AT THE SIGN OF THE GLOBED DOORWAY
Reassuringly he felt the cold steel of the clumsy Colt .3 in his coat pocket. He didn't want to do it, but a fellow couldn't buy food with buttons! He hadn't eaten for nearly two days and that silent gnawing in his stomach goaded him onward. His mind began a dizzy swirl as he thought back over the past few months. Always before there had seemed to be some odd jobs to give money for the bare necessities of life, but now, with the biting wind of the cold, windy, January weather blowing in his face, cutting through his thread-bare clothing, 1:ike felt lower th a n a worm in China . Suddenl y , his mind snapp ed back to the present. He had to go through with it. There seemed no choice.
Mike peered through the window. An elderly man was standing behind a counter in a heavy wire cage counting st a cks of bills, evidently getting ready to close up shop and return home to his chair by the fireplace with a wife and family. At the thought of such a scene a warm glow appeared in Mike's e y es and he sta r ed blindl y into space. All this had nearl y been his once, but that castle of dreams had toppled, and he had been underneath to feel every discouraging blow.
Blinking his e y e s, M i k e brushed his hand across his face as if to remove a fog. With a little tingle of uncertainty in his (Continued on page 7)
PAST,PRESE T,FUTURE
While riding down the trail of life
We've paused at Whittier Junior High, We lingered here for three whole y ears
And now it's time to say good-b y
We leave our friends and teachers
But in t he years to come, We'll think of them with fondness
And maybe visit some.
We're sorry now to leave the o]d Yet glad to try the new, We hope that you will think of us
As we'll often think of you. Underclassmen, we are speaking now
Directly just for you, Carr y on our Whittier s t andards
As we have tried to do .

SCOTT IRVINE RIDES AGAI
The silver comes among the sage, ight shadows purple blue, The cactus quivers in the wind, Coyotes howl anew.
Bandits creep among the hills Hor es neigh once more, And through the night with measured tread Hoof-beats sound o'er and o'er.
The sheriff struts along the street, The town is slumbering nigh, And I?,ight after night among the la n es
Scott Irvine goes riding by.
THE WHITTIER GREENLEAF
CLASS DAY
As the curtain rose on a dude ranch scene this morning at the class exercises the 9A class, who were seated on the stage, sang "The Last Roundup." The class president, Mary Alford, then gave a short speech. Some members of the girls glee club entertained with a number and then a skit, "I'll Be Hanged If Their Gonna Hang Me," was given. The all-boy cast included Frank Johns, William Gerdes, Eugene Nuss, and Harry Fox.
Next Norma Taylor played an accordion solo and a group of girls danced. The general atmosphere of the program was cowboy. The scenery was typical as were also the hats, songs, skit, and poems. An original p c em was then given by Darlew Fore .. man and Tom Watkins and Don Wiggans gave a rope stunt.
Next some 9A boys from the glee club sang a song. Last, Mr. Culler presented the honor and scholarship groups and Miss Hult gave the efficiency roll. Then "The Last Roundup" was sung once more and the class recessioned to strains played by the orchestra.
The following directed activities and we extend our hearty thanks to them for their gracious cooperation : Art, Miss Ralston, Miss McGrew, and Miss Ferguson; ;Music, Mrs. White and Mrs. Riley; Drama and the 9A Issue, Miss Peterson; Printing, Mr. Gammill; Luncheon, Miss M i 11 e r ; Arrangements, Miss Madsen ; Program, Miss Cross; Class Officer Adviser, Miss Mumford, Rope Tricks, Mr. Wells.

CLASS LUNCHEON
The class luncheon was centered around the theme of a roundup of nineteen sixty. Charles Taylor, toastm~ster of El Rancho, opened the meet-
ing. An instrumental selection was then artistically played by Helen Hemple and Amy Hock. ext Leroy Lamb told an amusing story and a play was presented which was directed by Darleen Foreman. Flora Kolb gave a reading directed by Mrs. Shike. The menu consisted of:
Beef Steak Baked Spuds
Beet Pickles Gr-een Beans
Wes tern Sunset Salad
Biscuits Jam
Butter Cowboy's Delight Rainbow Cake
Last the El Rancho Troubadours gave some musical selections and the group as a whole sang several songs.
Table decorations carried out the cowboy theme and red and gold motif. Ranch houses were placed at various places on each table and were surrounded by corrals which housed horses and standing about on the plain which was dotted with cactus. At each plate as place cards, were cowboy cuffs which were later autographed by the pupils.
THE END
Our school days here are now at end
'Tis time to say adieu
We drop our books and get our grades And start to work anew. We're mighty sad to say "goodbye,"
Yet anxious for the new, Farewell, all of you Whittier friends, We'll always be true blue.

spine he quietly slipped through the globed doorway. In the warmth of the bright room his timidity was replaced by a bold face. Quickly he stepped in front of the cage and thrust the beautiful but deadly weapon menacingly into the face of the keeper. But the words wouldn't come. His mouth went dry, and a lump rose in his throat.
Not a little surprised by the s u d d e n appearance of the stranger, the man slowly raised his head and stared bluntly at the gun.
"Four-fifty. No more," he said counting the money out. The gun clattered on the counter as Mike smiling with the money in his pocket, hurried from the pawn shop. • -Gerald Pease, 305

ANOTHER HECTIC MOMENT
"Well gee whillikers! You'd think a fell er had most all night and the next day too to wait, the way she's takin' her time. Why I could iron a shirt in half the time she's taken. Why there's only a little spot on it anyhow from the luncheon this noon," muttered James Milbourne Andrews as he gazed disconsolately out of the window. He waved as some of his fell ow students passed wearily by and tried to look nonchalant.
"Say, ma!" he yelled down stairs. "Can't you hurry with that shirt? Why most all the fellers almost have already gone to the class show." A faint, indistinguishable murmur floated up the stairs-something about being patient or "you won't get to go." As his glance again fell on the deepening outdoor twilight, he beheld Red Smith, his favorite chum, waving frantically to him. He cautiously raised the window a trifle and poked his head out.
"Hi," said Red in a stage whisper. "Say aren't you goin' to the class show? Most all the kids are gone."
"Waitin' fer my shirt," mumbled James.
"Well say, I just wanted to ask you a little somepin' anyhow. Well say, do those girls expect a man to be dignified ? I thought you'd have fun but when I left home why Ma, she said I was to behave like a little gentleman! Well say, huh, do you know about it?"
James nodded his head vigorously. "Yeh, but here comes Ma 10
with my shirt. Wait a sec an' I'll be with you in a minute-if she don't make me wash or change my socks." With these parting words, James Milbourne Smith cracked his head soundly on the window and disappeared moaning with pain. Presently two spic and span boys marched proudly down the street toward town whistling gayly, proud that they were only one-half hour late.
THE LAST ROUNDUP
It seems centuries since we w2re all breaking the rules at dear old Whittier but in reality it has been fifteen years sir ce our graduation day.
The good ship Jenness, ccmmanded by C a p t a i n Frank Johns, came into port today and as it docked, that good old salt of the sea, LeRoy Lamb, was seen in the crow's nest, seasick as ever. ewspaper reporters, Katherine Parker and Lorraine Pierson, were seen madly trying to get an interview with him. They failed, however, for Policemen Jacob Loos and Floyd McGimsey were ably keeping back the mobs. When movie star, Moynaise Miller, appzared on the upper deck, e v e r y o n e cheered. Paul Browne, her manager, was ever present to see that nothing happened.
Barbara Mack, ulterior decorator, has been spending the summer months in the forest regions of Colorado. Forest Ranger, Tom Watkins, has been keeping within range of her cabin, 'tis heard.
We are more than proud to hear that Lucile Cozad, lawyer, was the first woman ever to run for the presidency of the United States. Her opponent was Scott Irvine, who ran on the democratic ticket. Ballots have not all been counted yet because there was a slight mix-up in the counting board, run by Garth Wiltshire, Gerald Pells, and Earl White.
Dr. Delbert Johnson, M.D., has discovered a new "no recover anesthetic" which nurse Norma Taylor will assist him in trying on his patient, orma Bomberger, who is suffering from dislocation of the brain.
Frances Hart, who is head dietician at th2 new agel Hospital for the Absentminded, will speak at the Schwartz Auditorium in the near future on the subject of "Strychnine and Recovery." Kathryn Kildow and Betty Deem, well-known matrons and society leaders, will sponsor the talk.
Dr. Tom Morey, dentist, has opened a new office on Fifth Avenue, with nurse Esther Schwindt in attendance. While operating on patients he runs a movie on th2 wal l.
J a c q u e 1 y n Durnell, opera singer, has just agreed to star in Theodore Talle's latest stage play, "Five and Nine is Ten," opposite Eugene Wilson, baritone.
V i r g i n i a Cummins, Betty Duncan, and Betty Gundy, models, were seen at the front tables at the Kindsvater night ( Continued on page 14)
THE WHITTIER GREENLEAF
Band
Here ' s a real fine cowboy band, The finest in this western land, All kinds of horns, even oboes, Thrill you clear down to your toes.
Girls Glee Club
These singin' cow girls, With hair all in curls, Their voices not strange Ring out o'er the ran~e.
Greenleaf Staff, Reporters and Printers
Here are the herdsmen, O'er the prairies they roam To round up the news And bring it home.
Boys Glee Club
Tenor, alto, and even bass
Lead us in a merry chase, They keep us so well entertained We give our attention without being chained.
Advanced Orchestra
They play very good tunes, Echoing through the sand dunes; Mrs. White is their leader, Let's salute them , dear reader.
Hom e Room Captai ns
They're the foremen of it all Whether it's work or usin' a ball, They have done some splendid work, Never were they known to shirk.
9A
Offi cer , Ad v i ers, Committee Cha ir men
The brains of the 9A class they arc, urpassing all by far, by far; Officers all of great renown, On the plains of Whittier they were found.
Bo
y Delegates
Down to assembly they go With pencils moving to and fro, Roundin' up the western chatter, Take it back with hoofs a-clatter.
Girl Del ega te s
On with their stirrups, Off with their pumps, Here are the cowgirls Who help us over the bumps.
Home Room P resident s
Up in front they always ride With a heart chuck full of pride; I really envy those fine guys Because they're so all-fired wise.
THE WHITT I ER G REENLEAF
Civic League Officers and Chairmen
They try to help us keep our places
A we gallop off on merry chase , They almost always do what' right, They keep their tempers, never fight.
Usher and Office Committee
They're as good as signs to us
Whether we're afoot or on a bus, Information is gladly given
Just as sure as I'm a livin'.
Social Game Committee
Our noontime pastime Is in their hands; It's the best in the city, And the best in the land.
Safety Committee
Don 't you gallop quite so fast, If you do you'll get there last, They'll stop you and slow you down
Which'll turn your face a reddishbrown.
Playground Committees
They use a cactus for a ball
Tryin ' to be tough and all, Really they are quite true blue, Fair and square in all they do.

THE LAST ROUNDUP
(Continued from page 10) club. Miss Cummins was dressed in metallic cloth, while Misses Duncan and Gundy wore black. George W orlien, their escort who belongs to the Gerdes escort bureau, was heard discussing "why a pig's tail curls." William Gesch has but lately developed the theory that this phenomenon is caused by the intensity of the sun's rays on Fifth A venue.
While drawing up at the William's Beauty Parlor, Betty Higgins had a flat tire. Gerald Pease, wall street politician, was helping her fix the car, undignified as it may seem, when Bob Rader from the Selder's Garage came and it was fixed.
That new song hit, "When It Rains It Snows," by Eugene Nuss seems to be achieving quite a place on the Strayer Hit Parade.
Betty Crabtree, companion to Madame Dorothy S w a d 1 e y, spent the summer in Europe studying how grease built Rome.
Elsie Kaltenberger, nurse and ace swimmer, won the Olympics Swimming Title. LeRoy Haar also won a medal.
Pearl Shore, phy& ed teacher at the Pierson School for Undignified girls, was seen in the Greenburg department store buying diamonds. We wonder whom she's planning to propose to next.
Wesley Hayes is now the main soda jerker at the Deem Drug Company. He was also inventor
of the electric soda fountain which replaces the drinking fountain.
Jacob Bruns, · phizz ed teacher, has started a new course of study for public schools which is called "The Emmitretiases of Estophitoismally" o r "T h e Study of how air gets out of footballs."
Amy Hock, secretary to Congressman Harry Eckert, captured an unknown burglar in her apartment. While she left to call the police, the burglar left by the window.
DaJlas Botcher has just completed a n o t h e r masterpiece which consists of a black piece of paper with two white lines in the center. This he has called, "Black bear eating celery in a graveyard at midnight."
Well, guess I must close my meandering, and go to Judge Darwin Fredrickson's trial.
JUST IMAGINE-
LeRoy Lamb six feet tall.
Betty Lou Jelinek with black hair.
Charles Taylor not saying, ''Can we use a pencil?''
Betty Gundy not writing notes. Bob Millhollen not in trouble.
Tom Morey to be Tom Lessy. Fay Rumbaugh with small feet.
Betty Bohl without her quiet manner.
Carmen Quackenbush quiet and dignified.
Jacquelyn Durnell very short.
Frank Johns not making funny remarks.

THE WHITTIER GREENLEAF
BUNK HOUSE BUDDIES
Well folks, since the time has come to head for the big corral, we're goin' to have a last round up to see what the incoming 9A's have in store for us in the way of talents and unusual abilities. A few of the singers will be Edith Hutchinson, Betty Fees, Catherine Cooley, Russell Sloan, and Chick Rawson. Two fine pianists are Joyce Stuve and Jay Hayes.
The artistically minded people are Mary Louise Cousins anJ Billy Griffin, and if you like the drama, please see Dick Lewellen, Laura Dee Forney, and the Healey twins. Among the athletes are Marie Bouman, Gene Kirkendall, Charles Ward, Joe Geist, Alma Telecky, Sylvia Betz, and Earl Moses.
Skaters, those people who glide so smoothly across the flo0r while all of us tenderfeet are falling all around are Gloria Green and Eddie Smith. Outstanding of the tap dancers i Mary Louise Brodie, and last but not least, the jitterbugs will be Jane Leonard arid Leslie Jean Brown.
HARD LUCK
I came into the house the other day,
And as usual started something to say,
When all of a sudden I slipped on the rug,
And fell to the floor with a cracking thud.
I ventured into another room
And stumbled over the big old broom;
After counting ten and taking a seat, I thought I smelt some kind of meat; When going to see if I was right, I tangled my foot in the string of my kite; When eating my supper and spilling the stew, I suddenly reailzed I'd lost my shoe, When taking my bath I scratched a sore. And wished with all my heart there'd be no more; With body swollen and heart of lead, I'm telling you, I was ready for bed.

IN HIGH SCHOOL
Eastward and westward, Everywhere you go, Northward and southward, You'll see folk you know.
Slap 'em on the back, Say, "How do you do?"
And fer heavens sake don't snub them
Because they'll snub you too.
Ranch work has been helpful, We're mighty sorry to go; But no matter where we may meet We'll try to say 'hello.'
Eastward and West ward, Everywhere we go, We'll be seein' all the folk That we used to kno'-'i.
SNOW
As I woke up in the morning And felt an ir.y chill, I looked out of my window
To see snow on the window sill.
It kept falling faster and faster And much to my delight, Against the house were many drifts
That had piled high through the night.
The once bare ground was covered
With a beautiful blanket of snow, And as I looked I wanted Out into the scene to go.
There's something about snow that's different, The way it falls slow or fast, But there's only one thing wrongIt always melts at last.
