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. Eloise Newcomb

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.
