PROGRESS Following a special request, Mr. Gilbert has permitted the Class of '36 to print one of his poems which shows two pictures of the approaching industrial era and a bit of philosophy deduced from the same. Hear the roar of city traffic, All the multitudinous dinning, And the loud vociferation in the squareg On once peaceful country highways Hear the whir of motors spinning, And the droning of propellors in the air. 'Tis the glad reverberation Of the progress of the nation! Shout the rabble who are deafened by the blare. In the palaces of commerce, Hear the hub-bub and the clatter, Dawn to dark the jarring notes are never stillg Constant buzzing of the signals Ana' the keyboards' ceaseless chatter, Sharp staccatos all the interspaces fill. 'Tis the busy world advancing. ' Sing the people, who are dancing To the jingle of the silver in the till. From the factory's toiling tumult, Ring a thousand mingled clamors. Shrieking whistles pierce the blue dawn-gilded bowlg Whine of lathe and clang of anvil. Pounding of the iron hammers, Humming wires with harnessed lightning in control. Progressll' cry the crowd, unthinking, Heeding not the fatal clinking , Of the chains that Mammon forges for the soul. Where lies progress? Not in buildings Piled for mercantile endeavors, Nor in spanning empty space from pole to poleg Not in shackled thunder-bolts Attached to magic wheels and levers Milling small their daily grist of human toll- Progress lies in noble living, Being wronged, to be forgiving, Itls the silent pull of love that lifts the soul! 14

'CD TRAl4l'liQ SQUAD Bell. Row 2. Bak- x X551 in STUDENT PATROL COMPLETING ITS THIRD YEAR of service to the Highline student body, the Student Patrol squad has proved a most efficient governmental institution. Dutifully fulfilling their major duty of relieving congestion in the halls, mem- bers of the squad have been actively engaged with issuing tickets to violators of the traffic laws. Such offenses as going up the wrong side of the stairs, displaying unnecessary rowdiness, walking three abreast, and running in the halls merited traffic slips. Following a definite system. established at the beginning of the school year, the offenders were required to make up a certain amount of time, the length being determined by the seriousness of the offense. However, if the misdemeanor were repeated, the time to be made up was doubled. lf a third repetition of the offense occurred, all hall privileges were taken from the guilty person. Thus the court and judges, who functioned so importantly during the previous two years, have been eliminated. Another important function fulfilled by the patrol was the maintenance of order on the school grounds. Walking on the lawn is strictly prohibited. and, pertaining to the loading of buses, the students were not allowed to leave the steps until the bus had completely stopped. Janette Moses and Dan Huhn were appointed as chairmen of the following squad: Eleanor Baker, Hazel Eitch, Esther Petite. Erdine White, June Bell, Betty Shearer, Ered Day. Don Hart. Jesse Neiswender, Douglas Lemmel, K. Simund- son, and Clifford Dean. Because the senior members of the squad were needed in their Home Rooms for graduation preparations the above students were dismissed from their duties toward the end of the third quarter. ln March the following boys were selected to fill the vacant positions: Junior Hogatt, Don Powell. George Mathews, Richf ard Williams, Benton Howard, and Lawrence Dean. The Student Patrol is sponsored jointly by the Girls' and Boys' Clubs, with Mr. Johnson and Miss Conmey as advisers. Judging from its success during the past year. its continuance for many future years is undoubtedly assured. 13
