V If we could turn back the pages of time to September 6, of 1937 we would find fourteen timid, green freshman entering Rrady High. Two new members from other schools »ere Wadeline Wueist and Wayne Clinard. The next veek re held a clasr meeting and the following officers were elected: President, Howard Schlepp; Vice-President, Maurice Thorson; Secretary, Helen plake; Stu- dent Council Representative, Gladys Johnson; Peporter, Anna Mac- Lean; Sponsor, Miss Clson. On September 16 we were dressed up like Indians and initiated. We gave then a return party tro weeks later. After three months vacation we came back again seeking more knowledge. This time three of our last year's members were miss- ing. Wayne Clinard ent to Great Falls, Madeline Wueist to her home near Agavam, and Gladys Johnson to Conrad Hi School. An election was held and the following v.ere elected as our class of- ficers: President, Howard Schlepp; Vice President, Maurice Thor- son; Secretary, Helen Blake; Student Council Representative, Electa Peeler; Reporter Anna MacLean; Sponsor, Gay Kravik. We had the pleasure of initiating the Freshman Class. As Juniors we were back again. This time we had two new members, Cecille Gullickson and Harold Decker. We displayed our dramatic ability in the Junior Class Play, ’’Mail Order Brides. In the spring of 1940 we busily decorated the gym in blue and silver crepe paper for the Junior Prom, given April 12. On the ceiling a large '40 was suspended and lighted by small light bulbs. The large ceiling lights were turned off and lights along the side of a blue spotlight furnished illumination. A three month vacation changed us again and this time we came back as dignified seniors to occupy the west row of assem- bly seats. We added a new name to our class roll, Willard Gutz- mer entered from La Seur, Minnesota. Then after the first six weeks -Helen Dahlstrom entered from Ennis, Montana. We held a meeting and elected the following officers: President, Howard Schlepp; Vice-President, Johnnie MacLean, Secretary, Electa Peel- er, Student Council Representative, Anita Mowbray, Reporter Anna MacLean. Father Time is counting off the days left of our school life and ve regret leaving good old Brady High. PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Parents, Teachers and Friends. Having been chosen by my classmates to be their president, for the four years of our high school life, I have tried to fill the office to the best of my ability. I wish now to thank my fellow classmates for the splendid cooperation they have given me . The most painful part of graduation is the bidding of fare- well to teachers, school activities and the school itself. Many times ve have risen in rebellion, against the teachers, whom we didn’t like because they made us work, against our lessons which we thought too hard, and against our parents for sending us to school. All these, the bitter with the sweet, have prepared us to go our into thw world as Drenared men and women. On behalf of my classmates and myself I bid farewell to Brady High School and teachers. Howard Schlepp

We, the aenior claaa of Brady High School, being ourselves and having full pos- session of our well-balanced minds at this time;--hereby do publish and endorse this document as the last will and testament,--hoping that we have made a peaceful and equitable settlement with our guidances and our institution of learning. First, we bequeath the noble teachers of ours, our admittance of our dumbness and wish to congratulate them on their ability of ever getting any knowledge into our heads at all. Y e wish also to leave them all the notes, wads of gum, and whis- pered conversations, in order that they might perceive what the Juniors will leave them next year. Second, we will to the Board of Education our desire for the establishment of an orchestra, or a tennis court, a water system, so that the students to come shall not be punished by the lack of equipment to give them a full and unprejudiced know- ledge of what real high school life should be. But our main will to the Board is 1 ,000,000 for the purpose of buying announcements, pictures, name cards, etc.; for the Senior Class to graduate in the years to come in order that they might have them in time for commencement exercises and for the annual. Third, we will leave to the Juniors all our advice gained from decisive wars and experience as to the right method to follow in choosing class rings, mottoes, colors, flowers, and announcements so that no one in the class will be killed in the conflicts;--thus preventing, perhaps, his possible graduation. Fourth, to the Sophomores we leave some of our boys to keep Tom company; to the Freshmen we leave our ability to argue at every class meeting. Then, the Silly Symphony, Helen Blake, Anita Mowbray, and Irene Stinson will- ingly leave to the other member of the symphony, Dorothea Hill, their laughing gig- les which they unceasingly employed in delaying the procedure of recitations in all their classes, because they knew not their lessons. Clarence Mustoe leaves his curly hair and his ability to become so interested in his radio that he missed a basketball game to Birdeen Otness. Helen Dahlstrom bequeaths her flirtatious ways and her letter writing ability to Mildred Banka. Rachel Jermunson leaves her baby talk in Speech class and her loud voice to Lois Copenhaver. Johnnie MacLean wills his most noticeable dancing abilities to George Ellingson so that George might have the same success in dancing that Johnnie has had. To Edeline Larsen, Cecille Gullickson leaves her ability to do the Suzie Q. Beware of lover’s lane, Edeline. Willard Gutzmer bequeaths his height to Willard Schlepp and his way with the Freshmen girls to Jackie Kauk. Anna MacLean bequeaths her Schlepping ability to Ruby Anderson. Howard Schlepp leaves his position as president of the class and his athletic ability to Kenneth Otness. To Gladys Hemry, Anita Mowbray leaves her athletic ability and her sillyness. Henry Rouns wills his quiet ways and his humorous poems and pantomimes in Speech class to Wayne Mowbray. Irene Stinson bequeaths her dignity to Marie Smart and her desk in the senior row to Betty Gollehon. Maurice Thorson le ves his parking place in lover’s lane to Kolb Kincaid and his knowledge of Judicial laws to Waven Schlepp. Helen Blake leaves her ability to keep boys sitting on her doorstep for three hours to Erma Wiest. Roy Garner wills his mischievousness to Neil Stuart. Electa Peeler leaves her way with the Aces to Hilly MacLean. Hereunto we have set our honorable hands and seals, knowing nil the provisions herein proclaimed to absolutely unalterable and undissolveafcle by all mortal or im- rr
