MR. CULLER Whittier School, all of us, teachers and pupils alike are experiencing a feeling of great loss in Mr. Culler's retirement. He has been principal of the school since it was organized as a junior high school twenty three years ago and has been a great and good influence in the lives of the thousands of boys and girls who have been "his boys and girls."

We deeply regret his going but rejoice in the fact that he will have time now to enjoy life more leisurely w ith Mrs. Culler and engage in some of the other pastimes which are dear to his heart.

For besides guiding boys and girls he also loves to garden, to travel and to . make things with his hands.

Our wish for Mr. Culler is many years of happiness, health, and doing the things he loves to do.

Goodbye 9As We're all very sorry you're going away, We wish very much that you could stay.

But we'll long remember how bright you are, And let nothing our memories of you ever mar.

But since you're going we'll say with a sigh, Goodbye 9As, Goodbye, Goodbye.

Janet Shane (Youngest Pupil In 9A Class) On June the 4th of '32, Was born the little lassie Who - - Is baby of our class Tho young and small, She surprised us all, She never failed to pass, This baby of the class.

The Cover We wish here to express our appreciation and give credit to Robert Esquivel who so faithfully designed and executed the cover of this issue.

May 24, 1946

Birthday 5-5-32 He is the baby of the class.

We often wondered if he'd pass.

He showed us he'd outgrown his rattle.

He g·ave forth with intelligent prattle.

Or two's and three's he got a lot.

We've learned he's not a little tot.

9A Tests

S hirley Upham W anda Belknap

Oh how we love the 9A test We try to do our very best - - ~ ext me, my pal with wrinkled brow No more than me does he know how, But bravely on, we think and write Answers that could, or can, or might be right.

The tests are over, a sigh we heave, We're very smart we do believe.

When the tests have been graded by electric eye All the teachers will give a big sigh, For the tests have shown dear little we The smartest kids in the country to be.

9A Efficiency Letters The 9A class wrote the usual letters for efficiency credit and as usual the subject of the letters was ways of making Lincoln a better city in which to live. It was very gratifying to find that so many busy citizens took time to answer the letters and still more gratifying to see our 9A letters printed in the Lincoln Journal and L incoln Star. The high point of all was the editorial which Mr. J. E. Lawrence, editor of the Star wrote in regard to Bill Fields' letter. He thought that the subject on which Bill had written, juven ile delinquency , needed attention and expressed t he thought that this was a good way to get action.

The title of his editorial was "These Lincoln Youngsters. "

Civic League Officers for Next Year Elected The Civic League Election was held on May 14 with the following results: Velma L oos, president; JoAnn Berry, vice presiden t; and Delores Bowen, secretary. The boys' officers are Robert Deems, president ; Douglas Wells, vice president; and Dick Fifer secretary.

MISS HULT You've guided us for three long years, And leaving you will bring us tears, You've listened so patiently to our woes, And helped us all to cope with our foes.

In your decisions yotr'r.e always discreet, We liope other teachers like you to meet.

The 9A Class 9As are leaving and we'd like to know What gifts they'll leave us when they go.

Vv e're sure a class so clever and smart Has many talents with which to part.

Bob Bauer and Don Bean leave us their look s, They say if you have them you don't need books.

To Velma Loos, Algene Grubaugh wills her hair.

Gretchen Wendt wills to all girls her dimples so fair.

Those brown eyes with which Marlene Bell gazes round Next year on many a lass may be found.

To any and all boys who are now in despair, Don Dugan leaves his beautiful hair.

Hurry girls and grab the chance, See Beverly Jesse U you want to dance.

Kenny Gabler leaves his ways so nice To any and all whom they entice.

Jim Irmer gives his red readed curl To Robert Heatoh or an y girl.

Evelyn Ebert her skill in sports will share With any lass, be she dark or fair.

Gayle Michaud reminds us she's a tiny tot But says she'll leave us an awful lot (of good sense) .

Joy Ann Sherwood's gentle manner and smile Will be left to any who like that style.

"The way to act," says Leonard O'Short "I'll leave to any who will report."

The time is short, the list is long P erhaps you've tired of our song.

If you want to know about some more, Just turn to page three hundred four.

9A Boys Some are tall, some are fat But there isn't one that Isn't wonderful!

Some are handsome some are not But listen to me, and I'll tell you dot De're vonderful! ~ome are quiet, some are loud Of all of them we're very proud, They're wonderful!

In homeroom they laugh and talk And very seldom ever balk They're wonderful They're full of vim and vigor As they make their muscles bigger They're wonderful!

Norma Krull

Goodbye 9As Goodbye 9As, we're glad to see you go, But to tell you the truth, our hearts are full of woe.

We'll miss the pitter-patter of your feet down the hall, And the whizzing of the bat, And the flying of the ball.

And when we graduate in just a year or two, We hope you'll think of us, as we think of you.

-Julia Mccutchan

THE WH.I TTIER GREENLEAF

Have We ABU SED Or USED? The Greenleaf class made a survey of pencil sharpeners.

For the most part the pencil sharpeners are not working.

We would like to know why this is.

During war time we were unable to get any new ones or to have the old ones repaired.

Have we been careless and abused the pencil sharpeners? If we have abused our property, maybe it will teach us a lesson. After this maybe we will be more careful with things as it has certainly been hard to get alon~ without sharpeners.

My Trip To Seattle, Washington This summer I went to Seattle. The mountains there are so high you can see angels playing harps at the peaks.

The darkness is so thick you have to cut it with an ax. The snow is so white and pure that in the summer when it . melts it is purified milk, enough for everybody in Seattle. There is so much salt in one side of Washington Lake it comes in salt shakers. The fish there are so rich they have fins of silver and keep their whiskers and tails neatly trimmed. The butter and bacon and steak there are so scarce they make it into vitamin pills and it takes a microscope to see that. On the whole, I enjoyed my trip very much.

-Winifred Winston

Who's News Girl: She's four foot eight inches tall, weighs seventy eight and a half pounds and has blue eyes and brown hair.

You can see her with Dorothy Worster and Julia Mccutchan or Margaret Kolb .

If you haven't guessed by now I guess I'll have to tell you.

It's Mary Alice Mccutchan.

My Tall Tale One day as I was swimming in the Atlantic Ocean, my boat struck something hard. So I dove under the water. After searching under the water for two days I found what I was seeking, a trunk full of diamonds and fish. I swam to shore with the trunk in my teeth. When I reached shore I sold the fish for twenty-million dollars while the diamonds sold for two cents altogether.

After this I went to Africa and settled down with my lion, in peace.

Everyone flocks around it as though he had never tasted water before. Some one of these days somebody is going to float away. Mr. Gartner was the one who got it fixed. Three cheers for Mr. Gartner!

May Festival On May third, the Girl Scouts to troop 21 and the 4-H club at the Urban League had a May Festival.

The Girl Scouts sang a medley of songs. One of the songs they sang was "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief." Evelyn McDaniels was dressed as a doctor. Kathryn King as a lawyer and Birdie Powell was dressed as an Indian Chief. "Some Sunday Morning" was acted out with Iona Adams as the bride and Kathryn King as the groom.

The 4-H girls wrapped the May pole. The ones from Whittier were: Iona Adams and Kathryn King.

It was very well done. Miss Kathrine Thompson •was in charge.

Mr. Culler You've always been so kind and wise Your leaving us will cause us sighs.

Without you what will Whittier be?

We're afraid you have us up a tree.

You've always had a sense of fun, Our admiration you have won.

We hope that in your years of rest, You'll have fun and joys, the very best.

Urban ;League Style Show

An Apology

On April 20, the Urban League had its annual style show.

Jackie Molden of Weeping Water, Nebraska, twirled her baton. Then the stylers came out.

• The ones from Whittier that were in the style show were: Iona Adams, 207, Winifred Winston, 207, Ledora Walker, 207, Delores Bowen, 104, and Eloise Finley, 316.

After the style show a play entitled "Alice Blue Gown" was presented. Betty Thompson took t he leading part and Winifred Winston sang "Alice Blue Gown" with the audience joining in the chorus.

In a recent issue we mentioned having many Smiths in Whittier-but no "Smith Brothers." We were wrong-we do have-and they are Jesse Smith of 305 and Paul of 203. Unlike the original Smiths they are soon to part, Jesse to High School and Paul staying here-and they don't have beards.
