WHITTIER JU NIOR HIGH ~ ow that the end of the semester, and incidently the end of the school year, has come, the 9A's are thinking back over their days at Whittier.

Though we are looking forn ard to going to Lincoln High, we do not leave without regret. In all our years at school, from kindergarten to 9A, the three years at Whittier are perhaps the most pleasant, and through all the rest of our live we will remember Whittier anct the teachers who co-operated in making our stay enjoyable.

It eems as if Whittier pupils I have elected a code and they are

loath to go against it. This is the way the code reads: 'e1 e1 imlk in the halls. (It i against the religion of the code.) Alv.·a)'s I walk with elbows akimbo. (So you ·J can push folks out of the way if you happen to be in a hurry.) 1

I

Always v.·alk four abreast

(So

you can block the halls.)

Be sure and not be more then twenty minutes late to all your classes. (The teach -

I1 ers might get angry.)

\V ith such a code its no wonder the pupils are in more than one piece when they finally reach their destination.
