We wonder how so small and delicate a form can maintain such wonderful mentality which still imparts to others a far- reaching knowledge. Those who have the good fortune to come under the influ- ence of her teaching, will possess thereafter a gift which naught can take away. We who are to “Leave our out-grown shells by life’s un- resting sea,’ will take with us a heart filled with the deepest appreciation, respect, and love for this beloved Teacher. a. ae en le Mary Stuart Hurt, Editor-in-Chief; Esther Marsh, Assistant Editor-in-Chief; Stuart Saunders, Business Man- | ager; William O.

Nellie was elected the most attractive girl in the Senior Class, and any one who knows her, can prove this to you. She is also an unusually pretty girl, and her entire unconsciousness of the fact increases her attractiveness. Always happy and full of fun, Nellie goes her way and leaves a word of cheer and a gay smile behind her. To this lovable girl, we wish the best that life can give, for she deserves it. Favorite saying: “That ain’t even nice.” 14 Senior Class JOHN HOPKINS “JOHN” Athletic Association; Literary Society Although John is a little bashful in re- gard to the opposite sex.

Margaret is a girl of small stature, but very attractive. Some day she hopes to be tall and slim, but that can not hinder the attractiveness of the small Margaret. A girl who is willing, unselfish, and faithful is a girl whom we all love, and Margaret answers to these qualifications. The mem- bers of the Senior Class elected her as the best sport and the best all-round of the girls. Those who do not know her intimate- ly can judge her by these facts.

Underneath the surface there is the true, serious-mind- ed side of: her character. She is always the same, loyal, faithful and true—din other words, a good friend. She possesses the perseverance and de- termination which enables her to accom- plish whatever she attempts. Her winning personality and attractiveness have made for her many friends, especially among the “Stuarts.” Favorite saying: “For crying out loud.” rit LF ’ : | i} {booms | | SZ | (aan, PANT Uae ha oa | H HI in Ma PiRBaE D Hittin Hi i PH HTT eT | H HG | Hi tf il ti Hy HEH Hy Hi He He Hi HI Ht | — a If on ie FS (Seay Lb Senior Class JAMES ROBERT NICHOLS INTCKe President of Senior Class; President of Athletic Association, ’26; Athletic Association, ’22-'23-’24- 725-26; Literary Society, ’25-’26; Football Team, °24; Captain of Football Team, °25; Baseball Team, 2425-26; Basket-ball Team, ’26; ‘SB’ Club, ’25- 26. “Nick,” without a doubt, is the most pop- ular boy in the Senior Class.

He has a host of friends, especially among the girls on account of his cheer- fulness, good disposition and—er—his good looks. If old Bedford Hi could have had a swimming team, Fritz would have shined, because he “ain’t nothing but a duck when ’ it comes to paddling.” Favorite saying: “Shoot.” MARY VIRGINIA RAMSEY NDB, Literary Society, ’25-’26; Athletic Association, 4295-726. Mary is a great sport and is always will- ing to do anything for:her friends. She is such a jolly girl, and makes every one around her happy. She has always been a favorite, especially with the opposite sex. We wish her much success after she leaves us. ; Favorite saying: “Oh, I knew that!” STUART SAUNDERS “Sino ein Annual Staff; Athletic Association; President of Literary Society; Valedictorian. Stuart came into our Senior Class. Al- though he has sailed down the stream of school life for only one year, he has im- pressed every one as an all-round good fel- low. “Stoot” is not much of a talker, but when it comes to thinking he is hard to beat. Whatever Stuart’s walk in life may be, we predict only good. ee eee Favorite saying: “I declare I don’t know,” 1 ’ Senior Class JING, SMPs Seeing Literary Society, ’24-°25; Athletic Association, 23-26.

Favorite saying: “Did you ever?” THELMA SPRADLIN “BEN” Literary Society; Athletic Association Thelma is just a happy go lucky girl who knows how to make life “A flower bed of ease.’ Despite the fact that she allows nothing to worry her, she gets there just the same. Her one great quality is her love for the men.

Although “Bil- ly” is small in stature, he is a good sport and a splendid student. He is also very fond of the ladies, so when he leaves us his fate is left to that fair sex.

Although Henry has (just) recently started on his career as a ladies’ man, he seems to have made very good progress, for we know one young lady who blushes when his name is mentioned. Still we can’t blame her, for we all like Henry for his cheerfulness and he always has a good word for every one. Although Henry is slow and steady we are sure that he will get there just the same. Favorite saying: “Shucks !” MARY REBECCA WILSON “Mary Beck,” “FLrumpy” Athletic Association, °23-'26; Literary Society, °24- 725; French Medal, ’26. Mary Rebecca is a fine student, as well as one of the most attractive girls in our class. She has a giggle “all her own” which will ever be remembered by her friends and classmates.

Favorite saying: “I don’t believe it.” ih Senior Class LAURA ODESSA WOODFORD DESSA™ Literary Society, 26; Athletic Association, ’26 Odessa is good looking and attractive too, And quite independent is she, A friend both loyal and true What more could we ask of you?

Favorite saying: “Well, good night!” WILLIE WRIGHT © WitintEss Athletic Association; Literary Society Willie hails from the country, but is a jolly good fellow, and has many friends among both sex.

The house was attractively decorated to suit the occasion. About 9:00 o’clock the fun began and proms were the chief entertainment. An old graveyard proved to be the favorite retreat for the couples. Most of the promenaders visited the old witch by the fireplace to have their fortune told, and also tried their luck at the Kitchen Contest. Billy Rucker had the best success in guessing what kind of spice-the little bags held and won first prize. Elizabeth Spradlin captured the girl’s first prize with her beautiful blue pierrette costume, and Bob Morrison dressed as a Spanish cavalier won the boy’s prize. About 11:30 o'clock orange ice and little chocolate cakes were served, and the party broke up at 12:00. cS KENNETH LATIMER JAMES RAYMOND [Rost OFFICERS MEMBERS ALMA ANDERSON LuLA ANDERSON Mamie BELL GEORGE BucK ELIZABETH CARTER FRANCES COCKE RutH CUNDIFF CLypE DoNALD HALLiE FIzEr JAMES RayMoND Frost EarLe Hupson Mary IsRAEL EpitH JARVIS THELMA Kipp KENNETH LATIMER LuciLe LATIMER Henry CrLay Loury Catvin Lucx FRAN CES MARKHAM Mary MARSHALL Mary Witt 26 PTTNUND Peat te eA ee, OF Pe] President a aaa oe Vice-President MARY, Lore RICH ADSO Niece cert eee eres Secretary-Treasurer Evita MusGRovE Dorts NICHOLS GLADYS OVERSTREET RAYMOND OVERSTREET NorINE PARKER ELMER PATTERSON KATHLEEN PENTACOST ELMER POWERS Mary Lee RICHARDSON LoRENE SAUNDERS VIRGINIA SAUNDERS Mary Burorp SCHENK Roy SUTHERLAND CLypE SUTHERLAND STUART THOMAS EVELYN TURNER GocGIN TURNER Carr WHITE Harry WILMORE Octt WIMMER SSVI) aNOW ( JHdOS Sessler RR OA LETT LOTS er ET Wyre pa a = — - ; 2 a AT er eet LL The Sophomore’s Curriculum A is for Algebra and all such bunk, If we aren't pitied we'll surely flunk!

The competitors were Room 35 and Room 30. Each subject counted 10, and deportment 40. Order in line and cleanli- ness also counted 10. Room 30 won in deportment, Algebra, Science, order in line and cleanliness which netted them 80 points. Room 35 won in Latin, English, and History which netted them 30 points. bay Although Room 35 was hopelessly defeated, they were good sports, for they entertained Room 30 at a picnic at Forbes’ Mill which both classes en- joyed very much. We hope that our successors to the Freshmanship will wage war in the form of a contest, because it is not only fun, but also beneficial.

Father Time enters and they send for Good Fortune to help them settle Earth’s affairs. Father Time and Good Fortune decide to visit one of the modern homes. In a modern home they find Bully and Meekness, an up-to-date married couple, quarreling for something new. Dolly and her friends are also com- plaining about the lack of excitement. They do not appreciate Cupid and the other wonderful blessings which have been bestowed on Earth, so they are banished to a land where Science holds complete sway, and Cupid disap- pears. They enter a machine invented by Senator Bing, and are changed into other forms. John Scientist discovers a powder to stimulate the memory and they long for the old world where Cupid reigned supreme. Good Fortune and I’ather Time having taught Earth’s people a lesson, transfer them back to the old world, and restore happiness to all at Dolly Extreme’s birthday party.
