With his retirement, Bedford High School loses a man and gains a tradition as fine as only the man himself could make it. The students in the years to come will not know him, and they will be the losers for it, but B.H.S. students of eighteen classes will never forget him. BAC Ue Mr. A. G. Cummines, B.S., M.S.

Librarian Farmville State Teacher’s College, Farmville, Virginia Through AR is Y ears In the shadow of the mountains, Neath a sky of blue, Stands a school dear to our hearts— With memories old and new. Long ago, to be exact, With minds aspiring to the goals In nineteen forty-two, Of this eventful year, We were standing on the threshhold— We would have faltered but for help Freshmen, dazed and blue. That banished doubt and fear. Next year we faced the newer tasks In that our second term; And all ambitions crystalized In one desire—to learn. Two years had passed, ne’er to return, These gifts sublime are ever ours, How sad such things should be; Let’s keep them everyone, But they bore a wealth of treasured gifts And be grateful to these years just passed For my classmates and me. For friends and wisdom won. Looking o’er these two short years We filled with work and dreams— They seemed so long, and were so short— A paradox, it seems. Let’s leave this thought, ’tis too complex, How beautiful the friendships made And turn to things anew; In every passing day, Remember it’s our Junior year— How inspiring the classes seemed There’s worlds of things to do. With wisdom, work and play. We are thankful for each passing hour Of classwork and of fun, We are thankful but regret to say Three-fourths our task is done. Long last the year of years has come, Four terms we’ve been together now, It’s Senior door ajar, But soon our paths must part; We enter with our hearts aglow Let’s not forget these wondrous years, To emerge a shining star. But keep them in our heart. So on our way o’er land and sea In the great unknown— Fearless and free, and one with God, Thus never quite alone.

AT Class History You may not find the events that I am about to relate recorded in the pages of American histories; nevertheless, I defy you to prove that they are not as worthy of mention as any of the deeds performed by the heroes of old. Would you have me prove my words? Then stretch your ears and give heed. Remember that day way back in 1935 when we entered school for the first time? It will never be forgotten either by us or by Miss Nell. On that eventful day she was heard to moan on several occasions, “Oh, why were these little creatures sent upon me!”’ Her suspicions were more than justified during that year. The greater part of the time Masters Carl and Hugh Overstreet were so happy at the thought of being in the first grade that they could do nothing but sing, no matter what Miss Nell threatened. It was also in the first grade that we won the name of being the noisiest class ever to be assembled—a trait that has remained with us through the years. Soon another year rolled by. In the second grade our pranks and jokes were well packed into eventful days. For instance, one day Homer Chryssikos decided he had had enough of studying. Mrs. Hays, being ignorant of the thought uttermost in Homer’s mind, went into the closet for a box of chalk. The temptation was too great for little Homer. He quickly slammed the closet door and locked it. D:dn’t Homer have fun when Mrs. Hays was rescued. By the time we master minds got in the third grade we thought we knew all, but this illusion Miss Bessie quickly shattered. It is believed that while passing through this grade both Betty Anne McGhee and Anna Belle Arthur were more interested in a certain Lewis McGhee than they were in their books, but as to this fact we have never had any definite proof. Although Bookie Bond’s interest in Virginia Lee Richardson was slightly aglow in the third grade, by the time we reached the fourth grade it had burst into flame. Even at that tender age the little Cassanova couldn’t concentrate on his arithmetic for eyeing the beauteous Virginia Lee. And speaking of Bookie, one Sarah Carter was constantly slaving to keep his shoes tied for him. We managed to keep out of mischief fairly well in the fifth grade. Nevertheless, one incident comes to mind at the thought of that grade. Miss Hannah announced one day that all those who missed as many as three words on a spelling quiz would have to write each word missed seventy-five times after school. Didn’t Bobby Zimmerman have to slave because he couldn’t spell? Before Bobby finished writing his seventeen words that evening, he wished he had brought supper with him. While we were making history at Bedford Grade School, certain of our group were making trouble at Liberty Academy. In the process of passing through the fifth grade, Nancy Parks, Joanne Hash, Bettie Burks and Barbara Dooley almost had to join us sooner than they planned. It all started when these four decided they were tired of school work and continued their tennis after the recess bell had rung. After Miss Wright and a few others were through giving lectures, reprimands, and time, all agreed to leave off tennis for a while. In the sixth grade Ju ne Eaton, Joanne Hash, Janet Gee, and Billy Sutherland were added to our class. Three of these newcomers were perfect angels, but there was one— yes, you’ve guessed it—Joanne Hash, who never failed to get on Miss Wilkinson’s nerves. She was constantly throwing notes to Leila Walker, and when questioned by care-worn 118% Miss Wilkinson as to what she was throwing Joanne calmly replied, “Why, teacher, I was just throwing a piece of chalk.” We started our seventh year of school with a bang. On that first day while June Eaton was chasing Billy Sutherland, she collided with a big shelf of flowers. in Mrs. Steele’s room. Dirt, bits of plants, and June seemed to go in all directions for awhile. The rest of the day was spent in cleaning up the room. Remember how proud we felt to get our grade school diplomas? My, but didn’t we think we had reached the pinnacle of success as we sat on the stage in the auditorium for our closing exercises? That fateful day of September 8, 1942, when we made our spectacular appearance as freshmen in high school will long live in our memories. So coated with lipstick were our faces for the first few days that we neither recognized one another nor were recog- nized by the teachers. It was in our freshman year also that Marie DeCicco and Bobby Lazenby ‘“‘fell”’ for each other at first sight. If you will take a peep at the section on Romances in the Hall of Fame, you will observe that things haven’t changed much for these two. Our sophomore year was anticipated with great glee, for now we could get our revenge upon the poor freshmen by smearing them with lipstick. Bossing them and act- ing superior also came under our list of pleasures. This year also, our boys, greatly worn by a steady diet of studying, were revived by the resumption of sports after an absence of three years. We cannot pass by our Junior year without calling to mind the day when Mrs. Elliott was giving Hogie a lecture on studying. “Now, Hoge, if you don’t study more, I am going to see your father,” raved Mrs. Elliott. Then replied bright Hogie, “But, Mrs. Elliott, what would my mother say?” We always thought Maxine Citty was the kind to blush every time a boy looked at her, but many of us were surprised that Junior year when she suddenly came to school wearing a diamond. She really did blush after we got through teasing her about it. Our Senior year has been far from a tranquil year. At the first of the year Homer Chryssikos broke his leg and Hugh Overstreet received a fractured foot in a football game with the rough and ready team of Vinton. While speaking of sports, it is necessary to mention our cheer leaders. Many of us have never been able to understand what hap- pened to this group—namely Virginia Lee Richardson, Joanne Hash, Marie DeCicco, and Nancy Parks, when they stayed in Roanoke on a certain night until 1:00 with our football team of 25 boys. It has always been very mystifying, but, who knows, maybe some day an explanation will come to light. Each of us can truthfully say that he has thoroughly enjoyed his Senior year with the many parties, dances, and banquets. Of course, we could not overlook the Senior play, which gave everyone so much enjoyment. We seniors who went with the Glee Club to the district festival in Roanoke and helped take the highest ratings were never so proud as when we also went to the state festival in Richmond and saw ourselves again win top ratings. We can’t give too much credit to Liz Jamerson for directing us so effectively. So ends the history of the Class of ’46. We have shared many happy times as well as sad ones in B.H.S.—times which we will always remember and cherish as we think back on our school days. SARAH VIRGINIA CarTER, Class Historian. 419} Class Will | We, the class of Forty-Six, beng about to leave this sphere, in full possession of a sound mind, memory, and understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, the faculty, only enjoining that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp our situation in the high school scale has merited. _As to such estate as it has pleased the fates and our own strong arms to give us, we do dispose of the same as follows: 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. The following may seem but trival bequests but we hope that they may prove valuable assets to those who receive them. May they be a continual reminder of the generosity displayed in our free and full bestowal. To our sponsors, Miss Bibb and Mr. Thomas, our profound admiration and appre- ciatien for their help in guiding this Sen.or Class through its many problems. To presidents of future Senior Classes, Homer Lee Chryssikos’ ability to fill this office so efficiently. To Vincent Wheeler, Joanne Hash’s gift of gab. To the girls who need it, Sarah Carter’s beauty. So that the boys will not feel left out, we give you “Benny” Dooley’s good looks. Apply early and avoid the rush. Virginia Lee Richardson willingly gives up her place as biggest flirt in the Senior Class to Joanne Ayers of the Junior Class. To whomsoever is best fitted, we give Virginia Turpin’s ability as a secretary. So that the class to fill our place may get along as well as ours has, we give you Elizabeth Jamerson’s and Billy Sutherland’s eagerness to work hard. Barbara Dooley leaves her most cherished possession, a bottle of peroxide, to Gladys Dooley. Betty Anne McGhee leaves her ability as an organist to Elizabeth Lapsley. So that the class may have one dignified Senior, especially since Seniors are supposed to be dignified, we give Luck Wilkinson some of Thomas Arthur’s dignity. After much persuasion, Betty Burks at last agreed to bequeath her love of Big Island; that is, the reason for her love of Big Island, to a girl in the class of °47. Marie DeCicco and Bobby Lazenby bequeath their enjoyment of their senior year together to Dottie Lou Nichols and Ed McClintock. Lastly, Hoge Sutherland gives his notoriety as a poet of romantic verse to Ed Booth. And we do hereby constitute and appoint the principal, Mr. Borden, sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we the Class of Forty-Six, the testators, have to this our will set our hand and seal, this twenty-ninth day of May, Anno Domini one thousand nine hundred forty-six. Lema Terry WALKER, Testator. + 20 } Class Prophecy “The old order changeth,” said Tennyson, and never were truer words spoken. We have found it wise to discard old-fashioned practices and use newer ones, in order to keep abreast of the times. Years ago, if we had wanted to look into the future, we would have consulted a crystal gazer, drunk some magic potion to induce visions, or else crossed a gypsy’s palm with silver. In this streamlined age such practices are passé. Today we employ experts whose bus ness it is not only to keep us informed on present day affairs but also on future happenings. These experts make predictions based on a little spy work, some brain work and a great deal of guess work. For some time now I have been in com- munication with one of the country’s leading analysts who has been willing to share with me his secrets on making deductions about things to come. So if you will listen carefully, I shall give you my predictions concerning the future of the Senior Class of ’46. First of all, I predict that in four years Billy Sutherland, weary and disillusioned after being chased by June and the other g.rls of the Senior Class, will retire to the North Carolina mountains to live as a hermit. Also, that Bookie Bond, too lazy to pursue a military career, will become a typical gentleman farmer and sportsman who sips mint julips on the spacious veranda of his country home. In ten years Sarah Carter, a perfect mother and housewife, will be the President of the Big Island Garden Club. Thomas Arthur, tired of seeking knowledge in a higher institution, will choose a quiet country life down on the farm. I predict also that in five years Nancy Parks will be a “swanky” reporter in Paris, mingling with the cafe society and getting the “low-down” on the higher-ups. In the next fifteen years Lewis McGee’s name will appear in lights at the Metro- politan Opera House as the composer of the first great American opera, and Janet Gee’s and Trudie Evans’ names will at the same time be featured there as the prima donnas. As a result of Elyene Clifton’s “‘vaulting ambition” to get married, she will be settled down with a family of five in 1956. I predict that Homer Lee will be a sensational crooner who will make more bobby soxers swoon than Frankie ever did. “Superwoman” Margaret Walker will set a new record in sports by swimming the Atlantic Ocean in 1950. Maurice Kennedy, profiting by his high school experience as a wolf, will be the Don Juan of his day. In 1950, as you tune in on your favorite soap opera, you will hear Hugh Garrett giving the commercial for “Life Can Be Miserable” featuring Joanne Hash as comedienne. I predict that your daughters w.ll have Professors Leila Walker or Virginia Lee Richardson for one of their classes when they go to the most fashionable college of their day. Within the next ten years Winchell will have to retire because he won’t be able to compete with Maribel Sutherland’s gossip columns. {21} In July, 1953, you will see the exhibition of the newest type plane designed and tested by our own classmate, Carl Overstreet. Maxine Citty, tired of being lonely, will settle down with her ex-soldier husband in 1946. I predict that Hoge Sutherland will write a poem which will make Longfellow turn over in his grave with envy. As you pass by the Bedford Baptist Church in 1952, you will hear Betty Ann McGhee practicing some new selection on the organ. In the fall of 1949, if you could peep through the keyhole of some office you would see Betty Fizer, Annie Belle Arthur, or Virginia Turpin taking dictation while sitting on the boss’ knee. Within the next five years two of our seniors will be settled down in an attractive little cottage, and the name on the mail box will be R. J. Lazenby. I predict that in 1950 Benny Dooley will be a sensational new movie find. Bobby Zimmerman will spend the next twenty years in the Army as a yard-bird. Socialite Barbara Dooley, of Palm Beach, Long Island, etc., will give a concert in Carnegie Hall in 1954. I predict, too, that Billy Witt, tired of Army life, will have a florist shop from which your daughters will get their first corsages. In 1951, if you are sick and need a pill roller, the doctor will most likely recommend either Eleanor Zimmer, Frances Kennedy, or Bettie Burks as your nurse. My final prediction is that Liz Jamerson will write the truly “great American novel” within the next twenty years. And so end my predictions for the Class of ’46—except that I'll venture to predict that in ten years we'll all wish we were back at B.H.S.

Under the student direction of Elizabeth Jamerson, the mixed group walked off with superior ratings at both the District Festival in Roanoke and the state festival in Richmond. The girls’ group, also directed by Elizabeth Jamerson, won an excellent rating in Roanoke and a superior rating in Richmond. Two members of the Glee Club, Trudie Evans and Nancy Carroll Hopkins, won superior ratings at the district festival in the solo contest. Janet Gee won an excellent rating there, also. {32} Orchestra First row, left to right: Nancy Jamerson, Lois Foster, Harriet Hylton, Nancy Hopkins, Barbara Scott, Jesse Ward Gillaspie, Allen Bornstien, Joe Davidson.

The orchestra was an addition to the music department of B.H.S. this year. Under the direction of Mr. Lamphere, the orchestra made exceptional progress aside from the fact that only a few of its members had previous instrumental instruction. The orchestra took a superior rating in Roanoke at the annual Instrumental Festival among the district unclassified groups. {33 } Senior Play «TWO GENTLEMEN AND VERONA” Cast OF CHARACTERS VERON AD W OOD, leading lad Jae en nee Virginia Lee Richardson CLYDE: COLBY,G)2dd 17 £71471 ae ae er Hugh Garrett Overstreet Mrs. BUXTON, bousekee pera a wee a ee Eleanor Zimmerman SARAH BROWN, d7amd Sludent wae ee ee Elizabeth Jamerson Mare O'REILLY, bert ricnd : este ese 0 Joanne Hash Nets Lansine, wealthy backer of theater group ................

She is encouraged in her desire to become a professional actress by Clyde Colby, leading man of the company. In spite of her ambi- tions, she falls in love with Bill Kennedy, a dramatic critic whom she accidentally meets. The situation is complicated when Mr. Sweezy, a movie scout, arrives on the scene, and Verona has to choose between trying to win a movie contract or marrying Bill. Then follow frantic efforts on her part to impress the jaded talent scout. Her mind, however, is much too occupied with thoughts of making Bill jealous. A totally unexpected con- clusion makes this one of the most hilarious of comedies. {34} Hhileties ay pa WAAL me y - = ill danieiiutic apn Ne cee RITA dg MOA lls Wie, HGR “YW FOOT BEDFORD © 0.0 i icc cele ode tues ey Sete are ae ee a WitLtiam Byrp 40 An inexperienced eleven, weakened by the fact that Bedford had had no football during the war, lost its first game to the overpowering Vinton team.
