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. •

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. •

STUDENT BODY Enkindling in every individual and in all organizations the spirit of striving for the highest goal, the Whittier High Student Body has completed the year 1933-1934 with a record of which it may well be proud. Faced with the discouraging problem of holding assemblies on the athletic field, yet the Student Body has succeeded in obtaining some of the finest programs in the school ' s history, namely: the Utica Jubilee Singers and the Pasadena Junior College Band. The students were privileged also to hear the addresses of such internationally famous men as Dr. Bruce Baxter and Richard Halliburton. Splendid publications have been edited this year by the Annual Staff and by the Cardinal and White Weekly Staff. The Weekly Staff has furnished the Student Body with an interesting and well-prepared paper each week. To serve as a lasting souvenir of the year ' s work, our beautiful Year Book has been capably prepared by the Annual Staff. After thoroughly investigating the system of awards, a Student Body committee made some constructive changes in the system which will prove of lasting value. As a result of work and study by a second committee, a new system of school government has been placed before the students for their approval. These are a few of the active accomplishments performed by the students themselves. Serving the school in any capacity to which they were called, the Cardinal Guards and Cardinal Guides have worked faithfully at their respective tasks. The Courtesy Committee, together with the Ushers, have capably served at the school ' s social functions. In arousing enthusiasm for athletic contests by numerous skits and rallies, the Pep Committee has been very successful. By the achievements of our athletic teams, the name of Whittier has continually been before all Southern California. By progressing to the finals of the Southern California C. I. F. championship play-off, the basketball team covered itself with glory. The baseball squad also headed a highly successful season. Through it all, the wonderful spirit of cooperation which has existed between the Student Body and members of the Faculty has made this year one of the most profit- able and enjoyable ever experienced at Whittier Union High School.
