th English was enioyed by everyone The man who can write, who can speak to people in a language they understand, and who can catch their ear with a voice of authority and per- suasion possesses an influence that is greater than that of emperors and armies and navies. In an age when the word-spoken and written-is increasingly useful to all classes of men, the art of using it has become a measure of a man's worth. Language instruction at Sen- ior High aims to sharpen the student's powers of communication. If the glory ofthe human animal man is his ability to communicate, then the glory of the educated man is his ability to communicate well. To attain this the student practices the reading, the writ- ing and the speaking of our American English - incomparably beautiful when used by one who understands, loves and respects it. Included also in the curriculum are the precise French, the soft-sounding Spanish and the minutely-planned Latin.

Bradford High School has been a lead- er in the driver training movement since 1936, being the third high school in the United States and the first in Pennsylvania to promote such a course. Now, under the direction of Mr. Giddings, students are in- structed not only in the practice but also the theory of driving. Under the capable leadership of our li- brarian, Miss Hamilton, and her willing helpers, the BHS library was kept in excel- lent condition. Files of pamphlets, career materials and college catalogs, as well as an assortment of nearly seventy magazines, six newspapers and approximately seven thousand books were at the students' dis- posal throughout the school year.
