12 ' JUNIOR LIFE The boys have been paid many fine compliments by musical critics. They have boosted Bryant by singing at several important occasions. 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:
