9A LUNCHEON
After a most enjoyable class day program in the auditorium and their morning classes, the 9A's attended the customary luncheon held in their honor, January 20, 1938.
The decorations were very beau iful. On the tables were clusters of silver candles tied with bows of American Beauty color. Ribbons of American Beauty ran through the center of the tables. The nut cups were of silver with Amercian Beauty bows Altogether it was a very artist ic arrangement, and the 9A's give many thanks to the teachers who took up their time to decorate our tables so beautifully!
The luncheon consisted of beef loaf, potatoes au gratin, rolls, butter and jam, pear salad, and the crowning point was ice cream with lette rs "38" in American Beauty color, and cake.
After the luncheon, there was a short program. A flute solo was given by Robert Simmons of home room 107. Following that the class prophecy was read by Howard Stacy of home room 101. Last but not least, the entire class sang "Whittier, He re's to You . " Of course, Mrs. White's orchestra played a few selections, which were much enjoyed by all.
The rest of the time was spent in obtaining autographs of the pupils. The class all enjoyed it and were glad that they were all able to be together before going to senior high school.
Bonnie Bradley leaves her ability to grin at anything at anytime to anyone so blessed. John Schwabauer leaves his curly hair to anyone who might be lucky enough to get it.

CLASS HIS TORY
On Februar y 4, 1935, one hundred thirty-seven bew ildered pupils commonly known as "freshies" entered the portals of Whittier to be greeted by their home room teachers, Miss Jones, Miss Clark, Miss Madsen, and Mrs Ross respectively. During our enjoyable stay here many important events have taken place.
When we were in the 7th grade, the quiet game room was opened in 110 with the popular games of checkers, dominoes, and jacks. Since then the game room has been moved to the shops with the addition of ping pong, fiddlesticks, and more recently shuffelboard. When we were the so-called "freshies," Whittier had its first all-girl and all-boy operettas. The noon programs were also started during our three years here.
The Whittier faculty has been changed some since we have been here. Mrs Ross had taught here before but had just come

back when we entered and took one of our home rooms. Mr. Updegraft and Miss orton have entered as our home room teachers, with Miss Norton leaving. Miss McCormick, Mr. Wells, Miss Helen Madsen, Miss Veerhusen, Miss Ferguson, Miss ilcGrew, Mrs. Worrall, Miss Peterson, Miss Zamzow and 1iss Kahm in the office have joined the faculty in the last three years The Misses Keller, Osthoff, and Cruise were married during our stay at Whittier.
Perhaps it would be interesting to know that the middle western states are the birthplaces of most of the 9A's. Good old Lincoln has the rightful honor of being the birthplace for sixtyfour 9A's. Different towns in Nebraska are the birthplaces for twenty-four while Iowa represents four, Kansas two, Missouri two, Colorado three, Oklahoma one, Minnesota one, Wisconsin one, New York one, Texas one, and Russia and Germany have each claimed one.

A SAD STORY
Rushing to the mirror I beheld a large green streak on the back of my white organdy dress. There I was on the day of the Nine -A class graduation, ready to graduate in my dress and the streak-
What to do? I would surely turn my back to the audience sometime during the march. There was my coat, but that would look mighty peculiar.
Just the in.stan t we started to go on, m y eyes lit upon a piece of violet cloth in the wings. I snatched it, draped it around my shoulders, and walked nonchalantly on.
The usual ceremonies were presented. The only mishap was that the teacher didn't arrive with the diplomas. They waited ten minutes and then we marched off, and, as I walked, diplomas fell out of my cape (the purple cloth) As soon as I could, I tore the cloth off my shoulders. Nine-A diplomas fell every which way.
Mother had spoiled most of her wash the week before (including my dress), for the wash tubs had not been dry from the coat of paint father had given them.
A farmer was losing his patience and temper trying to drive two mules into a field when a local parson came by and said, "Don't speak like that to dumb
animals."

SO LONG, WHITTIER
Just think! We 're leaving in a couple more weeks, We do hope our grades don't have any leaks; We're leaving dear old Whittier junior high, We hope to return by and by . We remember when we were freshies green, You couldn't even burn us with a match and kerosene; Our first thrills were assembly and gym, And our enthusiasm is still not dim.
Now it's time to say goodbye My, we wish this were a lie, We'll be back to see our dear old friends, Though all goods things must come to ends.
FAREWELL
The 9A's at Whittier are very go od friends, But soon their days at Whittier will end; They're advancing on to a higher grade, We hope they rem ember the friends they made.

HISTORY OF HOME ROOM 107
On F e bruary, 1935, thirty-six young newspaper people presented themsel v es to their new edito r , Miss Ethel Jones. Since that time sixty-fi v e fine news hawks have come a nd gone until now only twenty-three of the orig inal staff remain. The chief reporters during these years ha ve been Phyllis Overman, Dorothy Tilton, F r ank Roeder , Ed w ard McNamara, Betty Shullaw and Mabel Kutche r Outside honors have been bestowed upon part of the emplo y ees of this g- r eat paper. Doroth y Tilton, Phyllis Overman, Helen Greenhalgh, Edward Mc amara, and Gayland Glass received president, vice president, and chairmanships of a fine ci v ic organization. The musical part of the office is vested in Betty Shullaw (who received one of the leads in the spring program), Margaret Stoddard, Betty Parker, Russell Jurg e ns, Bett y Anderson, Helen Gr eenh a lgh and Edward McNamara, for these reporters are all members of a glee club. We also have two mem-
bers in band and orches t ra, Max Egle y and Bob Shullaw.
The girls formed a sports team and won a championship in bas e ball. A few interesting_headlines have been printed d,uring our s t a y . Here are a few: "Ga yland Glass Pitches For Cit y Team and Shows Stuff in Grand Island Game." "Phyllis _ Overman , Society Editor, Picked as Radi o Announcer." "Harlan Baker, Ace Feature Writer, Recei v es Bad Injuries of Wrists and Arm After Being Thrown From a Horse While Trying to Beat the Deadline With An Important Scoop." "Two Reporters Turn Actress, Phyllis Overman and Dorothy Tilton Appear in School Play." "Max Egle y and Bob Shullaw, Both Excellent Musicians, Help Lead Minnesota Football Rally." Happenings similar to those mentioned ha v e occurred during our stay and we certainl y enjo y ed every minute of it. On the whole the staff has had a fine time both in wo r k and in pla y and they all w ish to thank everyone who has helped in making their stay an event to be remembered.

THE . NINE A'S
ALL HAIL CLASS DAY
The class day program is history now, but it will long be remembered. The orchestra under the direction of Mrs. White heralded the entrance of the 9A's with the playing of the class march. After this came "Annie Laurie" whose reputed beauty was "done proud" by the glee club. Miss Virginia •Stuermer then took the stand to make her speech as class president.
The Maj or Bowes program which followed was thoroughly enjoyable. Here it is: "Idilio," Janet Wetzel; "Whittier City," Dean Melson; "Brahm's Lullabye," Leona Lilly with Dorothy Carnahan accompanying; Soft Shoe Dance, orma Patterson and Poll y Schrader , accompanist; "Fishin'," Bo ys Quartet; "When Love Was Young," Ruth Manion a n d Helen Walker; "John Peel," Glee Club.
When the business at hand was finally reached, Virginia Stuermer read "Our Will ;" Miss Hult gave the honor roll and efficiency roll; and Mr. Culler read the scholarship roll. He also gave the "Welcome to Parents." Ending the program Mrs. White and the orchestra again pla yed the class march while the 9A's left the auditorium.
Special mention should go to Mrs. Pinney, class sponsor, who was in charge of all the plans for class day, including the program and luncheon arrangements. Other home room teacher who put th pupils through the final hoops include Miss Fer-

9A LUNCHEON SUCCESSFUL
Our Cullerful Circus! The title might suggest a good many tbi-ngs, but it could only suggest the good time had by the 9A's at their luncheon und er the Whittier Big Top. The circus was a novel and welcome idea.
Th e menu consisted of chicken loaf with relish, parsley new potatoes, dill pickles, rolls and butter, jam, and ice cream with cup cakes . The 9A's have the art teachers, with Miss Ralston in charge, to thank for the clay models of every phase of circus life, which were used as table ecor~tio ns.
In th€ after::!unch program, he " fasters of the Rin g" were iailed by Virginia S t uermer; 'E lephants" were given a big end-off by Margaret Marcy; Marilyn Pa ynter sailed through "The Flying Trapeze;" John Eberhart and Kevin Phillips were appropriately assigned to "A Pair of Clowns;" Frank Villanueba strutted through "The Great P.

WATCH FOR THESE
Since the 9A graduation takes away a great deal of our talent, we would like to acquaint you with the ones who have been left behind to carry on the high standard of Whittier entertainment.
The musically inclined ones come first. With a violin Floyd Pettigrew is tops, and Bill Holbrook, 308, and Eugene Curry can't be beaten with the drums. When playing upon a base horn, Jack Bair from 302 really sounds all right. Bill Welch of 207 will be seen playing the sliding trombone a lot, and we hope to see Billy Sterling and Scotty ~rvine with their French horns.
Vocal music ians are paced by 9B's, Kenny Neff of 310, Roger McNeil, Jack Tilton of 216, Jack Eisele of 302, and Bob Franklin, 304. George Johnson's bass solos will undoubtedly be greatly appreciated by all in future programs.
In the dancing field, Constance McBride leads the toe dancers, and the tap dancers are topped by Frederick Langenheim.
Some future Greenleaf stars are Stuart G o l d b e r g of 106, Charlotte Garrett of 304, and Dorothy James of 102.
Accordion players John Coulter of 310, and Norma Jean Taylor of 316 will appear often on your stage, but just as often Jane Leonard, Laura Blough, Elizabeth Smaha, Esther Michel, and Portia Eitel will be seen, as they are the most talented actresses that are left.
Many other future stars of the drama world are being left behind, but up and coming are those grand comedians I van Stern, Bob Duncan, who is replacing ''Tizzy Lish'' Diamond, and Charle "John Eberhart"
THE WHITTIER GREENLEAF
Cockrill. Don Horen is evidently to be the master of ceremonies in future programs.
In the sporting world Wilma Latta, Betty Coulter, and Thera Mayne can always be counted on to make & good show. The boys have quite a few worth their salt in Malcolm Allen of 304 , Jo h n n y Blumer from 1 0 6, Charles Taylor of 316, and Hoyt (Bud) Yowell of 320.

SOPHISTICATED SOCIETY
-1955-
The exclusive "Hotel D'Hamburger" has been the scene of many smart debonair society dinner parties. Among the elite we find such celebreties as Count and Countess Von Eberhart (a former clown in R i n g l i n g Brothers circus); Du chess Plutocrat alias Maryl ouise Goodwin who was escorted by Black Jack Joe (Gordon Johnson) and Prince Alpujarras alias Charles McCarthey alias Edgar Barratt with Prince Maharaza, known in her school days as Virginia Hanners.
Baron and Baroness BoogyBoogy were the guests of honor at the party given by that amiable, fine-feathered friend, Donald Duck. (Quack! Quack!)
The mad Russian, Rochester, (the lunatic of Jack Benny's program) completely bombarded and diminished the Merry Butchers of Redcap at the annual Spring Barn Dance held • at Pickle, Pickle Inc., the belle of old Kentucky. The square dance
Adelia Korella was tapped to order by that Harriet Hayes genuine hog caller, Kenneth
Helen Bennett I Greenwood.

HERO
The villain by a sand dune stood, A black cross on his clean white hood;
A cross that marked a robbers' band
That killed and plundered throughout the land. His eyes on the horizon were fixed, When' color of sand and sky were mixed:
A bunch of riders came a tearin',
The French Legion's uniforms they were wearin' ! He rode into camp with a loud enough scream, To wake even a corpse from the soundest dream;
''The Legion is coming, 'twill be a bad fight, But don't let them fellers put you to flight."
Then midst the yelling and roaring of guns, Up jumps the villain and away he runs; It looks like he's getting away in the clear,
B ut our hero is corning up from the rear.
They went on a while this way, And finally the villain chanced to say, "You bEtter drop back or I'll shoot you down dead; I'll drill you right through the head,"
But our hero had caught him and with his bare hand, He knocked the villain into the sand;
And before the rat could arise from the ground, Our hero had tied him up safe and sonnd.
When they came into camp that night,
THE WHITTIER GREENLEAF
The men were all talking about the fight; They had conquered the bandits and put them to flight.
And the Legion was reassured of their might.

TEN PRETTY GIRLS
There were ten pretty girls 1n Whittier School, And their sport was to be in a swimming pool;
Things like civics can be done, but their heart's set on fun, And education is "some fun" to these girls.

Congratulations to those boys and girls chosen by the school as their leaders for next semester! We, who are th·e present 9A class, fully realize the importance of these officers, who are n ot merely persons who wear an important badge number, but rather as persons upon whom is placed the responsibility of the school activities.
The results of the election held, May 23, are as follows: Girls: P resident. Mary Ellen Mc Far I and; Vice -P resident, Marian Herzog; Secretary, Betty Gary . The boys' representatives are: President, Duane Anderson; Vice-President, Kenneth Neff; Secretary, John Coulter.
We hope that the chosen officer s will carry on ou r work, and' 'transmit this school, not only, not less, but greater, better, and mo r e beautiful than it was transmitted to us."
Wallace Repetto: What's the row over at the carnival?
Jack Young: A fake dentist sold the fire-eater a set of celluloid teeth.
John Portman: Is this a public lake?

It would be nice if we could all possess, The trait8 of the girl delegates; With wit and brains their only tool, They solve the problem s of the school.
CLASS OFFICERS
