We, the Senior Class of 1949, of the Brady High School In the town of Brady, the county of Pondera, and the state of Mont- ana, being in as good mental condition as ever, and In an un- usually good temper, do hereby male this, our last will and test- ament, rendering void and of no avail sny former will or wills that may have been previously moke by us during a period of tem- porary optimum. We give and bequeath to the Juniors, freely and without re- servations all our privileges and right as Seniors in the class- room , as well as any notebooks, pencils, unfinished candy ber, and unfinished business, including debts contracted while engaged as being a Senior. Also, we bequeath to them our examination as re believe tha exams, as well as history, repeats Itself. To our friends, the Sophomores, we leavo our patience. It will be found useful to endure the Juniors. To the Freshman we givo, reluctantly but of necessity, our mentis of dignity. We realize that the class can never fill It but, since it Is expected of them, our advise Is nGrin and wear It. To the soon to be Freshmem we leave a map of the school so they v.ill not get lost in between classes. To the deer old school house we bequeath the silence left by our absence, pits any gum wads, spit balls and rotes re may have left behind. To the Faculty of Brady High we give, free of all Inherit- ance, luxury and income tax, our entire store of knowledge. To the history of the Brady School we leave our overwhelming talent. To the Glee Club we will our ability to watch the leader and audience at the same time. To Kerb Kabe, Tom Coughlin wills his ability as a basketball player and to Bill Ro lnson, his taking awry with the girls. To Col Oien, Loyal Deardorff wills his ability on buying cars.

CLASS HISTORy On a bright end sunny day in September of 45 , the doors of Brady High School were opened wide to admit eight bright and smiling Freshmen. Though we had entered high school we were made to feel that we weren’t full fledged members until initiation. We were all back again in the fall of 46 , and as Sophomores we greatly enjoyed the Freshman initiation since we were in charge. We had now become more accustomed to high school study and were able to cope with the subject matter. After a three months vacation we returned to find that there were only six of us, Clara Belle Moser had moved to Conrad and Garfield Jermunson had Joined the Navy. As Juniors we were much more prominent in school activeties. Finally our last year in Brady Hi came and five Seniors under the leadership of Hr. C. T. Royels began the Journey. Jack Dis- tad end Neil Jermunson left us to go to Great Falls end we wel- comed a new classmate Dorothy Rebe from the city of tall tales, Minneapolis, Minnesota. As Seniors we published the school paper and were prominent in most of the school activities. Tom Coughlin was elected class president; Loyal Deardorff, vice-president; Dorothy Rabe secre- tary; Hetty Armstrong, treasurer and Donald Wesley reporter. Aftter four years of study under the able direction of various teachers we have completed our high school education. Through our studies end association with other high school members we hope that we have learned enough of citizenship to fill our pos- itions out side of school honorably and capably.

VfllEOICTORy Parents, Teachers, Friends and Classmates: As valedictorian of this class, I am supposed to bring you the farewell of these distinguished disciples of learning who ap- pear before you Most of you have attended former Commencement ceremonies and from your resigned looks I know you are expecting me to stand upon the threshold and bore you with the seme old stories of porting and the saying of sad goodbyes. You think you know, almost line for line, what I shall say from the citations of: The School and the Faculty we love with all our hearts, down to the, Farewell, farewell, dear classmates--the hour has come to part. Ladles and gentlemen, you are mistaken! This valldlctory Is going to be different. Our class Is different; there have been very brilliant classes who have graduated from this school but-- ours Is different; there have been classes who were very handsome but—ours Is different; there have been classes noted for fine behavior and deportment but again ours Is different! And since we are different from others who have gone before, It Is fitting that this valedictory shall be different. I am not going to refer to the vast stores of knowledge our class has acquired during our high school days because as a class-- There Is so little learning In the wisest of us, And so much wisdom In the dullest of us. That It lsn1 t fitting for the best of us To talk about the rest of us. I really would like to thank the Board of Education for Its careful attention to the needs of our class and Its generosity In giving us up-to-date appliances. I would like to thank the mem- bers of the faculty for the persistent way In which they have polished us mentally, morally and physically, though I am sure they thought at times that It was a hopeless and thankless task and that we were unwilling and ungrateful. As I said before I would like to thank them for these many services, but I can tdo It because this parting has to be different. I can t even exhort the members of the class of 1949 to go forth with high Ideals and loyal hearts to win laurels for the dear old school ; but that doesn1 t worry me because our attempts at meeting examinations and our diligence in preparing for them assures me that we will be able to stand up pretty well under the trials of life. Yes I am quite confident that when we look back upon the tests of our senior year we will go on to victory. Schoolmates, classmates, this Is no funeral occasion. Al- though we may expire as seniors, the class of 1949 shall still live on. There is no deathl What seems so Is transition ; and bound by the ties of these years in Brady High School, we shall live more actively than ever before. We are leaving for various lines of study and of labor, but remember, we are different; Let there be no sadness of farewell when we embark. 0 r JLO
