I wish to thank my classmates for their co - operation and loyalty. The last four years of our lives are but a stepping-stone to the other side where we reach our goal. When we entered Brady High we expected, upon graduation, to find our goal directly before us, but now we realize that we are jusl beginning. We can remember in the past of numerous victories and achievements, but therA have also been many failures. It may have been natural to become discouraged then and we may still become discouraged at times, but we know the future has more’ wonderful things in store for us. On behalf Of my classmates I say farwell to good old Brady High, the teachers, and school mates.

HILL We, the senior class of nineteen hundred and forty-two, in the village of Brady County of Pondera, state of Montana; being of unstable mind, afflicted with undy- ing hatred of knowledge, and great haste to leave this vale of tears, do hereby dispose of all our worldly goods in the following manner; ARTICLE I We leave to our boring, uninteresting, inconsiderate, but beloved teachers what little knowledge we managed to absorb during our four years of high school. Wei. re sure that it is so minute that we won't miss it. Article II We bequeath to the Juniors all of our D's and P's. We do not want to be burden- ed with these at college. Upon the sophomore class we bestow our little bookworms which crawled in and out of our books, and yet were none the wiser. We will what dignity we have, though it is really not excessive, to the freshmeu who, alas! have none. ARTICLE III John Curtis leaves his winning way with Dutton girls to Artie Rouns. Dorothea Hill leaves her ability to discontinue her silliness, since 1941, to Erma Weist. Melvin Bitz bequeaths his athletic ability to Jackie Kauk. Richard Weikum leaves his car and ways of getting around to Tommy Row. Betty Gollehon leaves her place in the family tree to Lois Hill and her desk in the senior row to Milly Mac Lean. Hereunto we have set our honorable hands and seals, knowing all the provisions herein proclaimed are absolutely unalterable and undissolveable by all mortal and immortal beings. PROPHECY Seniors; You are on your own nowl For it is the wish of every senior to achieve something great. Whether you do this or not largely depends on you.
