38 THE JUNIOR LIFE A Visit to the Indian Country While visiting in the Indian country we first visited the Jumping Snakes where Donald Brady was chief. We arrived just after a hunt. A group of Indians including Bruce Nelson, Harold Martcnson, Lyle Samuelson, and Edward Lewis were bringing in several deer. We were informed that the medicine man was James Beatty. Several squaws were seen and we recognized a few of them. Nan Pemberton, Grace Shantz, Amy Tharaldson, and Virginia Munger. The next tribe visited was the Howling Coyotes. We were greeted by two of the chief warriors of the tribe, John Ryan and Edward Erickson. A dance was being held to worship the Sun. A few of the participants were Lucille West, Donna Hogan, Betty Lou Neese, Robert Phillips, and Carleton Mills. The chief, Jack Kenaston, informed us that these dances occurred every four months. We were directed to the Flying Rabbit tribe by John Kiklas where we were warmly welcomed by Cyril Eggum, the chief. We renewed our peace pledge by smoking the pipe with Robert Anderson, George Ryan, and John Solberg. As we left for home the last sound we heard was Carlyle Jacobson’s song to the moon. 1.

THE JUNIOR LIE E 37 Our Swimming Class Confusion reigned in the locker rooms but nobody got wet as the first period class crowded in. Above the racket Amelia Nelson’s voice could be heard yelling for Marion Bell. The faces of Ruth Chute and Phyllis Smith were puckered up in dismay because their little white lies wouldn’t excuse them from swimming. T he girls were nearly through with their showers when Mrs. Boylan’s whistle was heard summoning them for inspection. Splash! — in plunged all the girls except Betty Lou Neese, who lingered lovingly by the rails of the pool trying to pluck up enough courage to jump in. Betty Young was sent from the pool in gales of laughter as she couldn't control her mirth after Ada Olson’s dive. After twenty minutes of swimming and diving the girls were sent scurrying to the shower rooms to get dressed. Virginia Gould was having a great time trying to get close enough to the mirror to comb her hair. Lorraine Bush could be seen dashing around the locker rooms trying to find where the detention room was to be for the last bell had rung. We don't blame Mrs. Boylan for giving a sigh of relief as Leanore Olson, Frances Brennan, Donna Hogan, and Violet Johnson hurry out at the last. What Would We Do 1. If we had school on Saturdays; 2. If there were no gym periods; 3. If there was a law against talking in the halls; 4. If the girls were all on one floor and the boys on another, the 7B’s on the third floor; 5. If there were no auditorium periods; 6. If we had two math, periods a day; 7. If we had no library; 8. If the Junior Life Stall were all sick; 9. If we were always caught reading our favorite story books; 10. If we had no Christmas vacation; 11. If the Odyssey were twice as complicated; 12. If we had to memorize five hundred lines for memory work; 13. If we couldn’t go to the store after lunch; 14. If the lunch room staff gave us poor lunches; 15. If we had no clubs; I think we would all be very much bored with education. One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.

My little sister, age 3, was combing Daddy’s hair. Standing behind him she presently said, “Why, Daddy, your neck is dirty. You just come back and see if it isn’t.” I was sitting on the porch with Sister Jean and a neighbor girl. Margaret asked Jean if she was ticklish and Jean said, “No, I’m Protestant.” Daddy asked Jean if she wanted to go to the Park and play horseshoe and Jean gravely said, “Arc you going to use mv new shoes, Daddy?”
