OUR PRINCIPAL, PROFESSOR A. J. OLSON Our Principal In the stress of school life when large numbers of people are busy in various lines of activity many problems arise. We have our individual prob¬ lems as well as our group problems, and through all these we have learned to appreciate the sound advice and sympathetic attitude of our principal. Sometimes the demand for him has been so great that we have waited in line for what seemed like hours, but we have never failed to be rewarded with the help we went for. At first we may have feared to approach the green carpet, but we soon learned that we would be greeted with whole¬ hearted and sympathetic understanding and the help we needed.

Dedication There are always some people who seem to play an important role in the smooth running of an institution that involves as many details as a school. And that is the kind of people we find in our friends, Mr. and Mrs. Hagele to whom we affectionately dedicate this 1949 RAINIER VISTA. How often we have urgently needed some favor done, and have confidently dropped in to the secretary ' s office to tell our troubles to Mrs. Hagele, who, we might always know, would help us out. Those who know best say that in her work she is always efficient, reliable, and capable. And we never can forget Mr. Hagele ' s playful smile, and that humorous vein which runs like a thread of mischief through much that he does. What¬ ever he undertakes to do is done accurately and with the precision of the master workman in a job. We salute you in this sincere dedication, Mr. and Mrs. John E. Hagele.

A Tribute of Thanks ELDER DON H. SPILLMAN The most impressive memories of all our school life, are those surrounding our spiritual activities. And only eternity will reveal how much this year has meant to us because of the work of two of our spiritual leaders, Elder Don H. Spillman, president of the Washington Conference, and Elder Glenn E. Patter¬ son, pastor of the Bremerton Church. Each of these men has given us an entire week from his busy life to guide us in our effort to find God. The fall Week of Prayer was conducted by Elder Patterson, and the spring devotional week by Elder Spillman. Especially will we remember the stirring testimony services which followed the meetings in which we surrendered our hearts to the Master, at which times we were led to the foot of The Cross. Dear to memory too, will always be the helpful choruses, and the hours of private consulta¬ tion with these men concerning our personal problems. These have been precious hours when, as we reached our after God, we have found Him; and many have met Him for the first time. To close the spring Week of Prayer, Elder Spillman conducted a baptism in which many arose to walk in newness of life with the Master. ELDER GLENN E. PATTERSON
