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.

Homeroom 108B, a B7 class, has started out with a fine Edison spirit. Mr. Livengood is our sponsor. We purchased a fine bust of Charles Lindberg for the room with the money received for Winning the February book store pro- fit sharing check. The class was quite willing to make up the difference between the cost of the bust and the amount of the check. The boys volleyball and baseball teams did very well in the playground league. They won a large percentage of games played because of the fine spirit in the class. The girls bought more Annuals than the boys, so the boys had to give a party as a penalty for losing the contest, Homeroom 109A is a B9 group. During the Wizard drive, the boys had a contest with the girls to see which could get the most subscriptions. The boys Won, and the girls gave the boys a fine Easter party as their treat. The homeroom lacked only one subscription of being 100 per cent subscribers at that time. Now they are having a con- test for Annual subscriptions, with the winners to be de- cided on a percentage basis, since the boys outnumber the girls. Last semester, we had six members of Pentalphean Society. three members of Honor Society and one Prome- thean. Miss Dye is our sponsor. Homeroom 109B may not be the largest homeroom in Edison Junior High, but there is certainly no other that has caught the real spirit of Edison in one semester as this one. These boys and girls are real Americans. They have proved beyond a doubt, that they appreciate the efforts that are being made by all concerned in giving them the very best Possible advantages to acquire an education. Some people are born rich, others with good looks, while others are just lucky. Then there are those who do not have enough of either of the three qualifications named to get them through life, so it is for them to keep plodding away, content to take what is meted out to them and make something Worth While out of it. Mr. Webb is our teacher. Homeroom 111A is most prominent in the field of athletics. The boys won iirst place in indoor baseball. In the volley ball games they Won second place. The girls won the championship of Senior Division I in basket ball. They also came out victorious in the game between Division I and Division II. Philomene Williams was their captain. We have a checker club and a dramatic club Within the homeroon as well as a general game club. Mrs. Hayes is our teacher. 'Page Eighty-three
