To you 9A 's we dedicate this issue, hoping you will cherish many thoughts of Wbittier, its students and faculty, in later years.
In all our years of school, from kindergarten to 9A, the three very short years at Whittier are perhaps the most enjoyable. In your leaving we a11 wish you ''good luck" at Lincoln High.

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 sma1ler 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.

It has been three long. hard years ( hard for teachers and pupils alike) since thirty-eight proverbially timid freshies entered Whittier and were assigned to home room 102 under the leadership of Miss Haatvedt. Today, the home room is found to have lost fifteen pupils, leavingtwentythree of the original bunch.
The home room elected to the office of home room president, the following pupils:
7 B, Dorothy Thomas

8B, Josephine Heilman
8A, Bobby Metrakos

9A, Robert Ellis
(.;eorge Rebensdorf has twice held the office of secretary, once for the 7B Class and now as secretary, of the boys Civic League.
There are ten civic league committee-men and two chairmen, Glen Eppens,andMarjoie Randall, in the room.
What 102 lacks in athletic prowess it makes up in music, six pupils being in the glee club and one in the advanced orchestra. Joc;,ephine Heilman, who sings in the glee club, is said by Mrs. White to be quite the tops.
Frank Elias, one of the shorter pupils, has the highest average grade in the home room. His averageisoneand two-thirds. Ruth Bstandig and Marjorie Randall are close behind with an average of two.
Glenn Payne is as much of a ''Tarzan"as 102 can boast. Glenn is seventeen years old, weighs one I hundred fifty-four pounds. and is sixty-nine and one-fourth inches tall.
On September 1933, forty "freshies" settled down in 106. Here twenty-five of the original remained. Fourteen have been added.

CIVIC LEAGUE OFFICERS AND CHAIRMEN
This is a picture of the civic league officers and cabinet. We are sure they have done their part to make Whittier a better school.
SCHOLARSHIP ROLL
These pupils have met the scholarship requirements for four or five semesters.
EFFICIENCY PUPILS
These are the pupils who have received their efficiency certificate. They are from 304 , 305, 320, and 106.
SCHOLARSHIP ROLL
These 9A's have been on the scholarship roll for six semesters.
HONOR ROLL
These 9A pupils have not been absent or tardy for four, five, and six semesters. They have • well earned the riqht to be on the honor roll.
These pupils are the officers of the six classes. The work they do is of great importance in building school spirit. ,
It is fine that Whittier has so many efficiency pupils that it was necessary to make two pictures. These pupils are from 102, 203, 309, and 318.
This is a picture of the home room presidents upon whom much of the success of home room meetings depend.

In September 1933, forty-one curious little "freshies" entered Whittier, expecting to find Mrs. $wisher for a home room teacher but were greeted, in her place by Mrs. White, their present home room teacher. Of the original number of pupils thirty-two remain with additions. In 7 A they were transferred from 104 to 203.

Here is the group that has set up and printed this and all the other issues of the Greenleaf. The Greenleaf Staff, the bunch that has kept the printers busy, is mixed in here also.
All of these pupils willingly helped to make the spring program a success. They are from the shop and home economics classes.
This is a picture of of the pupils from Miss Osthoff's Drama II class, They were in the play, ..The Clock Struck One'' from the spring program.
This short skit I shall tell to you, is about thirty-eight little freshies and a grand teacher we all know, Miss Dorothy Green.
The scene opens with "Our freshies'' gazing about the room and Miss Green nearily driven crazy by so many questions.
After a few days to get used to their new home, they elected Grace Knapp for their new and first president.
Many things were accomplished by ''Our freshies'' during their first semester at Whittier. Tht curtain falls and we see home room 304, becoming known as one of the best.
Well the curtain fell and was raised for four more semesters with the following very capable boys and girls being elected home room presidents.
7A, Francis Cox
8B, Delbert Cates SA, Melba Warne 9B, Paul Rush
As the curtain rises for the last scene we see a very decided change in "Our freshies" for they have reached the highest goal of any average 7B, a 9A.
Gazing about the room, we see many shining objects which are worn by "these 9A's " no-yes those are civic league badges. There are nine of them. Robert Ru n n a 1s, Grace Knapp and Katherine Kiesselbach are chairmen of committees. Gail Porter represents the home room in glee club, Grace Knapp in Greenleaf staff, Norman Warnke, and Philip V an K e u re n in Greenleaf printing.
Standing before the home room as the last president ever to be chosen by "these 9A's" is Doris I
Johns. Doris is an exceedingly good president.
We notice the curtain is about to fall, so we leave "Our freshies'' now "these 9A's" with minds filled with the many happy memories of their three yeari:;i in Whittier Junior High School.

Way back in the middle of September, 1933, thirty-seven freRhies out of the group of about four hundred and twenty-five entering that sernester were assigned 1 • to home room 305, Miss Mattie' Mumford in charge. In the three hard years that followed, eleven pupils out of the original bunch were lost, twenty-six remaining.
The following pupils were elected to the office of home room president, each holding the position for one semester.

7 A, Maxine Cummins
8B, Jean Vanderberg

9A, Glenna Erlwards
One of the boys, Keith Ro~e, was vice-president of the 98 class.
As to representation in the civic league, 305 has the girl's civic league secretary, Lois McChesney, and the chairman . of the boy's office committee, Robert Luebs. Last semester, 305 had only five c1v1c leaguers, all committeemen. This semester we have besides the above mentioned pupils, nine civic league committeemen.
Robert Luebs is also the editorin-chief of the Greenleaf.
Robert Luebs appears to be the "big intellectual" here with an average of, about one and two thirds, but there are at least six others very close behind him.
Phyllis Draper, the smallest pupil, is another high marker and Donald Bruns, the tallest pupil, has been responsible for many of the home room's victories in basketball.
In the last year especially, the boys of 305 have b en very active

in athletics. They have won sever a I championships and although they have never secured the title of "unbeatable," neither has any other home room, and until lately, 203 and 320 have been the only home rooms with teams who could go into action against them with any certainty of winning.
The girls should not be forgotten as they also have won several lesser championships and have defeated at least once, every team they havefever played.
The girls captain is Evelyn Adam.

Class Motto
"W orl<- till you win"
Class Poem by Jean Carnahan
We upon a trip have , tarted On the ship called Education
The most important port of all Is the port of graduation
From the bow of our big ship
The flag is gay ly streaming, It colors fair of green and w bite Above us always gleaming.
"Work till you win" the sailors cry, No toilsome duty fearing.
We guide our ship on its own course As our port we now are ne::iring.
