programs. With aproiw ruleA and luammem Such skilled stagehands as mechanics, car- penters, electricians and machinists can build a mighty stage set for a powerful performance. Bradford High's own radio announcer, Mr. Callahan, taught mechanical and related draw- ing. The Radio Broadcasting Club, which he sponsored, studied the art and technique of broadcasting. This club supplied the student an- nouncers for the morning and closing bulletins and school broadcasts. f Cooking, sewing and home-making made easy in one hundred-eighty lessons! Our pretty home-making instructor, Mrs. George, did just that for the home-making girls. Many benefited from her friendly advice about problems from dress-making to redecorating a room. She was very obliging in making costumes for assembly Mr. Griffiths, busy Director of Vocational Education, was safety man for Bradford High The mechanical drawing classes of Mr. Callahan ran into intricate and involved work. Mr. Callahan explained the different sections of a gear-shift bracket as illus- trated by the blue prints. During the auto lab period, Mr. Kennedy pointed out the dilterential of a car to a group of sophomores and iuniors. lt all looked so very complicated to the uninitiatecl. Twenty Once in awhile the oil lab boys got outside to do a little work in surveying. Leonard Wilson checked the transit and Paul Madison recorded the numbers while they practiced. The generator and regulator tester, new this year, came in handy many times. Robert Hurst and William McLaughlin used it to run a test on a stubborn motor.

In this modern world, alert and informed leaders are needed to preserve our democratic rights and ideals. Prere- quisite for such leadership is a thorough understand- ing of past history and present problems. The social science department was well versed in its part of teaching the students this vital knowledge. Mr. Brace, a veteran in the social science depart- ment, acquainted his classes with the drama of world history. He handled the classes of economic geog- raphy. Assistant football coach and co-sponsor of the football club, he helped the Owls develop into a well- balanced team. A native of Bradford, always calm, cool and collected, Miss Currie made Bradford history and city problems an integral part of each senior in her classes. Patiently she answered all the questions and even re- solved the confusion about the seniors' term papers. She encouraged the Welfare Committee to conduct many community drives. Twenty-two so C l X.,
