FRANCES MOORE “Frances” Returning to Bedford for another year after graduating in °36, Frances took a stiff schedule of Home Ec., Math IV and French. With all the dignity of a returning alumna, she quietly took her place in classes and never raised so much as a stir, welcome back, just the same. She belonged to the Athletic As- sociation for five years; the Hi-Y in 35, °36, and ’37, and the Literary So- ciety in 736; and played baske tball in “BNE CATHERINE WHITE “Kitty” Kitty graduated in 736 only to come back to her old Alma Mater to take Chemistry and Home Ec. She was an active supporter of school activities, be- ing a member of the Athletic Associa- tion for five years, of the Literary So- ciety of 736, and of the Hi-Y in 734, 35, and 36. Always a good sport and always popular, Kitty was elected Presi- dent of the Hi-Y and Treasurer of the Senior Class in ’36. We were glad to have her company again this year.

CLASS WILL The Class of 1937 about to die salutes you. We, the Class of 1937 of Bedford High School, being in full possession of mental faculties as we may have, do hereby devise, will and bequeath this our last will and testament, thereby annulling any and all will or wills heretofore by us made. To the Faculty and all in authority at Bedford High School, who have so capably and kindly guided us through our trials, tribulations and triumphs, we leave our best wishes and heartfelt appreciation. To the Junior Class we hereby bequeath: Our special seats in Chapel, where we received guidance and inspiration from the faculty and loyal citizens. The privilege of wearing the honorary caps and gowns next June 2nd, 1938. The honor and glory of appearing in the Senior Play. The privilege of acting as running secretary to our principal during the study periods. The two Home Rooms in which the day’s lessons are frantically prepared in the first fifteen minutes of school. The numerous parties and picnics enjoyed exclusively by the Senior Class. We are now ready to will the following individual legacies: Ira Watson leaves his fine athletic ability to that all around athlete Hume Dortch. Owen Keeler wills his high scholastic attainment to Fritz Heller. After due thought and consideration, it was decided that Eleanor Hicks should leave her title as best all around girl in the Senior Class to any girl in the Junior Class who is deemed worthy by that body. Mary Truxell bequeaths her Presidency of the Girl’s Hi-Y Club to Anne Martin. We feel certain that Miss Martin will prove perfectly capable of executing the duties of that office. Lloyd Carter leaves his title of the biggest bluff of the Class to the mighty John Noell. James May tenderly bequeaths his ever present dictionary and his ever ready flow of language to Douglas Padgett, who has already developed a unique way of expressing himself. June Mackey leaves her frivolous, flirtatious manner to a girl we feel certain will more than follow in the somewhat flighty footsteps of Miss Mackey. That certain girl is Judy Borden. Billy Anderson sadly wills his love for the fairer sex to that up and coming young Romeo, Allan Ford. It was decided by unanimous vote that G. D. Hopkins should leave his title as the laziest boy in the Senior Class to Billy Leftwitch. Lastly our lovable Senorita, Eileen Brent, leaves her way with the ‘Rose of Mexico City” to Page Marshall in the hope that she will meet with as much success as the aforesaid individual claims to have had. To this our will and testament the Class of 1937 does, on this thirty-first day of May, set its hand and seal. ALEX LISTOE, Class Testator.
