Whittier School Song
Whittier, our junior high school, We'll always stand by you. Whittier, our junior high school, You'll find us all true blue. Anytime you see us, We're always full of pep, Anywhere you put us, We're never out of step.
Whittier, our junior high school, We'll always stand by you.
Dedication
For ten years Mr. Carl Olson has served us here at Whittier. This year, 1968, we proudly dedicate our Greenleaf to him.
Mr. Olson has four children. Kris is a graduate nurse , now practicing at St. Michaels Hospital in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Richard is a freshman at the University and plays on the basketball team. Robert is a sophomore at East High, and Karen is a third grader at Meadow Lane Elementary.
Mr. Olson has had a wide range of teaching experiences. He was superintendent of schools in Brainard, Table Rock, and Exeter, and he taught school at Beaver City.
Mr. Olson has experienced military life as a Lt. Colonel in the Army reserves. He is also an active member of many educational groups, including: Lincoln Education Association, National Education Association, and Nebraska State Education Association.
Mr. Olson, we would like to thank you for teaching us and wish you good luck in many more years at Whittier.

1968: That Was The Class That Was
Quickly coming to a close is the 1967-68 school year along with many of our memories. Many changes have taken place here at Whittier over the years , some directly affecting us, some not.
Sometimes it seems as if we are used as guinea pigs for experiments. Could it be because we are so centrally located near the area of the University of Nebraska? Maybe it is because the students and teachers come from various backgrounds and economic sections, or just because Whittier is the best!
September 12, 1965, is a date still fresh in many of our minds. Some of us can still picture " little" seventh graders "running around like chickens with their heads cut off! "
Wednesday , November 10 , 1965 , Mrs. Rose Barnett, school secretary, received an anonymous telephone call saying that there was a bomb in the school. Students were evacuated and, after a thorough search, no bomb was discovered .
Eighth grade was one of those "so-so" years. Many new fields were opened , such · as JCL and Gity Government Day.
Last year produced many changes, one of which was the Type-A lunch plan and the Instructional Materials Center.
In the fall of 1966 Dr. Corwin Enevoldsen became our new principal after the retirement of Mr. Emory Priefert. Dr. Enevoldsen wa s born in Buffalo County, Nebraska, and received his elementary and high school education at Loup City , Nebraska.
Whittier is proud to boast the city basketball champs this year. The team was not defeated while on the court.
Second semester this year there was an "extra special" Honors Assembly. Mr. Jim Fras , author of our state song, came and spoke to us and entertained us. Mr. Fras made us appreciate our freedom and what we have.
This year the second semester JCL made it possible to purchase class pins bearing the year that we graduate and the school's initials.
The Journalism class sponsored a school project-"PROJECT: VIET NAM." The Christmas card drive was a smashing success and numerous replies were received. Mrs. Black helped to promote school spirit by having her typing classes write letters to service men in hospitals.
On March 11 , 1968, Mrs. Chambers' and Miss Adams' sixth period English classes visited District Court. No one had committed a crime, but the classes had just finished studying a unit on justice. Everyone was curious about what goes on in a court room so we went to see two very interesting trials.
While in ninth grade we went through three days of testing. The ITED tests last for three periods and helped to plan our high school registration .
High school registration is another big step for ninth graders. We realize that when we register for high school we are getting closer and closer to being out in the world alone. Along with the many responsibilities we must start to think of our future vocation.
We now walk these halls as battle-hardened ninth g~aders, eager to seek new pastures, but sad to leave the old ones behind.
As "battle-hardened" ninth graders it's quite a burden to leave, but we wish to have our last thoughts unveiled as "1968: THAT WAS THE CLASS THAT WAS!"

Valentine Assembly Tops
This year, 67-68 , Whittier held its 20th Valentine Assembly. The history of this annual ritual is an interesting one. The program began in 1948, when someone decided that Whittier should have some way of celebrating this illustrious occasion. It started out as a formal gown affair The participants showed up in floor length dresses usually reserved for proms and other such things.
The waltzers have always added a flair of romance and gallantry to these assemblies. They have been, and we hope, always will be a part of our Valentines Day celebrations.
Times have changed since 1948, but the beauty of the occasion will always remain.
We would like to extend our cong ra tulations to all of the people connected with this yea r ' s Valentine Assembly. The program turned out very well, especially considering the amount of time spent on it this yea r . Believe it or not , there were only about 3 weeks of preparation.
Our thanks and a tip of the hat go to the members of the Art committee. These people , on very sho rt notice , prepared some new, and very interesting decorations. The stage was alive with color and the fine workmanship proved itself worthy of the occasion The members of the committee were: OR A MALAMUD, CAROL SPETH, JU IOR MAR, TERRY MAHLMA , RICKY WADE, and LYDIA SCHERBAK. Also helping were: DAGMAR AUERS, TERESA STEWART, JEA NE DAVIDSO , and COLLEEN TOLAND .
The Assembly Committee people with the assistance of Miss Adams , Miss Jorn , and Mr. Christensen (who , incidentally , gave much of his time to the Art Committee), put their whole hearts into this program. Miss Adams and Miss Jorn gave their special attention to a "crash project" to teach the waltzers the basic steps. Dagmar Auers and Ricky Wade M.C.'ed the ceremonies.
Mr. Thompson's small group sang: •Jvfoon River" and "Swingin' Do wn the Lane."
There were two new additions to the show this yea r. Namely, a Court Jester and Sword Holders. Shirley Warren was the Jester, whose task it was to introduce the royal entertainment. The entertainment consisted of : ' Night and Day, " a trombon e solo by Rollie Hill
" Pl ease Love Me Forever." a vocal solo by Diana Wollen
" The Days of Wine and Roses. " flutes pla~ed by P eggy Turner , Pe ggy Ball , and Susan Schwindt
The Sword Holders: JANIS HILD , TERRY MAHLMAN , PAM HANDY , RANDY LEACH, TERESA STEWART, and PAUL PORATH , formed an arch over the royal couple.
Lola Hayes brought in the sealed e n velope revealing the names of the King and Queen, DEBBIE DEBUS and JUNIOR MAR. •
As a grand finale, the waltzers danced to ' 'Tal e s of the Vi e nna Woods."
The program e nded with applause, picture taking, and plenty of congrat ulations .

A Tribute To Whittier
by Shirley Warren
Whittier we say goodbye, for we must leave you now, And as we walk down your great halls we give to you a bow, For all the time we've spent here, you've been a school first rate, And that is what we think of you, this class of sixty-eight. We'll look back in year s to come, and think of good times had, And think of all the friends we've made, while in our hear ts we're glad.
Whittier we thank you now for giving us your care, For letting us belong to you and in you r triumphs share. We were proud to fight for you in ball games of all kinds, And if we won we'd shout for joy with carefree open minds.
Time has passed so swiftly for the 9th grade class this year, It's been filled with good and bad, unhappiness and cheer. We have grown a little more while passing through each class, And we've worked quite hard so we might know that we'll be sure to pass.
The teachers have been good to us by helping us along, They've helped us so we may take part in life's busy throng. It's nice to know we'll be prepared for the world today, And we can make it what we want, each, in our own way.

Throughout 1968 we have had a fine year in sports. Our basketball team took first place in the city. This was a great thrill for us, for the team and for Mr. Worrall. The team went the entire season without a loss. It consisted of Kenny Atkins, Junior Mar, Tom Keller, Ricky Wade , Terry Mahlman, Ralph Henderson and Bob Offenbacher. The seventh and eighth grades also went unde- feated this year in basketball.
We also had a fine year in football. The ninth and seventh grades went undefeated while the eighth grade only lost one game. Whittier took city champs in ping pong as Mike Freeman and Wayne Shafer won doubles.
Our school also has many fine track and field stars and Mr. Worrall hopes to break many records this year, not only schooi but also city records. Kenny Young also tied the school pull-up record of 22 last set in 1965 by Bob Orta. So we had a great year in sports and we should be proud to have done so.

Assemblies and A wards
Our first assembly this y ear was our J.C.L. installatio n for first semester officers. It was a routine assembly, but led into bigger and better things.
October twenty-fourth at ten o'clock the FASHION CHEMISTRY program was held. "Miss Simplicity," Sarah McKinley, served as our speaker and narrator. Twenty-three of our own girls acted as the models.
The next assembly was the Honors assembly for second semester of 1967. The theme was GROWTH IS THE ONLY EVIDENCE OF LIFE. Art awards were presented.
On November tenth the annual Fall Variety Show was held. I'VE GOT RHYTHM was the theme, and was displayed in every act.
Mr. Hill once again delivered our Thanksgiving message and we were made to think what the real meaning of Thanksgiving was.
December nineteenth brought the Christmas assembly. The assembly was musical, as it is tradition to have it that way.
The bi-annual J.C.L. campaign assembly was held January eleventh. The skits were as varied as ever, and included hippies, bums, and "high society."
Once again the installation was held. Certificates were also presented to the first semester officers.
Lincoln High then, on three separate days, provided us with an excuse to get out of class. They presented us with their musical talents.
Health Day assembly was again held. The King and Queen were announced and awards for athletic achievements were presented.
These are just highlights of assemblies , and we hope that a fogged-up memory has returned to your mind all the happy memories that you can hold.
What to do with old, our of date records? Break them up and melt them? This was an art project this year. Pictured here is Pat Brandon. What do you do with melted records? Make statues and modern art designs!
What is this? Two boys from boys' Home Ee? No! This was a volunteer job done by these boys. They are making clay for an art project, not lunch.

History
John Greenleaf Whittier
In Haverhill, Massachusetts in 1807, John Greenleaf Whittier was born. As a boy on the farm, John developed a life-long sympathy for nature and all natural life. H is entire life was spent in doing what he thought was the best thing he could do for th e majority of the people.
He had a scanty education, but read a great deal. In the 1800's he became we ll known as a poet.
During the Civil War period, most of his poems concerned the slavery iss u e, siding with the Negro. Being a devout Quaker he was a strong advocate of soc ial reform. He took action on the anti-slavery movement, and died on September 7, 1892 . After his death a college was named after him, and was then taken in as part of Harvard. Whittier College's social department was built up so high, due to Mr. Whi ttier's reputation as a social reformist. This was why Harvard was interested in the school.
Our own school is named after him, and our yearbook and newspaper honor him by using his middle name as their title.
History
Among the fi r st schools built to be specifically a Junior High in t he Mid-West after World War I, was Whi tti er . Built in 1922 , its first occupancy was a year la t e r . Or iginally it was built to accommodate 1,000 st ude nts, bu t has held wi t hin
Mr. Charles L. Culler its walls between 650 a n d 1,320 . Its enrollment now stands a t app r ox imat ely 800.
Mr . Charles L. Culler was the first principal. He no w h a s an other school named after him-Charles Culler Junior High.
Since being built, our school has had addition s. The art and shop area is one of these addi t ions .
In 1967 ne w permanent film screens were installed in eve ry cla ss room , and a special gran t from Encyclopedia Britannica was bestowed on o r school.
