TIIE JUNIO R LIFE 35 Bradley Skeels and Violet Johnson. The maidens danced the dance that Mrs. Boylan had taught them. We roasted marshmallows and the medicine man, Earl Broms, closed the meeting. When we spoke of returning home, we were told that we might have an airplane piloted by Brave Boh Hillberg. With such a wonderful close to our adventure, though weary and somewhat sore, we could not but feel that we had had a wonderful, interesting trip. • • Analyze Yourself By spelling out your name with the following alphabet you will see yourself as others may or may not see you.

A Trip to a Reservation While we were on our vacation, my old schoolmate, Pat, and I decided to take a trip, Indian fashion, exploring the north country around Mille Lacs. We were dressed excellently for rambling through bushes and mud. As we neared the beginning of our trail, to our astonishment we saw a beautiful new large reservation on the water’s edge. We inquired concerning our path at the information bureau, only to be greeted by Heap Big Chief Ray Strate dressed in all the regalia of his office. After a little talk we secured two guides. Brave Bill Anderson was to show us the path and Frank Francisco, because of his strong muscle secured while exercising at Bryant, was to portage our canoe. We paid them well and gave an extra tip as they said they had to make their own living. Scrambling through the underbrush, bushes and thickets we thought of the wonderful gifts of Nature with her rolling hills, beautiful lakes, and bracing air. We glided over the water just as the sun was coming over the horizon. It was the ideal time for fishing. We saw Chief Catch-’Em Dan Knight and Carlton Mills fishing to secure food for their next meal. Somehow our canoe became entangled in some weeds, but two fair maidens came to our rescue. T hey were none other than Lois Eisenberg and Betsy Bullis. When we stepped ashore with them, they urged us to take a tramp with them through the woods. Just then a deer ventured down to the lake’s edge to drink. By the time we had reached our starting point, we were hungry and asked where we could get something to eat. We were informed that they had a b(x th where tourists were served. Who was the chef, do you suppose? None other than Chief Earl Larson. He wore over his Indian suit a clean, pressed apron and a headdress prepared by the laundresses Maxine Porter and Norma Trotter. His assistants were Wesley Hokanson, and Carl Magnuson. We ordered a hamburger sandwich but decided that they needed more skilled labor as our meat was only half-fried. In the afternoon a bow and arrow contest between five maidens and five braves was to be held. We wouldn’t have missed it for anything. The maidens were Amelia Nelson, Evelyn Anderson, Kathryn Swedenberg, Nancy Cole, and Katherine Underwood. Surely with these wonderful marksmen they ought easily to defeat the braves who were Kenyon Rasmussen, John Nyborg, Don Palmerstein, John Ryan, and Wesley Lindahl. It was a very close contest with the maidens coming out victorious for once over the braves. In the evening we were to be guests around a campfire. Here Chief Feather Head, Winn Brown, was to be in charge. Stanley Sonomore had a few too many wise-cracks and he had to be put out of the meeting. Then the ceremonial dance was to be performed. It was led by

36 THE JUNIOR LIFE What Bryant Needs 1. More study periods 2. Recess 3. Fewer of Mrs. Warner’s after school parties 4. Longer lunch periods 5. A taller Gladys Wilson 6. Bigger and better graduation 7. Red flannel uniforms 8. Modernistic desks There was once a good care-free 9A Whose school-days were usually gay, But when promotion time came, Much to the fellow's shame, In his fine school the hoy had to stay. A fellow in school loved to roam. In study hall never was kjiown, But there came the time And for that same crime Detention room became his home. There once was a student of muscle Who from others his lessons would rustle. But when tests came around, On each one he frowned And was in for an unhappy tussle. Do You Know 1. That the Leviathan weighs ten tons less directly under the moon at low tide? 2. That an ice-boat sails faster than the wind that blows it? 3. That Texas has an out-board motorboat race track out on the prairie ten miles from the nearest lake? 4. T hat banana oil has no banana oil in it but only smells like it? 5. That the courthouse clock has no numbers on it, only bars of iron? 6. That the Empire State Building is a lightning rod for all the other buildings around it? 7. That a perfect vacuum contains: carbondioxide, argon, xehon, neon, helium, crypton, and many other gases? 8. That lightning puts nitrogen into the soil thereby increasing the grade of the soil? 9. That ice-cream increases the heat of the body?
