preceded diAmiAAal time Big orange busses rolled into the parking lot and an on- rush of students loaded them in record time. Don Bright, carrying his violin, watched the photographer. St. Bernard and Bradford Senior High School students ex- changed light talk as they left the auditorium. The assembly proved to be one of immediate worth for essay writers. When every Friday rolled around, our popular assembly committee, under the guidance of Miss Mutter, had prepared some sort of entertainment in the auditorium. Our Sharps and Flats seemed to be the favorites. Their version of Ten Gard amused every listener. An assembly on safe driving presented Pro- fessor Amos Neyhart who addressed the audience in such an understanding and humorous way that every individual in the audience responded with alert attention. Four people were greatly honored upon their selection as winners in the United Nations Essay Contest sponsored by the Rotary Club of Bradford. William Morrow and Patience Griltin won a trip to the United Nations headquarters in New York City to observe representatives in action. William Os- borne and Jack Shea walked off with cash awards at the exciting assembly. Modern Living classes chose to act out a short skit highlighting the problems of an outsider in a high school group. The actors ran through the play twice, the second time showing how to avoid of- fending the outsider. Following the skit a panel discussion summed up valuable points. The Christmas Pageant and the Thanksgiving Assembly observed those holidays beautifully and reverently. Acting secretaries of the United Na- tions displayed Christmas customs in foreign lands. At Thanksgiving baskets of food were prepared for needy area residents and were displayed on stage during the assembly. Prior to dismissal, the afternoon announce- ments were given. Popular items on the public ad- dress system were the lost and found, social events, and the telephone messages in the office. At 3:15 many a student hurried home while others patiently awaited busses. It was truly the end of an exciting day. Ju xii' - F T P A g L195dl. QF .esA,4s,- N-45.4-f,Q..,-,,. 13

with time who cared In the Bradford Senior High School library, teachers and parents seriously talked over students' problems. All seemed very much interested in their subjects. ln the front hall Student Council members registered vis- itors upon arrival in the school. A vast wealth of coopera- tion and understanding warranted the get-together. Parents received many opportunities to visual- ize classroom activities and discuss Tommy or Mary with teachers. Open house night, school opened at 3:15 o'clock in the afternoon. Parents accompanied their sons and daughters to classes which ran until 8:30 o'clock with the activity period omitted. Language and other classes, equipped with numerous school facilities enabling instructors to teach in a better and more understanding man- ner, caused parents to marvel. Student Council members acted as guides, directing lost visitors to the proper rooms. Junior-Senior Parents' Night acquainted par- ents with teachers and pointed out the fundamen- tals of the B.H.S. curricula. Refreshments were served, and the evening had desirable results. A large group of parents and instructors convened in the library, and various phases of high school life were discussed. A special night was reserved for the parents of sophomores. Each night contributed to keener understanding of students, who to be sure did not attend school those two evenings. Yes, B.H.S. continuously welcomed parents. Their important role made them a part of discus- sion groups in ironing little problems and differ- ences regarding various functions and standards in B.H.S. With their cooperation and that of other residents, Bradford really produced a fine school with the equipment to train capably the citizens of tomorrow. May B.H.S. never be forgotten for its many achievements in education. The improve- ments of school instruction and the care for B.H.S.'s physical appearance interested them wholeheart- edly. A look at the school today would be enough to prove it was the unceasing concern of parents, friends, and faculty. 1: elxs lellullf .ll . Q -r xl K F' 5 xii
