Now that the end of the semester, and incidently the end 9:f. the school year, has come, the 9A's are thinking back over their days at Whittier.
Though we are looking forward 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 liveR we will remember Whittier and the teachers who co-op rated in making our stay enjoyable.

Tune (Cornhusker Field Song)
Here we come a sing'n
Don't you hear it ring'n
Singing a we go along, We are leaving Whittier
Going to Senior High inging now our good-bye song.
But we're glad today
Marching on our way
Glad to know our work is done, Saying to all the rest
Do your very best
And you'll find that work is fun.
Chorus -
So to Whittier J un,ior High School,
To our Whitti r Black and Green,
tho' they go through many a battle
Our colors still are seen, So in contest and in victory
We are sure just what they mean, And we']l always strive to hold them true
Our old Whittier black and green.

What do the pupils of Whittier think about leaving here and go-, ing over to high school. Most of the pupils are sorry to leave our dear old school, but of •course there are a few who wou Id because of some fancied grievance rather leave. However, these are very few and the Whittier spirit has been marvelously upheld over at high school. For example, take last years pupils who made weighted credit at high school. Out of these at least fifty per cent were former Whitterites. This shows what pupils can do if they really get into the spirit and work. 1
Of course when the 9A's leave Whittier they will want to come back to their old school. As many will come back, Whittier has definite rules for all visitors to follow. When in Whittier we should live up to the Whittier standards and also follow them afterwards. If this were done all the rules would not be necessary. Whittier likes to have visitors and will be glad to have them come again and see their old teachers.
Sometimes 13 is an unlucky number but it is hoped that the 13 9A's who have been on the scholarship roll six semesters will be there in high school.

HALL MANNERS
Hall manners? Is there such a thing in Whittier? I wonder? It seems as if Whittier pupils have selected a code and they are loath to go against it. This is the way the code reads: Nevel tmll<. in the halls. (It is against the religion of the code. ) Always wall<. with elbows akimbo. (So you can push folks out of the way if you happen to be in a hurry.)
Always wall<. four abreast (So you can block the halls.) ·Be sure and not be more then twenty minutes late to all your classes. (The teachers might get angry.)
With such a code its no wonder the pupils are in more than one piece when they finally reach their destination.
We, the class of 1931 of Whittier Junior High, in the city of Lincoln, in the county of Lanca ter, in the State of Nebraska, being of sound mind and memory do therefore make, publish and declare this to be our last Will and Testament.

One September day in 1928, twenty-nine 7B's met and were assigned to 108 . Of those original members there remain twentyone. We have lost eight pupils and gained thirteen in the course of three years.
A few weeks later in the semester, class officers were elected. Marie Stier was made vice-president of the 7B class.
We have one member, Lulalee Marshall, who has been on the scholarship roll every semester. Elaine Holcomb and Isabelle Tart have been on this roll every semester but one while Winifred Nelson, Aaron Finkelstein, and Billy Knight have missed two semesters .
One member, Marie Stier, has been on the honor roll every sem,ester except one. Lulalee Marshall, Winifred Nelson, and John Hinkle have been on the honor roll one semester less than Marie.
In baseball, the girls have won a few more games than the boys.
Some of our girls are quite well known in gym work and some of
them have appeared several times in dances and in other gy anasium work. One of these girls is Lulalee Marshall who has appeared several times, and another is Marie Stier who is chairman of the playground committee.
Our home room is also well represented in drama. Some of these pupils who have appeared several times are: Winifred Nelson, Myrle Pearson, Billy Knight, Blanche Ridnour, and Ruth Elder.
Marie Stier and Billy Knight rely a good deal upon their fingers. Billy Knight is an office · typist while Marie Stier makes her fingers fly in 201-A, typing for the Greenleaf.
Myrle Pearson al o toils m 201-A, writing for the Gr enleaf.

We are glad to say that we have several pupils in this home room who took part in the operetta. T h e y are: George Eggleston, Lois Mae Hadden, Ralph Durham, Lyman Baldwin, Harold Anderson, and G 1 e n Wiebusch.

We feel that our home room has been outstanding in many ways. We have twice been 100 per cent in the Greenleaf campaign and have always maintained a fine school spirit. Our desire to cooperate at all times with the teachers and pupils has been a fine lesson in citizenship which we will not soon forget. It is with reluctance that we leave Whittier and 110, and its happy associations of schoolmates and teachers.

We entered Whittier junior ~ugh as 7B's in the year 1928, Just three years ago this month. W ~ere proud ihai we had the privilege of attending one of the best junior high schools in Lincoln.
There were one hundred nine~een of us who were separated mto four groups. Capable people were chosen to help us steer our courses straight and true through Whittier. These we found were our home room teachers. From this group 1 took up their residence ~ith Miss Cross in 205; 31 with Miss Osthoff in 207 • 2 with Miss Mumford in 305, and 26 with Miss Margaret Wilson in 307.
. During the three y e a r s ~11:1ety-three new pu:pils have .1omed our ranks, and ninety-six have withdrawn, le av in g seventy-seven pupils to graduate who were originally 7B's.
Our home room teachers tried to create a spirit of co-operation and fellowship which was accomplished through the home room organization. Each home room elected a president, vie -
president, and ecretary-treas- r._..,..

On January 30, 1928, a group ;,~• • of thirty smiling freshies entered 1/r room 205 at Whittier junior high. .w These pupils had come to Whittier for a three-year period under the guidance of Miss Cross. From the original enro11ment, only eighteen remain to graduate. However, new students entering from time to time kept the enrollment somewhat uniform, and we find twenty-five student graduating at the end of the three years.
The students of 205 have occasion to feel proud of the official standing made by their room in the different organizations connected with the school work. This semester Robert Martin was elected president of the Boy's Civic League, and at the same time two Civic League chairm~n Luana Marhall, loyalty chairman, and Dolores White, program chairman, were appointed. During the six semesters we have spent at Whittier, four pupils have been chosen from our room to act as class officers. Three acted in capacity of class president and one as secretary treasurer. The class presidents were SB Marvin Plock, 8A Ada Buckner, 9A Robert Borner. The ecretary-treasurer in 9A was Dorothy Conn.
The department of delegate assembly is worthy of mention, as it is here we discuss problems of good citizenship and how to make our school better. The following students were delegates to this assembly:

As a ninth grade home room, we were 100 per cent in Whittier Greenleaf subscription which shows we were supporting a worthy cause. •
In sports, we were outstanding. Both the boys and girls d i s p 1aye d ab i 1it y in this connection. The girls' te am won the long base and end ball championship in the seventh grade. The boys, however, outclassed the girls in sports. They won basketball championship, baseball championship in • the eighth grade, and ninth grade championship in baseball, as well as defeating the faculty. Because of poor health many students were ineligible to play in the games.
Not only did we excel in sportsmanship, but we also achieved much in scholarship. Ten pupils were on the scholarship roll, seventeen were on the honor roll, and a number completed the requirements for efficiency certificates.
We were fortunate in having Miss Cross as our teacher during the entjre three years and it is with many regrets that we leave Whittier.
Jacob Kohl was gaziqg pensively at a gooseberry bush.
"What js the matter?" asked his father.
"Do gooseberries have legs, dad?"
The boy became more pensive than ever. "Then I must have swallowed a caterpillar," he said.
Three weeks ago the 9A's were very excited because on Dec. 22, they were priveleged to go down to Flemings J ewlery . to get their class pins.

In January, 1928, thirty freshmen entered home room 207 for the first time. It was their first semester in a junior high school. Who were those who asked them to buy elevator tickets? Should they heed these words?
As time went on thirty other pupils were members of home room 207. Of these sixty pupils, ten moved out of town, two were transferred to Irving, nine were transferred to other home rooms in the building, and fourteen quit school. Only sixteen of the pupils now in the home room were on the original roll, two of

followed by Professor Padded Lossely, known as August Mo!ello in private life. He plays his greatest composition, 'Midnight and Algebra,' which sounds lil~e a funeral dirge. The applause is astounding. In fact it is a sil~nt tribute except for the no_ise made in the rush for the exits. After the professor has gone, the audience returns and settles down with a sigh of relief, hoping for better 1uck on the next number. Inez Wells almost spoils the program by rushing in too soon with a bucket of water for the next lecturer. The brilliant lecturer, Robert Martin talks on 'Why Wild Flowers ar~ Wild,' which gives the audience time for a nap.
"A new vision appears! Who are these earnest globe trotters?
