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.

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

« .. « 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.
