In preparation for the many functions to be entered upon during this last and longest journey, the ship's officers selected ellow pas' sengers for the divers committees.

Co' seamen of this squad were Betty Slater, Shirley Feather, Bill Tomlinson, Mary jean Bushell, john Larson, and Tena Sengstock. Robert Titus was given control of the Pirate decks with the right to choose several assistant mariners.

These sailors supervised the choice of an engraving company and the pertaining details. Pat Boyle became the General Graduation Officer.

Members of the allfimportant ift committee were Cecile Day, Dorothy Simundson and Bob Bliss. of those nominated to speak on commencement night Gwen Hunt and Carmen McBraun were elected.

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. Inured to studies and burgeoning forth in extrafcurricular activities the slightly steadier ship's company sailed out onto less troubled waters. jack Hawley was elevated to the post of navigator, Ruby Mclntyre became his assistant, Virginia Rudstrom kept the records, and Harold Logan was in charge of monetary matters. 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
