SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the year 1938 the calm serenity of Bedford High school was shattered by the invasion of some sixty fearless children, merely green freshmen, who challenged the upper-classmen to a bitter battle from beginning to end. To this band of daredevils the World was theirs, and from their first year on, the faculty of Bedford High school looked to- ward the future with grave doubt. First year officers Were: Vir- ginia Clayton, president 3 Ben Morris, vice--president, Lavonne Hamilton, secretary-treasurer. As freshmen these children displayed talents in athletics- musiic, dramatics, and scholastic- endeavor, to say nothing of their overpowering co-nceit. Class par- ties Were the high lights of their first year. - Ben Morris, president, Jean- nette Lucas, vice-presidentg Rob- ert Salen, secretary-treasurer, were the elected officers of the second year. It was during this year that the athletic ability of the class blended with that of other classes to produce one of the few undefeated football teams in the school's history. A scavenger hunt was the year's outstanding social event. As juniors they elected La- vonne Hamilton, presidentg Charlotte Kennedy, vice - presi- dent 5 and Robert Snyder, secre- tary-treasurer. This year the class really came into its own. The two outstanding events of the year were the class play and the banquet, thrilling events in the class' memory. As sophisticated seniors, loaf- ing on their laurels, the class e- lected Robert Avey, president 3 Charlotte Kennedy, vice - presi- dent, and Dorlee Ranbarger sec- retary-treasurer. The high school dances were undoubtedly the highlights of this year. With their unusual athlet- ic, musical, dramatic, and schol- astic ability, the class of 1942 Was a difficult one to take, but far more difficult to lose. They leave marble halls and scarred desks with a tear in one eye and the fire of battle in the other.
