for the less illustrious record of the first team. The baseball nine, too, has given substantial, though not spectacular, proof that WVhittier High will soon come into its own again. ln short, we have not had a team of which We may not well be proud. As We have been successful in athletics, so we have been successful in all other student activities. At the outset of the year, the Student Body shouldered a staggering debt of nearly six hundred dollars. From all appearances, this obligation will have been completely disposed of bv June 24, 1921. YVe cannot refrain from coinnienting here on what is undoubtedly the best school spirit in the country. The Student Brody of VVhit.tier High School never vet has been appealed to for a deserv- ing cause when it has not responded Whole heartedly. Athletics, de- bates and entertaininents never have been supported as they have been supported this year. The Cardinal and Wlhite is, indeed, grateful for the large subscription lists, for, in spite of other helps, it would not be possible to have a school pa.per except for the co-operation of the subscribers. VVe of the staif are unusually indebted to the faculty and especially to our advisors who have unhesitatingly given of their time and thought. YVe would extend special thanks to those modest members Who kindly consented to have their pictures taken against their Wills. lVe owe our greatest debt to the class of 1921, who have agreed to devote the proceeds of their play to the aid of the Cardinal and WVhite and the Student Body. Until the Seniors came heartily to the rescue, the financial status of t.he Student Body did not warrant the publica- tion of an a.nnual. Every graduating class has left something to the school. VVe can think of no more fitting gift than the summary of a good school year in the form of the Annual F 'tion of the Cardinal and VVhite. V We earnestly urge all students and faculty members to give and to encourage their friends to give a most generous patronage to those business firms that have taken space in our columns in these times when it is essential to consider the Wisdom of even the sinallest investe- ment. Such patronage can make manifest only partially our sincere appreciation of the assistance of our advertisers. To those contributors who are not on the We would express our gratitude. ' Neither would we forget to mention the Wfhittier News Company, who at all times has given the most courteous service, besides offer- ing invaluable advice. Wife have taken great pride in being able to serve lVhittier High and we hope that this Work may meet with general approval. WVe are, Page II

li li W' l im lVhittier lligh School has always had reason to be proud of its instructors. This year our faculty has been unusually strong. Besides ably filling their respective chairs, the teachers have heartily en- gaged in all school activities. The audiences of every football, basket- ball, baseball, and other games, have had their full quotas of pedagogues. The aid and support given various entertainments by the faculty members has proven invaluable. Above all, a marked spirit of good fellowship' and congenialitv has existed among' the teachers themselves and between them and their pupils. VVhittier High has in- deed been 'Free from any petty Xvrangles such as mar the student life oi' so many .schools. lt is feared one of the most capable and popular teachers has tendered his resignation. VVe sincerely hope that he Will reconsider his action as it will be impossible to replace such a true scholar and gentleman. Any anticipants of similar proceedings may be assured that such acts will be equally unpopular. Nevertheless, new teachers as well as old teachers will be given a. most generous 'Welcome next year.
