administration Supervision. Mr. Crider earned his Master of Science Degree at George Peabody College in Nashville. Mr. Crider first came to BHS as basketball coach and also taught history. After serving in World War II, he returned to take the job of principal. 12 Any former student of Miss Annie Wista knows that she gave one hundred percent of her- self each day of her teaching. She. in turn, demanded no less from her students. Her main aim was to instill knowledge to every pupil: the eager and the reluctant. Miss Annie Wista is an important part of the history of Bells High School. She graduated from BHS and returned to give the school 35 years of her dedicated teaching in the areas of math, English, and Latin. 13 In Memory Rex Allen Crossnoe We cannot comprehend the mystery of life and death. We can however, comprehend the meaning of friendship. Rex was a friend who shared his life with us without many words. But through friendship, the memorable experiences are born and shared in silence.
