SENIOR CRASS HISTORY In September, 1934, nineteen energetic youths started their career as a class in Brady High School. We were not accepted as students previous to initiation. Though we found our subjects difficult some of our members found time for Glee Club and Basketball. Our first advisor, Miss Bonita Geis, left us early in the year and was followed by Mrs. Pearl Veseth. Class officers were Alf Larsen, president; Florence Kauk, vice-president; Clara Schlepp, secretary; and Ellen Nash, reporter. After a three months vacation fifteen members, determined to make them- selves felt in school life, returned as Sophomores. Our first activity was to initiate the Freshmen which we did blithely with little regard for their feelings. We had become accustomed to high school study and were now able to cope with abstract subject matter. Miss Lucille Nelson was chosen as advisor. Her assistants were Alf Larsen, president; Mary Johnson, vice-president; Florence Kauk, secretary; Anna Weikum, reporter, and Esther Lee, representative to the Student Council. What would otherwise have been a most happy year was marred by the death of a classmate, Mary Johnson. As Juniors we were more active in athletics, Glee Club and Band. Our class presented the play Where's Grandma and thus showed dramatic talent. The class sponsor was Miss Ella Stockton. The class officers were Esther Lee, president; Albert Blake, vice-president; Florence Kauk, secretary; and Ellen Nash, reporter. In December the death of another of our members, Homer Armstrong, came as a great shock to all of us. The Junior Prom presented an opportunity to display further ability. A trip was made to Teton Canyon to secure pine boughs to decorate the gym. The main feature of the decoration of the gym was the large dome covered with pine boughs which was hung in the center. From this dome crepe paper was strung to the sides of the gym. The sides were also decorated with pine boughs. Finally our last year in Brady Hi came and thirteen Seniors under the leadership of Mr. E. L. Anglemyer began the journey. Our officers were Albert Blake, president; Alf Larsen, vice-president; Florence Kauk, scretary; Hilda Trost, treasurer; Robert Ellingson, reporter; and Dale Armstrong, representative to student council. Esther Lee, president our Junior year, now resides in Chinook. As Seniors, we published the school paper. Florence Kauk was Editor-in- Ghief of the Spotlight and under her direction we were able to carry on the work the graduating class of last year had left. We again presented a three- act comedy called Boots and Her Buddies. The director of the play was Miss Mamie Darlington. Class rings, of natural gold and striped with black and white enamel, were bought to remind us of our four years of work in high school. After four years of study under the able direction of various teachers we have completed our high school education. Through our studies and associa- tion with other high school members we hope that we have learned enough of citizenship to fill our positions outside of school honorably and capably. 151 CRASS PROPHECY School days were o'er and life's real struggle took its cleave. Looking patiently into the west, one could see the open spaces of civilization before him. In that space or any space so easily distinguished, we Seniors of '38, saw our distinctive personalities woven round and round in one great universe —the school. But time marched on and we too had to break that tie. Fortune struck me when Uncle Reem telegraphed, asking that I go along with him. Is it possible that I, Florence, would tour the British Isles! I was in a daze. However, I availed myself of the opportunity. The day came and we were off. What a thrill!!! I was experiencing that previously unknown feeling of adventure. Six weeks passed and Uncle Reem had found me the most delightful school I was ever in contact with. Dramatics was my ambition and I enrolled. Each day new faces and experiences presented themselves until four years had passed. Finally the great day came and I stood with a group of graduating students. Tired of it all, I strolled slowly to the heart of London. Having had a hard day I went to my favorite cafe for a refreshment. Florence Kauk! exclaimed a voice. , Astonished I looked about. There in front of me was a familiar face of long ago. I gasped for breath. It was Dale Armstrongl Amazed at such an incident, we sat down to begin a long conversation. Dale remarked he was a missionary to India and had received a leave to visit in London. He was extremely happy. Dale a missionary! How different from school life! All was well and Dale was still the same old easy going soul of Brady Hi. I was anxious to hear of school days, so Dale went on: Alf, he said, is now a professor in Missoula. He is teaching courses in marital relations. Anna is the lucky lady of the class and is even so fortunate as to wear a pretty diamond. He made a quick glance at my fingers as if to say, Maybe I'm discussing your matters too. I merely smiled and told him to go on. Wayne Berland is broadcasting over KFBB as the great Baron Man- chausen. He is known the country over. And believe me, he's quite a Baron! Cora Mowbray is a stenographer and bookkeeper for Clark Gable. She draws a large salary and oh, how she likes it. Clayton Curtis owns practically half of Brady's farming district. He raises everything from sheep to silk worms. Quite prosperous indeed! Hilda Trost has retired and lives in luxury while her beauty shoppe does a thriving business. She is married and has a son. I'm told he has a contract with Hollywood next summer. Talk about a proud mother. 16] er ASS PROPHECY Albert Blake is still a butcher. Do you remember the Great Falls Meat Market? Woll, he bought that. Albert is little but mighty. Ellen Nash is a kindergarten teacher in Honolulu. She has been there tor several years and likes it. Once she wrote that her hair was gray. Isn't that ridiculous? Robert Ellingson is now coaching basketball. Previously he played with a New York team. Last but not least, I was told that Maxine was a marvelous fortune teller. She follows the State Fairs. Mr. Anglemyer and Mr. Seibert are both drawing teachers' pensions and finally living a life of ease. Miss Darlington and Miss Olson have now given up their teaching positions to young girls. Both are married. Truth is beauty; beauty, truth. Therefore happiness is all theirs. Mr. Royels is now proprietor of a Toupee Shop in California. He con- sidered himself first, as you may know. Night had fallen upon us and we were still sitting in the cafe when a harsh voice announced, Closing time. Hearing this we departed. Dale left the next day and I saw him no more. Illusions are rare but when I realized the breadth of my imagination I felt faint. Pulling myself together, I began to do the morning dishes. m IBlbASS WTToTo We, the class of '38, Brady High School, Brady, Montana, bequeath to the student body our school spirit. To the Juniors we leave our row of empty seats—physically if not mentally. To the Sophomores we bequeath our brilliancy. May they profit by it? To the Freshmen we will our behavior and our interpretation of English Literature. I, Albert Blake, will my art of chewing gum in typing class to Eugene Baquec. I, Orvest Ellingson, bequeath my quiet unassuming way to Bob Kincaid. I, Clayton Curtis, will my ability as an actor to Wayne Clinard. I, Ellen Nash, leave although not without hesitation my squeaking clarinet to Anna MacLean. My giggle I will to Martha Keller. I, Robert Ellingson, bequeath my popularity with Conrad girls to James Hill. After all Brady is O. K. I, Alf Larsen, will my ability as a mathematician to Louis Stinson. Louis, I sincerely hope you profit by it. I, Florence Kauk, bequeath my kindly nature and beaming smile to Rachel Jermunson. I, Dale Armstrong, will my sophisticated ways to Dean Gollehon. I, Wayne Berland, will my ability to pay attention in class—even in English Literature—to Fred Froebel. I, Hilda Trost, will my flirtatious ways to Florence Shideler. I, Cora Mowbray, bequeath my ability as a basketball player to Marthelin Kincaid. Hope you miss no more baskets than I did. I, Anne Weikum, will my bass drum and its turn, turn, turn to Betty Mowbray. I, Maxine Peterson, will my ability as an artist to Gladys Kauk. The Spotlight needs you, Gladys. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, The Senior Class of 1938, to this last will and testament, hereunto set their hands and seal this 20th day of May, A. D. 1938. Signed and declared the last will of the class of '38 by the Senior Class of '38, in the presence of all members. (Seal) THE CLASS OF 1938 BRADY HIGH SCHOOL Witnesses: Evelyn Phillips Mildred Hammer Eurma Thody ts I IPRESI DEM 6JT S s DDRESS Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends and Schoolmates: Last September my class honored me with the presidency. I have filled this office to the best of my ability and I wish now to thank my classmates for their loyal support and cooperation. In the last four years we have improved our minds and developed our bodies that we may meet the problems of life. We have now passed one important milestone in life, High School. When we, the class of '38, entered Brady High School there were nineteen, now there are thirteen. Some people say that's an unlucky number, but it is not so for me. That loss in membership depicts the way of life—that it is not at all times Bowery. That some will fail is a lesson that everyone must learn before we can advance far on life's journey. We have worked and played together since we were in the lower grades and because of this each knows the good points and the faults of the others. That is but part of our training. Recognizing the faults of others should assist us in correcting our own. Our parents have sent us to High School that our lives might be fuller and nobler. Teachers of the past four years have been congenial and helpful. When we were in difficulty they would advise us thus lightening our load, making school more pleasureable and teaching us many things that we could not get otherwise. In sports, as well as in studies, we were taught that defeat was but part of life's training. When we entered Brady High we expected upon graduation to find our goal directly before us, but now we realize that we are just beginning. We are living examples to under classmen. As we make mistakes, we hope that they are recognized and avoided. As we look back on the four years spent in High School, we recall many things that happened. Some were joyous and others most distressing. We thought them so real but we know now that they were not. On behalf of my classmates I bid farewell to Brady High School, and may the memory of this class linger in your minds as one that tried and we hope succeeded. [9] WHEN OUR SCHOOL DAYS ARE THROUGH Tun©: When My Dream Boat Comes Horn©. When our school days are through We will always think of them We will praise them and say that We wish we were back again. When school bells will ring, Their old memories will bring We'll be loyal forever Though our school days are through. We will always be true To our old Brady Hi, We will greet it and remember When memories flash by. All the Seniors will sing Of the tender thoughts you bring. We will trust you forever And we'll always be true. When we were Freshmen we thought Of the days that were to come When we would be Seniors And from High School we'd run Now we're Seniors, all through We wish we were back with you We will think of you forever Now our school days are through. rioi HIS rOR Y OF MADT SCHOOIdS In 1908 homesteaders began to file upon land in the vicinity of Brady. This continued thru the years of 1909-1910. Since many of the homesteaders brought with them their families, the question of educating the children became paramount. Thus it was that School District No. 19, Teton County, was organized with Messrs. E. L. Marriott, A. J. McNeely and Everett Ballard as the first Board of Trustees. Mr. George Benson was appointed clerk. In the spring of 1910 a session of school lasting some six weeks was held in a small frame building just east of the present Farmers’ State Bank structure. The building has since been moved and converted into a residence. It is now occupied by Mrs. S. R. Libby. Seats and desks of the double type were built by Mr. Frank Weeks, a carpenter who had recently come in as a homesteader. The blackboards were surfaced lumber appropriately painted. A table served as a teacher's desk. Pupils attending were Mrs. Christmas Marriott Stenhjem, Mrs. Bernice Marriott Carver, Mrs. Blanche Marriott Hill, Mrs. Lucy McNeely Kincaid, Mrs. Mary McNeely Kruger, Mrs. Genevieve Ballard Sharp, Gale Ballard, Judson London, Mrs. Emma London Joseph, and Charlotte Benson. Miss Jean Fluto taught this school. The first school house to be built by the trustees of District No. 19 was a one room structure located on the block of land occupied by the present building. Miss Mabel Hovey taught this school. Some twenty pupils were enrolled. Increases in the enrollment due to more settlers compelled the immediate construction of a larger school building so that late in the year of 1911 a contract was given to Mr. Valentine Pyat of Great Falls to erect a two room building. The dimensions were approximately 30 by 50 feet. It was constructed of wood. Mr. T. O. Larson of Choteau who owned the townsite of Brady gave the block of ground upon which the building was erected. In 1916 Mr. Edwin Melvin was employed as the school's first Principal. That year J. B. Humphrey also of Great Falls was given the contract to erect the brick building at present occupied by the grade school. In the basement were two hot air furnaces, a coal bin and two class rooms. On the first and second floors were two class rooms each with halls. What is now a cloak room on the upper floor was used as a library and office. To this building was attached the original wooden building. It was used as a gymnasium. Successive principals were Edwin Melvin 1916-17, Robert McCrum 1917-20, D. A. Elings 1920-23, N. S. Hollis 1923-24, H. P. Budewitz 1924-27, F. L. Peterson 1927-32, H. C. Olson 1932-37, and E. L. Anglemyer 1937-. In 1915 Brady High School was organized offering one year of study. Students attending were Mrs. Mary McNeely Kruger, Mrs. Blanche Marriott Hill, Iva Stuart, Ethel Stuart Gemar, and George Gleason. The next year the Sophomore course of study was added and in 1929 Brady graduated her first class including Paul Armstrong, Clifford Curtis, Mrs. [in HISTORY OF I T AR Y SOHOORS Hazel Berland Castle, Myrtle Bowman, Lyle Peniz, Bernal Leary, Angus Rose, Mrs. Mary Rose Steele and Mrs. Kathryn Ward Oien. Mr. John Vyse was the school's first janitor. P. A. Mowbray substituted for Mr. Vyse during his illness and then succeeded him serving one year. Hugh Rose was janitor the next school year serving seven months when he was succeeded by Lauren Brines who completed that year and three months of the next. Mr. Charles Gamer began work in December 1927 and has been with us since performing his duties faithfully and conscientiously. In 1928, the taxpayers voted a bond issue of $40,000 to erect an addition to house the high school and a gymnasium. The Board of Trustees at that time were Chairman C. O. Burdick, E. Oliver Ellingson and Chris Oien. Fred E. Dudley of Great Fails was given the contract. Bird and Van Teylingen were the architects. With the erection of the addition, the two hot air furnaces in the basement of the grade school were removed to the gymnasium and a steam heating plant installed in the basement of the new structure, heating the entire building. The addition provided four classrooms on the first floor with a large study hall and office-library on the second floor. The room vacated when the furnaces were moved became the science laboratory. The gym has a 34 by 69 foot playing floor with bleachers on either side. A stage and kitchen complete the first floor. Dressing rooms for athletic teams are in the basement. When building operations started, the wooden structure at the north end of the building which has served as a gymnasium was tom down. In 1935 the Seventh and Eighth Grades were departmentalized with Vernon Sletten and Ray Nims as teachers. The next year the Seventh and Eighth grades now known as the Junior High was incorporated with the High School in what was known as the 6-6 plan. During the summer of 1935, Woodworking, Mechanical Training and Home Economics were planned for—tables, cupboards, and cabinets built and equipment including an electric saw, lathe and electric stove were purchased. The High School staff included Superintendent H. C. Olson, C. T. Royels. T. A. Seibert and the Misses Lucile Nelson and Ella Stockton. In July 1937, E. L. Anglemyer succeeded Mr. Olson as Superintendent. Other changes in teaching personnel included the Misses Mamie Darlinton and Carol Olson. Chemistry, Algebra II and Trigonometry, replacing Biology and Plane Geometry, were taught for the first time in the school's history. Board members at the opening of the school year included Chairman E. L. Marriott, Lee Kauk, and Charles Armstrong. At the April election J. R. Hill was the successful candidate. Mr. Marriott then resigned and Mr. E. J. Otness was appointed. P. A. Mowbray was clerk of the Board. 1121 JUNIOR eioAss EUGENE BAOUET LORRAINE BiTZ FREDRICK FROEBEL DEAN GOLLEHON ORAN HOFLAND MARTHELIN KINCAID RUSSELL PETERSEN LENORE ROW LOUIE STINSON FLORENCE SHIDELER HELEN WEIKUM 113] SOPHOMORE CRASS IM1 LUCILE BURDICK HAL GOLLEHON IAMES HILL WILMA JOHNSON GLADYS KAUK MARTHA KELLER ROBERT KINCAID RUTH ROUNS MILDRED THOMPSON RUSSEL WICKSTROM VIOLA ZIMBLEMAN 1 RES I IMA It HELEN BLAKE WAYNE CLINARD POY GARNER RACHEL IERMUNSON GLADYS JOHNSON ANNIE MacLEAN JOHN MacLEAN ANITA MOWBRAv CLARENCE MUSICE ELECTA PEELER HENRY ROUNS HOWARD SCHLEPP IRENE STINSON MAURICE THORSON MADELINE WE3ST d UNIORq [16] HIGH MELVIN BITZ LAURA CURTfS JOHN CURTIS GEORGE ELLINGSON BETTY GOLLEHON DAVID GREER DOROTHEA HILL LOIS HILL VIOLA JOHNSON KENNETH MacLEAN MILDRED MacLEAN BETTY MOWBRAY TOMMY ROW LEONA SEIBERT ERNA WEIKUM RiCHARD WEIKUM ERMA WE 1ST ol UNIOR CRASS In 1935 sixteen students enrolled as Freshmen in Brady High. We were made conscious of membership the second week when we were initiated by the Sophomores. At first we felt very uncomfortable but gradually became accus- tomed to our new environment and cooperated with the other classes in carrying on school activities. Carter Jermunson was elected as our first president. In our Sophomore year we were sorry to have Gordon Hurley, Ralph Bishop, Albert Trost and Johnnie Kroker leave us. Thus our membership was decreased to twelve. Dean Gollehon was chosen president that year. During that year we participated in more activities. This brings us to our Junior year with eleven students, Carter Jermunson having entered the Navy, Dean was again elected president. Three boys played six-man football, a new sport in our school. Three girls and three boys took part in basketball. We were very happy to have a girl from our class, Helen Weikum, voted Carnival Queen. Our class play. The Blundering Herd, was given May 6. The annual prom was held April 22. As the Junior class we bid you good-bye and hope that we shall all be back as Seniors next year. SOPHOMORE CLASS Twelve Freshmen started their High School life one bright September morning in nineteen hundred thirty-six. We thought we were quite grown up until initiation time. A rather depressed feeling enveloped us when we saw the Juniors and Seniors enjoying our discomfiture. We took part in all school activities. Four girls were accepted for Glee Club. Three boys and three girls played basketball. Two of our class joined the band. We presented two assembly programs. The first one was a Thanksgiving play and the second was a Professor Quizz program with Russel Wikstrom as Professor Quizz. At the beginning of the Sophomore year we found we were minus one member, Johnnie MacLean. This year more students participated in school activities. Two boys played with the football team. Seven Sophomores are represented in the band. Two girls made the first team in basketball and one the second. Lucile Burdick was basketball manager. One boy made the regular five in basketball and two were on the reserve squad. This year our officers were President, James Hill; Vice-president, Wilma Johnson; Secretary, Lucile Burdick; Student Council Representative, Russel Wikstrom; Reporter, Bob Kincaid; and Sponsor, Mr. T. A. Seibert. We will now say adieu to you and next year shall greet you as Juniors. 117] FRESHMAN CRASS On the seventh day of September fourteen timid Freshmen were enrolled in the Brady High School. New members from other schools were Madeline Weist and Wayne Clinard. The next week we held our first class meeting and the following officers were elected: President, Howard Schlepp; Vice-president, Maurice Thorson; Secretary, Helen Blake; Student Council Representative, Gladys Johnson; Reporter, Anna MacLean; Sponsor, Miss Carol Olson. Just when we were beginning to feel very much at ease in High School, we received an invitation from the Sophomores to our Initiation, September 16. We all survived and gave a return party October 1 to the entire High School, Junior High and Faculty. Two Freshman boys took part in football, nine members played in the band, four girls sang in the Glee Club, and six girls and four boys went out for basketball. Thus the Freshman class is well represented in all of the school's activities. (JUNIOR IIIOIl SCHOOL Schood opened September seventh with sixteen members in the Junior High. In January David Greer entered from Ashtabula, Ohio. In October we held our first meeting and elected the following class officers: President, Richard Weikum; Vice-president, Betty Gollehon; Secretary, Leona Seibert; Reporter, Dorothea Hill; Student Council Representative, Mildred MacLean; Sponsor, Miss Mamie Darlinton. On November fifth we gave a masquerade party for the High School and Faculty. Seven of our members are in the band and the same number in Glee Club. The Junior High Boys defeated Dutton Junior High in basketball but lost twice to Conrad. The second game with Conrad went into an overtime. |18| ALJIMNI 1929 1934 Paul Armstrong Nellie Armstrong Hazel Berland Thurman Armstrong Myrtle Bowman Mildred Baquet Clifford Curtis Merritt Burdick Bernal Leary James Copenhaver Lyle Penix Thelma Copenhaver Angus Rose Lyle Dyer Mary Rose Vernon Ellingson Kathryn Ward 1930 Clara Kauk Clifford Mowbray Bernice Petersen Violet Bishop Charles Row Blanche Curtis Muriel Row Helen Froebel Leonard Schlepp Gudrun Johnson Orville Oien Opal Smart Ella Schlepp 1935 Eldon Garner 1931 Marion Lockhart Elizabeth Blake Isabel McClintock Leland Garner Mabel Mowbray Irma Kauk James Stinson William Stenhjem Charlotte Thompson Loretta Weikum Esther Weikum 1932 1936 Leona Bitz Earl Burdick Clara Alzheimer Leah Hill Eva Arnold Lloyd Hill Alice Berland Edwin Johnson Dorothy Blake Richard Kauk Tyler Boggs Esther Larsen Weltha Boggs Pearl Mowbray Lloyd Bowman Beverly Underdahl Melva Bowman Arthur Weikum Catherine Copenhaver Raymond Dyer Gilbert Zimbelman Louise Finnegan 1937 Fanny Garner Katherine Bitz Lorraine Lewis Glenna Burdick Leonard Peterson David Curtis Esther Schlepp 1933 Dorothy Dyer Joyce Garner Chester Heien Margaret Copenhaver Doris Heien Ethel Curtis Mildred Hill Genevieve Fait Annie McLean Mildred Fait Harold Monson Mark La Valley Dorothy Lockhart Leona Lockhart John McLean Karl Nash 1191 Frances Sanford Ut II I AMD SCJRODD October 25, 1937, Brady High School made application for membership in the Quill and Scroll, Inter- national Honorary Society for High School Journalists. Chapter membership is based upon four points: First, scholarship; Second, distinctive work in some phase of high school journalism during the current year; Third, he must be recommended for membership by the supervisor of journalistic work in his high school; Fourth, he must be approved as being worthy of membership by the society's national officer designated for that duty. A charter was granted and on January 5, nine Brady High School students were initiated into the society. They were Dale Armstrong, Albert Blake, Florence Kauk, Alf Laisen, Cora Mowbray, Ellen Nash, Maxine Petersen, Hilda Trost, and Anne Weikum. At the initiation ceremony held in the High School Assembly each member was presented with the Quill and Scroll pin. The Brady Chapter of Quill and Scroll has pledged as members next year Lorraine Bitz, Lucile Burdick, Fred Froebel, Dean Gollehon, James Hill, Wilma Johnson, Gladys Kauk, Martha Keller, Lenore Row, Florence Shideler, Louis Stinson, Helen Weikum, and Viola Zimbleman. The Glee Club this year attracted many high school students. After tryouts, eighteen girls were selected. This number was several more than last year. The group included Junior High, Freshman, Sophomore and Junior girls. There should b© few changes next year which will be an advantage since the ac- cumulated knowledge and experience of this year will provide a foundation upon which to build another year. The selection Little Bluebird of My Heart and Sundown, an arrangement of Londonderry Airs, were sung at the Musical Concert given in the gymnasium. At the Christmas program we wore our new white collars, which have become part of our costume. The selection which we sang at this program was While Shepherds Watched. We had a Candlelight Procession humming the tune Silent Night. The selections we have prepared for the Spring Music Program, Baccalaureate and Commencement, are: Come Unto Me ..................................................... Franz Schubert Leave It With Him ................................................. James G. Ellis Summer Winds Blow ...................................................Johann Strauss Forest Dance .......................... ....-....................... Leo Delibes In Luxembourg Gardens ......................-............................. Manning-Deis By the Bend of the River................................................ Edwards-Deis The Song We Sang.................. .............................A Viennese Melody We have accomplished a great deal this year through the earnest and conscientious effort of our director, Miss Eurma Thody. Miss Evelyn Phillips has been our accompanist. JfeANE) The Brady High School Band is now three years old. At the close of the last school term, Mr. Seibert organized a Beginners' Band. In September, some were taken into the regular band. That improved the band by increasing the instrumentation. After a few weeks of practice, more difficult selections were played. The band performed at football games, basketball games, plays and at the Christmas program. They also played at Power, Montana. The band plans to attend the Havre Music Festival, May 7th. The band was assigned a music room, where individuals and groups devoted time to special practice. This year one-half credit was offered to those who met the requirements. Four members of the band graduate this year but there will be replacements. We express our appreciation to the women of the community who made our new capes. And to next year's band we extend our best wishes. 120J BRADY SCHOOL BAND TOP ROW: Hal Gollehon, Irene Stinson, Henry Rouns, Lois Hill, Helen Blake, Lucile Burdick, Maurice Thorson, Viola Zimbleman, James Hill.

During the year, one boy and one girl were added to our number. We have attempted, in the sixth grade, to cover thoroughly the material set aside by the state for our grade, and to increase our skill in the fundamental subjects, in order that we may be as well pre- pared as possible for Junior High School work next year. In the fifth grade we did our best to master the work required in our grade, review the work of previous years, and obtain a fund of knowledge on all subjects from supplementary reading. Each child kept a record of library books read by him during the term. We found that over half the class had read from ten to thirty-two books this year. in connection with our history and geography, we have used social science textbooks in both grades. Correlating these subjects tends to give the child a better understanding of his place in society, and a knowledge of living together successfully should be the ultimate aim of all education. Spacial efforts were made to diagnose our weaknesses in spelling, and to eradicate them. We were success.ul to the extent that we had only one grade below a C in the last six weeks in this subject. Cur music course consisted of further study of the principles of music, musical instruments, and com- posers, as well as the singing of two- and three part-songs. Extra-curricular activities for the year included original dramatizations by the pupils on the various patriotic holidays, participation in the community Christmas program, two music programs given in the gymnasium, and the Pondera County Music Festival in Conrad. An especially enjoyable feature of our year's program was the formation of a fifth and sixth grace boys' basketball team. The girls were given an opportunity to practice with the Junior High School Girls. We feel that we have had a well-rounded year, with much earnest effort, fun and many accomplish- ments. THIRD AND FOURTH GRADES Believing that we need to increase our comprehension in reading, we have directed the greater part of our activity this year toward that end. In our individual subjects we followed the regular curriculum prescribed for our grades. We sup- plemented our textbooks with workbooks, booklets, maps and stories. We used our workbooks as judges and guides to help us determine our ability in interpreting what we had read, following directions, and as a check. We made booklets on transportation, Holland, and the log of a trip across the United States. We followed a definite library schedule, trying to read many books and discussing them with each other. Some new books were added and we felt that we had quite a wide' choice. Our curriculum was enlarged to include organized play at the gymnasium. In one of these periods we learned folk dancing and in the other we had organized games, exercises, and musical games. In art we tried many different things among which were freehand drawing, freehand cutting, pos- ters and hand work. We only hope that our year proves as profitable as we feel now that it has been. FIRST AND SECOND GRADES This year as last, the primary room includes Grades One and Two, and our enrollment totals eighteen. New pupils include Thomas Coughlin, Betty Armstrong, Neil Jermunson, June Nelson, Clara- belle Moser, Jackie Distad, Maebelle Joseph, Loyal Deardorf and Leroy Rouns of the first grade and Donald Anglemyer of the second. We have had many new and fine experiences together in our happy family. A great many of us have traveled with our parents to different states and during our recitation periods we often told of things we saw. At the beginning of the school term we collected as many kinds of leaves as we could and made a display of Montana leaves. We were surprised when we studied our collection to find there were so many different kinds of trees around Brady. When the cool weather came we began regular sessions at the gym for organized games and the learning of folk dances. These periods were continued in the spring and we looked forward to them even though the weather was nice outside. We made several interesting booklets, the most interesting being on clothing. This showed many of the different materials used in making our clothing. We made blackboard borders in keeping with the seasons and a number of window designs. During the last of the year in music we learned a band arrangement of a song so we could play it with our instruments. We had music appreciation once a week, using records that brought out the dif- ferent instruments. We hope this will help us appreciate good radio music more. We have had several very nice parties with lots of fun which has helped make it an interesting year. [231 FOOTMLL The first football team in the history of Brady High was organized in September, 1937. Practice sessions started late due to the absence of equip- ment. Finally equipment arrived and sawdust dummies were made. After two weeks of careful instruction by Mr. Seibert, our coach, the team tested their ability on the gridiron. Valier was our first opponent, defeating us 25 to 0. The next week Oilmont brought a well organized team to Brady and defeated us 43 to 0. After another week of practice we went to Valier and were encouraged by a touchdown but the game ended with Valier leading 47 to 6. Then came our chance to win a game when we went to Sunburst, another team that had no victories to their credit. We played hard the whole game but Sunburst was too much for us and defeated us 24 to 13. Just before the season ended the Brady alumni thought they would show the high school how to play football but the high school defeated them 18 to 0. The boys that came out for football this season were: Albert Blake, left end; Robert Ellingson, half back; Dale Armstrong, right end; Wayne Berland, full back; Clayton Curtis, full back; Dean Gollehon, half back; Hal Gollehon, quarter back; Howard Schlepp, quarter back; Maurice Thorson, right end; Bob Kincaid, left end; Louie Stinson, left end; Russel Peterson, center, and Russel Wikstrom, center. Of the thirteen named, Albert Blake, Robert Ellingson, Wayne Berland, Clayton Curtis and Dale Armstrong have played their final year. To Mr. Seibert who spent much time and effort in coaching us, we wish to express our sincere thanks and we hope he will have a better team in the years to come. LOTS’ MSKBTMLL The Brady Basketball team started practice November 15, and the first game was played November 30. Letter men from last year were Dean and Hal Gollehon, Alf Larsen, Albert Blake, and Dale Armstrong. C. T. Royels was our coach this year and though the season was disastrous we took fourth place in the district tournament at Browning. High point man this year was Dale Armstrong with a total of 231 points followed by Hal Gollehon with 131 points. Boys lost this year by graduation are Alf Larsen, Robert Ellingson, Albert Blake and Dale Armstrong. Date Place Brady Opponent Nov. 30. Dutton Brady 23 32 Dec. 4. Cut Bank Cut Bank 8 57 Dec. 11.

GIRLS’ SPORTS Thru the introduction of Physical Education, all girls of the Junior High, Freshman and Sophomore Classes participated regularly in a well rounded sports program. An outdoor tennis court was built just west of the Methodist Church. This together with the gymnasium afforded practice quarters. Soft ball was also played during the autumn months. In November basketball started. Many Junior and Senior girls then participated. Our season's record in basketball was: Brady 9 Dutton 18 Valier 20 Brady 19 Brady 20 Power 20 Dutton 30 Brady 19 Brady 33 Goldbugs (Gt. Falls) 9 Valier 19 Brady 37 Brady 24 Augusta 30 Y. W. C. A.

With the coming of spring, tennis, soft ball and horseshoes were begun. 1271 JUNIOR PROM The annual Junior Prom was held in the high school gymnasium on April 22, 1938. Crepe paper streamers of blue and gold covered the ceiling and the side- walls. Balloons of many colors floating in the air as the dancers moved adding to the spirit of the evening. At the south end of the hall the Seniors were honored with a lighted '38. A spotlight of changing colors played upon an unusually gay crowd of young dancers. Dance programs were circular carrying out the balloon idea. The Dance Demons of Great Falls furnished the music. The Grand March was led by Alf Larsen, Senior Class Vice-President, and his partner.
