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]
