VOYAGE

IFor three long years our 9A sailors have struggled To keep their craft afloat; Now they are sailing to a different school And from there in a differen t boat.

They have sailed the stormy sea of studies And have tried to do their best ; They have faced the gale wi th all their buddies And with stood the hardest test.

We grieve to leave our fine home It won't be long till our 9B's t ou rooms, Will be sailing over there; Whittier, our Whittier, The rest of the school is hopi n g I But in our hearts they'll al ways That they'll find the wea the r loom, fair.

TO OUR CAPTAIN

We salute our beloved principal who has always measured up to being a true captain. Standing on duty at the helm, he has steered us over tranquil seas, avoiding ·the rocky shoals and stormy waters. As the gangplank is lowered and we take leave, there will be a cherished memory in our hearts of a wise, understanding, and benevolent captain.

In September, 1922, Mr. Culler became the principal of Whittier Junior High after ser ving at Lincoln High for five years as ac,sistant principal.

TO OUR FIRST MATE

We salute our beloved assistant principal, whose kindly attitude and helpful gestures have been life-savers to many. Her helping hand and encouraging words have helped us reach the crest of the wave. If for a moment we should struggle beneath the water, we will always remember the first mate as a lifesaver in our junior high days.

Miss Hult first joined Whittier when it was moved to its present location in the fall of 1923. After teaching Industrial Geography for five semesters, Miss Hult accepted the position of assistant principal in 1926.

GIRLS DELEGATES These girl delegates say how we should sail, On their good advice we can always rely; They're not afraid to pitch in and help bail, And a problem that's in a clove hitch they untie.

GREENLEAF STAFF With a spy-glass they strain their weather eye, The Greenleaf staff and reporters too ; From their stand on the ship's lookout so high, They seek the news for me and you.

9A ADVISERS, CHAIRMEN, CLASS OFFICERS Advisers and chairmen are some of these, The courses they chartered for class day has lots Of joy for us as we ride silver seas; The rest are class off'cers who've steered m a n y knots.

HOME ROOM PRESIDENTS They don't polish the brasses or scrub the deck, or sweep the horizon with telescopes ; They're home-room presidents, by heck, Full fledged captains who know the ropes.

BOY DELEGATES Midshipman these with their principles set, As to how a ship really should be run; So in delegate meeting together they go, And debate the problem till a side has won.
