Si vi iilIi ly, we lielieve in our colors, Orange ami White. We believe it is pmper for all individuals and groups of individuals to have their colors and hold I v display them. We believe they symbolize all a perfect life should be sit the beginning, and we shall make it our amhitiim lo force the world to believe in our colors also. VIII. Lastly, friends, we lielieve in oursidves. As an old saving, ’lf we don’t toot our horn, nobody else will.” We an beginning to know ourselves. This means we must have full knowledge of our weaknesses, and our capabilities and the preparation to develop them to tin fullest extent. Our parents and friends have failed to reali .c that wo have grown up, have formed onr life-long habits, and have learned to take responsihility upon our own shoulders. With this hearty belief in ourselves, we remain among yon, inspired and led on by our motto, sustained by our colors, and the certainty of success as long as we cor reef.ly apply the fundamental of life and offer the world only onr best efforts. This is our n eed, friends, not miirh of a creed, hut invaluable to us entering the forge of life. We thank our parents and friends for all the privileges they have made possilde for iis to enjoy; to onr teachers we speak the words of enduring grati- tude, to all that came to listen to ns, we humbly thank them for their attend- ance, attention, and appreciation of onr efforts to entertain.

C R E E I) As other nations, states ami classes have creeds, so have we, the elass of '211, of lirady High Seliool. We I relieve it is necessary and proper that we voire our freed, because ve believe in our future, our possibilities of surress, and ndvanceiuen t; nor do we fail to realize, in Tomorrow' brighter light, that we mav haven more romplete understanding. So we must voire our ladiefs while we believe in them. The principle upon which we have elected to stand are the fundamentals of life; so with these farts in mind, we think there is only a small possibility of our changing our belief. 1. We Iwdieve in lirsuh High and all the educational advantages she represents. We do not lielie.ve there is unite so good a school any'where else and the course of instruction as complete; nor do we believe that lower classmen will not In1 as loyal in the snine Indief as we have been. We will always look back on Heady High as the memory of our joyous youth and remain firmly fixed in our belief. 11. Believing so intensely in our school, we must also believe in our tench era. We believe in our teachers who have so faithfully labored and instructed us to tlie liest of their ability through hours of discouragement. We extend our thunks to our dear principal, .Mr. Peterson, for the ‘’confident advice he has tendered to each individual of the class. We believe all that lie has told us and will use it for our best advantages. 111. Outside of school we Isdiove in our good obi town of Brady. We believe in Brady because, we have expressed, no finer school and not unite so complete a course of instruction can he found in a town of this size, IV. We believe in our state, Montana, and we ph dge ourselves to uphold her institutions a.nd citizenship to the best of our ability. V. As we truly 1 relieve in our town and state, we Udicvc also in our nation. We believe in the National Flag, the Stars and Stripes of union and liberty. We believe in our national citizenship and national institutions and we duly pledge ourselves to the allegiance of our flag and the citizenship of our nation. VI. Sixthly, we lielieve in our elass motto, “Not Evening, hut Ihiwn.v As this hour passes and we look upon your more experienced countenances, we realize we have only been taught the principles and fundamentals of success. Our motto signifies onr preparation and we must now put the fundamentals of our prepa- ration into use.

CLASS GRUMBLER For several weeks spring has been here. The flowers mi» blooming. After going through the mill for the last four years, we Seniors should he in high spirits. At times it seemed as if the teachers tried their l est to take all the joy out of life hut we proved to them that the students of this Senior elass weren't as easy to lose interest as the students they have hitherto caused to remain in high school another year. Perhaps some of us hang our heads, and have to hold to the railing on the stairs because we are so nearly exhausted. Who, hut a senior, takes two or three hooks home and comes hack next morning with dark rings around his eyes? The only ones I ran think of are Mr. Peterson and Miss Blake. Mr. Peterson Idealise of trying to find work enough for us, and Miss Blake—well, it's hard to tell why. Now we are through with our tearhers, and they with us. 1 dare not try to guess which is the happiest. I think it is impossible for them to he any happier than we, because we have two things to be happy for—namely, we are through high school and through with them; they have only one they are through with us. When we were Freshmen and Sophomores, we thought high school was all sunshine, and we were like morning-glories just after they have opened. We thought school was a place to go and enjoy ourselves. When we were Juniors the days were a little cloudy, and we began to think ourselves like the morning- glory about eight o'clock. Now we are Seniors, and I am almost afraid to tell what we are like, because 1 am not the on 1 v Senior, and the other eight might tar and feather me. However, this is a free country where freedom of speech is allowed, so I would say that we, all nine, are like the morning-glory about noon, when the sun has been blistering hot all morning. Perhaps the greatest difficulty this year, outside of our regular studies, has l eeii in printing “The Spotlight. I do not think there was a single paper printed without an argument about some trivial thing, such as a misspelled word, (if course, if we looked it up in the dictionary t lie its would lie nothing to argue about. Mr. Peterson was very clever in helping us get started, but he was still more clever in letting us wade through without his help. Last fall Mr. Peterson said we would have to take what he gave us; he stated before tlie entire student body that we had to look out for ourselves, and that lie didn't want us here next year. At the time we thought he was joking, but we have found lie wasn't. All winter long, we had to lie careful what we said to our teachers so I am taking this opportunity to get even with them. Perhaps you have noticed 1 have not said anything about Mr. Hawley. The reason for this is that I am not as well acquainted with him, also lie did not make any remarks about wanting to get us out of school. Of course we know how glad he is, because we Seniors were unearthly difficult for him to teach. I don't think it is fair to grumble about the teachers and not say anything about my classmates because we have our ups and downs, too. Now 1 will take each in order and see what can he done. .Mary Lose is a terribly slow walker, but very sociable. I do not know if she walks slowly so she may chat with one ofUns Iwiys when we walk with her, or whether it is to keep us from walking with her, for it is terribly difficult to keep the same pace. Myrtel Bowman certainly likes to argue. He will argue over the most insig- nificant things, too. He usually has his way liecause he talks continually so that no one else can show him where he is wrong.
