Mr. Lester Barrington Lester took over the duties of the Janitor this year, and despite the well meaning help of everyone, he has done a wonderful Job. He alone can get revenge by greasing our desks or freezing us out of the school. When there is anything to be done you can hear them asking for the Janitor, who is always ready and willing to help in any way possible. Lester, a returned veteran, spent six years in the Marine Corps, four of which were spent on the Pacific. He was discharged in January of last year. Mrs. Anna Kauk Our cook is perhaps the most popular woman in the school, especially at noon. Here in the lunch room everyone, teachers and students alike, give vent to their troubles under the ever watchful eye of Mrs. Kauk, who is ready to aid them, with an- other helping of some tasty dish, that is. More troubles are forgotten here than any other place, for who could worry while eating such splendid meals as Mrs. Kauk prepares.

We settle comfortably in our seats and Reel One flashes on the screen. Jolly little first graders scramble into their seats. Oh! surely, we think, they will never become dignified Seniors. But the film rolls on; they pass through the first eight grad- es, giving only misery and nightmares in return for the kmd- ness of their teachers. Intermission--What will become of these little vagabonds? Here’s Reel Two; we'll soon know. Well, for heaven's sakes! Here are five beautiful little boys, dressed in their nicest ribbons and gym suits! The screen brings them closer, and we see they are the Freshmen boys--Elmer Kauk, Richard Curtis, Johnny Banka, Bill Coughlin, and Walter Garner. 4-7-9- Hike! No, we were a little confused for awhile, but its only our Freahmen girls, Lorraine Weikurn, Eva Gollehon, Lucille Ellingson, and Mary Stuart, rigged out as rugged football playera. Initiation over, the poor, unsuspecting teachers endeavor to bring studies into the minds of these nine Freshmen. Mr. Lockwood, the superintendent, wished that Algebra were not a required subject and Mrs. Lestrud wonders if English is really their mother tongue. Reel Three. Here they are as Sophomores, a little less confused, but still ready to match wits with their teachers-- Mr. Kay, the principal, Mr. Morr, and Mr. Brown. Walter leaves in the fall and Joins the Navy. Reel Four. Juniors, Just look at them; they think they know everything. Two less, whe Dick transfers to Great Falls High and Bill retires to the less strenuous Job of farming, later to Join the Army. Mr. Morr, as principap, Miss Sauder, and Miss Bundy are now given the task of directing their stub- born minds into new untried fields. We see them carrying out the Carnival as in their other years, but also, they are work- ing on a play called Campus Quarantine, with the help of the rest of the high school, of course, and later tney help put on It's Tough to Be Rich under the direction of Miss Bundy. We see Johnny and Elmer helping to win fourth piece in the tournament in Cut Bank. They get their class rings, the envy of everyone. Reel Five. . 3niors five are now marching down the Brady halls, Johnny Loving transferred to Conrad. A very busy five are these, determined to make this last year their oest. They put out the Spotlight , and publish an annual, the Tirst in four years. Kr. Xorr, principal, and S r. and Mrs. Holloran try again what few have succeeded to do. Commencement, and me-thinks I see a look of regret in their eyes, but Joy is mixed with it, and they march out into a clear spring night, their diplomas in their hands and thanks in their hearts. Now the gym is lighted and we the Seniors of 1947 appear in person to say thank you, teachers and people of Brady, for giving us this wonderful start in lire. iULfiSS We, the Senior Class of 47 , leave the Brady Public School of Brady, Montana, in Pondera County to the rest of the pupils. May they inherit our most dignified air. To the Juniors we leave our row of seats even though they can’t fill them all. To the Sophmores the ability to dwindle from eleven pupils to five. We leave to the Freshman our good behavior and our study habits. May they be wise and learn them. To the seventh and eighth grades we bequeath our ability to speak with-out permission. To the Board of Education we bequeath our ability of passing Judgement on teachers they have hired. Now for the Seniors individual wills, Lorraine Weikum be- queaths her hazzy mornings to Clara Belle Moser, hoping that she may have many. Lucille Ellingson wills her ability to be bright and cheerful to Betty Armstrong and may she always prosper by them. Also she leaves to La Vonne Otness her ways of getting to Conrad on certain week nights. Eva Gollehon wills her ability to drive the Ford to Frances Gollehon. May she keep all the fenders. And also Eva wills her ability to run the mineograph machine to any one who thinks he can master it. Elmer Kauk leaves his ability to get to school on time to Jimmy Coughlin. May he spend the biggest part of the day out of bed. He also wills his height to Tommy Coughlin, for use in basketball only. Mary Stuart wills her ability to type (hunt and peck style) to Pat Teapel. Don’t Mve up, Pat.

When I started high school my mind was in great confusion and I was afraid I would walk into the wrong class room and forget to go to some class. But each year I have found more confidence in myself. Now I am a Senior and that feeling has all come back to mo 'because I will be going out into a world that is in great confusion Just as my mind was the first day in high school. As I will go out into the world and meet new friends, I hope they will be as friendly and cooperative as my classmates were in my last year in high school. Now as for the teachers, I want to thank you for the start in the world you've given me. All the talking you've been doing for the last twelve years seemed like a voice in the past but now I realize how much all that really means. It really makes me stop to think of all the things you've said. Now my parents, who helped me struggle to get an educa- tion, I owe you things that can not be put into worda. Things I've said about wanting to quit school or skip were the times you've reeflly urged me on and now I am Just beginning to real- ize what a high school education means. As for me, I say THANKS A MILLION . Tou really don't know how sorry I am to leave our Brady High School and all my friends.

I think that my dreams best express what will happen in the future. In the first of my eventful dreams I saw Elmer Kauk with graying hair sitting at his desk as professor of American Government. I recalled that he studied so hard on that sub- ject. The place wa3 none other than Harvard. Elmer was married ,but I couldn't find out his wife's name. He had had the professorship of American Government for a period of twelve years. It seemed he enjoyed the position, but as always there were a few exceptionals in his classes. Next in my dreams I saw a beautiful girl. This girl was a commercial director of Vogue Magazine in New York. She seem- ed to be very busy deciding whether or not to draw dogs or horses as a side line. By this time I knew who it was. None other than Mary Stuart. Mary was an exceptional artist in Brady High School. Many times she had drawings over her papers. As soon as the day was over she ascended in her pri- vate plane and returned to her home in Mary-land. I was trying to find Eva Gollehon in my dreams. When I saw her she seemed to be in s 'me foreign country. She had a home in one of the old castles and was surrounded by many children who called her grandmother. She had many modern con- veniences but was still compelled to use a car. One of the other members of the class was 9een in my dreams when she sold me a new wardrobe at her fashionable New York Shoppe. It seemed that her training in the good old Brady High School came in handy. She caters to all the movie stars and she has designed many different styles of clothes for the modern woman. I suppose you are all wondering who the g rl in question is. Why she is Lorraine Weikurn. She was f iking around $40,000 a month. Not bad, heh? Of course there ere taxes to be taken out. The last member of the class was a blonde. Hor name is Lucille Ellingson. After she left Brady High School, she Journeyed to the east,stopping off at the University of Minne- sota, where she mastered in Medicine. She attained the goal of A Brain Surgeon and was recently a member of the Staff of the V e3hington Memorial Hospital. I awoke at the last dream and I hope that at least one of the clrss of 47” will have attained the heights of success of my prophecy. (cl mss pa mm Yeers ago we had far to reach, So far, it spemed that the end would never come, But with the blessing of those that patiently teach We’ve studied our books and mastered some Until we find our goal attained and opportunity at our door. We can now look back on the years and restore 4 Those cherished memories, those thoughts so dear, Cf all the time we spent on each and every chore, Kow v e counted the months gone by until vacation drew so near, Our thoughts would often wander far away To our senior year and graduation day. To be sure our life has Just begun, Ahead we must uphold the right and suppress the wrong. We'll pay heed to our learning until our Job is done And follow our will to where our hearts belong. If willingness be half the battle of life, We'll live in prosperity and 9ee no strife. PEP EL EE Left to right: P. Tempel, D. Thompson, L. Weikum, B. Armstrong, L. Ellingson, L. Otness, L.

Jermunaon Early in November eleven hopefuls, under the guidance of Coach holloran, turned out to begin the basketball season. Sorely lacking in hwirht and experience, the team was faced .vi h a stiff schedule, of seventeen games, only four of which wound up in the winning column. With only one senior, Elmer Kauk, being lost by gr d- uation, the lettermen of this year, plus the experience gained should show up against the competition next year. The entire squad earned letters during the 1946—19V7 season.

Weikum SUP FIR IN TET'S MESSAGE Congratulations to the members or tne graduating class and my best wishes for your success and happiness. I have an idea you have arrived at this point of ycur liv 3 with mingled feelings of hope, of success and fear of failure. So far you have pursued a course laid out for you and solved only the problems assigned you. From this time on you plot your own course and set and solve your own problems. You must rely on untried powers. I want to assure you ypu need not fail. It is your good fortune to graduate in the year nineteen hundred forty seven. No other year in the history of the world presented so many vital problems or offered so many alluring opportunities. Possibilities for useful and successful careers are present everywhere. No preceding class has had so many. Graduation presents you with a challenge. I do not know what it will be. Each one of you will have his own. What to do with it will be your test. I hope that you will not be afraid to accept it. You cannot remain indifferent to it. I will not say you can’t fail, but I will say you need not fail. I want to suggest three attitudes to take toward the challenge: Say I can . Accept the challenge, take the dare. Consult your resources and do not count the difficulties. Say I ought . The sense of obligation strengthens and sustains one in every contest of life. This community has given you its best gift without cost. You have taken it and now you owe an obligation in proportion to the privileges you have receive ed. Say I will . The choice is yours. You must make the decision. You need not fail, and may I express will not. the hope that you EHE E E 1E IBS Left to right: M. Tempel, P. Tetnpel, B. Hill, L. Severson, M. Coughlin, D. Thompson, F. Anderson, L. Weikum, L.
