The industrial and business leaders were struck by the deep concentration and marked application of todayis youth. They received a fleeting glimpse of varied activities without which school life would become monot- onous and humdrum. The distinguished guests were presented choice seats at the afternoonis assembly in the Senior High auditorium. A round table discussion climaxed the representativeis visit to the schools. The visitors presented the questions which had arisen in the course of their day. Mr. Floyd C. Fretz was chairman of the round table discussion.

The businessmen, a number of them Brad- ford High Alumni, felt that old school spirit re- juvenated Within them as they once more 'cat- tended classesf, Revised methods of teaching and more active student participation constituted but two of the many steps forward on the road to better education, In the morning, the representa- tives of business and industry visited the various kindergarten classes and rade schools through- out the Bradford area. Tlgiey viewed the handi- work of youngsters between the ages of four and eleven who favorably impressed their visitors. The tact and ingenuity necessary in the molding of young minds was very much in evidence. OUR PATRON S C. I. johnson Company johnson Restaurant Arthur L.

On Thursday, November 15, 1951, the faculty members and students in the Bradford area played host to elective representatives of local industries and commercial establishments. Rea- soning that turn-about is fair playf the Bradford educators determined to point out to their visitors the manner in which modern day children re- ceive their scholastic training. This program promoted still further, the concete understanding between the two fields. It was apparent to all that a definite relationship does exist between business or industry and educationg and that this relationship is a truly important ingredient of the democratic way of life in America.

The principles of good salesmanship were aptly demonstrated by capable employees, well trained in the arts of courtesy and amiable ser- vice. The appraisal of Bradfordis banking insti- tutions and insurance agencies provided a fuller realization of that indispensable security which they offer to every individual. The final mile- stone in their observations was the visitation of the utilities which are responsible for many of the comforts and conveniences that are too often taken for granted.

Seventeen industries actively participated in this program specifically designed to strengthen the ties between the industrial and educational fields of Bradford. Local and area educators were greatly fascinated by giant hydraulic mech- anisms, intricate, equilibrated machinery and the skilled workmanship which play such an essen- tial part in the efficiency and output of any manu- facturing division. They received first hand in- formation and were conducted in an on-the-spot investigation which clarified their ideas of the precision and coordination involved in assembly line production. These enlightening glimpses served to broaden their understanding. OUR PATRONS Clark and Humphrey Morris I. Cook - Packard Motors Margaret M.

This program was put into operation in the hope that the tours of the industrial and commercial institutions of Bradford would promote a better understanding of the problems of running a busi- ness. The experience of that day contributed to a better appreciation of those problems, thereby better qualifying Bradford,s leaders in education to train their students. This was truly an innova- tion brightening the highway of school life. Mr. Wm. Wonsettler, Mr. WV. Robertson, Mr. I. Bird and Mr. R.

During the winter, hasketl'Jall, marching, hadniinton, exercises and other games kept the students in trim. 1. Gotta keep in condition! Mr. Paige led the hoys in musele-developing exercises at the beginning of third period gym. 2. Sound off! Vaughn Munroe had nothing on these marching athletes who were training in timing and eoordina- tion. 3. If grim determination wins games, this contest should have been a tie.

Only six lettermen re- turned from the 1950 team. Track meets got off to a slow start. Bradford lost the initial meet to Kane. For the first time in years, Bradford lost the county meet at Smethport. The Owls also lost the district meet for the first time in eighteen years. They finished the season losing a close battle with VVarren. The only Wins were over johnsonburg and Port Allegany.

Coach Harold Brace He's our man-for thirteen years, proud mentor of top notch Owl squads. Under his coaching, nine teams won the District Nine championship. Harold Brace has resigned, but his reputa- tion as an outstanding coach will long be remembered in this district. DISTRICT NINE FINALISTS Bradfordis Owls and Brookville's Raiders drew byes to open the District Nine PIAA playoffs. The Kane YVolves downed the DuBois Beavers 73 to 43 at Brook- ville, and Punxsutawney took Clearfield 57 to 38 at DuBois. The Owls edged a tough Alumni squad, 53 to 51, to stay in perfect condition for their game with Kane in the Olean Armory, Olean, N. Y. The Owls blasted the stubborn VVolves 71 to 57 with a furious second half. The undefeated Punxsy Chucks topped Brookville at Clearfield, 65 to 51, and 'earned the right to play the Owls for the championship at Kane on March 18th, The Owls held their own against the Chucks in the first half, but trailed by S points in the third period. In the fourth quarter, with four Owls and three Chucks out on fowls, the Braccmen tied the score at 43 all. With a minute and a half left, the Chucks spurted for 5 points to the Owlls 1, and captured the District Nine crown. At the final buzzer, the scoreboard read Bradford 44, Punxsy 48. Throughout th-e season, the Owls displayed a terrific spirit that carried them through their toughest games. The Owl reserves proved to be of valuable assistance and made thc team a mighty unit. The squadls sportsman- ship, will to win, accurate shooting, and aggressive play earned for them the respect of their fans and opponents. Its season record of 18 wins and 2 defeats spot- lighted the superior brand of all Brace-coached teams. 144 IN IVIEMORIAIVI Lieutenant Howard Griffin August 9, 1922 .... October 6, 1951 In November, 1950, Howard Griffin was called a second time into the service of his country. A year later everyone at Bradford Senior High was stunned to learn that he had been killed in action in Korea. In searching for the most appropriate part of the 1952 Barker in which to dedicate a page to the memory of Howard Griffin, the Barker staff finally decided that a place in the Athletics section would have pleased him most. It was a difficult choice, for Coach Griffin would have felt at home anywhere. In classes, because he was an outstanding member of the B.H.S. graduating class of 1940, his classmates recognized his worth by voting him their vice- president and best sportf, Equally fitting would have been a place in Activities or Administration, for he was a member of the Barker staff of 1940, and returned to his Alma Mater in 1947 as a member of the faculty. He taught history and was an assistant coach of football. But Howard Griffin will always hold a high rank in the sports annals of B.H.S. As a student, he was an eight letter man in football, basketball, and track. Later he became an assistant coach. By his example, he instilled in the football teams of 1947, 1948, 1949, and 1950, that urge to win that was so much a part of himself. In Coach Howard Griffin, Bradford Senior High School lost an enthusiastic supporter, a capable faculty member, a faithful alumnus, and, as the members of his graduating class had so accurately foreseen eleven years ago, a best sportf, 1 I COA H-TE lVI-PEP- TEAM CHEERLEADERS-Row I: Janice Hedley, Sally Stcngel, Natalie Marks, Fay Poulos. Row II: Janice Littlefield, Marg Lechiara, Mary Phillips, Kay Johnston. The cheerleaders added that bit of sparkle and zest to the crisp autumn air at the football games. They shouted themselves hoarse, urging the boys to greater glory and the fans to greater volume. When basketball season rolled around, the cheerleaders were much in evi- dense in the crowded gym. Not only were they loud in their support of the team at home, but they traveled with them to many distant points to show athletic rivals that Bradford really had school spirit. y 142 MR.

Coach Wilcox George Wilcox coached the Junior High team successfully as well as help- ing with the varsity. His forte is im- proving the line play of the Owls. Bradford 13 Warren 6 Taking on Warren in their third road game of the year, the Owls found the Dragons really up for this one. Warren drove for their only TD in the opening quarter and stopped all Owl threats in the first half. The Owls rose to great heights in the second half by pushing over two touchdowns, sparked by Bell's pinpoint passing and Bizzaro's excellent receiving. Bradford 25 Meadville 19 The Owls' track-team backfield, led by Bob Defonzo, who scored all of Bradford's touchdowns, made the difference in the Owls' third home game of the season. The Bulldogs' running game was powerful for the greater part of the game, but their defense was no match for the crisp Owl blocks in the second half. Each team displayed terrific running in this close battle. Bradford 46 Erie St. Vincent 19 The Bulldogs of Vincent gave the fans a thrill by scoring on the first play from scrimmage, but Bradford took over from that point on. VVith Dick Bell again tossing bullseye passes, and each back sprinting for long gains, the Owls steadily wore down their opponents. The line play of the Owls also shone, putting on a great show of power. Milliron and Sutherland starred on offense and defense. Bradford 38 Olean 0 After a four-year lapse, the Owls moved into Olean and romped over the Huskies on a Held made muddy by earlier snows. All the seniors, sparked by Monty Edelis superb run- ning, played their best ball game of the year! The temporary goal posts came down as Coach Denning rode triumphantly from the field on his players' shoulders. It was a fitting tribute to the genial mentor who demonstrated winning waysi' on and off the gridiron. 137 Coach Phillips Ed Phillips, a former star Owl, aug- mented the coaching staff by instructing the backs. He also coached the junior varsity squad.

Th-e Owls great spirit and savage tackling saved the game, which was played in a light drizzle. Bradford 41 Johnsonbmg 0 Playing their first road game of the season, the Owls were stymied until the second half when they blasted the Iohnnies with a furious ground and air attack featuring Bizzaro's pass- snatching and Edel's running. Both teams played good ball in the first half, but Johnsoburg finally withered under the con- stant Owl gains. Credit was due, also, to the valiant Bradford defense, which thwarted nearly all the Iohnsonburg pass at- tempts. DuBois 14 Bradford 13 A supercharged DuBois team, employing the tricky buck- lateral series, drove for long gains through the puzzled Owl defense, although the Owls struck twice in the meantime, to lead 13-7 at the half. Bradfordis second half defense proved to be stubborn, but the Beav-ers finally managed to plunge over for the score, after a long pass completion, and booted the popint that made the difference. Bradford 27 Erie Tech 6 Coming home to avenge their defeat in DuBois, Bradford let the Centours from Erie score first, but this slim lead didn't last long, for the Owls, offering a fine defense against Polagyi, Erie's triple-threat, erased all threats and punched over four touchdowns to ice the game. The second half proved too much for Tech, who lost all vitality under the Owl's steady drive. 136 iff 1 P1175 v I L 7 ff.- A' , V F . 1, v f 1 ,VX H' -Q-gh X -Q. fi.

The one-hundred Hfty-five active members learned the funda- mental dance routines of ballroom dancing, jitter- bugging, square dancing, and folk dancing. Miss M. Mottey, Mrs. D. Wilson, and Mr. Pockey, the agile advisors, demonstrated and taught the club members how to dance in perfect rhythm with the music. The boys and girls may have been a little shy at first, but gradually their shy- ness Wore off and there Was a lot of friendly com- petition for the most desirable partners. These junior Arthur Murraysv performed equally Well the new dance routines as Well as the old ones. Despite the temperamental character of the record player, the graceful prancers performed in the club periods on Tuesdays such dance steps as Waltzes, fox-trots, two steps, polkas, sambas, rhumbas, congos, tangos, and charlestons. Our cafeteria Was magically transformed into a make- believe ballroom. Because of their bubbling enthusiasm, the members made the Weekly dance sessions pleasant and enjoyable for all, including the sponsors. The members of this club had many opportunities to display their art at the well-attended school dances. FED Miss M.

The Key Club is an international organiza- tion, sponsored by local branches of the Kiwanis Club, in the principal cities of the United States. Its members do odd jobs around the school and community to raise money for needed equipment in the school. Any Key Club member is eligible to attend State and National Key Club Conven- tions, held this year in Pittsburgh and Chicago, respectively. Mr, Kusner, club advisor, and over- seer of each job, deserved credit for the unique manner in which this club operated and dis- tinguished itself. Each Key Clubber Won his position by main- taining a good scholastic record. Each one found that cooperation did the job. The Key Club operated concession stands for each home foot- ball game, ushered at horney' basketball games, sponsored a booth at the Mardi Gras dance, and made anv necessary repairs requested by the school. Each year the club presents the school with a valuable and needed utility. To date, an outdoor address system and a three speed phono- graph have been presented.

Boys who had a genuine interest in woodworking, carving, or model build- ing, and whose course of study did not permit their scheduling this subject, jumped at their op- portunity. They became very familiar and adept with the tools. These craftsmen completed many projects this year, coffee tables, end tables, and Harry johnson .... Secretary-Treasurer Mr. H.

The donor was Mr. W. Robertson, Bradford's new Oldsmobile dealer. Mr. Harry Garvin, sec- retary of McKean County Motor Club, and Mr. R. Giddings, training instructor, smiled their approval. Fifteen years ago, Bradford High School began what is now one of the most popular non- required courses offered by our school-Driverls Training. Since then, more than one hundred stu- dents, yearly, have become proud possessors of drivers, licenses. Mr. R. Giddings held classroom sessions to familiarize the students with various parts of a car, But classroom discussions were only a part of each driver's training. Every member looked forward to the day when he or she would be allowed to go out in the Oldsmobile Rocket 88,v for the first time. In spite of its name '6Rocket 88,v the Oldsmobile was driven With caution by the beginners. As an extra safety measure, the car has dual controls operated, when necessary, by Mr. Giddings.

The peppy members of these two squads, together with a certain few other girls who showed definite promise and decided inter- ests, made up the Cheerleading Club. This club, under the careful supervision of Mr. Lewis, strove to improve their cheering. The import- ance of lively motions was duly stressed as was the necessity for short, catchy cheers. Old yells were revised to meet modern standards and new yells were introduced to add variety. This con- scientous practice really produced results which ROW I-M. Lechiara, S. Stengel, F. Poulos, J.

These erstwhile lasses even raised enough money to purchase senior varsity sweaters by sponsoring The Boomalacka Ball after the Meadville football game on October 19, 1951. The varsity cheerleaders played a leading role in the selection of freshman cheerleaders whom they, themselves, helped train. The chil- dren attending Bradfordls grade schools owed their knowledge of the various yells to the indus- trious efforts of the junior varsity squad members, who not only instructed them, but led them in cheers at several football games.

These boys learned to manipulate the key board every other week, under the in- struction of Miss M. Raver, who taught them the main fundamentals of typing.

The boys have found the club very interesting, for they learned how to make many appetizing dishes. They specialized in pasteries, cakes, cookies, and other desserts, one-dish meals, and confections. This little group was busy every moment mixing and cooking some new treat. The person who was chosen to sample their luscious apple pie, or rich chocolate cake, or creamy smooth divinity was lucky.

Many happy hours were spent learning how to become the perfect hostess. This club made the most of its opportunities this year. Every member shared and took part in each new project, and strove to make tasty and appetizing dishes. The girls and boys of the club gained much from this excellent training in a practical skill, and enjoyed eating their experiments. GUOKING CLUB ROW I-B. Dempsey, F. Smith I.

They devoted all their time to accurate calculation. A newly formed club at B. H. S. existed for those ambitious students who wanted to master mathematics, the queen of the sciences. Have you ever needed to know the answer to a difHcult problem in plane or solid geometry, trigonometry or algebra. This year the person to ask was a member of the mathematics club. They would soon solve your problem. This club was com- posed of college preparatory students, who were looking ahead to greater competence in college math and better achievements on college en- trance examinations. All of the members actually enjoyed wrestling with Hgures and emerging vic- torious in the end with the correct answer. When a student just didnlt know what he should or should not do, to find the correct answer, he took the difliculty to Mr. Downing, the clubis advisor, and in no time the misunderstanding cleared away. Club period always found some members hard at work with complicated geometry theo- rems, others feverishly seeking the unknown quantity in an algebra equation and still others laboriously deciphering the area of a pyramidv or the root of the square on the hypotenusef' What a break for these budding Einstein'sl Work- ing mathematics for pleasure really ought to pay off.

Librarian For those people who liked to hear and study good music, the Record Collections Club certainly proved to be educational as well as entertaining. The members of the club listened in earnest to symphonies, sonatas, and concertos. They also listened to a variety of songs such as music from the play, 'Show Boatfi light operettas, recordings by Mario Lanza, Bing Crosby, and others whom they admired a great deal. Al- though the members liked to listen to music, they also studied the lives of different composers and the backgrounds of the artists. It wasn't all fun, and no work.

The members really worked hard to get down patv the things they learned, and when anyone asked them who wrote the WVarsaW Concerto they werenit surprised when they came up with the answer, because they were quite learned students of music. The special project of the members this past year was to make their own constitution and by-laws. DOWN MELODY LAN Row 1-s. Lundin, 1. Zizka, N. Talerico, B.

The students who possessed that certain yearning toward the theater and bright footlights, promptly placed their names on the list which constituted the members of the junior-Senior Dramatics Club. These would-be thespians, in- terested in acting, stage technique, and produc- tion, vastly enjoyed reading various types of plays during their club period. As the year pro- gressed, they became familiar with stage tech- nique and copy rights.

For the majority, however, it provided a pleasant diversion from the academic side of school life.

Snappy majorettes marching down the foot- ball Held during the half, doing tricky formations, wielding acrobatic batons, were much talked about accomplishments of the Twirling Club. This active club was skillfully directed by Mrs. Sylvia George, who, along with the experienced majorettes, made a very interesting and enter- taining enterprise of their club. The project was made to order for the girls who wanted to master the technique of baton twirling, a majorette's snappy stepping and acrobatic feats. No experi- ence was needed to join the club. The members were taught the necessary fundamentals of baton twirling such as a Figure Eightf and gradually acquired many fascinating routines. The girls worked hard to have the precision of perfect timing in their twirls. They practiced formation marching, as well as twirling. The experienced majorettes worked during the club with new routines and helped new members attain twirling skill. Soon the new members were performing the difficult movements with ease. The success of the club promises lively majorettes to lead the band down the field during the football season, in the year to come. We are assured by the in- terest and talent developed in this club of out- standing majorettes, and many thrilling half-time exhibitions. WORTHY OPPONENT Paul Titus ...,.... ...,.........

Each club member worked hard in friendly competition with the others in trying to secure a position on one of the two top teams. Speech and argument, two big objectives for each club member, were eventually mastered. The trips to area schools and the victories won were rewards shared by old and new members alike, and stood as a shining goal for future years. These constituted important reasons for the club's success and increasing popularity. Many hours were spent on effective delivery and argu- mentive problems, both in the club period and outside of school hours. This year's question, Resolved: That citizens of the United States be subject to conscription in time of warf, pro- vided the debaters with a timely and helpful question and gave them a chance to really go to town. Current magazine articles and news- papers were the sources of information for these industrious workers, and frequently proved to hold the key to many a victory. Those who wit- nessed the debaters in action became their ardent and interested followers, and followed their tournaments with keen interest. MOVING RHYTHMICALLY Charmaine Bickel ,.,............. President Jim Taylor ,... Vice-President-Secretary A haven for music lovers and would-be con- ductors Was found in this yearis Music Club. In order to join this talented group of musicians, one had to be a member of the orchestra, band, or one of the several choruses. The main purpose of this group Was the study of band or orchestra conducting. Several members took over the leadership, for a brief period, of one of the musi- cal organizations Within the school. Others form- ed their own band in which they practiced har- monizing, snappy rhythm and the art of conduct- ing. Another project on the Music Clubis agenda for the year was the mastering of the rhythmic Martha Mackie ...... ....,.. T reasurer Mr. Armat Duhart ...,.,...,...... Advisor and harmonic dictation. Whenever the members were practicing this skill, you could have seen Mr. Duhart, the clubis capable advisor, seated at the piano slowly playing a selection. Around him Were his 'isecretariesv writing down the notes as they were played. After much practice, the umusical stenographersi' were able to record a majority of the notes correctly even though they were played at a proper tempo. During the year the clubis treasury provided tickets for an orchestra concert where the mem- bers were able to observe and better appreciate the art of synchronizing and coloring symphonic works.

It was the Hand Craft Club, which proved to be a paradise for those students whose talent lay in working with their hands. The opportunity to achieve skill in leather tooling, intricate metal work, and delicate gem setting were a few of the constructive activities offered by this club. Mr. H.

They were the finished product of an hour,s hard work. The Make-up Club practiced diligently under the direction of Mrs. Shea and Miss Flora. This group was divided into two sections. This division enabled the students to learn more about the correct principles of applying make-up. They were trained in knowing the exact coloring that each character must have for any of the many dramatic roles needed for a production. The members strove for the skill which would Peggy Bullers ...... Secretary-Treasurer Mrs. J. Shea, Miss I. Flora... Advisors make each of their characters life like. The club periods allowed them plenty of time to practice many different characters. The active make-up club performed a bene- ficial service to the school by making up the par- ticipants in the Mardi Gras, Junior and Senior class plays, and other programs presented in Senior High. The members benefited from their artistic efforts with grease paint and powder. Besides studying the theater make-up, the mem- bers also discussed their everyday personal prob- lems and ways they could improve their own appearance. CREA E PAINT MIRACLE MAKE UP CLUB ROW I-P.

The joint concerts held by the combined orchestras of the Olean-Bradford High Schools met with great applause in both cities. lt is hard to believe that these same students who in grade school, tortured even devoted parents with the squeaking of their shiny new instruments, could become so skilled in so few years.

The band loyally attended every home football game. They snapped into numerous formations at half-time, which gave Active the year round, this organization began rehearsals in August. They opened and closed many assemblies with peppy marches, They furnished the music for class night which is a traditonal service. The highlight of the year was the VVarren- Bradford High School Band Concert. The bands of both schools compared notes and gave joint concerts in Warren and Bradford. On Halloween, each band member dressed in an original costume and supplied the background music for Bradford's annual parade. In order to raise money to pay for the various expenses, the band held a successful public concertg the program was of all- state accomplishment. Each year several fortunate musicians are given signal honor of attending District and All-State . . . fgstivals, The efforts of the Exchange Club, Mr. C. Bell, and Mr. B. Schoch, who worked so earnestly to obtain new uniforms for our band, were deeply appreciated by the school. Next football sea- son the members will dazzle the spectators in their flashy tailored outfits, passing in review. BAND Left to to right, Row 1 -fClarinotsl-C.

Thirty-three deter- mined members of the Barker staff tried to organ- ize in one club period the accomplishments of the Week. The numberless details essential to the production of a yearbook actually was a job that required daily and constant attention. This yearis staff labored with diligence to equal the record set by the l95l Barker. This unusually successful annual was included in the All-Americani' rating earned by only ten schools of the same student population, and awarded by the National Scholastic Press Association. It also Won 'KMedalistv honors awarded by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and first- place rating from Pennsylvania Scholastic Press Association. During the months from April to April, the staff and their advisor, Miss L, Allen, kept the organization moving in high gear. There were constant appointments With photographers and relentless deadlines with engravers and printers to meet. For efHciency,s sake members were assigned to the editorial, business, activities and clerical staffs. When Barker Day arrives in May, We trust the entire student body will enthusiastically re- ceive the 1952 Barker. We have endeavored to vividly portray in this beautifully bound book our Wealth of inheritance. sh rw I Palazetti, B. Atkinson, P. Sturm, S. jones, R. Hughcy, B Avcry, C. Morris. ROW III-A. Grove, N.

They kept the community aware of B. H. S. pro- jects and progress, which promoted interest in school affairs. Late in September, the staff journeyed to the Kane conference for high school journalists. The plan to bring together young journalists originated at B. H. S. in September 1950, in our library with representatives from six surround- ing high schools. Once a year, the St. Bonaventure University is host to writers from the staffs of area high schools, newspapers. Representatives from schools in New York State and Pennsylvania sub- mit their papers for constructive criticism. They make awards for superior and excellent copy in various phases of writing. The Courant has received its share of honors. SEATED-The Courant editors, Marilyn Murphy, Miss Marianne Prestera, advisor, Don Shoemaker, QSTANDINCJ-Norman Reninger, Kay Johnson, Nancy Zizka, and Jerry Carnes met the challenge every other week. They read galley proofs with scrutinizing accuracy. The journalism class was composed of seven seniors and fifteen juniors with four students responsible as page editors. 87 , --- M MW I + MLOGGINU' THE ROUTE .. .. xii?

They ably carried on a tradition started in 1907 when the Courant originated as a small monthly magazine. This yearis Courant was designed so that anyone from fashion-minded girls to sports- conscious boys could End articles of interest. It consisted of four news-packed pages. Page one contained feature write-ups on diffrent school projects and happenings of front page importance to the student body. The second page was the editorial page and regularly printed the boy's 86 shop adventures, poems, club interviews and quotations, Those who preferred to read con- tinued stories, jokes, personal interviews and fashion notes found interesting reading on page three. Page four carried a vivid resume of the yearis football and basketball games, hunting news, boys and girls gym highlights, and the sports club news.

Kelly, C. Cashdollar, S. Heifner. Row II-T. Butler, D. Merritt, I. Van Houtte, M. S. Chatley. The Student Council is a group of carefully se- lected representatives whose primary purpose is to incite and instigate interest and cooperation among the students in student activties. Each representative en- tered wholeheartedly into his individual committee duties. The committees, accomplishments showed the enthusiasm of the members. The Scholastic Committee checked the grades of the major office holders determining whether their grades were satisfactory, if not, they were replaced. The Welfare Committee took charge of the collections for the deserving community campaigns. The Social Committee diligently planned football dances, parties and the highlight of the year, the colorful Mardi Gras. The Awards Committee checked records of deserving students. In a special assembly at the end of the year, these students were presented with appropriate awards. The Assembly Committee prepared weekly programs which met the approval of the student body. During auditorium programs, 'the Ushering Committee was always on hand to seat the audience. The Cafe- teria Committee improved conditions of our cafeteria, making it a pleasant place. Tahulating votes in all school elections, was the meticulous job of the Election Committee. This year, three members of the Student Council attended a convention at Kittanning, Pennsylvania. They exchanged ideas on how to efliciently run the student body of a school. The council successfully completed two major projects, the rewriting of the constitution, and revising of the handbook. 85 YW DOI G THE DRIVINGi--l- WORKING ON A BIG IDEA . . .

TOM RICH President JANET KELLOCC Vice-President WINTHROP YINGER Secretary PATRICIA ELLIS Treasurer There is nothing more traditional than graduation with all its dignity and splendorg nothing more thrilling for seniors than the down the aisle processional in caps and gowns, each one reviewing cherished memories of three unforgetable years: the happy times that were spent in preparation for the festive Mardi Gras, the customary Junior Prom for which they turned out with a fresh glitter that changed the date in June into a magniiicient night. Their itinerary led them to their own Broadway, with opening night confusion and footlight jitters. When the curtain lifted on Good Housekeepingi' and the Gramercy Ghost the audiences were touched by the fine character interpretations of these amateur thespians. Not once did they detour, nor did they reach a dead endg but throughout the three years, their highway was constantly marked by the sign, Students Hard At Work. These tour- ists, full of loyalty and sportsmanship, drove on to bring Brad- ford High to never-to-be-forgotten fame. Achievement in scholastic ability is now to be rewarded with the traditional symbol of attainment-a diploma-a li- cense to drive onto the highway of life with a map charted by each individual, Each has marked his own route for himself. And so the strains of Pomp and Circumstancev lead the last footsteps to the forks in the road. Via the pages of the Barker, they may return many times and relive this happy journey.

On their capable shoulders rested the task of handling all correspondence, mimeographing and book- keeping for the school. En- ergetic clicking of type- writer keys and the rythmic shuflie of the mimeograph machine punctuated their year-long task. Not many students suffered from aches and pains, thanks to this top-notch health staff. They were school physician, Dr. O. S. Carlson, dental hygienist, Miss Jeannette Holden, school nurses, Miss Mary Rossi and Miss Caro- lyn Reitzg Dr. E. A. Hoenig, school dentist, and Mrs. Ada Bement, secretary. Spic and span corridors and neat - as - a - pin classrooms were the result of the hard work of the custodians. Thanks for a comfortable, neat school to Miss Gertrude Bellamy, Mrs. Hazel Her- man, Harry MacDonald, Mike Thomas, and Ralph Gilson. Stimulating reading aided Ann Henretta and Dave Fronapel in their social growth. They were striving to attain a more ma- ture attitude with parents, friends and teachers. c'That's what you call a numb skull, said Mr. Lewis. Mary Lou Abbott, Janet Anderson, Zella Arnett, and Paul Carlson en- joyed learning about the structure of the human body in health wh.w,w1Lw2Jm,a,1:o 11f,kzklA, and all students at B.H.S want to be kids in spirit all their lives. At least they want to remain young to enjoy recreation with their friends. Physical education is one of the most popu- lar courses offered at B.H.S. Here they have a chance to work off a little of their youthful en- thusiasm in supervised recreation in the gym. The girls, teacher is Miss Keefer, the boys, Mr. Paige. In their sophomore year, students spend a half-year studying the human body, its func- tions and habits to keep it performing at top efficiency. They practice the principles learned in this class in the gymnasium the other half of the year. The Health Education teacher is Mr. Lewis. Seniors consider themselves mature enough to analyze their own personalities, Their atti- tude toward their families and friends are diag- nosed and they strive for a more adult view- point on life. Mrs. Wilson is their instructor. Frederick F. Paige, B.S., B.P.E. Annette Keefer, B.S. Robert F. Lewis, B.S., M.S.

Students will be thankful later for those hours of speed tests and laborious practice. Re- member those rules that Miss Flora, Mrs. Shea, Miss Raver, and Mr. Metzler gave you, kids, and youill go places at your jobs. There are other machines in offices nowadays and Miss O,Meara teaches her classes the principles of many of the most modern machines. To be proficient on such a variety of equipment takes a great deal of patience and practice. Amid a whirl of brief forms and rapid dictation, shorthand students learn by hard work one of the most difficult of clerical skills. They may never marry the boss, son, but they will rise in the business world through their own efforts.

No slates in evidence here! Typewriters, billing and listing ma- chines, ediphones, and all the other busi- ness appliances that no office or store is Without, have taken their place. Aside from mechanical dexterity, com- mercial students are taught other invalua- ble skills, such as bookkeeping which will help them secure even a better position in the business World.

They then start a course in Problems of Democracy which describes many of the dangers that threaten the American Way of life. Their instructor is Miss Titus. Seniors pick up American history at the Civil War era and continue it to the time of the United Nations. They also resume the Problems of Democracy course. Miss Currie and Mrs. Fahnstrom are their lead- ers. Vocational students learn history from Mr. Pockey.

Mathematics and science in high school are serious business. Students 'tak- ing any of the courses offered in the science department of B.H.S. are certain of a firm foundation in scientific principles. The first of these courses is Biology. Here students learn about the life processes of plants and animals. Among the first signs of spring in the halls of Bradford High are the pale faces of biology students who have just dissected their first frog under the direction of Miss Allen. Chemistry students may be distin- guished by their professional manner and black aprons as they perform experiments to determine the composition of certain compounds. Mr. Kusner supervises the activities of the chemistry lab. Mr. Cummings teaches physics, solid geometry, trigonometry and oil laboratory. The monumental task awaiting the college preparatory seniors is the writing of their term papers. They are prepared for it by instruction in note taking and composition. Seniors in other courses are kept busy by the reading of A Tale of Two Cities and Hamlet. Miss Mottey, Mr. Simon and Mr. Olson teach English IV to the graduating class. An important division of the language department is the foreign lan- guages. French I and II are taught by Miss Harper, Spanish I and II by Miss Smith, and Latin II and III by Miss Prestera and Miss Smith. The curriculum also offers journalism and public speaking to students who wish to devote an extra period every day to developing their proficiency in speaking and writing the English language. Aspiring orators learn effective methods of delivering a speech under Mr. Olson's instruction. Iournalism classes learn the innumerable details that must be mastered before the publi- cation of a newspaper. Their instructor is Miss Prestera. 1 r ..', ,. - Elzear Schoch A B., M.Litt. Sidney B.

His sense of humor and 'smiling face are a contradiction to all those whip insist that a chief administrator be frozen-f an - ' eatured grim visaged. The principal of Bradford Senior High has kept it a scholastic institution of high standing, and advanced its hallowed traditions, and has added a bit of vigor and vitality-so much a part of himself. Tradition-making Mr. Bell has earned himself a place in B. Hs S.'s hall of fame. Another candidate for that distinguished honor is Mr. Getz. This gentleman has dealt with the idiosyn- crasies of B. H. S. students long enough to harden and embitter the most patient of men. He could probably write a book on excuses mo-st used by students Yet he has remained an understanding and kind. disci- plinarian.

' ' - Qs: Another history-maker is Miss Stella Sprague, Di- rector of Secondary Education. Perseverance and tact are equally combined in her personality. Her job is to coordinate educational policies with classroom technique. An intimate knowledge of the school system combined with a natural grciousness make her ideally suited for this position. She has widely traveled in Europe and South America. On her toes, nationally as well as locally, in the educational field, Miss Sprague's capabilities have been recognized by membership in honorary educational societies. As a l ' resu t, many improvements in the local system have been effected New te t b k . x oo s and test systems have been instituted. The advancements Miss Sprague has nurtured, while holding her position, have erected a permanent milestone to her faith in a student d emocracy piloted by well trained teachers. FLOYD C.

Their excellent work is shown by the high attainment of the students and faculty of the Brad- ford' School System. A familiar and beloved figure to the students in Bradford is Mr. Floyd C.

Brad- ford's scholastic athletic system is no mystery to him ' h for he is chairman of District Nine-Pennsylvania ll known in com- e1t er Interscholastic Association. He is as we ' ' hool groups. He is the spokesman, munity circles as 1n sc as it were, of the educational policy. For fifteen years the Bradford schools have flourished under his guidance. Tradition in Bradford Senior High School has a meaning all its own. It is the seed planted and culti- vated by citizens such as these so that its fruits may be enjoyed by the generations of students to follow. It changes with growth, for it is a school that builds for the future through the guidance of its leaders. 9 MR. J. B. MITCHELL President 'grlwni MR F E ECKERT V106 Presldent MR. S. H.

JANE BUCKWALTER 8 X - ii- xJCE XNCXVAX, SW C U RS 0 RWAY Traditions are the common heritage of every high school student in America. Memories of school life are colored by the traditional. Every person who has ever attended a prom, trod the boards in a class play, or par- ticipated in an old athletic rivalry knows what a vivid picture remains in his mind. Tradition can be valuable in two ways. A class that dheres to the time-honored customs, later identifies itself a with the generations of such classes and feels itself an integral part of the schoolis history. But the class that breaks a tradition, or bends it a little, to better its func- tioning, has real reason to be proud. Theirs is the pride of the creative artist, who knows that his creation will color the history of an institution. The graduating class of 1952 has felt both of these i f t- emotions, the security of following other classes oo prints and the thrill of establishing a precedent. The ' ' h' e s, using an 1951 Mardi Gras Circus was a smas 1ng succ s ld theme with modern variations. Business Education 0 Day was an innovation that surpassed all expectations in promoting public relations. The Barker Staff has compared tradition to a high- way, a highway still under construction, the final length and breadth of which, will be limited only by the imagi- tion of enerations of students to come. It begins in na g ' ' h ft ' the ath of tradi- the past and continues into t e u ure, p tion and originality. J Introduction ....,.. Foreword . .....
