M. On this happily awaited day forty B. H. S. seniors received their high school diplomas and best wishes from Mr. Borden, the principal. The Rev. P. C. Helmintoller offered the invocation followed by the salutatory delivered by Anne Denton. Dr. Earl Moreland, President of Randolph-Macon College, gave the main address, in which he advised the graduates that co- operation was the basic factor to develop in order to achieve success in their future lives. After the awarding of diplomas and monograms, Elizabeth Burks, valedictorian, gave the farewell address. This was a glorious but sad day for the graduates, and one which they shall always remember with pride. CLASS SONG OF 195 We sing to you of years gone by, Our carefree days are ending. Our song a source of future thought, For we are not pretending. Since here we are—life’s py door, No Magic Carpet takes us o’er. We'll face the future working for Our standards high and worthy. And now we leave old Bedford High, Our hopes and aims are soaring. The memories of the days gone by Will keep us ever knowing. The friends we made, the victories won The challenge met, the battles done. The hills we climbed, our course to run Will keep us ever going. “ef 28 je
