. m ,.. 3i...f.., . To those of us who have lived' but a small segment of our expected lives, the present holds an appeal greater than that of the past. The pictures on this page illustrate those things that we know. Top: The totem pole erected last December. Next to top: The municipal building. Next to bottom: Present library. Bottom: New court house. From a survey taken by the Shuksan staff, a picture has been drawn of the average Bellingham High School student. This student would be fifteen or sixteen years of age. Of these years, fifteen of them would have been spent in Bellingham or some part of Wash- ington. Physically he would have brown hair and blue eyes. His ancestors would come from many places. His parents might have been born in Washington or perhaps Canada. California, the Dakotas, Oregon. or Minnesota could have claimed them. His grand- parents' roots would lie in more far-Hung places. They might have migrated from Midwestern states. They could have come from Canada, Ireland, Cer- many, Great Britain, Sweden, Norway,' or France. Many students know nothing of their grandparents. The breadwinner of his family might have a variety of jobs. Among them would be that of a logger, millworker, trucker, engineer, construction worker, or nurse. No matter how great the -salary or wage earned, the student would still pay for fifty per cent of his clothing and earn seventy-five per cent of his spending money. The person in question would hold a great range of likes and dislikes. He would enjoy shows, sports, swimming, and skating, but hate some mem- bers of the opposite sex, odd habits of people, and school.His family would have no television set, one car, and three radios. He would live in a house his family owned with the parents who gave him birth. This, then, is a composite picture of those who in- herited, not built, our city.
