TO THE CLASS OF '36 AS A CONTINUANCE of a tradition originating last year, Martha Wil- liams, president of the Penpushers' Club, has contributed the following poem in honor of the graduating class: Oh children, grown in wisdom. You are loosed to try your skill Upon an older, wiser world Than in this house of learning. Lives that in the past have been Devoid of stern complexities. And only carefree days have seen llflust try their worth in industry, And in the push of working men Must earn their strength and happiness. Smile on defeat. and start again. In your young quest of knowledge You have learned, at least in part, To think. and glean from wisdom's store The greatest good it may impart. But you are yet untried in skill. Lack knowledge of your destiny. And need some guiding. strong ideal To keep your lives as they should be. Be strong in heart. Oh Youth and Maid- Be kind in everything. Search for the best your hearts can find And teach your souls to singf 17 1

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS XVilcoX, presidenti XVoodwnrd,vicc-pres- idcnt: Petite, secre- tary: Tinno, treasure SENIOR CLASS AN INSIGNIFICANT group of timid freshmen entered the portals of Highline in the fall of '32. To guard against the ravages of upperclassmen they elected Fred Day to guide their fortunes through their first year: Eleanor Baker as assistant guide: Frances McCulloch as mistress of the log: and Virginia Hulse, custodian of the class funds, Miss Himes and Mr. Betz were appointed as class supervisers. ln true accord with the idea of Northwest progression they won a name for themselves in sports, dramatics, music and scholastic activities during their soph- omore year, under the capable leadership of Oro Wilcox, presidentg Harry Mc- Guane, vice-presidentg Tom Langdon, secretaryg George Fisher, treasurerg and Miss Himes and Mr. Gilbert as class advisers. During their third year, these ambitious workers conquered new fields and launched their invading forces into every realm of school activity. To guide and direct in the oversight of these extended interests the class chose Douglas Lemmel as executor of their affairs: George Lotz, vice-executor, Hazel Fitch as superin- tendent of recordsg and Bud Glandon, manager of finance. Miss Gibson, Miss Wilson and Mr. Gilbert were the appointed guardians. Specializing in dramatics-leads were taken in the Drama Shoppe play, Skid- ding, the All-School Play, Lilies of the Field, and the vaudeville, Paul Bunyan's Return. The musical field also attracted many juniors, as prominent parts were taken in the operetta, Rose of the Danube, and in the Western Washington Music Meet. Many juniors were in the football lineup as well as holding prominent posi- tions on the basketball floor. They emerged as victors in the intramural class track meet. , To provide adequate administration for still broader interests during their last and supreme year, the class selected Oro Wilcox as chief administratorg Norval Woodward, vice-administrator, Esther Petite as recorder of business: and Frank Tiano, financier. Miss Harsch, Mr. Daverin and Mr. Gilbert served faithfully as advisers. . No phase of sports, dramatics, music and scholarship was left untouched by these assiduous workers. They were seniors in every sense of the word-living up to the reputations of preceding classes, and establishing higher standards for classes yet to come. 18
