The 1981-82 school year offered a va- riety of 15 clubs and organizations to choose from.

Even though the number of clubs and organizations has decreased this year by two, with the temporary elimination of the Bedford Christian Fellowship Club and the Science Club, students have continued to support and organize the major clubs and organizations. Four of Bedford’s clubs and organizations have been in existence since 1923. The Dabbler, BHS’s third yearbook, pictured four clubs; the Bedford Hi Y Club, Friendship Club, Glee Club and the Orchestra Club. The membership was made up of the 110 students en- rolled at that time. Clubs and organiza- tions come and go with enrollment and in- terests of students—but the idea itself is obviously here to stay. 20 Clubs and Organizations
