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.

THE JUNIOR LIFE 19 Whom Did We See? 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.
