Second row — OFFICE CLERKS The daily clerical business of the school is done quietly and efficiently by the office force. Under the capable direction of Mrs. Lura Waldrip, the clerks of our school care for the regular business of the Main Office, the Attendance Office, and the Guidance Office. In the management of the Student Body funds, our courses, tardinesses, and absences, the clerks are particularly associated with the students, and they are always ready to help at any time. Transacting the school business is not the only value of the clerks, however. Under their careful supervision many students receive first-hand training in the office. In this way, before graduating from high school, actual experience is given to those pupils who are desirous of entering the business world. A great deal of credit is certainly due to the thorough and efficient office force, and to them we extend our hearty thanks and appreciation. They have worked faith- fully, and they have done their duties well. •

In M emonam Mr. J. Clifford Roberts Mr. J. Clifford Roberts for twenty-four years gave devoted serv- ice to Whittier Union High School as a member of the faculty. It is the privilege of few men to serve the same institution and the same community for nearly a quarter of a century and to serve them with such honor and distinction that everyone by common consent gives praise to the service. During that time he won the deepest respect and admiration from thousands of students and teachers. In his many associations in the school and community, Mr. Roberts won many new friends and never lost an old one. He was a gentleman in the truest sense of the word, a teacher who used the highest ideals in a practical manner, and a man who was always ready and anxious to go far afield to help his friends. One of his finest characteristics was his willingness to share graciously the bur- dens of any who were suffering inconvenience, hardship, or crit icism. In appraising the personality, the life, and the accomplishments of Mr. Roberts, we can give no finer tribute than to repeat the words universally quoted to indicate complete approval and profound appreciation: Well done, thou good and faithful servant.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The Executive Committee for 1933-1934 has completed a year particularly important to the members of the Student Body of Whittier Union High School. Composed of faculty members of the activity departments and representatives of the Student Body, the committee met, throughout the year, to discuss and enact important phases of Student Body business. At the beginning of the school year, a Business Manager for the Student Body and several managers for the athletic department were appointed. Then a com- mittee was chosen to work throughout the year to settle definitely the decisions to be on the distribution of varsity letters. Finally the Executive Committee discussed all proposed amendments to the Constitution and made recommendations concerning the amendments to the Student Body itself. In these ways the Executive Committee exercised a close supervision of Student Body affairs and also saved much time in the regular meetings. •
