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.

She sponsored the Usher- ing Club, whose members gave freely of their time to serve at school and civic func- tions. In addition, she presided over the meetings of the sophomore advisors and headed the Election Committee. Mr. Pockey, the peppy and dapper So- cial Dancing Club advisor, was a big sur- prise in a small package of helpful infor- mation. His history classes discovered that American history and Problems of Demo- cracy became very interesting through his view. His active cafeteria committee sold candy and kept the cafeteria a pleasant place in which to eat. Problems of Democracy in American history became clear, concise matters of fact when solved with Miss Titus. Cheerfully and clearly she explained such confusing matters as the organization of totalitarian government and Hamilton's idea for a fed- eral bank. She indulged in her hobby of sewing in her Needlecraft Club and headed the Awards Committee. The big, wide, wonderful world became real and small to sophomores in the hands of tall, sedate Mr. Walker. His students tramped the ruins of old Rome and fought in the Napoleonic Wars. With Mr. Olson, he greatly increased the forcefulness of the de- bators by his expert coaching. 1 . mi, , .L A 1 is P- ln Mr. Brace's geography class, Bonnie Nichols pointed out to Bev Whelan the state of Montana as the third largest state in the United States, the state de- voting the largest acreage to farming. lesson as he painted o r lndia's racial problems. f Miss Currie's senior classes studied many phases of history, including city planning and current events.
