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.

One day after vacation when We were A7's Miss .Hobart, .our Home Room teacher, had a surprise for us. This was that we were to have a room inithe new Science Building. , , Now that we are B8's we are still domiciled in this lovely 1'oo1n, and are proud to say that it is still in fine condition. , Ever sincewe were B7's we have been' an aspiring -class. We have been trying for the Thrift Banner, and now we have itqindefinitely. We have held -first place in spelling and hope 'to keep it. In the English test we ranked third, almost tieing for second place, and in the fu- ture tests we hope to win firstplace. 'In English we have organized a literary club which meets every' Friday. In this club we are privileged to develop our talents for poetry, recitation, and essay writing. -' ' 2 Nor are we lacking in honors. . One of our number, Ramell LaC0uer won a scolarship as an A7, and two others, Seymour Levenburg' and Rose Stone were on the honor roll after ithe first ten weeks as B8's. We' also have an attendance campaign, to maintain our regular at- tendance.
