'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

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.
