Allen Strawn, Harold Smith, Tim Whorley, Bobby Scott, Roy Vaughn, Bruce Skelley, Ginger Reynolds, Molly Jenkins, and Mar- cia Ramsey, BHS’s largest delega- tion ever to All State Chorus, study their music before leaving. The winning of an award makes hours of work seem worthwhile. Suddenly all the ten- sion of competition and haste of a busy schedule are forgotten and only the moments of pleasure and exhiliration remain. Honors may be won in every field represented at Bedford High, so all have an opportunity to compete. The high degree of sportsmanship at BHS has encouraged keen .competition and taught the arts of winning and losing. Whether a student is chosen for one of the highest honors or not, he is given a chance to gain the experience of competition and the satisfaction of a job well done. Jean Scott and Henry Fizer, Bedford High’s two National Merit Scholarship Finalists, com- pare the offerings of their favorite colleges in the library.
