Superintendentis' Message Once more the close of another school year: once more another annual! We offer our congratulations to the class of 1951 for this accomplishment. We believe that the high school annuals published in our country during any given year are vital publica- tion. They constitute a good source of information concerning the thoughts and customs of that particular year. It has been interesting to observe your enjoyment when you examined Spotlights published years previously here at Brady. Given a few years and the students of tomorrow will have the same amount of enjoyment you have had in observing the odd hair-dos, strange clothes and the stiff starched collars that your Mothers and Fathers wore when they attended Brady High School several years ago. I believe your present publication will prove a valuable addition to the present collection of Brady High School Spotlights. Morgan J. Sherlock, Supt. 11

Class History We entered Brady Public School in the fall of 1939 with a class of five pupils. The class at that tirne consisted of Dick Anglemyer, Calvin Oien, Lilly Severson, Bonita Hill and Herbert Styren. During our grade school years eight students joined the class. They were as follows: Marian Tempel, Bill Robinson, Fern Anderson, Kenneth Magdall, Oscar Germundson, Duane Lewis, Bill York, and Dennis Christianson. Three of the original class, Lilly, Bonita, and Cal, survived the eight tedious years of grade school to begin high school in the fall of 1947. After completing our grade school education we en- tered high school with a class consisting 'of Cal Oien, Fern Anderson, Bonita Hill, Lilly Severson, Oscar Germundson, Beth Royels, Bill Robinson, Marian Tempel, and Kenneth Magdall. Bill York went to Texasg Duane Lewis moved to Great Fallsg and Dennis Christianson also moved away. Beth Royels entered from Jordan at this time. lt was during our Sophomore year that Herb Rabe joined us from Minneapolis, Minnesota and Marjorie Petersen came from Cut Bank. 'Oscar Germundson withdrew to join the army. Beth Royels moved away after completing the Sophomore year. Our entire Junior year was spent advising and in all ways helping the Seniors. All of the members of the Junior class were cast in the Junior, Senior play, Let Me Out Of Here. We assisted greatly in running the activities of the school. We entered our Senior year with a strange feeling that we had lost something. It wasn't until the beginning of the second semester that we finally realized it was Herb and Bill. They are now both living in Brady. We spent our Senior year doing as little as possible and causing as much trouble as we thought we could get away with, however we hope that through the efforts which we have exerted in the last four years, that we have accomplished something which will make us better citizens in the years to come. 10

Presidentis Farewell Address Parents, faculty, friends and classmates: Last fall my class honored me by electing me president. I have filled this office to the best of my ability. I wish to thank my classmates for their co-operation and loyalty. The last four years of my life are but a steppingstone to the other side--my goal. Yet this steppingstone is essential. It will save time, trouble, and maybe failure. Very often students do not realize what the value of high school is. It is the period in which we learn to stand on our own legs. After this period comes the trying of those legs on the highways of the world. Every student should realize at the beginning the importance of this period and make the most of those four years. Graduation comes all too soon and time wasted will be regretted. AI hope the Brady High School may long continue to serve this community and that its ideals and traditions may long live. With eve ry commencement of any task there must be a leaving off of some other. One can not realize the full value of a thing until it is gone. But when I leave off the tasks of my high school days, I shall commence with a fundamental preparation for the upward climb to my life's goals. www' - emaw IZ
