Our Civic League

Th e Girl's Viewpoint

Could anything give us such a thrill as to see a motor boat ~kim gracefully over the \\·ater to victory? The motor boat must have a mornr in order to run, " hich if not carefully looked over, will not do its best \\ ork and may even completely fail to function. One of the things that helps u to attain s ucce ss and reach our goal i , good health.

The motor boat mu s t have a pilot to guide it over the rough places so it mar \\·in the race. Our parents and teacher 5 a re the kind and l ov ing pil o t s " h o guide u along the right path. We should help our pilots by doin g the right things becau e th ey sacrifice so much for our ,Hlfare.

I feel that the girls mu st try and get acquainted " ith o ur new g irls. Friendship is a chain of gold. Every girl \\ e get acquainted with is a I:nk in our golden chain of friendship.

On our color day \\ ·e wear the green and bla c k , and in di s playin g these color. \\·e grow in loyalty to our school. ·

I think the Civic League h a5 played an important part in all the school activities. It has made the boys and girls feel their re s p o n s ibilitie s m o re keenly. The officers of the Civic League ,Har badges on " hich i - engraved "C ivic Leagu e" and a numb er. These badge show that the person " ·ho wears o ne ha s au th ority over us. Our Civic League is a small gove rnment run on the 5ca le of our national go , ernment. "\V e hav e our Pr esident, Vice Pr esident, Secretary, Cabinet , a nd Delegate s as our K ational Government ha s We have definite la\\·s " hich ,H must obev in o rder to be tru e member s of the Ci v ic League. The voting in o ur H orne R oo 1~1 s prepares u s for th e time when we can legally vote for our city, s tate or nation. It teache s u s the va lue of th e good-will and felllm ·, hip of our c itiz e n s and h e lp . u s feel th e respon , ibility of o ur 1ational G ove rnment and our school gove rnm e nt m ore acutely.

THE GREE LEAF

Hobbies

vVhen the taff member visited the home room of the building they found among the lower grades pupils who spent mo t of their lei ure time on a hobby.

Lucille Young of 30~ has found out that the art of making Ao" er come ea y to her. About a year ago he originated a design for ro es and later he clipped an article from a magazine explaining ho"· to make carnatiom. ince then she has been rece:ving help from other people. Lucille makes her Rowers for pleasure only.

Malcolm Gabel, one of our mall 7B's , and Sidney De,ny, a gA, have been pending their leisure time in cartooning and drawing and both soon hope to become a second Oz Black. l\!Ialcolm ha taken art lesson at the niver ity for one emester and he found it has helped him very much. Making poster for uch entertainment and organizations as the Clinton Pet and Hobby ho"· and the W. C. T. are among his many achievements. The city re,rnrded him with a silver Eversharp pencil and he also received a 10.00 prize in a tate conte t.

Sidney ha had no training along this line, but this does not prevent him from earning prizes. The Lincoln tar and the Lincoln Theater have both h o nored him.

On the oppo ite page, under Sidney' picture, you will find a pen portrait of 1r. Culler which he drew, u ing Mr. uller' picture as a model. Compare it with any picture of Mr. uller an .i decide for your elf what idney ' future hold a an arti t.

He al o painted the cener) for th is year's operetta a well a the igns you've

seen about adverti ing it. This and his ,rnrk on the Green Leaf staff ha~ kept idney unusually busy his last seme ter at Whittier.

Glady \ Vi e ha intere ted herself in embroidery and nothing can separate her and her pillow top . Glady ha\Yorked , carfs, pillo"· , spreads, and to,Yel . They are o nicely done that he has found a market for her goods.

Franklin l\Ieier i the proud om1er of a , ·e rr un ique tamp collection. l any people have collectio n s like this, but none could excel Franklin'

Allan Co" ley and Everett Hawthorne are both "·hittlers They ,Yhittle airplane and have hopes ,Yhich are Aying higher every day. They expect some day to fa hion a " pirit of St. Louis" for Rex Carr and P hillis Bross.

Delmar \Vorral of 1 IO kindly permitted u to use a picture of him and ~is bow and arrow to show people ,vhat a "big man" can do. Making bo"· and arrow is his hobby and he is ju tly proud of it.

By hi picture any one would think that Glen Elliot " ·as a \ Vorld \ Var Veteran , but he in ' t, he jut collect · army souvenirs. In his collection are canteen , hat , gun , and all the paraphernalia of " ar.

Robert lvi cN erney's hobb y canng for and riding hor e It eem that he loves hor es and enjoy riding very much.

This would be a mo t fitting place to give honorable mention to the boy " ho de igned the cover for thi year' Green Leaf. It " ·as made in Mi Beard ley's III period Drawing and De ign cla s by Herbert Block, one of the bo) from our gA Promotion Clas s

The Whittier News

The class "·hich prepared the material for the Whittier Tews in the pat year has been confronted by various condit:ons which did not face previous ews classes. These included the more frequent publication of the ews and the setting of the type by hand in the shop

The class studied regular English and did the literary reading required in ninth grade , but ne\\ s-writing took t he place of composition The members of the class \\ ere d:vided into groups, each of which prepared a feature of the paper such a perscnals, sports, jokes, etc. Some topics required only one person t o handle t hem, some more than one. These pupils \\ ere responsible for all news on their assignment. The rough copy of their ,nite - up \Yas corrected and then copied in ink and checked again. The copy was then typewritten and re-checked, after which it was sent down t o the sh o p. Galley proof, or a printed copy of the • item, on rough paper, was sent back to the N e,Ys clas in duplicate, one copy to be corrected for error in printing and sent back to the shop, and the other to be retained by the New class for t he dummy . This dummy \\ as an old copy of the e\\·s "·ith galley proof pa ted wherever t he item was to appear in t he next is ue. Last of all, there were the headline to be prepared, each line of which could contain not less than fourteen or more than seven t een letters It was quite a task t o prepare t hese ati factorily.

The boys in the printing clas "·ho handled the N e,\·s were chosen from the best members of the advanced printing classes . Previous to the last school year all t ype for the paper had been set by a commercial company This year the boy e t the type by hand instead The pages ,nre run off t\\ o at a t ime, the inside pages first and then the outside Then the papers \\·ere folded and ready to be distributed t o the home

Culler, of Miss Hult , and of all our classmates. \ ,Ve shall often think of the offices thev held; of the class song ,n sang, and of our favorite studies, and even more of the assemblies Mr. Culler planned for us.

Perhaps our class day " ·ith the colors of pink and green is the outstanding event of the years we spent in \Vhitt ie r. vVe kno"· " e shall look back through the years to the day " hen we graduated from our beloved junior hi g h school. \ Ve shall ahvavs rememb er what Whittier ha s done fo~ us, and onlv hope that others will appre.:iatc 1th~ kindne ss of l\lr.

To the 9A's

Three years ago they ,nre Freshies green, \ Vith elevator rides their only dream , But it only took time for them to see That they were victims of nine A' tee hee.

The second year they advanced a step. And their greenness was changed to lots of pep,

"

Oh, shucks," says they, we ' re eight B's no,v, And those nine A 's are the cat's meow .

But now they have reached the e nd of this lane , And are those nine A's who before " ·e re a pain;

Ther are happy and proud and full of life ,

\Vhat better backing will they ne ed 111 the strife?

-Martha Thomas, 8A

There are songs that make you happy , There are songs that make you sad, But the songs of \Vhittier High Schooi Are th e so ng that make yo u glad.

J.I SIES

S\net little velvet _ faces Peeping from under the ground Bringing us Heavenly graces For \Yhich you're given renown.

Dear little faces so tender, So modest, retiring , and sweet; To each and all of us render Happiness most complete.

-Margaret Test, 8A

A S PRI NG DAY

The buds of the trees are bursting out. The squirrels are jumping and running about

Delicate flo,nrs rn modest and S\\ eet, Are blooming on every roadside and tr eet.

Children are playing ,Yith faces aglow, As the sun shines bright and the breezes blow.

All th rough the day , bird cheerily sing , As twigs for their nest they patiently bring.

Butterflie flutter here and there, As if delighted to do their share.

All voice on the air do ring , To tell us ' ti s a day of spring.

-Verna Baker, 8A

EASTER FLOWERS

Mama counts the lilie fair , The Easter lilie sweet.

" Every one has blossomed out , " J o hnny hears her oft repeat.

And now comes Papa, hat in han d ' T·~ full from rim to cro\, n ,

' ot " ith Easter eggs, oh, no; But ,vith ,vhite and yellow down.

J ohnnv look s with eager eye , And then begin to shout:

" lama! Come , oh , come and ee ! All the e a-g s have blos somed out! "

-Doris C oc hran, 8A

THE GARDEX

I passed before her garden gate; he s tood among her ro e , And stooped a little from the tate In which her heart repose s, To make her flo,nrs a graceful plea For luring and delaying me.

" When blossom fade so oon , " She aid " ith " inning weetne s,

" "\ Vho doe ~ not " ear the badge of June Lacks something of completene s.

l\1y garden " elcome you today , Come in and gather while you may."

JACK \VOX HIS GA~IE

Jack Betts trudged \\·earih · home from the sma ll ervice station i.n which he earned a living for himself and hi young " i fe , Anne.

"A nn e has been o cheerful since the night I told her "·e could not go to th e game I kn o,,· ·he " ·as terriblv disappointed , though. " Thi s " ·as on·e o f the many thou g hts he had on the " ay home.

He knew that if ther ,nnt he would have to miss a pa_rmen ·t on their pretty little white house.

Anne m e t him at the door. Her face n ·as fairly radiant as she cried, "Jack, \Ye can go to the Armr-N avy game!"

"But Anne, how? The se are not the days of fairy godmothers you know." '

" Oh, I knon ," he ansn-ered, "But they are the days of economy. I have been pinching the budget ever since that night you said "·e could not go I saved t\\ enty dollars out of this month' household allo,nnce That will buv our tickets ," she ended proudly.

"Anne, , ou are a born economi t ," excla imed Jack as he ki sed her. " I thought th e meals ,nre ge tting slimmer and limmer."

That night Jack ,note a letter saving that he " ished to purchase t,;-o Army -N av_r football game tickets.

In a few days he received a lett er which he opened with a hopeful heart. His face fell , for instead of the two ticket s he had expected, a letter was enclo ed. The writer regretted that he could not procure tickets for Jack, but they ,nre all gone and he could find n o body who wished to sell theirs.

Jack crumpled the letter and threw it into the ,ra te ' ba ket. He had lost all hope.

He picked up the paper and read several thing . before hi . eye. fell up o n this headline: " Pre s ident Cannot Attend Game. " Th e article stated that be-

ca use of pres~ing official bu iness Pr eside nt and l\I rs. Coolidge could not attend the Ari11y - N avy football game, alth o u g h the tickets had already been purchased.

"D )ll h h o you sup po e-. t oug t Jack. _For a full minute he sat thinking, n 1th a half smile on his face.

" Xo harm in trying an_.,, ,-ay," he stated finally.

So he wrote a very courteous lett er to the Pre ' ident, asking him if he would not ell him hi s tickets for the Arnw:N avy g~me. He enclosed t,nnty d~llar~, re g istered the letter and sent it.

He kne"· that that was a rather queer thing to do , but it " as done now and the President couldn't any more than refuse.

That evening he told Anne of the letter he had received, but he did not tell her of th e one he had ,nitten.

Anne wa s truly disappointed thi s t ime. but she smiled and said it was all right.

Two evenings later Anne met Jack at the door \Yith a letter in her hand.

" J ack, you have a letter from the W hite House," she exclaimed excitedly. " Open it quickly!"

Jack took it with a slightly haking hand. He held the envelope to the li g ~t , " hich revealed a folded piece of " h1te paper in ide.

" Probably only a polite letter of regret," he thought bitterh .

But when he opened · it two tickets fell, from a perfectly plain piece of paper. with no writing on it whatever.

Anne pounced upon them and cried "Why, Jack, how did you happen t~ get those tickets from the White House?"

Then Jack told her the whole s tory , o mittin g nothing.

The young couple were not certain that the ticket s came from the P re ident, but th er had their tick e t s. rn. " h:-1t cl id they care?

Last year, iYhen on a gyp "y tour sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. at Ottumwa , ,n took a trip th rough the \Iammoth cave.

I ,ms first impressed by a huge opening " hich narro" ed dm, n to such a degree that th ere was room for but one person to pass through at a time.

Upon entering the cave, I "·as next impressed by its greatnes and by the peculiar objects on the "·alls and ceiling, cut out by the "·aters that flowed through it years ago.

These peculiar objects looked like snakes and ,rnuld rather frighten you as you ,rnuld look up at the ceiling, until one of the guides ,rnuld tell you that they ,nre only stone.

A DREAM

For a fe"· minutes I lay perfectly still , watching two masked men searching mr dresser drawer. I could see every move they made. They ,n·re taking my ,rntch. Then I came back to my senses They couldn't have that \Yatch when I had arms to fight " ith and leg to kick. So , springing out of bed, I ru hed at the one close t to me. But just as I had him in my grasp, " Ban g!" went some thin g on my head I didn't remember anything for a " hile, " hen suddenly I found myself on the floor, and my mother tanding in the doorway laughing at. me.

THE FORE T RANGER

Deep in the heart of the Canadian Rockies stands a lonely, roughly-made cabin of logs. Surroundi n g it are th ousands of gigantic, stately tre es . The un rises over a distant peak, making fantastic hues blend on its rough ide

Out of the cabin steps a tall, broadshouldered man ,vith an ax on one shoulder. He i dressed in a green striped lumber jacket, khaki riding pants and high topped boots. The ranger mounts his horse and is follmnd by his faithful black and tan terrier.

O, er the hill and streams they go. The ranger alights from his horse and looks do\\ n into the green valley belo"· and sees smoke. Quickly he mounts his horse , returns to his cabin , and sends out a call for help over the telephone and then mount his horse again a:1d goes do" n into the valley.

POI SON CAKDY

\Vh en I \\ as about four , ears old I had a th rilling experience. -

At that time my uncle was very ick and " e called th e doctor. The doctor came and gave him ome pretty little pink pills that looked like candy. I ,, a to give him a pill when he told me to.

l\1y cousin, who iYaS still smaller than I, came over. I asked her to have rnme candy, but she wa afraid, so, to prove that I wa not , I ate five of the pills.

Mother came in to see how ncle John was. It wa time for him to take his medicine. It \\ ·a no where to

be seen, but on the buffe t sat the empty dish.

Mother asked me who took the medicine and "·here it had been put. I told her I ate the candy in the dish and that " ·as all I knew.

She hurried to the phone and called the do c tor. He said he ,rnuld be right out, and not to give me a nything to eat or drink. That was the last I knew. I c a n not remember what happened after that.

About two weeks ago, mother was telling about the poirnn I took. It was almost poison. It was calomel. When yo u have taken too much calomel, if you eat anything too hot or too cold ; too sweet or too sour, you ma y lose yo ur eyesight , and it 's a sure thing all your teeth will come out. Well , the doctor saved me , and if I hadn ' t been so fearless I would have saved my folks a doctor's bill.

Dear Marion:

I have a question t o ask you that ha s been uppermost in my mind and heart for a long time. I am sure yo u can answer me satisfactorily, but at the same time I hesitate to ask you I ha ve tried hard th e past few weeks to overcome my bashfulness so I could put the question before you. It would have been easier for me to have asked yo u the last tim e we were t ogether for your answer to my heart's desire.

I know you are interested in the quesfion I am about t o ask you and hope you will answer me favorably. I feel sure that you understand me perfectly and will give me due consideration in the matter. You are no doubt well aware of the fact that this is " Leap Year." I do not like to force m y que stion upon you, but at the same time I think we should come to an under-

DESCRIPTION OF A BOY

E ve ry day before th ird period while gcing through the hall on the second floor , I see a tall boy in a red sweater, c hewing gum as he enters 207. He has light hair and grayish blue eyes. He has long arms and legs , but carries himself well.

I imagine he i fifteen years old

This boy is interested in sports, especially in baseball, and you can always find him on first base when he is playing. He gets a great deal of enjoyment from arguing with his teachers, and his pet expression is , "Hello, Mrs. Cros ." Howe ver, he like s both his teacher s and sc hoolmate s and is a very goo d s por t.

DIARY OF A RICH BOY

Ma y I 3-Gosh ! Just look what mother brought me t o da y Huh! What does a boy " ant " ith a diary? But mother sa id that it is Yery nice for a little bo y to have a diary. Then when he is a big famous man the people will read his diary and know so mething about hi s life. Goll y ! I might ju t a well ha ve been a girl because she treats me like o ne anyway .

M ay q-I sure thought mother would forget to make me write in this toda y, but she didn ' t. I think my life is ju s t terrible. I hate being a rich boy. All the ladies lo o k at me and say , " Oh , he has hi s mother's eyes and hair and his father' s nose a nd chin. He smiles just like his grandfather used to." They make me feel as if I were made up of little pieces.

May I 5-I hardly ever see m y father , but today he looked at me and turned a,Yay with hi s face all scre wed up funn y and said, " I thi m y son or daughter? " It hurt me , too , but I didn't say anything because mother was there and I suppose he ,vould have cried I don't like to see m y mother cry. It doe s n't make me feel ve r y good.

Ma y I 7- Mother wa n't home yesterda y, o I didn ' t write in my diary.

I had the most terrible experience. ome boys called me names and made fun o f my curly hair. I tried to make it lay d o wn traight by putting water on it , but it curled up more than ever .

l\I ay 19- I had a fight toda y Gosh! I sure looked terrible , too. \Vhen I came home my nose was blood y and my eye w as puffed up , but I didn ' t care because I licked a boy my size I'm g lad mother " ·asn't home because she would have made a fuss over me and made me s ta y in bed I suppose. I'm happy, too. Father looked at me in surprise and shook hi s head. I heard him mumble , " He may make a man ye t!"

Ma y 26-F a ther a id he would se nd me to a farm ,Yhere I ' ll have a great t ime. I 'm not going to take m y diar y along, though. I bet I ' ll ha ve a lot to ,nite in it when I come back after a year's visit. I ca n ha rd ly ,rnit for the first of June to be off.

"Here is a note for you," said the home room teacher.

"Good gravy!" roared Blackie , "she wants me to make up my " ork. I'm not going to do it!"

"Oh ye , you are," said the team in unison. "You go up this noon and make up your work."

"It's too bad that we got such a dumb guy on our team." But the warning was too late and Donnie turned just in time to catch a book squarely on the ear and see Blackie disappear through the door.

Time passed quickh· and it ,ns soon time for the game. ·

As Blackie ,ns not there, another pitcher star ted in the box for us. He did fairly well for a substitute, but our opponents managed to score four runs in the third inning.

We scored twice in the seventh and agai n in the eighth . In the first of the ninth we scored two runs, making it five to four in our favor.

We "·ere elated at getting ahead, but we were not carele s for we had to keep our opponents from getting a run , and our pitcher was about worn out. He yielded two hits and a walk to fill our bases.

It was just what we expected ,rnuld happen. We " ere in despair, for ,H knew our pitcher couldn't hold out anr longer, when striding across the di;mond came Blackie with a grin on his face.

ow that we had Blackie to pitch , we had more confidence, but \Ye ,nre not out of the hole yet by a long ways. However, Blackie was calm, and retired the first batter after three pitched balls

The next batter had a reputation of being a heavy hitter so Blackie pitche<l carefully.

We were just getting uneasy when the batter knocked a foul to the catcher, making it two outs " ·ith three

men on ba e. Their next batter sent a lon g fly which lit about an inch from the foul line. If it had been a fair hit they ,rnuld have scored tn·o runs.

MY FIR T EXPERIENCE WITH A DENTIST

I \Yore a smile on my face but my heart " ithin me \Yas thumping a stead)· thump! thump! I sat wondering " ·hat the first happening would be. At last it ,ns my turn to have the dentist look into my mouth. The only thing he said \Yas , " ot bad." I sat in the chair with a white ton·el about me, feeling rather shaky . At last I again heard footsteps corning acros the room and saw the dentist standing before me with omething in his hand. This he put into my gums saying it would prevent the pain. He then came across the room with his hand back of him. He said if I would do e my eyes and open my mouth, and remain that way until he told me to do different, he would show me what he had in hi hand. After a teady pull I opened my eyes and sa"· the dentist holding my tooth in his hand. What a glorious feeling it was to be out of the dentist's chair and to know that that tooth couldn't hurt me any more.

The Psalm of the English Student

Miss Osthoff is mv teacher, I shall not !')ass. She maketh. me to write compos1t1ons. She maketh me t o read hard books. She giveth me hard t ests; she maketh me write long stories for ,11.r grade's sake. Yea , t hough I study unt il midnight, I shall gain no wisdom, for poor grades follo" - me. She handeth back my papers in the presence of mine classmates. She telleth me to study harder, but t o n o avail. Surely low grades and grammar shall follow me all the dars of my life, and I shall be in tne class of English II forever.

- P aul Devere, 9A

There is a Gym teacher named P orter , \ Vho cold more than he orter, But theii: knee don't hake \ Vhen their name he does take, Becaw:e he's a good fellow, "sor t er."
