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 Class History On a bright and sunny day in September of '35, the doors of Brady High School were opened wide to admit sixteen bright and smiling Freshmen. 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

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 ]
