- HOME ROOM ELEVEN QL! The members of Home Room 11 consider themselves fortunate in having such a pleasant room for their home. It is an art room, and is prettily decorated in gray and orange. The flowers and pictures also add to the attracgiveness of the room, and our teacher, Miss Clapp, does all she can to keep the atmosphere cheerful for us. Our aim is to carry out the art of the hand, the art of the head, and the art of the heart. We believe if our hands are busy, brains active, and our hearts are seeking to do kind deeds, we will be doing our bit towards adding to the McKinley spirit. Our room is organized into a club, the officers of which are as follows: president, Carl Langley, treasurer, Margaret Wert, Trail repcrter, lJoro,hy Meyers. The club exisls for the purpose of entertain- ments, and for the good we can do our fellow students. NVe pay a small amount each week as dues. and the money is used to buy flow- ers for the sick, and to help pay for the parties we give. This year we have enjoyed parties at Christmas time, Hal1owe'en, and on Valentine's Day. We are proud of some of the members of our room who have taken part in school activities. Margaret Wert, a citizen-scholarship ping Edward Sovinski is stag-e manager for the school, and Libero Lavezzi is on the Traffic Squad. Service is the motto of our room, and as William Wadsworth puts it. Small service 'is time service while it lasts, Of humblest friends, lrrfight 0?'6U,t7.Ul'G! scorn not ones: The clcnisy, by the sliczvclow that it casts, , Protects the Iivzgefring dewclrop from the sim.

HOME ROOM FOURTEEN Since our entrance to McKinley as B7's when we were .told fairy stories of roof gardens and elevators. we have learned much, but we still have much to learn. The pupils of Home Room 14 stand for honesty, loyalty, courtesy, and thrift. We have a pleasant room which we try to keep clean and neat, and we have a home room teacher who is deeply interested in us and willing to help us when we need help. On our blackboard we have a deportment chart on which is kept a record of our conduct. The room is divided into teams, and the team which has the highest record in conduct at the end of the week has its banner hung: up in the front of the room. We get special gold marks if we do a kind or very thoughtful deed: a red mark if we are thrifty and deposit money in our home room bank: and we are given a green mark if we read stories in any of our classes when we should be studying or if we receive library notices for overdue books. Most of the time we are hon- est enough to put these marks after our names ourselves. We like this merit system because it he'ps Lis to improve our conduct. On Monday we study Conduct and Manners, and we have learned how to act in the auditorium, in the street car, and at the table. We sometimes have plays Un Fridays we have our home room meetings, parties, and pleasure reading. We have a reading club in our room and we exchange books of our own. Many of us have hobbies like collecting stamps, coins, minerals, pictures- and studying birds and animals. We have a home room bank, and every day we try to save a little, instead spending our money foolishly on candy. VVe have learned many thrift rhymes and have written some ourselves. Clyde Martin is our president: Anna Weichsl, vice-president, Rudolph Wilson and Bobby Yoakam, our bankers: Lois Mullins, our Trail reporter and William Scanlan, Trail manager. We are loyal to our home room and to our teachers, and we hope we can improve a little each day we are at McKinley.-Milton Klein and James Lu Valle, AT.
