OWEN HUNT President Log for Class of 1939 Bearing the Cutlass Crew of 1939, the Pirate sloop left the cove to cleave the turbulent seas encountered on the first lap of their four year voyage. To pilot their vessel through the senior swells the wobbly urchins entrusted drawling Tommy Giddens with the wheel. Patricia Boyle was the first mate, Jack Hawley made entries in the log, and Yoshio Fujiwara supervised the Buccaneer chest.

From this Sophomore Class emanated the nucleus of a casaba squad destined to reach the highest rung in Highline's history. Hoisting more billowin canvas on their everfmoving windj ammer as they plowed through gfassy oceans in their continual quest for knowled e and expansion, these mariners invaded all branches of school lisa, scholastically and athletically. Confidently directing the craft's course from the forecastle were Captain james Marshall, First Lieutenant jack Hawley, Log-Keeper Ruby Mclntyre, and Quarter- master Ralph Brown. The possessors of a large store of rudimentary wisdom, these weathered seafarers charted their final expedition together. With their accumulated experience they entered and contributed much to all major branches of school life. Masts crealcing under a full spread of sail the Class Clipper of ,39 strained forward, ever swifter toward its final haven-graduation. Guidance o'er the shoals and through the tempests of this, the largest Pirate Clan ever to waft through Highline's portals, was made the responsibility of Commander Owen Hunt and his petty officers, LEW1S SORENSEN V ce President
