CLASS HiSTOPY The shades of the gym are drawn, the lights turned down low. 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.

PRESIDENTS PDDPESS Parents, Friends and Teachere, When I was elected President of my class this year, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to fulfill my position very well but due to the cooperation of my classmates the task is much easier. 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.
