Recognition of scholarship, leadership, character, and service is the aim of the National Honor Society. Juniors and seniors who have a scholastic average of 90 or above are eligible for membership. The faculty votes for these students on the basis of the other three qualities. The organization has three main projects: the selec- tion of a Student of the Month from each class; selec- tion of a Student of the Year from the seniors who were made Students of the Month; and letters of con- gratulation sent to students achieving honor-roll status for each six weeks and for each semester. Mary Ellen Matson, secretary, and Peter Phillips, president, of the National Honor Society are signing letters of commendation to stu- dents who have made the honor roll.

Sponsored by Mrs. Richardson, Student Council was established by Mr. W. F. Totten in 1941. The fore- runners of this governing body were Boy Sponsors, established in 1924, and the Girls Council, established 1926. As a member of the National Association of Student Councils, Bedford High School's Student Council has the responsibility of administering student government. This group, composed of six representatives from each class, is in charge of conducting and tabulating the re- sults of the class elections and the cheer leader elec- tions. An industrious organization, Student Council has worked hard to build school spirit by promoting Color Day, on which everyone wears something red and white. They conduct the sale of used books and the slave auction. The profit from the slave auction was used to assist the school in the purchase of the student handbooks which were distributed this year. The Student Council also sponsors the annual home- coming parade and dance and the election of home- coming queen. 16

FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS I I II TO RIGHT: Mr. Moon, sponsor; Susan Bair, secretary-treasurer; Luke Mooneybam, president; Bob Canada, vice-president. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS LEFT TO RIGHT: Anne Szatkouski, secretary-treasurer; Steve Harris, president; Dale Chase, vice-president; Mr. Warren Wagner, sponsor. UNDERCLASS LEADERS The underclass officers have been busy planning money-making projects to finance their junior and senior activities. The highlight of the sophomore year was the selecting and ordering of class rings, which will arrive early in the 1962 school year. The freshman class has even fewer activities than the sophomore class. The officers have been diligently trying to become oriented in the duties connected with the representation of their class. Both the sophomore and freshman officers have charge of collecting class dues, an important source of income. PERSEVERE Anonymous The fisher who draws in his net too soon, Won't have any fish to sell; The child who shuts up his book too soon, Won't learn any lessons well. If you would have your learning stay, Be patient — don't learn too fast; The man who travels a mile each day, May get round the world at last. — From McG tffey's Third 1 (.,k i WORK WHILE YOU WORK Anonymous Work while you work, Play while you play; One thing each time, That is the way. All that you do, Do with your might; Things done by halves Are not done right. — From McG rffey's Primer 18
