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. M.—I don’t see any reason why we should go to school at this time of the year. 8:30A.M.—Oh! I forgot my math. What’ll I do? Will you just copy them down for me? 9:00 A.M.—A terrifying look is cast upon the C. L. P. teacher bul she grins and hears it. 10:00 A. M.—Get of! my feet! 11:00 A.M.—Will that bell ever ring? 12:00 A.M.—I wish we had a longer lunch period. 1:00 P.M.—If I were only back in the sixth grade! 2:00 P. M.—An hour left and a test at that. 3:00 P.M.—At last! at last! we arc dismissed.
