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.

sz—'etuer Of this graduating class, the following began and completed their grade and high school education in Brady: James Hill, Gladys Kauk, Robert Kincaid, Ruth Rouns, Mildred Thompson and Russell Wikstrom. 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

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. Anglemyer Vern Mayo William Andreasen 7
