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

Homeroom 205B has had a very successful year at Edison. We have been hosts to a good many students from other homerooms who came to visit us for iive Weeks. Most of these students were glad to have been with us as We treated them just as if they were one of us. We are well represented on the athletic fields both boys and girls and hope to have the junior handball championship Within our grasp by the end of the year. We aren't Scotch, but to look at our savings accounts, you would surely think We Were. Mr. Martin, our homeroom sponsor, says that we will all be prosperous in our old age if We keep it up. Homeroom 206A is a. peppy group of A8's who have Miss Anshutz for our teacher. This year We have been having one day a week for study, one for entertainment, one for reading and one for games. Several of our group belong to the various honor societies. We have been study- ing vocations and are planning our future careers. Some day we hope to make names for ourselves and for Edison. Homeroom 207B has made a wonderful flight this year and We hope to land on the upper classmen's field with flying colors next year. Among our passengers are Miss Young, our pilot, eleven Pentalpheans, four of whom have their first bar, four honor roll members and one Prome- thean. At the 100 per cent school savings field we were re- ceived by Mr. Gray. Oh boy! what a party he gave! Our space is gone but We must mention our ten dollar P. T. A. prizes which we are still using, thoroughly enjoying. CHow?J Homeroom 208A is a very industrious class during Homeroom time. Some of the boys and girls are making maps, lampshades, diary books, and book-ends. We have some very intelligent students in our Homeroom. We have quite a few boys and girls on the Honor Roll, Promethan and Pentalphean Societies. There are six boys and girls taking B9 Algebra, of which two are taking all B9 subjects. But they liked the Homeroom so well that they decided to stay in 208A instead of going on to a B9 Homeroom. Mrs. Phillips is our Homeroom sponsor. Page Eighty-nine
