Harry l.. Bradford who leaves
Kingfield at the close of this year for
other fields of labor has been here
fire years and done excellent work
in all his school activities and from
his wide experience in teaching has
proved a valuable instructor and is
thoroughly modern and up-to-date,
graduating five very fine classes and
as the school board has stated, "the
quality of his work has been shown
by the standard attained by the x. II.
S. pupils entering higher institutions
the last class showing excellent seho-
larship and originality. 1t is with
regret also that the school parts with
Miss Carol Hamm who has been here
three years and Miss Alta Harris. The
former leaves for year of rest and
Miss Harris is to take trip west
during the coming year.
