We have tried to show that in our school life we learn not only how to be- come good citizens in later life, but how to be true, loyal school citizens right now. This Annual has been divided into sections, each separate part show- ing a different kind Of school citizen. A short- explanation of each section follows: THE HEALTHY CITIZEN- Perhaps the most important section of our Year Book, and the one which, therefore, comes first, is that section dealing with our good health, and what we do at school to forward and improve it. THE PATRIOTIC CITIZEN- When we speak of the patriotic citizen, we wish not only to think of our patriotism toward our country and our flag, but also to illustrate how our patriotism enters into our every day school life and makes us give it our service and seek its rewards and benefits. THE DEMOCRATIC CITIZEN- We have called this section The Democratic Citizen because it deals with the fundamentals or cornestones of education,-those things which every individual needs to know. THE USEFUL CITIZEN- We have here tried to show those things which we learn in school which help to fit us to take positions after we leave school, that all our lives we may be all some use in the world. - THE SOCIAL CITIZEN- In this section we wish to show that our school education teaches us some valuable things which we can carry into our homes and use every day to make those homes happier and pleasanter places to be. THE HOME-LOVING CITIZEN- This section deals with the refining and cultural side of our school' life, shows many of the ways in which we enjoy one another's society when to- gether, and also illustrates what we learn in school that helps ug to spend pleasantly and profitably our leisure time. THE ADVANCIN G CITIZEN- The two graduating classes of the year are the Advancing Citizens of our school life. They typify our progress as they go from among us into higher' schools or into into their life work. --Winnijred Timed, A9.

In order to be able to serve our country best, in order to live a longer and better life for the -nation, we must possess one essential requirement, HEALTH. In order to have health, our physical, men- tal, and moral natures must be in such a condition that all functions are normally developed and work in harmony. Realizing that in order to have the best results we must be healthy citizens, the school is accomplishing this by the work of its Health Education Program, which includes the Physical Education Depart- ment, the Medical Department, the Remedial Physical Education De- partment, the Department of Hygiene and Sanitation, and the nu- trition classes. These various departments work to develop our physical, mental and moral natures. The first quality of Health is the development of our physical na- ture. No one can be healthy and remain healthy without paying constant attention to his physical well-being. This is especially true of the inactive life in the classroom, which tends to decrease the strength of our muscles, thus aitecting our blood circulation and digestive processes, which in turn affects our mental and moral con- ditions. Therefore, the Physical Education Department by a well- halanced and scientiiically worked out program of the various ex- ercises and games te-nds to make one's muscles stronger, at the same time bettering the whole system. For those who have some defect or other, the Health Education Program offers special courses which tend to correct these defects, thus bringing one 'back to normal. This course is called corrective gymnastics. There are also nutrition classes for the underweight pupils. At the same time all the children are kept under the eye of the Medical Department. ln this department is a doctor who gives the children the proper medical attention. This doctor also prescribes the amount of work a child may do if he is restricted for some rea- song corrects any organic defects, and in general supervises the health of the children. The Hygiene section of the Health Education Department tends to create correct habits of living, so that the children may practice at home what they learn in school. The second quality of Health is the development of one's mental L L XLLLLITLLHLLLLLLLLLL TTYTTYTYTWTYYYTTYYYI Ll-L L1 LL l 1LLAIfl 1 L llllig. Y TYTYYYY1mTYY?Y'!Y nature. By making the conditions of our systems more perfect, we greatly aiu in the distribution of foods and body builders throughout our system by eliminating all the waste material, and give 2111 our organs and muscles the proper amount of oxygen, which science tells us is as essential to us tor good reasoning power as it is for our physical well-being. Constant training enables a person to make a quicker response, get a situation and act raster and more quickly. Now, last, but not least, comes the third quality: the development of the moral' nature. There is no doubt but that the Health Educa- tion Department has as much to do with the development of moral nature as it does with the preceeding two. What do sports teach us? The answer is: They teach us to play the game fair, to play it clean, to take what is coming to us and do not go sulking around because you were defeated, to be ready to sacrifice your own star- dom for that of the team, not to attempt to pull alo-ne and leave the team behind, to respect the opponent. We could go on listing many such results which come from sports, but these few will give a varied idea of what sports are for. lf you do not have a few athletic sports in your daily program you will soon lose the pleasure of life. You will not get the right kind of developme-nt and moral ideas. The following is a commandment by Theodore Roosevelt that should he adopted hy all true Americans: lf it were within my pow- er, l would make a new commandment, which like those of old, would he for the good of every person, you-ng ani old, weak or strong, rich or poor, sick or well, and it wr-ull read: 'Thou and thy children and thy children's children shall fre- quently and regularly practice some approved form of physical cul- ture: not for thine own good alone, but for the good of thine off- spring, aye, for the good of the community and society and for all liumanity,' -Edward Heil, A9. A Happy Healthy School Environment 'fWhat fun it is to he alive! cries every McKinley heart as we come skipping along to school full of the sheer joy of living. Every- thing is so nice for us at school. We breathe fresh air, we sit in carefully lighted rooms to study. We can have a hot lunch when we get hungry, and things are kept so clean. There are exercises for our hungry muscles to do and games for us to play when we get tired of sitting. All these things help us to make our lessons easy and work light. Our class rooms are carefully planned and so arranged that there is a constant supply of light, and fresh air. Usually the sun in shin- L 1 L.L1L14LLJlLLlLLLLL fYTTTTYYY1WVTTYT'T1YYI ing in cheerfully, so that the light falls just right on our desks. This makes it very easy to read. Then as we go from one class to a-n- other, we are actually out of doors for a little while. This helps to break the monotony of school life. The cafeteria is a place we love to go at noon. Here is where our empty stomachs get their till of the best food and in quick service. This is also an airy place and well lighted. The doors and windows are thrown open and the fresh air gets in. After we have finished our lunch we hear the play bell ring. This is for the noon games. Whe-n we go out on the play grounds everything is clean. The pupils of McKinley appre- ciate the work of Mrs. Powell and her helpers, who keep the school plant in such good condition. We know that they are always con- siderate of our comfort, and most of us try to help them in many ways. Mrs. Powell has been a member of the school family longer tha-n any of the pupils have been livingg in fact she has been here since it school in the orchard. Her was a four-room corner of a peach stories about the Mrs. Eliza J. Powell Custodian The games have started. Oh! school and its con- growth of the dition i-n former times are very interesting. the fun in them! The time fairly NIL flies. The bell ri-ngs and we enter our class rooms refreshed by our play. We're then ready to begin the afternoon classes with new vigor. We also play games during the day. This is during our gym period. All the girls and boys look forward to this period and think it is the best of the day. Our tired muscles are relaxed and other muscles worked. The after-noon passes quickly. Then the bell rings for dismissal. We then start for home. After all, it is a pleasure to be in a school like McKinley Junior High.-Jeanie Learmonth, B9. Llllllllllllllllll V1 1fTfYfY,1fMfIfTffiY A Visit to the School Doctor Willa Mae Jones third period pleasef' This was my invitation to visit Doctor Chase. So the next day the third period I solemnly marched into the office when l saw many other girls. After waiting for some time l was summoned to the desk at which Doctor Case sat. After re-adusting her spectacles, she stood up and asked me to kindly open my mouth, which l promptly did. She then examined my teeth, and placing a flat stick in my mouth, she proceeded to examine my mouth and throat. The second thing she did was to take out two long rubber tubes, the ends of which she inserted in her ears, the other part of the ap- paratus was placed on my chest. I was then, asked to breathe deep- ly. This was to test my heart. My eyesight was also tested by means of reading a group of num- bers and letters at the distance of about fifteen feet. The letters were in graduated sizes, and I found that l could not read the smaller ones. lf Doctor Case finds any ailment, which she thinks should be taken care of, she suggests that you go to the clinic or to your own doctor, especially so for eyes and teeth. Doctor Anderson has charge of the boys and conducts their ex- amination in much the same manner. The main purpose of having a school doctor is to keep the school children in a healthy condition, so as to be able to do the required school work. A Whenever you feel that you 'need a doctor's examination, do not hesitate to visit Doctor Case or Dr. Anderson in their office next door to the left of the Book Store, and they will be glad to render to you any assistance they are able to give.-Emma and Martha Delsasso. The Weight Gain Club As the bell rings for the pupils to go to their third period class, one may see slim, but joyful boys and girls go down to the cafeteria. Some- times you may have wondered what was going on down there be- cause the boys and girls go in with a smile and come out with a broader one. Well, the secret is this. They belong to one of the best clubs made for the health of those who are a little underweight. Each person is given a half-pint of the best milk obtainable, and oh, how they enjoy it! Many of the pupils bring crackers and a sandwich. They then have what you might call a little luncheon be- fore dinner time. e Each individual has made up his mind to gain, and with this atti- ILLLLJLLLLLLLLLLLL AL I y f11vvvf v,1fxQirvv v rv -v rva J Llllllilllllllllllllll yvw vvYvvv1p?Qr1vvvv-'wvra tude toward this club, is it any wonder then, how wonderful every- thi-ng is worked out? Every-one asks himself, I wonder how much l've gained, so in order to find out, the members of this club are weighed every two or three weeks to find just exactly how much they have g'ained. ul When they come up, their smile is much more broader 'and hap- pier than when they went in because they know that they are on what you might call the Road to Health and Happiness. -Margaret Weisz. The Corrective Class One of the most splendid and noteworthy institutions in our school is the Corrective Department. To boys and girls who suffer from physical defects corrective work comes as a wonderful opportunity to make themselves as near physically perfect as possible, and for this reason the gymnasium period is looked forward to as one of the most interesting and instructive of the whole day. The aim of Corrective Physical Education is to rebuild lost muscle control and improve posture. Each student is given a set of ex- ercises especially designed for him, and every student will be great- ly benefited by the course of exercises assigned to him, provided he practices them regularly. It is very interesting for the pupil to watch this improvement from day to day. for in many cases the change is quite noticeable, and the great benefit received from corrective work assists him in his future as well as present life. Many people may wo-nder how the class progresses from day to day with enthusiastic and unflagging interest in the long and tedious process of reconstructing a defective body. The secret of this is that there is a wonderful goal of attainment held out to each student. This goal is not only the great one of physical perfection, which all should strive to reach, but also the power to pass the required tests and return to general work with the knowledge that he is as fit as his comrades.-Winnifred Theed.

Each class had two teams, composed of twelve players, making twenty-four in all. The teams were numbered one and two, and every team one played all the other one teams, while the two teams played each other.. Both teams in each grade played exceptionally well, so that on the final day of the games, several teams were in the lead. The climax came Tuesday. The partisans for every grade were in evidence, every one confident that her team would win, and indeed if the cheers of the rooters alone could have won the game, every team would have emerged victorious, for the girls' lung power was tre- mendous. At last, after an exciting half hour, the bell rang, a-nd we discovered that the AWS had beaten the B7's by one point, and thereby won the tournament. r We were very glad to have the graduating class win, yet we secret- ly envied the you-ngest class who were such good players and such good losers.

Interfclass Basket Bali Games One of the many of our school activities that inspires a wholesome rivalry between the grades is the series of girls' inter-class basket ball games that decides the basket ball championship every term. The games are contested between the three upper grades and are under the auspices of our gymnasium teachers. Tryouts for places on the teams are held during the physical training periods. The A9's covered themselves with glory last term 'by winning the school championship. They deserve special mention, as the class was an unusually small one. The B9's, by their good work, came very near winning the coveted championship, while the A8's, who had only a few weeks practice, played exceptionally well. The players in general showed good team work, while the losers showed their tine spirit by congratulating the champs, -Lillian Rosen and Ruth Stewart, A9's. B7fA7fB8 Captain Ball During the last few weeks of the fall term the girls' physical ed- ucation teachers taught us the game of Captain Ball.

One day Miss Cone announced that we, the B8's, were to have the teams called Midgets, Intermediates, and Giants, and were to play against the B7 and A7 classes during noon periods. This caused a great deal of excitement, and we looked forward to the day our schedule would start. TI1e'I37's and A7's deserve credit for splendid work, and did their utmost to overpower the B8 teams, but the upper grade girls showed better team work, and at the end of the schedule we had won a total of twelve games. 'The teams are as follows: M I D G E T S- TEAM rl.-Hazel Len, Hazel Little, Eulalia Caron, Marian Miller, Gizella Loshoncy, June Valley, Myrtle Lofton, and Maudine Sim- mons.

Lllllllilllilllllll- 'T TYT'TYYY1WQfYTYYYTY r Gut Girls' Gym Class Hurrah for health and joyl. These jolly good fellows walk hand in hand down the road of physical contentment. The gym period is looked forward to as the best period of the day by most of us. For then troublesome ,I'ltl1I1lCtlCH problems and Hreadin' exercises are put aside for a few moments and we all join together in the ranks of striving for pep and life. Gymnastic ex- ercises that make us strong and bouyant are taken. l-low much easier to stand when our muscles are strong and when we once feel the self-respect that good posture gives us, never again will we slump. And how refreshed we feel when we loosen up the tightened muscles, till our expanded chests with fresh air a-nd have a real bodily relaxation! Strength! Health! Joy! is our goal. Then come the games, the best of it all, when we join in and play some lively peppy sport. Often the strains of the melodious piano add to the vim of our frolic and fun. What a glorious day it is when we have an entire period of in- door basketball or volleyball. We're cheerful losers and play for the pure love of outdoor sport. Sometimes our yard day is varied and instead of a game we have individual tests, such as basketball goal throw, baseball throw for distance, volleyball serve, and soccer goal kick. Each girl striving to make her score the best makes individual competition keen on these days. Every other Wednesday the class meets for hygiene when our personal physical condition is considered, and we obtain helpful sug- gestions for our human house, which must be well cared for and in order, so that it will last a good long time and work like a clock. And so the merry gym class goes on and each student is getting closer to his goal of physical fitness.-Margaret Thomas, AO W'35. ' Girls' Athletic Club The Girls' Athletic Association is of great importance, and value to the girls of McKinley, for it helps them to be strong in body, and it teaches them to be fair-minded in play. It gives them a chance to use their leisure time in a wholesome way. It consists of girls who are members of the noon leagues. At the beginning of the term, the membership of the Association is reorganized, for each term the girls draw for new teams. The day set for these drawings is full of excitement. Each girl draws a slip telling her what her team number is, and soueals for joy are heard if she draws the same number as her chum. ln a few days captains are Ll lllllllllllillllll 7--ll l i AL J T l TYTTYYYW TYYVTYYMYT chosen, an ollicc all girls aspire to obtain, but which honor is given only to the best player. When the play bell rings, the girls are all so enthusiastic over the games that it looks like a six-ring circus going on. Everyone on the yard is busy. AO's and BO's are playing basketball with an aroused audience. Three baseball diamonds are busy with home-runs not infrequent, Next we come to the A7's, who are playing long-ball, a simplified baseball game. And last, but not least, we must remem- ber the l37's, whose skill in volleyball is sometimes lacking, but enthus- iasm never. At the end of the term the members of the winning team in each league receive their McKinley monograms. These are awarded in the auditorium during the -noon period by Mrs. Strutliers. She speaks to the girls about honors, sportsmanship. and the noon games. For the term ending February, 1925, the following girls were awarded Monograms: ' TEAM 1-A9-B9 BASKETBALL LEAGUE: Hannah Deradooria.n, Helen Hougen, 'Irene Augustine, Martha Delsasso. Emma.

Girls' Athletic Council The Girls' Athletic Council is made up of members of the Athletic Club. These girls are chosen, two from each League, and remain members throughout their McKinley life. The officers of the club are elected from the Council. The Council meeting is heldonce a week and takes up any problems pertaining to noon leagues. The captains are urged to report any trouble or question about rules to them, so that it may be decided by the Council. They can al- ways be consulted, and counted on to assist the Physical Education directors in any phase of the work, and to lend able assistance on special event days. 1' E L A LLLLILALLALLLLLLLLL L 7. . g 1.7--.J'!.Lv 1-kxn -.At -- --- aw P 4 r 4 H P P v L- Q- v- r- +- v r r P P P P y 4 .P gf , . ,, 1 F TTYTTYTY1mFY7'!!,f7 Boys' Formal Work The formal work that is conducted in the playground includes marching, tactics, calisthenics, decathlon eve-nts, pyramid building for the A9 group, and special work for the squad leaders. The marching and calisthenics are worked out according to a pro- gram which calls for more simple work with the B7 group and grad- ually progresses, the A0's having the advanced combination work. This part of the program is desig-ned to develop in the boys quick response, control of movements and development of all the muscles in the body, as well as give the proper co-ordinations. The decathlon events are for the purpose of measuring the athletic ability, and strength of the individuals. These events include push- up, pull-up, pull-up, sit-up, basketball throw for goal, and football forward pass for accuracy during the first termg and the shot-put, broad iump, high jump, fifty-yard and seventy-five yard dashes in the second term. The AO group, as a more advanced group, works on the art of pyramid building, which requires strength, skill a-nd accuracy. The pyramids selected are very good, which fact helps to create interest among the boys. The squad leaders have special meetings during which they go over the general programs, and also do some advanced work. Football The 1924 football season was one of the most successful ever witnessed at McKinley. It was even more successful from the B9ls point of view, because this group copped the championship. The B7 group fthe green stuff from the grammar schoolsl wo-n the A7 group, but finally lost in the race. The B7's performed very well and de- serve every praise. The B8 group was the runner-up for the championship, but lost to the powerful B9 combination. The A9 group worked hard, but on account of lack of material lost the laurels. The A7 and A8 groups also worked hard. In fact, every team was very enthusiastic in the tight, receiving strong support from their classes. The championship game was the best exhibition of Junior football of the entire season. The B9 team showed perfect form, covered the l38's with a shower of passes and aided by the talented toe of Rich- ffl lL1lL4LlLllLLLLlLL 'ff1g,f1vvfv1fs4?QrfYYfYYYl: ard McDaniel, smothered the B8 team to the tune of a 22-0 defeat. Receiving the kick-off on his 10-yard line, McDaniel rushed the ball back to mid-field before being downed. After three plays the B8's took the ball on their 15-yard line. On the first play Zaby shot a fast pass which was snagged out of the air by Linn, the star center of the B9 team. An end run by Jones put the ball in, a position for a drop-kick. Then McDaniel did his stuff, and the ice was broken for the B9 championship. ln the second quarter, the B9's opened up a shower of passes that could not be stopped by the B8's. It was a Jones-Pilcher, McDan- iel-Battyany combination. The performance of Jones and Pilcher was good enough at any time to spell a touchdown and then secure more firmly the victory. It should be said in all fairness to the B815 that it was an extended noon period that accounted for the terribly large score on the other side. fSome of the wise ones in the B9 gal- lery were asking what was the cause of the goose-egg for the B8's. No one attempted to answer this question. Captain Dobbins is to be congratulated on his splendid team. There was at all times good sportsmanship shown. and everyone is satisfied with the result. Looking around here after the stress of battle is over and a calm has settled on the advocates of Junior Football, we find the following boys wearing the purple and gold diamond, the svmbol of victory achieved by hard work on the football field: Ellis Dobbins fCapt.J, Richard McDaniel, Charles Jones, Florian Casados, Theodore Hupp, Arthur Skuratowsky, Frank Pilcher, James Wil- liams, Laurence Rice, Lyn-n Garbett, George Wade, Basil McDowell, Millard Johnson, Louis Battyany, and Roy Robertson. Handball A little round black ball, a determination to win and thirty min- utes of time make a pleasant combination for almost any quartet of McKinley boys. Favored with splendid courts, ocean breezes, and California sunshine, it is little wo-nder that many of us exhibit a healthy coat of tan. We hasten to inform you we are not indians fal- though some of our actions might justify that conclusionl if our complexions dot resemble a California sunset. The game' of handball has a lot to do with it. And judging from the numbers always found on the courts, we have a lot to do with the game of handball. Last term found Tony Rini and Brassy Gior- dano playi-ng a 21-20 game for the school championship. Brassy got the pennant, but it was by the skin of his teeth. Many other games just as exciting were played. The Directors take a little inter- LLILAILLJLLLLLLLLL fTYYTTYYT1WfTY'!T!eY est in this game too, and it is understood they issued a challenge to any combi-nation in school. Sh-!! - They were beaten once or twice or maybe it was three times. At any rate, there is always pep when we play our Directors. We are sorry to hear of the change in the number of our courts that will probably he made soon in the future. Last year's class winners are as follows: First period-Robert Jones. Second Period-Arthur Morales Third Period-Rubin Whaley ' Fourth Period-Tony Rini. I Seventh Period-Brassy Giordano Eighth Period-Lucky Stewart School Champion-Brassy Giordano. Basketball . Basketball is an important link in our noon activities. Some of the boys prefer to play this game, and it is not unusual to find a boy sticking to this game during his stay at McKinley. lt is a very active game, therefore it attracts the vigorous type of youth. The greatest trouble seems to be in securing good officials. Basketball! scores at McKinley were very close this year in both leagues. The Senior winners are: Roland Symons, Capt., Merle Mallon, Charles Li-nd, and Everett Wantland. The Intermediate winners are: Abe Tankenson, Capt., Cecil Win- cox, Juan Alameda, Charles Podilla, Oscar Sokol, Terry Olson, and Albert Bobo. - Indoor The Noon League of Indoor at McKinley has the enthusiastic sup- port of every boy in school. Not only is it a fascinating way to spend the noon period, but it is an expression of youthful vigor and delight. It is an organization dating many, many years back, and quite a few of the boys who have graduated are to be found in local high schools holding down important positions on their baseball teams. We have four leagues on our grounds, selected according to ability. The National league boasts the greatest ability, while the Y I L 111141111-lllllillll 'I Tv1,,fTTfYY1WQfTYYT'YfY'1:.1i Bush league has not only the greatest ability in the making but the loudest organization in Indoor to be found anywhere. After the teams are chosen by their respective captains we have a week to com- plete all adjustments on teams. Then the Pennant Schedule begins in earnest, lasting throughout the entire semester. Needless to say many close games are played, many incidents occur that live long after i-n the memory of the participants, many disputes are settled, many umpires are among the missing. But these things make indoor a real sport. The fall league found Casados and Dobbins running neck and neck for the pennant. This was nothing new in the you-ng lives of these boys, so they took it as a matter of business-grim determina- tion to win. ' The winners of the various leagues are as follows: NATIONAL-Ellis Dobbins CCapt.j, Henry Clifton, Frank Pil- cher, Richard McDaniels, Edwin Carl, J. D. Ray, Harold Barber, Charles Jones, Morris Gold, Barton Smith. AMERICAN league winners-James Hendrick fCapt.J William Kauffold, Edmund Poland, Ernest Brooks, Everett Caron, Louis Scarpello, Harold Trime, Carl Jones, Irving Burak, and Juan Fish. COAST league monogram winners-Howard Theroit, Capt., Ken- neth Leedom, Arthur Dennis, Camillo Zippi, Vincent De Gruccio, Salvadore De Gruccio, Sam Narens, Louis Jerzykowsky, Robert Sex- ton, John Clauder.

Wluat The Government Gives Us I cinment docs for you the pupils of McKinley Jumor High School? The goveinment has provided us with large iec- , itation rooms where there is plenty ofventilation and light. We also are provided with free text books, good teachers, a large aud- itorium, a good, sanitary cafeteria, and, as in most schools, physical education is taught. The purpose of this is to give the children such recreation in sports that can not be obtained at most homes. This helps to increase the -number of bright, healthy, and intelligent chil- dren who in the future will be the voters of the United States. Safety zones are now provided by the Police Department for the school children who, like many pedestrians, are often careless in cross- ing the streets, and in many places a policeman is stationed at the schools, to see that the children cross the streets in safety. The government has also provided homes for children whose fath- ers had been either soldiers or sailors. Here they have the same op- portunities as other children who have both parents. All of these things the government has do-ne for children like the pupils of McKinley Junior High School, so the least we can do is to express our appreciation by 'showing good citizenship qualities and by doing our best to care for our fine school, and the books we have the privilege to use. -We should all practice thrift and be saving of our pens, papers, pencils, and other school materials which are furnished for our use.-Bernice Lucier, H.

Loyalty Of all the qualities that make a worthy man or woman, loyalty is the most important-loyalty to one's home, to one's friends, to one's school, to one's country. Loyalty is that which makes a thrill run through you when you see YOURftlag waving in the breeze and as you gaze upon it your heart heats fast with the love, the pride and the joy withinl it. A loyal student of McKinley will obey his teachersg keep the rules of his school and co-operate -with his fellow students, for co- operation goes hand in hand with loyalty.-Sylvia Dolhinow, B8. lcllcLLLLlllLlLLLLLLLLl-J fTTYTTYTY'1m!YYYf'7TYYi l iw-an :Aim LLLILLLILLLLIIILLLIILJ I T'!.fTTTYY1rx?QfYLYYf TYYY--T, The Board of Control The Board of Control is a-n organization of true-blue McKinley cit- izens, representing the student body. They carry McKinley's welfare and progress nearest their heart and do their bit of service cheerfully in the hope that it will bring somebody good and benefit the school that is so dear to us all. Loyalty, Service, and Co-operation is their motto, and they aim to keep McKinley hrst in rank, Hrst in achievement, and first i-n the minds of all true Mcliinleyites. One of ther biggest achievements of the Board of Control was the purchase of the motion picture machine. Another great achievement was the splendid improvement it brought about in our wonderful cafeteria. The beautiful curtains on the stage are also part of the Board's noteworthy work. As the time goes on, this body of worthy and energetic McKin- leyites continues to serve the school and to promote good fellowship and hearty school spirit.-Margaret Thomas, A9. The Girl Traffic Officers The Girl TraiTic Officers' organization has just been established this year. At the head of this organization is Miss Hughes, one of Mc- Kinley's teachers. The girls are at their distinct posts of duty at assigned periods. They are to help all visitors or new stude-nts in Ending the class rooms. They also see that every student has a green slip, that no one runs, sings, whistles, bangs the locker doors, makes unnecessary noise in the hall, or writes on the walls. The tratiic girls also remind the pupils of the waste paper boxes and thus help to keep the halls clean. One's conduct is based on the rights nf others as well as on one's personal wishes. We must not forget that when a tratiic girl tells us to do something, it is for the benefit of every one. These girls are here to help us, and we may ask them for any necessary information. The following girls were on tratiic duty for the hrst term: Ella Giltsch, Fannie Gittlemain, Bessie Riley, Aurora Carmona, Margaret Thomas, Aurora Lavezzi, Margaret Allen, Virginia Giddings, Sara Michelson, Pauline Silverherg, Louise Cuiper, Anita Yanez, Leona Ringler, Louise Critchiield, Evelyn Garver, Gladys Whitmore, Ger- trude Berkowitz, Ida Kotick, Blanche George, Adeline Buxton, Helen Silberberg, Lucy Mirabella, Donalda Hands, Miriam Ringold, Louise Leach, Winifred Fisher and Vivian Fierke. Those who are servng this term are: Leona Ringler, Ella Giltsch, Nettie Friedman, Eleanor Conrad, Dorthy Thompson, Rose Plasch, Louise Leach, Aurora Carmona, and Margaret Leonard.

They are not selected because they are favorites of certain teachers, but be- cause of their good citizenship and leadership qualities. They must not. have more than o-ne C and they are allowed no D's or E's. lf a boy is failing in any subject, he is dropped from the Traffic until he is stronger in his work. The duty of these boys is to direct 'I'rati'ic in the halls and to keep order at all times. They also assist in showing visitors and newcom- ers of the school to ditlerent rooms. The Traffic boys are allowed no privileges excepting that they may be excused for tardiness to classes. When a tight or any trouble starts in the halls or on the grounds, it is the duty of the Traffic boys to stop it. The Trattic Boys also usher in the auditorium. After a boy has been on the Tratiic for one term, he has the privilege of obtaining a gold Traffic pin.-John Clauder, A9. The Civic League Where is the hot dog line? asks a B7. Then the reception committee, Jane Stemshorn and Constance Morse, answers: Straight ahead, line to the right. Then to a B7, Stop running! Come here to the door and go back again. Jane goes after a girl who has pushed ahead in line, while Con- stance tries to hold back the line with one hand and form- the girls in twos with the other hand. Here, go back around Jane, says Eva Yanofsky. But Jane isn't there for the girl to go around, she is starting after another girl who has come in the wrong door. The poor little B7's just stand there, not knowing what to do. Hurry up, move on! Oh! are you a sc-l mean a B7? Y-e-yes-ma 'am. Do you want hot dishes or hot dogs? Both please. , Helen, show this girl the way, says Eva. Don't crowd ahead, go to the end ofthe line, says Gladys Baxter. Hot dogs this way. No, don't move over there. Of course you know this is from Helen Frentress. Don't push up there. Please hurry and stay in two li-nes, girls. xxxxxaamaiaaixxixacx ' I TYTTYYY1WfTY'?Y!.Y Really Thelma Prideaux has a hard job keeping those lines straight. How many times have we spoken to you about rocking in those chairs? asks May Larson. Those cushion tips are on the chairs to reduce the -noise. They're not rockers. No, you can't eat in this section. Oh, please just once. Just this once. No, rules are rules. We don't make them. You'll have to see Mrs. Erickson if you want to change them. May, send those three girls hack. They have to go in the other door, called Catherine Sims from her traitic post -near the west door. These are some of the trials of the cafeteria traitic girls at the be- ginning ofthe new term. Now, we'll give you the idea of the boys' experiences. The favorite sayings of the boys' reception committee, consisting of Frank Pilcher and Leslie Wayman are: Hey, come hack here - Stop pushing - Cro back to the end of the line, etc. Scrub: Say! Stop pulling me around. I can walk. t Letslie: Sorry, but you'll have to get in line if you want anything o ea . When the scrub finds out that Leslie is an A9 he doesn't try to argue anymore. Frank tto a new boyj: I-Iey, you, take these dishes away with you. New Boy: Oh, so that's the system is it? Well, all right. Arthur Skuratowsky stands at the e-ntrance and hears this remark every day. B82 Oh, Art, isn't there enough room for a few of us fellows. I am nearly starved. Arthur: Well, I guess about two or three of you can go now. Bill tto Ed after they have been separatedj 1 Aw, come on in this line. Nobody will know the did. Bill: Sure. Come on quick before anybody sees you. Arthur McDougal: I thought I told you to go in this line. Well, anyway, you get back in this line. Ed: Oh, gee! I suppose I ll have to go. See you later. Rees Caddow is a regular cop. I-le stands withhis arms extend- ed and one boy passes at a time. This gives you a very small idea of what the Civic League members do in their effort to make a better McKinley.-Jane Stemshorm and Constance Morse, A9's. L sl 1 L A I fL.1...4. ....

There are always many more applicants for places than there are open- ings. This is our program for a busy day. Of course many un- pected things come to our attention which we must handle in a business-like way. BEFORE SCHOOL-This is the rush hour at McKinley when we give out admission cards to pupils who have been absent. How we do wish the pupils would remember to come in at eight o'cIock for it would make our work so much easier! -Yetta Rosenblum, Martha Delsasso, Rose Radofsky, Irene Marvin and Hilda Stryker, A9's. PERIOD il-I-Iere come tardy students. They must be cared for. Then we record absences on the register while other assistants clear the board and put up new slips for the new day. -Grace Dean, Lillian Rosen, A9'sg Rebecca Rose, B9g Virginia Giddings, Marie Marvin, and Evelyn Fried- larnder, A7's. PERIOD 2-I-las this boy been in school without an admission card? We must look him up and Iind out if he was absent yester- day and why he did not get his card. -Marian Bergoug-noux, A8. PERIOD 5-Why have these boys and girls been absent? It is our special task to Iind out so we prepare notices to be taken by messengers to the homes. Someone must always be ready to keep the slips up on the board. -Lillian Ziskin, B93 Mildred Welch, A8. PERIOD 5-We have an important job. We ile excuses. This is very good ollice practice for us and we take pride in doing our work accurately and in keeping it up to date. -Marian Eltelt, B83 Helen Faller, BS. PERIOD 5-Such a bee-hive!

We do -not be- lieve there would be so much absence if the pupils knew more about the work of the attendance office. -Jacoba Janssen, BO, Florence Schiffiler, BQ. AFTER SCHOOL-This is the time to finish up the work of the eighth period and do many little odds and ends. -Lillian Smith and Marie Heller, A9's. School Honors Doubtless there are many pupils at McKinley who do not quite understand the method in which the grades and pins are given, so l will try to explain the system which is now in use. - The highest pin, the scholarship-citizenship pin, is given when the pupil receives an Ael' in all subiects. An Ae may be obtained when the reduired work is up to an A and extra work is done outside of class. The pin of the next level, the' citizenship-scholar- ship pin, is awarded to the pupil who receives an A in all sub- iects. The A is given when the required work is equal to an A, but when no extra work is done. To win either of these two awards, the pupil must receive A in all citizenship qualities as well. Then we have the scholarship-citizenship certificates. These show that the pupil almost reached the standard for a pin, but was hindered by a B mark in ten hours of work. Mcliinleyites! Put every effort into your work, strive for one of these three honors and make McKinley proud of you. - Grace Dean, A9. -- Reach the Goal Work hard, think hard. Reach the goal at last!

Llll1lLlL.ll-LLLLL LLLLL1 Y TY'Y'TYYY1 fYf'!'7.'i7 Merits and Demerits The McKinley Junior High School has adopted a very interesting system of merits and demerits for attendance. lf a pupil is absent and does not bring an excuse giving the date and the reason for the absence, he will have ten merits taken from the hundred which he is give-n at the tirst ot the term. lf a pupil loses thirty of these merits, he may be suspended from school. A settlement must be made with the pupil's parents before he can enter school again. lf a pupil is tardy to a recitation and the teacher sends him for an excuse, more merits are lost. In this way we keep up our school attendance. Ma-ny other schools have adopted this system and tind it satis- factory.-Florence Norman, H. R. 2. McKinley J1lSt think, if we didn't have our schools How stupid We all would he- That's why I try my best to behave When Vin in dear, old McKinley, It's the dearest school in the world to me, To it I shall ever g1'ZI,i'.6fll1 be its teaching so helpful and wise Which shall G'E21' be remeinbered by nie. -Phyllis For Sills, HS. School Citizenship McKinley's pupils should be proud, For all its rules are very good. They honor and respect their flag, As loyal pupils always should. In olden days the rules were stern, And lessons taught by push and shove, But McKinleyites their lessons learn, By lcindliuess and teaoher's love. And we of this present day and age, How happy we should be. To have here at our own comniand Such realms of opportunity. LLL tlllhlliilllllllllll 'rT1vYvvvf1fxQqrv1tfnfYY v5 A Patriotic Citizen Participates in the Life of His Community One way in which the pupils of McKinley Junior High School have joined in the lite outside is by their response to the calls of the Com- munity Chest. The Community Chest is an organization which brings together all charitable and relief institutions under one management. Los Ange- les realizes there are many needy whom societies can not care for unless they combine their eltorts. As the old saying goes, ln union there is strength. Therefore, one hundred and twenty societies have banded together under one head. Those who benelit by the Community Chest are the widow and her fatherless children, the old, the sick and the crippled. The old type of Drive and Tag Days have up to this time been brought con- stantly before the public. In these drives each society worked for itselt' and there were numerous requests for aid. Some of the public can give all of the timeg all of the public can give some of the time, but all the public cannot give all of the time. Every citizen who wants to do something for his country and fel- lowmen is glad to contribute his small share to help the good work along. All that is asked is to give what one is able and to give willing- ly. After all, there is nothing that makes us happerier, more satis- lied with life than sharing the good fortune which we enjoy.-Irma Woehler, AO. A Citizen Band One way that McKinley can take part in the community doings, is through the band. They are more than glad when asked to play at celebrations, such as were held in honor of the opening of the street lights, last term on South Park Ave., and this term on Central Ave. Both times a truck was secured, so that the boys would not have to A L LSI L-lCL.l..Llifl.I L A L 1 L L Li fTTTTTYTY1WifTYYTTYYYfi i' l' ' -M 'I' fffifigg .f 4 , ' .

After the parades, they were royally treated by the business men of the neigh- borhood. Mr. Brauer, the director,'could not be present when they played on Central avenue, so George Ward took charge, and directed the hand with good success.-Herald Tryon, B9. The Boy Scouts Although we do not have a Boy Scout Troop in connection with McKinley, we do have many boys who belong to the ditierent troops located near here, and who bring credit to our school in this con- nection. The aim of the Scout movement is to help boys do things them- selves, to promote their ability, and to teach them to be more loving and kind. The good training a boy gets from the Scouts will show in later years. If a Boy Scout is a true Scout he will live up to certain ideals. He is fair and square. While having, a test he does not look at another hoy's paper. lf he does, and passes, it will not help him in later years. If a boy lives up to the rules, it not only makes him a better school citizen and student, but a true, honest American citizen.-Scout .l.

The purpose of this organization is to bring the girls up to be healthy, clean, and useful. The tests which the members must take show whether one can accept responsibility for different things. Some people think t-hat the purpose of the Girl Scouts is to go on camping trips and hikes, but although we do go on these camping trips, it is just to help us to be healthy and to love out- door life. Although our troop started out with eight girls, we have worked very hard until we got more girls interested in scouting, and we now have a large troop. , The girl who is a Scout gains much help in being a good citizen and in being loyal to her school.-Anna Miller, A8. The Girl Reserves The Girl Reserves is the national movement of the Young Women's Christian Association for girls in the cities, towns, and the open country. Any girl between twelve and eighteen, whether in grade school, Junior High School, High School or business and in- dustry, may become a member, sharing in the good times, hikes, camps, and service to other girls in all the world, if she pledges her- self to accept the slogan, purpose and code. SLOGAN: To face life squarely. PURPOSE: To find a-nd give the best. CODE: As a Girl Reserve I will he gracious in manner, im- partial in judgment, ready for service, loyal to friends, reaching toward the best, earnest, in purpose, seeing the beautiful, eager for lcnowledgellretverent to God, victorious over self, even dependable, sincere at a imesf' The organization is divided into many clubs or triangles. Many of the McKinley girls belong to the Tacoma Triangle, where we have a great deal of fun, but aside from fun we work for honors, which are divided into four main groups: Spirit, Health, Knowledge and Service.-Emma and Martha Delsasso. Y H Ll .L L -L 1 L 1 Ilflflli' IS'f,7IfTITfLfTI SL 1 L T TYTTYYY1 YTJYTYYY Tradition Tradition is that which is handed down from generation to genera- tion, formerly by word of mouth, now by written language. To America, the word brings to mind a rich storef of -names associated with which are the loftiest ideals and the finest of material achieve- ments. Perhaps the first name is that of Washington-loyalty, hon- estyg others follow quickly in the wake of his name, once your mem- ory is aroused: Nathan Hale-bravery, a man who completely forgot self, Franklin-the man of cosmopolitan helpfulness, William Lloyd Garrison-unseliishness5 Horace Nlann-believer in educa- tion, Lincoln-gentleness, sympathy, Longfellow-lover of beauty, Daniel Boone-integrity, Wilson-steadtastness3 Clara Barton and Jane Adams, love tor TCIIOWIHCHQ John Burroughs--a worshipper of the beauty' in nature of God, Robert E. Lee-loyalty to what he be- lieved to be right and the courage to stand by his beliefs. Aren't we Americans proud when we remember these Hne citizens? And they are but a fewr of the outstanding ones. Notice again some of the qualities that go to make a good citi- zen, loyalty, honesty, steadfastness, bravery, unselfishness, rever- ence, obedience. Then comes the thought-are the citizens of Mc- Kinley Junior l-ligh School building their future citizenship on these qualities--for the strength of the building depends on the strenffth of the foundation. With these names as inspiration let us aim high. fCompiled from reports given by A8 History Classesj THE POOR CITIZEN-f 1 T, ji A nom' citizen ' Arises each morning at eight-fifteen, ls late to school. tries to slin in unseen: ' But the eye of Miss 'Frowlmrirlze soon snots him, ..

No, ma'am, answered Tommy, t'l was late and couldn't get itf, Thomas, have you your book covered? asked the second per- ior teacher. No, ma'am, l-l forgot it, comes from Tommy. Third period was gym and he was not asked for anything. ln fourth period his teacher said, Tommy, have you that late work finished yet? A-a-part of it, sir, Tommy said. And so things went until after school when it was time to go home. One of the hoys said to Tommy, Hey, Tom ain't you gonna take anything home? No studies? . Any time you ketch me' takin' home studies! Say, them teachers is allus -nailin' on to me. 'Have you got this? and have ya got that? ' Huh! They allus want you to do somethin! lt gives me pain, said Tommy rather disdainfully. Why don't you dig once in a while and surprise them? said one of the girls. Tommy said that he didn't think anything would surprise those teachers. But the girl's words rather took effect on Tommy, for he went hack to his locker and decided he'd take part of them home any way and try her idea. The next day Tommy's first, second, third, third,-yes, all his teachers seems quite pleased. lt made Tommy feel sort of happy to hear the grades read. Thomas Tompkins-100, 90, 100, 96, 85, 100, 95, 90. Those grades were for the day, and as Tommy heard them he felt a funny little proud feeling running up and down his spine and he rather liked it. That night and every night he did all his work. l-le found that when it was time for report cards, it was the first time he did not dread it. And report cards did come and Tommy was very proud and happy because on his report card was only our HC and all the rest were A's and B's.-Miriam Bock, B8.

That is why we have little or no knowledge of the people and their ways before reading and writing came into eltect. Then came the Egyptians who began to use hieroglyphics, a pic- ture writing. But this writing was not accurate enough because these pictures had no definite meaning. One man would decipher the pic- ture of a dog and a cow as meaning Someone had died, while another man would decipher it as meaning Someone was dying, fort' a dog meant someone unknown and a cow was then the symbol of death. - Then came the really definite writing which had one meaning. The Babyloniarns wrote their business on clay tablets, many of which are still preserved. Ever since then people have become more and more educated until it came to be that in our time we cannot get along very well without knowing how to read and also to write. Reading is one of the most important subjects, because if we could' not read, we could not' write nor do algebra, nor any of the sub- jects that are taught in school. In fact every study in school ha' some kind of writing, and we must know how to read to study these subjects. Much reading must be done in English, history, and various sciences. There are many other subjects in which reading plays an important part. One half or more of the knowledge we have has been attained through reading. Reading will help us also after we G-nish school, because if we should go into business for ourselves and we could not read, we would need a private secretary and most people who just start out in the business world cannot afford a private secretary. If we could not read, we couldn't learn the laws. In political life, too, the people who cannot read the papers cannot expect to take part in making the laws of our country. Without reading we would not have as many pastimes as we have at this time. We have a large public library. which would be of no use of most of the people could not read. Foreign papers are sold in the United States to give pastimes to the foreigners who cannot V3 XILLLALLJLLLLLLLLLL 11 Y F. TYTTTYYWWQFTYYYYYY read our language. We also have night schools for such people who can-not read, even for the people of our own nation who cannot read. A person who can read well can make the most dry and un- interesting book seem interesting. We can gain through reading the knowledge which men have worked and studied years to obtain. People cannot keep all the knowledge that they attain in their minds, so we have books to keep the knowledge for them. For people who have little time, magazines on every conceivable subject are pub- lished. Then too, there are those who prefer to gain their informa- tion in easier ways. For them the motion picture with illuminating titles serves the purpose. Reading is the chief communication between the civilized coun- tries. It is influential toward everything. A person who cannot read is shut off from the world and is blind to the walks of life and all its pleasures. Russians, French, Jewish, Irish, and all the other civilized people have their own language, and reading and writing is, of course, used. Foreigners who come over to the United States seem uneducated just because they have no knowledge of our language, while over in their country they know much more than many of us. This shows that in one part of the world a person seems uneducated while in another part of the world a person smart and wise. All this comes from knowing only the language of one's own country and no others. It pays to know more than one language. Many people of this country and of other cou-ntries know more than one language. Some even know as many as twen- ty to twenty-Eve different languages or at least most of the languages. Reading is the door leading into the room of knowledge. It is the foundation of all knowledge, and is a help to everybody from the richest to the poorest of people. We go to reading continually to look up things we do not know. Reading is the only way of keeping the language correct through all the generations. Looking back several generations shows that most, if not all, of the great men, were fond of reading. Abraham Lincoln is a good example. And also John O. Adams is another example, for he kept quite a large library in his borne at Mount Vernon. Whether in a fire-lighted cabin or a luxurious mansion a book benedts the reader. Correct reading broadens our view, strengthens our mind, enlarges our im- maginative powers and helps our ability to understand things which we did not understand before the time of reading. A person's suc- cess in life is due to his ability in reading, because it has helped him to understand his position or occupation. Reading is essential to the greater progress in every known manner.-A9 CLASSES OF ROOM 30. - E A iii W.

Therefore, the learning is an important part of the address. lt is a pleasure when alone and unoccupied to think over the beautiful thoughts conveyed to us in poems. 'There are many queer places and ways, which to some are ideal for learning verses. Some pupils study on the way to school. A few girls when washing dishes have the book on the table before them. One girl can memorize best while sewing. Another finds it easy to learn if read before going to bed at night. A boy likes to play with his dog between learning stanzas. Some people insist on quietness and seek remote places for their memorizing. Diiferent ways are used, for instance, some read the whole poem over and proceed to learn it line by line. Others take two lines and still others learn stanzas at a time. The rhythm of a poem often helps people to learn it. Memorizing is like many other nice things, for the more a person meinorizes the easier it is, and the more you know.--Compiled by Bradley Spencer. A Vocabulary A person's vocabulary means the number of words that he knows and can use correctly. Some people are familiar with only a few hundred words. Shakespeare used more than any other writer, for he had 15,000 words in his vocabulary. One object in studying English is to increase our vocabulary, then we will be able to ex- press ourselves better. There are many ways in which to increase one's vocabulary. A very common way is to look in the dictionary a-nd learn a new word every day. Other ways are by reading and listening to older people talk. One may also keep a note book in which to write definitions and sentences. Sentences with the longest word possible may be practiced Solving cross-word puzzles is another method of learning words. , A B7 was busily getting her lessons. When she came across the word gormandize her face took on a puzzled look. As she had to tell the item orally, she expected to be asked the menaing of the word. She got a dictionary and found that gormanclize meant eating greedily. Her face seemed to have a relieved expression. She had added a word to her vocabulary. She seemed to want to show off with the word. so she said to her sister at supper-time, You certainly are gormarndizingf' Her sister asker? her what she meant. She told her, and thus added a word to her sister's vocabulary.-Lenora Carson, Home Room '10, A8. LllllL1lLllLLLLL1,LL 1 L 1 YTYTYIYYWWVYYVYVY Punctuation Punctuation is very necessary, but many .people do not think so. You can tell that by listening to them read, or by reading their let- ters or themes. A sentence can have more than one meaningg all you -need to change is the punctuation. Probably the story of Mrs. Fiske and Miss Anglin ftwo of America's greatest actressesl can show you this. Mrs. Fiske went to call upon Miss Anglin, but found her out. So she left a note, which read, Mrs, Fiske says Miss Anglin is America's greatest actress. When Miss Anglin came back, she found the note, read it, then changed the punctuation, and sent it back to Mrs. Fiske as a com- pliment. This is how she changed it: Mrs Fiske, says Miss Anglin, is America's greatest actress. There is another story about two men who had a quarrel. One man called the other a liar. The insulted man said the offender ought to apologize for calling him that in public. After thinking it over, the man asked, How shall I apologize? Put it in the paper like this, said the so-called liar, I called you a liar, it is true, and I am sorry for it. The man agreed tol put it in just those words, but he punctuated it differently, so that it read thus: I called you a liar. It is true, and I am sorry for it. In all themes and letters you should be very careful in your punctu- ation, because punctuation comes next in importance to the correct spelling of words.--Compiled by Elma Hedberg, A8. The Story of My Life I fBy Math E. Maticsj When I was very little and started in the kindergatren, I was in the shape of colored papers and blocks that were placed on strings. Then I was promoted to the first grade in the form of One and One are Two, and things' of that sort. I tell you I was very puzzling to the little children. I-n the subtracting, multiplying, and dividing age, I was terrible, according to some peopIe's idea. As a fraction, the chil- dren wished I never lived. As a decimal I grew rich and poor by one turn of a pencil. In the Junior High School I was a trifle easier in the seventh grade, but I made up for it i-n the eighth. Then they. turned me into an alphabet-and of all the tests they made over me! But' I have led a useful life, as the following testimonials will tell: I ' ARI'I'l-IMETIC AS A HELPER IN PLAY Arithmetic helps me in my ball playing by finding the percentage of games we have won and lost, and my batting averages.

In baseball, I know how big to make the bases and how far apart, and in basketball how high to put the basket and how large to make the basket and where to put the outside lines.- Ralph Beck. HOW ARITHMETIC HELPS ME IN SHOP Arithmetic helps me many ways in shop. We have to know how to read the ruler which we use so ofte-n. We also have to make out our lumber bills, and one mistake might make adifference in dollars. One must know how to'set the shop machine. There are many numbers on the machine, and you must be able to set them correctly. ln the tin shop we are now making cookie cutters, a-nd have a great deal of measuring to do. ln the print shop one must do much measuring. A beginning printer learns to measure and space with accuracy. These different steps in the job demand a sort of mathematical brain. Many slugs and leads are to be measured and cut for the many jobs. There is a cutting machine by which all paper is cut, and this must be done accurately. HOW MATHEMATICS HELPS ME IN MECHANICAL DRAWING Mathematics is the key to mechanical drawing, because if there were no mathematics we could not do any drawing. You must know mathematics to use the scales on the triangular ruler and to figure out the dimensions on blue prints and blocks. There is no way you can draw a projection drawing unless you have studied mathematics, because you have to figure out dimen- sions on 30 and 40 degree lines. A mechanical draftsman has to be a very good mathematician, because when he draws plans of buildings and houses, he does all the figuring of the plan, and one little mistake on the part of the man drawim-' the plan would be very costly, and sometimes very danger- ous.-Ernest Brooks. MATHEMATICS AS A HELP TO HOME ECONOMY Miss Noble: Those who can draw a draft, please stand. QAII girls stand but onel.

Florence: The truth is, Miss Noble, I never have been taught to draw drafts. Miss Noble: Too bad! All these girls have learned to draw them, and can cut and make their princess slips with ease. Esther, will' you show Florence how to make a draft some day after school? Esther: Yes, Miss Noble. Miss Noble: Thank you, Esther, that's O. K. We shall now have some puzzle drafts. We will practice on a piece of material 16 inches lo-ng and 14 inches wide. Don't forget to leave six inches on the selvedge, and 2 inches from the bottom leave 2 inches more than that. Now, Esther, how are you going to cut? ' Esther: How long is the material down, Miss Noble? Miss Noble: You hnd that out for yourself. Take the yardstick and measure it. Now, how much isit? Esther: The width is 14 inches and the le-ngth 16 inches. Miss Noble: How much is that all around? You may do it on the blackboard. Before you do it, Esther, I want to ask a question. Estelle, how do you find the area of any square? Estelle: The length times the width. Miss Noble: All right. Now back to the begin-ning, Esther. How are you going to cut? Miss Noble: Correct. Now, Esther, how much is it all around? Esther: If it is measured from corner to corner it is 6X4 inches around. Esther: Let me see. The length of the material is 16 inches. I'll cut six inches from the selvedge for 14 inches, then the last two inches l'll cut eight inches from the selvedge. There now, it's done. Miss Noble: Very well done. You may take your seat now. Now, Florence, do you understand? Florence: Yes, ma'am, I understand now, and l'm sorry that I never learned drafting. Any way I never thought that it would help in sewing. Miss Noble: Yes, Florence, mathematics helps in nearly all sub- jects, and just where you think it won't help, is the place it does- Estelle Menacker, Johanna Kingry, and Esther Pressman.

Its importance has always been recognized, and much attention has been given to the teaching of spelling, particularly in the past. Everywhere you go you need to know how to spell correctly, no matter what you may he doing. With a knowledge of spelling one is ahle to read and write, and thus learn what is going' on in the world of art, music, science and literature. The small words which are used over and over again most fre- quently in the English language are often the ones which prove most puzzling. Just because words are small is no reason why they are easy. Spelling is not always an interesting' suhject, hut it is of such im- portance in life that it should he taught in all the schools of today.- Vera Clark, BO.

Useful Citizens HE ideal of every McKinley pupil is to be helpful to those about him, and to learn all the ways he can to be use- ful to the world in which he lives. There is not a pupil who has not given some thought to the many ways in which he lives. There is not a pupil who has not given some thought to the many ways in which he may at some time give service to the world in some kind of useful work. In an occupation class a vote was taken as to the occupations the pupils preferred and were looking for- ward to. The result showed a wide variety of chosen branches of work. They were as follows: authors, actors, and actresses, ball players, doctors, sailors, teachers, secretaries, mail cleks, newspaper reporters, singers, farmers, printers, missionaries, naturalists, chemists, and racing drivers. Some of these were expressed as follows: pq. . :gil 5.-.1 .

I should like to be a sailor and sail the seas. I think it is a very good occupation, because it is doing service for your country.

If I were to choose which place I wanted to go, I believe I would choose China, because what I have studied and read about China makes it seem a very interesting place.-Kathryn Ann Paul, B8. MANY PUPILS PRACTICE FOR FUTURE OCCUPATIONS There are many ways in which the pupils of McKinley learn how to be useful in the world. Besides the regular class rooms, there are many activities in which they take part which give them real practice in work leading to their life work, or at least to ways of making' money which will help them to prepare further for their life work. Some of these will be described. The Candy Store Candy should be eaten after a meal, and good candy should be eaten. 'I'o be assured that the pupils can secure good candy, McKin- ley a-nd many other schools have established stores of their own un- der the supervisions of teachers and run by students. In these stores wholesome bars and Eskimo pies are sold. May I have a Skeesix? Got any Two-Steps? H Please don't shove! Almond Whip? If you were to visit the girls' candy store I should L1lLLtlIfLLlLLlLLLLLs L, t1YJTfYY1mCTY?!'!,,Y!i LLL during the noon hour, you probably would hear the above conversa- tion carried on. 'This store is located under the bridge between the administration building and the south building, and is run by girls for girls. The boys' store is located in the Boys' Cafeteria and is run by girls, but for boys. ln each store one finds a display of almost every ki-nd of bar, in a glass case, with two girls behind to serve the patrons. A limit of one bar or Eskimo pie was set February 18, 1925. This was made because some boys and girls would spend all their money for candy and not eat a good lunch, which the cafeteria affords. The girls who work in the candy stores are appointed by Mrs. El- lert from the Commercial arithmetic classes, but they work under the direct supervision of Miss Gamble, who has charge of both stores. For their services they receive their lunch free of charge. The candy store work not only teaches the girls how to manage a store, but also teaches them salesmanship and gives them an op- portunity to take responsibility.-Bradley Spencer. The Book Store When you are in a hurry to go to your class, you suddenly remem- ber that you have no pencil or note-book. it just happens to be your luck that it is a test day, and if you have no pencil it will mean an E. What are you to do? Then you suddenly remember the Book Store. What a life saver? It is then into the Book Store you go, and here your needs are quickly tilled. Or if you want a belt you do not have to go down town to get it, but you can buy it in our own Book Store, and better than the ones down town, it will have the word McKinley nicely engraved upon the buckle. Two new shelves, which the girls appreciate very much, were pre- sented to the Book Store in February by the Board of Education. They are a great help to the girls who work there, and the girls en- joyed taking an invoice and filing the notebooks and papers on them. These Book Store managers have their own. system of taking care of this wonderful little store. The -number of articles and their prices are kept in a tall book called the Uday book. In another book the accounts of all the articles that come in and go out are kept. The accounts are added up at the end of the day. Each week the ac- counts are carefully looked over until they have found the total for the month. This book is called the journal. It is a great help to those who work there in preparing for their future life work. It gives them experience of how to manage a store. The work in the store is a part of commercial arithmetic, and it is .L-LLAJ..lL4LlLLsL.lALL.L TTTAYTTTYYT YTJYTATYY--Yjl regarded as an honor to be permitted to work there. The use of the adding machine and the cash register is very helpful to them. A store of this kind is a benetit to any school..-Anita Maes, A8. Advantages of Business Practice Debits, credits, assets, liabilities. This doubtless sounds to many of the pupils like a foreign language, but to the pupils who are study- ing bookkeeping under the supervision of Miss Whitacre, they are only the common terms used every day. We ''bookkeepers-to-be find the study of bookkeeping very advantageous to us in more ways than merely keeping account of the transactions in a journal and a ledger. The first thing and the most important thing about bookkeeping is to get the brain to working. That itself is a very valuable lesson. A system is needed here, and when we learn to do everything in a systematic way, we will find that all of our duties can be done more quickly and with more accuracy. In bookkeeping we learn to keep account of other people's income and expenses. This shows us the way to check up on ourselves. lf we write down everything we spend, I believe we would not be tempted to buy the little unnecessary things. This cultivates the thrift habit, and we know that success is due largely to thrift. Besides the work in bookkeeping, we learn many things about ottice practice. We learn how to care for the office tiles, how to use the telephone switcliliozii'dgg:lirnv to draw contracts, trust deeds, mortgages, deeds, notes, checks, and other papers which have to do with ordi- nary business practice. We learn many things about banking, and have a little bank of our own in which we practice. The pupils help in handling the student body funds, although this is done under care- ful supervision of teachers, for the sums are quite large, and very few of the pupils care to assume such large responsibilities. Many of the pupils who study bookkegping and the other forms of business practice at school tind it valuztble not only in their own atlairs, but in helping them in later life to 'earn a livi-ng. Some pupils have gone out from McKinley with nofmore knowledge of these things than one is able to get in school, and have bee-n able to get pgptukeijppaii opportunity to keep books for a business office.-Grace ALlLIlLlLslLLL...lLll.L L Y,YYTTTYY1mfYYYY'fTYYi Ll ALllL4lLlllLlLLlf1l I 711 111 vvv1fx4?Qr1'vtfYY'FW The Value of Typewriting After a pupil once becomes familiar with the keyboard of a type- writer it is only a matter of time and practice until he becomes a skillful typist. By typing the same words over and over, the location of each let- ter becomes fixed in the typistis mind. No matter how poor aspell- er he may be, a pupil who is studying typing will end by being an excellent speller. If one expects to find a first-class typing position, he must know spelling and punctuation thoroughly and be mentally alert. A pupil must be in earnest, he must have a certain goal i-n mind and put all his ellort upon his work. By constant repetition of a word, the nerves of the finger tips and the mi-nd become familiar with every letter on the keyboard. Besides perfecting one in spelling, typing teaches alertness, co-op- eration, and efficiency. Every typing stude-nt must keep pace with his fellow students if he wishes to succeed. Those qualifications are not only necessary in typing, they are also -necessary in the great hus- iness world outside.-Bernice Lucier. l-l. R. 39. Many Useful Things Learned in Shops Great pride is taken in something constructed by oneis self, in something which can he shown for the time put in. A mother or father is always proud of a tine piece of work, such as a foot-stool, a fern stand, a table, or some other convenient article made by the son. For the simple cost of the material alone such things can be made, and the knowledge of such construction acquired in the shops of McKinley. Very capable teachers instruct the work. In Shops 52 and 56. new desks have been installed. These desks l-ave been equipped with three different size chisels, and a hammer and a saw, all new. Piano benches, tahorets, mallets, tables, and similar things are made in 56. Before starting work on a new thing a neat, accurate plan must be drawn. Then a lumber bill is made out. No hammering on chisels is permitted. A mallet should be used. The boys are taught to save material. They must be able to take a plane apart and put it to- gether correctly. They are shown how to stain and shellac. When the bell rings, wood should be tied up neatly with every piece having its mvner's name on it. 4 'Shop 51 affords a knowledge of the use of machinery. ln it is a iointer. a circular saw, a jig saw, a band saw, and three turning lathes. A new circular saw and a six-foot turning lathe is expected to be run- Ll 1.1 fl L I Ls-jirjjl L LL lil L L F Lili Yffffffimffffffif - ., V' A Q'.-W ry' ,J M.

The auto shop has set its aim on cutting away surplus material to show the inside of the Ford motor and gears. The engine will not run on its own power, but by turning the crank the parts can be seen at their work. An understanding will thus be gained that otherwise could hardly be obtained. Mr. Brauer's wood shop has had a fad of making footstools and up- holstering them with either leather, tapestry, or velvet. Gilding is also done. E-nd tables are made, while shoe shining boxes appear at times. An imitation of a Zeppelin was made and is soon .to be col- ored silver, and hu-ng in the shops. Almost all things taught in these shops are useful in after life. Put- ting o-n a finish and painting things at home, repairing some plumb- ing. or fixing an autog making tables, fern boxes, and other handy things: knowing how to connect electricity a-nd make radios,-any or all of these things will help you to get a job any time you want it.- Bradley Spencer, A8. . The Journalism Department Probably one of the most useful departments in our School iS the journalism department. Without the pupils in these classes it would be practically impossible to publish our Trail each week. The great majority of the articles which appear are written by these students, for the amount of copy turned in by the rest of the school is compara- tively small. Besides being useful, the journalism classes are undoubtedly among the most interesting at McKinley. In addition to writing articles for The Trail, the journalism classes study newspapers, learn to read proof, and make dummies of The Trail. They also learn how to in- terview people and practice by interviewing our principals, 'teachers and visitors. During the B9 term. the young journalists spend mostof their' time in study, and write only the shorter articlesg but when the A9 term is reached, they have the opportunity. of becoming membersof 'The Trail staff, and all the longer and more important articles are Written by them. ' T ' Many of the students on The Trail- staff expect to make journalism their life work, and therefore they-study, is especially interesting to them. However, the study oft journalism is a great help to everyone, for it teaches the student to put down his thoughts in clear, concise English.-Winnifred Theed, A9. LLLLLJI-lLlLLLLLL1LL S rv1.,,:Lgvtv1fx4?Qg1 v v 'asv Y Printing at McKinley Printing means as much to McKinley as it does to any of the large newspaper companies or corporations. When a teacher wants some- thing printed she takes the job to Mr. Lewis, the printing instructor, and tells him what she wants. Mr. Lewis then says to one of the boys: Jimmie, this job is for Mrs. St. John. I have it all marked up for you. Be careful and line up your rules, or, he might say, Jack, Mr. Brown wants 1000 noon permits printed right away. Lock up the form, cut the stock out of 22Mx28M tan cardboard, then make the job ready and run them oft. Then the boys go ahead and set the jobs up and run them oii on the presses. The constant hum of the presses in the print shop is an indication of the great amount of work turned out by the Printers of McKinley. An example of a good form set up at McKinley was the one that Willie Scruggs, now a graduate, set up some time ago. His job was a two-color one of some blotters with the picture of Benjamin Frank- lin and the calendar with the month of January on it. When Willie Hrst started on this work he had to get a galley fa galley is a metal affair on which the jobs are assembledj and set his job on that. The job being a two-color one, Willie had to set up two formsg that is. the border and cut made one form and the inside made the second form. These two forms had to be run ot? on the press separatelv. once in brown ink and once in black. When the blotters were dry, they were distributed among the teachers and some of the students. The boys try to supply the faculty with new blotters each month, bearing the current month calendar. The teachers appreciate them. Another job quite different from the blotters was one made up for Miss Gamble for the book room. This job consisted of rules frules are brass objects with sharp tops which make the lines you sometimes see on printed jobsq This had to be run through the press twice and fed to a hair-line register because there were two kinds of rules, hori- zontal and vertical. The horizontal rules made one form and the LtLllLaJa..lLill4LLL,.LALL J- fTTTTTTTYimfTYT'TTTYY'l LllL1LllI -LLLLLLLLLLLLJ Wffflffiflfl vertical rules made the other. This is just one example of the hun- dred and one jobs our busy print shop turn out. The Purple and Gold, our an-nual, is another fine example of Mc- Kinley's good printing. All the work on the annual is done by the McKinley print shop, including the printing, embossing, binding and making of the covers. The cuts only are made outside. The print shop is a wonderful asset to the student-body life at Mc- Kinley, co-operating in putting over all the different events and as- sisting in the various activities. Cheerful Service is the slogan of NlcKinley's print shop. The printing classes are also important to our school because print- i-ng is a growing vocation, and many boys learn enough about it to be able to earn their living in a print shop. Many graduates from our school are now holding steady positions in some of Los Angeles' largest printing establishments. lf the teachers and the School Board had their work done by a private printing plant it would cost a large sum. Also if McKinley had The Trail, our school paper, printed by another school or in a pri- vate print shop, it would soon become too great an expense to con- tinue.-Edward Heil, A9, H. R. 43. The Value of Mechanical Drawing One of the ma-ny interesting subjects taught here at McKinley is mechanical drawing. In many cf the junior high schools this subject is not taught, so you see the boys of McKinley Junior High School are very fortunate. All of the engineering courses in senior high schools and colleges require mechanical drawing. lf a person could take an engineering course without mechanical drawing, he would be like an automobile without a steeri-ng gear. The boys who take mechanical drawing learn freehand and me- chanical lettering. After considerable practice, they can letter almost as fast as an ordinary writer can write. Of course some people can letter better tha-n others. They also learn to read blue-prints that are used in the shop.

Mr. Cassell, who is the teacher of mechanical drawing has some of the boys make blue-prints, and explains to them the action of the sun on the chemicals. Mechanical drawing here at McKinley is divided into two classes, architectural and machine drawing. ln the former the boys lear-n to draw house plans and in the latter they draw parts of machinery. As a whole, from the time they begin lettering to the time when they can draw the most intricate pla-ns, they find the work very inter- esting, and know it will always help them to make themselves useful. -James Parker, BQ.

Yet, as we think of it, we realize that some of the things we do at school will be more helpful, perhaps, in teaching us to use our leisure time. ln this section of our book, we are trying to show what we do to amuse ourselves. You will see that we readg that we talk and play together in groups, that we study the phenomena of life about usg that we draw and paint, and enjoy picturesg that we sing and enjoy the music of others, that we try to interpret our understanding of life in dramatic form: that we write to express what is within us. Pupils Express Themselves Socially 'That the social as well as the studious side of the school has been carried on during the pastq term has been proved at various times. Original and clever parties have been indulged in to celebrate ap- propriate occasio-ns by the different classes, and were the result of Careful planning on the part of those in charge. The parties given at I-lallowe'en were the first ones of the year, and were therefore very enthusiastically carried through. Several of the Home Rooms enjoyed their parties in unique costumes and a number of them had interesting programs. There were a few Thanksgiving parties also, but most of the the classes enjoyed all the more because they had made others happy classes merely had appropriate programs. Nearly all of the classes had Christmas parties, which many of through the sending of Christmas boxes to less fortunate childre-n. Perhaps of all the parties, those given for St. Valentine's Day were the most enioyable. Of, course, the main feature of these was the distribution of valentines, which had been collected in cleverly decorated boxes. The rooms were gaily festooned, and one almost sure factor of the refreshments was the little candy hearts with short, but sweet, messages on them. Easter eggs, both candy and real featured the Easter parties which took place in some of the rooms. ln several instances, the fun of the party was greatly increased by having another room participate. Room 1 showed their hospitality by entertaining Room 8 at their Hallowe'en party. Room 8 later llllllllglllllillll 'T TY'TffYY1fX?Qf'i'TYTT,T 1 Y returned the compliment by inviting Room 1 to their beautifully dec- orated room to share their Christmas party. Altogether, the past term has been a most successful one, speaking from a social point of view'.-Dorothy Nace. Relay Carnival for Girls on May Day lf a visitor had chanced to pass by McKinley on May Day, and had stopped at the girls' playground, he would have been impressed by the scene of gaiety a-nd good fellowship he saw there. All the girls were enjoying themselves either by yelling for their grade, or by watching the girls who were to partake in the coming races. The scene was colorful also. The teams of the different grades wore ribbons of colors which they had previously chosen for the oc- casion, and many of the spectators were adorned in the colors of their grade. Perhaps the race that was most entertaining was the obstacle race. It was very exciting and amusing. The girls looked very funny indeed, as they hopped along in gunny sacks. lt seemed as though they would never get through with all the maneuvers. It was a noisy scene too. Every girl was making as much noise as she possibly could, and as soon as some team became victorious, they were cheered wildly by their classmates. Many members of the faculty attended this gay event, and seemed to enjoy it quite as much as did the pupils. ln the chariot race, teachers were placed at the end of the field and the girls had to run around them. They were very inspiri-ng goals, and every girl ran her best to reach her teacher first. The races could have gone on forever and interest wouldn't have flagged, but the bell rang and the events had to stop. No one left the field without feeling that enjoyment had been full.-Melva Matthews. Libary is a Popular Place Our library, one of the most beautiful rooms in the school, is a pleasant retreat for many pupils who wish to enjoy and profit by their leisure time. It has a true library atmosphere, and easily offers inspiration to those who work and study there or merely read for en- tertai-nment. As we enter we see groups of boys reading and enjoying the many mechanical and technical magazines supplied. They are in- terested in the topics of the day, a-nd who knows but some of them may become the inventors of just such articles as they are reading about? L1 L.LlLLlL.lLLLLLLLLf'1 Y 1 l L.

Often there are exhibits of wild flowers, and many interested pupils come to enjoy the living specimens. Many girls enjoy the abundant books on home-making, and learn many useful and interesting arts from them. Pupils are scattered here and there using the many reference books for the morrow's lessons, and many are checking them out to use at home. Altogether, the average of tive hundred pupils who visit our library daily shows how much interest and appreciation it really receives.-Lillian Rosen, A9. 1 Use of The Library Three minutes after school is dismissed in the afternoon the line begins to form before the library desk. Ten minutes later and it reaches across the room. All the children are eager to get books, and it is only a short while before the library is filled. Every child should know how to get from the library the advantage it otiers. There are a few devices which help them to do so. The nrst a-nd most important is the card catalog which is arranged al- phabetically by author, title, and subject. By looking in the cata- log a child is able to find any hook we have. Each pupil should also know! how to use the Reader's Guide, which lists the articles in current magazines by subject. Cheerful aid to the pupils is given by the librarian and her assist- a-nts. If the children wish to Gnd a book, there is always someone ready to help them. ' Our school library is fitted especially for the use of the pupils and it is not necessary for them to go to the main library, for we have in our library almost any book you wish to find, both for school pur- poses and for pleasure reading.-Ava Anderson. T. Games in Spanish Enjoyed ln our Spanish classes we study hard on our regular lessons four days in the week so that on Friday we may be allowed to play a Spanish game. Sometimes we play a verb game, other times a word game. We have to be wide awake and alert so that we will not lose our cards by not remembering the right word or correct form of the verb. At the end of the term, the person having the most points receives a prize. Whe-n the roll is called. each pupil answers to his Spanish name by giving a Spanish proverb, The beginning classes are always ex- L4 I Llc.4..1lL..L.J-LLL LLL!-L1 1.1 ll' 1 ' +4 , - . 4 P 4 v- ' -4 r 4 P -4 F 4 P 4 r 4 4- -4 -4 ' -1 ' v Y H V -1 F -4 + -4 P -4 V -4 'F 4 V -4 L ' -A 'Y TYTTYYYWWVYYYYTTY cited to find that nearly everyone has a name in Spanish, and to hear themselves addressed as Carlos, Juan, Josehna, or Maria. We try to observe the important Spanish Hestas or holidays. On the sixteenth of September we discussed some of the heroic men of Mexico, and the struggles of that country for freedom. The second of May is an important date in Spanish history. In Spanish countries the sixth of January is celebrated by the giving of presents and by Nacimientos, or sets of little clay Hgures representing the, bringing of gifts to the child Jesus by the wise men. There was a Naci- miento or exhibit in one of the Spanish rooms at this time. About once a month we have special lessons which are very i-n- teresting. For example, we take a subject such as Mexico, South America, or Spanish music, and each pupil prepares a report and Gnds pictures or objects of interest to show before the class. Some of the topics presented on Spain were Romantic Spain, Spanish Festi- vals, A Tale of the Alhambra, taken from the books of Washington Irving, and many others. Mr. Halvorsen gave a talk to some of the classes one day. He described his travels in Spain and showed us photographs he had tak- en, as well as many beautiful pictures of the famous buildings, built by the Moors in Granada and Sevilla. The A9 class sent representatives to the Spanish contests in which the stude-nts of the whole city competed. At the first of these James Saputo and Audrey Schultz represented McKinley in a most credit- able manner. ln fact, Miss Wight heard one of the judges compli- ment James on his pronunciation and ask him from what school he came. They were presented with a beautifully illustrated copy of the great Spanish masterpiece, Don Quixote. In the second con- test James brought much honor to our school by ranking first in the city, and Josephine Locke added to this recognition by bringing home second honors. Johanna Ki-ngry, also of our school, received a rating which placed her highest among those given honorable mention. Some of the students working for enriched credit have made books from magazine covers which are colorful and full of action. The class selects one of the these pictures and prepares a talk about it. In these ways, and in many others, in our Spanish classes we are trying to make our work as practical and interesting as possible. We want to learn to speak the language in order to understand the people who speak it, and to be able to be understood if we travel, as manv of us hope to do.-Emma Delsasso and Audrey Schultz. - Y! l L1 1LlzLLll.LLLLLLLL1f1 -AL gl 'YTYTTYYY1 ffff f TYTYYI ' e ' 'Tf'.

In it are eight large tables to perform experiments on. lt surely is a well-equipped laboratory, for there is enough equip- ment, such as bunsen burners, flasks, beakers, ring-stands, etc., for thirty-two students to work independently. And it is much more pleasure to do the experiments yourself than to watch others do them. Pictures which accompany this article show some of the experi- ments in progress. In one of them we see Helen and Hilda perform- ing an experiment which shows the effect of heat upon water. After filling a flash with colored water, a rubber stopper and a long glass tube were inserted. This is to see how far the water rises. After the flash was prepared, it was placed over a bunsen burner. When the water began to heat, it rose in the tube, which was caused by the molecules being disturbed. These molecules are constantly moving about in the flask, hitting one another, making them take up more space. Although there is more volume, it weighs no more. ln another picture we see Oscar and Ervin, who have just con- structed a crude thermometer to observe the effect of heat and cold on mercury. Another picture illustrates what is known as osmosis, or the passing of a liquid passing through the egg shell. Another shows the interest of other pupils in the study of plant life. If more students of McKinley knew the pleasure derived from science, we know that the new science room which is to be equipped in the new building would not hold all the pupils who would elect to study the subiect, for the things o-ne learns are interesting not onlv at school, but at home and wherever one meets the things we deal with in everyday life.-Helen Graham, Hilda Marsman, Oscar Sokol, Ervin Frauenhoff. Art and Future Artists The art classes have had many interesting problems this year, and the instructors have hopes of many good artists. There have been classes in designing, freehand drawing, water color work, and perspective art. They have made lampshades that were very artis- tic, and which were made from parchment paper purchased in China- town. Some of these classes had charge of the small trinkets for Y 1 ll1LLLllLLLLLLLLf1 -Ll Y 'YYTTYYYTKNQQVTYY-TTY? Joseph,'l such as fans, shields, bracelets, and small parts for the costumes. Other classes have been interested in freehand lettering, and have made many posters to advertise the plays and other happenings of our school life. Not the least interesting work of the pupils in the art classes has been the work on the stage sets for the many plays which have been given during the school year. The designs for the puppet play, Z7 '7 Q ' .,x 3 Lig. g Q V- .. .-. runs? 31 y X HOOKIN 1 ' X 'QQ 1... ' gli, 9 5 s . f . If rf -. a, 0 vm 4 ' - : 1 'M ' 1. 1 w Gfr -L1 , We new ' f 5 . A---Q V 6 p .

While, of course, the wood work for all this was made in the shops, the designs were made by the pupils in the art classes. That the pupils enjoy expressing their ideas in drawing may be illustrated by the response which was made to the call for cartoons to show the danger of hopping rides from passing automobiles. These were drawn without instruction and were wholly voluntary on the part of the pupils entering the contest. Among the many car- toons which were entered, that of Everett Wantland won first prize. The work done by the pupils for the Purple and Gold needs no comment. lt speaks for itself. Credit is given for this on other pages.-Leona Kitchen, A9. s Y L I illllllxgllllllillll L I TTT 'f f f,1pMf,T Y Y 'Y T'm1' Y Seek the Heights P - Of course you have noticed the new book plate on the first page of the Purple and Gold, but did you read its meaning? lf you will look at it closely, you will see what it resembles. A path leads to a steep hill, where you must go up and up until the top has been reached. You must Seek the Heights. The Trail leads ever upward through pleasant places, with reward just over the hill. This, you see, is the motto of our school, which is illustrated by our school paper, and now again by the book plate which has been prepared for us. This drawing was made by Dorothy Brundige, of the class of W'25, who deserves our thanks and appreciation.-Leona Kitchen. Music Hath Charms . Everyone has leisure time, but many do not know how to use it. Not only useful subjects are taught in school to be used in the busi- ness world, but also ways to use one's leisure time in amusing one's self. One of the most popular of these is music. Much interesting work has been done in the music classes this past term. The A9 classes have been doing sight-reading, chorus work, and have learned how to transpose pieces best suited for their voices. They have studied all forms of secular and sacred mu- sic, using victrola records as illustrations. They have studied famous pianists and violinists. Recently a record of the t'New World Sym- phony was purchased by the school, and is used by all classes. The A8's are studying elementary theory with sight-reading, chor- us work, and some appreciation of artists and composers. The A7's have simple drills, some sight-reading, chorus work, and opera stories, which are very interesting. All the grades have musical pro- grams directed under appointed committees from their own rooms. Besides the work of the regular classes, there are three important musical organizations which add greatly to the life of the school and the enjoyment of our days together. At least once each term they join in giving to the school a musical treat, playing and sing- ing for us their choicest numbers. The whole school looks forward toithese concerts, and all are proud of the talent displayed.-Lucille Lawso-n. THE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club meets twice a week, and under the direction of Miss Adler has many happy hours together.

No play on our auditorium stage seems com- plete without a chorus of voices from this club. THE BOYS' GLEE CLUB The Boys' Glee Club is supervised by Mrs. Netz, and they have worked hard during the past year, singing at many performances. They have learned to acquire ease in appearing before an audience, and have developed their voices until they harmonize very pleasant- ly. The boys have gained the exponent of e after their marks by coming more than three times a week. Most of the boys are A9's, and it is with regret that these enthusiastic members must leave in June. THE ORCHESTRA The orchestra deserves much credit for their loyalty during the past year. At assemblies they have played for the pupils to march to and from the auditorium, which always adds to the pleasure of the passing. Beautiful selections were played for the entertainment of the pupils during the changing of scenes at every performance. The part of the orchestra at e-ntertainments, especially those given by the Music Department at Thanksgiving and at Easter, is of marked value, and is much appreciated by the student-body and the faculty. MUSIC Music is the dearest thing, when the notes float by, Oh, I just love to sing that sweet lullaby, Music is the dearest thing, for it seems to say, 'Dear little children will be happy all the day. -Sapphire Jones.

All the World is a Stage Every pupil in McKinley enjoys a play, whether he is in the audi- ence enjoying the performance of others, or whether he is himself before the footlights showing what he thinks others feel.

THE TRUE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT The last day of school before Christmas vacation was a happy one at McKinley. The true spirit of Christmas was successfully brought home to Mcliinleyites, for besides the many contributions which were made to the poor, the B9 Dramatics class give a picturesque little playlet. It was entitled The Christmas Guest, and repre- sented the sixteenth century. The theme of the play was of a Yuletide long ago when a poorly dressed and hungry beggar accepted the hospitality of a more for- tunate family, and afterwards proved to be the Christmas Angel. A prologue and an epilogue were given to create the right atmos- phere for the presentation of the play. The players were: Prologue and Epilogue ......... ..........e.....

' NICKINLEY SEES KING TUT One of the most unique plays given during the past term, and one representing the most work from the vocational classes was Some- thing Differentf' representing in much detail, life and customs of ancient Egypt. This was a puppet play presented by members of the A9 dramatics class on the afternoon of March 5 and the evening of March 6. ' The preparation of the speaking parts was supervised bv Mrs. Bartlett, but there was much more to presenting the play than that-. The puppets were made i-n the shops, and their garments were made under the direction of Mrs. Gurnee in her classesi One of the most riitlicult parts of the presentation was the wpilfI- ing of the puppets, which was done very skillfully by members of Mrs. Gurnee's classes. A picture of these puppetteers in action appears on another page of this book. as well as the two views of the play itself which accompany this article. The play was all the more appreciated because of the fact that ie1.4.1.1114.CL4144LLcuaxxar L 1 Fl4LLlLlL,lLLLLL 1LL 711 iff-A-T,ff1fy4?irvvtvvvFW , V, ,.

Esther Pressman, Estelle Menacher, Johanna Kingry, Hilda Gustafson, Eva Yanofsky, and Zipporah Luleff composed the play with the helpful assistance of Mrs. Bartlett. Better Speech Week Two unusual plays were presented in celebration ot Better Speech Week by the dramatics classes. The Downfall of Poor Speech was given by the A9's to the pupils of the lower grades. The atmosphere of this play was ot lords and ladies, and Poor Speech seemed entirely out of place in their midst. To the higher grades the B9's presented The Trial of the Hobo, Bad English, which was very amusing. There was a real court scene, with a judge, witnesses, a jury, and a very competent baililt, who made the witnesses swear impressively, So help me Good English. Although both these plays were highly imaginative and out of the realm of possibility, nobody wanted to take them literally, and everyo-ne enjoyed the lessons they presented. Qver The Fence Interest in Clean-Up Week was greatly stimulated by the presen- tation of an interesting play entitled Over the Fence. This play was given free of charge by members of the A9 dramatics class, and was pronounced a great success by those who had the privilege of seeing it. The play was in three scenes, and was typical of modern life. Everybody enjoyed seeing junk piles and tinl can alleys come to lite, and all approved of the way they were routed at the end of the play.

Joseph, the Interpreter, will be one of the largest and best plays McKinley has ever had. There are to be forty-four maidens, eight soldiers, and forty other characters, all of which are taken by stu- dents who enjoy dramatics. The success of this play will be due to the co-operation of the students and the teachers. Some of the diiferent departments that will help to make it a success are: the art, the sewing, the music, the printing, the gymnasium, the shops, and the library. The drawing classes made the designs for the costumes, head dresses, a-nklets, bracelets, shields, and other accessories. The sewing department is making the cotumes. The library is furnishing new books and pictures. The music department is helping by studying the old Jew- ish and Egyptian music. The print shop printed the play. The girls' gym is furnishing thirty-two girls for the drills. The girls keep the rhythm with cymbals. The movements in these drills have been sug- gested by the old Egyptian monuments. All the scenery to be used is being made in our own shopsg such 215, the pit, the background of old Egyptian architecture, the throne and Joseph's dwelling. The commercial students have charge of the tickets and the money. SYNOPSIS OF THE PLAY. Scene 1. Joseph's brothers conspire against him and sell him to the traveling lslnnaelites. CThere is much discussion as to wheth- er a real live camel will be used to carry Joseph away, and pupils are wondering if it will break the stage. They are also anxious to see howithe blinding foot-lights will affect the cameli Scene 2. A most beautiful home of Potiphar is seen, with the magicians performing mysterious tricks, and the maidens having a frolic with fancy colored balls. They are accompanied by the ancient music of the flute. Joseph offends the wife of Potiphar and is put in. prison by his master. 15 QV Lllsllllilllillllll 'L 7 Y4TYTTYYY1WfTT,fl Y1YY1 ll lLllA4I 1LllLLLLlLLLJ rf1vvvevvv1fx?Qr1vvvfr1'fv3 Scene 3.

Then let's be grateful for these things With all the fun Thangskiving brings. YYYYT.TTYY1WifTYY??.,9eJ7 Lost in the Woods Oh, that was a terrible day when I was lost in the woods. I shall never forget it! I went up to the Boy Scout Camp to take a test. It was track- ing. The examiner made a trail withs ticks and sto-nes for about a mile. I had to follow this trail until I found the Scoutmaster. I gave the Scoutmaster about fifteen minutes start and then follow- ed his trail. At first itg was easy, but after walking quite ja while I lost track. I became frightened and started to yell. I ran back and forth and yelled until I was tired. I sat down and tried to keep cool. I had read in my Scout book that when a person is lost he should keep cool, because camp may be nearer than he thinks it is. I could signal to the camp with smoke! Hardly hadyl thought of this when I immediately took out some matches which I kept in a lit- tle tifn box. They had been dipped in wax so that if they fell into the water they would not be spoiled. I took a bunch of leaves and made three little hills with them. I cleared away all other things, so I would noir start a, forest fire. Then I took a match and lit all three piles. They almost instantly started on fire, and I had to feed 'them with leaves from time to time. The thick black smoke curled up into the air and I was sure the Boy Scouts would see thislsig'-nal and come to my aid. I was right. For, about half an hour later five boys came tramping through the bushes to me. It was the first time I was so very glad to see them. lwent back to camp and you may be sure I did not venture far from it that day.-Sol Pollock, A7. My Experience with Radios One day I decided to make a radio. In shop the next day I start- ed to make a one-tube set. After I had finished it, I took it home. After three days of trying, I decided it would not work. I then decided to cha-nge it into a two-tube set. When this was fin- ished I took it home, but it would not work either. Then I thought I would have the batteries tested, which I did, and found them run down. I bought new, batteries, and the set worked. If I had only known it was the batteries, I could have made my one- tube set work.-Gerald Sollinger, A7.

I'd like to go a-iishing with Mike and big black Tom, But l gotta watch my little baby brother John, 'Cause mother's gone to town to do some shopping for us all, Witli Mrs. Hill and Aunt Kate and good old Mrs. Jones, And I'd like to be a good hoyg but fishing's in my bo11es. I can hear big Tom a-calling that the fish will always bite In the evening after Sundown when the western sky is light. You may try as hard as you can, when the day is nice and. bright, To catch them on your fishing hook, but they simply will not bite. Big Tom knows almost everything about the birds and trees, He used to live 'way down South where the corn waves in the breeze. But when l ask him why they made a fellow's brother small, I-le just rolls his big black eyes and laughs and laughs, that's all. , But what's the use of thinking of new ways to catch the lish, When everything's against a fellow's wish? lt'll be too late when ma gets home to find the pool, And then, tomorrow, don't you know, I gotta go to school. MYSTERIOUS SPOOKS CLucille Lawson, A9.J I see things in a different light. On Hallowe'en night, The streets are not filled with girls and boys But picture book people and all kinds of toys, There are hobgohlins and ghosts and many a fairy, And people with faces so-o-o--scary! They go out on the streets in this dark night, And scare folks into a terrible fright. They dance around witches' eanldrons a-boiling, Singing enchantments until bells begin toiling. Then away with a dash and a flash they go, From where they came no one seems to know. But the sandinan on his regular round Puts each ghost and fairy to sleep very soundg They will not be seen, until a year from now, When they will come forth again with a trip and a bow. LLLIILLILLLILLLQLLLL YYYTTYYY1 I-:YY'fiY,:i.Y Achilles Modernized Although our family has undergone many amusing incidents which we. like to recount, -there is one, that never fails to atlord us a good laugh. When we lived in the country, there was a bee hive in a deserted pasture near our house. Every spring my father made an expedition to the hive and raided the store of honey which it contai-ned. One morning, he was made ready for his annual assault. He was dressed in some old mechanic jumpers tied,at the sleeves and trouser legs, gloves, and high topped shoes. On his head was an old straw hat over which he had throw-n some mosquito netting to protect his face. As you have probably guessed, he was dressed strictly for pro- tection against the bees, and not for appearance. He presented a comical sight as he strode across the field, swinging a kettle on his arm. The rest oil the family stayed at a safe distance from the tield of battle, but where we could watch the fun. We saw my father reach his hand confidently into the box and bring it out with a huge comb of honey. While the angry bees swarmed around him, vainly striving to find an unprotected spot, he. again i-n- serted his hand. As he was about to withdraw it for the second time, he let forth a loud yell, and, dropping his kettle of honey, made several flying leaus toward us. When he had reached a safe distance from the hive and we had suc- ceeded in calming him down sufiiciently, we found that one of the bees had stung him squarely on his Hpet corn. Like Achilles of old, he had but one protected spot on his person, fbut his was on his corn instead of on his heel,J as he had cut a hole in his shoe to relieve the pain caused by the corn. The bees had, of course, chosen just that spot to sting. But It's an ill wind that blows good, as thee saying goes-Father's corn was cured!-Dorothy Nace. MY MISHAP P O E M IBY Annie Palll.

Prob- ably that was because there were so few places there to burn. The town' had only a small number of stores, but quite enough to serve the 500 inhabitants. However, a station had lately made its appear- a-nce by the railroad track, and one train actually condescended to stop there for awhile if it was not in any particular hurry. It was is no particular hurry one sultry afternoon in August, and it stopped-but that is not what l wished to tell you. The train was just rolling lazily out of the station of Elsie, whe-n the news was broadcast, Fire! Fire! in the new depot! Elsie wrung its hands in consternation and called upon its fire de- partment fwhich co-nsisted of one stationj for help. There were no firemen, only volunteers from the town, and the firehouse was locked. A Mr. Travers had charge of the key, which, by the way, had grown rusty with disuse, but upon inquiry it was learned that Nlr. Travers had gone away for the day. After a frantic, but vain, search for the key to the fire-house, the men succeeded in breaking down the door with an axe. 'Some of the men jumped up the'Gre-engine, but it refused to budge an inch. After many frenzied efforts to start the machine, some one discov- ered that there was no gas in the tank. I-lavi-ng no service station near by, some of the men ran to their homes and drained the tanks of their various cars in order to scrape together enough for the engine. Finally, the five-engine was ready to go, and it tore down the street, making more noise than progress. The depot, or rather the remains of the depot, were reached eventually, just in time for the men to see the last flames flickering out. This all happened many' years ago, and another depot now stands in the place of the unfortunate one, and a more efficient Ere-depart ment answers calls of fire with much more haste and effect than did the one on that lazy afternoon.-Maxine Leonard, A9.

They show things that have been made at school and at home. The pupils learn how to make these things at school, then they make them at home to beautify the home and to give away as gifts. As you see, in sewing the girls learn to make their clothes, and all kinds of beautiful things such as lamps, rugs, dresses, scarfs, luncheon sets, caps, hats, and all the little things that brighten up the home. ' In the cooking classes the girls learn to make all kinds of whole- some foods and fancy dishes, which leads up to cafeteria work as well as to cooking in the home. In the reed shop the boys learn to make things such as are seen in the pictures. Reed work is very attractive in the home, and makes lovely gifts. The boy in one of the pictures has a little reed shop of his own in his yard. In his shop he makes tables, chairs, bird cages. stools. haskets, and vases to sell or to give to his friends. 5,3j+. ?

Hilda served her dinner to eight a-nd each person signed her Home Meal Report. Here are some of their comments. Hilda is very quick and active in her cooking. Her Cooking is good and she is a splendid cake-maker. MRS. R. Since Service Sister joined the stall of cooks our household word is We want more. Your former pupil, B--. If mv daughter could spell. read and write a-nd excel in arithmetic as she does in Foods mv worries would he at an end. I am in hopes that Hilda will take cooking again in the ninth grade. HER MOTHER. Good Sewing is Important My friend took sewing at school. She also made many things at home. All her teachers remarked how well Emma did her sew- ing, All her clothes were very nice. A After she finished school she had to work, and couldn't pay much money for clothes. Having kept her sewing up, she could make her own dresses. Every time she wore a new dress, everyone thought she had bought it. Her friends were much surprised when they learned that she made them herself. They declared that she sewed wonderfully. She wouldn't he ahle to make her own dresses if she hadn't kept her sewing up. Some girls who take sewing in school neglect, when they leave, to pay attention to the sewing that has to be done. Unless you know how to sew, you will have to pay much money for nice clothes. So keep your sewing up, girls.-E. R., 139. Many Beautiful Pieces of Reed Made at McKinley For the past three years l have had the pleasure of working in the Reed Shop. As a B7 l remember my struggles with my first piece, a small basket. Little did l think then that l would become so fond of the work that in my A9 term l would be maki-ng a large table at school, and also would have a small work shop at home to make useful presents for friends and relatives. I would not he ahle to make these things if l had not worked 811114111-ALILLLLXLL Lf fYT.TTTYYY1mfYYYf1Y1YYI ' .kffi . . LjllA1llLlL lLLLL LLLlLLJLJ TTTTTYYY1rMTYJYf'TYfW'i hard at school. l found out that one can not go i-nto the reed shop and make anything he wishes, but has to begin on the small things and work up to the large ones. Perhaps it would be interesting to those who are not familiar with the reed shop to know just what it is we do there. First, we con- struct hardwood' dowels, the framework of the piece of furniture we are to weave. This is really the most difficult part of the process. Then the weaving with reed begins. The reed must be soaked in water to make it soft and pliahle. When it dries, it is hard and Hrm. Care must be taken to keep all weaving straight a-nd accurate. lf anyone should ask me if reed work is easy, l would say it is not easy in the sense of doing it off-hand. One has to be patient. lt certainly trains one to be exacting and careful-Roby Cooper, A9, H. R. 21. A Busy Day in Shop 54 Mr. McConnell's shop is a very interesting place to the boys who wish to learn trades or to help keep the home in order. ln one cor- ner of the room is the frame work of a two-story house, which is used in the project of house-wiring. A little farther over, the boys are working on repairing' shoes. At the benches are the boys who are making radios and motors, either for themselves or for the teachers. The house-wiring project is useful in many ways. Many different things often happen to the electric wiring at home, and perhaps there is no one to tix it except the boy. lf he has studied the house-wiring at school, it is little trouble tor him to take care of it. He thus saves trouble and perhaps much money. Other boys who have taken shoe repairing save much money and time by repairing their own shoes. The radios made in the shop by the boys are frequently tested and give much satisfaction and pleasure to the owner. Crescents, stars, diamonds, and heart cookie cutters are also made in shop by the boys. These are used by mother at home to make those delicious cookies to satisfy her young manufacturer's appetite. The motors are used to run windmills and other smaller things. When the first bell rings, the boys put their work in the lockers. When the second bell ings, some one is heard to say, 1 wish this period were an hour longer. --Sam Schwab, H. R. 48. 111111111-llllllllfl YYYiYTYYY1fxz?illYvv1f? The Crigin of Reed Work Probably the first person to make a basket was a man of the pre- historic Stone Age. One day he saw, while climbing around the cliffs, an eagle's nest, and thinking it a good plaything for his little boys, took it home. His wife, upon seeing it, thought how fine it would be in which to keep some cocoanuts which she had just gath- ered. So the little boys did not have a plaything after all. This basket lasted for a while, but it wore out, so-we will call her Mrs. Cave Woman,-said to her husband, Tiger Tooth, this basket has worn out, I will have to have another. You go out and get one. Now Tiger Tooth tramped all day over the ragged cliffs, and jumped over roaring torrents, but he was unable to find one. After he had given an account of his hunting, his wife said she must have one any way. So she sat down and thought and thought. Finally, she hit upon a plan. Tiger Tooth, she cried, go out and gather all the small twigs and bark you can find. A short time passed and Tiger Tooth came back with some twi,Q's and bark. Mrs. Cave Woman set to work and in the course of a week there on her rock table sat me first basket ever made by human hands.-Andrew Madson and Melvin Underwood. Of course this basket was not nearly so fine as the splendid reed work turned out bv Mrs- Turner's classes, but everything had to have a beginning, didn't it?

T he McKinley Print Shop Festivities The iirst real event of these A9's as a class was Kid Day. which was the manner in which they celebrated the merry times of Hal- lowe'en. Boys and girls appeared as lads and lassies, with socks and hows and dolls and tops and all-day suckers. The air was Hlled with the cries of the mama'i dolls and with the whistles which the boys kept constantly going: Parties were held in class rooms the sixth LILLJIP-LLALLLLLLLLL L Ff1'T.YTTfYYifX?iY'YTff'fgYYfQ l ALx1144lLLL4LL4LLr111 fTTTTIYYY1WqfY1YiY1YYl Lllllllil-l'L4LllLLLLLLl UATTYTTYYY1WifTYYffWYf1 l llLlLl 4llll.LlLLL1K 1'l! ftYYTTYYYiWiVTYYt-iT1Y.Il period, and Miss Trowbridge took pictures, some of which are printed in htis section of the Purple and Gold. ' The A9's and the boys' and girls' physical training teachers played a game of volleyball on Tuesday of the last week of the term. Al- though the faculty won, the A95 put up a wonderful fight. Of course the teachers were about three times the size of the A9's they chose to play against. Mr. Brown let his Presence be known by going into the game aboue five minutes before the bell rang. He put the finish- ing touches to the game by making about twenty points. The faculty should appreciate Mr. Brown's help and co-operation. Perhaps they did.-R. K. and R. H., A9's. Field Day . Field Day was an exciting time for the A9's aswell as the B9's. The four yell leaders of the A9's did well in carrying out their yells, which the l39's answered in very good echoes. It seemed very long before the teams started their play, but when the spectators were be- coming restless an exciting thing happened, for right out on the ground came the A9's goat.'l Just how and where the B9's had got the goat it has never been divulged. But there it was, a full- grown black goat with long horns which were carefully arrayed in the A9 colors. On it was placed a sign painted with large black letters which read, We've got your goat. After it had been lead past the A9's for their approval, it was taken home, much to its relief. Then the games began. Baseball by the boys and baseball by the girls, basketball by both of them, volleyballg and a llnal tug-of-war, i-n which the boys showed great strength. We are sorry not to be able to give more details of the dillerent plays and games, but the accompanying pictures may re- call them to your minds. ln averaging up the games and counting points, it was announced that the B9's were victorious, although the A9's had not been com- pletely snowed under. This ended the Field Day of W'25 which proved to be great fun for all.-Emma and Martha Delsasso. 1111111-LLLLLLLLLLL L QTTTTTfYY1fMV1YYYfTYY! llLLLL l1L..LLlLlL L1 LL 1'Ll fvT vYvvvv1fxGirfvvtv1t K4 1- . ij: : ,ii FAH +4 QA!!

The girls were dressed in black, and assembled in the gym room. The boys, although not in the procession, wore black ties, and black bands around their left arms. The occasion was a very sad one for the A9's, especially when Mr. Brown, who left a meeting for the ceremony, arrived with a roll of black crepe paper and a hand towel. The black paper was to show that he was also mourning, and the towel he used continually while showing his ability to cry. V7 hen asked how he felt, he answered: 'LI have a stream in my eyes, a fall in my voice, a wave in my hair, a spring in my knee, a cataract in my brain, and a creek in my neck. Altogether they make an ocean in my head. The sermon, which was written by Lueile Lawson, was delivered by Irma Woehler from a dictionary. It was as follows: 'LI now stand before you in behalf of the A9 class to perform a ceremony which will make a lasting im' pression upon the minds and feelings of these superfluous young p:ople. Now. if in delivering this harangue, I may take the time for expressing this wish, I will do so. I desire my assembled hearers to remain exceedingly quiet during my preliminary oration. I will now begin. To our chief, Mr. Brown, to members of the learned profession, and to the studious characters of McKinley, I wish to say that on Friday, March 27, 1925, Little Kid Day was quickly hurled from the brains of the A9's. This was such a calamity and sudden shock that at 12 :Ol o'elock that afternoon the news was spread that Kid Day was dead. Dear Little Kid Day, you are three years old today. Your merry laughter is no more. fA9's crying together, 'Boo-hool' The casket, which was made by Pearl Crum, was lined with black, and 'LLittle Kid Day was covered with white carnations. Mr. Brown very kind' ly consented to leave the casket in the main office during the rest of the day, where it was viewed by many passersfby. M1'. Brown and many teachers, to' gether with the pupils of the lower grades, considered it a very iine joke, but did not notice the long faces of the A9's during the rest of that day.-Lucile Lawson, A9.

On a gnarled old limb a nest he could see, And he looked for a stone or a club. Then he said to his mother, If I just had a stone, I know I could knock that nest downg But the mother said, No, that'S the little bird's home: You just leave the stones on the ground. Suppose, my dear, that when we returned home, Our own nest in ruins should beg The nest above is the little birds' home, And they'll need it until they can Hy. You must remember, my boy, ne'er to do Unto others what y0u'd not have them do to you.

To us she was as a. friend so dear So loving and helpful to allg She was always willing to help those in woe, And served alike both great and small. We'll remember her as a friend so kind Who advised us with council sage, And showed us that which we prize so much, That in doing right only, should we engage.
