Dedication
To our principal, Mr. George A. Bell, we affec-
tionately dedicate the 1947 BARKER. Since his ap-
pointment two years ago, he has worked unceasing-
ly for the interests of the school. He insists on
strict discipline, yet he has a wonderful sense of
humor. His duties are performed quietly and effi-
ciently. He has proven himself a true friend and
adviser and justly won the respect and admiration
of the faculty and the student body. We hope that
he will remain our school's principal for many years,
in order that he may serve as a source of guidance
and inspiration to many future classes.
GEORGE A. BELL
Principal
t/mpneeiaticn
UJ E, the class of '47, express our gratitude to our class
advisers, Miss Harriet Hubert and Mr. Charles Cal-
lahan, for their untiring assistance in all of our class
activities. Miss Hubert has proved a capable business
manager, and with Mr. Callahan as director our class
plays have been eminently successful. Throughout the
past three years they have aided us unfailingly in every
undertaking.
Now, as we prepare to leave Bradford High, we
do so with full appreciation of the two who have
helped the class step by step to its final glory.

MISS HARRIET HUBERT
MR. CHARLES CALLAHAN
On. Oun Way.
flHE Boy and Girl whom you see throughout this book
are friends of yours. Their names are whatever names
you choose to give them, for they represent all the
students of BHS.
You may think of the young lady as a certain
someone whom you greet in the corridor every day,
or possibly as that peppy cheerleader or majorette
who always catches your eye.
The school-spirited lad with the bold "B" on his
besweatered chest may become in your eyes a cer-
tain mathematical or Spanish wizard. And then again,
he may be the high hurdler of the track team or just
the fellow with the friendly grin who is always tripping
over the benches in the grandstand.
But whatever school friends our Boy and Girl may
recall to your mind, remember that they typify the
whole student body. They are the representative
couple, and the guiding spirits of THE BARKER, 1947.

OF
SCHOOLS
Every one of us casts a shadow; not with his body alone but with his spirit as well. That shadow may be a grief
or it may be a glory.
Where the shadow of the lives of great men and good touch the lives of others we see growth and development
both physically and spirirually. We see progress, in little ways and in big ways. We see tolerance, brotherhood, char-
ity, love and forbearance. Life takes on real meaning and a conviction of the dignity of human beings grows up within
us. We can, all of us, name persons whose influence or whose shadows have touched and changed our lives. You, too,
are doing the same thing for others and in a continuously increasing measure will do so all your lives.
Unfortunately the shadows of another group of people fall across the world today, blighting and withering all who
come within their boundaries. Hatreds, intolerance, ignorance, greed, prejudices and evil acts, as exemplified in the
lives of men, also cast their shadows and unfortunate indeed is he who walks therein—let us but look at Germany today.
Young men and women, you too are casting a shadow—shorter now, it is true, than it will be at the evening
of your life. What kind of a shadow will you cast—one that will bring grief or one that will bring glory? Your shadow
can only reflect the kind of a person you are but its influence will go on forever blighting or glorifying all the lives it
touches. Now, as never before, we need men whose shadows will inspire, lead, and glorify the youth of our land. In
the words of Josiah Holland, "God give us men. A time like this demands strong minds, great hearts, true faith and
ready hands. Men whom the lust of office does not kill. Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy. Men who possess
opinions and a will, Men who love honor, Men who cannot lie."

MISS SPRAGUE
Stella H. Sprague, as Director of Secondary Edu-
cation, holds a position in our school system which
is of immeasurable importance to all of us. To the
faculty Miss Sprague brings advice concerning cur-
ricula, textbooks, and methods of instruction. To the
students she brings the advantage of studying in
schools whose courses are under the scientific in-
spection of an expert supervisor. Miss Sprague is
largely responsible for the continuing and increas-
ing excellence of Bradford's high schools.
MR. GETZ
Raymond B. Getz, Assistant Principal, has been in
the educational profession for more than twenty
years. His experience fits him well for the varied
tasks which he is called upon to perform at Bradford
Senior High School. As school treasurer he has
charge of the multitudinous financial details which
must arise in a school of many activities and depart-
ments. Also our attendance officer, Mr. Getz
has demonstrated his extreme sense of fairness in
his daily dealings with the students.

I HIS year's Senior Class, like the dozens of Bradford Senior Classes
which have preceded it, awaits with amazement its ever-nearing
graduation. To us it seems only a few dances, or a few games ago
that we entered BHS so timidly and suspiciously, eyeing warily every
imperious senior and jealous of the imaginative and versatile juniors
who with the seniors dominated the school.
Now as we look back, we realize that we hadn't very much time
in which to be jealous. As if overnight, we found ourselves juniors.
We had attained the age of enterprise and importance. Bradford
High's great middle-class was on the move (remember "You Can't
Take It With You," our great comedy presentation, and later the
brilliant Junior-Senior Prom?) Now we were "somebodies" and well
we knew it. But that great adventure, life in the senior year, was still
before us.
Autumn, '46, and there we were, the leaders of our school. Our
doings made the newspapers: seniors were the grand directors of
most of the thousand and one activities of every sort which make
up the canvas of BHS social, athletic, musical, dramatic, and scholastic
life.
Once in a while we took time to look over the underclassmen.
Those saucy sophomoresl How much more refined we were in our
own first year. But then, an active body makes for a healthy mind,
and we are confident that when the time comes for actual leadership,
precocious sophomore talent, as well as irrepressible sophomore en-
ergy, will guarantee the young ones' not failing our Alma Mater.
We are pleased to see that this year's Junior Class is truly dis-
tinguished by seriousness of purpose. Judging from their participation
in our various school activities, an important and admirable feature
of this purpose is to bring glory to the school. The Senior Class feels
assured that it is placing the destiny of BHS in capable hands.

Marilyn Wilcox, Treasurer
We, the class of '47, entered BHS three years ago with our
excitement and wonderment overcoming any timidity we may have
felt. With the capable assistance of our class advisers and our am-
bitious class officers, we have made these three years ones that
cannot be surpassed in the range and variety of accomplishments
and interests they encompassed.
Our senior year is, of course, the one which in the future our
minds will hold most vivid. Each and every one of us has worked
to the utmost of his ability to make our concluding year one of
joy in accomplishment. The memorable Mardi Gras; the class play,
Snafu; the gay dances and lively parties, concluding with the annual
Junior-Senior Prom — all these add up to a full and exciting social
calendar. Graduation, with our caps and gowns about us and with
our proud parents and friends looking on, has now come and gone.
In our hands are our newly awarded diplomas. Some of us will be
continuing our formal education. Others will begin their careers
now. But wherever we may be, we, the newest addition to Bradford
High's alumni, will always look back on our high school days as
unforgettable, the most precious time of our lives.

September 2, 1946 — another year had rolled around and once
again we entered the portals of senior high, knowing a good time
awaited us. Still recalling the days when we first entered as timid
bewildered sophomores, we started off on a successful year un-
daunted by former mistakes and feeling proud in our superior role
as upper classmen. Things were soon organized and under the
able leadership of Charles Valsing, class president, and the efficient
and untiring assistance of our class advisers, Mrs. Schoch and Mr.
Fox, we had a very successful year, contributing to all the activities
which made our days at Bradford Senior High School memorable
ones. The "Clodhopper Classic." our dance, will be an unforgettable
event in the minds of all, as will too our better than ever class play,
"Ten Little Indians." In athletics—football, basketball, track, and
cheerleading we showed our ability and considerably impressed the
seniors. New talent was prominent in our contributions to the Stu-
dent Council, THE BARKER, THE COURANT, and debating. The
social climax of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom, was a huge suc-
cess. With many worthies in its ranks and not one to shirk,
the Junior Class will certainly reach the goal of success.

The Class of 49 entered Bradford Senior Hiqh School on
September 3, 194b with great expectations of their next three years
of high school life. Three hundred eighty-seven gay and frolicsome
sophomores were eventually pacified by the upperclassmen. Some-
how they withstood the frigid glances thrown at them and turned
out to be fine sports.
A new system of class advisorship was inaugurated in the
school this year. All the sophomore home room teachers formed a
committee with Miss Stewart as chairman; this will guide the pres-
ent sophs over the problems they will have to face while in high
school. The home room groups and teachers are to remain the
same and so the members on the committee will not change.
It wasn't long before the class had its officers elected, students
well deserving the honor. Class meetings were held and the program
for the year was planned. This included the collection of dues and
preparation for a dance. The resultant sophomore hop in the late
spring proved to be one of the best social events of the year.
The "saucy" sophomores also participated in many of the
school's varied activities. The athletic members of the class gave the
juniors and seniors some stiff competition for varsity positions in
football, basketball, and track. From these fellows came several
lettermen and a large number of worthwhile subs who give BHS
hope of winning teams in the future. They supported most of the
clubs with outstanding skill and eagerness. Diverse talents were dis-
played in assembly programs, new debaters issued forth, and many
sophs made the honor roll The good sportsmanship and clamorous
voices of the sophomores were a definite part of pep meetings and
all the games.

EvER since Bob Pflug and Harold Brace came to Bradford, Brad-
ford High School has maintained a record in inter-scholastic athletics
which has made our Boy and Girl glow with pride and satisfaction.
Bradford High School yearly takes on a difficult schedule containing
many schools with larger enrollments and consistently comes through
with the teams that can beat them. This past year proved to be no
exception, with the basketball squad winning the District Championship
and only being stopped from taking the Western crown by a pow-
erful Duquesne team. The Owls on the basketball court made it a
habit to dump undefeated teams from their perfect standard as they
introduced defeat to Sharon, Jamestown, and Kane. Without a doubt
Don Frampton, Jim Fredericks, and "Slim" Johnson, were the out-
standing all-around athletes in this year's Senior Class. These boys
Elayed on both the football and basketball squads and turned in stel-
ir performances in both sports.
The students at Bradford High have something that few other
high schools enjoy—a winning combination in both football and
basketball. Bradford High School, under the leadership of our ath-
letic director, Fred Paige, has developed one of the best systems of
intramural sports in the state. If a boy is not good enough to make
the varsity or junior varsity squads, he still can participate in foot-
ball, basketball, and softball on an intramural basis. During the fall
a tap-pass football league is organized by Coach Paige, in which
daily games are played during gym periods. The best teams from each
gym period clash in post season playoffs to determine the best tap-
pass football team in the school. When the winter months roll around
the same program is carried out with daily basketball. In the spring,
Bradford High's sluggers sharpen up their batting eyes in the softball
league. Also for those interested in basketball Coach Paige organized
the Inter-class Basketball League, with games three times a week after
school. So, no matter if you're a star athlete or just a none too
skillful lover of sports, you can enjoy the benefits and pleasures of
athletics at good old BHS.

ROBERT J. PFLUG
Head Coach
On the morning of August 18, 1946, Coach Bob Pflug began
training the boys who were to become the football scoring champions
of Northwestern Pennsylvania. For two long, hot August weeks the Owl
football squad practiced twice a day. but this gruelling drudgery
was not in vain. By the first Friday of the school year the Red and
Black was credited with a 27-26 victory over the Colonels of Erie
Strong Vincent. And so it went, week after week, victory after victory
with but one interruption, until the Owls had piled up 329 points in
10 games to win the scoring championship of Northwestern Pennsyl-
vania. The only upset of the year came when the Owls were defeated
by Erie Academy on Academy’s field in a continual downpour of rain.
The capable coaching staff headed by Bob Pflug deserves much of the
credit for the fine record. Assistant Coaches Joe Smith, George Wil-
cox, and Frances Denning all turned in great jobs.
This year's season was characterized by a number of outstanding
plays, as well as the continuous brain and muscle work of the individual
stars. Some of the Highlights: Don Frampton's hundred-yard runback
of an intercepted Oil City pass . . . Big Slim Johnson's great end
play all year long ... Al Pingie's bonecrushing tackle of Len Kubiak,
the Erie Tech Ace . . . Lincoln Van Sickle's great line play in the
Jamestown game . . . Paul DiFonzo's sparkling open field running . . .
Jim Fredericks, a mountain of strength at center . . . Frampton's
cool and accurate play calling . . . These thrilling plays, plus the
whole-hearted effort of every player on the team made the 1946
Owls one of the best teams that Coach Pflug has ever produced.
Players who wore BHS uniforms for the last time in the Olean
game were Don Frampton, Slim Johnson, Jim Fredericks, Mel Marsh,
Lincoln Van Sickle, Walt Bond, Bill Black, Lige Shick, Bill Phetterplace,
Fred Larson, Dan Thomas. Dick Mays, John Cotton, and Joe Bennardi.
Don Frampton, the Owl quarterback, was rated third best in Pennsyl-
vania.

The Red and Black varsity cage squad swept to 20 victories in 23
starts during the past basketball season. The Owls' only losses were at
the hands of Farrell, Duquesne, and the Alumni. The Bradford team was
a well balanced aggressive outfit that took the measure of many strong
high school cage combinations. From early in November to the end of
March the Owls practiced long and hard to gain the form that made them
champions of Northwestern Pennsylvania. During the course of the basket-
ball season the Owls scored 876 points to their opponents 583. This
meant that the local outfit scored an average of 38.1 points per game while
the opposition usually dented the Bradford zone defense for a total of 25.3
points. The Owls were known for their strong finishes and won many ball
games in the last half and in the last quarter. Perhaps the most exciting
game the locals played was the hair-raising 32-24 victory over Sharps-
ville High when rhe Owls captured the winning margin over the Blue
Devils in the last two minutes. The Owls got much satisfaction out of drub-
bing Erie Tech 64-21 on the local floor. The Tech team had defeated Brad-
ford twice the year before and revenge was sweet.
The only other Bradford team that advanced to the semi-finals of the
P. I. A. A. tournament was the star-studded 1942 outfit. The Owls lost to
Duquesne in Pitt Stadium only after outscoring their opponents in the
second half. The Owl mentor, Harold Brace, deserves much credit for the
great combination he produced. Don Frampton, Packy Morris, Jim Broad-
head. Jim Fredericks, and Slim Johnson completed their final game for BHS
in Pitt Stadium. Tom Thamm and Pete Dana, also seniors, proved to be
capable reserves for the Bracemen throughout the season.
Last season’s Bradford Owls proved conclusively by their record
they were among the best teams that Bradford High ever produced.

12:30 P. M.
H 0W slowly creeps the clock on Tuesday afternoon! Our Boy and
Girl, to the exasperation of their respective teachers, begin to show
signs of suppressed anticipation. Interest flags in algebra or chem-
istry or those other routine affairs which clutter up the general fun of
high school. And then, at long last, comes the joyful sound of release
—the 12:30 bell. Our Lad and Lass shed their duller roles of Quiz Kids
and emerge as Real Kids, no longer bound to the grind of textbooks,
outlines, and six-weeks' tests. To the indignation of the staider ele-
ment (faculty), they race down the hall to their lockers. And what
strange objects emerge from sundry receptacles! A wig and putty
nose for the thespian who hies to Harlequin Club. A knitting bag large
enough to please Madame Defarge for the yarn-twisters of the Knit-
ting Club. All types of equipment for all types of activities are brought
forth for use during club periods.
Clubbers have few inhibitions, it appears. Should you meet a
soul on some landing, muttering and gesturing and staring straight
ahead, chances are he is really not a dementia praecox victim. He is
probably just refreshing himself for an approaching debate. Or ex-
uberant outcries in the Romance languages may give the general
hub-bub a bit of an international tone as our Caesar and Marie An-
toinette trip lightly to Latin and French Clubs, respectively.
And so it is, everybody going his way to live in a new sphere of
fun and interest for forty precious minutes, to meet with people who
share his interests and hobbies. Under the sympathetic guidance of
the faculty who, in most cases, are actual club members—not super-
visors—the clubs zoom along. They are, in truth, the nerve centers of
the school and without them school would lack life and zest. The
Mardi Gras, the BARKER and COURANT and many assemblies, in-
numerable individual enterprises not possible to foster in classroom
routine—all these are the outgrowth of our Club Activity Program.
We are proud of the Clubs at BHSI

Our Senior High School Band has just completed its most successful year. Under the efficient
direction of Rodney A. Schoch, it has secured a prominent place in the state as both a concert and
a marching band.
On February 6, the band played for an audience of two thousand at the State School Direc-
tors Convention in Harrisburg. Upon returning from the capital the band received letters of commen-
dation from educators and school directors throughout the state.
Later in February, ten band members were selected by the Pennsylvania School Music Asso-
ciation to participate in the Central District Band Festival. These musicians joined with one hundred
fifty others from forty-one different schools to form a band which performed under the direction of
Guy Fraser Harrison, conductor of the Rochester Civic Symphony Orchestra.
From our group of ten, Delores Brooder, a junior, was selected to represent Bradford at the all-
state Band Festival in March. Toward the close of school, our band joined with that of Warren High
School for our annual combined concert.
All of these events, besides playing at our football games and at the Peabody basketball game,
have provided our band with a full and arduous schedule.
Oncke^tna
As in past years, the Bradford Senior High School Orchestra, under the competent direction
of Armat Duhart, has this year provided interesting and entertaining music for assemblies and
special concerts.
Bradford was the host to District Orchestra, which was conducted by Guy Fraser Harrison.
Thirteen up and coming musicians represented Bradford at this meeting of musicians chosen from the
various schools for their playing ability.
Those who play string instruments meet with the instructor every afternoon during the sixth
period. The full orchestra meets every Tuesday and Thursday.
The orchestra plays an important role in our school activities, and is valuable not only for the
cultural entertainment which its presentations provide, but also for the educational value it holds for
the participants.
Chart
Sophomore
Chorus
The Senior Chorus this year numbered 70 voices. The entire chorus provided the music for all school assemblies
with special programs for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. They sang by invitation at the Baptist, Presbyterian, and
Episcopal churches, and gave two concerts at Junior High School. The Spring Choral Festival on May 9 was enthusi-
astically received by a large audience. The Madrigal Singers, a group of 15 selected voices, sang for Current Events Club,
College Club, Children's Home. Moose Club, and radio.
The Sophomore Chorus of 60 girls presented an Elizabethan play with music called "Lad of Stratford."
Thirteen senior students represented the school at the District Choral Festival at Bellefonte, and two students,
Douglas Porter and Georgene Strait, were chosen for All-State Chorus at Slate College.

0 NCE again, this year has shown brilliantly that activities at Brad-
ford High are not limited to studies. No, indeed, for ours is a school
which provides ample opportunity and facilities for the numerous
social doings which our Boy and Girl consider necessary for a full
and happy school life.
Inaugurating the social season of '46-'47 was the annual Game
Night of Miss Prestera's Latin Club, held early in November. As an
added attraction to the evening's recreation, the club conducted a
beauty contest and the winners were given the names of such myth-
ical beauties as Venus and Helen of Troy. From its inception several
years ago, Game Night has been recognized as an integral and promi-
nent feature of the school's social tradition.
Late in November came the first of many dances. This first dance,
with the Junior Class as host, had the pleasantly alliterative title of
the "Clodhopper Classic."
In anticipation of the mirthful holiday season and the New Year
which would climax it, the Social Committee sponsored, in mid-Decem-
ber, the "Kilroy Kapers." For long weeks previous to this dance, the
true identity of its namesake was hush-hush. Then, on the long-awaited
night, Kilroy's mask came off and the secret was out—the ubiquitous
Kilroy: Evan Scowden.
Vacation, Christmas shopping, year's end, 1947, and back to
school. The Vocational boys welcomed the re-opening of the Alma
Mater with a dance on January 10 which carried the title, "Plaid
Hop."
Finally, one of the top social events of the year, the great annual
Mardi Gras, was at hand. Entertainment, refreshments, and dancing
made the two-night bazaar a gay and profitable affair.
In March another dance, play, and party came along, the first
two sponsored by the Harlequin Club, the third by the Vocational
School.
Two other paramount features of any year's social calendar are
the senior and junior class plays. This year they were the uproarious
comedy, SNAFU, by the seniors in February, and TEN LITTLE
INDIANS, the chilling mystery presentation of the juniors in May.
Both attested to the directional skill of the advisers for both classes,
and to the genuine effort and ability of the players .
On June 2, the great ball of the year: The Junior-Senior Prom.
It was the success we all expected it to be, a happy prelude to gradu-
ation. The seniors left school to enter college or that school of hard
knocks, Life, with a series of pleasant memories of three happy and
eventful years.

A BIT OF (LIGHT) ADVICE
It takes a lot of "doin' " to be a success in any chosen field.
It takes determination and perseverance and courage and—well,
you know the rest. But, one of the "musts" is just plain common
sense.
And it is common sense, and nothing more, to provide yourself
with ENOUGH of the RIGHT KIND of LIGHT for the job at hand.
Studying at college . . sewing . . working with tools . . designing or
even washing dishes .. whatever the job, it will be easier—and you'll
do it better — and that's at least one step toward success.

We mean—hearty congratulations—it’s been gratifying to
watch your progress—may the best of good fortune follow
you. And beyond these wishes is the literal promise of the
words—that we want to see you again and often, whether
