he purple anim gdb Foreword TY PWWHIT E have featured in this issue of The Purple and , ju? l Gold the home rooms of our school As the R i vt 'Q unit in school life There ale probably more actl vities and interests centered around the home room than any other place in the school. As every family has its own in- dividual characteristics, so also each home room is distinct- ive and different from any other. The members of each unit are like the members of one large family, and as such, share each others joys' and sorrows. The spirit of brotherly and sisterly love prevails in the home rooms, and When one member of this family is honored the whole room feels the pride that would be felt in the pupil's own home. This book, therefore, is really a home room issue, featur- ing the organizations, activities, and pictures of the differ- ent rooms. We have also endeavored to honor our A9 girls and boys who are leaving McKinley tolcontinue storing up knowledge and improving their intellects for their life work. We trust that they will always carry on , and never weary of the struggle to Seek the Heights . The members of the Trail staff are also worthy of men- tion because of their untiring efforts to make their school paper worth while. They have done consistently good Work on the Trail, and have worked faithfully on the special edi- tions, such as the Wail and the Literary Editions. The same staff also contributes their best efforts to this issue of The Purple and Gold .-Kathryn Ritchie, B9. K 7 1 , 5, ,, .

The McKinley Trail Staff The members of the Trail staff have endeavered to live up to The Trail Platform in their management of the McKinley school paper during the past semester. They have aimed each week not only to publish a paper containing news of the school, but also to make that paper the voice of the students, through which the ideals of McKinley might be expressed. The spirit of the Trail staff is not selfish. Those who help to get it out receive no reward except for the joy of their work and the honor of their positions. The highest ambitions of the Trail staff are em- bodied in their platform: To stimulate the Spirit of Brotherhoodg To uige Courtesyg To uplift the Truthg To promote the Love of the Reautifulg To encourage Economy: -and To further School Activites. The motto of McKinley is Seek the Heights , and to uphold that ideal the Trail workers have striven. How well they have succeeded may be judged only by the approval of their readers, whom the mem- bers of the staff hope they have pleased.
