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.

12 THE JUNIOR LIFE An Evening With My Radio As I turned the dial of my radio I was surprised to see the face of Fred Worthington flash on the television screen. 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.
