MANY AND MINGLED were the emotions experienced by the one hundred forty-eight grad- uating seniors during Commencement week. There were sad good-byes to classmates and teachers and last fond looks at familiar surroundings, but along with their more sentimental thoughts were the joyous anticipations of their being released into a world of golden opportunities. The first event which marked the beginning of the end for the Class of '37 was Senior Class Day, or the Moving-up Assembly. Following tradition, the seniors moved from their customary position in the center section of the auditorium onto the stage. There they were viewed with envy by their u.nderclassmen friends who had also moved into positions formerly occupied by a higher class. Because of the fact that there were two valedic- torians and two salutatorians instead of the usual number of one each, there were four addresses on the Class Day program. Margaret Ellen Whyte and Ikuko Nishikawa attained the highest rank, while Marjorie McPhie and Doris Woodley won saluta- torian honors, Each one of the group spoke to one of the four classes in high school and mentioned just what these particular pupils would encounter during the ensuing year.

On Sunday afternoon, May 30, the Class of '37 was honored at baccalaureate services in the school auditorium by the Reverend Doctor Warren Has- tings who gave an inspirational talk to the near- graduates, Appropriate music was supplied by Mr. Lemon and the high school glee club. f Graduation of Highline's thirteenth senior class took place on the evening of June 3. Four student speakers, two of whom were selected by tht faculty and two by the class, gave short talks on the various phases of the general theme, The Derivation of Our Cultural Inheritance. The speakers were Helen Case, Bill Porland, Betty Shearer, and Glenn Benson. With the words of their farewell song, 'Sailing On, still ringing in their hearts the members of the Class of '37 took the last step of their high school careerfid advanced across the stage to receive their diplomas--citizens of Highline no longer- but citizens of a wider school-the community in which they are soon to he absorbed as workers and leaders of a great democracy.
