. .... ... 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,

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.

HOME ROOM FIFTY-ONE We, the pupils of Home Room 51, are very proud of our room in the Science Build- ing, where we have sunshine all day long. Our B7 and A7 terms were spent in the old bungalows, but we have had this pleasant room during the BS and A8 terms. Our teacher, Mr. Moores, brings insects, plants, and animals to our room, and his Science Dllllils also add to the interesting collection all through the term. Every term from the time we were B'Z's to the present, we have chosen officers for the class club. The officers this term are as follows: president, Jack Asaroi secretary, Lucy Denino: treasurer, Alice Spurgeon: Trail manager, Bernice Darms: and Trail reporter. Miriam Haas. Our meetings are held every Tuesday at which time we discuss matters of interest to the class. The chairman of the party com- mittee is Eugene Lockridge, and he chose as members of the committee: Lorina Sanserino, Mary Spencer, Louise Bertolotto, Fred Contreras, and Hyman Sedloif. The class has also chosen captains for the two sides of our attendance contest. The captains are Jack Asaro and Miriam Haas. Miriam's side is so far in the lead that everyone expects them to win. The losing side will have to give the winning side a party at the end of the term. We were 1002, for the term tickets both this term and last, and hope to keep up this record by being 100W for the Trail, the Purple and Gold, and any other publications the school may have while we are here.
