Senior Class FRANCES ELIZA BELL “RRITZ”’ Athletic Association, °’24-'25; Literary Society, 23-25. Frances does not talk very much, but when it comes to reading she’s ‘in the ring,” for she is a regular book worm. Frances may be likened to a Yale lock—‘‘a Key” is neces- sary to the opening of her heart. Favorite Saying: “TI can’t be bothered.’ NELLIE RUTH BENNETT “RUFUS” Athletic Association, ’25. Ruth has not been with us long enough to get very well acquainted, but we are quite sure of one thing, and that is: she will never change her name. By this we do not mean she will be an old maid. Everyone wishes her the best of success and happiness. Favorite Saying: ‘Read this French for me. JOHN SALE BIBB “Dizzy” Athletic Association, ’21-’25; Literary Society, a= 20; Football, 21,. °22, °23;: Captain of Foot- ball Team, ’22, ’23; Basketball Team, ‘22, ’23, “20. Baseball “Team, '22, °23, “253° Track, 25; President ‘‘B”’ Club, ’25; Athletic Council, ‘ Captain Baseball Team, ’22, ’23, ’25. John is by far the most popular boy in high school. Everyone has a tender feeling down in his heart for “Dizzy.” He has more “horse sense” than anyone in the school, for he has shown it by the amount of studying he does and the marks he gets. John is the best look- ing boy in high school, but we must not add any more, for when he was informed of such he got the “swell head’ so bad he could not even get his hat on. He has excelled in ath- letics, and the school will certainly feel his absence when he is gone. “To know him is to love him.” Favorite Saying: “TY just ’clare.”’

Secretary-Treasurer Senior Class Class Motto: Vouloir C’est Pouvoir OFrFICERS Class Poem It may be good-bye forever, Old schoolmates and friends; Our friendships we hate to sever, But our high school journey ends. We've reached the goal for which we've striven In the past four years of our lives, And a place in the world to many of us will be given, And we must battle with struggles and strifes. With the guidance of our teachers dear, We have marched bravely on, And we find, with all good cheer, We, at last, the battle have won. Our school days we'll never forget, Not until the day we die, And those days we'll never regret, Those days at Bedford High. Dear Bedford Hi, we're leaving you, Though it almost breaks our hearts, But I s’pose everyone’s blue When he from a loved one departs. LENA MARSHALL, 25. Class Colors: Pink and Green : . President .

Senior Class CAPERS EDWARDS BOAN “OErp”’ Athletic Association, ’22-’25; Literary Society, ’23-’25; Assistant Business Manager of Annual; Debating Team, ’25. Capers, in his thirst for knowledge, is not only a splendid student, but also a debater of note. Although he is the youngest member of our class, he is one of the leaders of it. He has won medals for the best “Essay on Bedford County”; boys’ reading medal, 1924- 1925; mathematics medal, 1924, and the U. D. C. medal, 1924. The students like him very much and wish him the best of luck. Favorite Saying: “Age before beauty.” VIRGINIA MOSBY BURKS “BRIGHTNESS’’—‘‘MONKEY”’ Athletic Association, ’22-’25; Literary Society, ’23-’25; Secretary-Treasurer of Junior Class, 724; Treasurer of Annual Staff. Virginia was chosen as the most attractive girl in high school, and no one who knows “Brightness” could think of her as not being. She has scores of friends, everybody loves her and she is one we would hate to lose. She is not hard to look at either. When it comes to playing a piano she can evermore knock one cold. If she is ever given anything to do for her class she does it faithfully and well. In short, “Monkey” is just a good all- round sport. Favorite Saying: “TI know? ’ DURAND CRAWFORD BURNETT “PINKY” —“CoTrron Lor” Athletic Association, ’22-’25; Literary Society, °23-'25; Football Team, ’23,): ’24; “B”’ Club, 725. Here is one of the jolliest boys in our class, always having something jolly and bright to say to everyone. He has participated in ath- letics with much success. He is not only pop- ular among the boys, but especially among the opposite sex. Give him a pretty girl, a slick floor, and some music and “Durn” is in his glory. Favorite Saying: “Oh, L-a-udy!”
