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

Homeroom 215A, sponsored by Mr. Carpenter, held their class election in February,electing Joe Mauntz presi- dent, Lulu Latino vice-president, Margaret Green secretary, and Troy Callas homeroom reporter. Our ninth grade after school volley ball team won nine out of ten games. The Players were Joe Mautz, captain, William Schepeit, William Sindona, Troy Callas, and John Dalton. We are out for the ninth grade after school baseball and track cham- pionships, hoping to win the ninth grade school banner. Homeroom 215B enjoys the opportunities at Edison and tries to show our appreciation by loyalty and service. Twenty-five are Promethean, Pentalphean or Honor Roll students, some are members of all three. We have served on P. T. A. programs, at evening performances and assemblies. Reading, programs and parties afford us many good times. We had an oriental party when we wore east- ern costumes, told oriental stories and jokes and ate cur- ried rice with chop sticks. Our teacher, Mrs. Carpender, gave a party to those who received no black marks during the semester. Honor students wore ribbons of Edison blue and gold. Those receiving black marks were permitted to at- tend when each agreed to the punishment of wearing a black ribbon. We are members of the Junior Red Cross. Homeroom 220A, A8, Section 4, is quite proud of its record in School Service. as we have about twelve on yard and safety committees. Elenora Mathisen holds the record in Scholarship, being a member of the Promethean, Pen- talphean and Honor Societies. We have decided that We .ieed three days a week for study now. Mr. Lewis is trying in experiment giving us A8 Math and B9 Algebra both, and We have to study hard. Some of us scored so high on the Reading Comprehension test that we are taking B9 En- glish. On Friday we learn Spanish songs and games, have a program, or our teacher, Miss Hewitt, reads to us. Homeroom 225B, B7-3, although new to our school, is rapidly becoming a loyal and enthusiastic group of Edi- son workers. Our boys have been successful in inter-class athletic contests, and some of us hope to also make worthy scholarship records. Our girls are ambitious for honors in their classes, and many are willing workers in the Gol- den Circle. We are interested in a study of Thrift and means of saving, under the capable leadership-'of our class officers and thrift representatives Wehave a Weekly pro- gram of reading for enjoyment and of study of various topics which may aid in planning our school life. We are sponsored by Mrs. Browning- - Page Ninety-th-ree
