Homeroom 111B sponsored by Mr. C. I-I.lHanson, con- sists of 35 B7 's who entered Edison last February. We are endeavoring to fit ourselves quickly into the life of the school by studying industriously and cooperating heartily with our teachers. We have a large number of school savers, many subscribers to Wizard and thirty have bought the new 1930 Annuals. Next year we intend to be 100 per cent homeroom in everything. Homeroom 127A, due to Miss Armstrong, our home- room teacher, has had lots of fun in spite of the fact that We have never won anything. When we are good she passes out cookies she has made or something nice to eat. We have in our homeroom three people who are graduating in June. Also there are two who will graduate by going to summer school. We have in our homeroom several notables, one of whom is Max Prupas. You all know him as a musican. Richard Herzog, known as the second Babe Ruth, is also in our home room. We are very proud of them. Homeroom 127B is composed of thirty-five members of most enthusiastic A7 boys and girls. We are venturing forth under Miss Light's guidance to attain a high standard and keep it during our stay here. We have devoted a great deal of our time to scholarship and as a result, over half of our members are represented in Pentalphean or the honor roll. We are also working hard for merits. Some of our members have charge of the Lost and Found Depart- ment, while others have the honor of serving the hall and oiiice committes. Our Annual sales went over big and We were happy to reach the 10021 mark. We firmly believe in cooperating with the teachers and students and are endeav- oring to develop a superior type of school spirit. Edison Junior High may expect bigger and better things from us Homeroom 129A has had a happy year and succeeded fairly well for We now have several members in the Pental- phean Society. We have had current events on Monday, games, reading or study on the other days and business meeting on Thursday. We have enjoyed several nice parties, the best one our Easter luncheon in Bungalow two. Thirty- four of us were seated at three' long tables, very festive with yellow flowers, place cards and cunning baskets of Etster eggs for favors. The girls planned it all and made the cards and baskets besides preparing a fine luncheon. Not one of us has been sent to the office for discipline since we came to Edison. This is our best record. Mrs. Eklund is our teacher. Page Eighfy-five

Homeroom 129B is proud to say that each member is trying his very best to get along with his teachers and learn to be a success in life. Individual conferences are held with the sponsor, Miss Packard. Many troubles and difiiculties have been solved in this way. The members of the class find that it is a real achievement to be able to get along with others. To accomplish this most important element of good citizenship requires self control and Work. It does not hurt anybody to try hard. 129B aims to put forth its finest effort. Homeroom 13113, B8 Section A, sponsored by Mr. Davis, has carved a few more notches in its Coos Stick this 1929-30 term. The room was first to subscribe 100 Per cent for the Wizard both semesters. The book store check was won for December. An exhibit of Junior Red Cross pictures was conducted. Two portfolios were prepared to send to schools in Foreign countries in return for the fine folder re- ceived from the Intermediate School in Bagli De Monte Catini, Italy. Two other homerooms have been ind-uced to join the Junior Red Cross through the speeches made by members of this room. Exchange programs have been held with Homeroom 215B. Homeroom 200B numbers thirty-four-seventeen boys and seventeen girls. We are working on a schedule- this semester. We only have one day to study on class work. Monday, Current Events and Topics:Tuesday, study: Wed- nesday, we do not meet: Thursday, Thrift and jokes: Fri- day, a member of the class tells a story. We are considered 100 per cent by our teacher, Mrs. Pegues and will be until we prove otherwise. We are not all school savers nor have we 100 per cent in anything only we feel that we are 100 per cent boys and girls even though we don't get a 100 per cent in all school activities. Homeroom 202A, known as The Good Ship 202A, and its hearty crew have weathered some heavy storms nicely and expect now to find calmer waters and a pleasant voy- age ahead. Of course they have had several attacks by the blood thirsty pirates, English and Math and History, but they feel they have now gained the upper hand. Some have deserted and others have come on deck to replace them, but most of the crew have proved to be good sailors and have stuck by the ship. These sailors are quite ver- satile and have been active in musical, athletic and service organizations. Cartoons drawn by Gabriel Cherry have provided cheer and encouragement throughout the voyage. Miss Ross is the Skipper of 202A. Page Eighty-seifen
