John Ilaun Eriksen, the tall handsome lad who has spent the past year studying with us and joining in our fun, is an exchange student from Denmark. His easy- going, friendly manner ' has won him many friends at North, and we, the Senior Class of 1954, are proud to have him as a member of our class. john was born on November 30, 1936 in the small town of Nykoebing Falster, about 65 miles from Copen- hagen, the largest city in Denmark. He entered grammar school at the age of six. After tive years of grammar school, he began eight years of high school. In the European school system, the hi h school is more similar to our college preparatory'scIiools. john has two more years of high school where he is majoring in languages. Besides his native tongue, Danish, he also has five other languages at his command - English Cas we all knowl, Swedish, German, French, and Latin. After high school fraduation, he is looking forward to seven years of college to study law.' However, john is more than a scholar, he is a sports enthusiast, too. Badminton, soccer, track, and European handball are his favorites. Although we must say goodbye to you now, John, the Class of l954 and the rest of the students and the faculty of North Iligh School will not forget you. We have profited greatly from the experience of talking with you, listening to you, and studying with you. We hope that you, too, have learned something of the American way of living that you will want to take home to Den- mark and share with your family, friends, and classmates. MRS. BRADLEY Mrs. Bradley came to Syracuse as Miss Schroeppel in 1927 and has been teaching at North ever since. She was born in South Dakota and went to Coe College, Iowa where she received a Bachelor of Science Degree. Six of her teaching years were spent in India where she taught English along with other subjects. The tropical' climate agreed with her and made her stay very enjoyable. When she returned to the United States, she taught high school. Also in her teaching profession Mrs. Bradley taught kindergarten, grade school, teachers train- ing, and church training. From there she joined the N.H.S. crew. That's how her hair turned grey. For about twelve years Mrs. Bradley was in charge of the Tri-Y and now Pi Omicron. Although presently she docsn't have any special hobby, she enjoys spending time in church clubs and organizations where she is an active member. While I interviewed Mrs. Bradley, she told me she had some of my relatives in her classes. It will always puzzle nie how a teacher could remember so many of her pupils. After all the years spent educating the future leaders of America, Mrs. Bradley says, I will spend my retirement keep- ing house and I jolly well like tof' The faculty and students at North could never make known to you, Mrs. Bradley, how much we will miss you. We wish you a happy and peaceful retirement. A n n Bamberger, who is affectionately called Tiny by her friends is a quiet girl.
