On September 4, 1933, when the doors of Bedford High School opened, a large crowd of bashful boys and girls reported to the Freshman home rooms. School was very difficult for them at first, but it was only a short time until eighty-one members knew their way about the building. It was not organized as a group that year, but the class was divided alphabetically into three sections, or home rooms. The officers of these were as follows: D1 section: Pres¬ ident, Catherine Davidson; vice president, Ruth Arnold; secretary, Janet Claar. D2 section: President, Paul Housel; vice pres¬ ident, Helen Johnson; secretary, Jean Leader. D3 section: President, Earle Riggs; vice president, Wayne Tripplett; secretary, Betty Seifert. During the Sophomore year of these eighty-one students, the class was organized as a whole during the month of November and the following officers were elected: Pres- Just the Junior officers gathered in a popular nook for a short meeting.

When September came, the loyal members of the class of ’37 returned to school, filled with more vim and vigor than at any time pievious. At the first class meeting, the following officers were elected: President, Paul Housel; vice president, Samuel Fickes; secretary-treasurer, Ruby Defibaugh; sponsor, Mr. Sproul. Being overwhelmed with energy and ambition, the class gave the fiist large party of the season, which was held on November 22, 1£35. It was attended by practically every member of the school, and was a grand success. In the middle of this year, the school sponsored a “Fiesta.” Lach class entered some contestants to compete for “Fiesta Queen.” The Juniors entered their candidates. One of these candidates, Betty Whitmore, was crowned queen. We may proudly admit that the Junior Class is well repre¬ sented in athletics, music, debate, dramatics, and other school organizations, and has helped in winning many awards for the school by its talent.
