HOME ROOM, THIRTY The Young Americans is the name of the club in Home Room 30. We have had this club ever since we emtered McKinley. We are now B8's and we hope to keep our club until we leave this school. The name means that we all try to be true Americans like the people who fought for our independence in the early colonial, times. 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. The officers for our B7 term were: president, Kermit Walkerg vice-president, Donothy Duggan 3 secretary, Dorothy Wismar. 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. Our present B8 officers are: president, Harold Jones: vice-pres- ident, Jack Firmg secretary, Eleanor Moran: and we also have a pro- gram committee. We are proud of our two members on the Board of Control, Con- suelo Rivera and Billy Clauder. We hope there will be some one from our room on the Board cf Control as long as we are in McKinley. We also hope to keep our hundred percent record in all school activities. We stand for loyalty, good citizenship, truthfulness, cleanli- ness, and trustworth1ness.- Mildred McQuillfm and Elemzor Mowm. Home Room Thirty is the place Where everyone helps set the pace. VVe always 'ry to do thu: best. And ever aim to beat the rest. We always try to P'ay the Game, And if we lose, we'll try again.
