Tune: Auld Lang Syn

Our school day now are pa t and gone, And yet we linger near; weet joy that we have alway , known; 'Tis sad to part from here. The world before u brightly lies Yet mem'ry love to dwell; With addened hearts and dewy eyes \Ve bid to all farewell.

Long will our heart recall each joy, And sing of thee so dear, For time can never more de troyThe light of mem'ry clear. Of other scenes and other cares Our lips their story tell; Each heart your tender mem'ry shares, Teachers, Comrades, fare well!

9A T H A KS TO TEAC H E R S

T he class of ' 34 wishes to expre s the ir gratitude to the teachers of Whittier, who have muste r ed up patience to keep pushing them forward , when at timP-s they were very discourteou s and ungrateful.

The class can look back upon such times and remember the diff e rent mistakes they have made and realize what the teacher had to go through. There were unbelieveabl y long dail y lessons in Latin, algebra, geography, English and civics.

WHITTIER JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

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 y ears , 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.

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.

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

Reeplenden t in their class colors blue and gold, two hundred and fifty 9A's marched for tbe last time across the Whittier stage, accompanied by the orchestra, under the direction of Mrs. Kathryn White, on May the twenty ninth, nineteen hundred and thirty four. As they marched across the stage, the girl's dresses made a kaliedoscope of moving color. While the boys in their dark suits and light shirts made a pleasing contrast.

A group of 9A girls sang the song entitled "When the Swallow Sin gs" by Eric Meyer and Helmund. Miss Osthoff's drama two class presented a play entitled "Hello Grandma;" only 9A's took part.

HISTORY OF 209

In September, 1931, thirtyfour 7-Bs entered Whittier, a school very different from the grade schools from which they entered. They soon grew accustomed to the strange ways of Whittier. They assembled in 209 under the leadership of Mrs. Barrows. During the three years, 46 pupils have been enrolled, 22 of whom have been in this room for the six semesters. We now have 35 students.

Home Room 209 has had a part in scho ol and class politics, Richard Smith and Taylor Lewis were class presidents, and Frieda Dinges was vice-president. Taylor Lewis is now vicepresident of the Boys' Civic League , and Frieda Dinges is the president of the Girls' Civic
