CLOWNS AND TUMBLERS

Mrs . Ross' gym classes put on a very interesting Clown dance for the fall program. Mr. Andrews was also proud to present his tumblers from the boys' gym classes.

HISTORY OF 104

According to traditi on, the incoming freshmen of any institution are a pathetic sight. They are depicted as a mo b of openmouthed, bewildere d children, standing in deep awe of everyone whom they encounter. However, we soon made ou r selves at home and in a few weeks we got on to the system used on the stairs and how the rooms were numbered.

Coming into our home room we were surprised, and pleasantly so, to find that our home room teacher was to be a man. This was something new for most of us.

The presidents of our home room have been as follows .

7B Ja ck Oden

7A Bob Baker

8B William Loeffel

8A Betty Bonebright

9B Annette Smith

9A Esther Manion

In 7B, thirty-four pup i 1 s resided in 1 0 4. Since then , twenty-four have en t ere d, making a total of fift y -eight pupils that have heen in our

home room at one time or another. There are now twentyeight pupils, eleven of whom have been here six semesters.

The boys of 104 were basketb a 11 champions in their 7A semester. I

At the end of the 9B semester I and for the t welve weeks grades in 9A, Betty Bonebright had all ones.

The tallest girl is H e 1en Muehlhausen and the shortest is Betty Bonebright. Of the boys I Gale Booth is the tallest, while i Bob Reitz is the runt of the gang.

There are six pupils on the scholarship roll for six semesters, three for fl ve , and one for four semesters. One pupil was on the honor roll for six semesters, fl ve for five, and two pupils were neither absent nor tardy for four semesters.

George Werner is editor of the 9A Greenleaf. Albert Colwell and i George Werner are Greenleaf printers.

We have one pupil in band, four in orchestra ~ and four in glee club.

THE WHITTIER GREE LEAF

HI TORY OF 307

Under the capable and efficient instruction of Miss Margaret Wilson and the rest of the faculty, the pupils of 307 have in all re . pect successfully overcome all difficulties and have reached the completion of their Junior High Sch ool term.

The thirty- even timid 7B's who entered in February, 1934 of whom only twenty remain, chose for their president the fir t semester Robert Worley and following him in 7A Billy Doran.

In 7 A the home room was fortunate in having a class president elected from their fold. Also during thi semester the students regr etfully received the rec og nition of having the fewest subscriptions to the Greenleaf and were presented a horseshoe fo r better luck.

The suceeding president were in order Faye Pi ckell, Delores Moran , Richard Michel, and Wayne Scott.

The first opportuni t y to display their dramatic ability was in the play entitled ''Christophers' Orphan " starring RichaJJ Michel. Howard Yates and Wa yne

Scott have since then also proven \ their talent. · L ee Nolan and I Howard Yates have played in the band and Richard Michel is a m e m b e r o f t h e advanced orche tra. Lorai ne Hohn tein, Lily Playford and Ralph Lamb are in the Glee Club .

In 9A, 307 has had the opportunity of having the ice President of Boys' Civic League, Richard Michel, and three chairmen of standing committees, Joe Aguirre , Bessie Grunger, and Delores Moran. They were also fortunate in having ten other persons wearing badges who served as committeemen. Bessie Grunger was on the Greenleaf staff while Cassie Tapley was the home room reporter.

Our tale is nearly over and commencement exercises will bring it to an end. We will soon arrive at our goal and our activitie will merely be but memories.

An average of ab out nine pupil s hav e always been on the chola rship roll in the home room. Billy Doran, Be sie Grunger, and Delores Moran have never had below an average of a two and have been on the scholarship roll every semester. Of the three, Bessie Grunger ha had the best set of grades at one time.

LEAGUE ELECTION

Election day was held May 24, 1937. The officers who were elected are as follows:

Girls Civic League Officers

Doroth y Tilton, 105, President.

Phyllis Overman, 105, VicePr es ident.

Jean Smith, 308, Secretary.

Boys Civic League Officers

Wayne Keim, 107, President.

Richard McMahon, 222, VicePresident.

Eugene La wson, 107, Secretary.

We congratulate them on their victory.

Whittier marches on. Each year about 350 pupils march out of the portals in to high scho ol.

Durin g this successful march of pupils Whittier has seen many things including good and bad Civic Leaguers. The presidents and their cabinets are a great help, but we must remember a small group of people cannot and are not supposed to carry the burden of keeping such a large school in order; therefore every pupil, 7th or 9th grade, should help in making Whittier a great school.

A TRIBUTE

Saturday. April 10, Whittier faculty and student body suffered a loss, such as hasn't occurred many times in Whittier's history. Herbert Davis Jr., an honor student of the 9A class, died af te r a brief illness of only a few da ys. He was a member of the band, and was well liked by all his fellow classmates.

This is a loss, which the pr('sent 9A's and other good friends of his , will always have a remembrance of.

The 9A home rooms took donacions with which they purchased a floral piece, which represented a wheel with one broken spoke, having the inscription' '9A class" on tne top. The other spokes were of carnations and the wheel of lilies and roses. His home room and the band each took up separate collections for floral pieces also.

We again reiterate that he will be missed by all.

HISTORY OF HOME ROOM 110

In ~he fall of 1934, thirty-four freshies wandered around in the I corridors until they found home room 110. Miss Wilson greeted them with a smile and seated them at tables

After a few weeks they got used to going from one cl-ass to another, and having bulletins read in the morning. Now they are 9A's.

The tallest boy in 110 is Dale Burleigh. He is also the youngest pupil. Marie Bailey is the talle s t of the girls and weighs the most. Bettylee Sherwood is the shortest in 110, with Clarence Heidenreich coming next.

Sixty-five pupils have entered during the six semesters, and twenty-two of the orginal thirtyfour 7B's remained.

Let's go to a carnival, shall we? It's quite a large one and we can have loads of fun learning a ll about the different participants. T his carnival has thirtyeight member s two hav ing been addeJ since they first pitched camp in September, 1934. Let's go around and see the sights.

The first thing we discover is that they have a leader, who is Mi ss Alice Dee. They also vote for presiden ts twice a year. These are the ones they have had:

7B , Alan Krieger

7 A, Willa Van Buskirk

8B, Lillian Horn

8A , Jack Gut.hrie

9B , Charles Fahnestock

9A ; John L a rson

!\ha! Here is a baseb all game. We see the boys in our carinval playing against a carnival which is a year older. But, that doesn't bother us any. Our boys beat them, although they admit it was rather a close game. An d then we held a title of "school champs."

P. S. I might add that our

supreme pitching of Howard Debus.

Why, they even have a paper. But they only have one person on the staff in this carnival. She is Orletha Gardner, who is 9A Editor. And they have three printers, Ruth Delehant , Du an e Holman, and Ralph Mosher.

Now , what do we see? Oh, six girls and two boys who sing in the glee clubs from our particular carnival.

The next attraction is the oldest pupil, Billy Bowlin , and the two youngest , Ruth Delehant and Orletha Gardner.

We also discover that they have class o fficers. Here are the ones they have had: Lois Ailes, 7A president; Howard Debus, 8B treasurer; Bett y Brown, 8A v ice-president; Willa Ann Van Busk irk, 9B secretary.

The y also have a Civic League. Eleven pupils hold badge besides Lois Ailes, chairman of the girls office committee and Jack Guthrie, secretary of the boys civic league.

HISTORY OF HOME ROOM 209

The tallest girl and boy of 209 are Ruby Thomas and Willard Coles. The shortest pupils are Eunice Venter and Don Duncan. During the six semesters at Whittier, fifty-five pupils have entered our home room but only 19 of the original number have stayed here six semesters. We are quite the Civic League home room , having eleven badges and three chairmen or officers .

Willard Coles has acquired the honor of having the highest scholarshi p. The following pupils have been elected home room presidents during the three years stay at Whittier.

7B , Richar d Wright

7 A, Murra y Min thorn

(Both of thesP- boys have since moved out of the Whittier district.)

8B, Willard Coles

8A , Earl Lampshire

9B, Roger Ha geman

9A , Ru th Horner

Jeannette Bolar has held office as secretary and president of the class and Bud Deeds is the present class treasurer

The two youngest pupils of 209 are Mickey Beirbower and John I Brand.

Ruth Hammond and Herman Glanz hold the title of weighing the most but Eunice Venter and John Brand can't quite make the grade for they are noted for being the ones weighing the least.

Wa yne Christopher and Bud Deeds are now on the Greenleaf Printing staff. We have seven girls and four boys in the Glee Clubs. There are 19 boys and 18 girls in the home room at the present time. The total weight of the girls is 2,0 92 lbs. but the boys have them beat (a little bit) with 2,233 lbs.

We have had two broken bones during three y ears ( we're doing pretty well). The number of inches in height of the girls is 1, 117 inches and the boys beat once again with a total of 1, 227 inches.

HISTORY OF HOME ROOM 212

As the day for school to begin in 1934 drew near, a group of children became nervous, thinking of the vague days ahead of the m in the enormous building called Whittier Junior High School. Included in this group were some forty pupils who were to have room 212 for their refuge in the next three years.

After the y became settled our freshies decided that junior high wasn't so bad and they began to take an interest in the different activities around the school.

Today the girls have won seven certificates in baseball, cricket , and kickpin . If you ask me, Mae Spaedt, their star pitcher, should be given three-fourths of the credit for these championships.

Mae Spaedt and Florence Johns also won a paddle tennis championship.

The home room presidents for the six semesters have been as follows:

7B, Mason Meyers

7A, Marlin Belote

8B , Edith Hartman

8A, William Busch

9B, Mary Rabel

9A , Billy Damann

The only pupil who has held a class office is June Gakel, who was vice-president of the 9B Class.

Herbert Davis seemed to take the prize for scholarship average. He also gained the most weight in six semesters.

Betty Durham is the youngest pupil. She is thirteen.

Maynard Schutte weighs the least of all the pupils.

Four boys and four girls war ble in the glee clubs.

George Andreas, Harold Hudson and Raymond Risher are the Greenleaf printers and John Fox represents the Greenleaf staff.

So this semester we end our junior high school career with regret. We only hope that the · 'fre shies'' who take our place, will have such a swell time as we have had.

Have you ever heard of a cow going to school ? Evidently Harlan Baker, 105, seems to think so. In 9B English one da y they wPre making sentences w ith past participles. His sentence was, "Phil's cow , being left behind, went to school." Leaving out what he thought was the past participle his sentence was, "Phil's cow went to school." My, my , Harlan, may be you had better go to school more instead of the cow.
