14 T HE JUNIOR LIFE God to Mortals Hast thou but looked on a distant star, Or the spreading ocean, wide, afar, And wonder clutched your heart? Hast thou but seen the level land. And wondered e’en how God's own hand Could from his heavens part? Hast thou but wondered how or why The deep, fathomless sea or sl(y Could be so ruled by One? Hast thou but hoped that each mortal's soul At eve of life has reached its goal, And a new life begun? Hast thou the trust in sorrow and pain In Gods deliverance to say again, T believe, though said alone? Hast thou the faith in life and death To trust in God at thy last breath? Then thou art of his own. —Richard Turcott. Farewell to Bryant We are soon to leave this place, Our Bryant Junior High, And we must leave it all behind When we bid it good-bye.

And when we lool{ bac!{ to the past When we are on in years, We may remember Bryant High, Our joys there and our tears. —Harvey Carlson.

THE JINK) R L I F E 13 Astounded at the miraculous rescue of Tonkawampus, the Sioux for an instant were paralyzed with fright; then as one man, they turned and made for their canoes, rushing blindly, madly to escape. The Sioux left the immediate vicinity as sacred to the Chippewa and left that great nation to mourn its deceased hero. —Donald Sanford. The Young Knight and the Beautiful Maiden A sturdy Young Knight was seeking adventure in true knightly manner. Upon climbing a Hill in a land not unlike the garden of Eden he espied a beautiful maiden sitting on a bank covered with Moss. Seeing him she cried, “I beg thee, Sir Knight, Grant me a boon. I am lost and in need of help.” The Knight was Quick and, leaping Down from his horse, he lifted her in his arms to his place on his steed. They journeyed on until they reached the Mason House at the joining of two Brooks. This, he explained, was the castle of his uncle, Sir Shaw. The next morning the Cook prepared a wonderful breakfast for them. After it was Eaton, they wandered down to the Mills on the edge of the river. From there they went West Overland and met a Shoemaker who told them that his daughter Evelyn was stolen and that he was offering a Ransom. They went over Moore and Lee until they met a Page. He told them that he had seen a suspicious-looking character who reminded him of a Wolfe. He said that this man went into a Brown gloomy-looking House that stood on Roseland with a girl. As they opened the door and went into the Hall, the Wick of a candle flickered. At this news the Knight and the Shoemaker went to the House and saw a man beating a beautiful girl. The Shoemaker immediately recognized his daughter and shot down the kidnapper. The Good Knight was charmed by the beauty of her Long golden hair and lovely blue eyes. He confessed his love for her under the shade of a large spreading Bush. They were wed in the twilight of a lovely June day while a minstrel played and the castle Bell pealed joyously for all to hear. 9A Inventory Room Fair Co-Ed Student Prince Personality-Plus Class Clown 101 Betty O'Brien...Donald Knight.......Marion Bell........Bill Schmidt 104 Eufamic Martie ... .Bradley Skccls....Shirley Schcrvcn .

THE JUNIOR LIFE 15 Glory in the Highest I have seen the mighty cities, The stately ships at sea, And the grandeur of the artist Of high nobility, I have seen some great inventions, And some inventors, too; Have seen some grand old worlds of art, And sailed the ocean’s blue. But the grandest piece of beauty Seen by a mortal eye Is the sunset on the mountains, The glory of the sl{y. —Bill Anderson. • • Rain Here comes the rain. Dancing on the window pane, All the drops loof{ the same, See the rain I Watering all the plants and flowers, Seeping into nool(s and bowers, Malting pleasant little showers, See the rain I It fills the air with little drops, Will it never, never, stop? Waters all the farmer's crops, See the rain! To maf(e the flowers a pretty sight, To mal{e the farmer's crops grow right, To give health and joy so bright, God sends rain! —Betty Lou Neese. The Aeroplane Up in the sl(y flying so high Soars a great bird O'er the city. With its giant wings It zooms and sings With a monotone For its ditty. —Kathryn Swedenborg, 9A.
