THE BHIUJLEYEPCN THE BRPVDLEYEFCN SCHOOL HISTORY On November 3, 1919, appropriate dedication exercises marked the formal opening of the Joe Bradley School. Within the last two years the enrollment has advanced from 200 to 500, an increase of I 50 per cent. The faculty has grown correspondingly, representing an increase of 250 per cent. Mr. Cecil V. Fain, who has been principal of this institution during its re- markable growth, says the general impression was that this handsome structure would easily serve Merrimack for a period of five years, yet only a short time elapsed before additional space was required. Beginning with the elementary grades a modern junior high school has been added to provide opportunity for higher education. Situated in a model industrial community, with equipment and facilities second to none, the Joe Bradley School has made such progress that it is known throughout the state and nation. The Merrimack Manufacturing Company not only built and equipped this magnificient structure, but also furnishes the capital for carrying on all the activities except the payment of the grade teachers. The history of the Joe Bradley School will ever stand as a part of the nation’s educational achievement that will help to preserve and enrich a Great and Good America.

fflrrrimark Tune: •'Till We Meet Again Merrimack, my merry Merrimack; Dear old glorious, merry Merrimack; As the sunshine cheers the flow’rs. Thus you brighten all our hours. Of all the schools beneath the sun. This, the best, the grandest one. All our tasks are turned to fun; Dear old Merrimack. clj lUlls Tune: “Smiles” There are schools thruout the nation; There are schools across the sea; There are schools for every rank and station; There are schools for you and schools for me; There are schools that drive away the sadness; Th ere are schools where song and mirth are free. But the school that fills my heart with gladness Is the school that’s called Joe Bradley.
