Viola Zimbelman joined us when we were in the second grade. She trans- ferred from Lodi, California. Lucile Burdick entered the next year from Rock Coulee. When we were sixth graders, Hal Gollehon enrolled from Midway. Martha Keller of Collins registered when a freshman. Oran Hofland be- came a member of our class this year. Like other Freshmen classes, we were invited to an initiation which proved less painful than had been predicted. That year each class was to present a program. We selected a two-act play, A Light Dessert for Thanksgiving. As Sophomores we gave a party for the Freshmen (their initiation). In the spring we presented a one-act play entitled Business a la Mode. This was presented before the student body and faculty. In the fall of 1938 the Junior Class began planning for our play, Oh! Susan, which was given November 14. It proved to be a huge success. That spring we were busy making and executing plans for the big event of the year, the Junior Prom. The decorations were crepe paper in pastel shades hung from a May pole placed centrally in the gym and fastened at the sides in curtain effect. As dignified Seniors we commenced work on our Annual almost as soon as school opened. With the close of the basketball season, rehearsal of the Senior play, Aunt Susie Shoots the Works, started. It was presented March 29 with a dance following. Music was furnished by the Rhythm Benders of Conrad. As our school life draws to a close we look forward with regret to leaving Brady School, where we spent so many happy days as a class. And so, Brady Scjiool, farewell. 5 Seniors: The spotlight is upon you. It is the wish of every member that he or she reach success. Each of you has an ambition, an urge. Whether you achieve—lies largely with you. This is another Commencement. Will you make of yourself the following? Lucile Burdick, a statistician with Dun S Bradstreet. You remember her as the girl who figured in Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry. Hal Gollehon, New York University football coach. Recall the 45-yard pass that he caught to break the football tie with Valier way back in '39. James Hill, teller in the Bank of England, London. Do you remember him as the class president in his Sophomore, Junior and Senior years? Oran Hofland, postmaster of the new office recently opened at North Pole, Alaska. Were you at school the morning that Oran arrived at 7:45? What could have been the reason? Gladys Kauk, pianist with Kay Kyser's Lucky Strike Orchestra. Gladys started as pianist with Fred's Ambassadors, later known as the Night Owls. Martha Keller, secretary to Mayor LaGuardia, New York City. Remember her as the slim girl who headed the Senior row. Robert Kincaid, naval aeronautics instructor at Pensacola. He studied mathematics and science in Brady High. Ruth Rouns, English instructor, Northern Montana College. Ruth sub- stituted occasionally during high school days in the absence of regular teachers. Mildred Thompson, saxophone soloist with Paul Whiteman's Orchestra. Her playing has about convinced music lovers that the sax might be a musical instrument after all. Russell Wikstrom, center of the professional New York Giants' football team. An opportunity to match muscle and wits with the best in the land. Viola Zimbelman, foreign correspondent to the New York Times at Rome, Italy. She edited the school paper and Year Book in '40. To you all, success. You have built magnificent castles in the air. High school days suggested those castles and you must make them a reality. You will meet with obstacles and disappointments but you must live up to your dreams. Do not forsake them too easily for you are at my mercy and to few am I lenient. Your dearest and most valuable friend, Your harshest and most unforgivable enemy, I leave you to your ---------------------- 6 FATE. CL„ IV; The Seniors, Class of '40, Brady High School, Pondera County, State of Montana, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be their last will and testament, thereby revoking all former wills and codicils by us at any time heretofore made. To our adviser, E. L. Anglemyer, we leave the joy and responsibility of supervising many more Senior Classes. We hope they benefit from his wise and tactful suggestions as we have. The typists of our class leave their manuscripts with Mr. Andreasen as an incentivo to other less ambitious classes. It is suggested that their use might make possible more free time. The English students bequeath to Miss Eleanor Miller any excess of literary knowledge found about the building with the hope that it might be shared with those in need. The football and basketball boys will to Coach Mayo their aptness, their enthusiasm and fight with the wish that our less experienced team mates make use of it. To Charlie Garner we bequeath less work and more pleasure. We know in our absence he will miss us. To the school we leave our desks in Senior row—they can't be taken with us. Mildred Thompson wills her saxophone technique to Edeline Larsen and her stature to whomever can use the added height. Robert Kincaid bestows upon Mildred MacLean his sunny disposition. His way with redheads he leaves to Richard Weikum. Russell Wikstrom bequeaths to Lois Hill his blond hair and to John Curtis his love of mechanical PLAY. Gladys Kauk wills to Erma Wiest her ability to jitterbug and to Betty Mowbray her technique in pounding the ivories. Hal Gollehon wills his ability as a basketball player to John Woodward and his Conrad girl to Tommy Row. Ruth Rouns bequeaths her soft voice to Cecille Gullickson and her quiet, patient demeanor to Anita Mowbray. Oran Hofland wills his ability to ketch-um to Richard Weikum. His alert- ness and punctuality he leaves to Harold Decker. Viola Zimbelman leaves the editorship of the Spotlight to Rachel Jer- munson and her future awards in typing to Maurice Thorson. James Hill hands the gavel of the Senior Class to Roy Garner. May he wield it prudently! Martha Keller wills her amiable disposition to Irene Stinson and her shorthand accomplishments to Helen Blake. Lucile Burdick bequeaths her ready responses to teachers' questions to Henry Rouns and her library interests to Melvin Bitz. We sincerely trust that our beneficiaries profit from these gifts. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hand and seal this 17th day of May, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty. In presence of: (Signed) CLASS OF '40. E. L.

The work in each grade has been based on the Course of Study and basal textbooks. Art, music and dramatics have had an important place in each room. Plays based on stories and historical events were written and presented in the Intermediate grades. Holidays have been observed by the presenta- tion of Washington, Lincoln, Armistice, Easter and Christmas pro- grams. Come Ye to Bethlehem, a pageant cantata, was presented by the grades, assisted by the Glee Clubs. Nadita, an original Mexican operetta, was presented by the grades, the funds to be used for playground equipment. To develop more knowledge and interest in America, a Travel Bureau with the motto See America First was organized as a social studies project in the Upper Intermediate grades. In the material gathered by the pupils, 48 states and 7 countries were represented. Art has been based on freehand drawing, cutting and painting. A Santa Claus castle, medieval castle and knight, wigwams, paper mache bowls, wood- work, woodburning, weaving, cork, cotton, yard and button dolls; historical and health projects and the sewing club are some results of the art activities. Many new library books have been enjoyed by the children. Reading clubs have been formed to encourage reading. The well rounded curriculum of the year has proved very profitable and most enjoyable. 15 The Boys' Glee Club has been singing four-part music again this year, which is a bit difficult for so few voices. As yet we have not made a public appearance, but as the boys say, We sing because we like to sing and not because we want to perform on any program. First tenor—Harold Decker, Melvin Bitz, Richard Weikum; second tenor— John Curtis, Howard Schlepp; first bass—Tommy Row, Roy Garner, James Hill; second bass—John Woodward, Bob Kincaid, LeRoy Eidahl, Hal Gollehon and Russell Wikstrom. Ernest L. Lunden, director. Music is harmony, harmony is love, and love is God. —Sidney Lanier. To be able to sing or play well even a simple melody, gives a satisfaction to the soul that cannot be derived from hearing the greatest artist perform. Every soul deserves this happiness. With this in mind no girl has been barred from our club, which has a membership of nineteen. Our aim has been to gain an increased knowledge of sight reading and to develop part singing. We have within our club a two-part and a three-part chorus, as well as a double quartet. Our public appearances have been: several miscellaneous programs, Senior Commencement and the Christmas pageant-cantata, Come Ye to Bethlehem, in which several boys joined us to make up the choir, while the first six grades told the story in pageant. The personnel of each part and the number of years each has been a member follows: First soprano—Ruth Rouns 5, Lois Hill 3, Rachel Jermunson 5, Gladys Hemry 1, Electa Peeler 2, Erma Weist 2, Ruby Anderson 2. Second soprano—Martha Keller 3, Edeline Larson 2, Lois Copenhaver 1, Cecille Gul- lickson 1, Laura Curtis 2, Mildred Banka 2. Alto—-Gladys Kauk 5, Lucile Bur- dick 2, Phyllis Burdick 1, Betty Gollehon 3, Rebecca Gollehon 1, Erna Weikum 3. Viola Zimbelman has been our patient, faithful and able accompanist for the past two years. Miss Margaret Berg has been director for the same period. The band this year is the largest in the school's history, having a mem- bership of forty-four, including the drum major and twirlers. The Seniors we lose by graduation are Mildred Thompson, clarinet; Viola Zimbelman, trum- pet; Robert Kincaid, cornet; Lucile Burdick, trombone; Gladys Kauk, baritone; James Hill and Hal Gollehon, basses. A large audience heard our annual concert, which was given Friday, March 1. Our drum major, Johnnie MacLean, made a striking appearance in his new uniform and black fur shako. The twirlers also dressed in new outfits and who performed at the concert were Phyllis Burdick, Erna Weikum and Dickie Anglemyer. The new members in the band this year are Raymond Shideler, clarinet; Edeline Larsen and Mildred Banka, saxophones; Rebecca Gollehon, alto horn; Freddy Banka, trombone; Betty Gollehon, cymbals, and Rachel Jermunson, piano accordion. We are again going to the Havre Band Festival. 16 (T i lames Hill Roy Garner Hal Gollehon Robert Kincaid Howard Schlepp Tommy Row Richard Weikum Russell Wikstrom Melvin Bitz John Curtis Harold Decker LeRoy Eidahl Mildred Banka Ruby Anderson Gladys Hemry Ernest Lunden Electa Peeler Edeline Larsen Erma Wiest Erna Weikum Viola Zimbelman .A f ' Cecille Gullickson Rebecca Gollehon Betty Gollehon Laura Curtis Lois Hill Martha Keller Gladys Kauk Rachel Jennunson Ruth Rouns Ernest Lunden, Director JEti Dickie Anglemyer, Twirler Ema Weikum, Twirler Johnnie MacLean, Drum Major Top Row: Betty Gollehon, Waven Schlepp, Robert Kincaid, Kolb Kincaid.

Phyllis Burdick, Twirler ?„iUl Six-man football came into its own during the 1939 season. After two years without a victory, Brady won the district title and earned the right to meet Augusta in the playoff. The season started dismally with not enough players to make a team. Lack of practice and experience caused a big Valier team to defeat Brady 31 to 0. This was the first game of the season. The next week a new system of play was devised and Brady won over Oilmont 18 to 0. This was Brady's first victory on a football field and was due mainly to the stellar play of Wikstrom in center, who repeatedly tackled the Oilmont back so hard they fumbled and two touchdowns were made off them. Fee Wee Decker also played good ball for the Bulldogs. The next game was the real test of the season. The unbeaten, unscored-on team from Valier were to be the opponents. In a story book finish the Bulldogs, showing every tendency of their namesake, scored a 2 to 0 overtime victory in a battle that will long be remembered. The first half ended and the score was a tie with Brady holding the upper hand all the way. In the third quarter Valier fumbled as the result of a hard tackle by Wikstrom. Schlepp recovered and scored a touchdown. Gollehon kicked the extra point and the game seemed on ice. A kick that was returned 30 yards, a penalty at the wrong time and a desperate fourth down pass gave Valier a touchdown and they added the extra point tieing up the game (8-8). The game soon ended with Brady knock- ing at the door for another touchdown. In the playoff Valier got to the one-yard line and only a miraculous tackle by MacLean saved a touchdown. In the last play of the game a perfect pass, Schlepp to Gollehon, gave Brady the necessary yardage to win. Oilmont was played there in a blizzard but again were the victims of a savage attack that gave Brady a 16 to 2 victory and the championship. Augusta was the next opponent and while we lost 18 to 12 it took the combined efforts of the Augusta team, led by the grand Dyer, and two bad decisions by Referee Harper to win. All in all the team played grand ball. With little opportunity for scrim- mage, the entire squad worked hard and developed greatly. Using an aerial game, which was almost unstoppable, the Brady team easily out-gained all their opponents. The regulars were Johnnie MacLean, who played end on defense and blocking back on offense; Dick Weikum, also an end; Pug Wik- strom, the best center we played all year; Maurice Thorson, whose handling of the ball at quarterback was perfection and who also turned out to be a fine defensive man as well; Howard Schlepp, the tailback, a grand passer and by far the best defensive back around here, and Capt. Hal Gollehon, who called the signals, blocked effectively and received a good many passes. The reserves were Pee Wee Decker, a tailback; Bob Kincaid, a blocking back and center; John Curtis, end; Bud Hill, end and back, and Melvin Bitz, an end. To Coach Vern Mayo and his squad the Spotlight pays tribute. Long will the team of '39 be remembered. 19 a iLc (lull Brady completed a fairly successful basketball season, winning 10 games and losing 11. The highlight of the season was a 25 to 21 victory over the Conrad Cowboys. Brady played all the teams in the district and several outside ones. Among these were Choteau, the State School Silents and the Canadian-American team, Monalta. Two of our opponents were district champions and one was the winner of the Northern Division. The following players and lettermen were on the team: Capt. Hal Gollehon, a senior who played four years for the Bulldogs. His position was guard and forward. Bud Hill, also a senior, a three-year veteran who played good ball at guard. Roy Garner, junior, did yeoman work in retrieving the ball from the backboards. Howard Schlepp, junior, a high scoring forward for the Bulldogs. Tommy Row, freshman, played forward, alternating with Maurice Thorson, junior, who played both guard and forward. Dick Weikum, sophomore, sub- stituted at center and forward. Russell Wikstrom, senior, guard, and Johnny MacLean, guard and center. Others on the squad were: Bob Kincaid, Melvin Bitz, Harold Decker, Henry Rouns and Johnny Woodward. Junior High School Basketball Junior High Interschool basketball was continued this year with Coaches Vern Mayo and Johnnie MacLean in charge. Additional to twice-a-week practices, games were played with the fol- lowing schools: Valier 2, Dutton 1, Ferdig 2, Conrad 1 and Choteau 2. Wins and losses were about equal. All boys attending Junior High were given an opportunity to play. 20 FOOTBALL Back Row Coach Vem Mayo, James Hill, John Curtis, Johnnie MacLean, Russell Wlkstrom, Richard Weikum, Henry Rouns, Manager.

The Pep Club gave the boys encouragement at some of the out-of-town games by traveling sometimes as far as fifty miles to sit on the sidelines and cheer. Toward the end of the year the entire Pep Squad received white bulldog sweaters, a gift of Brady High School. Custom decreed that the first party of the year should be the Sophomore's entertainment of the Freshmen with the upper classes and faculty as guests. Initiation began at 9 a. m., September 15, with their introduction to the assembly. Each Freshie was dressed in a gunny sack. Having sang or recited each was escorted to his seat to await the evening's festivities. Following a series of clever stunts and tricks, which the Frosh seemed to enjoy as much as anyone, dancing started. This was followed by a lunch. November 14 the Freshmen entertained the Junior-Senior High School and faculty at a masquerade. Prizes were awarded for the most unusual costumes. These were won by Lucile Burdick, who dressed as a Russian Cossack, and Wayne Mobray as a rabbit. Games, dancing and lunching completed the evening. The third party, held December 22, was the Christmas entertainment of the Junior-Senior High School and faculty by the Senior Class. Christmas deco- lations, a lighted tree, a short program, Santa's appearance and a distribu- tion of gifts to one and all sped the evening by all too rapidly. After the serving of lunch, dancing was enjoyed to the music of a phonograph with amplifier attachment. Friday, March 8, the Junior High entertained for the High School and faculty. Invitations representing a green frog and reading Leap to Our Party were handed each guest. A program, games, dancing and lunch com- pleted a most enjoyable evening. An innovation this year was the B Club party for its members and guests. Held Friday, March 15, it came as a fitting climax to the football and basketball season. After a program of numbers participated in by each mem- ber of the club, basketball awards were made. A program dance was then enjoyed. Lunch was served. The Junior Class completed the school's social season when they enter- tained the school and faculty with a wiener roast on the banks of Teton creek, May 13. All enjoyed themselves except for a few who tried to eat ALL the hot-dogs. 23 cut n unient The Sixth Annual Border Invitational or Small School Basketball Tourna- ment was held at Brady January 26-27. International color, begun a year ago, was continued by the inclusion of Coutts, Alberta, whose boys played with Sweet Grass to form the Monalta team. Another attraction was the team representing the Montana School for the Deaf and Blind at Great Falls. Oil- mont, Sunburst, Valier and the host school constituted the other entries. District Judge R. E. Hattersley conducted the drawing at the Conrad-Brady basketball game January 20. In the first round Valier defeated Oilmont 53-7 while Brady downed the State Silents in a hard-fought match 35-21. Sunburst then defeated Monalta 40-32 to finish the first day's games. Saturday morning Valier furnished the iirst tournament upset in defeating Brady 45-30. Brady had been selected for first place by the dopesters. Sunburst then defeated Oilmont 36-23 and Monalta outplayed the Silents to win 43-20. Saturday evening Brady won over Monalta in the consolation finals to take third place and again Valier was party to an unexpected upset, this time their defeat in an overtime game by Sunburst, 28-26. Weather was ideal, roads were excellent and wins and losses throughout the season about even. This helped to pack the gymnasium at each session. The final night it was necessary to put chairs on the playing floor to accom- modate the crowd. Trophies were presented by President Peterson of the Montana School for the Deaf and Blind to Sunburst as winner of first place; Valier, second place, and Oilmont, the basketball. Girls' Pep Clubs of several schools added much to the entertainment and enthusiasm by their floor formations, yells and songs. 24 Two plays were given this school year, Mail Order Brides by the Juniors and Aunt Susie Shoots the Works by the Senior Class. Both plays were di- rected by Miss Helen Demarest. Mail Order Brides was presented November 10. The plot was a mail order sent by the owner of the Ruby Heart ranch, Maurice Thorson, for three wives for the three young men on the ranch, Johnnie MacLean, Roy Garner and Howard Schlepp. Irene Stinson, Anita Mowbray and Cecille Gullickson played the parts of the brides. Others having parts in the play were Nancy Henshaw, played by Anna MacLean; the Indian Princess, Rachel Jermunson; Jane Hamilton, Helen Blake; Deering Hamilton, Henry Rouns, and William Hamilton, Clarence Mustoe. Aunt Susie Shoots the Works was given March 29. Aunt Susie Stowe (Lucile Burdick), an eccentric and man-hating spinster lived entirely alone. When she learned that her late lamented schoolmate, Cora King, had willed her her property, she wired her favorite niece, Joy Herbert (Viola Zimbelman), to meet her at the King residence. Joy arrived accompanied by her colored maid, Scarlet (Gladys Kauk), and while waiting in the supposedly deserted house for Aunt Susie they are confronted by a series of hair-raising events. Just as they are about to depart Aunt Susie arrives. The property consists of the house and a large sausage works and Aunt Susie plans to begin manufacturing sausages when Cora King's lawyer, Portia Lark (Cecille Gullickson), descends on them and tells Aunt Susie that she will inherit the property only if she marries Omar Graves (Russell Wikstrom), Cora's cousin, within thirty days. Aunt Susie hits the ceiling and prepares for battle. To make matters worse, Joy is secretly engaged to young Johnny Rogers (Bud Hill), who turns up unexpectedly, bent on a mysterious mission and disguised as an old man. Aunt Susie mistakes the hapless Johnny for Omar Graves and poor Johnny is on the verge of nervous prostration when the real Omar Graves arrives accompanied by his colored man-servant, LaSalle (Hal Gollehon). Lights flashed off and on, characters disappeared into nowhere, strange visitors ran in and out at midnight, and weird sounds were heard coming from the factory next door. Aunt Susie then determined to investigate. Her experiences left the audience in a spasm of laughter. Others taking parts were Laura Dawson, Mildred Thompson; Madame Zola, Martha Keller; Mrs. Edward Dunning, Ruth Rouns; and Slick Conway, Robert Kincaid. 27 it'tu Uus For several years our school has presented commercal assembly pro- grams. This year the numbers were Dr. R. A. Melville, glass blower; Chester A. Newby, geologist; the Southland Singers; the Humpty-Dumpty Circus, and Laff That Off, a three-act comedy. Dr. Melville, though injured seriously in an automobile accident on the evening of his scheduled appearance, October 2, came six weeks later to give a very educational program. He talked most interestingly of glass making in its many phases, its importance in a scientific world and concluded with the fashioning of a very beautiful vase. Chester A. Newby, geologist, substituted for Harry R. Reasoner, who was accidentally drowned during the summer months. He gave a lecture-discus- sion on two billion years of the earth's history, followed by the showing of a rock exhibit and a public forum in which all were invited to ask questions on local geology. The Southland Singers, colored, consisting of a male quartette, a banjo player and a dancer, entertained a large crowd. Graduates of an Iowa College, they nevertheless brought with them the spirit of the south in their sketch, Plantation Days. Melody and tonal quality marked their program. Mr. Anderson presented the Humpty-Dumpty Circus, consisting of trained monkeys, dogs and ponies. Perhaps the most amusing part of the program was the banana race between Mabel and George. Mabel not only won but dis- courteously snatched and ate much of George's banana. Recently Mr. Andei son obtained a Montana coyote by paying the bounty. In that time he had trained it to the point that it would sit on its stool. He remarked that it gave every promise of learning many tricks. Wilson Productions presented Laff That Off, a three-act comedy, April 30. A professional cast of four, each an excellent actor and working togethei as a unit, presented a production of high merit. The lighting effects were unusual. All contributed to a most delightful evening. 28 SCHOOL CALENDAR SEPTEMBER— 4— Labor Day. First faculty meeting of the year. 5— Opening day.

We're off, the cup of adult life to sip. No fond farewell, nor damp starred eyes; Our youth excludes a sentimental tear. We've a lifetime to cry o'er memories dear Of happy carefree days at Brady High. So let us leave with a careless parting; The young are made for laughter and for joy. As Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, all We've waited long for our final starting. Man and woman take placo of girl and boy; With smiling lips we go; succeed or fall. 31 To the firms whose names appear on this page, we extend our thanks.
