I Lave appreciated this honor and hope your confidence in me was not misplaced. Our Senior year has been very different from the past years. The war has changed our school in many ways. We have gone on with one less teacher than we had in previous years, and we have had a hard time carrying on our extra activities. In spite of this, I feel that we have progressed a great, deal. We have not only carried on our school work, but have done as much as we could to help the war effort. We participated in a scrap metal drive and also a fats drive. We have bought war stamps, and along with these, have made many other small sacrifices. Now we must take leave of Brady Hi. I only hope that the Class of On September 3, 1939, 10 energetic students started their career as a class in Brady High School. We were not accepted as students until we were initiated by our immediate superiors. Our Freshmen class sponsor was William Andreasen and Milly M. was our President. After three months’ vacation we were all back, determined to make this year’s Freshmen class pay also. We initiated them September 20. Miss Eleanor Miller was our sponsor with Betty M. as our President. As our Junior year began, we had only 9 members. Betty U. left the ranks of our class. Frank Mathew was elected our sponsor, with Tommy R. as President. The year was highlighted by our Class Play, One Mad Night, directed by Miss Lois Herrett. At the beginning of the second semester, we took over the publishing of the school paper. On April 17, we had our Junior Prom. On September 14, 1942, we began our last year in Brady High School with Mr. Glenn Lockwood as our sponsor and our officers as follows: President, Tommy R.; Vice-President, Milly M. ; Secretary-Treasurer, Lois H.; Reporter, Erma W.; and Representative, Gladys H. On Nov- ember 21 we gave our Class Play, The Professor Proposes, directed by Miss Isabel Guest. At the end of the first semester we relinquished the Spotlight to the Junior class and began work on our annual. Baccalaureate and Commencement are the highlights of our four years in High School in which we enjoyed immensely the companionship of our classmates and sincere guidance of our teachers. CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1943, being of firm (?) mind, memory, and purpose, do hereby declare and publish this, our last will and testament. As a whole, we leave to the Faculty the undergraduates for them to struggle with a few more years. We hope that they are not as much trouble as we were. To the Juniors we leave the privilege of apeaking without per- mission in the study hall. To the Sophomores we bequeath our places at the magazine shelves. We hope they will read the papers more often than we did. To the Freshmen boys the Senior girls will their majority rule. To the Junior High we leave our ability to keep our row of seats stra ight. Then, Mildred Banka bequeaths her willingness to work to Merle Petersen. Lois Copenhaver wills her place on the piano bench in the music room to Kenneth Otneas. Laura Curtis leaves her sense of humor to Waven Schlepp. Gladys Hemry will her too-frequent ailly streaka to Neil Stuart. Lois Hill leaves her ability to hit the high notes in Glee Club to Lucille Ellingson. Milly MacLeen leaves, to Louis Deering, her large vocabulary to struggle with. Tommy Row wills his ability to get to school just as the bell rings to Art Roans. Erna Weikum wills her ability to play the drums to Lyle Ringeisen. Erma Wiest leaves her way of handling gum to Phyllis Burdick. She hopes the shortage won’t rust Phyllis's Jaws. The testators have hereunto set their hands and seal this day of May, in the year of our Lord, 1943. w (Signed) CLASS of ’43 CLASS PROPHECY It was a quiet spring evening and I had Just returned home from a busy day's work at the California Aircraft Institution. I was sit- ting under a big tree on the lawn watching the people go back and forth. Finally, I saw a familiar figure coming down the walk. As she approached me, I saw it was my old schoolmate, Erma Wiest. After a friendly greeting, I invited her to come sit with me and talk. She told me all about her career as a nurse and that she was to leave for overseas duty soon. We started talking about our good old school days. She had heard that Mildred Banka had already been sent overseas with a group of Red Cross nurses. Tommy Row, she said, hsd joined the army the day after graduation and wa3 now a general leading an army of men over in Australia. He had won several medals for bravery. As we S8t talking we noticed a brunette girl in uniform coming to- ward us. As she got nearer we recognized her as Erna Weikum. She met a Lieutenant and gave him a quick, snappy 38lute. We learned later it was Harold Hemry she had saluted. Erna had joined the W. A. A. C.'s after she had graduated. We invited her to come in and talk with us. We learned from her that Gladys Hemry was now a teacher in Brady High School and was well-liked by both students and teachers. Lois Copenhaver was also a teacher in Brady. S!ie was teaching the primary grades. Remember when she used to substitute when trie pri- mary teacher was absent? Erna said she had accidentally run across Milly llacLean when she was stationed in New York. Milly had started her own career. Sie wrote love letters for soldiers to send to their sweethearts. We all agreed she must be pretty good at it because she always liked to write letters for someone else. Milly had told Erna that Lois Hill had worked at the Airport in Great Falls right after school but was now married and living in Minnesota. Her husband was in the service there. At 10:30 Erna said that she had to be back to camp by 11:00, so both the girls left. I was alone, only to dream of our good old school days in Brady High, once again. Realizing it was getting late, I went to bed so I would be ready to go to work the next morning. « .. « 1 Atw5 3 1 1 1 BASKETBALL Left Row Down: Kenneth 0.; Neil S.; Ered B.; Lyle R. , Jack K.; Art R.; Center: Tom R.; Right Row Down: Elner K.; George E.; Birdeen 0.; Willard S.; Waven S.; Wayne U. During the season of 1943, the Bulldogs won 35 per cent of their games. Starting out with a green, inexperienced team, Coach Lock- wood drilled and practiced with the boys until his team could meet all brands of competition. After losing the first three games, the Bulldogs tenacity showed up, and harder practice was rewarded by victories. Tommy Row, the only Senior player, was elected Honorary Captain. It was by his well-aimed shots and true passes that the team was guided.

The boys were properly initiated by having to wear girl’s dresses and performing various stunts. At the Christmas party that the Seniors gave all of the students exchanged presents and spent the evening dancing. The Freshmen and Jr.-Hi students gave a dancing party after one of the basketball games. The last class party was given in March by the Juniors. The Teachers’ Reception was put on as a welcome to the new teach- ers. Everyone Joined in community singing and seversl games of fun, followed by a program and lunch. This year G bigger and better crowd than ever before attended the regular school carnival. A clever program was put on under the di- rection of Mrs. Trost and Mrs. Bartsch. Following the carnival was a dance to the music of the Bluebird orchestra from Shelby. As has been the custom for several years, the whole school Joined in giving the Christmas program. There were carols, noveitv numbers and the usual Christmas story. Santa Clause passed out the treat. Dr. C. L. Clifford, past Dean of Mont. Youth Institutes spoke be- fore the school assembly on two different occasions. His first speech Spare Tires told the students the necessity for using these years of high school to store up some knowledge and useful hints for later years. His second speech was on The Sense of Values. Both class plays were financial successes. The Seniors hired an orohestra for their dance. They made 49.60 which was used for pub- lishing the annual and for other expenses. The Juniors gave a dance with the phonograph, as an orchestra was hard to obtain. The pro- ceeds, ♦41 .50, were used for the Gingham and Cord Dance. The B Club sponsored a banquet and dance to which the faculty and Pep Club members were invited. They also gave a benefit dance. A Gingham and Cord Dance was sponsored by the Juniors instead of the traditional Junior Prom. Everyone had to come in sports or play clothes. The admission was 5$ an inch the length of your foot. A Jamboree was held to give the public an idea of the sort of pro- gram attempted in the Boys’ and Girls’ P. E. Classes. The varied program included tumbling, pyramid building, calisthenics, boxing, folk dancing, volleyball, table tennis, and an obstacle course for the older boys. The benefits went to the Athletic Association. A banquet in honor of the Seniors was given by the parents in the gym on May 8. The following morning Baccalaureate services were held with Rev. Smith as the speaker. The Seniors wore dark blue caps and gowns to Commencement exer- cises. Rev. Marvin Adams of Valier was the principal speaker. The Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Clubs also contributed some numbers. Lois Hil. gave the salutatory address and Lois Copenhsver the valedictory ad- dress. The diplomas and other swards were given out. The climax of the year was marked by the all-school picnic held in the Lion’s Park of Dutton. Games and various races were held. A hilarious comedy of three acts, The Professor Proposesproved to be an outstanding hit as staged by the Class of 1943 on November 21. Mias Isabel Guest directed the play. The plot revolves about the trials of two college juniors who seem to have a unique ability of becoming involved in all manner of ri- diculous situations. Geraldine, determined to land a man for her friend, Emily, creates a legendary and romantic figure called Jack, the source of this inspiration being a picture left in their room bv an earlier occupant. Complications set in when the original of the picture appears in the flesh as the new professor. Bert Cornell supplies the college love element,while many a hearty laugh is pro- voked by Bob Flint and the three B s--Bettyl Belle, and Bonnie. Mildred, the maid, adds a bit of the ridiculous in snappy style. Complete disaster is averted finally,due to the appearance of Hose McKenny, wife of the new professor.

Once again Miss Isabel Guest was the director, and did a very capable and efficient job. Designed as light entertainment, this play, containing inumerabjg humorous situations, certainly hit the spot with the crowd. All three acts take p_‘ ice in the Hideout Mountain Hotel in the White Mountains where Lie ton,aided and abetted by Jimmy and Dixie, boasts of the finest beds, water, meals, and what-not in the country. Feethers Conrad, famous a ator, and hi3 bosom and light-hearted paJ, Dave, retire here to escape publicity. Chester and the Widow pro- vide real comedy, as do Jimmy and Dixie. After many complications, all the entanglements are ironed out smoothly.

Too, it is there that we turn when in need of additional information on nearly any subject. Many improvements were made in our library this year, most notable of which is its new location. Formerly, it was necessary for us to go to the office when we wished to use the library. But early last fall, all of the shelves and many volumes were moved into the rear of the study hall, where they are more readily accessible to all. We have approximately 900 volumes, including the many fine new books purchased this year. These cover a host of topics, as: re- ligion, biography, history, science, mathematics and many others. We have added some excellent fiction books and they seem to be good choices as they are given little opportunity to gather dust on the shelves. In addition to the books, we have a very useful card cat- alogue. Reader’s Guide, and a vast amount of material in the form of pamphlets and bulletins. These are filed alphabetically and grouped under separate topics in boxes on the shelves, so that material on any subject is easil; located. A representative list of magazines is on hand for the reader, in- cluding Life, Scholastic Coach, National Geographic, Readers' Digest, Newsweek, Popular Science, Popular Mechanic, and others. Exchanges from other high school papers are always available, too. If the mark of good reading is a well-used book or magazine, then we must have some of the best of both. Our library this year has been under the constant care of Miss Isabel Guest, history and English instructor. With the help of some of the older girls in school, she has managed our library efficient- ly and smoothly. Most of us students are well enough versed with the library to select and check out books for ourselves, as well as use the cerd catalogue. Sometimes a school library is given little attention or use, but this certainly cannot be said of ours. It is an enjoyable, very- much used, part of oyr school. ■ CALENDAR SEPTEMBER FEBRUARY 14 School Opens 5 Basketba11-Sunburst-here 25 Freshmen Initiation 5 Freshmen-Jr. High Party 25 Football-Volier-here 6 Basketball-Conrad-here 29 Teacher’s Reception 9 Ba sketba11-Valier-there 12 Basketball-Dutton-here OCTOBER 13 Basketball-Conrad-there 2 County Teachers’ Meeting 17 Hot Lunch Card Party 6 Football-Dutton-here 25-27 District Tournament 9 Football-Power-there 16 Football-Oilmont-there MARCH 17 All School Party 5 Junior Party 24 Saturday School 15 Dr. Clifford speaks 30 School Carnival 20 Junior Class Play 24 Basketball-Brady Alumni- NOVEMBER here 7 B Cxub Perty 26 Band Concert 8-14 American Education Week 14 Saturday School APRIL 14 School Party 2 Pep Club Party 16 Dr. Clifford speaks 10 Saturday School 21 Saturday School 10 B” Club Party 21 Senior Class Play 17 Gingham and Cord Dance 26-27 Thanksgiving Vacation 23 Physical Ed.
