As one enters, the stands on the warm gray carpets, instantly im- l ' f, FRIENDS ON GRAYACAREETS presses him. To the right may be seen the filing cabinets, the omce catalog, and Mrs. Struthers' office. On the left is Mr. Brown's office, Mr. VVilson's oliice being the next adjoining room. The bits of color and pretty reed furniture easily attract the eye towards Mrs. Struthers' office. The Avenue of Eucalyptus , a very pretty picture, greets one as he stands at the doorway, and the lovely flowers and ferns make one feel at home. Mr. Brown is greatly fond of the outdoor, and the colorful lake picture which hangs on the wall of his ofnce shows it. Cut Leader Mr. Arthur C. Brown, our principal, as directing head of the school, is concerned most of all with everything that is for the best interest of McKinley. As far as possible, Mr. Brown wishes everyone placed for his own best expression, and for the best welfare of the school. He is ever ambitious to see that we have proper space in which we can enjoy our games during gymnasium and at noon. NVe owe our nne buildings and modern equipment to Mr. Brown, and through his jovial spirit, he has created a happy, wholesome, cheerful and busy atmosphere about the school. l gif FRiENDs ON GRAY CARPETS I The Girls' Guide Mrs. Struthers is suitably called the Girl's Guide, and is often consulted with girls' troubles. But, not only with troubles, for it pleases Mrs. Struthers to hear of the girls' successes. The social side of our school life is also due to her, as she has charge of parties and assembly calls. Mrs. Struthers arranges the teachers' and students' programs. which requires a great deal of time and enduring patience. ,The Boys' Friend Mr. Wilsons jovial nature makes everyone like to be with him. He solves the boys' problems, and is very enthusiastic about their physical and athletic wel- fare. When teachers are in need of new equipment, they apply to Mr. Wilson, who because of his generous nature, never refuses. Every pupil who enters our school for the first time meets Mr. Wilson, who gives the tests to see where the pupils are to be placed. -I 1. l f- N- f -- - - --+f-wwf----g----+-f-W-W-+1-1-?-il :J .- - ' ' - ,l FRIENDS ON GRAY CA-IQPETS The School's Secretary Miss Miller acts as Mr. Brown's secretary, and has proved herself very efficient. She is responsible for the school reports whic hare sent to the Super- intendent's office. Miss Miller solves the students' problems when she can do so, without referring to her principals. Our secretary loves animals, and it no longer surprises the oftice force to see her enter with a little stray dog which she found on the street, and is anxious to take care of. In Charge of State Text Books Miss Gamble has charge of the State text books and the covers for themg and a full sized job it is, to keep them in order and conditiong to assess fines for lost and damaged books, and to make the detailed requisitions and reports to the State Department. She is gracious in assisting the pupils who have lost books, and does her best to see that the books are found. Another very important work is done by Miss Gamble-the filing of the pupils' records. She makes a record of every mark given by the teachers for each pupil in the school, which record is kept in the office safe for years and years after the pupil has graduated. Every pupil knows Miss Gamble and recognizes her as his friend.-Rose Rirxrzlbrrg, A9, V- . A , L... 'f FRIENDS ON GRAY CARPETS 1 M, A Diller, a Dollar, a Ten O'Clock Scholar It is eight o'clock.

Othce Assistants The office girls are very busy persons, and their work seems never to be finished. There are always a great many envelopes to be addressed and mailed. and many telephone messages to give and calls to answer. They are often called upon to distribute notices around the school, and papers to be signed by the many teachers are given over to them. They supply information to new-comers, and to the boys and girls that come to the ofnce. Many boys and girls come to the oHice seeking lost articles or to turn in things that have been found lying about the grounds. The girls must file reports and programs, and keep the office in apple-pie order, picking up stray papers, and in general putting things to rights. The omce girl is supposed to be at all times polite to everyone she comes in Contact With, and set a good example for other children to follow. Their watch- word is Co-operationf'-Edna Taylor, A9. - L l , n 1 f FRIENDS oN GRAY CARPETS 1 Friends Around the Long Table The Board of Control was organized in 1913, and has accomplished many things for McKinley within the last six years. The members are elected by the pupils, two from each class, and are supervised by Mr. Brown. The term of office is one year. VVe wonder sometimes if the pupils of McKinley fully realize what the Board of Control has done to improve the school. The Board represents and manages the affairs of the Student Body. Xhlhile. of course, it is not possible for the Board, or even the Student Body, actually to provide very much in way of improvement, we can all do our part. And it has been the part of the Board to suggest and encourage and work for some of the best things lX lcKinley has at the present time. It was at the suggestion of pupils through the Board of Control that the Cabin in the mountains was purchased, where venture occasionally groups of pupils accompanied by a teacher. The cafeteria was started under encouragement of the Board. At first it was crowded into a room about the size of a class room, the kitchen, the serving counter, and the tables all in one room. Now it occupies a large part of our new building, and every day supplies about eight hundred pupils with luncheons. Great things come from small beginnings. It was the Board of Control that suggested the need of the Candy Store and the Book Store, and helped ta bring belore the teachers the pupils' desire for these things. The present Board has taken it as their responsibility to get the moving picture machine. The pictures to be shown will be decided upon by Mr. Brown and the Board. VVon't it be a grand and glorious feeling to attend real movies at Mcliinley and to know that the macine that shows them is ou own machine? This moving picture machine is to pay not only for itself but also for the beautiful curtain on our stage. Now, if the dimes come in rapidly enough, we may gain the name of Curtain Raisern, for we surely want that curtain paid for. The various ollicers of the present Board are: Philip Albers, president, Ruth Adcock, vice-president, Floyd XVilson, secretary, Margaret Thomas, treasurer. The previous Boards of Control at McKinley have tried very hard to create 'eff ' . ' ' t ' 1 'Snr iI 'fi'fW- -L -. are ef- rr aww- 7 . f g ' ' ' ' H Y ' V wsrL3?se 2w annie , . .

Friends Among Friends The girls' council is working for the school. It is an organization made up of twelve girls, usually two from each grade. These girls are reliable and capable of holding their position. The duty of the council is to help the principals :ml the school in general. They hold their meetings once a week, and discuss agairs of the school. The president is usually a ninth grader, who has been a pupil of this school longer than the other members. Most pupils think that the council is an organization formel to witcfm :ini report the doings of the other students, l.ut it is the councii's work to help to en force Qie different rules of the school, and to the best of their ability see that they ar: carried out. The girls' gymnasium teachers preside over the meetings, and mils: suggestions and alterations where they think it is necessary, for the gool of the school.

The banner of Old Glory waves gracefully above the entrance, reminding all of the duties and responsibilities we owe for all our wonderful privileges. This spacious reading room is used at all periods of the day as well as before- of reference, special topics, and pleasure reading. The quiet, restful atmosphere affords a change so necessary for tired students, under the light from high win- dows, soft and ideal for reading and studying.-Edna Taylor, A9g l'Vi71lllfl'CClv Tlzead, AS, Audrey Shultz, AS. Adventures of a New Book Wlien a new book comes into our library, it is the work of the assistants to initiate it. Of course, the book is new and stiff, and it has to be limbered so the binding will not break when it goes into use. Then comes the collating-or in other words, looking through the book to see that all of the pages have been put in, and in the right order. The check pocket, and date slip are then put in the front of the book. The McKinley stamp is put on five different places to show that the book is a member of the Knowledge Club and belongs strictly to our school library. The most prominent officer of the club, the librarian, then prints neatly the name of the book, the number, if it happens to be a non-fiction hook, and the name of the author on the check and the pocket. She then does what is called cata- loguingg that is, makes a record of it on a card and puts it in our lovely, light-oak library catalogue file. Ljast, but not least, is the work of finding a home on the shelf and getting acquainted with its neighbors. Thus it becomes of use to the pupils.-Jumzilzi Selby and Edith Kziapp. la-..-+.a. ..-,'. -- .,.,, s -,. ' , . .. - ' .. A I INTlMATE EoM13AN'ioNs Library Assistants In order to have a excellent library, we must have girls to assist in its upkeep. And they require training. A beginner hrst learns the Dewey Classification Card, which is a tedious process. This helps her to know where the books are so that she can find them without diliiculty. The next thing is to learn how to paste pockets and date slips in books, limber and collate them, shelve books, and straighten the library. VV hen she knows and can do this thoroughly, she is ready for her next term. In her second term she hasn't as much to learn as in her lirstg but oh, how proud she is to be in her second term. Yet she soon hnds out it isn't all pride and fun. She goes into the harder part of her work with a zeal that shows what true McKinley library girls are. t Besides sitting at the desk and stamping books, an experienced library girl must ble checks alphabetically by their second number. Furthermore, she must learn cataloguing. But just because she is in her second term does not mean that she does not do some things that she did in her first term. Vllhen the first term girls are extremely busy, the experienced girl helps straighten the room and shelve books. None of the girls in our library is loud or boisterous, but they are all quiet and set an example as to the way people should act in a library. Many library girls continue their work in high school and some of them are able to assist in the summer in the city libraries. After a girl has taken library work a term, she may have the honor of wearing a library pin. lVouldn't you like to be a library assistant ?-Vim Fzrclis. AS. I g . . .

Here the student body, with the aid of parents and teachers, operate a modern cafeteria with steam tables, for all who wish service, comfortable chairs, and a commodious room in which to eat delicious warm food, salads, and desserts. The Commissary If you should peep into the store room of the cafeteria, you would see many tins of fruits and vegetables. There are also many bins of rice, beans, macaroni, and spaghetti. All these things are obtained by our pennies and nickels. We hgure the food on a cost basis, selling as near that cost of materials and labor as possible. Many times classes take excursions to find the best food Then we buy that kind. It is delivered and checked into the storeroom. Every time anything is used it is checked out of this stock. An inventory of stock is taken once a month, at the time when bills are paid, to determine the state of our business. The Cash Registers Along the line, after we have the food on our trays, we come to where we part with our pennies. A student adds up the amount, and rings it up on the cash reg- ister, and since we have our change ready, our time in the line is but a few minutes. This pupil working as cashier is taught accuracy and ehiciency. This year a very capable boy from an A9 Commercial Arithmetic class has taken charge of the registers and the records for the cafeteria. Wheiiever he needs a recommendation for a place as cashier, or any position in which he needs to handle money, his record as cashier in the cafeteria will help him. The three cash registers were purchased from the net proceeds of the food sales. These proceeds are small because the foods bought are the best and the selling prices are low. The money accumulated at the end of a year is spent for up-keep of equipment and such necessities as cash registers, dishes, and repairs. i i T' T 1 T in i 1 f l I s L , l i ll- Eef 1 PoLLY PUT TEE-TCET-TLE CN Service Through the Unit Kitchen Although many departments co-operate with the cafeteria,-the shop, the printing department, and the sewing department,-the most help is, of course, re- ceived from the cooking rooms. The girls who have cooking in Unit Kitchen H. R. 7 help the cafeteria in many ways. When help in the cafeteria is unavoidably detained, these cooking girls come to the rescue. Out come the pots, tins, kettles and fry pans. How busy they are! Each girl cooks an amount that would do for her family, and serves it directly to the cafeteria by means of the dumb waiter which operates between the cooking rooms and the cafeteria. The girls appreciate the opportunity to cook in a quantity. Service Given by the Boys and Girls Did you ever stop to think what a busy little world our cafeteria is? At a few minutes after twelve the cafeteria helpers are all hurriedly being served their lunches and are putting on their caps and aprons to go to do their different tasks. The dish-scrapers are on the job, scraping all the dishes to have them ready to be carried to the dish-washers. By the cheerful co-operation of the pupils, all dishes are taken to the scrapers by the ones who use them, where they are cleaned, and carried by other helpers to the dish-washers. There are still other helpers who operate the electric washer, wash and dry the dishes and the silver.. In this way, almost all dishes, trays, and silver are clean and ready for use at one o'clock. The Help from the Parents How do our parents help? By appreciating the benefits of a hot dish at noon to supplement our cold lunches of sandwiches and fruit. If each one of us does not purchase the hot food, we would have no need for a cafeteria. Five of our parents have come into our kitchen to help get this food ready for us. They are Mrs. Jessie D. Hammond, Mrs. Donnie Ellis, Mrs. Louise Sicker, Mrs. Hildur Calvin, and Mrs. Riviera. T -- - r -for - 1 g l .

R. 26, Jane Canatella, Angelina Bruno, Mary Dangelo, and Lena Governale, made some raviolis in Miss MorreIl's cook- ing room. We started them the sixth period and cooked until the end of the eighth. Mary and Lena made the dough and the tomato sauceg Jane and Angelina made the Iilling and the meat balls. Mrs. Struthers, Miss Trowbridge, Miss Cone, Miss Newcomer, Miss Clapp, Mr. Beeson, and many other teachers came to watch us and were great- ly interested. When the raviolis were done we sent some of them to the various teachers who had been in to visit us. They said they liked this Italian dish very much. The girls in our class enjoyed them also. We had learned to make raviolis from our mothers, and were glad to dem- onstrate them to the class, in exchange for the American ideas that we carry into our home. Miss Morrell complimented us on our co-operation and the inter- est that was maintained.-Lena Gozfermzle, AS. Favor Making Miss Morrell's ninth grade cooking classes devote a lesson to the making of favors. Miss Trowbridge takes charge of this lesson and teaches the girls the fundamentals of working with tissue paper. Some of the girls last fall took orders for favors that were made especially for Thanksgiving. One of the ideas that turned out to be very attractive was a basket hung from a tripod. The colors were brown and two shades of yellow. Some of the suggestions received were carried out in green and red for the Christmas tables at home. Our room for this lesson was decorated with a kewpie bride and groom standing under a wedding bell, which could be used for a bride's party. These lessons are great- ly appreciated and enjoyed by all.-Marie Taylor, A9. - l . i l 4 I 1 T i gi 1 . Y , i E I 1 POLLY rqr THE KETTLE ON fp Last term an interesting series of dainty luncheons was served to various members of the faculty by Miss Morrell's A9 cooking class. The table decora- tions were made by the girls after having received instructions from Miss Trow- bridge. Four groups of girls planned and gave these luncheons, each group electing a captain. For the graduation luncheon they sent out invitations in the form of small diplomas tied with their class colors, American Beauty and White. The color scheme was carried out in the class colors. At the Christmas luncheon an interesting menu was served, and the favors were tiny baskets of rose petals in red with green frills, thus repeating the Christmas colors. The menu was: Fruit salad Cheese crackers Boneless bird Mashed potatoes Cranberry jelly Green peas Celery Mince pie Coffee Salted nuts. These luncheons show the students' ability to plan and execute luncheons as successfully and independently as if they were in their own homes. -X Bread Making Our experience making bread proved to be most interesting. Conditions for making bread are never ideal at school, but this bread received much praise from those who ate it.

My, but the odor made our hungry fellow-students' months water! Those who especially inspected the final product of all this pleasant labor were Mrs. Struthers, Miss Trowbridge, Miss Noble, and Miss Hobart, and they gave us much praise,- Eflwl Mac Davis. Tidbits and Sweetmeats Everybody likes to visit the little store under the bridge. No one has to go to Alaska to get Eskimo pies, for Katherine Pennachio sells them. And she gets them in the following way: first, the National Ice Cream Company has them imported from somewhere in Alaskag then they are delivered to McKinley in a large truck. They are put into a can with ice all around to keep them from getting warm. About eighteen dozen are sold every day, for the children love liskimo pies. Across the passage stands another store full of goods, things that you like to eat-chocolate bars and lemon drops,-and all day suckers for the A9's. Two girls of Mcliinley sell the candy, Tillie Benkle and Leona Redmond. The candy store always keeps fresh candy, and if you have not visited it, you are invited to do so soon.--Ry the Salasgirls.

One of the pupils on the program wrote to Mrs. Roosevelt, telling her about the program given. Following is the letter which she wrote: Dear Mrs. Roosevelt: On the birthday of your beloved husband, we of McKinley junior l-Iigh School gave a program in honor of him. It was the first mem- orial program given in our new auditorium, which seats over a thousand persons. One feature of this program was the gift of a beautiful picture of Mr. Roosevelt to the school by the student body. The president of the W'24 graduating class presented it. Mrs. Struthers, the vice-principal, received the picture, and gave a splendid talk on Mr. Rooseve1t's noble character. The picture now hangs in the main hall of our school, so that everyone may look upon his countenance and be inspired to be more like him. Believing that you will be interested to hear how Mr. Roosevelt's life is still influencing the young people to become better American citi- zens in faraway California, and to receive a program, I take liberty of sending you one.

October 31--Faculty and students enjoyed a concert given by the jubilee Singers. There were songs of various types, among which the humorous pre- dominated. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot was a song enjoyed by all. The recita- tion, When the Co'n Pone's Hot, called forth much appreciative applause and laughter. Novcunber I2-Armistice day was observed by singing patriotic songs, led by Mrs. Netz. A brief talk was given by Mr. Brown. N ooember 27--T116 whole afternoon given over to concert by McKinley tal- ent. It was a wonderful success,-solos, girls' glee club, orchestra, and every- thing. Everybody enjoyed it. December 5- Chimmy McFadden, a well known news editor, visited our school and gave us a splendid talk on the value of an education and advised us to make the best of our opportunities. Mr. McFadden is known all over the United States for his generosity and kindness. He recited a poem to us en- titled, just he de Feller Dat Yo Mudder T'inks You Are. Mr. McFadden wrote this poem when he was but a small lad. In this small and boyish verse he showed the appreciation that all children should hold for their parents. December 9-Auilltflflllm call to remind the pupils of the Harding Memor- ial Fund and incidentally to advertise Their Tomorrowsf' December 13-The first performance of Their Tomorrowsf' by the A9's. This play was a good illustration of the way life unfolds for the student who lives up to the motto of the Wiiitei' Class of '24: Face life squarely. After the close of Act. IV, the Goddess of Liberty appeared, holding alooft the torch of Freedom, and concluded with a stirring appeal: Your country calls you to a quest, To work, to strive with steady nerve, To help, to sacrifice, to serve: America calls-and she must have your best. December I4-Everybody surprised at being called to attend a delightful Christmas program, given entirely by the pupils. Mr. Brown was first to give us a merry greeting. The girls' glee club and the junior boys' glee club enter- tai-ned us with Christmas songs, giymg all a real Christmas spirit. An apprg- priate little play was given, called Upon the Watersq It was so called because it referred to the Bible promise, Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. The players were Eyelyn Winnen, Louis Fehr, Vivian Rogers, Helen Rand, Easter Cass, and Fred lsldred. Evelyn WIHIICH took the part of a lovable old lady. She cast her bread upon the waters continually to the great objection Effie-1 , K MANYJA GATHERINGTGAY 1 ' of her brother and daughter-in-law, who did not believe that she would find it after many days. And then Santa Claus came. Remember how merry he was, and how he won a smile from even the crabbed daughter-in-law of the play? And, oh, that tree! Did you know that Mrs, Lyon's father gave us that tree? What a good time we had collecting the things that were heaped about it that day on the stage! Of course you remember it. January Q-CIROIDHHCC of Electricity, the first motion picture given in our auditorium, was enjoyed by all. fanzmry I6-We were entertained by 'four members of the Orpheus Club. This quartet was recommended to the Board of Control as one of the finest groups in the state and to this recommendation we all agreed after the performance. They gave a variety of song, and showed great ability and harmony. We liked especial- ly Barney Google, Carolina Mammyf' Mighty Lak a Rose, The Bugle Song and Carmena. January 231Tl1C Board of Control candidates were presented to the stu- dent body. Janurary 28-The A9's winter class of '24 presented the play of Aladdin, or the VVonderful Lamp,'l adapted from the old fairy tale, by Miss Irene Adler and Mrs. Elsie C. Bartlett. The parts were learned as part of the work in Oral English, under the direction of Mrs. Bartlett, and most of the stars in the play had one or ' 5 'f-fm 'f f -' . -ff-'z --, V 1 ,. -- ..- . 1 1 i'jjyJ,'k,., .

The Prologue, which we are here quoting, was delivered by Rose Barken in a very delightful way. In the land of dreams and fancies, In the realm of fairy lore, We bid you dzuell with us again, And be a child once more. Imaginationiv pages shall for you enroll, And to your heart unfold a tale In quaint Arabic scroll. A tale of far-off orient, With its balmy spice-laden breeze, Its iris skies and limivid pools, O'cr hung with shady trees. A tale of gold and jeweled fruit, Of wondrous geniig And palaces transported In the twinkling of an eye, And ever the tail is unfolding, And ever you list with delight To the story of Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp ' Told one Arabian night. The characters of the play were as follows: Aladdin, by Elvirn Bickley, was portrayed in a most capable manner. We were glad that Aladdin was the h-:ro of our story instead of the wicked magician. The Magician, played by Louis Fehr, with his villianous voice and clev- L i I I '. 'sl ' I . I 1 MANY A GATHERING GAX er acting was exceptional. Princess Belroubador, by Katherine Lake, was handled very delightfully. The Sultan, by Edward Lemaux and Wilmot Car- roll on different occasions, was produced far above expectations. A1addin's mother, by Gladys Clement, was very well represented. Gladys and her faint- ing proved to be a great success. The Fruit Vender, by Charles Gincig, was acted well, but if he was so free at giving the fruit away, why didn't he pass it to the audience? The Magicians Servitor, by John Rime, was well represented, and the Genie of the Ring, by Allan Bishop, made the play thrilling. The two Fan Bearers, by Edward Lemaux and William Grooves, also the two- Nubian Body Guards, by Philip Albers and Edwin Griffith, were as black as night, and their parts were taken as cleverly as their make-up was put on. The Grand Vizier, by .Charles Urbaneck, who was so eager for court favors, caused great laughter and applause. The Sultan's T rain-bearer, by Joe, Duke, was acted with all the dignity of a real court attendant. His size was in keeping with his part. Amina, by Frances Eisenman, and the Maid of the Princess, by Frances. Montez, were excellently portrayed. The First Petitioner, Ali Hassan, by Ed- ward Ingling, and the Second Petitioner, his wife, by Gertrude Bultman, were V' T ' a .. ' Yi' . TL-f 'rr ' ff A ' 1.1, 54,1 , V ,H 1 ', ' ..- 'X 'I MANY A GATHERING GAY 1 delivered in such a realistic manner as to cause much applause. Longfellow's poems could not be compared in the least way with Edward's. . The Court Lackeys and the Ladies in Waiting were students of the glee clubs. Their costumes and formal manner would add great beauty to any court. Aladdin's Soldiers and The Courtiers were also members of the glee club. Their splendid uniforms and costumes helped to produce a gorgeous scene. The Incense Bearers performed their duties wellg but where was the incense? The Gem Gearers, Clarence Lock and Enrique Murga, performed well and actually delivered the gems. The Court Musicians, by Dorothy Plum- mer and Leota Pritchard, were well represented, but they played so softly that it was difficult to hear their music from the balcony. Probably our radio wasn't working. The entertainment for the Princess Belroubador and Aladdin consisted in The Tumblers, Vivian Rogers and Clara Wallucks, who played like professionalsg Oriental Poses, given by Mary Alice Miller in a very skillful and artistic man- ner, which were greatly appreciaterlg T he Rainbow Fantasy, under the direction of Miss Cone, in which sixteen girls of different grades took part, mostly the A9's, which was produced with accuracy and ability, and received hearty ap- plaiuscg and the Gift of the Flowers, also under the direction of Miss Cone, composed of students of various classes, who rendered the drill with exceptional ability and rhythmg and the Song of Rejoicing, composed by Miss Adler, which brought the act to a close.

It was hardly believable that such a magnificent production could be accomplished by junior high school pupils. Cofoperation Between Departments Perhaps the best explanation of the success of the play lies in the fact that every department of the school showed much interest, and most of them took active part in making the play. The English department helped to create the spirit of fairyland by encouraging the reading of the fairy tales of all na- tions, until it was no trouble at all for us to appreciate the genii and the magic of the wizard. Although this reading was not, of course, a part of the pro- duction itself, yet it had a very telling effect upon the audience, A great deal of the work of certain other departments was done before the play took place. and perhaps would not be recognized by one who did not know about it. Importance of Stage Craft The good work of the stage craft boys was helpful. The stage crew has just as important a part as the main characters in the play, in fact, a play would not be a success without the stage settings which are carefully placed to have it appear at its best. The scenes must be changed rapidly and accurately to in- sure smoothness in the thread of the play. Some of the scenes are very high and awkward, but must be moved quickly and quietly without any false motions. ..-.Aan wa. . . . .Y - ' -- H rw ' ill? I li X i l ,lil I l K g MANY A GATHERING GAY a j The boys have learned a great deal about stage craft in the short time they have been studying it. It affords valuable training, and it is also a pleasure for the boys who take an interest in helping McKinley Junior High School make its plays success ful. Mr. Perry is the director. Work Done in the Shops The platform for the throne, the scenery for the cave, and the swords were made by the boys of the shop department. This required a great deal of planning and measuring, as well as the actual cutting and sandpapering. The boys had to be very careful not to break or crack the swords. Some of these were painted, while others were covered with silver paper, by pupils in the art de- partment. Perhaps the hardest part was the platform for the throne. Many boys left their own work just to work on the platform so it would be ready for the play. After it was measured and assembled, under the direction of Mr. Brauer, the boys carried it to the stage and finished it there. Other boys were fastening black paper on the platform to make it look nicer. The trees in the cave, on which hung the wonderful fruit, which Miss Trowbridge showed us how to make, were made in the woodshops under cli- 'X it g 'ix il .H , I w . v X B . 5 4 W 1 4 l I , .

Although the wonderful efiects produced by the lighting ot the stage were really the work of professionals hired for the occasion, yet the boys from the shops with Mr. Smith in charge, helped in the wiring and the labor necessary for this part of the effect. Preparation of Materials for the Costumes The art department and the sewing department worked in real co-operation in producing the draperies and costumes for the play. Many girls with the McKinley spirit stayed after school to help with the work. Much time was spent in the libraries looking up the historical basis of the costumes. VVhen the sort of costumes desired had been selected, under direction of Mrs. Lyon, girls were sent to get many samples of material from different stores. After pictures of the costumes had been drawn, and the colors and kinds of materials decided up- on, some of the A9 girls were sent to purchase hundreds of yards of material, such as japanese crepe, sateen, silkoline, corduroy and cheese-cloth. The girls who attended to this work were: Norma Bullard, Gladys Clement, Mabel Dwyer, Nelie Gardner, I-leleu Reimer, Ethel Fenlon, Gertrude Bultman, and VV ini f red Primus. One hundred and fifty yards of unhleachecl muslin were dyed. If an article was too dark, some color had to be boiled out. If it was too light, it had to he dyed a darker color. After the goozls was dyed, it had to be ironed, cut, . A. r H ' , , ' .

The hloomers anzl Capes were black. The little coats were of a beautiful Ainerican Beauty trimmed in royal purple. The vests were of dark henna with black stripes across them. ii Ti 1 l.

Every time the actors would put the costumes on, rip !-they would tear and would have to be sewed again. The boys had a terrible time getting into their costumes. One tried to get both legs where one should have been, and said the suit was too small. The fitting of the costumes gave the sewing teachers an opportunity to get acquainted with the boys, and they found them just as true to McKinley as the girls. The Making of Accesories Most of the accessories and small properties used in the play were made in the art department. The head dresses were cut and decorated according to artistic designs true to the spirit of the time represented. These were elaborate and beautiful. The shields carried by the soldiers, and the fans ot the ladies were intricately decorated with designs made to ht the beautiful shapes. These were conspicuous in the Court scene, although it would require close inspec- tion to show the real work on them. The classes made about Fifty pairs of slip- pers for the different characters to wear. They made the wreaths used by the grls in the drill, the cufhions, the curtains, the lattice work for the windows in the last act. and the cuffs for th: Ladies-in-XVaiting, which were of cardboard covered with gold and silver paper with designs painted on them. There was jewelry, such as ear-rings, necklaces, and little things that did not show much, but took time and patience to make, and would have been missed if they had not been there. The classes worked very hard on these things, and put almost all their time on them. VVe must not leave out the teachers, Miss Baker, Miss Clapp, :ml liflrs Lyon, for they helped a great deal, and kept the workers from getting discouraged. Music an Outstanding Feature The orchestra and glee clubs also did their part to make the play a success. The play was opened by Sander Shor rendering The Song of India on the violin, and he continued to play softly during the Prologue. ' Between the acts the orchestra entertained us with oriental selections, and as the house was darkened before each scene a strain of the Song of India was heard. The court scene required a considerable amount of music, as the Tumblers, the entrance of the Sultan, the Princess, and Aladdin were all accompanied by th orchestra. The two glee clubs took part as ladies and gentlemen of the court and the entire cast joined in the song at the end of this act. 'l he selections that orchestra played were very difficult, and in order to play them well, it took long hours of practice, often on Saturdays. The members of the orchestra were repaid for their efforts, however, by the enjoyment the audience received from the musical part of the play. Miss Adler directed the orchestra. - .

He introduced to us Elvirn Bickley, A9 president, and Oswald Land, B9 president, both of whom gave very interesting and witty speeches in the gavel ceremony. Elvirn said: In the name of .the W'24 Class. I take great pleasure in presenting to you, the president of the B9 Class, this precious gavel, the symbol of supreme authority. The whole school has looked with envious eyes upon the remarkable achievements of the present A9 Class, feeling that we are possessed of magical powers. Today I shall reveal to you the source of our power. It lies in the magic powers of this gavel which is soon to be yours. With its aid we have made this year the most successful one in the history of McKinley Junior High School. Under our infiuence you have enjoyed a ser- ies of plays unparalleled for splendorg such as, The jubilee Singers, the Or- pheus Quartet, and the famous old sea captain, who, 'for forty long years har- pooned the whale,' and who showed you an exhibit unequalled in all the world.

VVe have added a magnificent new library, in which we have gathered the wisdom of the ancient and the modern world. VVe have added a fine new cafeteria, which satisfies the gustatory needs of 347VL pupils daily. We have laid a mile of new sidewalks requiring 8,947,263M sacks of cement. VVe used 6482 bushels of grass seed to beautify the front yard with a lawn.

It is with a knowledge of all these trifling things, and hoping to see you again 'some bright tomorrowf that I give you this precious gavel, with best wishes and the hope that your accomplishments may approach ours in greatness. Oswald Land replied: It is with great pleasure that I accept this gavel in behalf of the B9 Class. lt is our earnest desire to wield it as skiccessfully as you have done. The characteristics of this illustrious A9 Class which we wish most to copy are your humility and modesty, of which you have given us so striking an example today. A9's-you are leavingg your days are over at McKinley, but your work is not closed. The example which you gave to us will continue to bear fruit, and we shall carry the good name of McKinley with a fond memory of those who have made it what it is. Again let me thank you for this gavel, and let me assure you that we will endeavor to follow in your noble footsteps to the best of our ability. The farewell came last. The B9's went on the stage, leaving a path in the center of the stage over which flags were held, for the graduates to pass through, while the B9's sang the bautiful Hawaiian farwell song, Aloha Ooef' At first only the B9's sang, but as the A9's passed down the aisles of the auditorium, the whole school joined in the chorus, and so expressed their regret at seeing their friends and schoolmates go. lirbrmzry .1.+Three hundred sixty-four l37's were welcomed in the auditorium.

Mr. Vllarde was for many years the leading character in the Mission Play. Alai' 9 s-The puppet play vias a great success. It was enjoyed by everyone who attended. Many of the students thought that the puppets were just to do the acing, but to their surprise, when the curtains parted Snow-Wlhite was sitting at a piano singing and playing. For the clever puppeteering of Snow-XNhite through- out the play, we must give the credit to Van Schroder, who guided her movements, and to listher Pressman, who gave her a voice. Margaret VVeisz was the pup- peteer of the queen, who in her high pitched voice, caused much laughter in the audience. Redbeard, who was to have killed poor little Snow-Vllhite in the forest, but softened at her plea, had Louis Fehr for his puppeteer. George Blum, Ray- mond Alvarado, and lfflarold McCall were the puppeteers of the Great-Big Dwarf, the Middle-sized Dwarf, and the Little Bit of a Dwarf, who were so kind to Snow- White in her distress. Kean Buchanan was the puppeteer for the Prince, who kissed Snow-Wlhite on her lips, in her sleep and brought her back to life. To the Faithful Hound the honor of the play must go. l-le was always ready with his little bark, produced by Marion Manning, his puppeteer, at the end of each scene. The electrician was Virgil Beck, and the curtain manager Maxine Cook. The pup- pets were constructed by Miss l3ay's Home Room. They Wore costumes made by Miss llaker's A9 drawing class. Before the play the Boys' Clee Club favored the students with songs.

ALL THE TIME AT HOME. 'f OME years we have all kinds of excursions, and we had planned very many for this spring, but were discouraged by the quarantine on ac- count of the hoof and mouth disease, which we did our best to help stamp out. XYe can not help being disappointed, however, in not hav- ing the trips to the cabin in the Santa Anita Canyon, for we looked forward to that all winter long. Next year, perhaps we can take an extra trip to make up for he one we lost this spring. Some of us have made a few trips to places of interest here in the city, and many of us have taken imaginary trips, even around the world, and some of these you shall hear about. ' A Visit to Exposition Park One fine day in the early part of February, the pupils of Mrs. Ray's seventh period science class took a trip to Exposition Park to hear a lecture by Mr. Cookman of Polytechnic High School on the birds of California, in order to increase our knowledge of birds. The lecture was well illustrated with pic- tures, some in color, of the various birds, their haunts and habits. XV e learned about the sandpiper that lives by the sea, getting' his food from the refuse washed on the beach by the sea, therefore a scavenger. Our lecturer recited a poem called The Sandpiper. - Mr. Cookman narrated how the seagull, a thief at sea, steals the nsh from the fishermen, and how, when the gull discovers a pelican with a hsh in his pouch, he peeks at his head until the pelican pours out the store of fish, which is then immediately seized by the ravenous seagull. Our lecturer explained how ducks that live around the lakes are preyed upon by the merciless hunter. He made a plea for the helpless fowls, which, when shot, Hy to a hiding place and die, and suggested that the fowls be permitted to be hunted only every fifth year. Mr. Cookman also told us about the eagle, the king of birds, which is much feared by the smaller birds, and about the condor, a bird which is almost extinct.-Arnold H ylcn, A9. 1 Noa BIDEWE P-iT.WA'YSATHOME I A The Philharmonic Concerts The Philharmonic concerts are given by Mr. Clark, a citizen of Los An- geles. I-le is very musical, and his aim is to make Los Angeles musical. l-le wants students to hear the best of music. The tickets are sold for lOc apiece, and the small sum collected from them is used for the music departments of the schools. There were three concerts this term. The programs are sent out a month ahead of time, in order to acquaint the pupils with the music they are going to hear. One hundred and hfty different pupils go to these concerts each time. The demand for tickets proves that two hundred and bfty tickets could be used. Some of the many numbers that were enjoyed are: Peer Gynt Suite, by Grieg, The Swan, by Saint Saensg First lXIovement of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, and the Prize song from Die Meistersinger, by VVagner.-Mabel flfijicll, A9.' A Trip to the Baloy Clinic Our ninth grade cooking classes have been studying the correct food and proper care ol' babies. Through Miss Morrell's kindness we were permitted, during our cooking periods one day, to go to the Baby Clinic, which is held at the Vernon Library every Friday morning for the benefit of the mothers who wish to learn more about the care of their babies. VVhen we reached the Vernon Library, the head physician, who was a woman, told us about the work they are doing there and also gave us a few sug- gestions for the care of the baby. XVe were then taken to a room where the babies were being weighed. Here we saw at least twenty-eight or thirty babies, some healthy and some very frail and weak. Many of them had strong lungs and were engaged in exercising them. From the weighing-room we went into another room where the nurse in charge discussed correct food and also gave the mothers written instructions for the care of infants. These instructions were written in Spanish and Italian as well as English.. After this we unwillingly came back to school, feeling we had gained a far better knowledge of the care of babies, and would like to be given the opportunity to go again.-Edith Staples, A9. Around the World in Thirty Days Jfllllltlfjl I, 6 a. mi.-VV e left McKinley playground in the good plane General Lightning'.', By we I mean my hound, Tiggs, my parrot, Sauce Box, and last, but not least, myself. I wished to show Tiggs what a comfortable life he led in America in comparison with his fellow dogs in other countries, and I hoped to give Sauce Box the opportunity of adding to his foreign vocabulary. As we sailed higher and higher we saw the earth falling away from us. It was a wonderful experience, with an ever-changing panorama of valleys, mountains, 7 Q NoR Bios: WE ALWAYSATHOME I A clouds, silvery rivers that looked like ribbons, hamlets, and cities. On and on we Hew. January 3.-We arrived, happy, but stiff from our long ride, in our na- tional capital. From the air the streets of the city looked like the spokes of a wheel with the Capitol buildings as the hub. We stopped just long enough to take on gas and supplies, and then we were off again. 'Four hours later we flew over New York City, viewing the Statue of Liberty and the Bronx on the way, and sailing so close to the VVoolworth Building that Sauce Box cried out in alarm, Give us a lift or there will be a funeral. fcmuary 6.-We, flew over Gibraltar, and then crossed the Sahara Desert. Below us crept trains painted white, with windows of blue glass to protect the passengers from the too-friendly desert sun. January 8.-XVe landed in Cairo between a group of Arabs and llerbers, who were nghting. They were so surprised at our sudden appearance that they all fled in horror. Near Cairo We visited the Pyramids, the Sphinx, and King Tut's Tomb. January IO.-VVS visited the land of the I ygmies in the Great African For- est. Sauce Box exclaimed in scorn, More Scrubs! I thought we left them all at McKinley. The little fellows were so surprised and interested in our plane that they forgot to use their poisonous arrows. Tiggs, however, almost lost his life, for he was so sleek and ,fat that the little people wished to make a generous meal of him. ffzlmary 13.-VVe arrived in Bombay where we visited the Bazaars, the Towers of Silence, and took a short excursion to the Temples of Elephants. Vile adopted a pet monkey, but the poor little fellow was not treated very kindly by Tiggs and Sauce Box. ffZfl'IllUI'lV 18.-XVe sailed over Hongkong and say many llritish ships lying at anchor together with countless Chinese junks. ffm-zuzry 20.-NVE arrived in Peking and visited the Great XVall of China. I introduced Tiggs and Sauce Box to Chinese dishes, but they did not like them very well. I was surprised to discover that the Chinese sleep on the floor instead of in beds as we do, and .l found it difficult to fold myself up like a pocket-knife and eat off the floor. January 21.-We reached Tokyo, the city of cherry blossoms. There a festival was in progress and old and young were flying curious kites. J January 23.--XIVC turned our trusty plane homeward. In the distance we caught sight of a zeppelin. Tiggs must have taken it for a huge sausage, for he barked and licked chops in anticipation. Ja-:mary 30.-We sighted California at sunrise. Four hours later my faith- ful companions and I arrived at dear old McKinley, where we at once attracted a large crowd. Cameras clicked all around me as everyone hastened to take my uicture, and three Trail reporters rushed up to hear the news, My! but it ivas great to be home again l-I-Vinifred Gram, I37. THE How T0 HEALTH AHB HAPPINESS u, VERY helpful department in the school is the Corrective Speech De- partment, in which all pupils who have a defect in their spech are 't helped hy different methods. Exercises in reading aloud, in concert lf pl and alone, in singing, in breathing, in relaxation, in phonics,, and in de- veloping the muscles of the mouth are given to improve hesitancy of speech. ' Miss Marie Lawton of the Speech Department reports to our school every Monday morning. She conducts small classes, though all pupils who need to do so may take advantage of this privilege. Each one receives indivicimial at- tention. Many pupils taking this corrective work have been able to overcome the defect in their speech, which would in time have hampered them in their way to success and happiness.-Lormic Sanders, AQ. The Nutrition Class Have you ever been to the Nutrition Class? If not, you do not know what you are missing. Some of the heavyweights would like to be in the Nu- .. H , , - N ' ' - i .

The person that is of proportionate weight is healthier and better looking than the person that is underweight. Being under- weight also causes bad posture. , Every day at the third period the girls have their daily hottle of milk and are allowed to be late to their third period class. A chart is kept, on which each girl can see whether she has lost or gained. It is very interesting to . I A I t Y ri: V 4, f-lad li i Ll' ff-. - 1 i - -A V l:5 :Qa1-..

Corrective Class for Girls The corrective class is a great help to many girls who need physical cor- rection. Some of these are girls with weak hearts, weak arches, overturned ankles, round shoulders, or hollow hacks. In the gymnasium there are many plinths and mats which are for the use of the corrective class. There are also stall bars, a horizontal ladder, and a hori- zontal bar on which they take hanging exercises. Marbles are used in the cor- rective class for foot exercises. Twice a week the corrective class goes out of doors to play games such as baseball, long ball, end hall, and volley ball. A few girls who have very weak hearts or very had ankles or arches have to lie down during the gym period. NVhen they are on their beds, they can hardly keep from talking, but they know if they do they will get demerits. By co-opration, and by the help of the teacher the class hopes soon to be able to take regulargym. Some of the children from our school go to the Vermont Corrective Center. Many children from other schools are there too. There are boys and girls that are all by themselves with the doctor, and there are also classes such as the foot class and posture class. The room the classes are in has many pieces of ap- f THE Roan To HEALTH p I paratus, such as the weights to make your back straight and make your arms strong and steady, the ladders against the wall to make your back straight, and a horizontal ladder to hang from. The children from this school appreciate the fact that the Center is so close that we do not need to change cars to reach it.-Martha Dclcisso and Hilda Gustafson, B8's. Corrective Class for Boys The Corrective Class was organized for the purpose of improving by means of exercises on different pieces of apparatus the general posture of certain boys who have become disfigured by carrying heavy weights or by improper sitting at desks. This class also contains pupils who need to gain weight or who want to improve their general health. They meet in the physical training bungalow the first, third, and eighth periods, under the direction of Mr. Elliott. The corrective room was recently equipped with the proper apparatus, which makes things easier for them. It is equipped with stall bars, plinths, stools, mats, balance boards, a ladder, a horizontal bar, and a parallel bar. lVith the use of this apparatus the pupils do hanging, climbing, stretching, and rest exercises. The purpose of these exercises is to correct posture, such as uneven shoulders, round shdulders, malformations of feet and handsg to im- prove crooked spines, stiff joints, and to aid the heart action and digestion. Each member is examined and given a list of exercises that will help him improve his posture. At the end of two weeks he is again examined and im- provement noted. The pupils express great enthusiasm and rivalry to become members. Now that a corrective room has been fitted out, we are looking for- ward to the time when McKinley can take care of all the corrctive work for our own pupils.-Henry Larrecq, A9. Girls' Athletic Association The girls' noon games have received much attention this term. Because of this, the girls have taken a keener interest in sports, and have drawn for teams in larger numbers than usual. i At the beginning of the term, any girl wishing to play drew for a place on one of the teams. This made her a member of the Girls' Athletic Asso- ciation. The dues, 1Oc a term, were 'paid at the time of drawing. The teams were composed of girls who desired to take part in any of the following sports: A9's and B9'-Baseball and Basketball, A8's--Baseballg BS's-Baseball, A7's- Long Ballg B7's-Volley Ball. Besides the above an Upper Class Volley Ball league was formed for those Cexcept B'7sj who chose to play Volley Ball. At the end of the term, all the players of the teams having the highest per- centages are presented with a handsome purple and gold monogram. All the girls have been urged to play. This develops the girls' health, heightens their skill in playing, and increases the McKinley spirit. The girls are to be praised for their enthusiasm shown in playing the different games.-Katie Cline, A9. ' THE ROAD TO HEALTH Sports on the Boys' Playgrounds INDOOR-Nationals. One of the most successful seasons of Indoor since the game was organized at McKinley was played this year on the Nationals. Pep and vigor were shown in every game, and there was hardly any poor sportsmanship throughout the season. During the first of the term Team One was taken over by George Blum, who captained it successfully through the season. The Nationals have tried to set an example to the lower leagues by showing good sportsmanship, and all the other essentials that make a successful league. The captains have all with one evception held their teams together, and each team played their games with good will. There were no slackers, and every boy tried to make his team win the pennant by fair play.-W'iIlia111. M artin, A9. INDOOR-Americans. The teams in the Ami-Stican league enjoyed a very successful season in the spring of 1924. All teams had Cline times, even Team Two, which did not have a very successful season. One particularly interesting thing happened when Andy Yates, captain on the Nationals, gave his place to George -Blum. Team One of the Americans, having a very good team and line players, was to be the victim of George BlEum's choosing of a new team. I-le took from Team One half of the best players, including the pitcher. The team that George chose held its own in the Nationals in big league fashion. The captains were fine, good-sportsmanlike fellows on the American league, making possible the successful season,-thanks to Mr. Houston for his skillful choosing of captains.-Lynn Corbett, AS. IN DOOR-C oust. Although the Coast players may not play aslwell as stiame of the others, there is no lack of spirit. They look down on the Bush, but hold in respect the National players, which they hope to be some day. The teamsare about even in ability, which causes much competition and many disputesg and the umpires for the Coast are to be pitied. Except for these disputes, however, the games are played with good sportsmanship and fair play. Many of the Coast players are drafted to the Americans, much to the disappointment of the Coast captains and to the joy of the players. Most of the Coast players are fairly good players and hope soon to become Americans.-Lee Tabor, A9, -7 INIQOOR-Bush.

Barney Google, who was on Team Four, in an interview, said that it was his best season.

' K I THE ROAD T0 HEALTH H S-idelights of the Bush by a Former Player The Bush league is organized every year, containing four teams which are to have a long struggle for the McKinley monogram. The B7' are not allowed to sign up. There are a great many boys, probably more than any other league, who sign up. Among the famous names that signed up this year were Barney Google, Andy Gump, and Abe Lincoln- There are many hard fought games played on the Bush diamond. The games usually result in a dispute or a one-sided score. The umpire seldom gets through a game in peace. The reason probably lies in the fact that the players usually do not know the rules of the game. These players are just starting in the indoor game. It is no disgrace to play on the Bush, as some ninth graders think. In fact, that is where all successful ball players make their beginning. The games are usually witnessed by a number of scrubs , and others that are not on a team. These follow the game with anxious eyes, and long for the day when they will have their chance to get on a Bush team.-Henry Larrcq, A9. BASKETBALL. Basketliall is a game which is full of action. There are many different kinds of fouls in basketball. If one boy puts his foot in front of another boy and trips him, it is called a foul. Wfhen a basket is shot on a foul, it counts only one point, instead of two. Other kinds of foul in basketball are holding another boy, when he has the ball, and pushing him. There are many chances for a boy to be knocked clown by another boy when the second boy does not mean to knock him down. Many times when one of the boys trips another boy he does not mean to. Sometimes when the umpire does not see a foul, they have a quarrel and want to get another umpire. Sometimes after the game, the team that has lost the game blames it upon the umpire- This, of course, is not good basketball.- Clzarles Burnhart, BS. lN'l'l2RlX'llEDIA'l'lE ISASKIITBALL.

Team Three is in the lead. This term there have been many hard games played. About the hardest game played was when the score was nothing all. There have been many other tight games with the score of two all and two to nothing. There were about five players who came from the Seniors to play on the Intermediates. Since they came it has been much harder tolgain points. The captains are as follows: Team l, Clifford Youngg Team 2, Francis Levyg Team 3, Max Pearlg Team 4, Merle Mallon.--Merle M allow, B8. JUNIOR BASKETBALL. The junior basketball league, the lowest of the leagues, is composed mostly of seventh and eighth graders. The playing of the Juniors consists of too many fouls. They act as if they were playing football. The trouble is that they choose referees and umpires without knowing whether they know the rules, or whether he is fair or not. There ought to be a full-fledged referee for every league, and also an assistant. just lately a referee made a poor decision. A player when throwing for the goal on a foul, stepped over the line before the ball hit court- The referee ordered .the ball down to opponents' goal and gave them a try for goal. This was an unjust decision, for he should have made it a center ball. Although there are many fouls, many of the games are interesting. Many of the scores are close, and after some exciting game there is a bitter quarrel which makes it more exciting. But one good thing about the juniors is that they do their best till the end,--they don't quit.-Richard Winter, B9, and Gussie Paul, AS. VOLLEY BALL. VV e, the players of the Bears Volley Ball league, do not think it is a sissy game, and if you don't believe us, come and watch us some time and hnd out for yourselves. VV e are all trying hard for the monogram which is given to each player of the team that comes in first place in per cent, and we play as hard as any other team. Some of the fellows think we can't play anything else, but we all can play other things just as well. There are four teams, and each have eight players, two of Whom are substitutes, who take the place of any regular player who is absent.-Morris Kamwis, AS. May Day Carnival The school grounds certainly did look deserted at noon on May Day. The girls all gathered on the end of the playground situated where VVaclsworth former- ly was. Benches were placed all around the held. The bleachers were 'fully L . King ' THE Rolo TQ HEALTH , . occupied, the girls being grouped by classes. All the classes had yell leaders, prom- inent among whom was Mary Plesko for the A9's. Promptly when the bell sounded, the girls who participated in the different events marched upon the field. They were greeted with many cheers. The lines were led by porn-pom girls, each bearing a pom-pom of the color representing her class. The events were held in quick succession because of the limited time. The 50- yard dash came first. Elise Schilling, BS, was the winner. Emma Whitfield, A9, came in a close second. Irene Augustine, A8, took third place. Among the other interesting features were: The chariot race, C two girls and driverjg the obstacle race, and the wand race. The obstacle race was run by the smaller girls, and caused much laughter. The runners had to jump a rope, hurdle over a bench, and hop in a gunnysack for a short distance. The wand race showed good jumping and quick thinking. Good team work was shown by all grades in all races. When at the close of the games the A9's were declared winners, with 17 points, they lost their heads, and such yelling was never heard on the court before. The AS's and B8's tied for second place with nine points. The B9's and A7's tied for third place with seven points. The little B7's came out with five points. This May Day Carnival was enjoyed by all the girls and by some of the faculty who were guests on the side lines.-Myrtle Oliver, A9. Health Rules l. Keep your body clean as well as your mind. 2.

Li 'rms LIFE is most .muy '2n 'fg5- T WOULD require a whole book to tell about all the good times we have at our parties, or to describe all the different club organizations, Zig' so we have decided to mention only a few. Almost every important K rank-Vi day is celebrated by some of the classes, of course not ally and because Valentine's Day comes so near the middle of the year and is usually so pleasantly celebrated, we give an account of some of the parties on that day. Hearts, cupid bows, and arrows prevailed Valentine's Day, as many of the rooms had very beautiful boxes, while several had parties. Home Room 15 held a very beautiful and clever party the sixth period. Eski- mo pies, cake and candy hearts made up the refreshments. Pinning the heart on the man was originated by Mary Brooks, who had charge of the party, which proved to be very interesting and amusing. A good time was enjoyed by all. Home Room 10 had a party. The box, which was very beautifully decorated and filled with valeutines, proved to be the center of interest. Eskimo pies were served as refreshments. Everyone received many valentines. Mr. Boston's BS Home Room had a Valentine party. Emma Delsasso had charge of refreshments and games. Eskimo pies were served and several prizes were won by various members of the class. Home Room 14 was very beautifully decorated by Robert Clark, Milton Love- joy, and John I-loulgate. Games were played and dainty refreshments of Eski- mo pies and valentine candies were served. Everyone expressed himself as having a good time. Home Room 25 had a very delightful party. Ruby Canterbury, Thelma Prid- eaux, and Martha Delsasso were the hostesses, and they made wonderful ones, too. They wore white aprons with red hearts on them. There was great fun when the mailmen gave out the valentines from the box, which was covered with white tis- sue paper and had red hearts and white fringe on it. All were very much dis- appointed when the bell rang for us to go to our seventh period classes. XV e re- membered that party for many a day.-Cleaned from The Trail. Oh! Oh! 1 know what you are thinking about. You think that Home Room 42 didn't have a valentine party, but you are mistaken. NVe did have one. We invited 1 I ng-si.1FT2 E lvl-OST Joni f Mr. lirown, Mrs. Struthers, and Mr. WVilson. Each made a very splendid speech. We had fifty-seven varieties of valentines. Each pupil received a valentine or two. Miss Proctor was delighted with those that she received, and she gave us each one. The valentine box was decorated by Mary Stanley and Dorothy Thompson. The postmaster was joseph Dasso. We had several hundred hearts around the room Cbesides our ownj, only those for decoration were made of red paper! A party isn't a party without refreshments, so we had Eskimo pies and candy.-Dorothy Thompson and l'VaItcr Braslaw. Even The Faculty Gives Parties January 18 the faculty entertained in honor of the teachers who were to leave Mfcliinley at the beginning of the new term. The scene of the gathering was the library, where during the latter part of the afternoon the faculty were entertained hy a series of sketches supposed to represent scenes past and fu- ture, in the lives of the guests of honor. Miss Hughes, wonderfully changed after her European wanderings, was portrayed by Miss Miller. Mr. Smith's remarkable acting added not a little to this part of the program. The changes wrought in our librarian, Miss Hurst, as a result of leaving McKinley were so realistically presented by Miss Proctor that we wonder Miss Hurst dares test the truth of the awful warning. Mrs. Cox's well known energy and enthusiasm were amusingly exaggerated by her two co-workers, Miss Cone and Miss Newcomer. Last of all, as a tribute to the friendship of Miss Pope and Miss Patter- son the management was able to secure for the afternoon the presence of Barney Google and his inseparable companion, Spark Plug. To Mrs. Netz and two members of the faculty whose identity is shrouded in mystery must go the credit for this achievement. Mrs. Youngs, as a talkative young girl, who entertains her mother's caller, ably played by Mr. Lewis, revealed hitherto unsuspected dramatic talent. F . ,- ,AW ,,,,,,,. ,THIS LIFE is Mosr JOLLY The more serious part of the afternoon came when small booklets of very artistic design and workmanship were presented to the guests. These booklets contained the program which consisted of speeches from Mr. Brown and Mrs. Struthers, representing the administration, and from Mr. Wood- ruff, on behalf of the faculty. All of the speakers paid tribute to the earnest- ness, the enthusiasm and the spirit of co-operation which have marked the labors of the teachers who were leaving. Dainty refreshments in yellow and white were then served in Room 9, where a beautiful Hower of yellow, holding a yellow candle in its center, adorned the table where punch was served, This beautiful flower was the work of Miss Trowbridge. Especial thanks were due to the A9 girls who assisted in serving, and Max Rudolph, who rendered violin selections.-The Trail. A Day of Second Childhood A9's were miraculously transformed into second childhood on April l. Rib- bons which had been put away since scrub days appeared in full glory. Suckers and dolls, which are not usually allowed to come to school, cme in great dignity. As this was a surprise for the rest of the school, many pupils mistook the brilliant A9's to be the frivolous B9's. But upon gazing into their enlightened counten- ances, they discovered their great mistake. The members of the faculty soon caught the spirit of the kiddies, and many humored their foolish fancies. Many of the classes had programs in which these brilliant children took part. During the physical training and noon periods the small darlings played at their old favorites, such as: Farmer-in-the-Dell, London Bridge, Last Couple Out, Lemonade, Here Comes the Duke A-riding, and Drop the Bean Bag. The other grades looked on with awe at the fortunate A9's and many wished that they, too, could take part in these games, After an eventful day in their child- hood, they returned home tired, but happy, and appeared the next day as solemn and serious as ever.-Jennie Yam-:tus and Edith Kyser, A9's. The Girls' Glee Club The Girls' Glee Club is composed of thirty-two girls, twelve first sopranos, ten second sopranos, and ten altos. Last term the club sang in several concerts. At the first one, given just before Thanksgiving vacation, they sang 'My Desire, and Husheen. At the Christmas entertainment, they sang Silent Night and A Christmas Carol. They also took part in the play, Aladdin,, or the VVonder- ful Lamp, given principally by the A9's of VV'24. The glee club girls were court ladies, ladies-in-waiting, and incense bearers. All of these concerts have proved successful, and our instructor, Miss Irene I TI-RS-LIFEIS Mosr JQLLY Adler, has received many compliments on the work that th glee club has done and is doing. ' The girls now in the club are: First sopranos, Edith Staples, Marie Taylor, Mary Lee Mararian, Lucille Lawson, Frances Montez, Violet Jerram, Nunci La Motta, Christine Abbott, Louisa Duewellg second sopranos: Dorothy Nace, Mary Olodort, Helen Kirchoff, Evelyn Ran, Helen Hougan, Wilma Bullard, Dorothy Carpenter, Mildred Sterling, Leona Redmond, Josephine Grabski, altos: Renee Baxter, Carmela Canatella, Yetta Steinberg, Anna Minarick, Imogene Tarvin, Eve- lyn Smith, Margaret VVeisz, Ruby WVheeler, and Irene Inman.

The All Girls' Club The All Girls' Club consits of all the girls in Home Room 41. This club has continued for about three years. The meetings are held every Friday afternoon during the sixth period, conducted by a president and a secretary. Every girl in the room has a chance to president and secretary, because the girl that is secretary on Friday is president the next Friday, and another girl is chos- en secretary. If a new girl comes into the class she is always initiated after ,. ,:- F - -. - . ,- 1 THIS LIFE is Mosr JoLLY fs: she is in the room about three weeks or so. Every girl must do what she is asked to do for the program. If she is unprepared, a contribution of five cents is paid, and she has to do her part at the next meeting. A double contribution always must be paid if a girl is unprepared more than once. An initiation contribution of ten cents is to be paid next fall by all new members. The regular contribu- tion for the treasury is a penny or more a week i rom each girl. This money is used for the orphans in the Children's Home Society of California. XfVe dressed and gave dolls to the orphans at Christmas. VVe made scrap-books, and gave such toys as balls, marbles, and trains. Besides, we gave twenty-live bags with candy and fruit. On Easter we colored eggs, and put them in baskets which we made of strawberry boxes. We are now saving to buy two pictures for the girls' warcl.-Elisulvvflz Hvrbvfik, B9. The Orchestra McKinley's orchestra this year ranks among the best high school orcliestras in the city, and we are all proud to belong to it. During the winter term we were kept busy practicing' for the Thanksgiving Concert and Christmas plays. As soon as they were over we started to learn oriental music for the A9 play, Aladdin,, and we rehearsed on Saturdays in addition to our regular daily practice. VVe had a lot to do, but it was great fun as well as hard work. During the summer term we have been practicing more music for the Easter Concert, the Contest on the Constitution, the Schoolmasters' Banqnet,, Snow Xllhite.

McKinley Radio Club c The Mcliinley Radio Club consists of lively, energetic boys, who late willing to work hard and study upon subjects in the wide-ranged radio held. The club has been organized with the best officers for each and every oliice. The club has in its past meetings brought up subjects of much importance and meaning. These subjects have been turned over and over till all the facts and references have been brought to light. The club of WU23 has a fine far-reaching receiving set which we hope will be used with much interest. We sincerely hope as fX9's that th work of th Radio Club will continue in the successful way it has been conducted in the past.

The program committee consists of Marie Cordil, Ruth Holden, Lila Adcock, Frank Plachy, Van Schroeder, and Mario Ver- engia.-Lila Adcoclc, B9. The Spanish Club In the Spanish department we enjoy a great many diversions aside from the regular work. One day a week we usually play Spanish games. Contests, similar to spelling matches, also add to the interest of our classes and prove most exciting at times. At the end of the term Spanish proverbs are given as prizes to those with the best record. The provrbs are printed on attractive placards and include such familiar sayings as Better be late than never,', No sooner said than done, etc. The beginning classes use a great many practical helps besides text-books.

Programs have been given from time to time, with special music at Christmas. The A9 classes organized a Circulo Espanol which presented a program each month. The two classes alternated in entertaining each other with Spanish play- ettes, songs and dialogues. In this way we not only make our study more enjoy- 1ble, but train our ears to the sound of spoken Spanish, and learn something of the dress, manners and thoughts of Spanish 15S01JlES-HOIIl'fUff0 Griffin and Etmlyn Kcmzvdy. Christmas Gifts Christmas is a time to be happy, but is every one happy? Not so, but last Christmas our school made many people happy, and we brought the things to make them so. Sixty-four dollars was given, besides fifty-five boxes full of clothes, food, books, and toys. The boxes contained clothing for old, young, and babies. Besides clothing. candy, nuts, canned goods, fruits, and cookies were given. These things were furnished by Home Rooms, and when everyone in the room had given some gift, a candle was lighted on the Christmas tree in the office to show us that the room had done its part. The first room to have its star lighted was Room 9. with Mrs. Netz teacher. They received the silver star at the top of the tree. Most of the boxes were grouped about the beautiful tree used in our Christmas play, Upon the Wlatersf' which was later sent to be used in a hospital heneht performance, and then to an orphanage. -lust before Christmas our teachers took the boxes for distribution.. Some of them were sent out through one of the men's clubs of the city, One of our teachers and one of her friends went to the home of some children and gave them a Christmas tree and a dinner, and filled all the little stockings. A box of clothes and food and some money was sent to a family of twelve children in Boyle Heights. Mrs. Kimball's seventh grade cafeteria girls dressed fourteen dolls, which made fourteen happy little girls. Miss Clapp's room sent a sixty pound box of goodies and clothing to some indian and white children in XNalker's Basin. A Christmas tree was also sent and used for their small school house.

X OUR BROADCASTING STATIO 1 RIENDS, Mcliinleyites, and countrymen, lend me your ears. This is Radio Station Milli, located at Mcliinley and Vernon. VVe shall endeavor to describe to you our methods of broadcasting as we broad- cast to you. Our station is the Print Shop, of which now you shall hear. All right, Katie Cline, start 'er ort. The print shop, one of the busiest and most important departments at Mc- Kinley, has proved itself invaluable to both the student body and the members of the faculty, during the three years of its existence. Under the able manage- ment of Mr. Lewis, the boys in the print shop are able to turn out printed matter of high quality in such large quantities that the service rendered to the school is of great value. The imprint of the print shop, McKinley-Made is becoming quite famous in Los Angeles city, and is helping put our school well up in the ranks of junior high schools, especially in the way of technical training. Add- ed equipment, such as a new linotype, power cutter, all-steel imposition table and a Miller-saw are now being anticipated and the school term of 1924-25 will prob- :lhiwi Y ' 4 l i -.gg , , l - l , I 1 1 . , I , , si' I THE BROADCASTING STATION ahly see this improvement. This will place Mcliinley in the lead in printing among Los Angeles junior high schools. , The present equipment of the print shop is as follows: One l2xl8, and one 10x15 Chandler X Price New Series joh press, a power lioston wire stitcher, an Advance paper cutter, a Portland Multiple punching machine, a Poco proof press, lZ type stands with eleven cases each, which en- alules the l2O students to each have his own caseg an assort- ment of horders, rules, type, and ornaments that are generally used in an up-to-date commer- cial establishment. One of the principal projects of the print' shop is the printing of our school paper. From 1,200 to 1,500 Trails are turned our Sfmmel J- Lewis. Weelilx, fl' h C T I, ,I I uquqllv Instructor in the art of printing . C . 4 contains from four to six pagesg occasionally, however, there are eight pages, and at the end of each term a twenty-page A9 edition is printed. The Purple and Gold, lVlcKinley's year hook, is also printed in the print shop, a task that is not often attempted even hy high schools, and we feel safe in mak- ing the statement that McKinley is the only junior high school in the city that prints and hinds its own annual. Numerous johs such as programs, tickets, notices, rule forms for the attendance and principal's oliices, promotion slips and cards, etc., are often made for the faculty, student body, and the different departments, as well as for grammar schools and Parent Teacher Associations in the district. The hum of the presses is continual in our print shop and the amount of work turned out rivals that of any commercial shop of the same size in the city. The faculty and student liody wish to express their thanks to Mr. Lewis and the boys of his department for the service they render so willingly.-Katie Cline, A9 A1oUR BRoADeAsT1No srarion f Doings in the Print Shop The Trail, all the programs used in the school, the song book, many extras, and The Purple and Gold have all been made by the boys in the print shop under the excellent instruction of Mr. Lewis. XVe have all been working very hard to get the annual ready by the end of the term. During the spring vacation Mr. Lewis and from ten to twelve of the boys came to the print shop at nine in the morning and stayed until four every day. All the boys like Mr. Lewis because he full of fun and like a big boy him- self. ln the morning when the boys come in, he greets them with a smile and tells them what to do: Jimmy, take the little press and keep up your ink nice and black. La Mar, set this little item up for the Trail. Here, Phil, lock this job up for the big press. Chuck, you help Terry assemble those song books, and he sure and get the pages in their right order. Earl, do you think you can stitch those song books straight P Danny, how are the ads for this week's Trail. Did you check-up on the new phone numbers ?,' That's fine, La Mar. Now proof it and bring it to me O. K. Here, john, set this up for the Annual out of eight point bold. George, here is a half-page ad for the annual. I've laid it all out for you. Now give us a nice, tasty job. All right, Philg put it on the press, lockups up, watch your grippers, and set your guides straight. And so he goes on from day to day, always the same, happy, cheerful Mr. Lewis.-Fred Eldred, B9. The Trail The Mcliinley Trail, our school paper, has been an essential factor in the school life at McKinley during the tour years of its existence. On its pages the history of our school is being written. for it is The Trail which tells of the events which happen daily at Mcliinley. Not only does it tell about that which has happened but about plays, concerts, drives, etc., which are going to happen. XVe learn of opportunities to share responsibilities and joys with other Mcliin- leyites. The Trail fosters the good will and spirit of co-operation that is a neces- sary part of every loyal Ncliinleyite. The A9 journalirtm class is responsible lor the publication of our paper, and the staff officials are elected by the members of v . i ' A i 1. . , , i I' v v, ,, l .

The journalism classes appreciate the helpful criticisms given by their advisor, Miss Baller, and also the co-operation of Mr. Lewis and his printing classes. They have made it possible for us to be of real service to the student body and faculty. - - The SMH. - The Mimeograph Department The mimeograph department, which is under the management of Miss Proctor, has proved, during the past term, to be very useful as well as inter- esting. This department has put into circulation many mimeographed sheets for faculty mmbers, especially Miss Baller, who sends out much material for the use of the English teachers. The ninth grade pupils who are accurate and do good work in typing, have been perniitted to run the machine. VVhen the copy is being typed, the keys must be struck a little harder than usual, and after the stencil is made, many sheets may be mimeographed in a very short itme.-Rosa: Riesclzberg, A9 The Purple and Gold, McKinlev's Year Book Our school annual, known as The Purple and Gold, is fully a McKinley project. Many pupils volunteered willingly to write articles describing our life here at school, and it has been the work of the staH to correct and com- pile them. W'e have not always been able to give credit to the writers, for sonie articles have been unsigned, and sometimes been able to use only a sentence or a paragraph, because so many have written on the same subjects. We want here to thank everyone who has contributed to make this book a suc- cess.-Tlzr' Siu-lf.

N S The Business Educator says that the penmanship specimens sent in by McKin- ley pupils for Certificates show marked excellence. The penmanship classes are as enthusiastic as ever. Everyone is working hard to earn a certihcate. Since the 7th grade has been taking penmanship every day instead of two days a week, they are doing very well and some of the best writers have been given permission to work for the Grammar Grade Zaner Certificate. The 9th grade students who have already received the Zaner Grammar Grade and the H igh School Certificates are working for others, such as the American Penman and the Palmer Student Certihcates. There are 157 students who earned their certificates so far this year.

A DAILY DIRECTED AeT1viT1E I Writing Limerieks There once was a penmanship class, With many a lad and a lass, The Zaner method they learned And their hearts within them burned, To work so their writing would pass. There is a girl named Marie, W'hose dimples one couldn't but seeg She writes with a swing, Like a bird on the wing, And hlls our hearts with glee. And there is a boy named George, His writing looks like Valley Forgeg It goes up hill and down, Just like a clowng Theres' room for improvement, eh, George? Another boy whose name is James, When writing takes great pains To see that every letter Is made somewhat better, And his hand he surely tames. There's a girl named Theresa Berutte. NVho thinks she is quite a beauty, At writing she thinks she's a champ: She sits up at night by the dim little lamp, Vlfriting for dear life and duty. There's a little girl called sweet Alice. XVhose heart couldn't hold any malice For one who writes more than herselfg Puts her story hooks up on a shelf, And writes like a queen ol a palace. In her seat sits Maxine Cook: At her penmanship everyone does lookg Their eyes do twinkle with delight XVhen they see her' capitals all just right: The writing she does should go in a book. A noisy kid is Margaret Hughes: The end of her pen she always chews: Her pemnanship looks like a stone wall Her letters are so straight and so tall- W'hen her writing at length she pursues. There was a had hoy named VVill In class he could not keep still: He wrote and he talked. But Miss Mosher halkefl, And called this poor XVill a pill. Paul always worked for improvement, To go wrong was a had indueementg He tried every way But failed every day, As he used fingers instead ol arm mfwement In our school is a boy named Harry W'ho wrote ovals and letters so merry That when his grades came It was such a shame That he started to drink-at the dairy. Rosa sat down to write, Scrihbled Zaner with all her might, But she always worried And seemed quite flnrriedg So she squeezed her pen very tight. VVillie of dignified HD air. XVrites with hrow furrowed with care, But his voice is so loud, He sounds like a crowd- XVe all know when Willie is there.

Wfell, that is the location of the book-store, and the crowd shows the very splendid way in which the pupils of McKinley are helping to make the new venture a success. This te1'm the A9's have made the bookstore their commercial project, each girl having one or more class rooms to visit, where she demonstrates her ability in salesmanship by telling the pupils about the different supplies that are needed. Renee Baxter Carmela Cantella, Gladys Ilincks, and Ethel Swalley were the ones selected by M rs. lillert out of the A9 commercial arithmetic class the first ten weeks this term, to take charge of the stock and to demonstrate to the public that Mc- Kinley could have a successful bookstore. 'lfoo much praise can not be given to these girls for the very efficient service that they have rendered in this work. Wlieii the bookstore was first startd by the Board of Control in 1921, it was only a small affair, carrying only the everyday things that the pupils needed. As time passed, more things were added, until now we have one of the best junior high school stores in the city. And for this the A9 pupils thank the student body for the wonderful co-operation which has made it possible to enlarge the stock to carry special aricles, such as Nlefiinley belts, stationery, 2l.11Cl McKinley folders and pencils. r BASIC BUSINESS PRINCIPLES Commercial Arithmetic puts the snap and good business principles into a pupil. Commercial Arithmetic is the passport to modern business positions. When you meet a pupil who is able to think out a problem quickly, see the short cuts, able to think quickly, and act snappily. you can almost be sure that he has had commercial arithmetic at McKinley junior High School. Speed. accuracy, and good judgment are the three essentials in commercial arithmetic. Commercial Arithmetic is the one thing we need in the business world. VVhen we figure interest or insurance we have to have speed and accuracy for working different problems. Accompany commercial arithmetic by its business partner-bookkeeping., . v ,Li . . l- . ,,.fv',' A . , Eg DAIITY-DIRECTED ACTIYTTIES I Snap Shots from the English Classes Miss Baller's A8 English class spent a number of days enjoying Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer. The A7's are proud of the fact that one of their number, Bradley Spencer, could write a composition for the Constitution contest that won him a place in the preliminary. B9's in Miss Bartruff's class think they might apply Edward Bok's rule for his life to their school work- A man gets in the world about what he works for. The B8's End it refreshing on a warm spring day to read Dickens' Christmas Carol with imaginative shivers. In Miss Reeve's First period AS English class we are having an interesting time with the play Julius Caesar. lt happens that just at the time that we are studying it Robert Mantell is playing in it at the Mason, and we all hope that we may see the play, which will help us a great deal in the understanding of it.

To make B7 English in Room 30, take: 1.-Book Greek Myths. 2.-Brains. 3.-Memory. 4.-Good English. 5.-Self-control. More can be added if clesirecl.-Frank Bradford. The A'9s have recognized sentences from many old friends among their story books in their study of Kimball's Grammarg but the girls feel that there is partiality shown to the boys because so many are selected from XVarner's Being a Boy. The pupils in Room' 36a are divided into two sides, the Red and the Blue, for spelling contest. The captain for the Reds is Beulah Clarke, and for the Blues, Lillian Robinson. The pupils of Mrs. Rays A9 English class had a David Copperfield party Friday, May 9. Many of the pupils were dressed as characters from the famous Dickehs' book. Those who were chosen for the different characters were agree- ably suited to portray that character. A few of those who were dressed were as follows: David Copperfield, Elizabeth VVeatheringtong Agnes VVicklield, Pauline Burkeg Dora Spenlow, Ruth Carterg Steerforth, Melvin Unflerwoodg Emily.

All English pupils owe a deep debt of gratitude to Miss Baller for the McKin- lev junior High School Reading List, classified under Books Easily Read, Hum- orous Stories, Sea Stories, Animal Stories, Historical Stories, General Science Books, and Standard Novels. It is a most helpful guide to right reading. lf you haven't one of these lists, get one. lt will guide your steps aright.

These radiograms were delivered in the form of telegrams, containing information con- cerning the Dictionary Test to be given December 7. The messages requested that each pupil be given drills to ascertain his knowl edge of the alphabet, guide words. marks of pronunciation, correct division of syllables, and the exact dehnitiou of words. The two final radiograms acquainted the pupils with the use of synonyms and the abbreviations found in the diction- ary. The test covered briefly all of the points stressed in the radiograms.

' g I Q 1 . 4 .A Q f DAIIJY DIRECTED ACTTVITIES 2 Sometimes of Foreign Land We Speak In the Spanish department we enjoy a great many diversions aside from the regular work. One day a week we usually play Spanish games. Contests, similar to spelling matches, also add to the interest of our classes, and prove most exciting at times. At the end of the term Spanish proverbs are given as prizes to those with the best record. The proverbs are printed on attracive placards and include such familiar sayings as: Better late than never, No sooner said than done, etc. The beginning classes use a great many practical helps besides text-books. In learning the parts of the body and clothing a doll is used. The class tells all about Maria, as she is called, and even criticizes her complexion. Picture charts of a house and its various rooms help in describing la casa y los cuartos. Even setting the table is acted out with real knives, forks, plates, etc. To know the clock in Spanish a small card board clock is used that can be set at alguna hora fanv hourj. This term a collection of Spanish articles were displayed. Pottery, serrapi, coins and mantillas were on exhibition. Members of the different classes dressed up with some of the articles of clothing to show the dress of senorita and a senor of Mexico. l'rograms have been given from time to time, with special music at Christmas. The A9 classes organized a Circulo Espanol, which presented a program each month. The two classes alternated in entertaining each other with Spanish playlets, songs and dialogues. In this way we not only make our study more enjoyable, but train our ears to the sound of spoken Spanish, and learn something of the dress, manners and thoughts of Spanish peoples.--Hvnricflrz Griffin and Evelyn Kwllmciy.

What History Means to Me I like history. It is essential to know about the history of your country. I believe as Lincoln said, All men are born equal.

We are here in this world to accomplish something, to do our part among millions, to the best ol' our ability. XX-'hen we study history, we study life. XVe should live up to our highest principles, live the best we can. Experience, both ours and that of others, teaches us. XVhen we see or read of the accomplishments and defeats of great people, the failures and successes, it teaches us. Great heroes give us ambition to succeed. People are here to give and derive the best benefits of the world. Knowledge is one of nature's best gifts, for thasking.

The Pre-vocational Shops The pre-vocational shop is one of the most interesting manual training shops ina our school. There are numerous subjects to choose from, and when the various exercises in each group are completed, the boys choose another subject to work. on. The subjects consist of plumbing, battery work, house-wiring, bell work, tin smithing, learning how to cure the ills of Henry Ford's chariot, shoe cobbling, theory of electricity, and of course, Mr. Smiths favorite, radio. The boys get a little of each ol these projects and consequently one subject does not grow stale. The boys all like this work, and thank Nl r. Smith for pre-e senting these various types of subjects for the boys instead of the continuous wood work that the other shops have. ln one corner we see a poor Lizzie being worked over in general by a group- ol boys that try to fix the tortured liord :zo it will run. lfugene Briggs thinks that that car has never run and never will. ln :mother part of the shop Wlalter Baust. is rebuilding a battery that he thinks will work lol course nobody else thinks so l.

The things made in the wood-working shops are about as follows: Chairs, tables, cabinets, and many other things that are handy for any mother. One boy is making an electric table lamp, using a shade from a coal oil lamp that his grandfather had in the eighties. It is quite attractive and any boy would be proud to own it. Another article which is quite popular is the mantel clock. Many of the boys are making these, using different designs, and the completed product is very attractive. VVhen you want anything in the line of wood, tools, nails, or screws, you can get them right in your shop at a most reasonable price. VVhen it comes to ma- chinery, we have a jointer, a buzz saw, a jig saw, a band saw, a press drill, a disc sander, and three lathes. There are one or two good vices on each of the thirty- eight benches in our shop. VVe have all kinds of paint and varnish and a good miter saw. XVe have the very latest in protection for the body on all of our machins. The machines are run by electricity. But only the A9's are allowed to use the machines, because the seventh and eighth grade boys work on their wood with hand tools. That is so that they will be able to work at home with hand tools. And the machines run fast, and most of the A9's are big and most of the seventh and eighth grade boys are small and they would get hurt.

Y The Reecl Shop The reed shop is one of the most interesting departments in the school. In reed work there are so many different methods and ways that you always have something to learn. The lirst thing you do is to select your project. In the B7's you always start by making a small basket. ln the A7's you make a foot-stool, and so forth on up to the A9's. Then you make library tables, arm-chairs,, and many other things. You start the project by making the frame. In making this you learn a good deal about woodwork. After you have made the frame straight and true, you start to weave. This is what most boys like the best. The material we use for our weaving comes from China. The rattan and grass are grown there. The dowels are made in our own country from hard wood, usually rock elm. In reed work, as in every other trade, you must start at the bottom and Work up. lf you do not make a good foundation you can not make big projects. You must also be considerate of the other person. ' To have good teamwrk and progress faster, you must co-operate with the teacher. Mrs. Turner gets good co-operation and attention from the boys because she has patience with them.

When it is time for play, I believe in laying aside all thought of work, and entering into the game joyously and wholeheartedly: striving to win, but always playing fair. I believe in initiative: in thinking and working for progress for others as well as myself. At the same time. I believe in respecting older and wiser people, and courteously considering their opinions and judgment. I believe in searching for the truth.

This was started in 1915. Mr. Cassell, Mr. Gaut, and Miss Pope helped to draw up the constitution and by-laws. VVhile the Scholarship Society has not really functioned as a society, awards are given for meeting various requirements. These awards are given at the close of each semester. Scholarship - Citizenship it T y A Scholarship-Citizenship pin is given each student receiving a grade of 1-E in all subjects, and a mark of 1 in all Citizenship qualities. During the last year so much emphasis has been placed on Citizenship that the Scholarship committee decided to give a separate pin for Citizenship. All students who receive a mark of 1 in all subjects, and an average of 1 in all Citizenship qualities receive a Citizenship-Scholarship pin. The Scholarship-Citizenship pin given to the B7, A7, and B8 is a silver pin, while the pin given to the AS, B9, and A9 is a gold one. Engraved on each pin is the grade of the student to whom it is awarded. The A9 pin is somewhat dis- tinguished from the rest by an added circle of purple enamel. A Scholarship fund has been provided, and a Scholarship committee, con- sisting of one teacher representative from each grade. Special cases are decided by this committee. Last semester three students received Scholarship-Citizenship pins, twenty- 7 ' W ' 'f , X HONORABLE CITIZENS g Seven received Clll'lZC'llSllllI-SCllUlIll'Sl1ll7 pins and seventy students received Scholar- ship Certificates.

SelffGracling Everyone has heard the saying that before we can control others we must first learn to control ourselves, and it is with something like this in mind that we try to grade ourselves with the self-grading scales that are given us. ls every student of McKinley capable of grading himself? Is every person in this world capable of honesty? These questions are synonymous and equally absurd. Not every one is capable of being honestg hence it would be impossible for us to expect every student of our school to be able to grade himself. But self- grading is an ideal. In our small way we can become nearer to our ideal of per' fection by encouraging self-grading in our minor examinations. We can learn to grade our every action, our every thought, and in the end form a character which will be capable of the kind of self-control which will help us to show the way to others.-E.rtl1c'r Land, A9. Real Jobs in Civic Life Besides the regular oflicers in class room and recitations, there are many pupils who perform duties for the good of the school. Vtlhenever any teacher wants books from the supply room. there are always willing boys to bring them. Wlhen- ever there is furniture to be moved, Mr. VVilson has only to make the need known. and hundreds of boys would volunteer to break their necks if necessary to get it done. Every day boys guard the bicycles and automobiles from theft and harm. Whenever we have an entertainment, boys not only sell tickets, but what is harder, they count the dimes and nickels which come in piles and boxfuls. And at every period during the day, pupils collect the slips which show what pupils are absent from classes, and take them to the attendance olliee. This is a tedious job, and one that requires strict attention to business. You may be sure that anyone who has been appointed regularly to any of these duties, has reached the point of efficient citizenship.-The Staff. I HoNoRABLE Q-ITIZENS f Traffic Officers One of the most important of the responsibilities given to the boys of McKinley is that of being a traffic officer and an usher. In this organization there are twenty-five boys, the boys being chosen for their ability in leadership and their general attitude toward the school. . These boys should be given more credit by fellow pupils for what they do and have done, for being a traffic officer is a difficult task. To be a member of this organization he must have the following qualifications: 1.-Deportment. The grade not to be less than a 2. 2.-Scholarship. Must be passing in all subjects and receiving grades mostly in the two highest classes. 3.-Leadership. Must have confidence of boys. 4.-Athletics. Must be a good athlete. 5.-Responsibility. Must be responsible for conduct of pupils on grounds if no teacher is present. 6.-General Attitude. Must have interest of school at heartg be courteousg set good example. 7 .-Habits.

National Constitional Contest McKinley took great interest in the National Constitutional Contest. Nearly every pupil in school entered a paper in the contest, but these were gradually elim- inated until twelve stood out as the best of the group. These were written by Bradley Spencer, A7g VVilliam Kauffold, B95 'Henry Larrecq, A95 Wlinnifred Theed, ASQ Verna Sharp, A83 Herman Leaf, ASQ Julius Epstein, B95 Margaret Weisz, A8g Bernice Lucier, A83 Richard Gertsen, A8g Margaret Thomas, B95 Mary Adams, A9. The essays were to be original and to create more respect for and interest in the Constitution of the United States. They were also intended to inspire patrio- tism for the government. With Fiffty dollars as a goal, a number of pupils tried hard to collect material for their work, and found much valuable information about the government which will prove benehcial to them later although they may not realize it now. From the twelve best essays, six were chosen to try for the final prize. These were VVinnifred Theed, Margaret Thomas, Bradley Spencer, Margaret X-Veisz, Ber- nice Lucier, and julius Epstein. These contestants decided to divide the prize of fifty dollars among the best three, giving as first prize twenty-live dollars, as sec- ond, hftecn dollars, and as third, ten dollars. The final contest was held on the 4 .4 1 fi fl l i J f i I ' 1 I HoNoRABLE CIITIZENS I , Q evening of April 25, and the prizes went to Margaret Thomas, Bernice Lucier and Margaret VVeisz. Although the others did not receive a money reward, they had the satisfaction of knowing that they will make better citizens bcause of their knowledge of the United States government and constitution. In the final contest for the entire District F, held at Los Angeles High School on the night of May 3, there were seven schools representing as many districts. Our representative, Margaret Thomas, won second place, of which Mclfinley is very proucl.-Murtlifa Burger and Doris H ayward, A9. Extemporaneous Speaking Contest U The contest given by The Herald to search out the pupils in the city schools who could best speak extemporaneously upon the subject Americanization fur- nished excitement for a while, because all wanted the McKinley representative to win. Out of each social sceince class two were chosen to try out. From these, one was chosen to represent McKinley junior l-ligh School. In this contest several high schools entered, which made a great handicap for our representative to over- come. Our school was well represented, however, by Margaret Thomas, H9, who won third place. VV e should be proud to have a girl of such ability in our midst.-- Harold 1llcCaII, A9. 'Q Penny Drive The penny drive for the Scholarship Fund of the Los Angeles Federation of Parent-Teachers Association has been a great help to certain boys and girls of the junior and senior high schools. It has helped them to stay in school and get an ed- ucation. Some parents have not enough money to send their children to school and buy the things that are needed in their work. The students of McKinley have worked hard to raise some money for these unfortunate children. Many have de- prived themselves of candy, gum, and many other things of pleasure. The diderent grades ran a race to see who could raise the most money. The BS's were first, raising 318.91 and the B7's were second. having Sf3l3.74. The amount sent in from McKinley amounted to S7S,76.-Tlzclnm Steezzsovi, A9. What it Means to Have a Locker To the pupil attending junior or senior high school a locker is a real need. Many a pupil gets provoked and says, I wish that I didn't have the old locker, but he would soon ery a different story if his locker was taken away from him. Frquently one hears of a pupil who has lost a pen, book, pencil, or some other article, and nearly always he lays the blame on his locker. As a rule, however, the article has been lost or misplaced through some act of carelessness on the part of the pupil. Everyone should have some svstem in keeping his locker. Ile should know just where everything is instead of throwing a book here and there, and mak- ing a grah for another book, taking a chance on getting the right one. 1 HQ ORP-il-SLE CITIZENS E A E The system with which we keep our lockers will have an elifect on our life after leaving school that cannot be realized now by the pupils. A person wl1o is neat and methodical has a better chance of success in any vocation than the person who puts a thing down anywhere and everywhere and has to hunt for it when that thing is wanted in a hurry. This latter kind of person is the one who is the first to be dismissed from any business, and he wonders why it is. Pupils of McKinley! You have an opportunity here to learn to be systematic in your work in the way in which you take care of your lockers. You should ap- preciate thc value of them. Make a certain rule of order in keeping thm, and this habit will stick to you through life.. As a success in the world you may look back upon your happy school days and what it has meant to each of you to have a locker. -Dorolhy Keeney, A9. Citizen Officers Besides the clubs and the organizations in Home Rooms, some of the recita- tion classes are regularly organized and oliicers are elected who perform real services and gain real value for themselves from this service. A class president is a great help to the teacher. Wliile the president is taking care of the attendance, the teacher may be devoting his full time to the lesson and the pupils of the class.. By doing this, much time is saved. Another important otlicer of the class is the secretary, who makes out the absence slips and checks otif the homework to be handed in. This relieves the teacher of being responsible for back papers. The president calls on the pupils to recite and sees that the room is being conducted orderly. Wlhen the teacher is unable to be present, the presi- dent assumes the teacher's place, and the class is conducted in the usual manner. lt is a great satisfaction to the teacher if the class can be trusted when left alone. The students who are elected by the class are helped very much by holding their positions. Experience in meeting the public overcomes self-consciousness. The president becomes experienced in leading others. The ofhcers must plan ahead, serve and give the best. The responsibility is realized by the ones in authority. The teacher has put his confidence in them and the responsibility rests upon the ohicers. Sri .v HONORABLE CITIZENS I 1 The class in general is benefited in having its own officers. It is a lesson of co- operation. Every one feels that the success of the class depends upon his hearty co-operation with the ones in authority. The pupils recognize and respect their officers. VV ith the co-operation of each student and self-control, respect is shown for the teacher, the ones in authority, and the school. Because of this great help, officers are elected in most social science classes.-Efzfclyn Smih, A9. OFFICERS FOR SOCIAL SCIENCE CLASSES Prvsidrfnt Esther Land . ..... .. Ray Mallon ,.,.,.v......
