Theme For this volume of the Bradford Senior High School year book, The Barker, the Class of 1934 has selected a theme in keeping with the founding of the free public school system in the state of Pennsylvania. This year, 1934, marks the one hundredth anniversary of the establishment of free public schools in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In the year 1834, an act providing for the establishment of a general system of education was passed by the Legislature. This is the most important date in the educational history of Pennsylvania. The passage of the Act of 1834 was the begin- of free schools for the entire state. The act seemed destined to be abolished before it was put into force, but under the eloquent leadership of Thaddeus Stevens, the repeal of the Law of 1834 not only was defeated, but another act was passed simplifying and strengthening the free school system. So at this time, we, the Class of 1934, as a small part of that educational system, wish to pay our tribute of sincere and heartfelt gratitude to the man who made our educational system possible, and to whom we owe so much---Thaddeus Stevens!

Foreword Q The Barker ! What does it mean to you? The class of 1928 acloptecl the name of The Barker to be applied to the school year book. A barker, as used in the local oil Helds, was a whistle-like affair used on the exhaust of the engines which pumped the oil wells. This whistle served as a reporter of the fact that the well uwas off and that the engine had finished it,s day's work. In the same sense this annual also marks the close of high school work for the members of the class of 1934. The little old barker of the oil fields is still remembered and in publishing this book we hope, in years to come, we too, shall be remem- bered. We have finished our work in high school and in this book we leave a record of what we have done. We are grateful to the public of the Oil Metropolis of the World, Bradford, Pennsylvania, for its patronage throughout our school career. To it and to the under classmen whose assistance has been very helpful, we now say, Farewell!
