Without the cooperation of the faculty, members of school and sponsors, this yearbook would not have been possible. We appreciate your help very much. With our best wishes for the future, we hope you will receive this annual in the spirit in which it is given and let the Spotlight be a reminiscence of the good old days in Brady High. Superintendent's Message The Spotlight seems especially appropriate as the name for the Brady yearbook since it focuses attention upon the activities of the school and its several student organizations. A yearbook more than any other school publi- cation, gives the picture of the whole year with every activity in somewhere near its rightful place. It is not to be expected that an annual catches all the intangibles about a school, but it does review most of the incidents and events that are at all describable. The school year, 1938-39, has been exceptionally effective and lively. May this yearbook do it justice. E. L. Anglemyer FRED FROEBEL Each time in life comes but once. So I say, make the most of it.

Though we had entered high school we were made to feel that full membership must await the thirteenth of September when the Sophomores initiated us. That year we elected Carter Jermunson, president; Lorraine Bitz, vice president; Helen Weikum, secretary; and Miss Ella Stockton, sponsor, as our class officers. After a three months' vacation we returned to school to resume our studies and to find that four of our members had dropped by the wayside. We who remained were determined to make the grade our Sophomore year. As Sophomores, we enjoyed greatly the Freshman initiation since we were in charge. That year the class officers were: president, Dean Gollehon; vice president, Carter Jermunson; secretary, Helen Weikum and sponsor, Mr. Royels. The summer months rolled by swiftly and we soon found ourselves back at school. Again we lost a classmate. At the first meeting of the year came the elections of officers. They were elected as follows: president, Dean Gollehon; vice president, Fred Froebel; secretary, Lenore Row; and sponsor, Mr. Royels. We were happy to have Helen Weikum, a Junior, selected as Queen of the Carnival. On May sixth, the Junior Class presented their play The Blundering Herd. Of course, it was a great success. It was directed by Miss Mamie Darlinton. On April 22 the Junior Prom was held with a large and joyous crowd attending. As the year ended we resolved to return in the fall to resume our studies os Seniors. With the opening of the year, Werner Gollehon joined our Senior Class. Welcome, Werner. Our class officers for the year were: president, Dean Gollehon; vice pres- ident, Helen Weikum; secretary, Lorraine Bitz; representative to student council, Lenore Row; reporter, Marthelin Kincaid, and E. L. Anglemyer, sponsor. Our class play for the year was It's Papa Who Pays, directed by Miss Helen Demarest. Class rings of yellow and white gold with the B in black enamel were purchased by the members. We have come but a portion of the way on life's journey yet what we have been taught by our teachers will help to make life happier and more interesting. We, the Seniors of '39, truly believe that the best time in our life was the years spent in school. I 7 i Senior Class Prophecy was in 1949 that our former professor, Mr. E. L. Anglemyer, dropped into a radio laboratory in Chicago, where he was then residing, since he had accepted a Professorship of Mathematics in the University of Chicago. Knowing the laboratory officials he was permitted to enter the workshop Whom should ho find there that day but Louie Stinson of the Class of '39. Brady High School. After an exchange of greetings, Louie proceeded to explain and demonstrate a television receiver that operated without the presence of a transmitter. Turning the dials and making necessary adjustments the broad plains of Montana came into view Who should appear betore our eyes but Russel Peterson seated comfortably in the control house operating his remote control tractor on a farm of some 5,000 acres. Again turning the dials but sliqhtly the city of Great Falls came into view, including her million- dcllar high school. Having heard that Lenore Row was teaching there. Louie proceeded to pick up one classroom after another, when suddenly we heard Lenore’s voice dictating copy to a class in Shorthand. Having heard that Florence Shideler was a surgical nurse In Seattle, Louie decided to try and locate her. This he did and busy. too. in an operating room where a most delicate bit of surgery was beina performed. Moving on to Alaska who should we pick up but Oran Hofland, a gunsmith in the little inland town of Alatna. Appearing well and contented, we leit him to pick up Helen Weikum. who now operates a beauty parlor in Los Angeles, and Dean GoUehon. the star of It s Papa Who Pays,' now a grease paint idol of Hollywood. Both appeared younger. Moving across the southern part of the United States, Louie picked up New Orleans. There we found Marthelin Kincaid designing rugs and tapestries for the Woolworth stores You will recall that Marthelin studied art in Brady High and then went to Montana State University Since time was passinq rapidly. Cuba was picked up and we heard the music ol a world famous dance band, the leader of whom was none other than our Fred, now called the Rumba King of Cuba. Dialing Now York we found Lorraine Bitz, private secretary to the president of Dunn Bradstreet Lorraine looked no older than when we knew her in Brady High. Hearing the clamor of a great crowd we stopped for a moment to view a football game between two New York professional teams Who should we recognize among those on the field but the Giants' coach, Mr. Gay Kravik , “?dlvng jravl£ in NevC York suggested another of Brady s former teachers, now on the editorial s.aff of the Saturday Evening Post. Soon she was found with a blue pencil in one hand and the floor of ner ottice covered with penciled copy. Miss Shaw appeared as contented as when engaged in a Satur day s wrestle with Senior English themes � Interested in aeronautics as Louie knew I was he brought in the Floyd Bennett landing field on Long Island just in time to find Eugene Baquet settling to the ground from a test hop of that new bomber that was being built in Brooklyn. The newspaper had recently carried the story that Eugene was to fly a four-motored transport plane across the ocean weekly for the Trans-Atlantic Airways. Having heard that Mr Royels was in England, Louie decided to try out the range of his instrument, woon the shoreland of the British Isles loomed up and then London. Thinking it would be interesting to look In upon the King and Oueen. the adjustment was made. Imagine our surprise to find there C T Royels, instructing in typewrtter operation. And with one more try for distance, India was picked up. Mahatma Gandhi being India's outstanding man, he tried to locate him. We found him in a barber chair being worked on by his private barber ncn© other than our former classmate, Werner Gollehon. Since there was barely time to reach a University class, the demonstration ended. SENIOR SONG Tune: I Must See Annie Tonight Oh, we're graduating tonight, Oh, we're graduating tonight, Our classmates smile as we go by. It makes us glad, but still we sigh, We've had our time and now its good-bye 'Cause we're graduating tonight. Our hearts are all a shine. Our heads full of knowledge. Our next stop is college, So let's not delay. But we won't forget Brady Hi, Wiih its English tests, oh my! You've helped us s art our way in life, Despite its toils and all its strifes. Our thanks to you for this wonderful night, 'Cause wo re graduating tonight. I 8 j Class Will We, the Senior Class of '39, having been here for the past four years, having gleaned much knowledge, and having spent many happy days in and around Brady High, do hereby bequeath to the school, the faculty, and the other classes all that which is left behind us, in the manner hereinafter set forth: FIRST: We leave to the school, memory of our smiles and grouches, while passing these happy school days. SECOND: We leave to the faculty our best wishes for their welfare and our sincere thanks and appreciation for guiding us through four years of high school. THIRD: We, as a class, leave to the Juniors that trait of snobbishness which Seniors so frequently develop. We also leave to the Juniors the seats on the west side of the assembly. If the desk tops are scratched, blame the many seniors who have held sway there. We bequeath to the Sophomores our persistent efforts in study and our attentiveness to class discussions. We bequeath to the Freshmen three more years of high before they follow us and may they appear next year not nearly so green as now. To the class that will be Freshmen next year we leave all the traits that a group of Freshmen normally have. May their four years of high be more profitable than ours. FOURTH: We, as individuals, leave that which we wish certain of our schoolmates to possess after our demise. Louie bequeaths to Maurice Thorson his inaccuracies in typing speed tests. Fred leaves his car to Hal Gollehon and his taking way with the girls to Clarence Mustoe. Russel leaves to Jack Curtis four years of high school and a penny so he won't always be broke. Lorraine leaves her ability as a typist to Helen Blake. May you profit by it, Helen. Lenore bequeathes to Mildred Thompson her height and to her we say, Don't ever grow up, Mildred. Helen, Oran, Fred and Eugene leave to whoever is fortunate enough to be ornery, talkative, and inattentive, the four seats in the front of the English room. Dean leaves his ability as a basketball player to Melvin Bitz. Marthelin leaves to Anita Mowbray her quietness during school hours We wonder if Marcy snores? Werner and Florence bequeath their good grades in Agriculture and Bookkeeping to whomsoever may need them in the future. And lastly, we bequeath to Charlie Garner a much easier job in the future, at least we won't clutter up the building and grounds. I 9 ] Junior Class History Twelve precocious freshmen entered Brady High School one bright morn- ing in September, 1936. Our first feeling was that of smallness because our assembly room was so large. However, we soon adjusted ourselves, aided by l the initiation conducted by the sophomores. Officers elected our first year were: president, Viola Zimbelman; vice- president, Wilma Johnson; secretary, Gladys Kauk; sponsor, T. A. Seibert. All returned as sophomores but before the year closed Johnnie MacLean had withdrawn. That year we elected James Hill, president; Wilma Johnson, vice-president; Lucile Burdick, secretary; Russell Wikstrom, student council representative; Bob Kincaid, reporter; and T. A. Seibert, sponsor. That year every student participated in one or more activities. This, our Junior Year, we lost another member, Wilma Johnson, who transferred to Conrad. Three boys participated in football, two girls and four boys played basketball, and five girls and three boys sang in the Glee Clubs. Seven Juniors played in the band and five girls were members of the Dramatics Club. Our officers this year are: president, James Hill; vice-president, Viola Z mbelman; secretary and treasurer, Gladys Kauk; and student council repre- sentative, Ruth Rouns; sponsor, C. T. Royels. Viola Zimbelman and Ruth Rouns were elected student council president and vice-president respectively. Our play, Oh! Susan, was presented the evening of November 18th, with each member of the class participating. Following the production the Jazz Vendors furnished music for our dance. Junior Prom, an annual social event in our school, was held Friday, April 14th. A May Pole furnished the center of decorations. l io i Lucile Burdick lames Hill Martha Keller Ruth Rouns Russell Wikstrom Hal Gollehon Gladys Kauk Robert Kincaid Mildred Thompson Viola Zimbelman JUNIORS Sophomores Helen Blake Roy Garner Rachel lemunson Anna MacLean Johnnie MacLean Anita Mowbray Clarence Mustoe Electa Peeler Henry Rouns Howard Schlepp Irene Stinson Maurice Thorson Freshmen Melvin Bitz Jack Curtis Betty Gollehon Dorothea Hill Kenneth MacLean Richard Weikum Sophomore Class History One bright September morning in nineteen hundred thirty-seven, fifteen green Freshmen enrolled in Brady High School. Though high school was strange, all went smoothly until September 16th when the class received and accepted an invitation to Initiation. Two weeks later we gave the Sophomores a Return Party. Class officers our first year were: president, Howard Schlepp; vice presi- dent, Maurice Thorson; secretary, Helen Blake; student council representative, Gladys Johnson; reporter, Anna MacLean; sponsor, Miss Carol Olson. With the opening of school our Sophomore year, three of last year's mem- bers were missing: Gladys Johnson, transfer to Conrad; Wayne Clinard, transfer to Great Falls; and Madeline Wiest at her home near Agawam. The only change in officers over those the preceding year was Electa Peeler, who replaced Gladys Johnson as student council representative. Gay Kravik was elected as sponsor. Three girls and three boys took part in Glee Club, six girls and four boys in basketball. Three boys played football and eight were active in the band. Though we have found Sophomore work difficult, we are looking forward to next year when we shall return as Juniors. Freshman Class History On September 6, 1938, six Freshmen entered Brady High School. We regret the transfer of Viola Johnson to Conrad but trust that she will enjoy her new home. The next week we held our first class meeting and elected the following officers: president, Melvin Bitz; vice-president, Dorothea Hill; secretary, Ken- neth MacLean; student council representative, Betty Gollehon; reporter, Richard Weikum; and sponsor, Miss Pansie Shaw. The seventeenth of September we were invited by the Sophomore to initiation ceremonies in our honor. The INITIATION was not too bad. We gave a party for the high school and faculty in October. All enjoyed themselves. February 24th brought bereavement to all of us in the accidental death of our classmate and friend, Kenneth MacLean. Our sympathy goes out to Mildred, Anna, Johnnie and his parents. I 13 | Senior Class Poem ONE'S BEST EFFORT IS NOT ALWAYS GOOD Tell me not, my Senior teachers That our high school days are done. Do you promise, please, don't keep us 'Til the class of '41. Four years of patient waiting, And the time has come at last; But by the grades, I'm thinking There's a few that may not pass. If we pass, will pleasure fill us, Will it cause great happiness; Or will we sorrow that we're leaving, We, sir, the Senior Class? Tell me not of worldly riches, They are won by life long strife. Just give each one his pleasures, And his share of work in life.

Junior High School History On September 17, 1938, eighteen boys and girls assembled in Room 11 as the Junior High School with Ernest L. Lunden, instructor. Mildred and Freddie Bank a and Eugene Styren are new members, trans- ferring from the Strauss School. The Junior High boys' basketball team played Conrad and Valier during the season. Both girls and boys participated in Glee Club this year, the girls being members of the high school club directed by Miss Margaret Berg and the boys made up a Junior Club with Mr. Lunden as director. Ten were mem- bers of the school band. Officers elected at the beginning of the school year were Robert Kauk, president; Edeline Larsen, secretary-treasurer; Mildred MacLean, reporter; Thomas Row, student council representative, and Ernest L. Lunden, sponsor. In early December, the Junior High was moved to Room 8, providing larger quarters for the Home Economics girls. February 14 we entertained the High School and faculty at a Backwards Party in the gymnasium. Grade School History The first six grades of the Brady Public School have a total enrollment of fifty-four, with twenty-one in the first and second grades; twenty-one in the third and fourth grades; and twelve in the fifth and sixth grades. In the individual subjects they have attempted to cover the material pre- scribed for each grade. The required textbooks were supplemented with work- books, maps, and booklets. Much was done to improve and acquire skills in the fundamentals. In the social sciences and in play an attempt was made to give the children a knowledge of other peoples and places and an under- standing of how best to work and play in society. Many new books have been added to the libraries. The stories are varied and of interest to all. These books are read outside of the classroom and each child is encouraged to read as much as his ability will allow. Hand work has been the basis of much of the art work done this year. Free hand drawing, painting, and cutting have also been stressed. Among the art activities were Christmas gifts, Christmas cards, posters, kites, silhouettes, and blackboard drawing. The music course has consisted of folk dances, ryhthm bands, and one-part and two-part singing. Some of the grades took part in the music program held at the gymnasium and some in the Music Festival which is held in Conrad each spring. The fifth and sixth grade boys and girls enjoyed basketball practice this winter. Three of the boys were also in the band. It is felt that the well-rounded curriculum of the year has proved both profitable and enjoyable. [ 17 ] Glee Club and Chorus Girls' Glee Club was this year supplemented by a Boys' organization and a Mixed Chorus. Miss Margaret Berg directed the Girls' Glee Club which consisted of twenty-two voices selected from the Junior and Senior High School. The organ- ization contributed to several programs during the school year as well as singing at the annual commencement of Seniors. Viola Zimbelman was accompanist. A Boys Glee Club directed by Ernest L. Lunden was an innovation this year that readily earned the approval of its listeners. Twelve boys made up the organization. The Mixed Chorus of thirty voices, also directed by Mr. Lunden, furnished sacred music at the Christmas Program, Baccalaureate Services and other occasions.

Miss Ella Stockton was the first director. A total of seventeen members participated that year. They made their first public appearance at the Senior Play, December 5th. Three additional performances were given during the year. The band of 1936-37 was slightly larger than that of the preceding year. A sousaphone was purchased by the school which aided the bass section very materially. They played at basketball games, class plays, and various other entertainments Miss Stockton was again the director. During the summer of 1937, T. A. Seibert, director, organized a Beginners' Band. Many of them were later taken into the regular band. Mothers of band members and others co-operated in making capes of black serge with an orange satin lining. These with orange and black overseas caps, black shirts, orange ties and white trousers or skirts completed our outfits. The band at- tended the Havre Music Festival in May. This year's band numbering thirty-three has been directed by Ernest L. Lunden. Our instrumentation is well balanced. Appearances were made at football and basketball games, class plays and programs. A band concert, the proceeds of which were used to finance the Havre trip, was given April 28th. The band with their drum major, Lenore Row, made the annual trip to Havre, May 13th. Dramatics Club History A Dramatics Club, the first in Brady High School, was organized in December with Miss Helen Demarest as director. The officers of the organization are: Ruth Rouns, president, and Anna MacLean, secretary. Meetings were held approximately every two weeks. The entertainment committee gave reports on different phases of dramatics. On February 13 a Kids' Party was held in the Home Economics room. A scrap book to include poems, readings, and plays was assembled by each member of the club. A miscellaneous program sponsored by the Dramatics Club was given in tho gymnasium on May 5th. ( 21 ] AS IT HAPPENED ACCORDING TO THE HIGH SCHOOL CALENDAR 1938-1939 SEPTEMBER 5 And when the sun had set on this Labor Day, the faculty had met and formulated a program which made the students wonder. 6 And it came to pass on this morning, forty high school students came unto the public school to register and some were sore afraid they were the Freshmen. 16 At the eighth hour after midday a group of laughing students gathered together ai the gym to witness Freshman discomfiture. 22 And it came to pass that the six-man football team set out on their first journey ending at Choteau where an exciting combat followed. OCTOBER 13 On the evening of this day, Brown and Meneley did make glad the hearts of a multitude of people by a musical program held in the gym. 23 Lo! Even upon the morning of this very day, the Home Ec. girls prepared some food and invited their mothers to partake thereof. 28 29 And our teachers did betake themselves to Great Falls to attend the M. E. A. meeting which lasted these two days. NOVEMBER 4 And on this night Brady High did hold a Carnival midst much clamoring and jollity at the gym. 10 Whereupon it came to pass that on this night an Assembly Snakes Alive, was held and those who were brave enough to venture forth into the cold were privileged to hold snakes alive. 18 And on the evening of this day again, did we part with our shekels and go to the Junior Play, yea even to Oh, Susan. 24 25 It was on these days that woe filled the hearts of many a turkey for Thanksgiving vacation had come. DECEMBER 12 Howbeit, on this night our funny bones were lavishly tickled by the Dutch humorist, Roland Van Cavel. 28-Jan. 2 And during these days a great rest of mind was given to all for it was proclaimed Christmas vacation. 12-13 It was at this time that the students endeavored to reveal their knowl- edge through semester exams, and the truth was evident unto many. 17 Lo! The night of the supreme combat approached with a multitude crowding the gym to witness the Conrad Cowboys defeat the Brady Bulldogs. 27-28 Inasmuch as the end of basketball season was drawing nigh, the Bulldogs gathered at Sunburst for the Small School Tournament. I 22 i FEBRUARY 6 Many were the sinners who shivered and shook in their chairs during the Assembly Spooks and Frauds. 7 A vast gathering of tense and excited students witnessed the defeat of the Brady Bulldogs by the Cowboys at Conrad. 14 In the midst of tight, ill-fitting, backward clothing, the high school and faculty gathered at the gym on the evening of this, St. Valentine's Day, to attend the Junior High Backward party. 19 Another vast gathering of students and townspeople convened at the gym to hear the Sunday concert. 22-25 Verily, verily, I say unto you that during these days the Boys' District Tournament was held at Shelby. MARCH 3-4 Amidst clamor and laughter, the girls attended the Invitational Basket- 17 ball Tournament at Augusta. And on this very night, the Juniors, realizing the weariness of certain worthy Seniors, did entertain with games and a dance at a St. Patrick's Party. And lo! A large number of students and townspeople gathered together at the gym to be entertained by the Seniors in It's Papa Who Pays. APRIL Howbeit, the Juniors did give their annual Prom on this night. 19 Amidst the sweet refrains of Native Swiss Singers did the townspeople gather to hear another Assembly program. 28 Inasmuch as the musically inclined students in the Band were to give us a concert, we did part with a small sum to help finance their trip to Havre. MAY 2 Upon the evening of this day all the menfolk in the town were greatly 5 interested in the Assembly, Jiu Jitsu. Amidst great clamor and squeaking of saxophones and trombones the B Club Dance was staged to raise a bit of medium of exchange. 14 It came to pass that on this day was held the Baccalaureate Service for graduating Seniors. 16-17 On these days did the teachers deem it fitting and proper to give 18 final examinations and many of our members were sore afraid. Verily, verily, I say unto you that upon this very day a multitude gath- ered to witness the Seniors receive their diplomas at the Commencement Exercises in the gym. 19 And lo! Another school year is complete. May this yearbook be a memorandum thereof. I 23 i Agriculture Agriculture was added to the curriculum at Brady this year and proved to be a popular course. The enrollment was limited to the Junior and the Senior boys because facilities for teaching a larger group were inadequate. Several very interesting field trips were taken during the fall but due to a lack of funds the trips had to be discontinued. This meant changing from a vocational to an academic type of teaching. The course was made as practical as possible in the classroom and a brief study made of all agricultural subjects with particular emphasis on animal husbandry, poultry, and soil and water conservation. The future of agriculture in Brady High School is uncertain though in an agricultural community it should be made a permanent part of the curriculum. The class was taught by Gay Kravik, graduate of Montana State College, Bozeman. Dean, Hal, and Werner Gollehon, Russell Wikstrom, Russel Peterson, Bob Kincaid, Roy Garner, Eugene Baquet, John MacLean, and James Hill made up the class enrollment. ATHLETICS Football With the equipment on hand the Bulldogs started their 1938 football practice September the 6th. After three weeks of training and drill in funda- mentals, Coach Gay Kravik took the team to Choteau. The Teton County boys defeated us 12 to 23. The next week Valier brought their powerful Panthers to Brady for the opening game of the home season. They defeated us 26 to 0. October 8th we ran up 8 points against the Class B Six-man Football Champions, the Oilmont Oilers, though they defeated us 50 to 8. Next came our second chance at Valier. We went there with some con- fidence but we were again set back 32 to 0. On October 22 we met the Oilers in the final home game. This time they trounced us 40 to 0. While Brady lost all their games this year, competition was believed on comparative scores to be keener than that in other districts. Enthusiasm, interest and willingness char- acterized the play of every member on the squad. Three members of the football team are lost by graduation, Dean Golle- hon, Louie Stinson and Russel Peterson. Lettermen returning are: Melvin Bitz, Jack Curtis, Hal Gollehon, Robert Kincaid, Johnnie MacLean, Kenneth MacLean, Howard Schlepp, Maurice Thor- son, Richard Weikum and Russell Wikstrom. We wish to thank Mr. Kravik for the time spent in coaching us for we be- lieve that another year will result in victories. B Club The B Club, a new organization in our High School, met and elected officers February 16th. Membership in the organization is limited to boys who have earned their letter in athletics. Officers elected were: President, Dean Gol- lehon; secretary-treasurer, Hal Gollehon; Gay Kravik, sponsor. The purpose of the organization is to render any service of value to the betterment of athletics in the high school and by exemplary behavior at all social functions of the school be a pattern for other youth of our school. ■V it f, a Russell Wikstrom Melvin Bitz lack Curtis Maurice Thorson Richard Weikum Dean Gollehon Johnnie MacLean Kenneth MacLean Russel Petereon Hal Gollehon Howard Schlepp Bob Kincaid Football B” Club Jack Curtis Roy Gamer Dean Gollehon Hal Gollehon James Hill Robert Kincaid Johnnie MacLean Russel Peterson Howard Schlepp Louie Stinson Maurice Thorson Richard Weikum Russell Wikstrom Boys' Basketball First row: Kenneth MacLean, Richard Weikum, Maurice Thorson, Robert Kincaid, Howard Schlepp, and Melvin Bitz.

November 20th, thirteen boys responded to the call of Coach Gay Kravik and received equipment. After a conditioning period of two weeks, the season opened with a game at Chester followed by one or more games weekly. That every boy on the squad might have the opportunity for inter-school participation, games were scheduled with Conrad, Sweet Grass and Valier for the Freshmen or B squad. Other events of interest were the Small Schools' Tournament at Sunburst and tho District Tournament at Shelby. Those who received letters were Howard Schlepp, Roy Garner, Johnnie MacLean, Richard Weikum, James Hill, Maurice Thorson, Hal Gollehon, and Dean Gollehon. Melvin Bitz received a numeral this year. Dean Gollehon and Louie Stinson will be lost to next year's squad through graduation.
