SENIOR HISTORY On September 7, 1937, the halls of Bradford Senior High School were again besieged by ia new Sophomore Class. Although our previous experience in the building during our seventh grade afforded us some comfort, we found ourselves somewhat bewildered and filled with awe. Mr. Schilling called our first meeting in October at which we chose the following class oflicers: James Ferry, Gordon Fiske, Helen Goodman, Betty Girard and our adviser, Mr. Ford Ellenberger. With Washington now only three years away we started to make money for our trip. We pre- sented Tom Sawyer as our first activity and later we sold compacts with much success. We presented for the student body an assembly program and the Annual Ath- letic Banquet for the football players. And so we ended our sophomore year. We had worked hard and gained know- ledge and satisfaction from it. As Juniors we came back to a somewhat different school. Construction was already started on the new wing and vocational school. We were again going half days but this time our class was divided. Despite these adverse con- ditions, we organized our class and elected the following officers: Milton Brandow, Mary Lynn Carrier, and Betty Girard. Mr. Ellenberger was re-elected as our class adviser. Later we presented a successful play The Adorable Age. As our last activity we held the annual Junior-Senior Prom in honor of the Seniors. So under a new principal, Mr. Prettyman, and in the mists of hammers and saws, we ended our junior year. We entered our senior year with great hopes and am- bitions for scholastic attainments and social activities. In order to raise money for our nearing Washington trip the class sold candy and hot dogs at the football games. We had a football hop and a Leap Year Dance both of which were deemed successful. After much planning we had our Bazaar on February 17. With the results from these acti- vities to raise money, the class presented June Mad on March 15. Then on March 25, 178 over-joyed and excited Seniors started on their long awaited trip to the Capitol. Space does not permit giving the details of those five glorious days of sightseeing so it is suificient to say we returned home happy, feeling that our three years of work were not in vain. The last three months of our high school career passed much too quickly, and all too soon it was time for us to leave. With Commencement three of the happiest and most eventful years of our lives were brought to a close. Three years association with an understanding, patient faculty and endearing friends whom we shall never forget. 14
