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.

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.

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.
