THE JUNIOR LIFE 21 agreed with her. Looking at our queen, we could not imagine her slumping or stooping her shoulders. She also had been an outstanding athlete and a scholar. Rut a king and queen must have attendants to follow in the royal train. Therefore, the hoys and girls who ranked second and third in posture were chosen to march in the court. The girls so honored were Jeane Murphy, Margaret Hagen, Phyllis Pearson, Grace Putnam, Hetty Stauffer, Mildred Rudberg, Marion Smith, and Grayce Engquist. The king’s guards were William Kelly, Rob Fraley, Rob Reddingius, Paul Vanstrum, David Rer-dahl, and Martin Granning. At last the royal court was ready to begin its triumphal march led by the King and Queen of Health! We wondered did they all eat wheaties, drink ovaltine and sleep on rest-awhile mattresses? If not, what was the secret of their charm? Are You A Good Sport? A good sport never shirks when it is time to play the game; A good sport has courage to keep on until the end; A good sport plays his best whether with friends or an opposing team; A good sport always cheers the opposing team if it wins the game; A good sport never quits because one game is lost. Station to Station How do you do, Mr. and Mrs. America and all the little Americas of this bright and sun-shiny radio audience—no runs, no hits, no—and you just pay one dollar for an additional—two cups of milk mixed with— sheep, hogs, and cattle—you simply send a self-addressed envelope for your—and they lived happily ever—for alderman of the fifth—let all join in on the second—ain’t it—O Sole Mio—a bed time story for—bandits must be fed—patrol cars call at the—musical note it will be—good night— station R. J. H. S. From My Window From a green bush laden white with snow, The crimson flower held her head; Nature’s valiant gesture, quick to show, That summer had not fled! Gladys Ingalls

20 THE JUNIOR LIFE Mrs. Bryant, Henry Quist and Margaret Bennett, with their two children, Annetta Swallender and Frederick Werner, were seen. The candles then came to life. They were recognized as Evelyn Gaustad, Jean Ohlin, Dorothy Smith, Crystal Erickson, Ruth Kjorlien, Helen Marie Oredson, Elizabeth Day, Arleen Hartwig, Winifred Frazee, and Evangeline Sageng. When the curtain was drawn, twelve Bryant pages dressed in red and white costumes appeared to distribute pieces of the cake among the audience. After this celebration we were entertained with a play, “The Estabrook Nieces, presented by the 9A Dramatic Club in which three boys played a prank on their girl friends by impersonating some society misses. The cast included Edith Jernberg, Marguerite Hilton, Virginia Utter, Helen Strombcrg, Bill Kelly, James Biddle, Sonny Herman, and Bob Kelly. The military drill given by girls from the physical education department offered a thrilling sight. Thirty-two girls dressed in red and white formed figures and lines of an interesting variety to the strains of the ‘‘Stars and Stripes Forever played by the orchestra. Also a tumbling act that called forth exclamations of appreciation was given by a group of boys. Then the boys glee club presented a minstrel show. Specialty numbers were given by the Oriole and the Cotton Blossom Quartets, and by mandolin, accordion, harmonica, and dance soloists. Also a very interesting number, “Under the Old Umbrella, was sung by two girls from the Girls' Glee Club. The program of the day closed with a social hour for the alumni who were among the audience of the evening. Everyone was sure that Bryant’s birthday party was a success and that years from now they will find pleasure in reviewing the joyful event in our school annual, the Junior Life of June, 1933. Rulers for a Day Stand by, all ye Bryantians! Such were the orders when Douglas DuLac and Mary Evelyn Myers, King and Queen for a day, led their court to Nicollet Field on June 2 to participate in the athletic events. Douglas, an amateur magician of fame, did not have to hypnotize the posture judges for their favorable verdict, but he did have to go through some hard exercises with his back perfectly straight before he was chosen posture king. He was especially known for his athletics, but his scholarship was high, too. “Mary has good posture standing, sitting, or running, and that is why I have chosen her. These were the words of the contest judge, and we
