THE GREEN LEAF

MR. CHARLES L. C LLER

Before assuming the duties of assistant principal, ~11ss SEL-:\TA A. HULT had won, as a class room teacher, the admiration, appreciation and confidence of the entire Student Body. In her new office she has merited every confidence placed in her. 1n just the one semester she has endeared herself to every girl by her unusual ability as a thorough, kindly and sincere adviser. ::\1iss Hult is an Assistant Principal of whom Whittier is justly proud.

Miss MATDE Rau SEAU, who was the first Assistant Principal of the "Whittier Junior High School, contributed much to the organization '. of the new school. Sh e was kind, helpful and understanding, and during her stay in Whittier she won the respect and confidence of all with whom she came in contact. At the close of the first semester Miss Rousseau was transferred to the po:;;ition of Principal of the new Randolph School.

A Lively Party

The moon was hining brightly on the silvery now which lay on the hills and in the valley . Betty, dressed in her best frock, was waiting anxiously for the sound of the sleigh which was to carry her to a party. She had counted the days until the night had come for the party.

As she heard the sleigh come oYer the crisp snmY she slipped on her heaYy coat and called, "Goodbye, mother. I hope you won't be lonesome ''" hile I'm gone."

"G oodbye . daughter. I will try my best to be happy. Be careful that no harm will come to you ." replied the little lad~· as she "·ent on with her sewmg .

Climbing into the sleigh B etty shouted. ' All right: folks. Let's go!"

They glided along leaYing only two dark tracks in the sparkling now. The air was filled with laughter as the happy crowd tra ,·eled on.

Finally, the leigh came to a stop and eYerv one tried hi:-, be . t to be the fir st to get out 0£ tlw sleigh and into the warm hou e. ::\Iary. a jolly little ntaiden, had opened the door and greeted them heartily.

~ince Bettv was a ,·erv dear friend of Mary' she was chosen to help serrn the guests.

Manv remarks "·ere made while Betty 'serYed, but she paid no attention to them. She onlv w ent on . because she ,rnnted to fi°1lfill her dntY. A s she turned about trying her be:~t not to miss any one iu sen·ing. her silk dress caught on a nail which "·as in the ,,..all.

Ben. a YerY li ,·elv fello,Y. came at this moment' and ·wanted Betty to <lan ce Being pulled away ciu1ckly. poor Bett~· could not unhook her dress. :-:o it wa:-; torn do,Yn the front. .\ deep <·olor <"H llH' to her fa<'e and . turning

quickly, she left the room. Going into another room she ewed up her dres . She felt bad about it, becau e he knew her mother had tried her be t in a ,·ing, just to get this dress •and now it was ruined.

After having it ewed Betty went back into the kitchen to fini h her duty. Putting some coffee on a tray she went in to serYe once more. A s she entered B en eemed to be in her way again. This time he bumped her accidentally which ca used her to spill the coffee on her dress. Before Ben could get away B etty swung around and with great force struck him with the tray.

Being unable to get quieted the party broke up.

As the crowd left eYerything seemed to be upset, and there was no laughter as there had been when they arrived.

Bett y got into the sleigh without a word to anyone: while Ben was forced to drirn home.-11..\.mE HAHLER, 9A.
