C l a s Poem

We upon a trip have , tarted Un the ship called Education

The most important port of all I the port of graduation

F'rom th e bow of our big ship

The flag is gayly treaming, It colors fair of green and white

Above us always gleaming.

"Work till you win" the sailors cry, o toilsome duty feating. We guide our ship on its own course

A our port we now are ne~-iring.

The Greenleaf staff wishes to expres s its appreciation to the students and teachers of Whittier who have in any way contrihuted material for the Green leaf. By reporting happenings of mterest you hear of or see, you will help fill this paper with the kind of news pupils like to read. This semester with a smaller staff than usual, the Greenleaf would have been edited with more difficulty had it not been for the jokes, notable notes, and original stories sent in to the Greenleaf office by teachers and pupils.

What 102 lacks in a t hletic prowess it makes up i n music, six pupils being in the glee club and one in the advanced orchestra. Jo13ephine Heilman , w ho sings in the glee club , is said b y Mrs. Wh ite to be quite the tops.

Fr ank Elias , one of the shorter pupils, has the highest average grade in the ho m e room. His averageisoneand two-thirds Ruth Bstandig an d Marjorie Randall are close behind with an average of two.

Glenn P ayne is as much of a ''Tarzan"as 102can boast. Glenn is seventeen years o ld , weighs one hundred fifty-four pounds. and issixty-nineand one-fourth inches tall.

to their new home, they electedGrace Knapp for their new and first president.
