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

Homeroom 111B sponsored by Mr. C. I-I.lHanson, con- sists of 35 B7 's who entered Edison last February. We are endeavoring to fit ourselves quickly into the life of the school by studying industriously and cooperating heartily with our teachers. We have a large number of school savers, many subscribers to Wizard and thirty have bought the new 1930 Annuals. Next year we intend to be 100 per cent homeroom in everything. Homeroom 127A, due to Miss Armstrong, our home- room teacher, has had lots of fun in spite of the fact that We have never won anything. When we are good she passes out cookies she has made or something nice to eat. We have in our homeroom three people who are graduating in June. Also there are two who will graduate by going to summer school. We have in our homeroom several notables, one of whom is Max Prupas. You all know him as a musican. Richard Herzog, known as the second Babe Ruth, is also in our home room. We are very proud of them. Homeroom 127B is composed of thirty-five members of most enthusiastic A7 boys and girls. We are venturing forth under Miss Light's guidance to attain a high standard and keep it during our stay here. We have devoted a great deal of our time to scholarship and as a result, over half of our members are represented in Pentalphean or the honor roll. We are also working hard for merits. Some of our members have charge of the Lost and Found Depart- ment, while others have the honor of serving the hall and oiiice committes. Our Annual sales went over big and We were happy to reach the 10021 mark. We firmly believe in cooperating with the teachers and students and are endeav- oring to develop a superior type of school spirit. Edison Junior High may expect bigger and better things from us Homeroom 129A has had a happy year and succeeded fairly well for We now have several members in the Pental- phean Society. We have had current events on Monday, games, reading or study on the other days and business meeting on Thursday. We have enjoyed several nice parties, the best one our Easter luncheon in Bungalow two. Thirty- four of us were seated at three' long tables, very festive with yellow flowers, place cards and cunning baskets of Etster eggs for favors. The girls planned it all and made the cards and baskets besides preparing a fine luncheon. Not one of us has been sent to the office for discipline since we came to Edison. This is our best record. Mrs. Eklund is our teacher. Page Eighfy-five
