HOME ROOM TWENTY . ., Home Room 20 is fitted up for a history class room, and we are very much interested in the pictures and maps used in the history classes. Our home room teacher, Mrs. Erickson, teaches history and citi- zenship, and she has helped all the Af7's to make a creed. We met in the auditorium where we had an opportunity to say what our class should have for an aim. Then we studied other creeds, and each A7 home room decided what it wanted. Mrs. Erickson put the ideas together, and then called a meeting of the presidents of all the home rooms. Mr. Brown and the vice-princi- pals met with us, and they approved of the work of the A7 students- First We determined OU1' goal, and all agreed that it should be Succe.ss . Then we decided upon the qualities that make for Success which may be developed in our school life. One of our home room boys, Gail Stimson, suggested that we draw a picture of steps leading to Success, and write on these sqteps the qualities We need in order to climb to our goal. Two other boys in our room, Julius Mitchell and Halaria Ramas, drew the picture. They have ihe doors to Success open, and a light above 'the doors to guide the A7's to their goal. The light sayfs Education , and rays of light shine down to help A7's understand whalt each step really means. The first step is Obedience to Law. This means there are laws governing our body, mind, and spirit. We want to be obedient to the laws of health, train our minds, and become useful citizens. The light of Education will show us the way, and our first step to- ward Success will be to obey the laws. The other steps we are climb ing are Honesty, Cleanliness, Kindness, Courtesy, Fair-Play, Industry, Thrift, Self Control, Trustworthiness, Loyalty, and Service. When we are older We will probably make a still better creed. -Lucille Smith., A 7.

To be true Americans we must develop qualities that make for- good citizen- ship. We are striving to grow into manhood and womanhood with all the ideals that are highest and best. Our motto is Play the game fairly and squarely , and We all try to live up to it.

We also had a program committee whose duty it was fto plan programs for the club. The A7 officers were: president, Billy Clauderg vice-president, Dorothy Duggang and secretary, Mildred McQuillan.
