No these were not names of Bradley High School students. They were the names of several little creatures that resided in the homes of student and teachers. They were everyone’s beloved pets. The favorite pet at Bradley as elsewhere was the canine, and among our coaches the labrador retrievor seemed to be favored. Several coaches, Joe Adams, Turner Jackson, Charlie Smith, and Dale Woodard, possessed these amiable dogs. Perhaps the next favorite pet was the cat. Some wondered why the feline wasn’t America’s number one pet. They were clean, furry, and friendly. Teachers who preferred these furry creatures were David Clonts, Mitzi Hill, Ted Gee, Carol Lackey, Shirley Mclntire, Gwen Srite, Bob Snider, Gloria Smiddy, and Lyman Wood. Believe it or not, some people actually favored rodent-like animals for personal pets. Hamsters and guinea pigs were the most common. Two students who adored hamsters were Tarry Huskins and Melissa Davis as evidenced by their own “furry rats.” Among the unusual pets discovered as part of Bradley homes was Jody Musselwhite’s little furry bundle of energy. Con- stantly scurrying about, sweeping its busy tail, was Jody’s pet squir- rel. Other different pets owned and loved by Bradley students were a bull, a parakeet, a hog, a cockatoo, a minature crocadile, and a “rock.” Regardless of the type, a true pet was a friend and companion that often was treated like one of the family, receiving tender loving care. Oh, for the life of a pet to only eat, sleep, play, and be loved! 1 ♦ f+F 22 — Bradley Life Pets 1

Close enough. Pam Parks hands her racket and tennis talent to Melvin Swafford. Obviously bored with just another Gucci purse; Cari McGlanery tosses her favorite bag aside to an obviously excited Stephanie Mealer.
