BENJAMIN VVATKINS BEDFORD, JR. Entered - September, 1942 l.aligo - Social Editor Round Table - Contributor Senior Play Dance Committees-f 19-12, '-13. '-H, '45 Fall l942 most ellicient private Probable College -4 Undef-ifled dw dfwlff BEN came to T.C.D. in the tall ol 1941, and soon after his arrival he became the social leader ot the school. An eminent authority on the subject of social functions, Ben has become the prime factor in all these activities. Ben malces many contacts through the dit- ferent schools, and seems to have a female admirer in most every neighborhood. One can- not tulle ol Ben and forget to mention the tact that he is a jitterbug of high standing. This is proved by the tact that he may be lound inside a crowd of people wildly jitterbugging at most any dance. Somewhat resembling lrranlaie, Ben has a very good voice, not tor sing- ing, however, but lor spealcing. Several times each year he is called upon to deliver some speech which requires the experience of such a colorful spealcer. Due to his past record here at Country Day we all feel assured that Ben's personality and mental alertness will win him acclaiin in any school. Best wishes. bv' as s S 93, Wig dba -:S
