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

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.

.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......
