OUR LEADERS Do you think you would recognize our civic league leader s if you were to meet them in t he h~ll? If not, here are a few hmts. . Yo,u'll notice Phyllis Hoke, our girls president, for her shortness and friendliness to everyone. The brilliant, musical, cheerful Frank Loeffel will serve as boys' president. Another person who should be noti~ed_ is smiling, darkeyed Maqorie Coi:lter who is serving as vice president. Neat singing Gene Sundeen is the b~ys' vice presiden t. r~h~ girls' secretary, Bonnie Qmllm, you will notice for her happy disposition and her fine penmanship. Billy Mann is the boys' secretary. You'll know him for his Jesse James swagger and his bright blonde hair. WHO? Who are those people wandering about With a lost expression and a funny pout? Who go down on the ''up'' stairs and up on the "down"? You tell them they're wrong and they give you a frown. Don't tell me a word-just let me guess, It must be the freshies, but I will confess Whittier's real glad to have them, For what would we do If there were no freshies to laugh at? School would be boring, I think, don't you? -June Baragary, 102 COMPLIMENTS WHITTIER Miss Towne complimented Whittier's system of electing civic league officers when she spoke to the defense committee of the teachers round table and school reporters on January 29, at the board of education.
