CARDINAL AND WHITE Student Body THE YEAR 1931-1932 has brought to Whittier High many achievements, both individual and group, which were effected mainly by the legends and traditions of former student bodies, by the willing and intelligent cooperation of this student body, and by the desire of its officers to leave some contribution to succeeding student bodies. By the inauguration of a new policy — that of electing the officers during the latter part of the previous school year — we were able to engage in activities at once. An auspicious beginning was made by the sale of over one thousand student body tickets. Since the Cardinal bird had previously been adopted as the official emblem, the pennants chosen embodied this motif. Pennants were sent to various schools in exchange for theirs. In past years the Pep Committee has included representatives of only the Senior class. To invite greater enthusiasm and encourage deeper interest in members of all classes in activities sponsored by such a committee, the Student Body Pep Committee was organized. Throughout the year the speakers for the assembled students were chosen with great discrimination, in order that information on topics of varied interests might be made a part of the students ' knowledge, and an aid to them after they have left school. The students received the speakers with courtesy and appreciation in every instance. A very great part of our school spirit has been created by athletics. In spite of the fact that much of the material for the teams was new, excellent coaching, well organized team-work, and the support of the student body and faculty made possible many victories. The football teams, possessed with fighting spirit and stamina, ranked high in comparison with other schools, their records greatly exceeding pre- seasonal predictions. A new sport which aroused considerable interest on the campus was cross-country running. Whittier was placed third in the league standings, a high rating when we consider that this is the first time even an attempt has been made to organize such a team in this school. A greater number of students than ever displayed remarkable interest in all games and supported the contestants enthusiastically both at home and at other schools. Our song and yell leaders were always in evidence to lead the rooters in cheers for our own and the opponents ' teams. On the whole, the year has been a pleasant one, combining work and play, friendships and happy associations. It is with regret at parting, but with the satis- faction of work well done that we approach the close of the year. We hope that this year ' s student body has helped to lay a basis for following ones. In this Cardinal and White has been created a material remembrance of the past and an indication of a greater future.

CARDINAL AND WHITE Yell and Song Leaders K UCH FERVOR was manifested at the beginning of the year in the exciting ' V ' selection of a yell leader for Whittier High. Billy Moorhead, having had the experience as head yell leader last year, was unanimously elected to the position. He chose as his assistants Russell Reagan and Wayne Talbert. Because of the strenuous efforts of these three pep kings, more enthusiastic yelling has been heard around the institution this year than for many a year. These faithful cheer leaders have attended every football and basketball game and have greatly contributed to our successful season. The student body has given excellent support to the yell leaders at all of the games and has displayed the finest type of sportsmanship. When the election of the song leaders was held, the competition proved to be very keen. Six contestants tried out with the result that Whittier High School has had the most unique song leaders in all Southern California. Why? Because they are singing twins! Lois and Louise Coffman have done some excellent song leading this year. They have willingly assisted at every rally, attended all of the games, and have represented the school at various community meetings. These twins have helped to add much of the needed zeal at the student body meetings.
