Second Row-Ann Rees, Mary Real, Dona Hartwig, Joan Hickey, Mr. Hanson-ad- viser, Carol Rinkenberger, Angela Tumbleson, Bernard McKlaen, Bill Kelly, Bob Kidd, Jack Carroll. Since the Student Council plans and sponsors all of the extra-curricular ac- tivities of the year, it must be represented by every division of the student body. The council consists of fourteen members, each class, club, and school bus being rep- resented. The members of the Student Council this year were composed of Presi- dent, Angela Tumbleson: Vice-President, Dana Mannon fsenior classl, Secretary, Sally Hotchkiss, Band Rep., Bob Kidd: Chorus, Delores Mitchell, Home Ec. club, Dona Hartwig, F. F. A., Bob Doll, Thes- pian club, Rosella Harney, Freshman class, Bernie McKean, Sophomore class, Joanne Hickey, Junior class, Jack Car- roll, West Bus, Carol Rinkenberger, East Bus, Mary Real, South Bus, Bill Kelly. It is the Student Council's aim to smooth out all difficulties that may arise by promoting a better understanding and higher ideals among the student body. The largest project of the Student Council comes in the printing of the 8.11- nual. Through the publishing of this book the life and activities of the student body is shown. The homecoming put on this year by the Student Council was a great success, and the money that was made was used to purchase various things throughout the year. This year the Student Council dis- tributed complimentary activity tickets to all eighth grade students in and around Bradford. The District Student Council Conven- tion will be held in Peoria this year and it is our hope that our Council will be rep- resented. During the basketball season the Stu- dent Council sponsored a dance after sev- eral of the conference games. An event that has been popular with .most of the students is the dancing class, which has been conducted on convenient school hours and after school when the buses stay in for conference games. Miss Mc- Elwain and Mrs. Traugh are in charge of this. This year the Student Council has re- vised and introduced several new pre- ambles to the constitution which were read and approved by the student body.

OUR LIBRARY Left to Right-Dona Hartwig, Elaine Dennison, Earl Hawkins, Angela Tumbleson, Miss Vanzant-adviser, Charlotte Phelps, Barbara Graham, Dana Mannon, Doro- thy Ann Rees. It has been said that a good book is man's best friend. The students of Brad- ford High School have an excellent oppor- tunity to prove how true this statement is by using the facilities of the library. Over five thousands books, as well as numerous current magazines, are at the disposal of the students. In the course of a day, you can find information on such diversified subjects as the details of a menu for a typical Roman banquet or the newest information on aeronautics. In order to enable the students to use the library more easily, it has been ar- ranged according to the Dewey decimal system. This is the same as that which is used in the larger school and public li- braries. The card files and lists of books remain in the library so that no one is unable to locate any of the many books that are in the library. Miss Vanzant is the chief librarian and has been responsible for the work of ar- ranging the library as well as the usual duties of keeping the books in order and collecting the necessary fine of a cent-a- day for overdue books. -She is assisted by seven student librarians. Every year many of the current best sellers and numerous reference books on many subjects are added to the library. Outstanding among the newer books this year are The Robe, My Friend Flicka, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, Forty-Two Years in the White House, and many of the latest books dealing with the war such as Seven Came Through and Ernie Py1e's Here Is Your War. Another important part of the library is the many sets of books that are kept and used for class work. By using these many types of books. no student of Bradford High School has any excuse for not having read the world's best literature for it is all at his disposal in the schoo1's excellent library.
