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.

.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!

V Q This is Radio HR15, broadcasting from McKinley Junior High School. The pro- yxrnm will be announced by Mrs. Tornquist, the regular announcer for this station. The first speaker on the program is Od,ssa Garrett, talking on the aims of H. R. 15. We aim to be true Mcliinleyites, to make our room the best in the school, to obey the rules, and to cooperate with our teachers. Miss Ophelialu. Williams is now at the microphone. The BT's of Radio Station H. R. 15 are a happy and cheerful lot. They want to play fair and square in the game of Education, and they hope to be winners, so they may be a credit to their school station, and to the chief announcer, Mr. Brown. Aurclia Daniels will now favor us with zu few remarks. We are trying our best to be loved by all the teachers of McKinley. We are willing to work hard to prove to them that we are the rrost industrious B7's in the whole school. We rank second now in mathematics, and we are hoping soon to rank first. The next number is a monofog by Julian Ellis. When we started this station in February, 1926, we were afraid to move, but we are rapidly overcoming our timidity. We selected as our oflicers the following: president, Eloise Johnson: sec- retary, Thelma Turner: and treasurar, Anna Dunham. This is the first program this station has offered, but we trust it will he but the beginning of many successful ones to be presented during the time we spend at McKinley. The concluding number will be a poem, Give US Girls , selected from an ex- change, and recited by Mary Lee Moore. As this station is composed entirly of girls, the poem is especially npporpriate. Give us girls, Girls whose love is in sport, Fresh, frce and frank- Girls of thought and reading, Girls of power in leading- The nution's welfare spreading, Girls of faith and not fiction, Girls of lofty aim in playing- Give us girls to play the game- Give us GIRLS. Radio HR15, McKinley Junior High School, is now signing off until the next issue of The Purple and Gold. '
