PRESIDENTS MESSAG Parents, Faculty, Classmates, and Friends: Having been honored by my class by being chosen their president, 1 take this occasion to say to you in their behalf, these last few words, Much has been said of our past life at school and I feel that little can be added to the words that have been spoken. There only remain the words that are hardest of all to frame, andl feel myself unable to say any of them at all well. They mean so much, and seem to express so little once put into speech. When we first entered this high school, we were somewhat immature, and had been accustomed to think of ourselves as children, or at most, very young boys and girls. So much has been done for us since we came, and there ls so much else that we have been taught to do for ourselves, that we are leaving the school feeling ourselves finished men and women, ready to take our places among the citizens of the larger world. Our growth has not only been physical, but mental and spiritual as well. All this development we are thankful for to those who have had our instruction in hand. Not only our teachers, but our parents and com- panions. Be sure, dear teachers, that we feel it more deeply than we are able to express. You, too, dear parents, and friends, must feel that same assurance that we realize the large part you have played in making this a possibility, and we are none the less grateful because our words seem so pitlfully few and weak. Classmates, I cannot with any sincerity bid you Good Bye, but will simply say to all of you a cheery and triumphant 'Good Night. Larry Oien Sponsored by M. 8a T. IMPLEMENT, Brady, Montana

CLASS HISTORY The year 1954 will always be imprinted in our memory as a historic event, as we were the much abused Freshmen of Brady High. Our class was made up of ten green Freshmen. They were: Norma Fitz- gerald, Carol Freeman, Les Hodgson, Jim Hofland, John Laasch, Doris Mumm, George Mundy, Larry Oien, Marvin Thompson, and Rena Trost. We were sure we would never make it through our initiation into High School but we soon recovered and forged ahead. When we came back to school the next fall our forces were still as strong as ever, it was not until the second semester that we lost a member of our ranks. Carol Freeman left for the big city of Great Falls. A football team, band, and a Junior-Senior Prom was introduced to Brady High School at this time after an absence of several years, During our Junior year we still kept faith with our school and had quite a success with our Junior Prom. Now we are Seniors, dignified and aloof, strong in mind and unity. So we, the members of the class of 1959, go forth to take our places in the world, with the wisdom of four illustrious years in B.H.S. CLASS PROPHECY As I entered the plane at La Guardia Field to begin my trip to the 1969 Doctor's Convention in Rome, I was met by Doris Mumm who is now an air- line hostess for Inter-world Airlines. we chatted during the trip and she told me that she had recently seen John Lassch, Jim Hofland, and George Mundy who are making careers out of the Armed Forces. l told Doris about Marvin Thompson and Les Hodgson who are both farming south of Brady. They are now married and both are raising future grads of Brady High School. Les has three children and Marvin two. we also talked about Larry Oien who is a practicing veterinarian in the Pan- handle of Texas. Upon our planes arrival in Rome, Doris and I checked in at the U.S. Con- sulate and found Norma Fitzgerald there working as a private secretary to our country's ambassador. We three left together and had a happy reunion talking over the good times we had at the old Brady High School. Rena Trost Sponsored by PONDERA DRUG, Conrad
