.5 HOME ROOM TWENTY-SIX Although Home Room 26 is a B7 class, we have made a pretty fine start in the right direction. We are proud of the fact that our room was 10015, both for the trail and the season tickets. We have decided to use as our motto One Hundred Percent in Everything . It may not be possible at all times to keep our grades up to this standard, but having this as an aim will inspire us to work harder. We can also aim to become 10092, in all school activites, and perhaps we may become 100W American citizens. It is said Not failure, but low aim is crime : hence we are aiming high, and trust we will not fail. Our officers are as follows: president, Alfred Lang vice-president, Isadore Kaplan: secretary, Irving Parker. When we say push , you pull!

-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.

HOME RGOM THIRTY-SEVEN , V The members of Home Room 37 have taken as their example the ever busy and industrious ant, a sage little creature, indeed. The ant toils from the first peep of spring until the close of fall, and from early morning light until the coming of night to prepare for the needs of the future. We do well to follow, this example, and store up knowl- edge while we are in the springtime of life, so we may have something to draw on when school days are over.. The method the ant uses in his work is also worthy of following. He does his work bit by bit, and stores his food crumb by crumb, and there is no loafing on the job. We must make each day count for something accomplished, even though it be only a small task, for in this way we build the ladder by which we rise from the lowly earth to the vaulted skies. We have two members who have already shown that they are the right kind of workers, and they were awarded with A's in all their studies. These successful workers are Tirossie Blanchard and Mary Terada. We are proud of these members of our room, and we all want to try for the same high record. Our room is organized, and the officers are: president, James Jordeng vice-president, Norma McFarland, secretary, Genevieve Mc- Dowell. Our mo-tto is When you do a thing, do it well. We will surely become good McKinleyites if we live up to this motto, and always remember the lesson the busy little ant teaches us. The cmt's life is a lesson, the moral is good, If you live without fzvorlc, you 'must live without food.
