HOME ROOM ONE .iii Home Room 1 is a small class, and all girls. We try to have a nice friendly spirit among' the members of our class, and try to im- prove ourselves with Miss Alvarez's help. Our motto: Act always so the teachers and the other children will respect us. We gain respect by being honest, telling the truth, having lady-like conduct, doing well in our studies, being reliable at all times, being pleasant and happy, and always willing to serve our school. We did not like to study when we first came to McKinley. We did not know how. Now we are interested in our work and can spend the whole sixth period studying on our lessons. One of the aims of our room is to do our work so well that there will be no failures in any subjects. We will be B9's next September and we know that we will have to sit in an A8 room if we fail in even one subject. Miss Alvarez had a dream in which every one of us had to sit in A8 rooms as we all failed in a subject, so she had the only home room in the school wifh no pupils. We do not want her dream to come true so we are studying harder then ever. Our class room oflicers are: president, Violet Phillipsg vice- president, Clara Johnsong treasurer, Mayme Dunng Trail manager, Clara J ohnsong Trail reporter, Regina Cukierska.-Regina Cnlcierskca.

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.

. .... ... HOME ROOM FIVE The Sunshine Club was organized by the girls of Home Room 5, and it is all that its name implies. The meetings are conducted by the officers who are elected by the members. 'Ihe programs are varied and have proved both educational and en- iertaining. We have our social and literary programs and again we have devoted the time to an old-time spelling match, or even a test in English, mathematics, or social science. Ordinarily, these tests would lie considered hard work, but in the spirit of rivalry and fun, we have combined work with play and found it sport. Any subjfect beneficial to the students, and pertaining to the school, has been discussed here. This has given us a better conception of our duties and has enabled us to give loyal support to our school. That we are loyal McKinleyites is proved by the fact that nine out of our small class of twenty-five students are doing extra work for our beloved school. For sev-eral months we worked under the disadvantage of having many different substitute teachers, but at our own re- quest Mr. Brown made Us a Christmas present of Mrs. Myrick. We greatly appreciate the fact that we have been allowed to keep her. The days at McKinley are all foo short, but time cannot erase from our memory the happy hours spent there, nor the benefits derived from the Sunshine Club.-Mcwgie Morrin. A9. We smile to the happy, we smile to the sad. We smile to the Hood and we smile to the bad, We smile when the sun shines- we smile when it rains, We smi'e and we smile till we smile away pains. Our mission in life is to bring cheer to all, To drive away sadness, and joy lo install, T ' 'd t th . th 'k cl ih l n give ai o e weary, e sic , an .e ODE. And by brightening their lives. to bring Joy to our own,
