9 A: Class Day Was Held June Third
PLAY REPRESENTING 10 YEARS HENCE WAS GIVEN
When the students of Whittier trooped into the auditorium on Class day, June third, they saw the stag-e gaily decorated by the 9B's in the 9A class colors, pink and green. First all the 9A's marched in wearing their caps. The president of the 9A class, Lawrence Burke, then gave a short address of welcome. Those who will receive efficiency certificates and the 9A's who have been on the scholorship roll four, five, and six semesters were pre ented.
The second part of the program was a play showing the reunion of the present 9A class ten years from now. The reunion was in the form of a garden party and wa written by Margaret Eaton and Alice Nielsen. As part of the program that the hostess of the garden party provided to enter-
solo by Kenneth Jones. A group of 9A boys did a very int r ting number planned by .Mr. Andr ws. Jeanne Marie B aman sang a solo. Some of Miss Flat m rch's girls gave the pearl danc . The program was closed by th singing of the class ong and the 9A's marching out.
REQUIREMENTS MET • FOR CERTIFICATES
Whitti r W II Repr sented On Efficiency Roll
With the motto, "M;ake yourse 1f effi. c ien t by doing thin gs c
worth while," in front of them, it is no wond r that many pupiis received their 25 or more efficiency credits, not more than 5 being in each column and one required in the health group. Having also written to th uperintendent of schools, Mr. Lefler, and to the secretary of the VARIOU CERTIFICATES Chamber of Com mere , Mr. WILL BE GIVEN Whitten, and having pass d the THERE requirem nts for scholarship, character and health,a pupil ha fulfilled the requirements for his certificate.
In the character rating alone one needs to have many of the fine qualities listed there in order to become a good citizen. Courtesy, truthfulness, coop ration, and dependability ar ssential in every-day lif In school, home, and busin ss these qualitie are necessary.
All of the requirements are exceedingly beneficial to ev ry one. Very few who have gotten the honor are less ffi.cient.
On June 9th at the St. Paul church, at the promotion ex rcis s the efficiency certificates will be given to all 9A the pupils earning efficiency.
Junior high school children all over th city will r ceive their certificates and it i felt that Whittier i well r pr sented by our pupils.

The out-going 9A's have created a place for them-selves in the h arts of fellow-students and teachers. They have been admired and looked-up to by their friends and class-mates and respected by their teachers. Many scholars and athletes have come from this class. Whittier hopes that they will maintain the high standards there as other classes have done in the past. Former students of Whittier have distinguished them elves nobly and Whittier is, as indeed it should be, rroud of these students. It is expected to hear fine things from

HISTORY OF HOME ROOM 318
On Monday, September eighth 1929, thirty-eight wet and bedraggled little 7B's filed into 103 to begin their three year term of hard work with Mrs. Shike.
There are 21 of those original 7B's left. Their combined weight at that time was 1,721 pounds. Gracious! How they have gained, because they now weigh over 2,200 pounds.
Since that little pest,Jane Brackett, was a 7B she has grown over one half foot, while Russell Brentson, believe it or not has grown eight inches and is our tallest youth. Victor Johns is our short st, but Robert Fowler is our baby as he is the youngest.
The 35 pupils in this home room were born in seven different states, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and even far away New York. • Blue seems to be the favorite color of the majority, but nearly v ry one has brown eyes.
Som pupil has a birthday in v ry month in 318, but it seems that more chose February than
any other month. Besides Washington, Lincoln, and St. Valentine, Russell Brentson, Kenneth Durnin, Harold Ledford, Mrs. Shike, Raymond Miller, and Nick Rubino were born in the second month. 1917 is our popular birth year.
Harold Ledford is our valentine, but Catherine Jones will probably never be president even though her birthday is on Inauguration day. Ground-Hog-Day was Raymond Miller's choice.
Some of our preferred occupations are photc,grapher, farmer, aviator, engineer, actor, surgeon, nurse, stenographer, teacher, prospector, laywer, cartoonist, social worker, printer, coach, and musiral director. Of course we imagine that Victor Johns has the ambition to be a coach.
We have won our share of honors in sports, have always had our class dues in early, and as 9A's we are 100 percent ''Greenleafer . ''
After we had done om- spring house cleaning in 1930 and closed 103 for the summer, we came back in the fall to find that Mr. Culler had pack dour pos::sessions (continued on page 19)

HISTORY OF HOME ROOM 218 Three of the members were born
During the last six semesters of school, sixty-six have entered this home room. Thirty-four out of this number remain. Nine have moved from Lincoln to other points in the state or to other states; fourteen have been transferred to other home rooms; four have dropped school when sixteen years old. Twelve new pupils have entered this year (19311932) out of which Belmont has contributed her share. Betty Walsh came from Iowa; Roger Forburger, Valparaiso; Ada Mae Preston, Oklahoma.
There have been three pupil on the scholarship roll for five semesters. T h e y a r e Alice Nielsen, Clement Theobald, and Loren Rohrbaugh. One, June Traver, has been on the scholarship roll four semesters. The honor roll consists of one member who has been neith r ab ent nor tardy for five semesters.
The present inhabitants of 218 are chiefly cornhuskers by birth, but there are a few exception .
in Kansas, two in Missouri, one in Iowa, and on in Ohio. The census sheet avows that Alice Nielsen was born in England but she vows it is a mistake. Now we don't know where she was born. In the three years at Whittier, Alice Nielsen has received the grade of one, a hundred seventeen times, sixty-three times for deportment, fifty-four times in subjects. One semester every deportment grade received was one. Also 218 has been one-hundred per cent in its patronage of the Greenleaf four semesters. Lor n Rohrbaugh has been one of the best boosters for this goal.
Several interesting c o in c idences have taken place in this home room; Raymond Leath laughs when he tell of how he became a tailor. He had to sit in the clinic and sew up an unwelcome hole in his trousers. Melvin Biggs still wond r who put the gum where he sat down.

HISTORY OF HOME ROOM 104
Wondering at so many different teachers, class mates and classrooms, thirty-four pupils passed the threshold of 104; 7B's under the supervision of Mr. Strawn. After much labor and plodding, along with much fun, they finally reached their goal, the 9A class where, alas! two of their prominent members were transferred to 8A home rooms because of bad behavior.
Accidents will happen, especially to Mr. Strawn. In his play classes he went so far as to break his finger and cut his eye.
The 104 heavyweight is Lloyd Carter who weighs 190 pounds while the lightweight is Jacob Weber weighing only 78 pounds. 104 star pupils are Bill Morse and Paul Fuenning, who have been on the scholarship roll every semester since they have been in Whittier. Highest honors go to Richard Evans. He has been nei-
ther absent nor tardy since he first entered three years ago.
104 has surely been loyal to their class treasurer. For five semesters they have been first in payment of class dues.
Baseball championship seemed to be quite a fad. When the boys of 104 were 7B's, they were the winI).ers of three tournaments at that time. A volley ball championship came their way also when they were 7B's. As 7Asthey won another baseball championship.
The girls are quite we11-known when it comes to athletics themselves. They won the school championship in basketball in 9A.
Bill Morse was the sorcerer, Coco Orinoco in the opperetta ''Crocodile Island.'' Leo Rosenberg was the King, a comical character.
Mr. Strawn has faithfully stood by his post for three years. He says the only jokes he has hh~ a~e the thirty-four jokes ~hat sit in the seats in front of him.

HISTORY OF HOME ROOM 314
On September 1929, thirty-four 7B's of assorted sizes and shapes from Hayward, Bryant, Elliott, Belmont, Everett, and Lakeview timidly ent red home room 314, only three short years ago. Of this original group 16 are emerging as important s niors until Septemb r when they will again be insignificant sophomores at Lincoln High School. During the six semesters that home room 314 has spent at Whittier sixtyfive different pupils have been enrolled, twenty-thre girls and forty-two boys. Thirty-four of these are leaving for high school. There have been many changes in the personnel of thi! home room during six semesters and they have been very glad to welcome several new pupils from outside the city during the ninth grade. Lilah Jen sen, the youngest member of this home room, came from Aurora, Nebraska, with a record of excellent in every subject. Pearl Morey,coming from Arkansas, brought along with her a delightful accent and a pleasing courtesy typical of a
south rn r. The ch rful and dep ndable Flor nee Surber came from O'Neill, Nebraska. Clair Garrison entered during the 9B session with a ch ry mil and a whole-hearted fear of girls. Dorothy Schleiger and Robert K ech came to 314 from B lmont during the 9B sem st r. Both entered heart and soul into the spirit of Whittier so that no one can distinguish the fact that they havPn't been in Whitti r for six semesters. Ed win Hay s moved to New York when in th 7th grade, but fearing 314 could not get along without him, h r turned during the 8th grade. 314 was endowed with the presence of good-natured Howard Jacobs in 9A, who came to Whittier from 26th & 0. Rufus Koerting ntered home room314 in 98. when compar d in height to P rry Scdoris h looked pretty small, but h is pretty big in doing things. Durward Hodgkins, always quiet and well-mannered joined 314 during the 9A session.
The pupils of 314 have b n very fortuntunate to have been able to retain the sam home room and teacher.

HISTORY OF HOME ROOM 300
On September 9th, 1929, thirty. eight bewildered 7B's entered horn room 300. Some people have been transferred in and out but twenty-two of the original thirty-eight have faithfully remained. Miss Ralston, the home room teacher, has helped and guided the pupils all the three years that they have been in Whittier.
The people in this horn room have had quite a record in the athletic fie-Id. The girls~ team won the seventh and eighth grade championship in basebal1 w bile 7A's. The boys' have had several victories. They won the school championship in basket ball in the 9A semester.
The "long and the short of it" in 300 are Henry Brehm and Robert McDermand respectively. Many, in fact most of its members, have grown to be taller than the teacher. The combined weight of 300 is about 3, 757 pounds. My how they have grown!
Raymond Kelly has been on the scholarship roll five semesters and still is so far this semester.
Eleanor Lewis was on the scholarship roll for four semesters and still is this semester. Emma Debus holds the same record for the honor roll. Henry Brehm and Raymond Kelly have been on the honor roll for four semesters. Because 300 is an art room it has tables and chairs instead of desks. Sometimes this has proved to be a disadvantage although it sometimes proves to be an advantage. When anyone wishes to change his seat it is a simple matter. They simply exchange drawers. The chairs are quite a temptation to tip back in. Edsel Rice forgot so often that he had to stand up for punishment. Kenneth Feaster and Raymond Kelly play in the band. Kenneth Jones and Gerald Diefenderfer have represented room 300 in the advanced orchestra.
Pupils of 300 have not moved but have remained in the same room during the six semesters of their stay at Whittier.

A DAY IN CAMP
One morning about 5:30 all we girls got up, dressed, ate breakfast, and started on a hike. When we got about half way there, we decided to call it a a treasure bunt because someone had buried a treasure the night before, and we also decided that the one who found the chest would be captain, the one who found the key to open it would be first mate, and the one who found the marked tree would be second mate. The reason we had a captain, first mate, and second mate is because we went in boats, supposed to be pirate ships. Half of us walked one way and rode the other.
When we got there everyone started looking for the marked tree, which was supposed to be mark din blood. At last a girl named "Helen" found it which made her second mate.
Next we all started looking for the chest. There were a lot of humps in the ground and everyone started digging but .found nothing, finally I came to a place with a great big log over a hump in the ground. Using most .of ! of my en rgy, I pushed the log I away and started d i g gin g. Finally I cried ''Hurrah, I've found the chest," and sure enough, there it was. How
proud I was to be called captain! Then we started to look for the key. Finally a girl named Norma found it hanging on a limb right above the place where the chest was and so she was . first mate. Next we read a chapter from the book ''Treasure Island.'' Opening the chest we found vanilla wafers and sandwiches which we ate. We locked it again and I took it under my arm and started back-to camp. When we got back all the boys were waiting for us. When they saw the chest they didn't know what to think and kept asking us what we had. All the girls said ''Oh, gold and jewels!'' and they believed us. When we opened it again they looked so startled, that they didn't know what to do.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH A BEAR
When I was coming home from the store in Yellowstone park, I met a bear with big green eyes and brown fur. He was evidently after something to eat. He smelled the meat I had and was very sure he was going to get it.
After I had run about a half a block he overtook me. I tried to keep the meat from him by holding it over my head. Seeinv me do this he stood upon hi hind legs and reached for it. He scratched my arms, tore my shirt and overalls, but he didn't get the meat.

SPILT MILK
Martha Jenks and her city cousin, Jane,· stood forlornly watching a rattly littl Ford which was rapidly disappearing down the dusty road. Martha's father, mother, and the "kids" had gone to Grandma's to spend the day. Just as they had passed through the gate, her father had remarked casually, "Of course, you girls will do the chores." What a parting thrust!
As Martha watched the car disappear around a bend, she was stricken with a sudden fright. That cow! She couldn't milk if her life depended on it, and of course Jane, having lived in the city all her lifo, knew even less about milking. What ever should they do ?
The difficulties they had with that cow! Gentle Bossy wa 1 greatly amused at the clum~iness of the inexperienced milkers. When they did g et a little milk in the pail, Bos s y would kick it over. Jane' s pretty frock was splashed with milk from hem to yoke. At last two angry, splashed, and tired g irls returned to the house without a drop of milk, and awaited th e return of Martha's parents. Their patience was so completely worn out that they did not even attempt the rest of the chores. They would rather face the anger of Martha's father than another such task as milking.
Far from being angry at the two girls, Mr. Jenks got "a big kick" out of the whole affair. But you may be sure that Martha did not, and furthermore they never heard the -last of it.
SUGAR AND SALT
"We haven't time to go after nuts for you. We're bmw."
"I gues s we'll have to do without nuts then, but you'll not get :-ipy candy."
called after them, "You may n t give us any, but w 'll g t om anyway."
"Never mind. They won't dar take any of it. Jean, you read me the recipe and I'll mix it up, because I know where thin • are."
"One tablespoonful of butt r, two cups of sugar, and twthirds of a cup of milk."
Carla got the butt r and th milk, but when sh m a m· d out the sugar sh found th r wasn't enough.
"Oh, Jean, we're n arly out f sugar. I rememb r, now, m ther said so this morning. W lack almost half a cup."
"What's in that cup on th cabinet? It looks lik sugar."
"Why, it i ugar ! I n't that lucky? I was afraid w couldn't make any candy, aft r all."
They finished makin th candy and 1 ft it to cool. Lat r Jean went to se if the candy had harden d. Suddenly h called, "Carla! Th cand i , gone!"
"Gone? Tho boy to k it, I'll bet." Carla ran int th kitchen.
"Look. Thi littl bit i all they've left us. Well, 1 t' at it, i.f it's all we can hav ."
She ate a piec then mad a face.
"Never mind." sh lau,g-hed. "The boys will' be orry. That cup we thought contain d ~u ar was fill d with salt, inst ad."

MR. GAMMILL'S DEVILS
I knew I shouldn't have done it, but I did, and I have been sorry ever since. Well, it's this way. Some friends of mine wanted to take their girls for a ride and wanted me to go along. I am the only one who has a car.
Everything went along fine
It is very fitting that the good until someone in the back seat work and splendid cooperation hollered, "Eleven o'clock and of Mr. Gammill's printing cla s s all's well." At that exact minbe acknowledged here.

gas plus a gang of boys equal a revolution. Now I'm a peaceful sort of guy and strong for the disarmament conferrnce. So I arrived at the solution in about one second and was out of the car and down the road. I may have been no good at albegra, but I'm long on speed.
Now I've got a rare sen.se of h urn or so I crept back to listen in on their council of war.

"Yea," I recognized Hank's voice, "When they passed out brains, he took mush."
"He's so dumb he thinks bacterias are the back doors to cafeterias," sounded like •May.
Now that's more compliments than I've had for a long time.
All of a sudden there was a whisper and somebody left. Everybody knows sitting down is easier than lyi11:g on your stomach, and so I sat on the bumper. I had just gone to sleep when I woke up sitting in the middle of the road with the car going off down the road.
Fifteen miles is a long way any time but with tight shoes that aren't broken in, it's about thirty miles.
Maybe you're wondering why I have been sorry ever since'! Well, it was April fool's day when I wrote this so why go any farther?

The people of home room 310 were proceeding with the morning exercises as usual. They started to salute the flag but when half way through the pledge, Mrs. Boschult suddenl :7 remarked, "Where is th e fl ::- g ?"
The flag had not yet been put up. This caused a great deal of commotion.
Mr. Gammill-Boys! like babie !

A BAD EGG
A white object sailed through the air. Plunk, and the previou ly dry head of "Speck" . Donlon now dripped the odorous content of an over-1·ipe "henfruit," thrown by the sinewy arm of Ro s Calihan, "Speck's" diminutive enemy.
Ros , a small, hot tempered boy with a strong tinge of Irish blood in his veins, delights to tea e th tranquil "Speck."
About a week after this attack on " peck," the mischievou Ro , carrying hi favorite mi ile, unexp ctedly met his favorite ource of amu ement on th treet in th gathering dusk. Ro , espying "Speck" took aim and hurled "the oval of desti·uction." The intended victim, warned by his. six-sense, ducked. But the egg was immediately stopp d by th countenance of an eld rly, guileless dude, who was walking beside "Speck."
The dude uttered a deep masculine oath of urpris as he saw Ro rai e his arm for another throw at the quickly di app earing "Speck."
Having a quick temper like Ro· , he charged at his antagoni. t. Ross ran with all the pe d he could muster, the dude running a clo e cond. Thru traffic, down all ys, and over f nc they bounded like a tumbleweed blown by a strong wind.
After a long cha e the dude finally caught his p1·ey and continued to show his lack of pat malism in a manner which brought low howls of anguish from that individual.
The battl that followed would make the battle of ~ettysburg look like a game of tiddl e dewiP k c; ,

And we now have reached our goal, But we're going to climb on higher -
Each finding his life's role.
But Me'll always say we loved you -
Our dear old Junior High, Now it's Commencement day at Whittier
And we'll have to say good-bye. Now we're on our way to high school
With our spirits ever gayYet we're striving for great futures,
Each going his own way. But we'll always say we loved

Our dear old Junior HighN ow its Commencement day at Whittier-
And we'll have to say good -bye.
- George Anderson
Tune: "Victory"
Come now, classmates, let us sing.
Loyally support our s chool.
We're here today with our colors gay, Happiness is the rdle.
On to high school we must go, But we'll remember you, Our dear Whittier Junior High And teachers so tried and true.
Chorus:
Black and Green, farewell to thee, '
You have our love and loyalty. Our thoughts will ever bring us back,
Though we now change to the red and black, And w e will work with all our might
Success we will pursue.
Let us bring fame to Whittier's name And nineteen thirty-two.

ERTIFICATES TO BE AWARDED BY MR. WHITTEN
Quite a few of Whitti r's 9A's have been v ry industrious in securing enough fficiency point to receive an ffici ncy certificate. Not only must they accumulate twenty-five points of fficiency credit but they must rate high in a character test. They mu1t
also write letters to Mr. Lefler and to the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, and are required to meet a scholarship
standard equal to their ability. As this is outside of the regular work and takes much time, th pupils of Whittier should be proud that so .many of the 9A stud nt did this worthwhile thing. They are as follows:
Anderson, G orge Brehm, Marie Brown, Bonnie Burr, Elizabeth Cather, Myers Davis, Aletha Dean, Howard Bdison, Elizab th Folger, Arlene Fuenning, Sam Gerdes, Mari Grow, Thelma Hendricks, Margaret Mc Reynolds, Nedra Merting, Gretchen Packard, Frances inclair, Roma Jean Titler, Maxin Wall, Roberta W rner; Kathryn White, Richard

The inevitable is marching steadfastly upon Whittier, this inevitable being 9A promotion to high school. The 9A pupils, having spent three years of extensive Rnd intensive toil, are awaiting the much looked for event, graduation. The 9A's are loath to leave Whittier but must do so. There are many members of the graduating body who have exceptional qualities and talents. It is hoped that they may develop these talents and put them to use at high school. Many of the 9A students have the qualities to rise to some of the honored and coveted positions at high school. The rema; :1ipg body of students wish the 9A' s all the possible success.
NEVER AGAIN
January 22, 1932
Although it was midnight, dad was waiting for us with the
Never again will I run away razor strap and if I ever got a from home! I made this vow tanning I got it then, and worse after a very vivid experience than that, l spent the next three a couple of summers ago.
After having been forbidden to attend the circus unchaperoned, my boy friend and I decided to go anyhow. With out saying a word to any one we quietly left the house about six o'clock. The performance didn't start until eight o'clock, so we had about two hours two get to the circus grounds. As we had only enough money for our admission tickets we had to walk the distance to the circus grounds, which was three miles.
The circus was over at eleven o'clock, and we started to walk home. We had gone only a few blocks when it started to rain, slightly at first, then gradually raining harder. We started to run but, you can't run three miles, so we were forced to go more slowly. Harder and harder it rained, and wetter and wetter we became. Then suddenly it seemed to grow colder and large hail stones began hitting us on the head. We found shelter under a large oak tree, which gave us some protection. It stopped hailing after a few minutes, but continued raining steadily. We knew we couldn't stand under the oak tree, all night, so we continued the long three miles home. Splash, splash, slipping, sliding, and stepping into water up to our knees, falling on sl ick cement tearing my trousers, we finally reached home at last. A couple of drowned rats, we were soaked to our skin.

COMPLAINING
One day upon being left all alone in a small school room I heard a faint whisper which' became louder and louder. I stood very still and all at once I heard a voice. Upon investigating I found it was the waste paper basket talking to the floor and some to the desk.
''You think that you are treated very badly,'' said the floor to the desk, "why, the people step on me and throw their pens in my face, and some of the worst children even throw that nasty sticky stuff that they call gum on my face.''
''Oh, I suppose that is very bad but still, people carve names in my back and on my face, then they knock me over and kick me, so what do you think of that?" replied the desk.
''Yes my dear that is quite bad, but I don't think either one of you is as bad off as l am" replied the waste paper basket. "I have to hold all the old paper and terrible gum and some go so far as to step in me. ''
All at once the door opened and in walked the teacher and several children, and so the complaints were hushed up.

History of 308
Though we do not hold some titles, the pupils of home room 308 wish to claim the title of having had their home room moved more times than any other in Whittier. As 7B's and 7A's we occupied 216. Then we moved to 222, and upon our return to school in th fall of 1931 we were moved to 308. Miss Madsen has been head command r in all the moves we have made during our three years at \Vhittier.
There were thirty-five 7B's who succeeded in finding their way to 216 on that morning in January 1929. Thirt en of those pupils have succes fully pushed on from the trials of ''fresbies'' to the triumphs of 9A's.
Our room has been very fortunate in having its members hold places of responsibility and 1 adership. The presidents of four previous classes wer from
