AA sf ol 13 JANIE MOSELEY GARRAGHTY Janie” ““That’s nice!” Sweet and sincere is our Janie, who is always willing to lend a helping hand. Her wonderful philosophy of life has been an inspiration to the whole class. In fact, we don’t see how we could have accomplished a thing at our class meetings without her meaningful devotions to start them off right. NANCY CROFT GRAY “Nancy” “Gosh, I don’t know!” Some folks think that Nancy is the quiet type but we know differently—we have phys. ed. with her! She really raises the chatter on the softball field. As possessor of the title “best perscnality’’ Nancy should have no trouble getting along in this old world. MARY LOIS HARDY Mary Lois’ “You haven’t paid your dues yet.” Here is a gal who will stop at ncthing tc get her job done well. Mary Lois is surely a hard worker and one of the most cooperative members of the Senior class. As master of so many homemaking talents she will certainly make some lucky guy a very efficient wife. JACQUELINE ANNE HARPER Jackie” “Have you heard Tee play “Tenderly’?” This vivacious little gal has her mind set on becoming an elementary teacher someday. MHere’s hoping Jackie gets a better bunch than the class of ’55 in its younger days. Any- way, with her friendly smile and never-tiring patience she is well on the road of success. ALICE ELIZABETH HAYNES “ Alice’’ “T don’t know.” Did you ever go into the lunchroom and not see Alice? Well, it couldn’t have happened more than once or twice, because Alice has been faithful to the lunchroom ever since she started working there. Loyalty is only one of Alice’s many nice quali- ties. Always cheerful and helpful in her quiet way, this gal gained no enemies and many friends during her stay at B. H. S. PEGGY JOYCE HOPKINS Peg-leg”’ “Now how ’bout that!” Did you see that No. 42 pass that basketball? This girl could out-jump any opponents (except maybe a kangaroo). Peggy’s frisky ways and crazy antics (such as turning a chicken loose in English class) have brought much mirth to the class of ’55. Hats cff to a great girl! ANNE BOWER JOHNSON “Anne” “ Horrors!”’ Horrors is right, for without her glasses this character is dangerous. And talk—yak, yak, yak all day. And sneeze— ah-choo, ah-choo, every period. Although she’s a born com- edienne, some of her puns are rather puny. No offense intended —despite her crazy shenanigans, she’s an intelligent, hard- working lassie whom we all admire. NANCY ETHEL JOHNSON SNolee” “Got two letters from Bill today.” Although Nancy simply walked off with the title of most conceited, she’s a mighty sweet and sensible gal. Her main interest for the past four years or so has been one Bill Bower, but her pretty face and dignified ways have won her many more admirers. le. js

DORIS MARIE CRAWFORD “ Doris” “Well, Pll have to wait until I ask Jeryl.”’ Doris invaded B. H. S. in her sophomore year and since then has become known as the “class silence-breaker’’ because of her pathetic little sneeze which interrupts many a dull class. We hope that she will enjoy being rid of her two pet peeves now that graduation is over. Doris, did you say that they were Miss Bibb’s English and Pee Wee’s pestering in Government? ANNE COPELAND DENTON “ Dent”’ “T’m sorry I’m late!” No wonder Anne is late sometimes, with all the things she does. A nne is a very capable girl in both the field of journal- ism and of radio. At present she has a third interest which is taking up more time than the other two ever did. We have guessed a certain Gene R. Whom de you think it is? FRANK HARVEY DOOLEY “Frank” “ce Huh! 9 The shy, silent type fits Frank’s description perfectly. Two things which he excells in other than those mentioned above, however, are art and music. He entertained everyone on the bus to New York with his fancy harmonica playing. Above all, Frank, keep up your friendly smile and you really won’t need words to bring you success in life. WILLIAM SAUNDERS DRISCOLL ay Sy fie? “Well, you don’t say!” If you see a flock of females hovering around one dashing male, more than likely it will be Casanova Driscoll dishing out the charm to a few of his admirers. Besides his irresistible charm for the opposite sex, Bill has many talents in other fields, his chief interest being that of athletics. In fact, Bill was perhaps the biggest contributor to the record that this year’s track team was the greatest in the history of B. H. S. THELMA MAY EDWARDS “Thelma” Salunonnel 5 5» ILS wae See.” Thelma, our blushing little blond, seemed to blush more than usual in certain classes this year (Monsieur Aubrey’s, perhaps). She was always willing to stop anything which she was doing in order to help her classmates with a lesson. Thelma, don’t ever neglect that worthy trait of lending a helping hand. WILLIAM ALEXANDER EUBANK ee Nae” “Gee whiz, Miss Ida!” Zoom!!! Was it a bird, a plane? No, it was Pee Wee, just practicing up to run the mile. This speedy character is never seen calmly sitting down for he is always darting from one place to another looking for either someone or something. Could his favorite subject be chemistry? (We’re kidding, of course). LOUISE MAGDALINE FIZER “ Louise” “For goodness sakes!” Sweet and demure is our Louise; however, on the volleyball court it’s a different story. She has one of the most wicked serves on the team. Some folks say that Louise is bashful; we don’t know but we do know someone who may be able to throw some light on the subject, namely, “Berk”. THOMAS ALLEN FOSTER “Tommy” “That’s too bad!” When Tommy made the statement that what he was going to miss at B. H. S. was “missing’’, he never said a truer thing in his life. What we’d like to know is—how he got A’s on English tests after having missed for a couple of weeks before taking it. One thing we have found out about him is that even though he is considered bashful and quiet, we don’t know of a soul who likes a party better than he. EA — LN) Ww +

BETTY RAY LAZENBY “Betty Ray” “Oh, I miss Charles!” Betty Ray may have spent quite a bit of time pining for Charles, but she had plenty left for other activities—such as becoming a real whiz at basketball. She kept the baskets swinging and the coaches singing—but what we’ll miss her for most is that real gone giggle! SHIRLEY VIRGINIA LEFTWICH “ Shirley” Ttasmt tai 7 Who is that, you ask? Well, that neat girl is Shirley. She’s the one who decided to go for a bus ride in New York—or was it a bus driver? Shirley’s neatness and charm won her many masculine admirers, but she was always fancy free. More power to you, gal! MARGARET ELIZABETH LEMON Margaret” SINK) emay aay, Ul. 2 Margaret invaded B. H. S. in a very unobtrusive way back in our Junior year, and never has created much of a commo- tion. She contributed a fine voice to the Glee Club and Music Class, and was quite capable in her studies. However, we’ll always think of her as the bashful blonde with little to say. LARRY DELANOR LYNCH Gf De “I’m kinda sleepy.” This guy could sleep in any position or place, but half out cf a desk in government class seemed to be his favorite. He was usually drowsy, but he was usually cheerful, too—and that we appreciated more. L. D. will go places in this world, if he can just stay awake long enough to get there. JAMES EDMOND MARSH “ Jim ” “Ves, Miss Bibb, I’m staying in for you today.” There’s nothing like a woman-hater to draw feminine sighs, especially a six-foot-five blonde character who is a star in sports and president of yeah-many organizations. But since Jim proved immune to all wiles, the gals soon abandoned the chase, and left the poor dope to go on alone. Although he likes his own company, we predict that he’ll fall some day—and fall hard. HELEN CLAIRE NANCE Helen” “You-all hush.” Here’s a girl with real Southern charm (accent and all). Memories of B. H. S. faded rather rapidly for Helen, erased by June wedding bells. But we’re sure that someday she’ll remem- ber that she was the belle of Bedford High during both Home- Coming time and the May Day festivities. SHIRLEY ANN NOELL “ Shirley” ma licanvtd Onitam Just from observing Shirley’s sweet and demure ways, you’d never guess that she’s strong enough to knock a volleyball from one wall to another in the gym, and almost through that wall! But she is—ancther thing we found out in phys. ed. class. Shirley’s pet peeve seemed to be homework, but she still managed to do very well in classes. EDMOND WILSON OVERSTREET “ Ned” “Great balls of fire!”’ This guy seems just as quiet as a mouse, but get him started and there is your party all in one bundle. Ned amazes people most with his long, easy stride. When V. P. I. gets hold of Ned they will get a real gone... !! (Let’s let Tech find out without help.) After all, we did. A Ga oe — Se ee a
