HOME ROOM FIFTY Home Room 50 which has a distinction of being one of the boys' class rooms of McKinley, has made a name for itself in many ways, but it has scored especially high in the track meet. All the boys in the class room who took part carried away some points. Wilbur Triggs tied the school record in 'the '75-yard dash in 8.5 seconds. Willie Mingleton, better known as Ming, of Class Room 50, won the high-jump in the track meet between the B8's and A8's. He jumped 5 feet, 3 inches. He also ran the 50-yard dash in the track meet.

i....1..---,,..-..l.- HOME ROOM FOR,TeY,.lHREE .,...- . f . ' l- When we first came to McKinley as B7's we were greeted as scrubs VVe didn't mind that, because it is the title given to all new- ,comers and even the mighty seniors were at one time scrubs After being more or less ini-tiated into the school, we found our ,way to the auditorium, where we where introduced to Mrs. Struthers and Mr. Brown. After staying a while in the library, we were conducted to our new home room. It did not take us long to become aquainted with our surroundings, and with our teacher, Miss Brode, who has been with us ever since, and whom we hope to keep as long as we are in McKinley. . - ' , I The motto of our home room is Work to win, to conquer, and to master. Our officers larez Mary Giordano, president: Victoria Rice, vice-presiclentg Angelina Sutera, secretaryg and Rosa Canson, treas- urer. On Fridays we enjoy courtesy plays, thrift programs, or class meetings. ' . ' - ' A We also have a Camp Fire group in connection with our home room. Among our many enjoyable times together, was the hike to Little Griffith Park and Arroyo Seco which will long be remembered. At the first Council fire held at our guardians home, three of our members, Ada Bell Rivers, Grace Hubbard, and Isabel Cordero, received National Honorsf We were all proud of these girls. At the second Council fire meeting held at the home of Victoria Rice, Miss McGee, one of the leading guardians, initiated Onedia Williams into the First Rank. Then at the last meeting which was held at the home of Margaret Jones, Victoria Rice and Ada Bell Rivers received their First ,Rank also. Our organization encourages us to think of others. ,.Wh6H'01f1' members are sick, we send flowers, letters, and various other things to help them pass away the long hours. At Christmas time we dress- ed dolls for the General Hospital. We find much happiness in striv- ing to make others happy.-Mu'rgcm'et Jones. - '
