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.

Band The Brady School Band was organized in the fall of 1935. 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.
