HOMEROOMS 1938 -1939 The homeroom system has evolved over a number of years into our present method of grouping about thirty pupils under one teacher for a period of one year. Until September 1937 a homeroom was an administration unit where pupils met for roll call, dismissal, and special study periods. At the beginning of the junior year of our present senior class, when the activity period was begun, Wednesday of each week was designated as Homeroom Day. During the activity period on that day, pupils gathered in their rooms under the supervision of a teacher and participated in programs of various types. On one Wednesday of each month the period was devoted to the study of Safety, in- cluding automobile driving, fires, hunting, ice skating, the use of oil lamps, and the use of electrical appliances.
