is - eva Kenneth Anderson, vicefpresident: Emeline Price, secretaryftreas' urer Keith Hamilton, president: Mr. Trowbridge, head adviser, ailing Un Life is just u Bowl of Cherries would not exactly describe the conditions existing for the '43 class at Highline or for the present ycar's graduating class in any high school. Because of adverse conditions caused by our country's entrance into the world wide conflict and struggle to preserve our democracy, the schools throughout the nation have naturally been forced to give up many of the activities they have enjoyed in the past. Never before in the history of our country has a high school class gone through its senior year and graduated under conditions such as those which exist at the present time. The lack of help in all industries and the demand for the services of boys and girls of high school age, coupled with the excessively high wages being paid, has made it diiiicult for students to keep their interests in the school. This trend of events decreased the number of seniors in attendance this year, the class having diminished from 200 in September to approximately 140, who will finish at the end of the school year. Many of the boys enrolled in the VI Navy training program earlier in the year, and in April another group took the test sponsored jointly by the Army and Navy in schools throughout the United States. Their grades on this test will determine whether they will be selected for oflicers' training when they are inducted into the armed forces. During the spring months the boys have succeeded in carrying on the tradition of careful supervision of the Senior Park, and the recent benches placed there will remain a mute testimony of the work of a valiant few. As the annual goes to press, the class is looking forward to the one social event of the yearf the dance at the Spanish Castle planned for june 4. Many other social events were necessarily curtailed by the advent of gas rationing and the restrictions placed on night gatherings by the civil defense authorities. Despite these handicaps the class officers, Keith Hamilton, presidentg Kenneth Anderson, vicefpresidentg Emeline Price, secretary, and Donald Barclay, treasurer, performed the duties of their oflices eommendably and attempted, along with the rest of the class, to destroy the reputation that was created last year when the class staged the junior Skit. The perpetrators of that epic have yet to see its acceptance in the world of drahmer as a truly great work of art. The Senior Class advisers-W Mrs. Davis, Mr. Asbury, Miss Rohowits, Mr. Motteler, and Mr. Trowbridge, head adviserfegave unsefishly of their time in guiding the various home rooms through four years of scholastic activityffnot unmixed with the growing pains of the 'teen age and the turbulence of the war years.
