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 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.

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.
