Homeroom 325A is proud of its athletic record. Jack Roberts, our volleyball captain, led his braves--Navarro, Copfer, Miller, Watkins, and Shiloif to an Eighth Grade Playground League victory. Our baseball team, likewise, is going out after the pennant. Four of our girls-Lucille Flores, Claudia Stanfield, Opal Berring, and Doris Campbell of the Shoot Em Thru basketball squad were Period Champions. Futhermore, Doris won the highest Decathlon honors for Eighth Grade girls. One of our most interesting activities has been a checker tournament, though, at pres- ent, the winner has not been crowned with his laurel. Mrs. Wright is our teacher. Homeroom 325B has enjoyed its second year at Edison very much. We are proud of our few Honor Roll members and winners of the Pentalphean bar. Miss Marquardt has been reading The White House Gang to us, and we have enjoyed the interesting experiences of these boys in our Nation's Capital. On Thursdays, we are entertained by our own talent, and on Wednesdays we play games. Homeroom 326B is quite alive. There are thirty-four of us who are full of pep and enthusiasm. We enjoy contests a great deal, and that may explain to a certain extent Why we experienced the thrill of being the first one hundred per cent homeroom for the Annual. We shall never forget the day that the thirty-sixth person subscribed. But we antici- pate many such big days next year so just watch us. Miss Elma H. Rogers is our homeroom teacher. Homeroom 327A has broken another non-stop record. We have been at Edison during five semesters and we are quite positive that no other homeroom class has ever done more talking or made more noise unnecessarily. We really can't understand how our teacher tolerates us. Being ninth graders, we determined to make a good scholastic record, and having achieved this, all these other things have been added unto us . Before another Edison Annual is pub- lished, we shall have passed into the third unknown of our educational flight, there to beat our former records. Mr. Thomson is our teacher.

I-lfomeroom 327B is completing its first year at Edison- Since the beginning of the second semester, we have felt more grown-up because we have been writing our grade as A7 instead of B7. This was the first milestone in our pro- gress through the school. We have now passed the second one and are looking forward to those we shall pass next year as eighth graders. As the proper use of time is a valu- able asset in furthering our school success, we have put forth a considerable effort toward acquiring good study habits and feel that we have made considerable progress. Mr. Dryden is our sponsor. Homeroom 328A had a very enjoyable year. It was not as successful as most of us Wanted it to be. However, we still have one more try for a successful year when We are ninth graders next year. Mr. Guercio, our teacher, and William Redwine, our president, planned the follow- ing Weeky program for us. On Mondays, we had stories read to us. This semester we had animal stories. We read story books or magazines on Tuesday. Thursday we stud- ied. The homeroom entertained with stories, singing, danc- ing, and music on Fridays. Although We have some school savers, P. T. A. members and Wizard subscribers, we are still far from one hundred per cent. Our representatives are working hard for a more successful year when we are ninth graders. We had a fine Annual campaign and came very near one hundred per cent. Watch out for 328A next year. This is homeroom 395313. Grade R7-1. speaking over station E. J. H. Tune in folks! You will hear the latest news from Edison. We are undertaking to sneak through the Annual. We find it great to be junior high students, espe- cially to be Edisonites. We were 100W Wizard the first ten minutes of life in our homeroom in Edison. We are al- most 100'Z1 for the Annual and in nearly all other acivi- ties, and duties such as returning cards, inviting parents to P.-T. A., and in securing memberships. Our success is due to cooperation with our homeroom teacher, Mr. Beeson. Homeroom Bungalow IIA, was the first all girls class at Edison. The membership ranges around 20. One of the activities has been the serving of several luncheons. Eight of the girls are in the A9 class and will graduate this year. Dorothy Smith as Thrift Representative and Mary Graham, as member of the Inner Circle of the Golden Circle, have served their room most creditably. Mrs. Alfa Wood Anderson is our sponsor.
