This is dedicated to the 9A's of June '34. It is hoped that along with this issue there will go the memories of three happy and successful years, that were

spent here. It should bring back many incidents which happened and also recall all the life-time friends and .faculty members of Whittier.

THE WHITTIER GREENLEAF

A PERFECT STAY Tune: Perfect Day We have reached the end of our pleasant stay, And now must journey on.

The end has come and we're leaving now; So we sing this fareweII song.

Our teachers dear, have been kind and true They've shared our joys and woes.

The fine things they have done for us Are things that no one else knows.

Our fellow students have been grand, Swell sports, and real true blue.

But sad as it is when we must go, We will have to leave them, too.

Dear Whittier, you are our real friend.

Our home for three short years, Low, our future we face with a steady hand And with hopes and not with tears.

- Esther Stuermer, 212

THE CLASS OF 34 Three years we've spent at Whittier To leave it grieves us sore We'l] just step o'er to Lincoln High And there we'll spend three more.

We entered this school as freshmen All young and green were we And we learned that above all other things We must show it loyalty.

We stayed through here a second year A year of good hard work; And though things somtimes puzzled us Our duty we ne'er did shirk.

May 29, 1394

FAREWELL WHITTIER Tune: Memory Lane We are leaving Whittier joys, So we say farewell girls and boys, Yet we linger oh dear Whittier, But we must say farewell now.

Refrain: We were as you wandering through Whittier halls, Trying our best just as the rest giving our a1I; We are dreaming yet of the test we met, But we have enjoyed it all.

We were so shy three years ago when we first came, How we did try, yearning to be like the 9A's, Since our fears were in vain, Our thoughts will remain, With all of you, "Whittier High Good-bye!"

- Franklin Lohr, 210

As ninth graders with authority We were inclined to think That we could cross the river Of which we'd reached the brink.

Of course we'll miss our teachers Who've had us in their charge But when we get to Lincoln High Our friend~hips we'll enlarge.

And now that we are leaving you And our work o'er here is done; We'll wish success and happiness To those who are yet to come.

- Martha Whelan, 301
