A scholar, as we know, is one who is under instruction. Young men and young women of today realize as never before, the importance of an education. So apparent are its advantages that even the uneducated can realize it. During the calendar year 1925. the city of Minneapolis, alone, spent approximately $9,165,000 on her public schools, and we are told that the value of the American Public School plant, that is. the grounds, buildings. and equipment, is more than two and one half billion dollars. Hence it is not difficult to realize what the American public thinks of the value of education. Neither is it difficult for one to realize the importance of Good Scholarship as one journeys toward the goal of an education. By scholarship do we mean marks or ratings in the various subjects studied, for instance. English, social science, mathematics? Yes. but we mean something bigger than this. Experience teaches us that the good scholar is the one who can be relied upon to do his best. Study the ratings or marks received by the students in a class and you will find that satisfactory marks in the subjects taught compare very favorably with the marks given in reliability. The good scholar does not necessarily get all A s or Bs. but he is the one who can be relied upon to do his best—even under trying circumstances. We go to school in order that we may be better equipped for the duties of life—in order that we may be better citizens. Let us never forget that this better citizenship to which we so hope to attain, fosters several qualities—chief of which are—Courage. Courtesy. Generosity, Reliability and Obedience. This better citizenship is only attained through the exercise of these qualities. Let us ever be fine and noble in our thoughts and actions. 'This above all to thine own self be true. And it must follow as the night the day Thou canst not then be false to any man.” 4 JUNIOR LIFE Class Officers George Ahern. President Harold Davidson. Secretaru Harry Palmer. Vice-President Dorothy Ann NIEDENFEUR. Treasurer Our President George Ahern, a well known character of our school, was re cntly elected president of our graduating class. He has spoken to us at various o'casons. He also was leader of the west side in our last paper sale. George came from the Bryant Elementary school and entered our Junior High School in the seventh grade. Since then he has learned to love our school and praises It whenever he has an opportunity to do so. When George was about ten years old he began to take very much interest in writing sport articles. He still likes to write about sports and hopes some day to be d sport editor lor some newspaper. Alter completing high school George plans to take up the study of journalism at the University. In him Bryant is losing ore of its best basketball players. We hope Georce will go out for sports at Central. Next fall we would like to see him playing on the Central Eleven. Some of the eighth grade-s think George would m .. e a good sprinter, seeing the way he sprints around the halls. Here's for success to our President of the January. 1925. class. OUR SECRETARY Harold Davidson who entered our school in the 7B came from the Bryant Elementary school. A few weeks ago Harold was e.ecteJ secretary of our JANUARY. 1926 5 graduating class. He is known to us as good sport and a good friend. He is never neglectful of his duties and is always willing to help. As Harold takes up his school duties at Central we all know he will be successful. As a good sportsman. Harold takes part in all his class sports. He is center on his room basketball team and shines in this position, because of his fighting spirit on the floor. We all wish Harold a great success in the future, and that he may some day be a great cartoonist, for this is his greatest ambition. No project at Bryant has been complete without a poster by Harold to advertise it. JAMES SAMPLE James Sample has been a prominent member of the orchestra for the three years he has been in this school. He played the piano in the orchestra at Bryant Elementary School before he came to the Junior High. He is a versatile musician and plays the viola and pipe organ besides the piano. It was his good fortune to study pipe organ last summer in Kentucky where he was visiting. At present he is playing in an outside orchestra composed of eight Bryant Junior High School boys. Those who suppose that a musician must needs be a person of one idea ought to watch James do some of his other stunts. He plays basketball with the Wesley Church team. He is a fine skater as well as tennis, baseball, and football player. He is a member of the 9A Hi-Y. JEANETTE LEE Jeanette Lee of room 308 is the captain of the 9A volley ball team. She came from St. Cloud to Minneapolis and has been in Bryant Jr. ever since it opened. She is now doing very excellent work conducting the 7B. 7A. 8B and sometimes 9A gym classes during Mrs. Hurd's absence. We will miss Jeanette on the volley-ball team, gym and classes and hope she will not forget us. If she performs her work at Central as well as here, (which we are sure she will) she will be welcome. HARRY PALMER Harry Palmer from room 1 29. the vice-president of the Senior class, who is leaving us this January, came from Horace Mann school when Bryant Junior was first opened. He carries many honors with him. He has two 'B's.“ one for track and one for basketball. Harry is also business manager of the room teams and plays on 1 29’s basketball team. We will be sorry to lose Harry. He is an all around athlete, is almost as good in the school shops and his studies as he is on the athletic field. JAMES KERNS J- mes Kerns came to Bryant as a seventh grader from Horace Mann. Even at this time he had been a leader in the athletic sports of that school. This liking tor sports has continued and Bryant knows him as a fine player in baseball. football and basketball. He is captain of the basketball team of Room 1 29. In swimming and diving he is among the best. But Jimmie does not limit his leisure activities to sports alone: he has made for himself a fine record in the Boy Scouts. He is senior patrol leader in one of the best known troops in the city. Troop 71. He is the troop bugler and won fourth place in the Scout bugling contest. James is well liked by his classmates because of his fair play, fine sportsmanship and also because of his good natured disposition. 6 JUNIOR LIFE DOROTHY ANNE NIEDENFUEHR Dorothy Anne Niedenfuehr. treasurer of the January class of 1926. is considered by her friends, classmates and teachers, a lovable, true and dependable girl. Though very small in size her mental and social gifts are great. Sht has been a prominent member in all the activities of the class and the school. Among other things she took an important part in the class play and was a member of the G. A. A. The readings which she has given on various occasions, when called upon by the school, were enjoyed by all because of the unaffected and pleasing way in which they were given. Though she will be missed at Bryant we are sure that at Central her modest ways and high standards will do credit to the school she is now leaving. CARL TENGLER Carl Tengler has been an exceedingly good scholar in Bryant Junior High School during his school days here. He has sung with the Glee Club and with the Boys’ Quartette at our various entertainments. This quartette sang at the Fathers’ and Sons' Entertainment, and on this occasion Carl was chairman of the evening. For the past three years he has been president of the McCreery Club of the Hi-Y. He has been a leader in sports, cheer leader, president of the student officers’ organization, and of the Boys' Club, besides his musical activities. ROSELYN NOEL A Bryant Elementary pupil, who has worked her way up to the 9A class and is now a well known student of Bryant Junior High School. She is the president of the Girls' Athletic Association. She is very popular with the girls of the latter association and often goes on hikes or plays ball with them. ‘ We all wish her success in her future years of school work in whatever school she may attend. A WARNING!! Today you all are living a happy life of fun But you'd better start to set your pace For your life work to be done. Good friends, please take this good advice.— For advice, you know, is free. And many a person has failed in life When in time they’ve failed to see That never a ship went out of port Without its course. Should we? And too. good friends, when thinking u- Of the course you’ll follow through. fl You’d better see if you can say. When vou bid the world adieu. “I’ve done my duty to myself And to my fellow men.'' , And that, if asked, you’d answer. “I’d do the same again.” SCHOOLMATES TOGETHER Farewell to you. all good friends in 9A! We’ve been schoolmates together for many a day. Though we shall not see vou until next September Our friendship keeps glowing just like a live ember. JANUARY. 1926 7 9A MEMORIAL The 9A Class of January, 1926, are leaving seven fine pictures to decorate the various 9A rooms. The money for these pictures represents the proceeds of their class entertainment, given Friday evening, January 15, 1926. The subjects are as follows: The Beautiful Forest - Franz Frankl The Meadow Brook - Franz Frankl Lake in the Woods - W. Leistikow Avenue of Birches - L. Sorenson Early Spring - - - - J. Gleich In Full Sail H. Petersen Autumn IN FULL SAIL A very beautiful and striking painting which will be admired by all lovers of the sea is entitled “In Full Sail.” It is one of the seven pictures left us by the 9A's. Plowing her way through the waves is an old vessel which seems to be taking full advantage of the wind in order to reach port on time. She probably belongs to a string of merchant vessels, for in the distance are two more of these old sea dogs making in the same direction. The sun seems to be slightly obscured by the clouds which adds a beautiful tint to the ocean waters. The sight of this picture gives one a thrill and almost makes him wish it were true. THE LONELY CHURCH At first glance something seemed out of harmony with nature, and yet on second glance it wasn't. It looked like some little, brown jug left by accident by a genii. It was a small, brown, desolated church. It wore an air of gloom and dejection. An ancient door hung on rusty hinges. It looked not unlike a huge mouth in a perpetual frown. There was a feeling of mystery around it. Oh! If only it could have spoken, what tales it might have told of gay weddings and of solemn funerals! A steeple, whose brazen-voiced bell would call no more, looked dejectedly down from its perch on high. All around it hung, like a huge, gray, death shroud, an atmosphere of deep, insufferable solemnity. I now turned my gaze to the church yard. In front of it. half standing, half reeling, stood the aged hitching post like some drunkard. The wood, worn smooth by countless generations of horses, shone like metal. I then walked around to the back. There a ramshackle, white-washed fence enclosed a small grave yard. It was overrun with weeds. Many of the graves had sunk and tombstones had toppled over. Such an air of awfulness pervaded it that my nerves were on edge. 1 would not have been surprised to have seen the ghost of a long-departed soul point its long, bony hand at me and command me to quit bringing my worldly air into this final resting place. 8 JUNIOR LIFE Such an air of depression hung about it that it seemed hard to breathe. Turning about I hurriedly departed and did not breathe freely until I had turned in upon the road. A TERRIFYING MOMENT I am going to relate an amusing but dangerous accident that happened to me in the school swimming pool one day last year. I could not swim, so I'd jumped off the edge of the pool where the water was shallowest, to do my first trying. Finally I decided to jump into deeper water, and jump I did. To my surprise, as well as to my dismay. I found the water over my head. I tried to scream but the water choked me. I stretched my hands upward, waving them frantically and the teacher soon saw me. She quickly ran and got a fish pole, and the first thing I knew it was in my hands, and 1 was being drawn out of the water. I shall never forget that terrifying moment under the water, while I gasped for breath and wondered if anyone would see me. My chum teases me now and says, “The teacher certainly pulled a big fish out of the pool that time!” We all had a good laugh afterwards, but as I went out of the room. I looked back to see how much water was left in the pool. It seemed to me I had swallowed most of it. A BLIZZARD It was a bleak day in the early part of the first month. The morning had been exceedingly dark and dreary, and the wind was blowing at a terrific rate. Later in the day the wind grew in its velocity and. in addition, white crystals began to descend. On descending the flakes were immediately transformed into a whirl of seemingly small flying bits of glass. As night drew nigh, the storm abated to a certain degree. But the crystals continued to be tossed about by the wind until the next day. At its dawning the blizzard had subsided leaving drifts of the diamond-like forms all over the country. SPORTS During the past year at Bryant many sport activities have taken place. The boys have been under the supervision of two able physical training teachers. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Anway. The first thing on the sport calendar was the tennis tournament. There were seventy boys competing in the contest, in which Vincent Orfield, champion of the 9B, lost to Stanley Burdick, champion of 9A and the school. The next was the soccer contest in which the 7th and 8th grades competed. Room 21 1 won the 7th grade, and Room 206 the 8th. Also some boxing matches were held among the students, of which Carl Tengler’s bout with Joe Shields was the most interesting. Tengler was a slight favorite. There have been held, during the past term, life saving and diving classes after school. Among our divers, James Kerns. John Cotton, and Frank Neun-singer are conspicuous. There has been keen competition between the rooms about the basketball games and those playing on the winning team will receive letters. The G. A. A., as everyone knows, is a girls' athletic association. The girls that enter sports and play a certain number of games, such as soccer or volley ball, earn a designated number of points. A small B is given to members who have earned one hundred points. A large B is given for five hundred points. Points may be added by hiking, skating, life-saving, folk-dancing, baseball, and track in the spring.

A. A. has now a regular organization and has the following officers: Roselyn Noel, president; Evelyn Lindquist, secretary; Helen Hoel, vice-president and Marybelle Christensen, treasurer. The organization has had some good snappy parties, enjoyed by all who attended. Every girl in school should be a G. A. member. THE ORCHESTRA Our school is proud of the whole music department. The orchestra is an organization of which we feel we have a right to be proud. There are really two orchestras, a junior orchestra and a senior orchestra. The less experienced players go into the junior orchestra. Frequent try-outs are held to test the ability of the different players. When a player does well enough he may be promoted from the junior to the senior orchestra. At the beginning of this term we had a perfect symphony as far as the strings were concerned. The orchestra has had many opportunities to play over the radio and elsewhere. Miss Anderson. Mr. Giddings. and numerous guests have gladdened our hearts by their generous praise. The 9A members of our musical organizations will be missed, for they have worked hard to uphold the standard. We shall miss Allen Berg’s violin as well as his conscientious work behind scenes. James Sample is a wonder on the piano. He outdoes his name. too. for he gives us more than a sample of good music. Wait! I almost forgot Jim plays the viola, too. We are to lose the other half of our trombone section. There are only two in the school, and whom do you suppose we are to lose? It is Claron Rieke. Glendale Johnson will be a loss to our cornet section. We wish him well when he gets to Central. Then there is Bob Dahl, of cello fame. Nick Soteraplos and Louis Brown, violinists, and last but not least. Lawrence Johnson, the saxophone. We all thank the orchestra members for the good work they have done. BRYANT JUNIOR HIGH BAND One of the latest organizations of the Bryant Junior High school, which is proving to be most enjoyable to all concerned is the Bryant Junior Band. At present there are forty members whose enthusiasm can be judged by the splendid work which they have been able to put on under the leadership of Mr. La Berge. The band meets three times a week during home activity period, giving them a short period for practice. On Wednesday evening the boys meet with Mr. La Berge for a good practice from 7:30 to 9:00 o'clock. The band, while it was only organized last May. already has a good supply of cornets, clarinets, trombones, a bass horn, alto horn. French horn, flutes, saxophones, a mello-phone and drums. New instruments are being added regularly and as soon as possible we arc very anxious that our band will be able to appear in their splendid uniforms. THE BOYS' GLEE CLUB The Boys’ Glee Club is one of the organizations in our school of which we are very proud. 10 JUNIOR LIFE The 9A Class o: Class Motto:—The Noblest Lesso Aacn. Palmer Ackerman.

They sang for the music section of the Minnesota Educational Association, proving to many skeptical supervisors of music that boys like to sing. The boys made a fine record of attendance on this occasion for it was a holiday, and every member was present, except one who was ill. They appeared before the Older Boys’ Christian Conference, which is under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. and was held in the Jefferson Junior High School. They have sung over the radio and at various school assemblies and entertainments. The singing of the Christmas Carols in the corridors gave pleasure, and helped to create the Christmas spirit in the building. Their next engagement is with the Parents and Teachers’ Association of Louis Agassiz School. The Glee Club has a membership of fifty-six. of which three, Carl Teng-ler, Raymond Martin, and James McCracken, are 9A’s. These three boys are the veterans of the Club, having been members since its organization in 1923. The Club has meant so much to them that they urge all boys to get into it. keep it going forever, and sing out gay chords for Bryant. Carl. Raymond, and James express their best wishes, and the best of luck for the Boys’ Glee Club of 1926. JUVENILE CIVIC CLUB The Juvenile Civic Club was organized last fall by Mr. Youinans. one of the men of our community. The purpose of this club is to teach the boys to spend their leisure time profitably. When only two months old the club gave an entertainment which was a great success. Nearly two hundred attended it. The club has grown from fourteen members to thirty members with many on the waiting list. In a recent election Wilbur Olson, of last year's class from Bryant Junior High, was elected president. Ralph Barger, now in our school, was the club's former president. THE BOYS’ CLUB The Boys’ Club of Bryant Junior High, which includes every boy in the school, has already proved its value since its recent organization. It has only one officer, the president. A shoit time ago it was decided that we should hold a Fathers' and Sons night at the school. The plan was carried out and was surely a success. Those who took part showed the Fathers things we do at Bryant. The Boys' club is losing a good number of its members because of graduation and will need new members to carry on the work. 7'he 9A’s would always like to feel the Club is still continuing and improving so as to the new pupils of the school, be as much benefited as they have been. 9A ENTERTAINMENT The mid-year entertainment given by the Nine A class on Friday evening, January 15. was a splendid success. The program consisted of two one-act plays. “Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works. and “Six Who Pass While the Lentils Boil.” Musical numbers were provided by the Glee Clubs as well as by a double male quartette and a Nine A bass chorus. A group of seventh graders gave several Folk Dances. The cast of characters in “Mrs. Jarley’s Wax Works consisted of: JANUARY. 1926 13 Mrs. Jarley. Edith Odegard: Mrs. Saunders, her assistant. Myrtle Maxwell; Little Nell. Dorthy Ann Niedenfuehr: Nell’s grandfather. Frank Neunsingcr; Peter, Nick Maroosis: John. Albert Nelson; Christopher Columbus, Larkin McLellan: Father Time.

Richard Brindmore: Rip Van Winkle. Curtis Hart wig: Bo Peep, Marion Harstad; King Alfred, Lawrence Johnson; Robin Hood. Kenneth Arneson. In “Six Who Pass While the Lentils Boil. those taking part were: Prologue, Kenneth Bradford; You (in the audience), Robert Wiley; The Boy, Delwyn McNamara; The Queen, Mary Spooner; The Mime, Hayne Thompson; The Milkmaid. Maxine Morken; The Blindman. Roy Qstbye: The Ballad Singer. Oliver Faaborg: The Headsman. Harold Davidson. The entire program was well given and was very entertaining. The house was well filled. Two hundred dollars net was made by the class. This sum is being used to purchase pictures for several of the class rooms. Mr. A. L. Kelly, president of Teachers' College. Sidney. Australia, visited our school Tuesday and Thursday of last week. He has been making a study of public school music, both in Europe and America. He was kind enough to compliment music work in Bryant Junior High.

JANUARY. 1926 15 ,-x -er- 4 fS EXCHANGES □ □0 £3 ® IS jfL ODD Few readers of the Bryant Times realize what a large and ever growing Exchange List we have, or just what the Exchange means. The word Exchange almost explains itself. The Times is sent to various junior high schools all over the United States. In exchange these schools send their papers to the Bryant staff. -- On the Exchange List of the Times are the names of about one hundred twenty periodicals. Some of them are as follows: The Northern Light. Cordova. Alaska: The Tiger's Cub. LaJanta, Colorado: The O'Keefe Log. Atlanta. Georgia: The Periscope. Salem. Oregon: The Richmond Eagle. Atlantic City. New Jersey: and over a hundred others, all edited and written and printed by juniors just like yourselves, anxious to make their papers as fine as possible. We also exchange with schools in our own city and state. Most of these newspapers maintain an Exchange Column in which they comment on the periodicals they receive. For instance, in The Bugle. a Duluth paper, edited by Robert Bostwick. formerly of the Bryant Junior High, we see a comment on our thrift column, and our thrift poems quoted. The Mirror. of Norfolk. Virginia, thanks us in its Exchange Column for our last issue. In our column we shall comment on our exchanges, taking a few at a time, since the list is so long. You can have an interesting and profitable hour by getting a few of the Exchanges from the Print Shop and finding out what other boys and girls are doing along this line. Your editor and staff are anxious to receive constructive criticism, and will welcome suggestions left with them in writing. Boost .for the Bryant Times. Put up your hammer, and get out your horn!

Ten men sprang to their places and came to a swift attention before his severe scrutiny. There was a tense silence—no word was uttered. He calmly passed down the row of uniformed men standing at attention. Then with a sudden energy he flung off his hat. threw off his coat, and cast off his collar. He swung around, he faced the waiting line. His face was dark and his glance keen and stern. He picked his man. He advanced with a firm but cautious tread. He stopped two feet away. In a low voice, full of meaning, he said. “I want a shave and hair cut. Albert Nelson: I am always breaking into song. Mrs. Angel!: Well! If you got the key you wouldn't have to break in. Mr. Paulson: For goodness sake, be careful with that gun! You just missed me.” George Ahern: ‘To awfully sorry. Barbara Kreis: Been losing flesh lately, haven't you?” Allen Berg: Yeah. I bought a new trick safety razor. Mr. Paulson: This is the third time you've looked on James Sample's paper. Jeanette Lee: Yes Sir. he doesn't write very plainly. Harold Davidson: Do you like codfish balls? Hazel Swartz: “I don't know because I never attended one. Alice Nelson: Are you going to the fair? George Ahern: What fair? Alice Nelson: The paper says.

J; HARDAKER Principal of Bryant Junior High School JUNE. 1926 3 THE WANDERINGS OF A NEW STUDENT (Apologies to Homer) As soon as bright-throned morning came, a clear-eyed seventh-grader arose from his bed and spoke thus to his fair-haired mother, saying. “Prepare me with great speed, abundance of bread and rosy red fruit for my mid-day meal.” Then his mother did thus address him in winged words. “Thrice hast thou wakened me from deep slumber, disturb me not again. So saying she fell again into sweet sleep. Thus finding himself independent, this high-born son took it upon himself to find his goodly robe and tunic. Then forth from the bath he came, bearing himself like an immortal, set off for his first day at Bryant Junior High School. Upon his arrival, a deep guttural voice echoed from the spacious hallway saying. Ho. stranger, who are you? Where do you come from? Are you upon some business? Or do you rove at random, as the pirates roam the seas, risking their lives and bringing ill to others? As the 9A thus spake, the highborn son's very soul was crushed within him. dismayed by the heavy voice; nevertheless he answered thus and said: “O long-tried student. I am come in conquest of the large and well known swimming pool, neither am I seeking to do evil. “Come hither! cried the 9A student, so saying he led the way. When he came upon the quiet, green, limpid pool of water, his first impulse was to jump in, but upon second thought, so seemed it best to take a cooling shower first. Just after he had begun to swim around and his heart full with joy, along came the discreet chief and told him nay to tarry longer. Then this youth let fall a bitter tear from under his brows, but upon mentioning of food, he clambered eagerly from the water and did go in quest of the lunchroom. Then after dining, he did follow in his course and so sang with the famous bards. Hazel Donna Wallace. A NIGHT ON AN EXCURSION TRAIN My vacation in Chicago drew to an abrupt close when my unde broke the news that he was forced to go to Minneapolis that Friday night on business. As I was to have no companion on the train from that big city to this, it was soon decided that I should go with him. and before I realized what had taken place. I was on an excursion train, homeward bound. Since this was my first experience on such a car. my attention was soon drawn to the many odd types of people on board. One bent old woman seemed intent upon telling people’s fortunes with cards. She was very amiable and seemed always ready for conversation. I was very anxious to obtain a better view of the woman and my excitement was readily aroused when she drew three bejeweled hatpins from her broad- 4 JUNIOR LIFE brimmed hat. The removal of the hat revealed an untidy mop of iron gray hair caught here and there with tiny red ribbon bows. A group of young university men strummed on ukeleles and played mouth-organs as a lullaby to two wide-eyed babies who seemed to be enjoying their discordant tunes immensely. To most of the grown ups the gay boys were quite a nuisance and now and then I would hear someone groan and beg for relief. At dawn I awoke only to find the remainder of the passengers fast asleep. I viewed the sleeping figures with suppressed laughter for some, those who wore hats, were slouched in their seats with their dusty dilapidated hats set on at exceedingly grotesque angles. The babies were cuddled in soft blankets and were evidently sleeping soundly. Rows of feet hung limply over the arms of the chairs and dangled in the air. You may be sure that when they awoke I heard more than one complaint of feet that had gone to sleep. Bundles of coats and such articles served as pillows on that memorable night and as a result there was a succession of exclamations such as. “Oh. my neck!” or “Why, look! I can’t twist my neck any further than this!” The people, on the whole, were a wan and weary appearing lot by the time their destinations were reached. Mary Spooner. AT MY GRANDMOTHER'S It is three years since I have visited my grandmother s home in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, yet I can see it just as clearly now as though it had been but yesterday. The grandeur and beauty of those mountains has always cast a spell upon me. and I would not lor the world give up my memory of them. Her home is situated on a high knoll overlooking Kootenay Lake, a broadening of the Kootenay River. Seen from the back door the mountains loom up dark and stern with their summits far above us looking unattainable, while from the front door they are seen far across the lake, the sight of their snowy peaks making one shiver on a hot summer day. From their bases to their glaciers they are covered with fragrant green pines, not the kind seen in the city at Christmas time, but towering sentinels, whose gigantic size is but in proportion to their surroundings. As far as the eye can reach they stretch in a seemingly endless chain making one feel small and insignificant in comparison with the wonders of nature. At the foot of the hill lies a tiny lake, set like a jewel among these rough surroundings, and truly living up to its name. Mirror Lake, for on its surface delicate, hovering butterflies, and soft billowy clouds are so perfectly reflected that one is doubtful which is the reflection and which is the reality. Because of the extreme cold of some of the winters, wild flowers do not grow abundantly, but many species of beautiful birds make their home here in the spring and summer. It is three miles to the nearest town, but in the early spring this is a most delightful and educational walk. The road winds in and out among the mountains. and as you round each curve a new. and it seems, even prettier picture meets your eye. One moment you are fascinated by the beautiful plumage of some bird; the next you are exclaiming over the playful antics of a squirrel or chipmunk, or delighted by the picture of an old moss-covered slump, which looks as if it might have stood in that same place for hundreds of years. But before the end of the journey is quite completed, one crosses the most picturesque bridge I have ever seen. It spans a rushing torrent held in on either side by s o e walls overgrown with cool green moss, glistening in the sun as JUNE. 1926 5 the sprays of water fall upon it. About a quarter of a mile above it a new red bridge has been built, yet in my mind it will never replace that picturesque old bridge that 1 loved so well. Although the town is very pretty, spreading over the base of the mountains down to the edge of the bay. if I had my choice I should always pick my grandmother s home to live in. for to me it holds many things I could not find in town. If one should tire of these beautiful surroundings, although that seems impossible to me, there are many ways to amuse oneself. T he largest part of the upstairs is devoted to a billiard room, from which one gets a splendid view across the lake Fishing, hiking, swimming, camping, boating, and tennis in the summer and hunting, skating, skiing, tobogganing, and sleighing in the winter fill ore's days so completely with fun and happiness, that the very thought of leaving this beautiful fairyland fills o e with dismay. Marian Harris. t __________________ MY SCARLET FEVER CASE Everything was goin on in the usual way. The sun shone as bright as o;i any other day. But this wasn't true round our p!a;c. 'Cus I had a bad scarlet fever case. My body and head were terrible hot. And I was covered with little red spots: Everybody had a smile upon his face. Cept me. I had a bad scarlet fever case. I was as pale, and white as could be. Why they call it scarlet is more than I can see: I shook and trembled when the doctor showed his face. ’Cus I had a bad scarlet fever case. I always got everything I asked for. I must have been an awful bore: Everybody gave me plenty of space. Cus I had a bad scarlet ever case. I lay in bed six weeks or more. Just 'cus I'd something I didn't ask for, 'Twasn't much fun for me to face. ’Cus I had a bad scarlet fever case. Dorothy Michhalson. 306. THE PAPER SALE (After studying The Odyssey') Early rosy fingered dawn lifting from the earth’s eyes the shroud of night disclosed a scene of bustling activity. Small and large bundles of papers, like the feathers of a sea gull before a steady wind, slowly wound their way to Bryant Junior High School. Figures, some heavily burdened, others with chariots of all description all moved forward with one accord, and with hearts bursting with Ioval devotion towards their school. The sudden parting or a string sent a bundle of papers spinning to the ground, while a down-hearted but loyal lad once more tied and made them fast. 6 JUNIOR Lil t Approaching was a manly lad. who. noticing his comrade in dire straits, called forth, speaking thus. “Friend. I find thee deeply emburdened. Would not the help oi a comrade be welcome?” Out of the arms of his fellow brethren was lifted a bundle, far surpassing the others in size and weight. With eyes full of thanks and his sorrowing heart unburdened, the small boy trudged quietly along rejoicing to feel once more the tingling of bfood in his veins. At the end of their journey, he turned to thank his comrade. His friends replied saying. “Friend, it is not for yourself, but for your school that you give so freely of all your stores, and as your friend and comrade. 1 feel it my duty also to help.’ Arthur Carr. JIMMIE DECIDES By Marian Cinclair Oh. what is so great as a pirate to be. Always a’roamin' on the high sea Where there ain’t no school any day. For pirates always have their own way. Where there ain’t nobody to say. Wash your hands” Where you don't have to put on clean collar bands. Where there ain't no one to say. “James, watch your ain'ts.” Oh. this world is full of dreadful complaints! But I’ve heard pirates have their troubles too. There are many hardships they have to go through. They have to work hard both day and night, And bloody battles they do have to fight. They have to do dishes and scrub off the deck, And lots of times get killed in a wreck Well, come to think of it I'd rather stay At home and sleep comfortably than any old way. JUNE. 1926 7 OUR SWIMMING POOL SPORTS FOR BRYANT JUNIOR HIGH BOYS An unusually keen interest in sport has been shown by the boys of Bryant Junior High during the past year. We have been very fortunate to have Mr. Anderson and Mr. Anaway to direct the energy of the boys along these lines There were so many sports to enter that the boys have been kept busy the entire year. Last fall we started with a tennis tournament which was a great success. The first place was won by Stanley Burdick who also excelled in many of the other sports, and who carried away a beautiful silver cup as the spoils of his victories. At the same time soccer football games were being played by the 7th and 8th grade boys who showed great spirit. In these the winner for the 7th grades was Room 21 1 and for 8th grades Room 205. When the basket ball season opened even greater enthusiasm was shown by the boys. Every room had its representatives. Room 208 won the cham pionship for the ninth grades and 117 for the 8th grades. Good use has been made of the swimming pool and many tournaments were held in which competition has been keen. 208 won in this contest, also. Seven baseball teams were organized by the ninth grades and many games were played to decide the championship. Room 209 holds first place. Diamond ball was played in all grades. Great enthusiasm was shown by the seventh and eight grades while the ninth grades were keeping themselves busy with baseball. Many boys signed for golf tournament which was held at Glenwood golf links. Our horseshoe tournament was especially interesting because we have in our school the world’s champion boy horse shoe pitcher for 1925. Frank Stintson. Hand ball, a new game for the school, is one of the hardest and most difficult as it takes much energy and ability. Many boys practiced for it at Nicollet field. These facts will give you some idea of what the Bryant Junior High boys have done, are doing, and will do in 1926 to give Bryant Junior High a bigger standing in sports. Charles Keljik. 8 JUNIOR LIFE G. A. A. The Girls’ Athletic Association is as its name implies, an association made up of the girls who wish to participate in various sports.

Everyone then adjourned to the auditorium where a nice program was furnished which consisted of a Welcome by Marybelle Christensen, the president of the G A. A., and an interesting Color Pageant was given by the art classes which had a pleasing effect on all. Songs were sung by the audience, and a greeting by Mrs. Thorp which concluded the program. The lunch room, where delightful refreshment were served, was prettily decorated in red and white. Red and white sweet peas were given to each mother as a remembrance of Mother’s Day the following Sunday. Wilma Wallin and Virginia Nevius had been frantically trying to learn to play tennis.
