1 xy l .al if IN I I I J . 4 J' 1 ca, 1, c I L rl? ig' 'sn N V 0 More than ten years ago, Highline High School was blest with the arrival of a new principalg one who was destined to see Highline emerge from the ranks of inconspicuous country high schools to a position of leadership among the schools of the state. Through all these years Mr. Baker has guided the destinies of each succeeding Pirate Clan witha sure hand, betokening a clear, alert mind. In each, he has instilled a sense of loyalty and devotion unsurpassed in any school. Having done his bit for Highline as a school, Mr. Baker moves on this year to a more exalted position. He has been appointed superintendent of the newly reorganized Highline School District, which includes not only the high school but also the grade schools of the district. Although we are sorry to see Mr. Baker leave, we rejoice with him in his promotion. As a token of our esteem, therefore, we consider it an honor and a privilege to be able to dedicate this volume to one for whom we hold the deepest affection and admiration-our true friend and counselor, Lyman D. Baker. L W Y iw .,.. ,, 7 x
