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

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.
