Most of the boys in Home Room 31 Are chaps that like a lot of fun. We're only boys in this room, but one- This one our teacher, who Likes us more than she used to, We used to he quite rowdy and rough. But never were what you might call tough. We liked bo romp and madly run As every scrub has always done. But all this happened in the hall Where all the teachers used to call, Come hack and try it over, son! And try to walk instead of run, Arithmetic is an awful' thing Especially when we'd like to sing! 'lfhe day may be long :ind perhnpsphof: But still we boys aresa happy lot. In English, Work jgakes: the pliiie' of O ' fun. T2 We read and write, .till our work is done. 1 The next period is great! Then we may run a race, This makes us warm, and gives color to the face. After this we go to shop Where we hammer, saw, and knock. The next period over, we go to lunch Where we have a chance to sit down with the bunch. Then we have our home room once more Where there's no time to think life a bore. For at our teacher's stern command We use our brains to beat the band. Home room teachers seem so cross But after all they're not. If if weren't for our teachers We'd he an awful lot! -Warren Edmon ds.

H OME RO O M FORTY-FIVE We, the pupils of Home Room 45, are proud of all our boys and girls. We have many 'things to tell you, and the first is about our officers. Our president is Fannie Levine, and our other officers are as follows: vice-president, Carl Gallardog secretary, Jean Zippig treasurer, Violet Schaefferg book store representative, Agnes Mc- Laren. We also have a very efiicient pencil monitor, Aaron Isaac. We are A8's now, and hope we can stay wifth our present class- mates until we are lofty A9's. We are sorry that there are a few of our members you can't see in the class picture: Louise Critch- field, Ethel DeCuir, Agnes McLaren, Zailda Palmer, Willis Hunter, Aaron Isaac, and Grant Slater. Our club consists of many jolly pupils, It is named The Sixth Period Jolly Workers . We also have a motto, Citizenship- Our Aim . At present, we have two honor pupils, Sarah Weitz and Mary Hooksg we are hoping to have several more by the end of the term. We are proud that our room supplied two boys for the opcretta, Aaron Isaac and Grant Slater. ,Ever since we came to McKinley as B7's, we have had good times together. This year we have had three parties, One was a New Year's party, another was on Valentine' day, when each pupil received several valentines. On Hallowe'en, Miss Craig' seventh grade class invited our home room with Miss Whitacre's ninth grade class to a party in Room 24. All enjoyed this occasion very much. Our class tries to follow a systematic plan of helping one another during our many sixth periods together, We have shown the McKinley spirit during our two years here, and we hope to keep it up unftil we leave our beloved school, after which time we will endeavor to prove our- selves true McKinleyites.
