Here we have worked, played, made friends; and, above all, here we have been admitted to the sacred fellowship of learning. Whether it be poetry or machinery, language or science, we have all found something to interest us, and upon these interests we build shining futures. We leave Bedford High School a little sad, but proud to have been a part of it all. We leave here with hearts full of gratitude for those great friends, our teachers, who have helped us so much. We leave behind us this book, em- bodying the spirit of our feeling for our school. Page Two 3 : UT Pool 3 BEDFORD PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM bo Pecceraae rFAGwE? Mr. A. G.

For instance, the president of our class, Maurice O’Donohoe, who has gone our Third-Term President Roosevelt one better and served four terms. But, before we get too deep in the events of high school, let us look back on the ‘“‘good old days” in graded school. That famous riot over Jack Robertson, the glamour boy of the Fourth Grade, was quite an event. All the girls centered their attention on Jack instead of the teachers and the lessons. In the Fifth Grade occurred that hair-pulling contest that excels any fight ever staged in Madison Square Garden. ‘The two hair pullers were Anne Johnson and Isabel Key. The cause was Jack Scott, the usual cause of fights between girls. The strike that occurred in the Sixth Grade was too, too, disgraceful. Who would think that the good citizens of our class would revolt simply because they had to tug a great big geography book home every night? ‘This was a blot on our history and the less said, the better. While all these things were happening over in the elementary school, the mem- bers of the class who attended Liberty Academy were also making history. Quincy Heck, the famous singer of the Seventh Grade, led all the singing and was really good—believe it or not. It is too bad he didn’t keep on with his singing, for we believe he would have been another Caruso. Lucy Holland and Doris Carter were indeed ardent admirers of Wallace Jen- nings in those days. Reginald Powers was admired, also, by Frances Thomas and Adelia Belle Coffey. We remember especially the heartbreak that Elizabeth Markham caused Hubert Roberts in the Sixth Grade when she made one of her usual winter trips to Florida. When the day rolled around for us to leave the Academy many regretted it. In fact, some girls shed tears, one of these being Helen Zimmerman. Our high school life has been a combination of hard work and fun—most of it fun, in such forms as picnics and dances. Who will ever forget the picnics at Timber- lake or Dr. Lyle’s party for the Seniors of Bedford County? Who can ever forget those happy moments at football games when we thrilled to see one of the team carry that ball over the goal line for the winning touchdown? We will never forget these and neither will the historians who someday will write the history of B. H. S. The great battle between the Otters and the Terriers, at Vinton, in the fall of °41, will have its place in history. What a victory! It was one which every member of the Class of ’42 had longed to see. Surely, those eleven Senior boys who composed first team will be proclaimed heroes in B. H. S. history just as MacArthur and Kelly will be in the world’s history. The Girls’ Basketball Team will also go down in history as the best for many years. Captain Emily O’Donohoe’s exploits, as she led that “‘rough and ready” team on to fame, will not be forgotten. Neither will historians forget that “‘no hit, no run” baseball game which Co- Captain Maurice O’Donohoe pitched at Natural Bridge. It can never be said that the Class of °42 lacked athletes. Mildred Stafford, the Softball Champion of B. H. S., has established a reputation for herself as an athlete by her handling of the bat. We only hope that she will not have occassion in the future to handle the rolling pin as well as she has handled the bat during her high school days. We are proud to have in our class a genius in the person of Jane Smith. AI- though Jane missed school more than anyone in the class, read during classes, and seldom carried a book home, she now stands at the head of her class as valedictorian. Dot McClintock is one girl who has furnished the Senior Class with laughs by her many sudden outbursts in classes. But, that one in chemistry topped all the others. Mr. Partlow promised us a written lesson on a certain day, but on that day he said, “I think you can just forget all about that written lesson I promised you.’ Dot was so happy that she couldn’t control herself, and she couldn’t help saying, ““Mr. Partlow, you are the sweetest thing; I could just squeeze you.”” Was Mr. Partlow’s face red! Strange as it seems there is one girl in our class who claims that Cupid has never pierced her heart. You guessed it—Dot Watson. However, that’s no sign that she hasn’t caused the hearts of Jack Schubert and Cleo Simpkins to flutter. Clifton Overstreet has become known as the best sleeper in our class. Clifton, we want your formula for not snoring and not being caught by the teachers. We believe it is practice over a period of four years. Everybody knows that Mr. Painter is a great huntsman and fisherman, and for two years we have enjoyed listening to his hunting experiences and fish stories in history class. But, no one except Bobby Wright has ever dared to comment on Mr. Painter’s skill as a huntsman. One day in class, Mr. Painter said, ‘“‘I went hunting yesterday, and I came across a beautiful covey of birds, and do you know, as I came closer and closer, those birds sat there as if they were in the safest place in the world?” Bobby Wright replied, ‘“They were.”’ All of us have heard about those famous lovers, Antony and Cleopatra, and Romeo and Juliet, but we have actually witnessed a love affair that will be just as famous in history. It started in our Sophomore year in English class with a few winks and smiles. ‘This romance which has been growing more serious every day has hurt no one but poor Miss Bibb. Miss Bibb had to say, ‘ “‘Donald, turn around and concentrate on your lesson,” so often that she developed a severe case of laryn- gitis. Never to be forgotten is the speech that Nelson Johnson made in history. It seems that while Nelson was studying his speech, he was interrupted by Anne Johnson, this one was his niece, who wanted Uncle ‘“‘Nookie”’ to tell her a story. So ‘‘Nookie”’ told her a story—the story of how he tells Anne Johnson good night. It was difficult for little Anne to understand, so he explained it over and over. The next day he began his speech this way, “I just take her in my arms and—oh, gosh, I’m all mixed u ou z Now that we have come to the end of our school life at B. H. S., and we look back and remember the little incidents that have occurred, we realize that our school days have not been all toil and labor, but have been days filled with good times as well. We know that we have established a reputation for ourselves as the most un- dignified class that ever graduated from Bedford High School and we don’t mind at all; however, we hope that we will also be remembered as the first class which gave up class night for a banquet. We are proud that we have sacrificed something for our great country, America. Page Fifteen Page Sixteen 1 Notsotast, sie. hi i a x ii ill it r= es : Covington’s gift to B. H. S. 5. Meet Edith, B. H.

Page Twenty We have worked, sighed, played and laughed together for four years which seemed long and trying, but now which seems only a short interval of time. We have grown to be one big family in Our co-operation with each other, in classes and on the play- ground, but as we look backward we realize that it was mainly through our clubs and sports that we came to understand each other so well. Our school spirit reached its peak when we stood cheering for a touchdown, or sat shouting at the top of our voices when Bedford hit a basket to score a point. ‘Together we have stored up fond memories which will live with us and give us hours of pleasure when we turn back the pages of time to glance again at our cherished high school days. In the following pages we portray a glimpse of the life we have lived, loved and will remember always.

She finds the place to be any- thing but a quiet retreat when people suddenly begin to walk in and out of the house, appear and disappear, sometimes mysteriously, and sometimes for perfectly logical reasons. Miss Greenwood’s niece, Claire, and her fiance, Bob, also become involved in the complications when they come out to borrow a sword for a treasure hunt. Even Mr. Hardman, the faithful family lawyer, looks a bit doubtful when he starts creeping around with a gun. Then Kate Bagley and Eddie Bower arrive unexpectedly for a “‘ghost watch” in order to get a story for their paper, as there is a rumor going the rounds that the house is “‘haunted.’’ One queer happening follows another, and not until the very end is the mystery hovering over this old place finally cleared up.

Page Twenty-seven Miss Proph ecY The Great Swami is ready; the reading shall begin. The clouds are lifting— what is this I see? Ah! A tall gloomy person, dressed in the seedy black suit of the mortician. He is being congratulated on discovering the embalming method of the Egyptians. His name is Jack Robertson. But wait—the scene changes. We see a small cottage, set in a lovely grove of trees. There are flowers growing everywhere and here, in the midst of wedded bliss, is a couple. They are former students of B. H.S. There are several small—ah— kittens playing at their feet. ‘The name on the mailbox is Wade. The scene changes again—the spacious veranda of a country house is visible. We see the gentleman farmer, sportsman seated in the shadows, sipping a mint julep; there are several hounds lying at his feet. ‘‘Cuhnel’’ Byrne listens lazily to the sound of a piano wafted from the house. Suddenly I seem to see bright lights, music. A couple is dancing and the audience is held spellbound. The great ‘‘Woo” Coleman, Fred Astaire, II; then with equal ease he sends his golden voice floating over the air waves—‘‘Bing”’ Cole- man entertains. I see others of your class: Jane Smith, first woman president, spending the taxpayers’ money, endowing a Boogie Woogie Conservatory. Socialite, Miss Anne Johnson, of Newport, Boston, Palm Beach, etc. I see a dark man in her life, a football player. Ah! What is this I see? A newspaper headline, ‘““The Former Mary Anne Moorman, Thrice Divorced, is Rumored Having an Affair with Stuyvesant Got- rocks sl LI? And here is “‘Army Girl’? McClintock. Her picture is in more tents than Dorothy Lamour’s. Now I see a huge observatory, a gigantic telescope is being operated. Suddenly the astronomer leaps up, with a joyous cry. ‘“Tinker’’ Hicks has discovered another new star. I see another newspaper story: “Edith Bornsteino,” after a brilliant season with the Metropolitan Opera Company, is studying in Italy. Again I hear music—it is very hot music; I see the leader of the band being congratulated on his new record, “Shoot the Juice to Me, Bruce,” by ‘‘Scotty” Scott and his Musical Drips. Now I hear the roar of an airplane motor; several intrepid aviators zoom into view. They are former B. H. S. students, Tommy Martin and Jimmy Chryssikos, commanded by Major Katherine Nash, first woman to command a squadron of bombers. A fanfare is heard; the great athlete ““Superwoman” Stafford has just swam the English Channel and set a new pole vault record of seventeen feet three inches. Three more visions I see: A nurse, angel of mercy, Florence Nightingale, II, Miss Mary Kessler. And the efficient teacher of the math., hard taskmistress, Mae Ballard. Last, but not least, great aircraft production chief, John Scott, Keep ’em Flying. Now the clouds are gathering. I am weary, leave me, leave me. Page Twenty-eight BOOK 3 Through the past centuries, from the early Olympics in Greece, men have been participating in athletics. ‘Today, in the schools across the land, physical activity has assumed an important place in order to broaden and supplement modern education. Sports promote good sportsmanship, clean living, self-control, self-confi- dence, good citizenship, teach lessons of discipline, and create democratic associations. ‘Thus, in recognition of this fact, we present this, the athletic story of our school year.
