A .17 HOME ROOM THREE Home Room 3 has a group of boys Who have the right spirit to- ward both their school and their teachers. We are all 'trying to make ours the best room in the school. Day by day we are doing little things that may mean big things later for our group of boys. We try to keep our room neat and clean. When we go to our lockers, we go quietly so we will not disturb anyone. We try to be kind to each other and to Mrs. Youngs, our home room teacher. We want to be good, and we study hard so we can be promoted to higher grades. We are glad to be here and we Want to do our best in every way. When we Hrst came to McKinley this term we did not know each other, nor did we know how to behave in junior high school, but now we are getting better every day and hoping to improve our school. We are all interested in our work and hope to become good Mc- Kinleyites.-Rccleigh Pratt, Edward Levy, and Harolcl Manners. We are building our future, and as the poet Glenn Ward Dresbach has expressed tlte thought so well, We quote from his poem, The Builder : How great will be the thifng that he builds? Not quite so great als his dreams ai-re g-rautg Not quite so high as his hopes are high. A1141 long he must build and wait. But the glory is, if he builds what he cfm, That all the while he -is IJ'll'l:ZlZ'i'I'1g a MAN.
