Rusty al 22 Class Hisiory Eleven years ago last fall we started to school. That was a happy moment for most ae us, as it made us feel quite “grown-up.” However, the thoughts of eleven long years of hard work ahead were almost fright- ening to ones so young. Now looking back—those years have been very Shae and well—not too hard. There are certain incidents in our school life which we should like to recall to your memory. Surely you haven’t forgotten Janet's love for Tom resulting in Tom’s name being carved on all fie apple trees around the Hick’s hore or Mary Cox’s staying in for chewing gum. Miss Bessie wrote on the board “I must chew gum in school,” Anal told Mary to copy it. Little did Miss Bessie realize That she had left out the word not—until Mary had written the sentence one hundred times. It was also Miss Bessie who had Tom dance every morning for our entertain- ment. He was so bashful that he turned his back to us. June got her dancing practice on the side doing the “pickanniny shinny” at recess. The plays we gave in the first, second, and third grades afforded quite a bit of interes and excitement. We played the dashing roles of fairies, elves, birds, and vegetables. An annual event of the graded school, in which we found great pleasure, was going to the fair. Don’t you remember how we saved our nickles and dimes for weeks in order to be able to ride on the hobby- horses, ferris wheel and the like—to say nothing of taking in all the side shows. Our class was divided in the fourth grade, and all the children liv- ing outside the corporation were transferred to Liberty Academy, the new elementary school for the pupils of central district. Those of us who were sent to the Academy found conditions quite different. We heard much about the new curriculum and found that along with it went more freedom, fewer rules, no home work, and many clubs. The Glee Club, of which many of us were members, went to Lynchburg and gave a radio program— —which we considered very pro- fessional. May Day at Liberty Academy was looked forward to with a great deal of pleasure, because about the first of April we started practicing for it and we did n’t have many lessons. In the fifth grade, the girls were very much embarrassed when 23 Miss Hannah read to the class notes which she had found them writing to J. T. Meadows. Our class history really begins when we entered high school, as it was then that the seventh grade from the Academy and the seventh grade from Bedford Elementary school were reunited. As freshmen we became members of the Glee Club, Newspaper Club, Torch-Y, Airplane, Camera, and Science Club, and later Boys and Girls Hi-Y. Some of our boys were on football, baseball, and basket- ball squads. ‘There was also a girls basketball team. When we were in Miss Saunders’ homeroom, we _ presented fashion show in which Julia, Janet, Margaret, and Ann Arlen took part. Mr. Painter’s homeroom gave a play pertaining to “Manners.” In our sophomore year a new girl named Willie Lee entered our class. She astonished us by talking like a college graduate rather than like a transfer from Huddleston Hi. In September of our Junior year the B. H. S. girls were all aflutter over the nine Puerto Ricans who entered the school. The boys of our class were very jealous of the attentions shown Harry Besosa, be only Puerto Rican who was a Junior. During our Junior and Senior years clubs and most sports were sacrificed in order to concentrate more time and attention upon physical education. The health period was lengthened to 55 minutes and the whole program reorganized under the leadership of Miss Parker and Mr. Painter. Our work progressed so nicely that when the state representa- tive visited our school we had cause to be proud of his findings. When we entered our Senior year we welcomed two members to the faculty—Miss Claytor as teacher of Home Economics, and Miss Kiley, our new commercial teacher. In January ’44 Mr. Painter was called to the armed forces, and Mr. Allen took over his work at the beginning of the second semester. At the beginning of our Senior year we were asked to vote for the girl who would best represent our class in Washington if she were chosen by the D. A. R. You guessed it—Billy Miller received the most votes! Frank Massie came to school one morning boasting that he had put out a big fire near his home. Later we learned that the whole fire de- partment had been there to assist him. The way E. L. has been going around singing all the time you would think that he was trying ih he a second Sinatra. We wonder if 24 June and Mary Garland will like him half as well as they do their be- loved Frank. One day Miss Ida caught James Phillips, Jimmy Bower, and Gene Fizer playing volley ball in her homeroom at recess. You should have seen them scrubbing walls that afternoon after school. One cold snowy day, Malcolm, Lester, Jimmy, and Gene put Mar- garet and Barbara out on the roof at noon recess. Even this didn't cool them enough to quiet them. E We all know that Ann Arlen didn’t eat any supper the night of the play. Even then it is very surprising that she could eat as much as she did on the stage. - If you have noticed the way Laura has gone around day dreaming you know that she is in love, but it seems that she could have found someone nearer her age than the preacher. Speaking of love affairs, we have had plenty of them: Lillie Belle and J. S., Rachel and Ralph, Kathleen and Hugh, Marjorie and Jimmy, Betsy and Ralph, and Eunice and Paul. James Henry came to school every morning claiming that he had to study bookkeeping. Could it have been that he was interested in Virginia? Alma and Doris certainly were interested in Holy Cross basketball team, and we all understand the reason they were so anxious to have a second game. There are two events that we aren't likely to forget. One is the Halloween Party, the first all-school party to be held in high school. We recommend that it become an annual event. The other is the Ju- nior-Senior Party, which was so much enjoyed by all. As our high school years come to an end we recall other memorable happenings, such as, our trips to Natural Bridge, Timber Lake, and the County Lake. We shall probably forget some of the things we learned, but we shall always remember and cherish the memories of the friends we made and the teachers who have been our guides and our friends. ANNE PADGETT and MARIE ZIMMERMAN, Class Historians 25 Class Prophecy Listen, O my children, to these words of wisdom. Listen, that ye may hear a the great divination revealed to your most humble seer by the Divine One. a he lay in docile slumber, your lowly prophet was blessed with an omnipotent power; and a rev elation of the illimitable future of the class of ‘44 was made unto this humble person through a vision. From out of the mist comes the glare of foot lights, behind which stands Willie “Bernhart” Nichols, the great American Actress, enacting the famed dagger scene from Macbeth. Ah, yes, and in the orchestra pit there’s “Kettle Drum” Marshall and his “Hot Rocke.” There are quite a number of celebrities in the audience, too, such as Ann Anderson, the Dorothy Thompson of 1954, taking notes for her column and throwing peanuts into the balcony; then there’s “Olsa” Craig just back from big- game hunting in Africa; with her is “Play Boy” Fizer, local Casonova, now divorcing his ninth wife. But wait! There’s an interruption; a voice screams, “Is there a dentist in the house?” and as Dr. Fields steps forth, a man rushes up and cries excitedly, “Come quickly, Doctor, my wife’s cutting a tooth!” As the excitement dies down, Mr. Frank Sin- atra steps into the spotlight and announces that his next wife is to be none other than Miss June Scott, famed debutante. A hush runs over the house as Miss Eunice Moore steps to the stage and pleads for funds to help the Missionaries in China, where she and her fourth husband Call preachers) are planning to carry on their good work. The scene changes and the odor of magnolias blends faintly into my lethargy. From pehence cometh this pleasant scent, you ask? Why, my children, it issues from the luxurious plantation of Colonel Carlyle, a truly ¢ great Southern gentleman. On the veranda we see Colonel Car- lyle and General J M. Bower, retired, who now runs a neighboring chicken farm, talking with Rusty Zimmerman, famed Wee enoman anil sipping mint juleps.. You guessed it, friends. The well in the back- yard doesn’t contain water. It’s rumored that Colonel Carlyle and Henry Howard are running a still in addition to their regular duties. Purely carrying on the tradition of the South, of course. The topic of conversation seems to be the next presidential election in which Wendell Willkie and Miss Julia Dooley, now Congresswoman, are running against—yes, that’s right, it’s good old F. D. R. Horrors! There’s a terrifying roar heard, and Sine ‘de-Servesky” Phillips zooms over in his newest rocket ship, followed by Major John Arthur of the Army Air Force. Colonel Carlyle calls his secretary, Miss Mary Cox, short- 26 hand expert, and dictates a letter to Miss Anne Padgett, noted chemist, who is working on a formula for synthetic booze. Colonel Carlyle is sponsoring the experiment. Ah! Another couple approaches the spacious mansion; yes, it's Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Reynolds, the former Rachel Hoback, who manage Carlyle’s large estate. There seems to be another couple lounging at “Julep Hill”; it’s “Dizzy” Stanley, big league base-ball pitcher, and his fiancee, Margaret Saunders. Mr. Claiborn Arrington, local postman, tosses the paper upon the veranda; and as it falls open, we see that Barbara “Pin Up” Johnson and Harry Besosa, noted engineer, are planning a world tour along with Malcolm Dea- con, who has amassed a fortune in the laundry business, and Bill Miller, florid play boy of New York. Also on this trip are Misses Sylvia Rob- erts, Louise Beard, Doris Whorley, Lillie Belle O’Donohoe, and Eloise Luck, all professional nurses. There’s a group of teachers on board, too; namely, Miss Janet Hicks, Laura Walker, Mary G. Holland, Helen Leftwich, Marjorie Holland, and Nancy Ballard. Other graduates seen were: Doris Blankenship, Betsy Smith, Kathryn Vaughn, and Kathleen Elliott. With this last scene the vision vanished, and your humble prophet was left in peaceful slumbers. PAUL OVERSTREET, Class Prophet 27 Class Will We, the Senior Class of Bedford High School, in this last will and testament do bequeath the items to follow to our immediate suc- cessors, the Junior Class. We deem it wise to distribute our virtues to those friends whose needs they seem best to fit—to those who will make the best use of the talents that have served us so faithfully these four years. These are our decisions, at last arrived at through very deliberate consideration. We now dispose of the following: We give and bequeath to our teachers, who have so patiently in- structed us through these years, more peaceful and restful days. Many times we have Gaaced them to worry or to become upset by playing an unnecessary prank, disobeying a rule, or by not doing the required work. Seniors top the list for that sort of thing, and we are no exception. We give and bequath to our principal, Mr. Borden, our deepest greece and devotion. May it be his joy to see each of us overcome | obstacles and achieve great success. We give and bequeath to Bedford High School as a whole our loyal spirit that the ones who follow may feel the same patriotic pride that we have experienced. We give and bequeath to the War Bulletin editor and staff all the events to come that enter our lives that they may furnish plenty of news to those who are away from home. We give and bequeath to the Junior Class as a whole Julia Dooley’s and Ann Atrlen’s knowledge with the hope that the class may be able to use it as well as they did. The following may seem but trivial bequests, but we hope that they may prove enable assets to those who receive them. May they is a continual reminder of the generosity displayed in our free and ull bestowal. i lo-our sponsors, Miss Patterson and Miss Bibb, our profound admiration as individuals as well as a group. 2. ‘To presidents of future Senior Classes, Paul Overstreet’s abil- ity to fill this office so efficiently. 28 3. To George Gee, Frank Massie and Barbara Johnson’s gift of gab. 4. To the girls who need it, Alma Craig’s beauty. So that the boys will not fel left out, we give you Malcolm Deacon’s good looks. Apply early and avoid the rush. 5. To whoever is best fitted, we give Mary Garland Holland's ability as a secretary. 6. To Sibyl Logwood, we give Jimmy Bower’s wit so that she will not have to remain so quiet! 7. Harry Besosa willingly gives up his place as biggest flirt in the Senior Class to Betty Bond Heller. 8. So that the class to fill our place may get along as well as ours has, we give you Willie Lee and James Phillips eagerness to work hard. 9. To Anne Gills, June Scott's reputation for being the best dressed girl in the class. 10. So that the class may have one dignified Senior, especially since Seniors are supposed to be dignified, we give Cal Brown some of Johnny Arthur's dignity. 11. To Dorothy Winton, we bequeath Doris Blankenship and Lillie Belle O’Donohoe’s love of the Navy. 12. To Nancy Cchenk and Janet Gee, Janet Hicks and Anne Padgett’s place in the cafeteria. 13. We give to Bill Burks, Lester Stanley's ability as a baseball player so that next year the Seniors can beat the present Sophomore Class. 14. It’s nice to be greeted in the morning by a classmate, so we'll let Marie Mclver do that in E. L. Carlyle’s place. 15. Helen Leftwich’s and Bill Miller’s reputation for being the laziest we leave to Nancy Turner. 16. So that the bookkeeping class will not be without any boys, we give James Henry Howard's seat to whoever will take it. 17. Tom Field’s wolfish ways we leave to Homer Lee Chryssikos. 18. We give Betsy Smith’s “quiet ways’ to Marie Burnett. 19. ‘To Billy Beard we give his sister Louise’s reherved manners. 20. Marie Zimmerman and Mary Cox leave their love of horses to Virginia Scott. I hereby sign this will as executrix for the Senior Class of 1944 Bedford High School.
