A BuchxMAd 9£anc Our high school life is over, Those happy days are done, But do not be downhearted — There are brighter things to come. Now let us take a backward glance Over our past four years. And recall with joyous hearts The laughter and the tears. We think of our patient teachers Who have helped us on our way. And of our many friends and schoolmates Who cheered us every day. We shall always remember our parents. Forever standing by And giving that needed push forward With never a frown or sigh. We think of the games we’ve witnessed. When excitement was tuning so high — How we rah-rah-rahed” for Bedford In defeat as in victory. We’ll remember the Senior banquet — The food, the decorations, the fun. We’ll think of the Thursday Assembly — The programs, and the honors we won. The picnics, the parties, and dances. The school paper, the Senior play Will remain to each of us always Memories pleasant and gay. Yes, we look back on it all with pleasure. But we look forward, too, with delight. As we turn to face our future. Determined to work for the right. Martha Smith, Class Voct Douglas Catlin . . . . Bobby Overstreet .

H. S. assembled in the high school auditorium to begin another session of books, tests, and detention slips. A feeling of ruefulness seemed dominate among the majority of the assembled students.” No such mood, however, was disturbing the spirit of the eighty-four red-faced freshmen seated in the rear of the building. For them the opening of school was no tragedy, because they were so enthralled by the idea of being high school freshmen that it never dawned on them that doing so meant work. To make a long story short, this was the beginning of the high school career of the class of 1949. Our Freshman year was one continuous chain of events. Never before, and I hope never again, has such an abundance of wit and mischief been brought together. As a mild example, I’m sure you remember the time Bobby Overstreet tied Mrs. Elliott’s chair to her desk. Mrs. Elliott came bounding unsuspectingly into the room, and made a valiant attempt at pulling her chair from beneath the desk. So vigorous was her effort that the spring in the rope jerked her right off her feet. It is needless to say that this incident, sparking Mrs. Elliott’s claim to irritation, entirely altered the class’s idea of good joke. W ' ith the evolution of time our class progressed slowly, but not always surely, to the rank of sophomores, and a consciousness of class strength was apparent among the individuals. H. A. Scott’s voice could be heard on all of the six halls at once in his expression of this feeling. Malcolm Marsh had completely mastered the art of omitting his homework, and very seldom was his neglect discovered. It was also evident at this time that P. Vi’. Craighead was well on his way to be- coming the most perfected dancer of our class. There were, however, those who were opposed to our unfair use of this new power: IDavid Bornstein and Steve Perrow continued their search for higher learning. Steve — I.atin books. David — Eatin books and numerous manuscripts” by alt Disney. Through this panorama, Alice Chaplin, our president, did a magnificent job of run- ning the affairs of our class. The beginning of another year found our little group holding the proud title of [uniors, and the realization that our high school days were well on their way to an end. The Junior-Senior Prom was easily the highlight of our third year at B. H. S. I feel that it is proper at this time to tell of a very amusing incident which befell me in collecting the history of our Junior year. Upon asking Joan Caudle if there was any funny event that remained in her memory, the subtle Joan replied: ' X ' ell, I did go with Earl May that year.” And now our last year of high school is almost at a close. As I look back over the year I realize that it has been one of the most active and fun-packed of my life. Never a dull moment, that’s our motto. It would be impossible for me to record all of the happenings of the year, but there are a few incidents that I believe will help to typify our class and always serve to remind us of our Senior year, -[ 18 1- CLASS WILL We, the dignihed members of the Senior Class, in this year 1949, being about to pass out of this sphere of educational activity in full possession of well-crammed minds and almost unforgettable memories, do make this instrument, in writing, to be our last will and testament, thereby revoking and making void all former wills and promises made by us at any time heretofore. To the faculty, who have so patiently instructed us, we give and bequeath restful nights and peaceful dreams, well deserved after years of contending with the present Senior Class. To our principal, Mr. Borden, we leave our profound admiration for the help he has given us in solving problems that have confronted us during our four years of high school. To our sponsors. Miss Patterson and Miss Bibb, we bequeath our deep appreciation and our hope that the oncoming seniors will be as worthy in their sight as we have been. To Bedford High School as a whole, we give the following advice, the acceptance of which will lead them to glory: Learn to work if not to win; development comes sooner through overcoming failures than through successes. To the Junior Class we bequeath the following; 1. Our seats of honor in assembly, where each Thursday our chewing gum was disposed of. 2. The glory of appearing in the Senior play. 3. Our two Senior homerooms 22 and 2 3, where the day’s lessons were frantically prepared during the first ten minutes of school. 4. Our ability to shoot bull” on history tests. To individual members of the class of ’5 0 we leave the following, which may prove to be valuable assets to those who receive them; 1. To Nancy Huddleston, Helen Wilkinson’s title as the best looking girl. Failing to find an individual sufficiently qualified, we leave to the Junior boys as a whole Dickie Roberts’ good looks. 2. To whoever deserves it, P. W.’s chair in the hall, where he greets the girls every morning. (Apply early and avoid the rush.) 3. To Betty Dearborn, Margie Newman’s love of the Army. 4. To Jimmy Sublette, Steve Perrow’s title as brain child.” 5. To Mary Jean Carlyle, Ruby Lee Wells’ ability to play the piano. 6. To the young Romeo, R. B. Nance, Gene Turpin’s love for the fairer sex. 7. To Lois Foster, Cherie Jantz’s well-worn Virgil book. 8. To whoever needs it, Graham Powell’s seat in English, where he catches up on his lost sleep. 9. To Mildred Parker, Joan Caudle’s ability to get along with the other students of B. H. S. 10. To Jennings Rowlett, Lloyd Parker’s ability as a baseball player. Maybe the Senior Class next year will beat the present Eighth Grade team. 11. To Mary Jane Drumheller, Pat Baker’s title as most conceited. 12. To J. B. Karnes, Bobby Overstreet’s ability to run the low hurdles. 13. To Dicksie Nance, Norma Jean’s appetite and seat next to the window in the cafeteria. 14. To Betty Creasy, Dot Coleman’s ability to draw cartoons and football heroes. 15. To Joanne Agee, Alice Chaplin’s pretty smile. In witness whereof, the class of Forty-Nine, have to this, our last will and testament, set our hands this 3rd day of June 1949. — Jean Moore, T cs tutor d 19 b CLASS PROPHECY Hey, David, do you think we will have a quiz tomorrow?” Of course, the answer was, Well, I don’t know. Maybe yes, maybe no.” Many of my classmates will testify that I frequently would inquire about the possibilities of tests, quizzes, or other sadistical techniques employed by our teachers. The truth is that it was done only to confuse and conceal my true secret — a secret which I have revealed to no one, but which I shall unveil now — I, dear friends, always knew, although I never seemed to know. Every minute, every second that I could spare, 1 studied. What?” you may ask. No, not lessons, but the oracles of Nostradamus — Nostradamus, the greatest of the great prophets, a man whose prophecies have never failed. Do not think for a moment, however, that I neglected the prophets of the Bible, not at all! Neither did I forget our great con- temporary mind reader Dunninger. Yet it was the study of Nostradamus that helped me most, for in one of his more obscure works I found a hidden chapter, one pertaining to the founding of a high school near two mountains — the name of the school, Bedford High, Nostradamus seemed particularly interested in the class of 1949. Making use of my studies I will use his writings as an aid to my predictions. The first thing that I predict is that fifteen years from June 3, 1949, there will be a small dilapidated country store about eleven miles north of Bedford. The name of the store — Route 122 General Merchandise and Drug Store.” In the center of the floor I see a group of well-to-do farmers consisting of Paul Updike, Jack Patterson, and Roy Elliot. In the midst of these three, perched on a barrel, a’ wad of tobacco in one cheek, a jug of corn likker” over his left arm, is the proprietor and druggist. Waller Stephen Perrow, oratorically reciting the wanderings of Aeneas in the wilderness to the intent listeners. Annie Byerle will have started a nationwide movement entitled “The Society for the Prevention of the Telling of Slightly OfT-Shade Jokes.” Another active club member will be Helen Sines, who will have membership in seven clubs and will be one of the most renowned church singers in the United States. Hugh Bond, after completing a four-year course at Washington and Eee, will have set up a real estate business in St. Louis and will try unsuccessfully to sell building sites which are two feet under water. Many of the girls of our class will be added to the ranks of the happily married. Among these there are Jean Harris, Jean Powers, Nancy Hatcher, and Dora Jean Cole- man. However, all will not be happily married. Norma Jean Elliot will be in Reno securing her sixth divorce and making preparations for her seventh wedding. Douglas Catlin will be happily married within four years after his graduation and within eight years will be the owner, chief newscaster, main actor, and singer of his own radio station — WMCW of Thaxton, Virginia. In a decade Alice Chaplin will be the main attraction of a dingy night club in New York as a blues singer and pianist. In the same club there will be a pair of up and coming comediennes, namely Billie Jean The Laff” Albert and Minerva Nut” Mayhew. These aren’t the only ones who will have been attracted to the big city. Billy Jones and Lewis Gipson, after having been in New York several months, will go into business, and by 19 34 they will have sold the Brooklyn Bridge to unsuspecting yokels at least 5 9 times. Nancy Luck and Elorence Marshall, attracted by the glitter of the lights of Broadway, finally will break into the legitimate theater. As for the engineers of our class, 1 predict that in 193 8, Bobby Overstreet will be trying to get out of P. 1. The one and only subject that will hold him back will be trigonometry. Gene Turpin will graduate in 19 37, and will be carrying on a one-man lobby in Congress, trying to convince that body of the necessity of constructing a cana ' across the middle of the United States. Out of every class, there are a few fortunates who will have the honor of serving in the armed forces. Those from our class will be Graham Powell and Lloyd Parker, who. J 20 h after ten years in the Navy will still be swabbing decks, and Jack Lee Coleman, who, after the same length of time in the Army will be coming up for promotion from ' ’yard bird” to buck private. Both Joan Caudle and Ruby Wells will marry farmers and will settle down to a life of peace and quiet in the country, disregarding their college educations, and doing what comes naturally. Ruby’s husband will grow sweet potatoes, while Ruby will raise prize turkeys. Joan and her husband will raise children. By 1960, Miss Cherie Jantz will have gained the reputation as the world’s most proficient Latin teacher, and will have written several books on the subject. Pat Baker, one of B. H. S.’s ardent French students, will go to France, where she will learn the art of Terpsichore and become one of its greatest masters. Asbury Leftwich will become one of Flollywood’s most renowned bachelor play- boys, having amassed a fortune of over nine million dollars by chicken farming. Joan Luck, who, by hook or crook, will manage to make the screen in eight years, will be looking forward to her marriage to Alfa Pippick, famous producer. Several others will be attracted by the magnetic appeal of Hollywood. Among those will be Joan Roberts, who will become a famous floral designer and bit player. Helen Wilkinson will become a film cutie, and Lois Arrington will be drawn into the Hollywood social whirl. One of our students is interested in the printing line. In ten years there will be a great editor clamoring for a copy boy. The boy will come running up and will be none other than Neil Scott. Two other girls who will be married are Martha Smith and Margie Newman. Martha will raise a family of three boys and three girls, while Margie will become the secretary of an oil magnate and in due time will marry his son. I predict that in 1963, Malcolm Marsh will be world renown as a musician, gourmet, poet, wit, cassanova, and writer. The New York Philharmonic Orchestra will play mostly popular music due to the influence of Malcolm, who will own a controlling interest in that organization. In 1959, Paul Craighead will possess the largest collection of Lincoln Logs in the world. But try as he may, he will never be able to construct a toy house with them. After an unsuccessful attempt to break into the contracting business, Paul will dance his way to fame on the wharves of New Orleans. Out of every class there must arise an athlete. The one from our class will be Dickie Roberts. Dickie will pitch his way into the Big League and then retire on an income received from sponsoring cigarette ads. H. A. Scott, Jr., will acquire the largest and most exclusive chain store business. The stores will be located on all seven continents and will sell no item for less than $5 3.89. As I look into the future, I see a young woman in Alexandria, Virginia, diligently drawing posters of forthcoming athletic events for Coach Cy” Painter. The young lady is none other than Dot Coleman. Sweet and sad music drifts up to my predictive mind. Behind it all is Jean Moore, who, after studying the masters for six years, will secure a position as violinist in a small cafe in Rome, Italy. As my predictions draw to a close, I envision Billie Pyott in a small, four-room cot- tage in suburban Paris, awaiting an opportunity to move into the Palace of Versailles. He will be happily married to an ex-can-can dancer and be the proud father of four chil- dren. Billie will have earned his fortune in the field of architecture. An important sideline will be lecturing on two of his favorite topics: The Damage Done France by the French Revolution” and Why I Advocate the Return of France to a Monarchy.” So end my predictions except as to one person, yours truly. You may ask me What are you going to be doing ten years from today? What’s going to happen to you? Where will you be?” My answer, Ho w should I know? What do you think I am? A prophet?” David Bornstein, Prognosticator Extraordinarius d 21 }• 1. Is this Elmer? 2. Muscles? 3. Stop posing Joan! 4. Going somewhere, Jean? S. Always eating. 6. Leaving for N ' olens? 7.

Members sold soft drinks during basketball season, and with some of the proceeds paid the registration fees of the three delegates to the Beta convention held in Roanoke, and also half the fare of the two students who represented B. FL S. in the State Forensic Meet in Charlottesville. Shortly before mid-term exams several members were asked to conduct a program in assembly on The Importance of Honesty.” At one of its meetings the club agreed to give again this year to each of the fourth-year Latin students the award of the Classical Asso- ciation, which is in the form of a silver key and recommended that this award be an annual one. Also, a fund has been started to purchase for our school the film Julius Caesar, which can be used by the Latin, English and history departments. Last fall, the Betas entertained the Junior and Senior clases with a delightful Halloween party at the home of the president Billie Pyott.

This year the club was extremely active; four meetings, including the annual banquet in the school cafeteria, were held. The banquet, in which all classes participated, was the highlight of the year, being held in the Ides of March in observance of National Latin Week. A representative from each class took part in the State Latin Tournament held at Randolph-Macon Woman’s College in Lynchburg on April 23.

With the help of an executive committee, the work and activities of the club are carried on by its 41 members, who serve on one of the following committees: Finance, Social, Membership, Publicity, Social Service, Program, and Devotional. A banquet in honor of the district supervisor, Mr. Wm. E. Flansen, was co-sponsored by the Boys’ Hi-Y Club in November. A Mother-Daughter Tea was also sponsored by the club in Eebruary. The club was repre- sented by six delegates at the district conference in Lynchburg in October and also by two delegates at the state conference in Richmond in April. Throughout the year the club has carried out several school and community projects, such as, the carrying of gifts to the almshouse at Christmas, collecting of funds for the Children’s ITome Society, serving at school parties, and shining the school’s trophies.

Bob Cunningham, of the Air Force I loyd Parker SYNOPSIS OF PLAY With the Junior-Senior Dance only eleven days away, Jane and Sally still have no dates — their friends, George and Jim, have not said a word. 1 heir troubles are onl) ' beginning, however, for Sally’s house guest, Marcia, snares one man right after the other with the old go-gettem” tactics; that is, all except Flroy, who is constantly practicing the shot-put, but who really isn’t as dumb as he seems. Then the homefront girls get reinforcements when Cindy Collins arrives — armed with bag, food, horn, and self-confidence. Cindy is a movie fan who is ready to solve an)- problem on the basis of how she has seen it handled in the movies. After emplovinc the tactics Irene Dunne used on Fred MacMurray, she finally succeeds in reuniting Jane and George — only to find that Marcie has lured Jim awa)’ from .Sally. But Cindy is not through fixing things,” and her next adventure collides with an alleged case of mumps. Then Flroy puts the shot into the prize peony bed, and what started as a mild worry about who takes whom to the J. S. Dance, becomes a war of Dads and peonies, shot-puts, mumps, and movies.

The Otters piled up 73 points in winning the championship. Brookville High School was runnerup with 18, followed by Altavista and New London Academy with 17 and 13 points respectively. Jennings Rowlett led the scoring for Bedford with 1 1 points. Bobby Overstreet followed closely with 1 1 points. Marshall Burks, James Kennedy, Eddie ' X ' ilson, and Ollie Witt also scored heavily by winning first place in their favorite events. Dickie Roberts, Lloyd Parker, H. A. Scott, Bill) ' Kennedy, Jack Karnes, James Wilkerson, J. B. Karnes and Roy Carter also contributed many valuable points to Bedford’s winning total. Bedford was represented by twelve men at the State Track Championships at Char- lottesville on May 14 but again failed to score against the strong opposition encoun- tered there.

FANNY JOAN ROBERTS Smoochie Dooflippie Short vacations and furloughs Perhaps if Smoochie could reconsider she would change her pet peeve since the object of her affection has changed of necessity lately.
