Homeroom 100A feels honored to head the list of home- rooms in the 1930 Annual, and hopes that its record for the year will justify such a prominent position. So far We think We have done pretty Well. Last fall We came dangerously near winning the P. T. A. prize, and While we received no material reward, we made up for it in glory. We were the first A8 homeroom to be 100 per cent for the Annual. We are represented on the Wizard staff by three members: David Van Evera, Literary Editor, Gwendolyn Perry, News Editor and Ona Hourston, Homeroom Editor. Dorothy Remy is the A8 Council Member of the Golden Circle, there- by adding another leaf to our laurel wreath of fame. Our most recent Homeroom activity Was joining the Junior Red Cross, in which organization We hope to have lots of fun as well as a feeling of having done our bit to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Miss Conover is our teacher. Homeroom 100B makes its public appearance With the 1930 Annual. We have been in Edison only since September, but there is no activity in school that has not become ac- quainted With us long ere this. We are represented already in scholastic, musical, and athletic organizations. As a result of our thrifty habits, We are among the ten highest Edison homeroom savers. For A7's, We think we have a record to be proud of. Miss Egan is our teacher. Homeroom 101B, grade B8, is composed of 20 girls and 22 boys. In scholarship we find ourselves represented in the Pentalphean, Promethean and Honor societies. During one semester of the year We were 100 per cent for the Wizard and We are nearing the same for the Annual. The girls have shown good records in Basketball and the boys in Baseball. We are proud of our record in Thrift, having reached fifth place in school. Each Week during the year We have been trying to understand and apply Parliamentary rules. Our sponsor is Mr. Francis. Homeroom 10213, composed of peppy B7's, numbers fourteen girls and nineteen boys. We are very fond of Edison and are trying hard to be Well represented in the honor societies at the close of our Hrst semester here. Our boys have been very successful in the inter-homeroom vol- ley ball games and hope to do as Well in baseball. At the opening of the semester each student brought a good book so we now have a fine library of thirty-one books which may be checked out for a Week at a time. We are using the fines for overdue books to increase our picture fund. Our sponsor is Mrs. Morey. Page Seventy-nine

Homreoom 103A has been very much on the job again this year. Collectively, we have brought honor to our homeroom several times. We subscribed 100 per cent to the Wizard on the first day of the semester in September and again on the first day of the present semester.. We won the biggest prize of the year when we finished the P. T. A. Drive for members with 200 per cent. The 37.50 prize helped to add to our famous collection of good pic- tures. We were not only the first B9 homeroom, but also the first homeroom in the entire school to be 100 per cent School Savings Accounts, and therefore have the coveted Thrift Honor Room banner to decorate our wall. Indi- vidually we have brought honor to our homeroom too. The rosters of the three honor societies have names of 103A students twenty times. Our teacher is MisS.H.JRogers. Homeroom 106A is better than ever. We are showing more interest in school activities than ever before. This is shown by an increase in thrift members, higher scholar- ship and better school spirit generally. We have homeroom rules by which we govern ourselves. Violation of these rules is followed by a jury trial before a judge and black marks are given as penalties. We allow five points against a person to equal one black mark. So far our Judge and jury have had little work to do. We hope our Homeroom stays this way all the time. Our Homeroom teacher is Mr. R. A. Fleischer. Homeroom 106B, sponsored by Mr. Pace, is made up of thirty-six members and has representatives on the Honor Roll, Promethean and Pentalphean societies. We also have a high percentage of School Savers, Annual and Wizard subscribers. We enjoy our Homeroom activities devoted to games, stories, moving pictures and study peri- ods. These activities are conducted by committees ap- pointed at various times by Homeroom ofiicers. The sev- eral Homeroom parties we have had have proved to be a big success. Homeroom 107B, sponsored by Mr. Warren, is nearing the close of its iirst year at Edison. A brief summary of this homeroom's accomplishments might include the following: 100 per cent Wizard subscriptions both semesters, 75 per cent Annual subscription to dateg among the first in Christ- mas donations to the poorg 50 per cent in school savings ac- countsg a very creditable showing in inter-room athletics, parties, entertainments, and feasts galoreg representatives in Pentalphean, Promethean, and Honor societies.
