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.

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. I intend to teach you something today.” 3. I wonder—.” 4. I am sincere when I say this, folks.” 5. Are you chewing that foreign substance again? 6. When 1 was in New Mexico—.” 7. Is this my b-c-s-t- class?” 8. According as you finsh—.” 9. How did you like this book?” 10. I’ll give you a penny if you can find the answer.
