GRADES FIVE AND SIX Our original enrollment for the year 1937-38 totaled eleven boys and four girls. 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.
