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

Homeroom 209A, a 100 per cent All Talking Human- phone classic in 35 parts, has been showing at the Edison Playhouse for nearly eighty weeks. While this is a record to be proud of, its director fand severest critich, Mr. Perry, recently voiced the opinion that they would no doubt be requested to stay for a full one hundred and twenty weeks -and even then be held over by popular demand. Particu- lar features of this production are claimed to be C15 the starting of a boy's cooking class fyou taste as Well as seel, C29 the large representation in student activities, 131 the comparing of 209A's intelligence to that of rats by Working mazes fthe results will not be made publicj, and C45 its motto of Every Day a Red Letter Day-Except Report Card Day. Homeroom 210A sponsored by Mrs. Mowery is compos- ed of A8 students who have become loyal Edisonites and good friends. Although we have not reached our expecta- tions this year, we are proud to be represented in the Prom- ethean and Pentalphean Societes and on the honor roll. Four of us participated in the Operetta. We also have members in the orchestra, band and glee clubs and on the yard squad. As the crowning event of the year, our Indian stud- ent, James Vennink, took first prize in the Carnival. Homeroom 211B is different When we say different, we mean diiferent. We have the unique distinction of being the only homeroom in Edison Junior High that hasn't any girls in it, with the exception of one other homeroom. Although we're only A7's, We are not so bad when it comes to athletics. John Schmidt is president. Mr. Pres,- ley, our homeroom teacher, came to us fromArizona in Feb- ruary. He formerly taught at Edison, but was away for a year and a half. He must have liked California better, for he came back to Edison again. Homeroom 212B, composed of B7 students, has be- come very enthusiastic over the privilege of becoming a part of the Edison student body. We hope that our nine members who made A in both cooperation and eiort, and the nineteen who made B or better the first ten Weeks, have demonstrated our desire to be real Edisonites. Y have discovered two clever dancers, Pearl Beach and Betty DeCowe. Bertha Davidson has amused us many times with her funny monologues. Esther Phillips has sung very nicely. The boys as Well as the girls have given entertain- ing recitations. Mrs. Hopkins is our sponsor. Page Ninety-one
