Trail Manager As pupils of Home Room 6 we are proud to say, even though we have been at McKinley only one year, that We have the real McKinley spirit. We are Seeking the Heights, and are sure to find them as we have made a very good start. The record of Room Six is as follows: Last semester, two scholarship certificates, two scholarship pins, and three certificates for school service were awarded, also our room captured the Thrift Banner for almost half the term. Charles Ander- son, former representative of the Board of Control, came from this room. Six girls took part in the operetta, a number of girls were chosen as squad leaders in gymnasium, and one of our boys is on the traffic squad. Among our social times were Hallowe'en and a Valentine party- At Christmas time, ins ead of having a party for ourselves, we joined Room 3 in providing Christmas gifts for 'two needy families. In the spring, we went on a picnic to Griffith Park and those who were pres- ent did not regret their going. We have enjoyed working with Miss Durfy, our class teacher, and with our other teachers who have helped us through difficulties and shared our victories. So here's to Room 6, and may we push on to greater heights next year for the honor of ou1' school.-Sara. Cline.

HOME ROOM 'FORTY Besetting Sin-Talking. Greatest Virtue-Good Nature. Our Teacher's greatest problem-How to get us up to standard. Our Teacher's greatest worry--Our inaccuracy. Our chief aim-How to skim over our work as quickly as possible. Our greatest joy-To get IOOCQY in anything at any time. Ultimately,-we feel sure we will graduate as credits to the school and as honors to our class. ' ln spite of our besotting sin, and what was referred to as our chief aim, we are making considerable progress in overcoming our shortcomings. All the members have signed a pledge card, and we are striving to keep our pledge. Some of the ideals in- cluded in the pledge are: not to talk in nor out of the home room unless absolutely necessary: never to criticize a person behind his back: to use no foul language: to tell the truth always: to keep our lockers and our room neat: to refrain from using cosmetics: io concentrate on our studies, and to have no story books near until our work is finished. This pledge was written by a committee selected from the members of the room, and all were willing to sign it, and to try to live up to what it embodies. We have races between the girls and boys in attendance, neatness, speed, spelling, and scholarship. VVe watch our report cards to see who wins. This makes keen com- petition and all arc eager to do their best. Our officers are: Shirley Denos, president: Lois Deinert, vice-president: Joseph Mills, secretary: and Helen Myers, treasurer. Home Room 40 is flying fast- It's running' at a fearful speed: Everyone tries to be on time- Te Work,--To Win, this is our creed.
