Being a student or staff member at Bedford Middle School on Wednesday, April 2, 2008, was unlike being a faculty member on any typical school day.Former President Bill Clinton was scheduled to speak at 1:00 P.M. in the Quarry on behalf of his wife’s campaign.Security was tight at BMS—so tight, in fact, that I was asked to show ID before I walked through my own school’s parking lot.With all the doors of BMS’s main building locked for safety, we Cutters watched the long lines of supporters, the security detail, and the new crews through our windows.
