advancement in leadership and service. To many it is both and more. We the Class of 1964, in appreciation of the countless people who have molded BHS and the spirit of progress found here, and in the sincere hope that we, too, may be a part of the fine tradition of the school, dedicate this, The 1964 Peaks to progress... and those whose vision has made dreams reality.

As we review the year 1964, we become aware of sev- eral footfalls in the march of progress. The most pre- dominant one is steady, neither long nor short, remind- ing us of the daily routine—the almost tedious detail of planning and the tremendous amount of study that has been the largest part of our school year. The keen obser- ver notices the hasty steps taken by those seeking to meet deadlines and finish projects. There are also heavy steps and light ones, for there have been moments of per- sonal disappointment—and elation. Those who have dared try to achieve have found that at some times, success is elusive, but it is seldom totally out of grasp. One feature shared by all our footsteps is that they go forward. Progress has been the one main trait of Bed- ford High throughout its history, and this has held true in the final year. In fact, although we feel regret at leav- ing the school which is a cherished part of our lives, we realize that it is the spirit of progress which has made the move necessary. We know that as long as there is a progressive attitude in Bedford County, BHS will not be forgotten, for the school lives in the spirit she has cul- tivated.
