T II K PIONEER in which she will teach them the beneficial studv of making As. William Scoggan will become one of the most prosperous farmers of this locality.

THE NONKKR 3Cnst Him anil (testament of tlie (Class of 1920 It is a dark dreary March day in the year 1935. For hours the hail and the rain have been driving against the windows of a pretty little brown bungalow. Before a l ox of old books and papers, in her father's study, is seated I’.etty Ann. the winsome (laughter of I’rofcssor and Mrs. Abbott. Since the weather is so bad. she is amusing herself indoors. Betty Ann is very busy looking through her father's old papers, when suddenly she picks up a business-like document. It especially attracts her attention, because of the large red seal and because of the green and white ribbons around it. The ribltons are worn and faded, yet they full'd the important duty of holding this precious document together. Betty Ann. fearing t break the seal herself, yet very eager to know what it contains, goes in search of her mother, whom she finds in a cozy living room before a cheerful grate fire. “Mother, what is this? she says. Mrs. Abbctl. taking the document, replies. Why. dear, this is the will of the class of 1920. in which your father was so much interested. When he came to Bedford, this class was just entering High School. With the proper training and encouragement, it became one of the largest and finest classes ever graduated from Bedford High School. Would you like for me to read this?” So urged by Betty Ann. she unties the ribbons, breaks the seal, and reads: We. the members of the Senior Class of 1920. being in our right minds, do declare this to be our last will and testament. To the Faculty, we leave our best wishes and boundless gratitude for the splendid care of us during our four short years in B. II. S. To the Juniors, we leave some of our pep. May they realize their responsibility and be successful in their coming year. To the first and second year students, we leave our sympathy, good will, and advice, Never give up. Fred Callahan leaves his numerous positions of Class President, basketball star. etc., to Joseph Cczar. May Joe be guided in his career by his darning crown of beauty. Doc” Radcliffc leaves his loud, skreaky and soul-killing voice to Georgia Carter, who can put it to good use. Nellie Mitchell, queen of the drooping eyelids, leaves her Cleopatra ways to Gertrude Reynolds. Sally Miller leaves her ability to rush Harold Tatom and other first-year lx vs to Ruth Standish. I .eland Armstrong, director of the famous B. II. S. Band, leaves his position to his world famous rival. Olin Trogdcn. Olin recently took up the Kazoo That instrument made him famous. With this reputation alone, the band must and will succeed. Catherine Allen leaves her smiling nose, winking mouth, and Roman eyes to any girl capable of using them as she did. We would suggest Bessie Short. Harlan Bailey, better known as Thomas A. Edison, the second, leaves his wonderful notes and ability in Physics to William McFadden. May Bill only study and follow the straight and narrow path that Monk did.
