The tal
dramatic producti
Parade, written b
rown, was
based on a true story. It told the dramatic tale of
them urder of Mary Phagan, performed by sophomore Kathryn Perry, in 1913 Atlanta, Georgia.
Junior Garen McRoberts portrayed Leo Frank,
the accu ed. The controver y stemmed from the
fact that Frank, a young Jewi h businessman
from ew York, was tried and convicted based
on virtually no evidence. The only "crime" he
committed was being in the wrong p lace at the
wrong time.
To ensure a guilty verdict, Hugh Dorsey, played
by junior Anthony Dare, coached the witnesses
on what to ay during the trial; from the young
female workers down to the custodians. Leo
Frank was entenced to be hanged. The climax
occured when Leo's wife, Lucille Frank, played
by senior Dana Ignarski, decided to take action.
Lucille a ked Governor Slaton, performed by
enior Kyle Tetting, for a little help. Leo was
found innocent, but to the people he was still
considered guilty. A shocking ending plunged
the audience into a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Parade portrayed humanity at its worst and
at its best.
"It was so good, it made me cry," said senior
Brianna Ko ki.

Unanimously voted on by all of the members of

choice attire for the girls at the dance. As for their
hair, mo t girls preferred the traditional look of
pinning the hair up while letting some curls cascade down around the face. But that's not to say
they all looked the same. Some girls simply left
their hair alone. The boys had the choice between
suits and a more casual look, such as a shirt and
black or khaki pants.
"I had to rush at the last minute to find a place that
would do my hair for the evening. Most places
were booked way in advance," said senior Diana

All in all, the dance was a major success for the Key

unny, hilc ri
and er a i ·e, the Bradford enior guys c rtainly put on a sho that en t: tained
student for the annual Mr. Bradford competition.
The competitors included eniors Matt Grimmer,
Ca ey Rude, Matt Minga, A wais Kahl eel, Andrew
Houle, Joe Pelini and Jay Pavlina.
The show was divided into four sections: a creative dance number, an introduction video, the
talent portion, and, of cour e, the formal wear. All
portion of the show offered the guy thechanceto
how their individuality to the crowd.
In the opening dance routine, the participants,
decked out in "I'm With Stupid" shirts, strutted

their tuff in front of the judge . They playfully
danced with chairs and even each other before the
real rivalry began.
"The shirts were very last minute because we
realized the guys didn't have anything to wear for
their opening skit. All the guys had a sense of
humor about it though," recounted senior Amanda
Stipek, one of the M.C's for the show.
The talent segment of the show was the most
hilarious and creative part. The talents ranged

" like in the
ie
2," sai Minga.
The formal wear was a time for the guy to be
escorted by a senior girl onto the stage to flaunt
their tylish suit . Rude's inter ting en emble ·
included a crushed velvet tuxedo and a lacy tuxedo shirt.
"I wanted it to be different because everyone
wears the same thing. I knew my suitwa going to
be very di similar than anything the other guy
were wearing," explained Rude.
During a brief interlude, the band Loser Takes
All performed while the judges tallied their vote .
Finally, it wa time for the winner to be announced. Second runner-up was Matt Grimmer;
first runner-up was A wais Khaleel; and this year's
Mr. Bradford went to Jay Pavlina.
The guys eemed to have the be t time just being
in the show and entertaining the chool regardle s
of who won.
"Mr. Bradford was great because I was on the
stage with all my friends. I loved the lack of
competitive fervor. All th participants were
friends so we didn't really care about who won or
not; it just wasn't about that," said Khaleel. < By

The dance proved to be one of the most successful ever held at Bradford, and students left that

On September 21, 2002,
the Bradford Red Devils
encountered the Racine
Horlick Rebels on Art
Keller Field for the annual
Homecoming Game.
Unfortunately, the game
did not go as the Red Devils had hoped.
Senior Israel Prieto injured his hand in the first
quarter. Luckily, the injury did not need immediate medical attention,
and to the delight of the
Devils, he only warmed
the bench for one or two
plays. However, when he
finally did re-enter the
game, the Devils were
down 21 points.
"We would do anything
for each other. We are like
a family," said Prieto.
The final score of the
game was 37-23.

"The outcome of the
game was not what we
expected, but we learned
from our mistakes," said
Coach Bartholomew.
Senior Mike Schroeder
also believed that the Red
Devils should have won
the game. He expressed
his extreme disappointment with the team's performance.
"I felt that we did not
play up to our full potential," said Schroeder,
"Some people believed
that we lost because we
were still upset over the
Bradford-Tremper game,
but I think our heads just
were not in the game. We
had too many turnovers,
and we were not playing
together as a team."
Senior Elius Crespo, cocaptain of the football

team, felt the team played
much betterthanlastyear.
Many players lifted
weights in the off-season
and all the extra work
showed on the field.
"Throughout the game, I
was thinking about how
we needed to act together,
stop making careless mistakes, and get back in the
game," said Crespo, "I
would also like to thank
my offensive line (seniors
Anthony Perrine, David
Persson, Israel Prieto,
Ryan Robers, juniors Justin Ray, and David
Clausen) for a great year."
Despite the rough Homecoming Game, the Red
Devil squad remained determined to have a successful end to the football
season. < By Krstina

On the afternoon of September 20th, many tudent , taff, and community members gathered
together at Harvey Elementary School to look
on or participate in the
Homecoming Parade.
The parade began in

chool and ended at our
very own Bradford High
School. The streets were
lined with many different
families and student
cheering on as the variety
of truck and floats pa ed
them by.
"I had fun at the parade
because it was my fir t
time going and there was
so much excitement going on all around me. I
cannot wait to see next
year' parade," said junior Gilberto Reyes.

Most of the float building took place the week
prior. Decoration included many different
things, like a gorilla captured in a cage in the
middle of the float, and a
rebel roa ting on a spit.
Floats varied from jungle
themes to "R.I.P. the
Rebels."
"Building a massive
graveyard scene for the
junior cla float wa a lot
of fun. It gave us a reason
to come together and create a masterpiece that really represented what our
class was all about," said
Kiersten Meader.
Classmate worked hard
on their floats in order to
win the annual float conte t. In the pa t, the seniors have dominated and
had to work hard against

their competitors in order
to keep their reputation.
The senior did not di appoint. Along with the
swim team, the senior
class shared the title of
fir tplace. "Survivor," the
theme of the dance, wa
u ed as the seniors' main
inspiration for their float.
"It brought all the clas es
together to just have some
clean school-spirited fun.
I'm really glad I got the
chance to participate in it.
Riding on and building
the senior float were definitely some great memorie ," said senior Katey
Wall.

As graduation drew
near, many seniors found
themselves pondering the
futures of their lives.
When they were little, the
question was, "what do
you want to be when you
grow up?" Thoughts of
veterinarians and firemen
came to mind.
In high school, other
questions arose. Arn I going to college? Where?
What am I going to do?
Will I get married? Where
will I end up? Many seniors knew exactly what
they wanted to do.
"I'm planning on going
to Madison. Honestly, I
want to major in about
four different things, but
mainly I'm looking at
Joumalism and Photography. I would love to work
for National Geographic,

but I'll settle for anything
that lets me travel," said
senior Erin Gray.
"I'm planning on majoring in art education at the
University of WisconsinMilwaukee to pursue my
hopes of becoming an elementary school art teacher," said senior Aaron
Gundersen.
Of course, some had the
big dream of getting rich
from the easiest job possible and living in a mansion.
Many seniors also hoped
to get married in the future.
"Down the line, I definitely would like to get
married. If I find someone
I do want to marry, I will
treat her like the lady she
is. I'd expect the same respect and love in return,"

said senior Awais Khaleel.
Although many seniors
were busy making plans
and applying to colleges,
some still weren't completely sure where they
would like to go.
'Tm not sure what I'm
doing. I don't even know
where I'm going to college yet. However, I'm not
going to worry about it
too much, I'll figure it out
eventually," said senior
Lauren Bowen.
Hopefully each individual will be successful
in their own way.
Although their futures
boggled their minds, seniors stayed confident in
making their decisions,
one step at a time. < By

Incoming freshmen often
feel that high school will
be endless, with graduation o far away. However,
any senior would tell you
otherwise. As seniors
looked back, their time
spent at Bradford seemed
to fly by.
During their four year
stay, seniors experienced
both the stressful and the
rewarding moments of
high school. From dance
to football games, tests to
projects, tears to smiles,
tho e years were full of
memories.
Although students were
all involved in a wide variety of activities, everyone had omething to mi
when it was over. Most
students agreed that they
would miss socializing
with their friends on a

daily basis.
"I will miss my friends
the most. I mean, I will see
some of them after high
school, but it won't be the
same. I can't pass them
notes, or tell them in the
hall what is bothering me
that day," aid senior Jessica Johnson.
Other enior said that it
would be their teachers,
coaches, and even Mr.
Practice Peace himself,
Mr. Mangi, that they
would miss the most.
"This chool was like
family, a close-knit group.
You knew everyone. If
you didn't know someone
personally, you usually
knew who they were. It's
just not the same way in
college or in the work
world," said enior Rachel

Rosie Zurad.
"Just being with friends

Plaid shirts, straw hats,
ripped jeans and cowboy
boots created the atmosphere of authentic farm
country on the cool ovember night of the Sadie
Hawkins dance.
Originally, the senior
class was sponsoring the
dance, but plans ended up
in the hands of the student council. The organization decided to use the
event to raise funds for
the Muscular Dystrophy
Association.
Because virtually everyone who attended came in
a costume that matched
the hoedown environment, the dance had been
deemed the greatest
Bradford jamboree ever.
To the delight of the stu-

dents, even the music was
mixed appropriately; consisting of a twist of country and dance, the music
met the wishes of everyone attending. The majority of the group came with
the idea of gettin' down.
As a result, the dance floor
was never lifeless.
Senior Erin Cummings,
the DJ, was able to work in
a set of line dancing.
"It was great that everyone really got into it. The
crowd was very enthu iastic," said Cummings.
Even though the dance
was a hit, the attendance
was considered below average. The total number
of attendees was approximately 240. An average
Bradford dance usually

magnetizes a crowd of 700
to even 900 tudents.
Most felt the relatively
low participation level
wa due to the opening of
the new movie, 8 Mile.
Play practice and various
other extracurricular
events also took place that
day.
"I wa torn with having
to choo e, but I just had to
go ee the new Eminem
movie. I wish they would
have scheduled the dance
on a different date," aid
senior Josh Kreye.

Students joined together
and accompli hed much
by volunteering their time
and donating to charity.
Students and faculty
gathered in the Fieldhou e
for an entertaining yet
meaningful M.D.A. asembly.
In an effort to encourage
tudents to donate to the
fund, teacher Mr. Arnold
allowed his hair to be
morphed into a mohawk.
"I did it to teach students
omething. I want kids to
know that they are capable
of stepping out of the box,
and that they are able to
do something that is for a
good cause," said Mr.
Arnold.

Equally entertaining wa
the dou ing in honey of
senior Anthony Perrine
and teacher Ms. Schliecher. In a heated question and an wer duel, the
two fired responses to
que tions asked by the
Ma ter of Ceremony.
Whoever answered the
question incorrectly was
completely drenched in
the golden runny honey.
In the mid t of all the
chaos, marketing students
walked up and down

From car payments, insurance payments, to gas,
many car-owning student found themselves

"I don't know why I
work," said senior Melis a
Kuntz, "I guess it keep
me out of trouble."
Also, other "necessities"
consumed student's paychecks, the most popular
being cell phone .
"I pay an average of
$35.00 per month for my
cell phone, and thatisonly
when I don't go over my
minutes. It doesn't sound
like much, but it adds up,"
said junior Shani Parker.
"I got a job because my
parents laid down that
'you need to be responsible and tart paying for
your own things' line, and
I ju t got tired of hearing
it," said senior Malt Bo .
There were downsides
to having a job while attending school.

"It detracted from the
time I had to study and
complete my homework.
Al o, it limited the opportunities to be involved in
extracurricular activities
or even to just hang out
with friend ," aid senior
Dana Mattox.
Although having a job
could be a ha le, it is
something that ome students had to do. It gave
tho e who worked a good
sense of responsibility. In
addition, it helped students figure out what they
did or did not want to do
for a future career.
"I've had four jobs in the
last year, and I finally accepted that there is no job
that will make me happy,"

Have you ever noticed
the school spirit Bradford
had at the football games
or ba ketball games ?
Our school spirit wa

many times when students became very involved in the games and
really showed their chool
spirit.
"We have really good
chool spirit because even
if our team i losing,
people till come to watch,
it doe not matter if it i an
away or home game. We
alway have support no
matter what," aid senior
Matthew Hardy.
The Bradford cheerleaders worked hard to maintain our school spirit. They

put on amazing shows
during assemblies and
games. The crowd alway
enjoyed their efforts.
"I think we have the most
pirited fans becau e they
are so energetic. It i like
they are part of the team.
At our home games you
look to the opponent ide
and see alma t empty
stands, but anywhere we
go we bring our fans with
and that ays a lot about
our spirit," said senior Jennifer Ohr, a cheerleader.
Our school pirit did not
revolve around winning.
"I think Bradford has a
lot of school spirit. Even
when we lose, we still win
with our fan ," aid enior Eric Donahue.
There were ome students and even faculty
that believed our school

Solo and Ensemble was a
city-wide event, where
Kenosha's you th gathered
at Bradford High School
to show off their musical
talents (or lack thereof).
There were three categories that students could
enter in: class C, which
involved the younger tudents; class B, where you
found the intermediate
players; and the almighty
cla s A, where top players
came to compete and po ibly qualify for tate.
Solo and ensemble wa
open to all types of musician , including choirs, or-

chestras, and bands. As
the name suggests, piece

of you that didn't know, a
group consists of two or
more people.
either the soloist nor
the ensembles competed
against each other. Rather,
tudent entered for their
own benefit , trying to top
their personal be t. Students were graded on a
scale from five to one in
categorie such a tone
and articulation, one being the highest. A one star
was only offered to clas
A students, which qualified them for tate competition.
If a one was received, the musician performed
very out tanding in their
event. A two wa above

average, a three was average, and a four wa below
average. Anyone who received a five just totally
crewed things up.
"It was funny, because
our quartet didn't tart
practicing the music until
the day of the competition. We walked into the

Bradford s tudents
showed off their talent in
the dramatic productions
Lost in Younkers, David and
Lisa and Spoon River Anthology.
David and Lisa,
Bradford's first dramatic
production of the year,
was a complex tale of teenage love and mental illness.
"I both anticipated and
feared playing David.
Overall I enjoyed the unpredictable nature of the
characters," said senior
Michael Hedden.
The fascinating personalities of the character in
David and Lisa captivated
the audience and preented drama tudents
with a demanding challenge.
"Thi play was a new ex-

perience for me. I've
played funny roles and serious roles, but this was
the most dramatic by far,"
said senior Brianna
Hubbard.
"The most challenging
part about playing Sandra
was showing that she
wasn't stupid, just childish," said enior Shannon
Cheney.
Ba ed in the 1940' s, Lost
In Yonkers was full of emotion and character. The
story of a dy functional
family forces the audience
to experience a rollar
coaster of emotions, one
instant laughing and another moment in tear .
"While people may not
alway seem to have good
intention , truth of goodness emerges in the end,"
aid junior Anthony Dare.

The deceased characters
in the story Spoon River
Anthology told their life
stories. The poetic monologues confess the real
purpose for the lives of
these thrilling characters.
"It was really a challenge
for me to be able to relate
to my characters. I had to
focus on their lives and
really dig into the role,"
said freshmen Maria
Ruffalo.
Director Hershel
Kreuger showed irnmen e
pride when looking back
on the year.
"This year was very successful. We had everal

The Mezcla Americana Club was granted a
"Cinco de Mayo" a embly to celebrate the
Mexican ' defeat of the French. Although
they appreciated the privilege of being
granted an a sembly for the day, they decided to be different thi year by including
other Hispanic cultures.
"It wa ea ier this year to get more people
involved than in past years. I tried to challenge the Hispanic by doing things differently from the norm by u ing all types of
ethnic groups and recognizing other culture ," aid senior Alfonso Gaitan.
Thi was hown when Whitewater' dancers danced a traditional Peruvian dance.
"I thought that the Hispanic assembly wa a
lot of fun and I learned a lot about the different Hispanic cultures that I didn' t know
about," aid enior Ryne Montemurro.
They involved people from different backgrounds when the Bradford's dance team
hooked up with the members of the Mezcla
~

Americana Club to perform an awesome
danc .
"I thought that performing for the Hispanic
assembly was fun and I am glad I got to meet
more people at chool," aid junior Jamice
Glas.
Other Hispanic cultures were not the only
thing that got recognized. M . Dubie was
honored and thanked for all the hard work
that she had done. Many of the tudents
thoughtthatitwa timethatM . Dubieknew
how appreciated and loved she was.
The Hispanic a sembly also had th owner
of Lupita's Restaurant as a guest peaker.
After Mr. Perez's speech, there was a burrito
eating contest that had many laughs. Of
cour e, the a embly could not end without
the traditional grito contest, which was won
by Mr. Santiago.
"Although I thought the a sembly wa a
little too short, it was definitely cool," said
enior Silvester Tatum. < By Melis a Gitzlaff

One of Broadway' longest running mu icals, A Chants Line, was repris 'd for Bradford's
last mu ical production of the year. The muical portrayed a literal chorus line; dancers
and ingers trying out for the chorus of a
Broadwaymusical.The toryevolveda Zach
the director, played by junior Anthony Dare,
questioned each of the actor about their
per onal live . The role of Zach pre ented an
intere ting challenge for Dare. A the director, the character of Zach wa largely played
as a voice from the audience giving out orders and a king que tions.
"With being out in the audience, it wa a
little harder to stay actively focused on the
show because I wasn't very close to the other
actor who were on stage, and I couldn't as
ea ily feed off of their energy or off the energy that being on stage give you," aid
Dare.
The production featured many familiar face
of the drama department, including ·enior
Dana Ignar ki, ick Moore, Alfonso Gaiton,

Lizann Villatoro, Mandy Pacheco, Tara
Scalzo, Mimi Roscioli- reco, and Ajay Bedi.
"I can't see any other how that I would
have rather ended the year with. It allowed
me to do all the things I love the mo t, nonstop for an hour and a half," said Moore.
"A Chorus Li11ewas a great show to finish off
the year. There were no true lead roles; each
character brought a little something different. As a ca tit felt as if we were unifi d, like
the senior class walking aero the tage,"
aid senior Dana Ignarski.
Although it only ran for one weekend, A
Clzonts Line was well received.
"I liked it because it was funny and showed
all the different personalitie of the dancers,"
aid junior athan Brown.
A Chants Line ended the successful year on a
high note.
"We had a great year. It's sad when the
seniors leave, but we have a lot of talent
for next year," aid in tructor Holly
Stanfield. < By Aaron Gunder en

Ghost , gardens and gate with missing key
were featured in Bradford's second musical,
The Secret Garden.
Adapted from the novel of the ame name
by Franci Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden told the tale of Mary Lennox. She was ent
to live with her reclusive uncle in England
after both her parents died of cholera. The
mystery increa ed when Mary di covered
her Aunt Lily' garden. The gate to the garden had been locked after her death. Mary
was given strict in tructions from the uncle
that no one ever enter it. Mary's curiosity is
piqued, and with the help of servant Dickon
and Martha and her new 1y discovered cousin
Colin, they find the key and re tore the garden.
The upernatural played a big role in Tlze
Secret Garden. Mary' parents, aunt and several of the people Mary knew in India reappeared a ghosts.
"Ghost made up 90 percent of the cast; we

all got to wear white flowing co tume . It wa
definitely a new and exciting experience. The
best part was getting to fly," said enior Ro ie
Zurad, who played Lily.
One of the many challenges for the actors
were the accent , which ranged from a traditional English accent to a Yorkshire accent.
"My character Martha had a very heavy
Yorkshire accent, o I ounded kinda funny
at fir t. Eventually it came almo t naturally
and I found myself speaking it at odd time ,"
said senior Bryanna Vancaster.
Another challenge wa the dancing. "I had
never taken any dance classes, so it took
longer for me to learn all of the moves," said
ophomore Mike Castaldi.
The play attracted a large number of people.
The entire performance reached many audience member on a more per onal level.
"It was truly a touching story, and I really
got attatched to the characters," said senior
Rachel Best. < By Aaron Gundersen

It was a chance for tudents to give a little of
themselv to help others. It was a chance to
be charitable with omething held preciou .
It wa a chance to get out of class.
On April 29th, the annual blood drive took
place in the fieldhou e. Many students and
taff turned out to donate their blood to the
Blood Center of Wisconsin. Once again, Student Council wa in charge.
"We met our goal for the blood drive and we
even had more people come to donate than I
ever expected," aid junior Eileen Haebig.
Most of the students were in and out in a
fairly short time while others took a little
longer.
"My scheduled time was at 9:00 a.m. and I
didn't get out of there until after 11:00 a.m.,"
commented junior Carolyn Hansen.
Things did not nece arily go smoothly for
all tudents.
"I fainted," said junior Heather Lowenbine.

"They took my blood again because something went wrong, and even after that, they
ended up not being able to u e it."
Students were told to tay in the area and
partake from the snack table to get their blood
sugar level back up before they went back to
class. The mo t popular snack were cookies
and juice, which contained enough sugar to
quickly get tudents back on their feet.
Students over 17 years old and 110 pound
were allowed to give blood.
"I wanted to give blood but I was one pound
shy. They actually weighed me," said enior
Lauren Bowen.
Other restrictions were that donors could
not have gotten any tattoos for a year and
could not have taken any drug .
With the help of many of the Student Council member , this year ' blood drive was a
complete success. They hope next years' is
just as ucce ful. < By April Stefani

Hundreds of talented Bradford tudents

tanding room only crowd.
The guest conductor was Dr. Richard
Hynson who conducted the Bel Canto Choru in Milwaukee. He vi ited Bradford as
well a the other chool only once before
mas ing the tudents for the combined performance. Choral students completely filled
one ide of the bleache with no room to
spare.
Each chool ang individual selections before the combined numbers. The Bradford
Treble Choir combined with the A Capella
girls and received a tanding ovation for
"Freedom Come."
"A standing ovation was not expected, but it

was really appreciated. It came as a shock to
mo tofus," aid junior Kelly Woods.
The combined voice were al o outstanding. For one night all school rivalry was put
Ruth Wilkins
Smnnoh Willkomm
aside.
"It' s cool that every year, rivals and the
people we face on the football field, can actually get along for a day and work together to
make music," said senior David Per son.
The A Capella Choir performed "The Devil
Erik Wind
and The Farmers Wife," while the mixed Nicholu Wojciechowicz

The Black Hi tory Month progam was very
in pirational to a lot of people. ot only wa
it entertaining, it was also very informative.
Two affluent member of Bradford's community, Wilma John on from ecurity and
bridge teacher Gloria Chatman, were in
charge of the annual Black Hi tory Month
program. The guest speaker at the Black Hi tory Month a embly was Mr. Stan Johnson,
the pre ident of WEAC, the Wisconsin Education Association Council which promotes
respect and upport for quality public education. He gave a powerful and informational
speech. The Po itive Bradford Stepper al o
performed.during the a embly. They took a
break from their usual stepping and decided
to perform an African dance. They danced to
the song, "Let the People Dance," which got
everybody moving and clapping. Some
people, feeling posses ed by the trong spirit
of the assembly, even got up and danced

along with the Steppers. The program wa
received favorably by both tudent and staff.
"With all the diversity Bradford has, it's nice
that they put together a program like this,"
said senior Calvin Lewis.
"I am glad that we had a wonderful Black
Hi tory Month Program. I hope it only improves after I graduate from Bradford," said
senior A hanti Beard.
Many tudents also learned thing about
Kenosha's hi tory.
"I found it intere ting that the descendants of
the first black family in Kenosha still go to
Bradford," remarked fre hman Charlie Erdall.
Another interesting feature at the assembly
was a slide show that included all of the
African-American faculty here at Bradford. It
was very funny and touching at the same
time, especially when it featured Marty Harris, a teacher who had pa ed away earlier in
the chool year.< By Felicia Chatman

With a population of nearly 2,000 tudents,
the halls were a me during passing time. It
would have been practically impo sible to
distinguish people with a quick glance if
students didn't take it upon themselve to
develop their own ense of style to tand out
and be recognized.
Bradford b came a circus of variety; with
images including thrift , ghetto fab, unique
and homemade, old chool punk rock, new
age pop punk, hot topic hounds, glam, classic
prep, ska , and many more that help to create
the creative mix that is our chool' diver e
atmo phere. For many though, comfort is
key.
"I lide on my flip-flop every morning regardless of the weather," said senior Jaimee
Stephens.
Hairstyles were al o varied, from long, to
cropped, spiked, or dyed a multitude of color . Many of the girls simply pulled their hair

back in a ponytail or clip to keep it out of their
face.
Individuality is encouraged by many of the
staff in hope of having people learn to get
along with others not ba ed on their outward
appearance, but by the content of their character.
"It i nice when students from all sorts of
backgrounds can come together and work as
a team to accompli h a common goal," said
Mr . Hoffman, yearbook advisor.
However, there is a negative side. Cliques
are e tablished and stereotypes arise.
"I have noticed that a lot of the kids I was
good friends with in middle school have
changed in both appearance and personality.
Their new found sense of self created a riff
and it made us not a do e as we u ed to be,"
complained junior oelle Voelz.

at Bradford look good. < By Mari Corrao

Having taken place on March 15th in the

worthwhile for it participants. Included in
the event were participant from all public
chool who were a part of the orchestra
program.
The e school were then divided by grade
level and po itioned appropriately in the
entire seating configuration of the event. Each
divi ion played a eparate mu ical piece.
Moreover, participants on the middle and
high school levels even played some pieces
imultaneou ly.
La ting only two hours, the event was one of
the horte tin Bradford-Orchestra-Festivalhi tory. Although the event was relatively
short, participants believed that the event

was short but sweet," said junior Tiffany
Hardy.
Sophomore Seba tian Price aid, "The length
of the event is not important. What matters is
the people of the concert getting together to
give their audience a good how."
"The concert was a great opportunity for
student to experience diversity. Allowing
all of the area schools to participate created a
sense of unity among tudents," aid enior
Kathy Mosher.
It's a tradition every year to invite omeone
new to work with the orchestra group. This
years guest conductor was Professor Alvaro
Garcia. Profe or Garcia, shared with them a
Spani h influence, along with his musical
experti e.

year's Orchestra Festival say that they will
undoubtedly be a part of next year's event. <

The saying ays 'there is powers in numbers'. This was certainly true for the 46th
annual Band 0 Rama performance in the
Bradford fieldhouse this year. Over 2,000
musicians from over ten chools displayed
their individual as well a combined talent
on Saturday, February 1st and Sunday, February 2nd for the entire community. The
guest conductor, Profe or Timothy Wie
from Oderlin College, conducted the combined group for their big numbers.
The Bradford bands performed many ongs
including "Budape t Impre ions" played
by the combined concert band led under the
direction of the guest conductor. The combined Symphonic band performed "Dies
Fe tus" from "Gloriosa" which was also conducted by the guest conductor. Altogether
the combined high schools performed "My tery on the Mena Mountain" with direction
from the guest conductor.

One highlight for the high school student
was to hear the elementary and middle student play.
"It's fun to look back and hear all the songs
that we used to play and to see how we have
improved," said senior Shaun Hernandez.
The support for the members, as usual, wa
amazing. Packed with parents, friend , and
family, the Bradford fieldhouse wa jammed
with excitrnent. The remarkable turn out
certainly helped the confidence of the band
students. But even the advanced members
get the jitter .
"Even if you've played in Band-0-Rama
since you were in elementary school, once
you look at the crowd, you still get
butterflie ,"stated junior Ryan Knudson.
But butterflie didn't eem to matter though,
as this year's Band-0-Rama successfully
brought together the musical talents of
Keno ha's chools. <By Katie Diener

Despite the freezing temperatures outside,
sophomores heated up the cafeteria-turned
dance floor.
Students gathered together and had a blast at
the annual Sophomore Sweetheart Dance.
The theme this year was "In Da Club." With
the help of a large group of dedicated sophomores, the walls and floor of the cafeteria
were decorated with streamers, balloons and
even a fog machine.
Students dressed in their very best dubbin'
gear to show off their dance skills in the
cafeteria. Mid-drift shirts, low rise jeans, bellies and shaking bottoms were everywhere!
With excitement in the atmosphere and music thumping, the Sophomore Sweetheart
dance wa a success. Sound effects and the
fog machine added to all of the thrills on the
dance floor.
"I had fun being the D.J. The sight of everyone dancing to my mixes was so cool," said

junior Ryan Gurrereo.
Gurrereo was notorious for playing only the
"freshest lyrics." Students got their groove to
such arti ts as elly, 50 Cent and Ja Rul .
The dance started promptly at 8:00 pm and
lasted until 10:00 pm.
"That night was so much fun. I wouldn't
change a thing," said junior John Scozzaro.
When it came time to announce the new
Sophomore Sweetheart King and Queen,
sophomores Jannette Apilado and Joseph
Livingston wore the crowns.
"I had hoped so badly to become queen and
when they said my name, my heart skipped
a beat and like, I smiled so hard!" said sophomore Jannette Apilado.
"The cool thing wa that my brother was
named king at his Sophomore Sweetheart
dance, and this year it became my turn," said
sophomore Joseph Livingston. <By Jose

Everyday students were allowed one thirty
minute digression from the treachery of gruelling coursework.
In their quantum leap from middle school
into the highly academically independent
milieu of high school, freshmen realized how
pricele a moment of rest could truly be-whether they utilized this brief interval of
time to indulge in a scrumptuous school lunch
or complete an overdue project. "I u ed my
lunchtime to talk with my friends and sometimes to do my homework," said freshman
Alec Ziesemer.
The lovely ladies of the lunch-lady taff
eemed to agree that just seeing tudents
every day brought a moment of relief to their
otherwi e monotonous task of crubbing
soiled surfaces. Relieved of the burden of
di pen ing students' leftovers, the lunch ladie were able to make certain that every
lunch table was virtually spotless as a re ult.
Members of the diversity circles team arranged for a zodiac sign-de ignated seating
agenda entitled, "Mix It Up Day." The event

aimed to dis ect Bradford students' ritualistic, mechanized coteries and tran planting
tudents' autocentricsocial views with more
approbious ones.
"I was able to speak with many people and
make friends with other student . I think
that the event was a great idea," said freshman Marcus Savaglio.
A number of students agreed that the quality of the cafeteria food was less-thanesculent.
"I would like to see an increase in quality of
public school cafeteria food," said Ziesemer.
In contrast, a fair number of ·tudents took
a food-is-food stand.
"I don't come to inspect the quality of food.
We're lucky we have acce s to food, period," concluded freshman Christopher
Elrod.
Arguments uch as the e added to the diverse ambience of lunchtime chat.
o other school's student knew how to
make lunch fun like the wonderful tudent
of Bradford.< By James Gavagan

Getting from one point to any other point in
the school in less than eight minutes should
not have been too hard. However, with the
enormous fre hman class, added to the congregations of people in the hallways, this
proved to be a difficult task for many.
"Every year it seem like the freshman class
gets bigger and bigger," said senior Amy
Roschyk.
However, the problem was not simply the
number of students in the halls. Those individuals who couldn't seem to grasp the concept of walking in an orderly fashion, or
sometimes walking at all, caused the most
chao . Stopping in the middle of the hall to
chat with friends, pu hing people out of the
way to move fa ter, and shouting in
everyone's ears to joke around were common
occurrence .
"It is a hassle just to get to my locker," said
ophomore Samantha Traylor, "I have to yell
at people to get out of my way."

Some students found it amu ing to chase
their friends through the hall . They ignored
everyone in their paths, sometime colliding
with others instead.
Other tudents also felt that teachers contributed to the crowds. "Teachers hem and
haw about us being late and like to hand out
detentions. Sometimes it's also the teachers
who are standing in huddles with each other,
crowding the halls," said senior Melissa Kunz.
"I mean, cut us some slack!"
Students hould be expected to be punctual
to their classes, but the overcrowding did not
make it easy.
"It's even crowded after school in the weight
room and the entire gym itself," said junior
Justin Ray.
The dilemma of overcrowded hallways
could have easily been reduced if everyone
put forth a little more effort. Until then, let the
shouting, shoving, and stopping continue!

Over the year , Bradford ha had many
teachers come and go but one may be remembered the most. Mr. Dan Brook finally retired after working at Bradford for 35 years.
He may have thought that it wa his time to
leave, but ome tudent think otherwi e.
"He always kept you on your toe in class.
You had to tay focused becau e you never
knew what he was going to do next. He was
an awesome teacher and he'll be mi sed,"
stated junior Lori Ann Dionne.
His government and politics cla was one
of the highlights of students' day . Replacing
him will be hard. Mr. Bill eiman, though,
has stepped up to the plate.
"It wasn't as much about taking over for Mr.
Brooks, but to start a new beginning for myself. oonecanmakeupforwhatBrook did
to the school," said new government and
politics teacher, Mr. eiman.
Quirky and outspoken, Mr. Brooks, added

punk to whatever he was teaching and you
may even say to the Bradford environment.
Everywhere he went, Mr. Brooks made sure
he was not overlooked. Known for being a
slight loud mouth, he was the king of comebacks in the halls. Always exchanging wisecracks with the student , he may have fit in
better there than in the teachers' lounge.
"Mr. Brooks had a distinct voice and a personality to accompany it. You could hear him
coming from across the school. Even though
he was known for being wild and crazy, he
was so thoughtful and con iderate of hi
coworkers," said librarians Diane Sorenson,
Donna Town end, Melis a Westland, and
Beth Mentek.
Mr. Brooks will always be remembered at
Bradford, by teachers and students alike. He
will be remembered for his humor and crazine s, but tudents will remember him as their
favorite teacher. <By Katie Diener

For a mall fee of $2.00, students had an
opportunity thi year to participate in intramural ba ketball. Every Monday and Friday,
the eight team (including a faculty team) of
the Bradford Intramural Basketball League
(BIBL) arrived at the fieldhouse at ix o'clock
in the morning and played basketball until
7:00. This year, the teams con i ted of approximately six to eight players; however,
each team wa allowed only one enior who
was on the Bradford ba ketball team, for
obvious reasons. The administrators of the
league consisted of Mr. Fo ter and Mr. Knecht,
while the latter was even a member of the
faculty's team. The team that held the best
record advanced to the finals, where the competition was even higher. The winners of this
competition recieved per onalized trophies.
"It' a tough game, that' for sure, but when
you have guys like [Lucas] Dix and [James]
Gavagan on your team, that certainly makes
up for it," said junior Antonio Montemurro,

a leading player both defensively and offenively for the top-ranked team, "Dix and Six
Ball Handlers."
"I getup at4:00 A.M. every game day. I love
thi game!" declared senior Andrew Sinnen,
also a member of the elite squad.
Winning the intramural basketball competition la t year, the "St. Loona Toon " team
looked to defend its title. Top-ranked, this
team also boasted outstanding players. However, in moving down the hierarchy of bask tball ability, we meet the other even teams
whose overall abilities also appeared to be
quite above average, albeit the players of the
faculty squad, to put it lightly, seemed to be
"le s capable" this year than in previous years.
The coache of the league even awarded
each of the players of the winning team a
trophy. While one of the primary goals of the
program was to keep students "out of
trouble," tudents even reported that they
enjoyed participating. < By James Gavagan

ew clothe , school upplies, and making
new friends gave the incoming cla an opportunity to tart anew at Fre hmen Registration.
"I wa looking forward to chool starting
because I thought it was going to be more fun
with more freedom. Plus the people at registration were very nice and helpful which left
me with a good impression," aid freshman
Cas ie Farmer.
While at registration, the newcomers had
the opportunity to be introduced to faculty
members and fellow students. They also had
a chance to familiarize them elve with the
school layout.
"I wa o nervou . I thought that I was going
to get lo t since the school seemed to be so
big, but thanks to the people who were at
registration, I felt more at ease and a lot more
comfortable," aid freshman Judy Castro.
"I was afraid that I wasn't going to be able to

handle the classes I had cha en, but was
rea ured once I talked to my counselor,"
said fre hman Mari ela Gonzales.
Freshmen registration was not just about
getting your chedule and taking pictures
for the yearbook. It also gave freshmen a
chance to ee what after school activitie
were offered at Bradford. The upper classmen were on hand to recruit by giving them
u eful tips and information about the variou chool activities dissolving the misconception of upperclassmen picking on fre hmen.
"I wa a little scared because I heard that
senior pick on freshmen by making fun of
them. I wa intimidated by the fact that
everyone wa a lot bigger than me, but after
coming to registration, I met some nice
people and I didn't feel as scared," aid

If people have pets, they have a respon ibility, and al o a friend. Pets can be cool and
e en ometime annoying when not Ii tening. You mu t alway show love and attention to have a good pet. Even though they are
animal , they till need love. Pet are everywhere, even at Bradford. During spring, Bradford had a pet goo e who laid egg . The
school waited for the geese to hatch.
" It was really exciting!." said freshman Janice
Venega
It wa uprising how many teachers and
student were actively involved in taking
care of the goo e.
"I watched the goo e build her ne t. Shortly
after , their wa a now to rm and all you
could ee wa the head of the goo e," aid
Mr. Ruder.
Librarian Mrs. Town end also played a crucial role in the goo e aga.
"I put a piece of paper on the door to top the

male goo e from pecking at the door thinking it wa another male trying to get to hi
babie ," aid Mr . Town end.
The male goose caused a huge mess in front
of the door giving the cu todian extra work.
"Sometime when their wa a goo e protecting the eggs, you couldn't tell if it was the
mother or the father, but they both worked
together to warm the eggs," aid Mr .
Town end.
"They looked like little white fur balls right
after they hatched," said Mr . Ruder.
A nature preserve was contacted and they
took the egg so they would have a afe place
to grow up.
"The male and female geese hung around
after their eggs were gone thinking they
would come back, but finally after a week
they realized they weren't coming back,"
aid cu todian Dominick Gianini. <By Kelle

proper lifting techniques and other conditioning drills that helped educate them in

The dance program had increa ed in size

It was hard not to notice the "uniqueness" of

Many students grew all too familiar with
the tedious steps of the writing proce s.
"There was no way to leave Mrs. Ane on's

Classes often included heated discussions
and debates. "Discussions in class were very
fun. It was cool how you could be arguing
about something, and then the next second
go off on a tangent and spend half an hour
debating something completely stupid," said
sophomore Adrian Hill.
Although English wa a graduation requirement, the multitude of classes offered

___,,

After having a hard time working around
the teacher contract last year, Sportainment
found new success. The group was devoted
to building school spirit at functions such as
football and basketball games. The students
orchestrated the success of the Marty Harri
scholarship game, the annual Winter Cla ic
tournament, and the Bradley Center varsity
boys basketball game.
The Marty Harris scholar hip game coincided with Sportainment' "Pack the Place"
game. As usual, they inflated the giant tunnel
for the players of each team to enter through.
This time however, they also raffled off tons
of prizes for eager fans.
The Winter Classic tournament would not
have been so successful if it wasn't for the
hard work of Sportainment students. They
took charge of all the advertising needed,
such as radio commercial on local radio
stations. They organized theexcitingFanFun
events such as Turkey Bowling and were in
charge of ticket sales.
Sportainment attended Play hop to partici-

f

pate in team building activities, and to thinl
of exciting ideas for the coming sports year
A for the Bradley Center basketball gam
Sportainment put on the entire event. Witt
help from South Milwaukee's Sports Market
ing class, they were able to organize th~
exciting event, complete with a Super Force
Breakers performance at halftime.
Aside from all the effort they made outsidt
of school, Sportainment students also worl
hard during class.
"You must be constantly working and com
ing up with new ideas. If you get lazy, yOL
mess up the whole team's system," said enior Brendon Anderson.
Sportainment was very different from other
clubs or classes, in the sense that the studen~
needed to get help from people outside ol
school to sponsor the many events put on.

You may have een InfraRed's staff at
Bradford boys' football and basketball
games. You may also have seen them at the
Winter Classic tournament and even
parent teacher conferences. InfraRed set up
an area for fans to buy beverages, sweets
and apparel at most of the home games.
InfraRed helped to raise money for the
Marty Harris scholarship fund by selling
Jersey Coolies at games.
"The money from the Jersey Coolies went
to a very good cause. It was really cool to
see everyone buying them and supporting
the scholarship," said junior Jenny
Werwie.
For one day, InfraRed stayed open
throughout the school day. This day
became known as Thankful Tuesday. All of
the profits went to MDA.
The staff of the fund also ran Bradford's
school store. They were open before
school, during lunches, and after school.
The staff of InfraRed did not earn money
working in the store. Instead, they earned

a credit of internship in the area of Retail
Merchandising and Management. The
students worked hard to make InfraRed
successful, in the store and in the classroom.
InfraRed went to Playshop in the summer. Here, the staff worked on the schedule of events, team-building, and leadership. This was when everyone came
together with the same goal: to make
InfraRed the be t it has ever been.
"I had a great time at Playshop. We got to
plan our year and have fun at the same
time," emphasized Junior Kristopher
Hopper.
InfraRed had twenty-two different
managers. These students were respon ible
for making sure that everything went
smoothly. They also made sure that
InfraRed had the products that the students wanted.
"I loved making all of the customers
happy," said Senior Alfonso Gaitan. <By

When competition time rolled around,

against eachother during the day, they frequently went out together at night for shopping, dinner and just plain fun.
In February, the organization participated
in one of the biggest competitions of the year
at Menominee Falls High School. The competition consisted of various events that were
related to business ordeals, computer knowledge, writing skills and other various aspect
of the business world. In April, the talented
group then moved on to state competition
held in Green Bay.

~e most of a goo~J

thing
Ever wonder who' behind some of the key
social events of the school year such as Homecoming, Mr. Bradford, the blood drive, and
Sadie Hawkin dance? Well wonder no more.
The Bradford Student Council was very
bu y this year plotting and organizing it's
many activities and events for the year.
According to junior Sarah Edmiston, "the
Student Council has been working hard to
unite the different grades in order to work
together and establish good ties in the community."
In the pa t year, the club took a more
parlimentary approach to running meetings.
Senior Stephanie Feichtner said, "this club
is different because you learn a lot about how
a proper meeting hould go".
Most clubs at Bradford only meet during
the school year, but that isn't the case with
the Student Council. In an act of total dedication, they continued to meet throughout summer vacation in order to keep the club united
and to prepare themselve for registration
and of cour e, Homecoming.

Homecoming is one of the school' s mo t
anticipated social events of the year. For this
reason, the club met throughout the year to
plan the essential event.
According to sophomore Jessica Palermo,
"The dance was a total hit!"
The club al o added a Sadie Hawkins dance
into the mix last year, and although it had a
smaller turnout, it was still memorable.
"Sadie Hawkins was great becau ewe got to
wear cowboy attire rather than formal wear,"
enior Courtney Downey recalled.
The Blood Drive was yet another hit for the
Student Council this year with tons of tudent donating to ave the lives of others.
Contrary to popular belief, the needle is not
huge, it doe n't hurt, and the people are
super nice. Plus, isn't saving a life just the
best excuse for mis ing class time?
Overall, the Student Council had another
succes ful year of planning, promoting, and
providing fun events for the school as well as
the entire community. < By Amelia

... but

can you talk the

talk?
While each of the language clubs had their
own unique qualities, Spanish Club, French
Club, and German Club shared three very
important characteristics: community involvement, cultural stimulation, and undeniabl fun.
Each club tried to do a fun and culturally
timulating activity each month in order to
keep the club fresh and exciting.
Thi year the Spanish Club had a pizza
party, went on a Halloween outing, and took
a trip to Chicago. They also et up a competition between their clas es to see who could
raise the most money for needy families the
club supported during the Thanksgiving and
Christmas seasons. The winning class was
awarded a pizza party. The Spanish Club
used the collection to purchase food and
presents for the very thankful families.
"Shopping for underprivileged familie was
an amazing experience. It was definitely a
wake up call!" said senior Ally Serrano.
The French Club went Christmas shopping
in Chicago and had a ew Year breakfast
feast of French food. The club also found two

needy families to sponsor for the Chri tmas

"This experience was incredibly beneficial
to both the families and the students," said
enior Kathy Mosher.
Senior Juan Mora was especially pleased
with their accomplishments.
"Thi year had been awesome for me, and
a really great experience," said Mora.
The German Club learned German dancing and donated food to the Shalom Center
They also took a trip to the German Christmas Market and hosted the fourth annual
Gingerbread House Contest.
Most of the members seemed to enjoy the
German Day party most.
"The German Day party was my favorite
because we got a chance to learn German
customs and dances while eating German
food," aid sophomore ick Wiersum.
While the language clubs were not the
largest clubs around, the affect they had on
the school and on the community was definitely far from small. < By Amelia

"It's not just dancing; it's commitment,"
explains junior Laura Sauceda on being a
member of the Bradford Dance Company.
There is no doubt that the e talented performers, under the direction of Joyce Dohnel
and Sarah Christensen, know the meaning of
hard work.
In just their second year, the company put
forth a powerful effort to choreograph and
perform their own material. Throughout the
year, the company put on two performancesSpring Dance and Winter Dance-both of
which took an enormous amount of preparation and dedication.
Because the company has grown in both
strength and numbers, the amount of talent
di played has skyrocketed.
"When you get the performers together,
they just shine on stage. We have such a
talented group of people," said Dohnel.
Many hours of practice were put into the e
shows-before, after and even during school.
The dance company had to look to
other many aspiring and dedicated dancers

It started with a dream, it turned into a goal,

then became an unbelivable reality. Single
handedly, through determination and
persistance, the Bradford Marketing Association rai ed over 25,000 for the Muscular

donations, to carrying metal pails and begging cla smates for spare change, the BMA
members met and exceeded their original
goal of $15,000 before the year even ended.
" It is so great how the school came together
as one and helped out this amazing cause,"
said junior Jenny Werwie who was one of the
main coordinators for the money drive.
Other than teaching students to set goals,
the basic principal of BMA was to provide
students with an opportunity to demonstrate
their leader hip skills. In affiliaion with DECA,
a national organization, BMA allowed students to compete on several levels.
Competitions, which included intra-school,
UW Whitewater, district, state, and international, proved successful. The general competition was comprised of two written events

Foren ics and Quiz Bowl were popular clubs
among students of all walks, however, both
were considered to be more like teams than
clubs by the members. The club meetings
were actually practice and the big events of
the year were actually competitions.
During Forensic Club's meetings, the members worked and rehear ed their pieces.
Their pieces included reciting poems, acting
out skits, or giving speeches. The members
worked on their pieces during their meetings, a well a in their spare time in order to
achieve the best results in their competition .
According to senior Mike Hedden, "this
club required patience and hard work, but it
was all worth it once you got your first gold."
Apparently their hard work really paid off
last year becau e they placed very high at all
of their competitions. They di.d very well in
both the dis trict competition, which was
hosted by Bradford, and the Southeast Conference. Their work continued to pay off as
they won eight gold medals and seven silver

of knowledge. Individuals on the team are
given six multiple choice tests, each covering
a different subject. These subjects are: English, math, cience, music/ art, economics
and social studies. When everybody has finished taking the test, each individual test is
scored. The team core for a particular section is equal to the team member's score that
was highest for that particular section.
Though it is not a requirement, an ideal
team has three students from three different
grade point average ranges. There are three
tudents that have a 3.75-to-4.0 GPA, three
with a 3.75-to-3.0 GPA, and three with a GPA
of 3.0 or lower.
When the team members had a meeting, each
was given a new study guide for one of the
ix subjects. During these meetings, mem-

bers had student-directed group study e .
sion . After these group studie , th competitors were expected to study individually.
In ovember, the team competed in its fir t
competition: a local meet against variou
high schools from the region. Schools included Whitefish Bay, Horlick, and Case.
. The team lost that competition, which kept
it from advancing to the regional competition in Marquette. The team went to Culver's
after the meet--part of the Bradford academic
decathlon tradition. Students did not discus
their loss, but rather how well they thought
they did, since scores are not relea ed until a
week after the meet.
When they received the results from the
competition, they were somewhat disappointed.
"We won [the first meet] in the previous two
years, so losing this year was a disappointment," said junior Sean Murphy.
Overall, the team put forth a valiant effort.
Students said that they will definitely be
participating next year.< By ate Sheff

was the year they
allowed freshmen in. I
think that really
opened the door for
freshmen."

The Positive Bradford Steppers have had an
unique way of putting clapping and stomping into a rhythmatic performance. The very
dedicated Mr . Chatman has kept the e steppers performing for the past four years at
Bradford High School.
The Stepper not only step for the students
at Bradford a entertainment, they also step
at local colleges to recruit high chool kids
who are college bound. They visited five
elementary chools and three junior high
schools to mentor on being drug and alcohol
free. One of the biggest events of the year was
the "Freeing of the Slave ," a parade to celebrate the freeing of the slaves from slavery.
"We've really brought ome culture into
Bradford," Mrs. Chatman said.
The Steppers were meant for everyone, even
the guys. Race and gender was not an is ue.
It was a fun way to meet new people and get
recognition in school.
"The people that I really got to know are
like family now." stated junior Sonata Miles.

The tutor mission was to recruit fellow students who wished to attend college. Their
main goal was to help maintain or raise the
GPA's of the students they tutor, so they
could be prepared for college. The tutor ,

One of the experiences the Stepping Stones
were privledged to attend was an overnight
conference at the Grand Geneva Hotel. While
there, the students had an opportunity to talk
with representatives from several college
about planning their own educational futures. The group al o ran a food and clothing

response they recieved was enormous.

Cworks vigorously
to excel
On ovember 11th 2002, one hundred
and nine new members were inducted into
the ational Hon or Society for academic
excellence. It was the second year in
Bradford history that soph omores were
inducted.
The inductees were presented with the
traditional pin which was placed on the
person by a parent or friend. They were
also given a rose and greeted by all of the
officers with a firm handshake to welcome
them into the society.
The ceremony was run a little d ifferently
th an in past years. Bradford 's own string
quartet p rovided the inductees and their
families with an outstanding perform ance
before the ceremony began and once again
during the reception. The reception was

held in the commons, in tead of the u ual
cafeteria, and was beautifully decorated
with the ational Honor Society signature
colors: gold and blue.
There were a number of requirements that
the tudent had to meet in order to be
members. The firs t was to maintain a 3.5
grade point average on the 4.0 scale or a 4.8
grade point average on the weighted scale.
ot only did the students have to maintain
a high GPA, but they had to demonstrate
that they were active in their community
through extracurricular and scholastic
activities.
" It is a great organization and anyone
wh o has the chance defina tely should join,"
said enior Susan Dosemagen. < By Dana

elping the elders, tutoring little kids, and
eding the homeless; sounds like an after

adford students did as volunteers.
The Bradford Key Club was made up of
udents dedicated to helping others and makgour community a better place. Eachmemr chose activities that they were interested
doing either monthly or on a one time
sis.
Key Club is a great way of getting involved

uesday of every month, a few dedicated
ub members served food to the less fortute.
I like the soup kitchen becau e I love seeing
her people become happy when you are
lping them have a better day. When I
.ave, I know that I made a difference in

someone's life," said Elisabeth Montemurro;
a two year member.
Bingo at the Brookside ursing Home was
also a favorite activity of key dubbers. Once
a month, members helped the residents with
the game and then handed out prizes for
BI GO. After all the games were over, the
dubbers served doughnuts and juice.
"Brookside bingo is my favorite activity. It
is so much fun to go there once a month
because you really get to know the residents,"
aid two year member, sophomore Emily
Sorensen.
Every year the Key Club has the complete
control of setting up one of Bradford's biggest dances of the year; Sub-Deb. This year,
students were able to get discounted tickets
by bringing in five cans of food. Key Club
ended up raising two carloads of food which
was donated to the Shalom Center.
Throughout all of the hard work done by the
members, Bradford as a whole truly undertands the achievements that omeone can
conquer by volunteering. < By Dana Mattox

Who wouldn't want to spread the word
about the harmful effects of tobacco and how
the tol:idcco companies target youth? This
group of students did just that in about every
way po sible. The year tarted out with a
bang when the members conducted the FACT
Football Blitz at the Bradford vs. Tremper
game in the fall. The heavily populated game
was a prime spot for getting some in-yourface interaction with the public about tobacco. Later in the fall, members practiced
and performed skits while on the Tobacco
Truth Tour which visited several elementary
and middle schools.
"The Truth Tour was so great because you
could tell we were getting our message across
to the kids in a way that was entertaining,"
said sophomore Rebecca Zwiefelhofer.
Other than regular meetings, events took
place throughout the year such as the Just
Say o Rally, pizza parties, and even working on a movie trailer about how tobacco
affects your life. There's no doubt that this
determined group of students have made an

impact on the community.
Remember when S.A.D.D. stood for Students Against Drunk Driving? Well thanks
to Ms. Camerota that old acronym had a
brand new meaning. In it's premier year
S.A.D.D. stood for Students Against Destructive Decisions. The new organization consisted of a group of students who met to help
others out and assist in encouraging them to
make wiser decisions. They discu ed issue
from suicide to eating disorders and just
about everything inbetween.
To get the word out on making positive
decisions the group had a "contract" for
students to sign as they purchased their winter formal tickets. The contract stated that
the student pledged to be drug and alcohol
free on the night of the dance. For signing,
students got their name entered in a raffle for
some awesome prizes. During thier "Be a
Lifesaver" campaign, members passed out
Lifesaver candies with a message attached to
remind students not to drink and drive.

Praying, accountability, and fellowship were
the key factor of making Bible Club a success. The leader of the group was Bradford's
own eduacator Mr. Haywood. Haywood is
not only involved in education, but pastorial
work as well. It was a unanimous deci ion
among members that Haywood's experience
in pastorial work was the secret behind the
program ' succe s.
"I felt Bible Club portrayed it's needs and
desires to touch the lives of those who needed
to hear it," said junior athan Brown.
The meetings made a huge impact on each
others' life. They aided in building up it's
members' faith in order to stay strong
throughout the week.
"I was inspired by Mr. Haywood' analogies and teachings," said senior Perry Cooper.
Bible Club also held "See You at the Pole,"
which was in conjunction with similar
ceromonies throughout middle and high
schools in Kenosha. Even though the day it
was held on was raining, the spirits still stood

strong and Bible Club circled the flag pole!(
pray for our country.
"Even though it was raining, I still was litt
ing God up and praying for my cla smates.I
was a good way to preach and show to m1
friends the truth by standing in front of then
and in what I believe,"said senior Eri1
Cummings.
Gathering in the morning everyday befor
school in the commons, and making a differ
ence in classmates lives by praying for then
were daily activities for the club. This gan
people the inspiration to get up in the morn
ing and have peace and joy in their heart
without even knowing it.
"Prayer in the morning inspired me to tn
hard, and lifted the spirit of depression, mak
ing school exciting," said sophomore Adri
Cardona.

keeping a little light in our school, and mak
ing a difference in the lives that needed t

hard to get to the best they could be.
In jazz band, one of their biggest events of the
year was the exciting trip to Heritage Music
Festival in Atlanta, Georgia where the jazz
students played in the band festival. The
festival displayed some stiff competition
against many talented bands in the bands
throughout the states. The group excelled to
achieve the highest gold rankings, and left
Atlanta as the best overall ensemble performance of the entire festival.
In May, all of the jazz bands in the district
traveled to Tremper to play at the Breakfast
With the Bands event along with other jazz
band students through the district.
"Jazz was one of the more fun ensembles to
direct and teach. Students really enjoyed playing in jazz this year and I enjoyed teaching

MAKINGS
OF BEAUTIFUL~)
Orchestra came a long way in a short period of time. Both Concert and Symphonic
met every other day, and worked extremely
hard so that their concerts are ones to remember. Orchestra students had a chance to attend
different field trips, one being to go see the
Blue Man Group in downtown Chicago. Orchestra students also had the choice to go see
Blast, a fun musical group that performs a
wild and exciting show for their audience.
A select eight outstanding students; seniors Kelly Stengert, Jessica Sunier, and Erin
Gray, juniors Sarah Edminston, and Adrian
Hill, sophomores Sebastian Price and Andy
Thorson, and freshman Emily Krueger, performed in a small quartet a different occasions. Some of their performances took place
at different Kenosha Unified events, The National Honors Society induction, and many
other small receptions and luncheons.
"I always look forward to the new challenging pieces we are given before our concerts," said sophomore Adam Flores.

Every year the orchestra is challenged with
new arrangments of music..Although it takes
time, Mr. Schripsema pushes until the Orche tras sound wonderful, and believe us, they
do.
Everyone in Orchestra agreed that it was like
a family; new memories were made everyday.
"I am glad I am in Orchestra. It makes me feel
like I am working to my full potential, reaching
a new high, and teaching myself to play outstanding music," said junior Erica Knoedler.
Orchestra took a lot of responsibility and
di cipline. Having Mr. Schripsema a a conductor has helped many. He conducts well, and
his teaching skills are outstanding.
"I went from playing "Hot Cross Buns" in
fourth grade to twenty minute long symphonies in 12th grade. Orchestra has been a big part
of my life and I will miss the concerts and
competitions," aid senior, Kirn Palo.
The Orchestra had a great year and should
continue their ucce s in years to come. < By

Orchestra allows me to
be successful in to ways;
have great abilities to
work with people, and be

Bradford's bands are known for their
excellent ability to play and interpret music. With great direction from Alex Sabo
and Brad Feigles, these bands flourish above
most others in the nation. Traveling to
Atlanta, Georgia in the spring of 2003, they
took first place in all catagories. They have
also been known to put on excellent concerts, especially the winter concert that
dazzles the audience with radiant christmas
music. You also can't forget the annual
candy cane handout.
Symphonic band members also have
had the chance to see various shows such as
Blue Man Group, a nationally famous group
of men that put on a show based on improvisation, and "Blast," a word-famous percussion group.
"I just couldn't get enough of the Blue Man
Group," said sophomore Nick Adams
From a band member's perspective,
band is challenging and hard work.
"Band has given me great life skills, like
dedication and self discipline." said

Many students also go to the band room
during free periods or their lunch hours to
practice their instruments. For some, thi
may seem like too much, but for the students that put forth the effort, it is well
worth it.
"I bring my instrument home everyday
and practice for at least an hour" says ick
Adams. They truly enjoy playing their instruments, and great directors like Mr. Sabo
and Mr. Feigles make the experience all the
better with their positive attitude and dedication, to make the band the best it can be.
"Band has taught me to learn to work to
my highest potential, and work only to
achieve better every day," said sophomore
Casey Beers.
Overall, with joint effort, the band
program's accomplishments show how hard
work and practice really do pay off in the
end. Life gives back what you put into it.

Being on the top, always consists of a lot of
work. Bradford's Acapella and Concert Choirs
definit ly worked to succeed to the very best,
and didn't settle for any other.
Every other day the Acappella Choir would
meet with Mr. Mann, and Mrs. Stanfield. You
knew the students had talent, when the music
was handed to them, and the fir t day, it could
be sung wonderfully. So you can imagine
what it would sound like after months of hard
work and practice, in preperation for the festivals and concerts.
Acapella traveled this year with Tremper's
Choir to Colorado Springs, Colorado, to compete in The Festival of Gold, and once again
placed gold rankings. They had the great
honor to sing the national anthem at a Colorado Rockies professional baseball game. "It
was an exhilarating experience," said junior
Anthony Sturino. In the last ten years Bradford has placed in the top five positions in all
national competitions, most of which were
First and Second place. Only a school full of
spirit, love and talent could accompli h this.

Just one step below Acapella Choir come
Concert Choir, which is al o a large group of
very talented students. Concert choir traveled
this year to the Annual choir competition in
Chicago, Illinois. ot only did they do fun
activities such as seeing Blue Man Group, but
our Concert Choir compet d against many other
high school's Top choirs, but nonetheless, took
first place in all categorie .
These high rankings in our Acappella and
Concert choirs come from much hard work and
dedication. ot only from the directors but the
students too. Many of the students are self
motivated with choir and learn and perform
much work outside of school. Students are not
required to bring their mu ic home and learn it
but many, do indeed try learning their songs
outside of school. This shows the love for music
and dedication that these students and directors portray to make this chorale program the
bestitcanbe.<ByJohnScholz&Je sicaSwenson

Bradford's Treble and Men's choir earned
their place at Chicago' Heritage Fe ti val this
year. After a year of classes, strenuous rehearsals, and three concerts the choir travell d outh to the Windy City to compete in
the annual Heritage Festival. Concert Choir
joined the Men's and Treble Choir for the
trip. Led by the ever-enthusiastic Mr. Mann,
all three groups performed together, singing
their way through a outstanding performance,
the judges' praise, and not surprisingly a
gold rating. The choir's high rating didn't
surprise freshman Amanda DeLong.
"We worked hard all year and just kept
getting better every concert," said De Long.
The choirs' road to success began earlywith the first concert of the year scheduled
for December Mr. Mannhad no time to spare
for introductions. Choirs began learning their
new songs during the first week of school and
rehearsals for the performance continued
right up until December 4th, the day of the
concert. The Winter Concert was a great

show and the first concert for many of the
choirs' freshmen. But for freshman Janice
Venagas and Allison Dahl, it was Treble
Choir's second preformance at Choral Fe t
that proved the most nerve-racking and
rewarding.
" Choral Fe tival i alway a lot of fun,
but having such beautiful songs that we
worked hard to sing, can make you get a
little more tense." <Fre hmanJanice Venegas
The girls sang the solos for the spiritual
"Freedome Corne." The powerful song
proved that thi year's choirs were ready to
carry on Bradford's excellent tradition. The
performance earned the first standing ovation of the evening.
The choir year may have ended with the
Spring Concert, and the Men's Chorus performance of the moving "Let There Be Peace
On Earth." but for the underclassmen of
Bradford's Treble and Men's Choir, there
are still years of songs, rehearsals and wonderful performances to go. > By Jessica

On their second year back in action, the Red
Alert had gained even more momentum and
thereisnodoubtthatthey are back to stay. As
the school newpaper, the Red Alert had the
responsibility of keeping the staff, students,
and other avid readers up to date with many
issues. With a mix of many first and second
year staff members, the paper flourished with
experienced reporting, including some undercover work done by seniors Amanda
Stipek and Awais Kahleel.
"I wasn't expecting my undercover experience to go as well as it did. When students
don't know that you're actually interviewing
them, you get a whole different side to a
story. You don't really know a person until
you talk to them yourself," said senior Awais
Kahleel, who spoke with students frequently
found outside of Kwik Trip.
Taking the newspaper under her wing, Mrs.
Julie Arneson was handed a great deal of
responsibility. One year experience made
the job easier, and with some second year
students, the year seemed to run along

capturing

the year in
Through the many changes and challenges
of the year dedicated members of the yearbook
once again stuck by their production to see it
through to the end. Under their new advisor,
Mrs. Hoffman, staff members had to accept
many new changes from being in a new room,
to adjusting to the ways to work with a new
teacher. Even with everything changing around
them they couldn't loose momentum on their
timely production.
"A lot of people don't realize just how much
work it is to cover an entire year of school life
in one book, and do it to meet a deadline!" said
senior and editor-in-chief Kelly Stengert.
The staff was lucky to have experience on
their side through the bumpy year, with many
staff members who were well into their second
and third years on the staff. They also had
many different staff members with different
strengths and weaknesses. They were lucky to
have talented writers and computer people as
well as experience behind the cameras. Point
and case was the recruitment of senior Jaimee
Stephens who had never previously worked
on the production. Determined and talented,

Stephens jumped right in and was composing
and completing spreads like a seasoned pro.
There were some times when they got to take
a break from their journalism skills to work on
other projects like organizing and running the
annual Ms. Bradford pagent. Graphics editor,
senior Aaron Gundersen, designed the programs and business editor, senior Brianna Koski
choreographed the opening dance number that
all the participants performed and ran the show.
Another new change was the incorperation of
candy selling to add to the profit of the organization. While some complained, others like
junior April Stefani accomplished the task with
ease.
"At first I hated the thought of selling candy,
but the first night we got the box to sell, I took
mine to the bowling alley and sold the whole
thing that night," said Stefani.
Change and challenge couldn't deter some
members of this dedicated group. Working
well into the summer, some students faithfully
dedicated part of their vacation into seeing
thier production through to the end. < By

A New Year, A New Coach, Playoff Bound
The Bradford football team had
a tremendous year on the football field with a (5-4) record and
made it to the playoffs for the
fir t time in fifteen years. They
started off the sea on with a new
coach and had even bigger expectations. Michael Bartholomew
took the field as head coach. He
did an outstanding job while the
team's winning season proved it.
Everybody had high hope thi
year for success in the playoff
because of the outstanding talent
of returning players uch a wide
reciever Martin Villalobo , center Anthony Perrine, defen ive
back Mike Schroeder and quarterback Kyle Opahle.
The big cross town rival game,
Bradford vs. Tremper, wa probably on of the bigge t game of

Teamwork and Technique Pays Off
This was the trongest season
to date for a Bradford girls' golf
team. Last year the team had
only two overall scores below
210 while they, in the year of
2002, finished even rounds with
overall scor s below 210--certainly an outstanding leap of improvement. There i no que tion that they are moving forward a a team.
Th var ity team shot a 212 average going into the SEC tournament. The varsity team placed
sixth in conference play and fifth
in regionals. Amy Schellpfeffer
wa one of three individual
qualifier at regionals where she
shot a 101.
"I was on that day. I just felt a
certain rhthym and nothing
could stop it," recalled
Schellpfeffer.
The junior varsity team finished
the eason by placing fourth
again at the SEC tournament

junior varsity basketball coach
early in the school year, the
boy on both the varsity and
junior varsity teams knew the
upcoming 2002-2003 basketball
eason would be drastically
different than previou ones.
The boys dedicated the ea on
and all of their hard efforts to
the former coach, which emphasized their respect for this
dedicated and hard-working
coach, and, ultimately more
important, best friend.
"It came a a shock to all of u .
Every one of us was deeply
saddened. We will never forget
our coach, our friend, and our

leader," said senior guard

Upperclassmen Shine at Meet of Stars
In a sport where experience
counts, Bradford's upperclassmen
showed their audience how to win
races. The top ten scores for the
year were achieved by six senior ,
three juniors and one sophomore.
That experience helped later in
the
season
when
the
upperclassmen participated in the
sectional and tate meet .
The 2003 sectional was one to be
remembered. After a hard fought
performance in Verona, the boys'
team qualified nine runners--the
most in eight year .
"This meet was one of the better I
have ever been associated with,"
said assistant coach David
Manderfeld.
During the sectional, two relays
from Bradford ran after chool
records. The 400 relay recorded a
seventh-faste t chool time and the
800 relay et a new fifth place
school record.
"The boys ran phenomenally,"
said Coach Aslakson. "They came
through when they needed to."

The girls' track and field team

complain about thi season despite a loss at the state level.
Finishing top in its division,

it to finals, but all put forth a
valiant effort.
Dominique Prichett had the
fastest time on the girls' team.
She led the girls team to several
wins at home and made sure at
each meet the team was pumped.
Although Prichett will be leaving Bradford to go on to college
next year, she leaves behind her
a legacy of greatness, on and off
of the track--an inspiration for
future girls' track runners.
"It was such an awesome experience being able to go to
state," remarked Hannes when
asked about her accomplishments.
"I expect to see our team have
a stronger finish next year," said
Manderfeld when asked about
the team's performance next

We 're not going home
The Bradford boy's baseball
team was not as fortunate as it
was last year in the postseason.
With a nine wins and twelve
losses season record, the Devils'
performance was below their
average.
With yet another below average
season record, the Red Devils
faced Tremper for the first game
of the postseason as it did last
year. However, this season
Tremper took home the victory.
This of course was expected, a
Tremper's season record proved
tha t th ey were superior. A
comment from Tremper's head
coach summed up the Tremper
vic tory over Bradford: "It is the
superior team tha t should take
home the victory, not any of these
inferior teams."
The fans were behind the team
every step of the way. With key
seniors having left, it was difficult
to p ull the team together and to
function as a wh ole.
With the graduation of topranked catcher Adam Rodriguez

and pitching ace Jake Livingston,
the Red Devils had to find talent
in other rising varsity players.
