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.
