JANUARY 17, 1945 A Cold Mistake •

Did You Ever Try To Dance?

By K athryn Barnes and Gravel Ger,tie ( An almost true story)

Did you ever sit on the side lines of a dance floor and watch the couples dancing by, feet moving together following each other so perfectly? You think to yourself, "Gosh, I'll never be able to dance. " You sit there brooding for a while when . a friend comes up and asks you to dance. Your mortified thoughts whirl ,t hrough your head and you feel silly but some instinct makes you accep,t.

If have ever danced you know the floor is most of the time like a sheet of ice.

You go out there and your partner mumbles something about two steps this way, one back and turn, •but your ears are ringing so badly it sounds like i.t's coming from miles away.

For awhile you slip and slide back and forth.

Then finally you catch on and it's wonderful butoopps-what's that? Your partner turns a different way than he was supposed to. You stare at him but he just laughs and says he's teaching you a new step. With Furrowed brow you painfully try the new step and at l'ast you catch on.

This continues for a while and you think back to when you were sitting ,o n the side-lines and you see a friend sitting there. You ask them to dance and thus another person learns the art of dancing.

Have you ever tried to dance? Why not try it sometime? It's fun.

One cold wintry night as the snow sifted through the trees I started out to choir practice with my brother Ronald. The sidewalks were all isy so we walked in the s,treet. I should say slid in the street because it was quite slick. When we reached my girl friend's house (she wishes to remain unknown so I'll refer to her as Gravel Gertie), she was all ready and we hurried on in the cold to the church.

As we reached it, half frozen, we hurried to the door. Alas-as we tried to open it we found it locked. "Darn it, it's so cold out here," said Gertie.

"Yes, isn't it?" I replied as my left ear fell to the ground and I absent-mindedly picked it up sticking it back on my head. (Don't tell anybody but I got it on the wrong side. That's why I have two ears on one side.) We tried to open the other doors but they were locked too. We we.Qt back to -the side door again. "I guess we'll have to wait for Mr. Megahan (the choir director). Maybe he'll have a key." (Otherwise we wouldn't have waited for him).

P retty soon we looked around, startled for a moment, when we saw our choir director, Mr. Megahan. (Who wouldn't be startled!) We told him the door was locked so he started knocking.

"All the lights are on in the church. I can't understand where the janitor is," put in Mr. Megahan. "Are you sure it's locked?" He tried to open ,the door but he couldn't budge it.

After what seemed a half hour of freezing the old janitor appeared and shoved open the door.

"Why," questioned Mr . Megahan, "was the door locked?"

Mary Ann Schleiger --0--

Who's News Girl The girl we have this time is from home room 304. Her weight is 105 lbs. and her height is 5 ft.

1 in. Her pet peeve is doing dishes. Her favorite sport is basketball and her pals are Jackie Waltermire and Charlene Fuller. Her hair is blond, eyes blue, and her best subject is .type. She has a nice personality and is liked by all. That's right-Jean Munson.

Boy Our boy this time is liked by all. He is in home room 105. His height is 5 ft. 4 in. and he weighs 120 lbs. His favorite sport is football and his pals are Wallace Barnett and Dick Petty. H is pet peeve is doing algebra. His eyes are hazel and ·h is hair is dark brown. He is now president of his home room. I'm sure you've guessed him by this time- Harold New Ville.

"Locked? " said the janitor "It wasn't locked."

That shocked us to pieces but I guess it was our fault for being such weaklings.

(Our deepest appologies to Mr. Megahan but Gertie and I had to get a little life into the story) --0--

"IF" If I could take "arithmetic" In capsule form . . . . What fun!

I'd never make a shameful grade, l'd always have a ONE!

Library Notes

If I could drink my "English" down In half a glass of water,

6,837 fiction books had been checked out of the library up until Christmas vacation. 2,542 of the non fiction books had been checked out. We received 126 new books and 8 were rebound.

My parents would be proud of grades Made by their darling daughter!

Last Minu te Items

"Oh boy, three whole wonde rful, beauti ful days of vacati on," said Dip gleefu lly, as she and Corny were walkin g home from Bellin gton.

Bellin gton is what is known as pupils ' prison or, in more friend ly words , school .

"Yea," mutte red Corny as he kicked a stone lying on the sidew alk.

"Well, don't sound so disapp ointed . I know how you'll miss walkin g to scienc e with that little blonde snip, Mary Lou Hende rson," pouted Dip. Corny with expres sion uncha nged, declar ed, "Aw, you're ju.st jealou s. Beside s, I don't like blonde s."

Dip grinne d and said, "I know you don't, Corny . I was just teasin g you. Let's see your grades , Corny . Here's mine. "Corn y drew the unwan ted grades out of his pocke t and hande d them to Dip. Dip scann ed the ",two's " and "three 's" w~th laughi ng eyes, and then with the · deligh t of a small child exclai med, "Oh, Corny , a 'one' in algebr a. I can't believ e it."

Corny with chin in air and a look of pride on hi.s freckl ed face said triump hantly , "Well, what do you expec t? Corne ilus J . Barto n, the man with the mecha nical mind. " "Well ," said Dip a bit disgus ted, "Some times I think you must have some of the screw s loose in that mecha nical mind of yours, Mr. Barto n." She ran up the porch steps and slamm ed the door, leavin g Corny standi ng on the sidew alk in front of her home .

That evenin g in the Donne ll's living room, Mrs. Donne ll was lookin g over Dip's grades .

That is they were suppo sed to be Dip's. Mr. D onnell was readin g the latest issue of "Time " magaz ine and over in the corner , curled up by the spacio us firepla ce, sat Dip, trying despe rately to finish the pair of socks she was knittin g for Corny .

A startli ng laugh rang out from Mrs. Donne ll's . side of the living room as she exclai med, "Why, Dip dear, I didn't know you had metal itrades at school , and gettin g a grade of 'one' in i.t too. " "Mom , I don't have me-!! Dip's laugh ter rung out like the belb on St. Paul's tower.

"Oh, Mo.the r, I'll bet those are Corny 's grades , and he has mine. We forgot to give them back.

Corny has home ec and a 'one' to boot."

She snugg led down deepe r in the big cha:r and sighed a sigh of satisfa ction as she finishe d the last stitch on the big socks.

"Well, I guess I'd better go over and g ive Corny his grades . I'll bet his folks'l l never quit teasin g him about being in home ec."

Dip called goodb ye to her folks from the front door and went out, still laughi ng a,t the misha p.

But, there' s one thing she didn't remem ber, that mome ntari,l y, to all appea rances , she had been a memb er of -the metal trades gang.

THE WHITTIER GREENLEAF Chatter

rows of girls. H e turned to my row and said "Don't leave me fella's." B et he was scared.

Also on the Wednesday night toll was Donald McGonegal. He danced with short Elaine K aravas.

They made quite a good pair, didn't they?

The other day in third period arithmetic, Emma Kuiper, a n d JoAnn Crosier were going to have a test in social studies fourth period, so instead of doing arithmetic they studied their social studies. They got by with it, luckily.

The girls are starting a new fad (Oh no, not that) . They are making their •business a barber shop. They take their hair on top and snip it off. Resurlts-we- 1-1 that's beside the point.

Betty Hanson and her cousin, Norma Van Winkle, a former Whit,tierite now of H allenburg, Kansas, had a hillarious time ice skating during vacation. I take i,t they spent a few days on pillows. Must say I can sympathize with ,them. My feet lay in one corner of the pond, my arms in another. I prob"ably looked like an octupus.

Here's a cute little tongue twister I thought you might like. Thi s is ,the way it goesA skunk sat on a stump The stump said the skunk stunk But the skunk said the stump stunk.

Congrats to Wilma Stier for the cute new baby sister. Hope she takes after W ilma.

Mrs. Ross' fifth period gym class were terrified when a mouse appeared in the dressing rooms.

Poor little thing. P robably got lonesome over vacation.

John Hall of 314, had quite a time -recovering a fork he had dropped in the waste-paper basket.

H is whole upper fono was in the basket. Good target for a sling shot, eh?

Well, kids, we'll say goodbye for now.

Greetings, little pounds of butter and all other things t hat spread. A jelly good day to y,ou all.

The other day in 210 (tha,t noisy newswriting class) Arlene Glantz (the new B ob H ope of Whittier ) decided the girls should have a lesson in Home Ee. So-o when little Mrs. Maher went out of class Miss Glantz planted her squeaky li,ttle self into teacher's chair. Arlene, we enjoyed t he lecture immensely.

If you heard a crash in Home Ee. second period don't worry. It was nothing. Miss Dee just made JoAnn Crosier spit out her gum. (It was bubble gum) It never fa ils! Every day when Miss Zamzow comes into sixth period it's "Who's making a ll this racket? " Then it is as quiet as a mouse. It's a wonder her ,t hroat doesn't get sore .

It seems as if every 1time that the newswriting class calls Ruth Starkel to interview her she is having a test in algebra. (I'll bet she likes tha,t ) Perhaps some of you have noticed a small paper being read by many pupils. It goes by the name of "The Daily Foo." The paper was started by three or four pupils who printed it by hand when they had time. Printed by hand the editors wt!re too lazy to print many copies. The last issue was mimeographed.

It is a publica.tion w:hich, although the name implies a daily paper, is printed on the average of once a week . l,t is a very large paper having ten subscribers.

The price is one cent p er issue. In case you don',t know, the editor is Weldon Baker, commonly referred to as the "Foo" or "Mrs. Foo" or just "Mother Baker."

Some of the artices are "Fiction and Facts fr.om Foo's Almanac." "The Russians have proved It" and other things of little interest to anyone. , Here are some comments. "A crazy paper by a crazy guy. " "Anyone who subscribes to this wonderful corney short and silly paper is crazy. (I am the number one subscr iber) " "Unanimous" "If you ask · me it's the b iggest waste of paper in the school. The cr ummiest j,okes in the world are included."

"It isn't worth the money (If you are good, you can get by wi,t hout paying for it)." All in all we think it's a very good paper.

If you want to know why Bruce Bar,t on is down in the dumps lately it's because he lost his pants in Metal trades.

P. S. For inside dope ask Bruce himself.

I'll ·bet that some of you wondered why we d idn't go clear outside when we had fire drill the other day. Well , the reason was that, it was muddy out there.

A Hobby Mary Lou Carr of 302 has ,a hobby of collecting salt and pepper shakers and so far has 180 ·sets. She recently received a set from Ciasablanca.

They are 50 caliber machine gun shells with the powder removed and holes bored in them. The same Seebee has sent her a set from litaly where he recently was. When he went back to California t:) be sent another place, here came a set from 1there. They were silver horse's heads. Now •h e is in Hawaii. Just recently he has ·s ent some from -there.

Chit-Chat Was Vera Wi lkens' face red when she walked out of her third peri,od cl1ass and discovered that her head band w,hich •s he w,ore in second period ,home ec. class, was still on her head!

Maybe some of you wondered what that peculiar smell was coming from 310. The ninth grade science classes are studying chemistry. They were haviing an experiiment using sulphur and it caught on fire 1and smelled "erful."

A few days before Christmas Norma Rustermier's pet rabbit "Sassy" became the proud mother of two baby bunnies, one snow - white and the other coal black. Congratulations!

M y Rabbit I have a lititle rabbit, As cute as cute can be, He's just a little fellow, And sometime3 he sleeps with me.

He nibbles at my finge r nails, He nibbles at ·my nose, He even crawls down to my feet, ·And nibbles at my toes.

My rabbit's name is Thumper Just Eke in the show "Bambi," I love my little rabbi,t And I'm sure he cares for me.

There was an assembly to award the certificates to the championsh ip teams in the tournaments. Jerry Adam3, one of 1Jhe coaches at the University, gave a talk on sportsmansh ip.

We have had a good semester. another good one!

People You Remind Me Of

Between us two there was only friendshipOnly !

A1though the thought my brother was a drip Hm-m-m-mAnd I thought her sister was a snip Ha-Ha !

One day we met while on a walk And although we weren't on spooking terms, We stopped to have a talk.

But all she talked about was her dear sister So I managed to change the subject And tell her how much I'd mi·s sed her.

She called me dar Ling and I called her honey "Your relaitive3 aren't so bad", I said, "But your sister is kinda funny."

"Well," she said, "your brother thinks he's smart," "Cause he happens to have some money".

As she turned, her nose was in the air And I thought as I hurried on my way "Well, at least I tried to be fair."

So we went •our way in a rage And our names were put in the Greenleaf As the inseparable friends of the age.

This Story is Decomposed by A rdath Wilcox Our friend, the community half-wit has just received his report card at school. Here is the who,l e tale written ~n his leafy diary. Dear Di-ery, I g,o t my grades today and I won't have no home no more if paw sees my grades. I got a «F " in "rilhmetic" so I gues3 I'm safe cause everyone knows that "F" stands fer "fine" (I hope a hope a -h ope) and I got a "C" in "grammer" so I guess I'd better work on my grammer cause "C" stands fer a "catastra,f ee". Then I got a "A" grade fer Society (Sociial) Studies and everyone "jest" knows thet "A" stand3 fer a apple. And I ain't brung no apple fer that ole teacher and in Jim-nas-ticks the "ole teacher" gave me a "B" and I jist won't stand fer her "sayi'n" I'm "bad" and basides I don't know no Jym no how. Mewsic is my faverite subject and I got a "D" In it.

The "mean ale" teecher give me a -"D" cause I sticked a worm in her desk . "D" must stand fer " darin"' Well fer gosh sakes look at the time.

Its 7: 65 and I got "grammer" to steady yet. Sew Loung Di-ery.

JANUARY 17. 1945 Playboy I :spend my nights in ,t he theater, I see every kind of show, I know aJ.l about the actors That anyone ever could know.

The actresses all know me, For I see them every day, I even know the cleaning women, They alway,s have something to say.

The ushers and the doormen Know and even like me, 'Cause when I make love to the ladies, They roll in the aisles w ith glee.

I can even go to . the dressing rooms To watch the actor s dress, But the more I see of the actr esses They like me less and less.

Why should they be afraid of me?

They run right out of the house, There must be something the matter with me, Is it that I'm a mouse?

-Ruth Ann Richmond

Selfish Minnie Minnie was a selfish child, She would often act like wild, Her cheeks were rosy, Her hair like gold, But Minnie was selfish So she often was told.

So fair a child!

Such pretty hair!

What rosy cheeks!

I do declare!

She must be a very happy child, Other folks thought She was mannered and mild.

But oh! if they only knew Or, could see her past And present in review, Their thoughts would turn And they would say, " What a shame," "A beautiful child that way."

Goodbye Whittier To the ninth grade pupils, Whittier has been not only a place of learning ,bu.t a place to meet new friend3 and have .fun w~th the old ones. Here some of us have learned to dance. We have enjoyed noon movies and assem'blies. We have been privileged to have clubs, parties and all th_ings that make up a happy time during noon hours and after school.

We give special thanks to the teachers, to Mis.s Hult and to Mr. Culler, who have made our stay a,t Whittier a ha,ppy one, and one of learning.

Blessed Be Fair Spring This is Spr,i ng, her breezes are blowing, Her silv'ry streams are now flowing , Spring birds begin to sing, Youthful voices start to ring, Gleeful hearts have now 'been roused, And April birds will soon be housed, But soon Spring must prepare to go, And come again after winter's snow, Until then we will sing Blessed b e fair Spring.

----WG---THE CREEK

A little un important creek, In the park where I used to play, Its little dam made a smiling mouth.

And ripples made its laughter gay.

And it was happy all the day.

The many rocks made its freckled face.

And children made i.ts banks more .gay.

And it was happy all the day.

THE WHITTIER GREENLEAF

How I Captured A J_ ap-Held Island Well, to ,begin with there was an island by ,t he name of Ush-Kush in the Pacific Ocean on whic,h there were many Japs. It was important thalt we get this island to use as a base for airplane3. But we couldn't even get near it and it was so heavily guarded. 8'0000000 I decided to t ry my hand at it. They took me as near ~he island a-s they dared go .and I set out from there in a life r.af t.

When I got pretlty near the island the J aps started firing at me \.vri th imachine guns bu,t as soon as a 1buLlelt made a hole in the ru,bber raft, I patched it up ,a gain. After a m inute or so I ran out of patdhes. Just then I remembered some p a ckag es of gum one of the sailors had given me so I p1opped a couple of sticks into my mouth a nd s,tarted to chew. Then I stopped up the holes with it.

When I finally reached ,the island it was nigh t . and I deicided to find a place to sleep. As I was walking along looking for a tall tree to sleep in , I happened to look up ii.n a very tall tree. There I saw a nice s-oft ,f ealther -bed so I climbed up into the tree and went ,t o sleep.

Next morning I had my breakfast in bed and about ten o'clock I got up . First I thought I'd better capture a few guns so that I would have some weapons. I stayed up in ithe tree .till I siaw a Jap coming. When he was right under the tree I t or e open t he d'eaither mattress on the bed and the feathers started floating down. The Jap thought it was sno,w ing and havi ng on his summer uniform, he froze to <lea.Ith. I climbed down out of the tree and ,g ot ,t he frozen Jap's gun. Next I needed some iammunition s.o I started looking for another Jap. Pretty S'oon I saw anot1her J ap coming along with a box of "ammo." I cut down about fi.f ty trees and bwillt a sound-proof room . Then I fired the one shot into the room and quickly dosed the door. I had just fini3hed doing this when the Jap ·c ame along. Of course he was t/he inquisitive type so ,when he saw the room he crept up slowly and opened the door. Suddenly there was a sh0it and the Jap, th.inking he had ibeen hit, fell down d ead. But whel'e had the shot ·come from? I will .tell you. When I fired the shot, the room (being sound-,proof) did not let tlhe sound of the shot out so when the Jap opened ,the door of the room the sound e3caped and t he Jap thought he had been shot.

I knew that ~hat small amount of ammunition would not be enough ,to capture the whole island so I dug a hole iand pl anted it. Then I went out to scout around . The next morning I came back to the spot ,wher e I had planted it. There was a tall tree loaded down 'With •buJlets so I packed them up in boves.

I knew I was going to need all of my str ength so I took some of Frank Sinatra's v itamin pills.

Then I took the gun and ammunition and started

out for the Jap base. When I was about there I st :::>pped and made some large sacks. Then I cont inued -o n my way .

It was dark when I reached the Jap camp.

I noticed that there were some trees around the edge of the camp, so I sneaked around and tied the sacks on the trees. Next I started to shoot at the Japs in the camp. They knew that they were surrounded so they all ran to tlhe edge of the · camp and clii.mbed the trees. All itha.t I had to do then was g,o around and shake the trees and le,t the J,aps fall into the sacks. Then I tied the sacks up and used the Jap radio to call fue U. S .

Navy. Then they came and got the Japs and took me back ,t o ,the good ole U.S.A. There I lived happily ever after till I died of old age.

This s,tory was stretched by Joan Hosfield.
