Senior Class History 1928
Four long, and yet four short years ago, the majority of us, the Class of '28, entered the portals of B. H. S. as Freshmen. Perhaps, we were best recognized then, by our unlimited ability to ask questions.
Even so, our orators launched forth in their oratorical careers; John Plummer as Public Discussion representative and both he and Geneva Raum as subs in Varsity Debating.
All too soon, the year ended, and we in turn called the new entrants Freshies. That year preparations to fathom the depths of Latin contests, Athletics, Dramatics and Oratory began.
Carl Tovey came to the assistance of John and Geneva in Debating, while John distinguished himself as both South Central and Public Discussion representative.
Carl Rainbolt began his work on the "mat", and Irene Mitchell probed deeper into the "dead language" and made a name for herself in the contests.
But alas, that year, too, passed.
Vacation time whirled by and we entered that year of Work, Work, Work. We were Juniors! I and all that the name implies. Most important was that day, that never-to-be-forgotten day when we organized and selected Miss Florence Emery to guide us in our good times. A few days later Cleon Cogswell was elected to the office of President; Dick Fish, Vice President; Ruth Pitman, Secretary and John McGannon, who has foresaken us, Treasurer. Our class flowers were sweet peas and our colors, orchid and silver.
The main events of the year were our Junior Party at Tarry Park, where the girls showed the boys how to play baseball and the Junior-Senior Banquet at the Greystone.
That year we boasted Carl Rainbolt in Wrestling, Bryan Furman as the Public Discussion representative, Kathryn Tofaute and John Plummer South Central Contestants, Geneva Raum on the Girl's Debate team and Artie Klein apd Robert Sears on the Basketball team.
Wayne Criswell specialized in Track, and to the Varsity Debate team were added James McFadden and Cleon Cogswell.
Another year rolled by and last September we entered Bedford High School as illustrious, intelligent, dignified and all-important Seniors.
Class organization occurred during the early part of the school year, at which time we chose Miss Georgia Mitchusson for Sponsor. Our class leaders are John Plummer, President; Howard Hoover, Vice President; Ruth Pitman, Secretary and Dick Fish, Treasurer.
The next thing to occupy our minds was jewelry; then pictures. The first attempt in the field of money-making was a stand at the Lawrence County Fair, where all kinds of "eats" were sold.
Other than that, the Seniors took care of a stand at the Industrial League games and one at the Sectional Tournament.
The participation in the various activities this year is worthy of the highest kind of praise.
Our Wrestling team boasts Carl Rainbolt, Olin McPike and William Clark. Helen Kruchten and Geneva Raum partially compose the Girls' Debate team, while Carl Tovey, James Mc Fadden, John Plummer, Bryan Furman and Geneva Raum are on the Varsity team. Frances Mann is Editor of this book; Ruth Pitman, Editor of the "Student"; and Kathryn Tofaute, Editor of the Handbook published this year.
In dramatics the Class of '28 has predominated. We are especially proud of Helen Graham, James Bullock, Kathryn Tofaute, John Plummer, Nancy Duncan, Billy McCormick and James Mcfadden. James Bullock is an adorable lover and Jimmie Mcfadden and John Plummer will in all probability be careful of widows.
James McFadden and Helen Graham were County and District representatives in the Lincoln Oratorical Contest, and Kathryn Tofaute went to the State in the "Way to Peace" Contest. John Plummer served again as Discussion contestant for B.H.S.
Last but not least are our athletes. In this field praise must be extended to Theodore Pentzer, Robert Sears and Arthur Klein. Wayne Criswell is Captain of this year's Track team.
Now, diplomas in hand we are ready to start on that long, long journey of Life. Some of us will in all probability go to college while others of us will take up directly our chosen life work.
With all sorts of pleasant memories we look back over our high school days, but more important to us now is that which the mysterious Future holds in store for us.
THE SENIOR EDITOR.
