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. I is i
