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.

-1,-.- HOME ROOM TWELVE B'7's though we are, we cherish the thoughtof beingMcKinleyites, and try in each and every way to be true and loyal to our school. We came to McKinley from many SCDUOIS and were given a hearty greeting by our principal, Mr. Brown, and our new teachers. And with the welcome given us by all the boys and girls, we were not strangers long. We hope to greet the newcomers next term as heartily as we were greeted. We are a happy and enthusiastic group and have developed a surprising amount of school spirit during our brief stay at McKinley. We are nearly one hundred per- cent for the Trail and season tickets. All who are subscribers for the Trail have said it is the best twenty-five cent school paper printed. In ordzr to conduct a better classroom and carry on activities in the school, we decided to have a. class organization, dividing the duties among the officers and committees. A good selection was made by choosing Noel Haynes, president: Anna Owen, vize-president: William Hicks, secretary, and Alberta Anderson, treasurer. They have served us well. Among the various activities we are composing a book called, Character and Conduct. 'Ihnre are twelve virtues we are striving for in order to make us better Mcliinleyites as well as good citizens. We observe one rule each week and try om' best to live up to it. Class Room .12 has already won the reputation of being an industrious group and we hope throughout our three years' stay at McKinley that we can retain this honor and lie an example for other newcomers.
