Bristol ...l - School and Building Brist.ol Township has long been a leader in progressive education. The first building was large enough to accommodate a special school district. In 1915 the township was cen- tralized . A nine room building was erected to care for the children. In 1926 the enrollment increased beyond the capacity of the building. A bond issue was voted, and a modern gymnasium and auditorium, a large assembly hall, and five other rooms were added. The present enrollment is 305. Not all the rooms are occupied. The curriculum has been expanded to include chemistry, vocal and instrumental music, and a complete com- mercial course. Bristol has a modern school in every respect. It is one of which the Bristol folks arc justly proud. BOARD OE EDUCATION Lejgbogiighll Edward Messick, ltlrs. Gladys VVilliams, V. Pres. J. S. Van Dervort., Pres., W. S.

Playing a fighting game always, the Bloomfield boys have well matched their quick- ness against the generally greater size of opponents. With these qualities has been the neces- sary team-spirit-all for each, each for all. Though the score card. may rate some above the rest, the points really were made not by individuals but by the whole team. Probably the best game thus far was played with the undefeated Oewell team on their floor. The splendid fighting spirit of five scarlet flashes maintained the lead through three quarters of the game, and Bloomfield was but narrowly beaten by the Ashtabula County leaders. Other outstanding games were those with Greene and Mecca. Captain Maynard Berry has played a consistent game at right forward. His speed and shooting ability have been a very noticeable part of the team's play. Berry is high scorer. J ack Gale at the other forward has played a splendidly aggressive game. Passing well and shooting accurately. J ack has been a quite necessary part of the team. John Smida, center-a tower of strength on the defense and always there on the offense, he has given largely to the determined, fighting spirit of the team. Lynn Young has gua.rder well, with lots of scrap. His dribbling and shooting have contributed much to the team's offense. An even greater factor was his speed. Oscar Peterson, guard, has developed rapidly and has dependably helped his mates to break the opponent's offense. Os has two more seasons to play for Bloomfield. Other squad members deserving mention are Hoffman, Ed. Smida, Fagan, Thompson and Fenton.
