Marbaher THE JUNIOR LIFE 5 LxHtoTLclL}- Life Goes On In January the present nine A class will leave Bryant. Well he taking one more step on the road of life. When we are gone, others will be here to fill our places. All we ask is not to he completely forgotten; that you who are left will remember the good in us, not the bad. Some of us have made mistakes, some are good, some are bad, but all are a part of the younger generation which is moving ahead ultimately to take the places now filled hv the youth of yesterday. Our remaining school days are comparatively short, so we must make the most of each day. We should prepare ourselves now for the grave responsibilities that we must shoulder perhaps only ten years hence. If we accept responsibilities now, we will be better girls and hoys and grow into finer men and women and he worthier successors to the work begun by each preceding generation. • • Just Around the Corner What a quaint phrase! That's where they say prosperity is. But just around the corner are also the many years ahead of the graduating class of January, 1933. In these years we will try our hand at many things, helping to run the government, through the ballot box if in no more direct way, and many responsibilities will rest upon us. Unemployment, war debts, and budget plans will probably have been taken care of and yet again they may not. There may be new ways of traveling, more scientific discoveries, new school systems, a greater discovery than either the radio or the telephone, and who knows but that it may be one of our own 9A's who will accomplish one or more of these things. If only there was some way of finding out what is just around the corner! Maybe we shall be able to find out at some future time. It is a mystery now and all we can do is to fit ourselves for it, whatever it may be, as best we can. • • Why the Depression? Depression! Panic! Unemployment! Poverty! Why do we have these things? What is the cause of them? That is what everyone is asking. Here is a Bryant pupil’s view on the matter. To me, depressions and panics are brought upon us by our own selfishness. Everyone is trying to see how much he can get for himself 6 THE JUNIOR LIFE of the country’s money and material things. He seems to think nothing of his neighbor. As long as he and his family are sheltered, fed, and clothed, all is well. But what about the family next door? Are they all right? Usually we don’t know our neighbors well enough to pick them out in a crowd. Hence, we don’t care a great deal about their welfare. Maybe, if we would work together more for the welfare of all and not so much for ourselves alone, we wouldn’t have depressions and so much poverty, and the results would be health, happiness, and international progress. Between Mother and Son Johnnie, a much discouraged boy (due to his report card revelations), has just entered his home. His mother, who is struggling with some rather hopeless stockings, is sitting in the far corner from the door through which Johnnie has just emerged. She notices his downcast countenance but says nothing. Johnnie goes immediately to his room where he remains for about five minutes. When this time has elapsed, he appears in the living room apparently very much enlightened. “O Mom, would you like to have me wash the dishes for you tonight ?” Utter surprise is very evident on his mother’s face but she controls it saying, “Why, I would be delighted. Thank you so much.'' There is a short pause. Johnnie breaks it with, “You see, 1 thought I would do it as long as Sis wants to go out so much. Anyway, 1 haven’t anything to do except homework. With this he left the room only to be brought back by his mother’s inquiry, “Oh say, Johnnie, wasn’t your report card due today? The boy’s hopes immediately crashed. A queer feeling is very prominent around the pit of his stomach. “Oh-er-yes. 1 did get it today. B-but it’s up in my room just now and I want to go skating with the kids. They are waiting for me. Mother’s response is very resolute. “I wish to see it now so that I can sign it before we forget it. “Aw gee, Mom; well, all right.” Slow, trudging footsteps are heard as he approaches his room, which is quite typically boyish. A few minutes later he rejoins his mother, report card in hand. He gives it an indifferent toss in his mother’s direction and hurries from the door. “I’ll be home for supper.” His mother recalls him. He returns very reluctantly and shows signs of discomfort. “1 see why you wanted to do the dishes so badly tonight. Tell your English teacher she can expect me tomorrow.” There you are now. What’s a fellow going to do in that case? —Ruth Aldrich T II E JUNIOR LIFE 7 Bryant Songsters Any person visiting Bryant Junior High would be delighted upon arriving at the third floor. From rooms 301 and 326 sweet strains of music are heard and as the door has been left open one can distinguish the words. “When the foeman hares his steel ' sings out the chorus of boys with lusty voices. The girls answer with, “Go, ye heroes, but the boys seem reluctant to leave. However, after a few more pleading phrases from the girls they decide to go and the song ends with gusto. But what is this we hear? “Go back to the top of the page, commands Mrs. Angell. So the song starts again after a long sigh from the front seat section, and again it finishes, but with greater vigor than ever. A hush comes over the class as it swings into the calmer tones of “Sweet and Low. Alas! There is a rude interruption. In the middle of this beautiful piece the sharp ring of the hell is joyfully accepted by the students. There is a loud slam of books and grins appear on every face. Another period is ended! —Solange Duvair. Hunting Honey in Texas My friend, Joe, who was a Mexican, had told me that in the swamps there arc many flowers that have some water in their blossoms. This sweetened water the bees like. We decided to find some of their honey made from these flowers. We found a swamp easily enough and also found the path the bees were following. To trail them through that thick undergrowth was a difficult problem. We lay down on our stomachs and crawled along under the dense growth of vine. All the time we had to keep our eyes on the bee path above. After two hours of crawling we came upon the comb. It was away up in a tree that had some queer sort of thorns that I thought would prevent my friend from going up. Joe told me to build a fire in a certain spot which he pointed out to me. I did as I was told, not having the slightest idea as to what I was building the fire for. After I had a good fire built, Joe came back with an armful of grass and a very long pole. He put the grass on the fire, almost putting it out; 8 TIIE JVNIO R L I F E then he sat down beside me and started explaining how we were to get the honey. When he had finished with his explanation we saw all the bees swarming around about ten feet from the comb. The smoke had risen surrounding the comb. The bees that could not stand the smoke had moved out. Joe then took the long pole and with one punch, knocked the comb to the ground outside the smoky area. He then dropped the pole, picked up the comb and stepped back into the smoke path for protection. If he had left it on the ground, the bees would have come and guarded it, preventing us from taking possession of our sweet find. About fifteen minutes later we stepped out of the smoke with not a bee in sight anywhere. It was easier going home that evening than it had been coming because Joe had found a road nearby that led to the'clearing where our horses were picketed. We saddled them and journeyed homeward. This was one time when our sweet tooth had been satisfied. There was honey not only inside but outside as well. —Warren Weeks. Uninvited Footsteps We were camping in a secluded spot on a lonely mountain. The surrounding mountains had taken on a gray-blue color which is not unusual in the evening. Only a faint glow was visible as evidence of a slowly sinking sun. Against this stood huge pines, tall and sublime. Pink and gray feather clouds rested peacefully in the western sky. In the east a few early stars began to twinkle. The wind had ceased to blow; hence, there was not a ripple on beautiful Lake Louise. The last glowing embers of a dying fire were to be seen in front of our camp. A wolf’s howl in the distance; mellow tones of a guitar from a gypsy camp a little way down the mountain side. Twilight fell. The moon rose and sent a silvery sheen over everything. It was exquisite. My family, including my parents, brother John, and myself, decided it was time to go to bed and departed to our tents. In bed I happened to think that neither Mother nor I had fastened the tent door. Any intruder who found it desirable might enter. I was too excited to think further on that subject and discarded it from my mind. Suddenly I heard a twig snap; then more twigs and leaves crackled. What could it be? Footsteps? Coming closer—closer! It sounded like two persons. By increased distinction I decided the steps were within five feet of the tent. The visitor had now reached our shelter and was circling it. I heard it brush against the canvas wall. 1 was altogether too frightened to scream. My hands were like icy needles on my burning face. THE JUNIOR LIFE 9 Now the steps were in front of the tent. I glanced at the door. To my extreme horror, it was moving hack and forth. Two black, furry paws appeared. Then a fuzzy nose! I closed my eyes, too horrified to look. A minute later 1 opened them again. To my utter amazement a big black hear was standing just inside the door. He was about four feet from me and coming closer. It seemed that he walked slowly just to prolong whatever harm he intended to bestow upon me and to provoke the highly nervous condition I was already in. What would he do? Now he was next to my head. He opened his mouth displaying his large white teeth. There he stood, it seemed to me hours, but in reality it was only about thirty seconds. Apparently he had made up his mind what to do and raising his paw he struck me a blow on the head which sent me headlong out of bed. The next minute I found myself sitting on the ground with bedclothes wrapped around me in a very uncomfortable manner. But there was no bear. I had been dreaming! It was broad daylight. A hurried glance around the enclosure disclosed to me that Mother’s cot and all the clothes, save those that 1 was to wear, were gone. The voices of my brother and parents who were busily packing for the day’s journey were a source of welcome surprise to me. The tent was open and through it I could see the sky. It was summer blue. The sun was literally pouring forth its rays to all living things. On the mountains across from us I could see the rich green pines. Birds were singing their merry greetings. Squirrels and chipmunks scampered joyously about. Rich masculine voices and mellow feminine voices were heard singing to the accompaniment of the afore heard guitar as the gypsy band ascended the mountain. Everywhere there seemed to be an abundance of life—happy life. My heart leaped at the approach of this glorious day and to my mind came these familiar words: God's m His Heaven, All's right with the world. —Ruth Aldrich. Did You Know— The rays of the sun take eight and a half minutes to reach the earth ? Flies have their taste organs in their feet? An ape has thirty-two teeth and a garden snail has 1400? A shark is the only fish that can blink its eyes? An eel has two hearts, one in iis tail and the other near its head? 10 THE JUNIOR LIFE Class Will We, the 9A class of fanuary, 1933, being of sound mind and body (supposedly) do hereby will and bequeath to the remainder of the students in Bryant the following items: 1. The echo of laughter following one of Boh Hanson's jokes. 2. The excuses as to why we failed to finish our homework. 3. The hope that the next class will have another Arnold Jensen. 4. We bequeath our principal and teachers to the care of the future classes with a plea for mercy. 5. To all ambitious and those not so ambitious art students we leave the art tables and the chairs that tip back. 6. To the seventh and eighth grade girls we cheerfully leave the stoves in the cooking room that have to be cleaned once a week. 7. To all we sadly leave Miss Farnam's cheerful smile and laugh. 8. To all 9B’s we leave the misery of an auditorium period when the first period homework isn't done. 9. This being our last will and testament we hereby reject all claims to the cheerful (?) hours after school in the detention room. 10. To the school in general we leave the memory of Jean Calhoun’s sweetness, Betty Swedenborg’s pep, Evelyn Meyer’s smile, Dorothy Ahern’s enthusiasm, Anna Marian Thompson’s sense of humor, and Maurine McCaskill’s popularity. 11. To the boys we leave the hope that they may follow in our f x t-steps and have Newton Ambli’s skill at track. Bill Schoepf's curly hair, Allan Bjerke’s brains, and Lynn Pclton’s smile. 12. To those who like sweet things we leave the memory of Audrey Shorbund’s singing, Florence Collin’s charm, and Marcelle Bred-vold's shyness. 13. To all non-swimmers in Mrs. Boylan’s classes we leave the privilege of lying on the pool-room floor and trying to kick vigorously. 14. To all whom this may concern we leave the warning not to chew gum in classes as it’s seldom successful. 15. Much as we dislike to wc must part company with the swimming pool, leaving it to our successors in the fond hope that they may appreciate it. 16. To all swimming and diving fans we leave practically unbeatable records established by Ethel Kerns, Dorothy Ahern, Mary Jane Farley, Tom Hopfenspirger, John Engquist, and Robert Bouchicr. 17. To the admirers of curly hair we give one glance at Mary Owen, Vincent Cole, Bernadine Mason, Clark Hummel. 18. To all lucky 9B’s we leave those welcome study periods. 19. To all students wc leave the seats we have used for so long with the advice not to use them after school too much. They need a rest after school as much as you do. THE JUNIOR LIFE 11 20. Donald Underwood’s athletic records for some other star to break. 21. James Collier's musical ability to any young maestro with strong lungs. 22. Memories of Audrey Shorbund’s musical voice. • • HONOR ROLL Beginning this year new requirements have been established for judging those eligible for the Honor Roll. “A” is considered as worth 3, “B” 2, and “C” 1. To win recognition the average of the four academic subjects must be at least 2.3. The following pupils have made that rating and thus deserve commendation.

He is the announcer of station B.J.H.S., a second Harlow Wilcox. “The first number,” Fred announced, “of the Kueken Candy program will be a popular number sung by the Boswell Sisters, and up stepped Florence Collins, Maurine McCaskill, and Mary Jane Farley. Imagine my surprise. There was also a snappy dance orchestra directed by James Butler. The orchestra played “When Will I See You Again? It reminded me of the detention room. When the orchestra finished Fred announced the winners of the last week’s candy contest. Christine Katches took first place and Clifton Olson second. Some people have all the luck. The next program we heard came from Chicago over a nation-wide hook-up and whom should we hear but Audrey Shorbund, the famous singer. Myrt and Marge still comes to us but the parts are taken by different characters. They are none other than Rosemary Kelly and Margaret Skogland. The radio news was very good that evening because it was given by Herman Bloom. Some of the interesting items were that Shirley Steward was the champion woman swimmer, and that the Yankies with Donald Swanson as star were expected to win the baseball series again. He also informed us that the great artist, Donald Lee, had just returned from a vacation in Europe. Then we heard the voice of Roger Swanson crooning just as Rudy Vallee used to. As the fire died down and the clock struck eleven, I decided to turn off my wonderful radio, manufactured by Einar Olson, as I had had enough surprises by both seeing and hearing my old classmates from Bryant Junior High School of the class of 1932-1933. • • Wanted: By a Bryant Junior Teacher 1. A student who never chews gum. 2. A student with a muffled laugh. 3. A class that doesn’t talk nor laugh, and always has its homework done. 4. A group of hoys who don’t run around the halls during lunch period. 5. A gym class who after the sixth explanation really understands how to work the problem. 6. A history class that doesn’t believe that John Hancock discovered America in 1776 and that Columbus wrote the Declaration of Independence in 1492. THE JUNK) R LIFE 13 Just Another Gym Period You can always tell when pupils are going to gym because they hasten through the halls so fast. Wait! Here comes Blythe Caldwell with Gail Linder and Aldomary Walgren trailing after. “Who is yelling?” asks Mrs. Boylan. A meek answer comes from Rose Flohil who says, I was asking Betty Swedenborg to save me a locker.” “You don’t have to yell about it and there arc plenty of lockers anyway.” After dressing we race upstairs to the gym floor where soon the noise begins. There is Mary Jane Farley throwing the rubber halls at everybody. The whistle blows and Mrs. Boylan summons the girls to squads. After a few drills there is heard a voice above all saying, “Here I am, girls.” A twist of necks takes place and who should it be hut Audrey Kueken, late to class as usual. The warning hell sounds and a rush is made for the stairway. S(K)ii we are dressed hut there arc always a few who are slow. There goes the last hell now, and who should file out late hut Ethel Healey, Bernice Olsen, Shirley Steward. Mrs. Boylan sighs and says, “Just another gvm period.” • • Is Told by One l lio Sees My life is always the same; round and round I travel. I am the clock in the science room. I have ticked the time around to the third period. Right now 1 can hear Tom Hopfenspirger and Donald Lee tearing down the hall. Into the room skids Ted Syverson. Finding it vacant he proceeds to finish his homework. By this time everyone has come in hut my patient, long-suffering friend, Miss Richer. I blush with shame. There is Harry Johnson breaking up an eraser and throwing the hits around. Oops! A piece just hit Harmony Bruggcr behind her ear. She’s turning around now and glaring at the extremely innocent expression decorating Harry’s face. Do my eyes deceive me or is that really Peter Stamis asking to borrow Betty Sparks’ math? Into the r x)m steps Miss Richer. How docs she manage to smile? If she hut knew what I know. “Homework papers forward. What? No homework! Why Dorothy Vezzoso, I’m surprised.” Each September and January brings new faces and new secrets for this poor old clock to hear. But do I tell the many things I hear? Indeed not. I cover my face with my hands and go on ticking the minutes away. Is that Bernadine Mason giving that very large sigh as the time rolls by and the hell rings? Woe is me, I think it was the whole class. In fact, I’m sure of it as they all charge out of here led by the flying figure of Jim Peterson. Down the corridor they rush pell-mell. Tick, tock. I’ll tell it not. 14 THE JUNIOR LIFE The 9A's Hate to Leave Mr. Hardaker so brave and bold Who makes us do as we arc told. Mr. Schimmele who with his smile Keeps us laughing all the while. Our Miss Adler with raven hair Who makes us all with envy stare. Miss Wilson who teaches English every day But still likes a little time for play. Miss Scales so small and sweet; We all worship at her feet. Miss Northey who is always gay Though typewriters clatter all the day. Miss Bergland who is always so fine; For her we always toe the line. Miss Richer who knows her science so well And the answers to all questions can tell. Miss Farnam with her happy smiles Who makes us think math is worth our while. Our friend, Miss Small, who docs lecture often; But she would make a heart of stone soften. Mrs. Warner, so staunch and true, Displeasing her makes us all feel blue. Mrs. Williams and her math, Who blazes for us an easy path. One who is always happy and gay, That is Miss Snyder's way. Mrs. Angell and her grave concern About the music we must learn. Miss Flynn who gives operettas fine, As an expert producer she’s first in line. Mr. Lawrence who leads the band; Let’s all give him a great big hand. M iss Gurtzweiler who with her artistic ideals Our unknown talent soon reveals. Mi ss Knowles who all dressed in white Helps us cook the things we like. Mrs. Boylan, tall and lithe, For we all think her very nice. Miss Stevens whose exercising whirls Has made gym a pleasure to the girls. Mr. Anderson, a pal to the boys, Who makes football and baseball schoolday joys. Mr. Boylan, so straight and tall, THE JUNIOR LIFE 15 Whose whistle makes us answer to his call. Mr. La Barge who has the boys cut up wood, But when the article is finished it looks very good. Mr. Trafzer dressed in gray Who makes a hit in a great big way. Miss Frost, Miss Redman, and Miss Forster Who all help keep our library gay and in order. Miss McLaughlin always kind Who eases our pains so we won't mind. Miss Roskilly with her ever pleasant smile Who always encourages and helps us all the while. Our Office Force that keeps all reports And are efficient and kind and mighty good sports. • • What Would Happen If Peter was white instead of Brown; Coral was a bird instead of a Fish; Lowell was a runner instead of a Walker; Barbara was an ice man instead of a Coleman; Lester was a wall instead of a Barr; Karl wore his old clothes instead of his Best; Audre was a cover instead of a Lei nan; Sidney was stone instead of Orr; Dorothy was a pine instead of a Cone; Warren was months instead of Weeks; Mary was a Thomas instead of a Lewis; Truman was a carpenter instead of a Tyler; Christine throws instead of Katches; Richard was stone instead of Wood? • • What Would We l)o If there were no gym periods; If there were no auditorium periods; If we had math, all day every Tuesday; If we couldn’t have a library; If we had to have the Odyssey for six months; If we had to memorize 800 lines of poetry; If we had no study periods; If we were sent to the detention room every time we were caught reading our favorite story book; If we had no Junior Life Staff; If we didn't have any traffic rules in the halls? We would very probably do just what we do now, make the best of it. 16 THE JUNIOR LIFE Gossip Exchange Did You Know That— (It wasn't told to me.

For their colors were so cheerful In their shades of red and brown. And they formed a perfect carpet That covered all the ground; And my thoughts were of the violets And of how cozy they would be Underneath the heaps of color Beside the maple tree. —Katherine Collins. Envy Oh, how I envy the poets; What mighty persons they must be; Oh, how I wish I were a poet. What fun that would be for me. Oh, how I envy the musicians With all the horns they play; If I could be a musician, Everything would be ol{ay. Oh, how I envy the soldier; With his comrades he stands in line; Gosh, if I could be a soldier, Then I would feel just fine. Oh, how I envy anyone With some pleasant, interesting worl If I had something interesting, I don’t thinly I would shirty. Oh, how I envy the poet, And the soldier, the musician too; Oh, I envy anyone With pleasant things to do. _Dean iron,. THE JUNIOR LIFE 19 Don't Don’t chew gum in English, It isn’t considered right, Don’t throw spit balls in study; Think of another’s plight. Don’t let those eyes of yours wander Unto somebody elsc’s test, Don’t blame it on the teacher If she says you arc a pest. Don’t regard your homework As an abominable thing; Don’t proclaim your “Fail” As an unnecessary sting. Don’t always converse in study; You’re sure to be put out; Don’t play mischievous pranks While the teachers aren’t about. Don’t say you forgot to do it; She'll know it’s a “Little White Lie”; Don’t repeat you forgot your pass; It's too bold an alibi. Don’t think because you’re advancing, That you are saying goodbye To the dear old days of friendship At Bryant Junior High. Contributed.

How many of these characteristics have you? • • Would the Universe Come to an End If Katherine Petri didn’t blush; If Bill Lundquist wasn’t asked to stay after school; If Donald Heath got his C.L.P. home-work; If Clifton Olson wasn’t chewing gum or candy; If Miss Adler’s Junior Business class would behave; If Audrey Shorbund couldn't sing; If Roger Swanson accepted an invitation to a party; If Frances Crossman didn’t have peanuts in study hall; If Dorothy Fritz couldn’t paint; If Evelyn Hanson got “A” in Junior Business; If Shirley Steward couldn’t swim; If Dorothy Ahern wasn’t a good athlete; If Betty Swedenborg didn’t have that pug of hair; If Roberta Mowery was short; If Jane Boener couldn’t play tennis; If Audrey Kueken wasn’t chewing gum?

The 8B Masquerade The Murray Hotel, owned and operated by Robert Murray, is celebrating its gala opening with a ball at which each guest is to appear as a well-known historical character. The cordial host greets each masked guest wondering at each identity. As twelve o’clock approaches, the guests begin to unmask and we find that John Smith is none other than John Melchisedeck, Vasco de Gama is Lester Wreath, the charming Betsy Ross is our friend Constance Vogel, the hardy Daniel Boone is the well-known William Halverson, and Thomas Vlassis is the eminent Governor Dinwiddie. As the guests seat themselves at the beautifully decorated table we sec next to the host Virginia Youngherg as Martha Washington. Others at the table are Blaine Lindskog as Thomas Hooker, Howard Gross-man as Cornwallis, Margaret Evans as Louisa May Alcott, Audrey Bowers in a beautifully beaded costume as the charming Pocahontas. Beside her is his Excellency Lord North, who is after all our own friend Reuben Lundeen. Other famous characters are Priscilla Mullens portrayed by Ruth Jensen. The eminent poet Henry Longfellow is here and we have a faint suspicion that it is really Frank Holicek. A party would not be complete without Molly Pitcher and Massassoit who are Frances Chapman and Earl Halloway. Gorgeously gowned Queen Elizabeth is none other than Betty Holtby. As her escort wc find Lee Elphis costumed as Peter Styvesant, wooden leg and all. THE JUNIOR LIFE 37 The ball room is a pool of changing lights and as the gentlemen lake the ladies by the hand, the first dance of the evening is to be an old-fashioned Virginia Reel. As the guests whirl past, Dolly Madison and Eli Whitney, who are Janet Turner and Richard Petrich, Clara Barton and Paul Revere in the persons of Marcella Rothenberger and Harold Nickles, John Paul Jones and Queen Anne who are Theone Teory and Howard Barr, are recognized. Now the partners have changed and we see Harriet Beecher Stowe and William Penn tripping off together. Sure enough just as we expected, they are Marcia Rehl and Maurice Teague. The wellknown dancers, Malcolm Erickson and Raymond Borne, dressed as Marquette and Joliet, do a specialty number. They finish their dance by whirling Mary, Queen of Scots, alias Roseanne Hart, and Marie Antoinette, or Rosemary Doyle, away in a dance. Others around the hall are George Washington or Gordon Rasmussen, Vasco Dc Gama or Sherman Olson, Joan of Arc or Marilyn Anderson, Jenny Lind or Virginia Hoff. We sec Patrick Henry, John Smith, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, and Alexander Hamilton who are really Douglass Chatfield, Roy Dale, Charles Hoag, Richard Raiter, and George Butts, looking glum because five colonial dames refuse to dance with them. They are Kathryn Reno, Dorothy Wagner, Marion Hanlon, Virginia Bell, and Evelyn Olson. Florence Nightingale and six Southern belles arc smiling bewitchingly at Sir Walter Raleigh, John Alden, Benjamin Franklin, George R. Clark, John Hancock, Sir Francis Drake, Miles Standish, and John Adams. The boys discover that the girls are Eileen Walvatne, Janet Drew, Mary Meyers, Ruth Hosmer, Betty J. Peterson, Harriet Chatterton, and Lois Michelson. The girls are greatly disappointed to find their heroes to be Eugene Lund, Chester Petrich, Robert Phillips, Arthur Rondeau, Norman Smith, John Henderson, Warren Pickard and Donald Smith. As the party ends we see John Stratc in a somewhat bedraggled John Smith costume, Robert Grono in a Henry Hudson suit, Burton Pearson as a gayly bedecked Pizzaro, and John Jay who in real life is Gordon Abbey, climb into a car driven by General Braddock who is John Williams. The ball is over and the great figures of history again step back into the pages of history. • • Stoocom plicated “Whatchagotna packidge ? ” “Sabook.” “ Wassanaimuvitt ?” “Sadickshunery, fullonaimes.

Can it be our model of perfect posture, Grayce Eng-quist, that we see sprawled in that terrible mud puddle, her latest Parisian creation ruined. And me without a shovel! Our next surprise was to find Bob Kelly (our man about school) driving a cab which was to take us to the Bryant Premiere. Norman Bell, the finely garbed doorman assisted us from our cab. Our first purchase was a bag of peanuts from our black-haired (?) boy, Roger Clark. Our attention was now attracted by a fire-engine with Bill Wright as the fire-chief. With a Heeling glance we saw Henry Quist, Edwin Kalina, and Donald Anderson in the role of firemen. After waiting in line where we saw Billy Dayhoflf and a platinum blonde, Marcella Floren, we purchased our tickets from Dorothea Moeller, who had as her assistant Charlotte Blewett. Wayne Waller ushered us to our seats as he told us who the other ushers were. We recognized among them these friends: John Thompson, Blair ('amp-bell, Gordon Anderson, Harris Dahlberg, Richard Martinson, Robert Berg, Archie Chambers, and David Lewis. Our programs were given to us by Daniel Lawler. The orchestra in the pit began playing a current song hit written by James Pidgcon. We recognized the manly figure of the orchestra leader as that of Edward Skinner. We obtained a list of the players and found among those listed many of our friends of former days: 42 THE JUNIOR LIFE Orleans Hugo, Thomas Jackson, Helen Marie Oredson, Dorothy Kuehl, Harold Anderson, William Lang, William Lceper, Jack Jay, Elizabeth Conrad, Donald Johnson. As the theater began to fill up, we singled out the slender Winifred Bryant, Winifred Barker, Denise Garberson, Lawrence Young, dignified Bud Atkinson, and James Johnson. As Eloise Newcomb entered, we couldn't help noticing that she had been dieting again. And could that be Maurice Krier? But he is bald-headed! George Schwartz and La Mont Barnes were representing the new radio station BJHS. The only reporters we knew were Lyala Berg and Levi Peterson. As the curtain went up, we saw Edward (no longer sonny) Hermann as the Master of Ceremonies. Among those from Bryant in the dance chorus were: Madeline Leak Mercedes Blair Josephine Tancm Margaret Sclmcr Mary Helen Kohl Elva Jensen Mildred Edling Betty Lou Schocning Theresa Zimmerman Muriel Paulson Gladys Ingalls Forcncc Burke Elizabeth Saylor Dorothy Gerber Maxine Rose Iris Erickson We were surprised to learn that Betty Brown was the solo dancer. The next number, a sextette, was announced by Edwin Cronk. The singers were: Stamata Shianas Donald Perussc James Burns Merle Johnson Ann Hines Lorraine Bourque Lois Abrams, the comedy singer, brought back memories of the old gymnasium programs at Bryant where these were then acrobatically inclined: Margaret Bennett Betty Scrnmcr Olivia Lecdcr Mildred Rudbcrg Winifred Frazer Avis Russ At last the time for the play had come! The author, another Bryant member, Betty Jane Linnc, was now introduced to us; and we were informed that George Root was the producer. We soon found that George Lykken was the director. Looking our programs over we saw the following members of Bryant in the various roles of the play: Leading lady.............. Marian Dahl Comedians ............ j Douglas Martin Leading man............... Bill Kelly (Charlotte Mullen Villain ..................James Biddle After the play, having enjoyed the fine acting of these classmates, we went back stage where we first met Harry Nickel as the doorman. We were now introduced to Knute Hanson, a rival of Clarence Tif-fingtupper as a costume designer. Lois Dunham, the scenery painter, then came over and gave us a hearty welcome. We saw the following as the electricians: Elroy Merz, John Reddin, Einar Nelson. The printers were: Douglas Elm, Walter O’Brien, Jack Grogan, Robert Elverum. TI1E JUNIOR LIFE 43 The property men were: Herbert Crocker James Knutson Robert Allen Jack Murphy Among the busy stage hands we recognized: Lynn Rolig Kenneth Williams Robert Kiarquist Russell Johnson Jack Cotton William Hullsiek The busy carpenters were: Douglas Anderson Richard Lang Lyle Nelson David Walker Walter Solstad Kenneth Ayer We hated to leave the theater where we had had such a wonderful time and had had so many surprises in meeting old friends. While driving home we were trying to think of those whom we might meet at the next Bryant Premiere. They were: Virginia Bcckstrom Phyllis Sundby Bob Hinck Virginia Utter Phillip Johnson Donald Bcrtncss Roscannc Hildebrand John Hines We hope to see all of you at the theater next year also. The Most Exclusive Group Room 320 is strictly a boys room. This room has its own private bookroom, study-hall, and corridor. The group is also selected by the Bryant faculty. A number of the boys have done three terms work in two terms. This room has the tallest and the heaviest boy in the building. It has a boy who broke his leg three times in nine months. It has one of the best warblers, bluffers, and wigglers in Bryant. One boy is related to Sitting Bull and another has the gun that shot him. Another is a cousin to Will Rogers. But best of all we have Miss Olson for our advisor and teacher. 9A Current Movies and Plays Silence .....................

THE JUNK) H L I F E LditojrUlUl. Greetings Mr. Webster, Superintendent of Minneapolis public schools at the time Bryant Junior High School opened, granted the request of one of the staff members, Virginia Beckstrom, who asked him to write a greeting on our tenth anniversary. The following letter, which is very much appreciated, was received a short time ago. May it, 1933 Dear Bryantians: So you are ten years old! Naturally you have changed somewhat since I saw you three years ago. But in one way I hope you are just the same. It was always a joy to pass through the doors into Bryant Junior High School. From the very beginning of your life you were quiet, self-respecting, and dignified. You go to school to get an education, so you say. What is that thing, called education? Just so much reading, arithmetic, history, and other things? May I suggest to you that good manners are an attainment quite as valuable for life as all the rules. Cicntle hands will open the guarded doors of the powerful; a voice, low but not afraid, will be heard above the shouts of the rude; straightforward eyes which never dodge will verify the truth as it is spoken. Good manners cloak poverty’s rags; and equally they hide the gaudy colors of the rich. In age as in youth may Bryant’s chiefest honor be that it has shown thousands the beauty of fine manners. Sincerely yours, W. F. Webster Spring March winds blow the snow away; April rains bring the flowers gay. The earth is spread with a carpet green, And the birds trill joyously all unseen: Next apple blossoms perfume the air— Oh all the world is young and fair It’s Spring! Gladys Ingalls 6 THE JUNIOR LIFE Farewell To Bryant As the glorious clays of June speed by, we, the gA’s, come to the realization that we are not only coming to the end of another term, but to the end of another chapter of life—that of Junior High Days. As we turn back the pages, we find, on the whole, that joy and happiness have been present for everyone. But on the more serious side, we, as individuals, have formed, due to our principal, Mr. 1 lardaker, and the faculty, higher ideals and higher standards. We feel that before we leave Bryant we must say to every teacher that because of them we are leaving Bryant having developed to a greater or lesser degree the following traits: A greater feeling of responsibility, Better judgment on all subjects, Obedience to school laws, Appreciation of rights of others, A sense of indebtedness to every teacher and the principal and our wonderful and patient librarians. It is with interest and excitement that we look forward to Senior High School, but with a wish that we might linger a little longer in the halls of Bryant we say with Hodgson: “Time, you old gypsy man, Will you not stay, Put up your caravan Just for one day?” Babes in the Jf ood It appears to me that some of the most outstanding experiences of the outgoing class occurred when we were in the lower grades. For instance, there is our first auditorium period at Bryant. Hearing Mr. Hardaker speak we began dimly to know what sort of school we had come to. For the most part we were babes in the wood, we knew few people, and as I remember it the geographical terrane of the maze of halls, doors, windows and lockers was as confusing as being put on a merry-go-round in a dark room with a compass and a road map. However, we soon became acclimated to the process of changing rooms and teachers for every subject. Although we were the butt of many jokes, everyone was eager to help us whenever any of us was in trouble. I hope that this spirit of helping the other person has been preserved by us on our progressive journey through Bryant. I think it has and I believe that it will be carried on by the other classes to make Bryant a better and friendlier school to attend. THE JUNIOR LIFE 7 To Bryant We stand once more at attention, Oh colors of red and white, For the last three years your school Has been our true guide and light. Within its walls it has held for us So many a happy and joyful thing, That as the time draws near, we dread To think we must leave it all this spring. But ah, we'll take with us where’er we go The thing that means much in life, The beginning of knowledge, which helps many When experiencing trouble and strife. But what is more we hope to take And never leave behind That which is the best of all, A strength of soul and mind. So we'll go marching forward, Marching with the rest, With the Red and White waving o’er us To remind us to do our best. Yes, it is with sorrowful feelings And many a heart-felt sigh That we leave this school, this wonderful school Of Bryant Junior High. Virginia Beckstrom 8 THE JUNIOR LIFE Did You Know That 1. The first session of school in Bryant was held March 26, 1923? 2. The total enrollment at that time was 999? 3. There were eighty pupils in the first 9A class? 4. Twenty-three members of the present faculty were here when the building opened? 5. There were no pictures in the classrooms or halls when the building opened ? 6. The building that is now Warrington was once Bryant? 7. There was once a cow pasture where Bryant now stands? 8. In the early years of Bryant there was only one lunch period and the whole school met in the auditorium at one time? 9. The first Bryant Times was published December 6, 1923? 10. The first Junior Life was issued in January, 1925? 11. Field Day was inaugurated in 1927? 12. The pool wasn’t tiled until 1929? 13. The playground across Clinton Avenue wasn't purchased until 1926? 14. We have always had a Student Council? 15. The first P. T. A. was organized in 1923? Signs of Spring Again spring has made its round with the other seasons and is now upon us. To support this statement I have sound proof. Attics or basements are being ransacked in search of fishing baits, reels, and rods. New strong line is being acquired for future use. Old boats are being calked, painted, and fitted with reliable oars. Old and dirty fishing pants arc being dug out of their winter quarters. The patient fishermen are eagerly waiting the day when they can leave all their cares and worries to engage in the favorite sport of many, fishing. The less patient fishermen risked being fined by rushing the season a little. The fish also realize it is spring. They are hungry and in search of new born insects and worms after living on dead vegetable matter through the long winter months. Mother fish are continuously searching for a cleverly concealed hiding place for their eggs to protect them from marauding turtles and other egg eating creatures of the lake or brook. Once more the exaggerated fish tales will begin, the stories of the huge fish that were caught but wiggled free while being landed. Douglas Martin. THE JUNIOR LIFE 9 Cam p fires When I was very young, it seemed to me that campfires were a decided nuisance. The smoke got in my eyes, and the heat scorched my face and hands while the rest of my anatomy resided in a very cold atmosphere. Soon I was shivering and smoking at one and the same time. As I grew older, it became more and more clear to me that around a fire in the great outdoors the best and most lasting friendships are forged. The dancing, glimmering flame is the spirit of life itself. No one can forecast its movements or in any way change them. I also discovered that we who are highly civilized have much in common with our primeval ancestors when we are around a campfire. They sat in their crude garments around a jealously guarded flame, made perhaps by lightning. We sit around a fire ignited with a match and clothed in apparel made in large lactorics. Yet the thought is the same around any campfire, a group chatting and singing and making friends. All are equal around a fire, and all are apparently endowed with the ability to see into anyone's innermost thoughts and to discern his character plainly. Around a campfire there is charity for all and malice for none, and we have a just and lasting place among ourselves and with everyone. George Schwert. The Good Luck Piece of a Brilliant Boy Soon as the early, rosy-fingered dawn appeared, a dark, curly haired, rather short boy rose from his bed, put on his clothes, slung his bright orchid rabbit paw over his shoulder, under his shining feet hound his fair shoes, and came forth from his chamber. For many a long year he had carried a shiny white rabbit paw given to him by an honorable friend, but now he had a new orchid paw. As he entered his father’s dining room, his father came forth and opened his arms and said, “Explain to me, dear son, why you are carrying the rabbit paw.” “Oh, my dear father,” answered the dark one of the brilliant mind, “it is to help me win in a game of baseball against the other great teams of the glorious house of Bryant where the gods and goddesses of Wisdom dwell with the Father of Education, Ernest J. Hardakcr. May the gods of physical education, John Boylan and Kristian Andersen, give us strength to win. That, my dear father, is the reason I carry this rabbit paw. This is a sure sign of spring when Maestro Howard Grossman turns from snooping for news and exercising his nimble fingers on the piano scale to match his skill against the others boys in a game of baseball. Bernice Kronick 10 THE JUNIOR LIFE Minneapolis, Minn. March i, 1973 Dear James: Sitting in my library tonight, gazing into my sparkling and glowing artificial fireplace, my thoughts wandered hack to the days when we were boys at Bryant Junior High. How we used to discuss the cartoon of Buck Rogers and wonder if it would ever become true. Now as 1 gaze about me and sec all those things happening daily and becoming the accustomed things of life, I marvel at it. We boys were then glad to get a ride to school in an automobile. Boys and girls now just attach their flying belts and away they go to school. The air is thick with people flying here and there, with no automobiles. The traffic cops are now many miles up in the air instead of on corners. Their troubles are quite different from what they used to be. They now regulate the airplanes so that people with flying belts arc safe and there are no accidents. How difficult for the youngsters to understand our childhood days. Now instead of their fathers saying, “Johnny, put some coal on the fire,” they say, “Turn on the hot or cold vapor,” or “Turn on the sun rays. Instead of mother working half her time in the kitchen preparing the meals, she just hands them a couple of pills. Do you remember the instruments called telephones? How much better television is. You can't fool people now by pretending to be somebody else. I talked to my mother way across the continent and could see every wrinkle in her dear old face. Your friend, Gerald Goodlund Qualities Of A Perfect Student A perfect student is always on time; A perfect student avoids waste; A perfect student obeys his teacher at all times; A perfect student never shirks his duty; A perfect student is always prepared; A perfect student never chews gum in public; A perfect student loves his classmates; A perfect student is always courteous to new pupils; A perfect student is helpful at all times; A perfect student is never detained after school for discipline. How many of these qualities have you? THE JUNIOR LIFE 11 Marching On With Bryant The high-lights of Bryant’s history Are pleasant to recall; Come, then, let’s review them For with pride we point to all. 1923 With nine hundred ninety-nine pupils Young Bryant began its career; The first Bryant paper was published And claimed as successful that year. The Hi-Y was organized also, And boys wished to join, one and all, While murals of beauty, still famous, Were hung in the lower front hall. 1924 This year saw the Bryant lawn seeded To help beautify our new school; Student officers also were chosen To help enforce Bryant’s rules. A Color Day, then celebrated, Was famed for its banners so bright, For then’s when our colors were chosen And still we salute red and white. 1925 The first Junior Life then was published; We heard the first strains of the band; And both are as popular now as They were on the day they began. 1926 We issued the first Bryant handbooks; We purchased a large playground, too; The courts, landscaped, surely looked well-kept. And health gained a new meaning, too, For this year the queen and the monarch Of health held their first royal sway, And still every spring time we choose them To lead our whole school for a day. 1927 Our orchestra now received laurels, 'I’he city-wide contest they won; Our boys’ glee-club also was honored And both got first place in the sun; A picture of Justice was given; The greenhouse was filled with bright bloom; And chandeliers hung from the ceiling, A gift from the finishing room. 12 THE JUNIOR LIFE 1928 1929 l93° 93 932 933 A talent club now originated And the students came in Hocks; Also everyone rejoiced because Of the new combination locks; Our honor-point system now began, And those awarded a “B,” In athletics, scholarship, and citizenship Were models of Efficiency. We held our first Whoopee Night this year And gathered in nickels and dimes; A big twelve page paper was published, The very best work of the Times. The next great event of the year was The tiling of Bryant’s own pool, So '29 left as its memorial A lasting tribute to our school. Now Bryant’s enrollment was climbing— One thousand six hundred and more; Of clubs there were many and better Than any we’d started before. A room was set aside in the basement Where bicycles ridden could stay; The boys went for them at dismissal Knowing they'd been safe all the day. Now “Ventures,” a volume of poems By members of Bryant, came out; And copies were sold to the pupils Who liked it beyond any doubt; New muragraphs also were purchased To add a gay touch to the hall; Then—oh—the detention room started; Be careful, we’re warning you all. The word of this year is a sad one; “Depression!” When will it be gone? But if cut you must, then cut that word And you'll find a phrase noble—“press on.” Some sad things have happened of course, But the smiles far surpass all the tears; And now we have reached our decennial And passed a most happy ten years. Virginia Beckstrom Betty Lu Schoening THE JUNIOR LIFE To Bryant 13 Hail Bryant! May the red and white of your colors bright, Flaunt proudly in the air. May your halls resound with laughter and song, On your Anniversary rare. If your walls could speak, Oh, the secrets they’d tell Of pupils loyal and true, Of the patience of teachers every ready and wise In their guidance of me and you. Oh wonderful spirit of promise and hope, Like the vision of youth so clear, Hold sway and keep time to our marching song, For your Tenth Anniversary is here! Gladys Ingalls Pan Pan’s in the woodlot playing a tune, Piping a welcome to sweet Mistress June, Leaping and playing; hear him today; Answer, ye mortals, hark to his lay. Drop all your troubles, listen to Pan; Never such piping since earth began. Dance to his music, be merry today; Pan’s in the woodlot, hark to his lay. Pan’s in the forest under a tree; All the birds answer his piping with glee; Over the hill top to watch summer stray; While Pan is piping, hark to his lay.

Phyllis Sundby THE JUNIOR LIFE 17 The Perfect School Harken, my children fair, to the tale of a wondrous vision of a perfect school. First of importance is the pupils’ program. How many times have you prayed that some Latin or C. L. P. period be cut short? Here is the perfect 9A program: Period Hour Subject i 9:00-11:00 Swimming 2 11:00-11:15 Math. 3 11:15-12:45 Lunch 4 12:45- 1:00 Latin 5 1:00- 1:15 English 6 1:15- 2:00 Study Where there arc pupils and programs there must be teachers. My dream teacher is youthful, alert, and clever. She remembers her own school days and looks charitably on all the erring pupils who will skip classes. She is not harsh to the poor unfortunates who just couldn’t get their homework. She regards gum-chewing as an art and feels that it should be cultivated as such. She knows whispering is a godsend to an overtired brain. The pupils’ course of procedure is simple. The pupils come into the room, sit down, and begin to talk. Then they ask the teacher all the questions they are sure she can’t answer. Later they pass in any homework they may have done. They pack up their books and tell jokes until the passing Ml rings. Hark, there ’tis. Oh, it’s not the passing Ml, but my alarm going off. Oh, Morpheus, why dost thou let me dream of things which may never be? Tips for the Future In correcting the intelligence tests taken by our Bryant pupils I found several good tips for the up-and-coming young junior high student. This Mng the baseball season, here’s a corker: The best way for your team to win is to umpire the game yourself. The future farmer may take advantage of this: A guernsey has no legs. Hear ye! Attention all! The best thing to do on a sinking ship is to climb the mast to keep dry. Here’s a dandy for the housewives: Good Housekeeping is the name of a reliable vacuum cleaner. You have permission to use these tips, but I shall not be responsible for the results. 18 TIIE JUNIOR LIFE Secrets About the 9A Faculty Name Nic!{-Name favorite Pastime If they had a million Mr. Hardaker E.

The other night we decided to take a trip to Toyland. We got on our magic pillow and sailed out through our window. Much to our surprise we were conducted through this interesting place by the guides, Jack Grogan and Donald Bruckelmyer. We arrived on the scene just as a contest tor the fairest lady and sheik of Toyland was being held. The judges were Lila Davidson, Rose Muller, Jack Cotton and John Christie. Lined up in front of the judges were the beauty contestants. First in the line was a little French doll, Julie Ann Mimoso. Opposite her was a tin soldier with a gun on his shoulder who we found out was Jack Murphy. Though there were many other contestants these won the cup. A few minutes later our guides brought us an invitation to a tea party given by Bernice Anderson and Barbara Bush. The other guests were Carol Mae Ortley, Madelyn Leak, Winifred Frazce and Pearl Mann. Here we learned the latest gossip: Robert Larson, Lynn Rolig and Fay Root were running for the honor of being president. Virginia Boll was running an antique shop to work her way through college. Patricia was the assistant antique collector. Much to our sorrow the sun appeared and we said farewell to our dear little friends of Toyland. Bryant’s Birthday Party June 2! Bryant Decennial! What a big day it was! The activities began with the annual parade led by the health king and queen to Nicollet Field. There the pupils contested in various stunts such as high-jump, relay race, ball throw, broad jump, and the like. The Bryantians then turned their tired but happy selves toward the school to cat lunch and to enjoy the later events of the day. After an hour of quiet study they assembled in the auditorium where they had a gay time singing and sharing in the big Bryant Booster program which included a magician act and the play, “Bryant 'Thirty Years from Now.” When the hour devoted to the Junior Life ended, all were free to enjoy the ice-cream, candy, and fruit on sale in the lunchroom. A fitting climax to the day’s activities took place in the evening. After an overture by the orchestra the curtains were drawn disclosing a diningroom scene with Bryant’s birthday cake as the center of attraction. This cake was 106 inches in diameter and thirty-six inches high. Ten red candles representing not only the ten years of Bryant’s history but also the aims of education, which are cooperation, home, play, knowledge, health, work, thrift, service, citizenship, and character, topped the cake. Mr. and 20 THE JUNIOR LIFE Mrs. Bryant, Henry Quist and Margaret Bennett, with their two children, Annetta Swallender and Frederick Werner, were seen. The candles then came to life. They were recognized as Evelyn Gaustad, Jean Ohlin, Dorothy Smith, Crystal Erickson, Ruth Kjorlien, Helen Marie Oredson, Elizabeth Day, Arleen Hartwig, Winifred Frazee, and Evangeline Sageng. When the curtain was drawn, twelve Bryant pages dressed in red and white costumes appeared to distribute pieces of the cake among the audience. After this celebration we were entertained with a play, “The Estabrook Nieces, presented by the 9A Dramatic Club in which three boys played a prank on their girl friends by impersonating some society misses. The cast included Edith Jernberg, Marguerite Hilton, Virginia Utter, Helen Strombcrg, Bill Kelly, James Biddle, Sonny Herman, and Bob Kelly. The military drill given by girls from the physical education department offered a thrilling sight. Thirty-two girls dressed in red and white formed figures and lines of an interesting variety to the strains of the ‘‘Stars and Stripes Forever played by the orchestra. Also a tumbling act that called forth exclamations of appreciation was given by a group of boys. Then the boys glee club presented a minstrel show. Specialty numbers were given by the Oriole and the Cotton Blossom Quartets, and by mandolin, accordion, harmonica, and dance soloists. Also a very interesting number, “Under the Old Umbrella, was sung by two girls from the Girls' Glee Club. The program of the day closed with a social hour for the alumni who were among the audience of the evening. Everyone was sure that Bryant’s birthday party was a success and that years from now they will find pleasure in reviewing the joyful event in our school annual, the Junior Life of June, 1933. Rulers for a Day Stand by, all ye Bryantians! Such were the orders when Douglas DuLac and Mary Evelyn Myers, King and Queen for a day, led their court to Nicollet Field on June 2 to participate in the athletic events. Douglas, an amateur magician of fame, did not have to hypnotize the posture judges for their favorable verdict, but he did have to go through some hard exercises with his back perfectly straight before he was chosen posture king. He was especially known for his athletics, but his scholarship was high, too. “Mary has good posture standing, sitting, or running, and that is why I have chosen her. These were the words of the contest judge, and we THE JUNIOR LIFE 21 agreed with her. Looking at our queen, we could not imagine her slumping or stooping her shoulders. She also had been an outstanding athlete and a scholar. Rut a king and queen must have attendants to follow in the royal train. Therefore, the hoys and girls who ranked second and third in posture were chosen to march in the court. The girls so honored were Jeane Murphy, Margaret Hagen, Phyllis Pearson, Grace Putnam, Hetty Stauffer, Mildred Rudberg, Marion Smith, and Grayce Engquist. The king’s guards were William Kelly, Rob Fraley, Rob Reddingius, Paul Vanstrum, David Rer-dahl, and Martin Granning. At last the royal court was ready to begin its triumphal march led by the King and Queen of Health! We wondered did they all eat wheaties, drink ovaltine and sleep on rest-awhile mattresses? If not, what was the secret of their charm? Are You A Good Sport? A good sport never shirks when it is time to play the game; A good sport has courage to keep on until the end; A good sport plays his best whether with friends or an opposing team; A good sport always cheers the opposing team if it wins the game; A good sport never quits because one game is lost. Station to Station How do you do, Mr. and Mrs. America and all the little Americas of this bright and sun-shiny radio audience—no runs, no hits, no—and you just pay one dollar for an additional—two cups of milk mixed with— sheep, hogs, and cattle—you simply send a self-addressed envelope for your—and they lived happily ever—for alderman of the fifth—let all join in on the second—ain’t it—O Sole Mio—a bed time story for—bandits must be fed—patrol cars call at the—musical note it will be—good night— station R.

Betty Harlien’s face was drawn and wrinkled; 7. Marguerite Hilton was sickly; 8. Barbara Herbert had six married children; 9. William Lundquist was a retired business man? I wonder, could it be old age? 28 THE JUNIOR LIFE Ten Years After Ten years had passed since our departure from Minneapolis, and now we were hack once more wishing to look up old acquaintances. Our first act was to go down town. Naturally we found the business district greatly changed, but our greatest surprise was to find, instead of the familiar Woolworth store, a ten story building upon whose front huge green letters announced to the world that this was “DuLac’s Dc Luxe Five and Ten Cent Store.” Entering the door the first person we saw was an agent in a spotless green uniform handing out with one hand sample packages of salted peanuts and devouring them with the other. Yes, it was John Randolph. As we talked with him a tiny blond, enveloped in a huge false mustache, tripped up. Upon seeing us, however, she became so startled that her disguise fell off. If it wasn't Betty Hanson coming up for her fourth helping of peanuts! Nearby we noticed someone looking familiar but rather wild. She had lipstick on one side of her mouth and was applying rouge to her nose. We soon found her to be Joyce Johnson. She was conversing with an old acquaintance, the famous educator, Margaret Selmer. We came up just in time to hear part of their conversation. They were speaking of John Randolph. Joyce told us that he planned to retire and be a senator later in life, but peanuts being his chief interest he was taking them up just now. Parting from Joyce and Margaret we passed on. Going by the candy counter whom should be see but Elroy Merz and Henry Quist peering from behind a pile of butterscotch suckers! They were trying to sell their wares to someone who was hurrying away with a look of grim determination on her face. We hastened after her for we recognized her as an old pat, Bernice Kronick. She confided to us that she was on a strict diet of soup and cheese crackers and was having rather a hard time of it. Wishing to look at some of the latest popular songs we asked her to direct us to a floorwalker. Immediately she turned purple, sputtered something, and shook her fist in the general direction of a tall man with a carnation in his buttonhole. As we walked toward him, we discovered he was Maurice Krier. Maurice piloted us to the music department from whence issued the strains of a saxophone and a strangely familiar voice. When we came in sight of the counter we perceived that the voice belonged to James Biddle and the music issued from the saxophone of Edward Skinner who was accompanying him. We received our next surprise when Grayce Engquist sidled over to us and informed us that she was the head of the music department. She played for our benefit a new song written by Bill Wright entitled “I Can’t Bring You Anything But Flunks, Mother.” After James THE JUNIOR LIFE 29 had sung again for us wc hurried off to the irresistible fish and small animal department. On the way, however, we spied someone giving out handbills. Walking over to him we found that he was Kenneth Williams. He was distributing advertisements for a play, “The Cats and The Mouse.” Opposite the part of the mouse we saw the name of Robert Henrctta. Kenneth informed us that Robert was now an aspiring young actor and was expected to achieve by his acting great fame in the role of the unfortunate mouse. When we recalled his dramatic tendencies in the ninth grade, we were not surprised. In the vaudeville we were amused to see Philip Johnson, alias Mose Jackson, in a negro quartette. Denise Garberson and Phyllis Sundby were billed in a dance number, “Sweethearts of the South.” As it was getting late, we once more headed for the fish department, but when we arrived we found the traffic blocked by two persons who, entirely oblivious to the threatening crowd around them, were acclaiming in shrill voices the merits of the various specimens. Upon closer inspection we found them to be Jean Ohlin and Lyla Berg. Pushing our way through the crowd we greeted them and pulled them out of the way. Continuing we discovered a large and very queer fish which we were about to purchase when to our chagrin we found that it was Bob Hinck looking into the bowl from the other side. By this time wc were very tired as we headed home, but on the way out we felt a light tap on the shoulder. We turned simultaneously but saw—nothing. We were about to go on when the tap was repeated and once more we went through the examining process. The third time we happened to look down and there stood Melvin Johnson. He told us that he was now the chief attraction at a flea circus nearby and invited us to visit it some day. The sun was setting as we walked slowly homeward, tired it is true, but happy nevertheless. • • Some Years Hence Oh, what has become of the slick haired sheiks, The sheiks of our Bryant days? They have traveled far, they have traveled fast, They have traveled devious ways— Now Eddie was dashing—his girl friends’ pride And a blond and a half was he; The best dressed boy in the school, they said, (Though he didn’t appeal to me.) But stooped are his shoulders and bowed with care And Eddie is deaf and dumb. For he has a wife just seven feet high And she keeps him under her thumb. Now M..........., he was dark, and M.........., he was tall, 30 1 I F£ THE With the curliest curly hair, And the maidens looked, and the maidens sighed For, oh—he was wondrous fair, But his hair hangs down to his ankles now; On his chin is a growth of years, And he is a hermit, renouncing the world In spite of the world’s sad tears. And Robert’s another—by some called Bob, He Was Irish, and oh, what a sheik! But he got his girl friends a triHe mixed, And we’ll never more hear him speak. One other, there is—but his tale is sad, He was famed for his eyes of blue, And, though somewhat of an amateur, He was coming along fine, too. Admiring damsels called him “Bob (And skeptics called him the Hen) But he laughed and flirted and greased his hair—. And his life was a gay one—then. But now he is withering fast away And—it’s almost too sad to tell But—“don’t get sassy,’’ he shouts all day, And they've got him locked in a cell. Oh, some of the sheiks are successes now— Stage Romeos, price, two bits. And some are playing the love game still— No runs, no errors, no hits. But lad, let us warn you before you start, Take heed of the talc of the Hen, And think before you begin to fall, For oh, you're a goner then! Hits of the Day Was my face red—After report cards were issued! Here it is Monday—And no home-work done. The sidewalk waltz—To Central. I’ve got a right to feel blue—After the Odyssey test. J igsaw—Algebra. I wake up smiling—If my home-work’s done. Darkness on the delta—And I’m still studying. May lx it’s because I love you too much—Latin. You’re getting to be habit with me—Detention room. When the morning rolls around again—I’ll want to stay in bed.

Recently while at the home of John Castle I touched the wrong switch on some electrical equipment. When the smoke had cleared away, he had an idea for a new invention, a what-will-they-bc-in-the-futurc-machinc. Personally I was very dubious as to John’s sanity at the time. I have since seen the machine and it works, and I never saw a saner person in my life than John Castle. Looking through a small aperture in the midst of dozens of dials and coils I saw Douglas Bloomberg demonstrating rowing machines in a drug-store window. Herbert Crocker was selling patent medicine, and Robert Apelt, who had broken the world’s record for kicking BB's was coming down the street talking to Harold Blakkestad who had devoted his life to raising Austrian fleas for Edward Skinner, a famous doctor, to test poisons on. Harlan Erickson, Fay Root, and Lynn Rolig were also famous scientists, but they are all in the institution devoted to the care of half wits. While these boys were working on an extremely complicated machine a six ton insulator fell on their heads and jimmied the works inside. It was a wonderful age my comrades were living in. Bryant Junior was a laboratory covering six square blocks with television in every room. Frances Clausen was teaching Sanskrit at the time and “Sonny Herman with Bob Hinck and Ernest Carlson as his assistants was conducting an extensive study of frog hair and worm cars to be used for stuffing pillows. You may doubt my word, but all I can say is, “Wait and see. • • Little Things In Life Betty Lou Schoening thinks that the greatest accomplishment of the ancient Romans was speaking Latin. Jack Grogan still maintains that the world’s greatest inventor was an Irishman named Pat Pending. Marion Seefcldt, when asked for Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, replied that he never lived there. After a year of scientific research, Edward Lund has discovered that the heavy end of a match is the light end. Robert Hcnretta’s pals think he’s a wit. Jean Ohlin has come to the conclusion that they’re half right. Donald Birtness’ idea of a hypocrite is a boy who comes to school with a smile on his face. When Leo Filzcn heard of “The Last Days of Pompeii, he wondered what Pompeii died of. Wanda Ford wasn't sure, but she thought it was some kind of an eruption. Miss Brunner has decided that Robert Allen has a head for geometry. It’s both plane and solid. Last but not least, according to Bernice Kronick’s opinion, Scotland Yard is two feet eleven inches. THE JUNIOR LIFE 33 What Would Happen If 1. Lorraine Bourque left her lipstick at home? 2. Douglas Elm forgot to blush? 3. Marion Dahl lost her tennis shoes? 4. Robert Allen forgot to pick up the Math, books? 5. Kathryn Magnuson got her homework? 6. Rene Bridier got all A’s? 7. We didn't have Georg Lykken? 8. All of the teachers forgot to come to school? 9. Mr. Trafzer forgot to visit 101? 10. Miss Small forgot to assign a lesson? 11. We were dismissed at hve o’clock instead of three o’clock? 12. We had to come to school in the summer? 13. The teachers forgot to hand out the report cards? 14. Bryant had an escalator? 15. We didn't have our patient Mr. Hardakcr? We Wonder If Ten Years Ago 1. Emily Staab was the fattest baby? 2. Arnold Brooks had straight hair? 3. Betty Stevens was a noisy child? 4. Katherine Rorris had a pug nose? 5. Daniel Thompson had bow-legs? 6. Carolmae Ortley had black hair? 7. Roger Paschmeyer was the tallest baby boy? 8. Edna Pearson was the shortest baby girl? 9. Donald Perusse went to all strangers? 10. Helen Marie Oredson was the champion infant gum-chewer? 11. Maurice Remer was continually talking about something—or nothing? 12. Fred Risse pestered his little girl friends? 13. Hugh Rcimers was full of that infantile wit? 14. Edwin Cronk was an all-round favorite and liked girls with blue eyes? 15. Lelah Smith was always giggling and had such beautiful hair? 16. George Root tried to tease? 17. Verna Sutton was a joy to her playmates? 18. Henry Quist was an infant prodigy in music? 19. James Biddle was just as comical in all his ways? 20. Winifred Frazee could swim as well as toddle? 34 THE JUNIOR LIFE More Gossip Muriel Paulson entertained at a bridge party last Friday afternoon and oh! what a party! I can’t say that there was much bridge played but what does it matter? I must tell you who was there. Of course Denise Carbcrson appeared in a striking outfit and her hair looked beautiful. She said that she had it waved at Harold Anderson’s new beauty parlor. Then there was Winifred Barker—and do you know, she is beginning to put on the pounds again? Orleans Hugo was there and she has turned platinum blonde all of a sudden. Charlotte Prescott arrived a half hour late and explained that she had not had the car under complete control all the way over. Emily Staab was present to tell all the details of the gay charivari given in honor of Dr. Henry Quist. Alice Jacobi trudged wearily in and nearly fell asleep twice. You see she gave a farewell party for Harry Nickel the night before. Dorothy Hadley completed the guest list and arrived merrily humming the familiar strains of “Shuffle Off To Buffalo.’’ Here are some hits of news picked up during the afternoon’s conversation: Mary Nelson performed her first operation last week. Betty Semmer has won fame as a blues singer. Joyce Newman and Boh Hinck have been cast to co-star in Paramount’s new production, “Lazy Loafers” taken from the hook written by Bernice Kronick. Robert Allen is a mathematics professor at Yale. Glen Sachs, Richard Clark, Bob Kelly and Roger Clark have all been missing since the celebration of Bryant’s tenth anniversary, and Charlotte Vandinberg has finally persuaded Maxine Rose to put mustard with hamburgers in her new shop. After refreshments were served, Winifred Barker excused herself, say-' ing that she must get over to the church to see about some things for Sunday. While I am on the subject I might say that Winifred has become terribly enwrapped with church work since the new minister, the Rev. Mr. Edwin Cronk, started last month.—Taken from “Society Column in New York Times. Did You Know It? Frcshic knows not and knows that he knows not. Soph knows not and knows not that he knows not. Junior knows and knows not that he knows. Senior knows and knows that he knows. THE JUNIOR LIFE 35 Now It May Re Told (fathered in a hare, upstairs room sits the convention of Long Beards. We recognize the presiding officer as Arnold Brooks. The first prize for the longest beard goes to Alan Ferron with Bud Atkinson as a close second. Discussing our class of 1935 sve learn surprising things about our classmates. Passing up her vocation as an English teacher, Mary Roll, we arc surprised to learn, is head dishwasher in a restaurant. Our distinguished math student, Dorothy Smith, is busy inventing a rubber doll that can count to five. We are astonished to find that Elizabeth Day is vacationing in Bermuda to regain her health. It is also a great surprise to find that Kathleen Cavanaugh is spreading mustard on hot-dogs in Krcsges. Richard Day now gives us the news that John Christie is the giant in Ringling’s circus. The fact that Sonny 1 lerman is teaching a boys’ class in Sunday School brings a laugh from everyone, and we can hardly believe that Robert Bradley is running an elevator in a one story building. As it is now seven o'clock, the Long Beards’ bedtime, the meeting is adjourned until next year. • • We All Hope That: Margaret Bennett has made a success of her presidency. Jean Ohlin will hold further honors at Central. Douglas DuLac will Ik running for the same office that he now holds, three years from now. John Randolph will not consider his work as a class officer completed upon leaving Bryant. • • Sure Symptoms of Spring Fever 7:00 A. M.—An over-developed yawn. 8:00 A. M.—Where’s my lunch! 8:15 A.

Crash! “My conscience, what is that I hear?” “Why, can’t you tell that it is Eloise Newcomb’s pencil box?’’ “Oh, I do believe I hear Gladys Ingalls on third floor.” “She’s probably at poor Maxine Rose again.” “You don’t need to worry about Maxine Rose as she can give as well as take.” “Why, I didn’t think that about our great authoress.” “Have you seen Julie Ann Mimoso lately?” “Why, no, not that I recall. Is she ill or something?” “Well, I guess Julie Ann is as much here as you or I. I was just thinking about that sweet disposition of hers. I wonder how she controls her temper so easily. She surely knows the secret. TIIE JUNIOR LIFE 37 “Well, that is one thing that I have a hard time with.” “Julie Ann sets a good example for the students. “Here comes Louise (Babe) Hall with that cute girl friend.” “They must take blushing lessons from the same instructor.” “I do believe they are blushing now. It looks so sweet to see two nice girls blushing.” “There’s Marcella Floren coming down the hall. Don’t you like her looks with her hair cut?” “I should say so. It certainly took a load ofT my mind. I was so afraid that she would swallow a hair pin when her hair was long. “When she smiles now her dimples arc more conspicuous.” My, aren't those two good-looking girls having fun?” Oh, that’s Janet LeBaron with Stamata Shianas. They do have a lot to laugh about. When they get through walking around the halls, every one they’ve passed is smiling.” It’s nice that they can give so much pleasure. I would like to be like that.” “There’s Donald Birtness walking with one of his many friends.” I think he is one of the most courteous boys Bryant has. Don’t you ?� � “I most certainly do. He is everything that speaks for courtesy. Bryant surely has put on a fine parade of students this year. It certainly has, even though Emily Staab occasionally whispers in study hall.” I wonder whom Jack Lindholm got in a fight with? It looks as though Betty carried of! the scalp that time.” You know, I get a great kick watching that pair. It’s rather an interesting friendship.” “Oh, there goes the bell. I must be getting on, but I have surely enjoyed this tete-a-tete.” Meet you at the same place tomorrow. So-long.” • • Who Sez It ? How well do you know your faculty? i. “In here.” 2.

Keep up the good work, girls; it is pupils like you who make the teaching profession a pleasure. When did Moses sleep five in a bed? When he slept with his fore fathers, Silly! “Which battle was Alexander the Great killed in? “I’m not sure, but I think it was his last. Bob Kelly—I tell you, 1 know what I’m talking about. I’m a self-man— a self-made man— Timid jB—Well, you knocked off too soon. Mrs. Warner says John Thompson has high ambitions. He’d like to attend “Hobo college. It’s the little things that bother us. You can sit on a mountain but not on a tack. THE JUNIOR LIFE 45 Robert E. is just coming home from school with a pumpkin seed given him by his teacher. When entering the house he told his mother that the teacher had told him that although the seed was white the pumpkin would be yellow. Mrs. E.: And what color will the vine Ik? Robert: I don't know. Mrs. E.: But you should know. The color of our vines in tliL hack yard. Robert: But we aren’t expected to know anything until we are taught. • Prof.: What’s nothing? K. S. (very thoughtfully): It’s a footless stocking without any leg. • Betty Lu Schoening is (as you probably know) a resourceful lass and an extremely forgetful one. Miss Bergelarui (stopping her dictation): “Betty Lu, what are you doing?’’ Betty Lu: “Oh, I forgot my pen, so I’m dipping my pencil in the ink.” • And then there’s the one about the Scotchman who fanned his wife with a herring because the doctor said she needed salt air. Here's to the teachers, long may they live, Just as long as the assignments they give. • Law: The deportment of a student varies inversely as the square of the distance from the teacher’s desk. Miss Wilson: James, use disposition in a sentence. fames B.: When I wants to fight, I fights in dis position. Mrs. K. (all star): Why didn’t you put the watermelon in the ice box, as you were told to. Helen N. (indignantly): I did, but it isn’t cold. I had to take the ice out to get it in. Mrs. H.: And what did you do in school today? D. .: Wc had nature study and it was my turn to bring a specimen. Mrs. H.: And what did you bring? D. H.: I brought a cockroach and I told teacher we had lots more. • Hostess (politely): What part of the chicken do you like best, Robert? R. S. (timidly): I like the meat best. Small Boy (visiting zoo for first time with his father. His eyes arc glued on the elephant): Oh, look at the big cow with his horns in her mouth and eating hay with her tail.
