We are at the end of a term of school during which we have had many interrupf tions caused hy our participation in the war work. It has heen necessary to curtail many of our usual activities in order to comply with the regulations made necessary hy the war. A proof of the loyalty of the Highline students is the fact that they have borne these interruptions and curtailments without complaints. A further proof is the record made hy the school in hond purchases and in the spirit of other emergency activities. ln thc trying times that are still ahead of us and in the diilicult task of adjustment after the war shall he over, we know that we can count on the continuaf tion of the highest type of patriotism from the Highline students and graduates. We congratulate the editors of the Pirates' Log on their choice of Music as a theme for this yearls annual. lt seems most appropriate in the midst of this world's tragedy to turn from suffering and carnage to a suhject that has ever served as an expression of exalted patriotism. lvlany of the things we lahor and struggle for are hut transient possessions, hut music will continue to cheer the hearts of men long after the discords of war have ceased to disturh the harmony of a pcacefloving world. Siiieerely, Liiox,-mn joHNsoN, Principal.

IN ALL OF OUR LIVES there comes a time when we feel the urge to express ourselves through one of the oldest arts, music. Whether' it depicts joy or sorrow, it nevertheless heeomes a part of our existence and thoughts, From primitive days on through the ages, man has found pleasure in his own world of music. Perhaps it is just a simple ditty hummed hy a toiling peasant, a ehild's nursery rhyme, the pompous notes of a hand, or the chant of soldiers marching to defend their eountryfhut all these present the opportunity to release varying emotions, Music takes many forms which may he evaluated only hy the individual who interprets it. One of these forms is American music, which ranges from the jazziest jazz to the sweetest symphony. Symholically it floats ahove the serene landscape of America, representing the spirit of a people who strive to maintain their democracy. May it continue to inspire us to the highest ideals and continue to keep the voice of sinfginji America forever free. ln order to sustain the ufour freedomsi' of our land, it has been necessary to eonseript a large force for land, sea, and air. Only through the hravery and fortitude of our service men will our ereeds be preserved. To those, then, who are endeavoring to keep the Spirit of America living, we earnestly dedicate this volume.
