I I The people, still mouming the lost of this last global holocaust, are iust beginning the return to norrnalcy. They now look ior fitting memorials to their dead. But monuments of stone and iron are lifeless things which commemorate, not the courage and sacrifices. but the shameful lapse oi a so-called civilized world into the bar- barism of a primitive state. The memorials of this struggle should not be built and then abandoned to mould and cnunble away. They should retain the memory oi the past and be an inspiration for the present. They should take the form of educational and recreational facilities which will give youth the alert minds and vigorous bodies needed in building a world free from war. lust such a proiect is our own Memorial Field. Started one short year ago the athletic stadium has progressed well beyond the half way mark. Memorial Field will give Highline one of the best high school athletic fields of the state. It will help to build the physical and moral coinage which is the best tribute to those former students of Highline who have helped to make this country safe for democracy. It is, therefore. to all Living Memorials that we dedicate our book in the hope that communities all over the world wi on like memorials. 4: ll soon embark ..-. fi xx X ' -:SSH 53 'K A His 'il- LFE? f X 1 ...' ,,nt.

It is this very group, how- ever, uponwhom will rest the responsibility of organizing a world society which will rise above the scourge of war, lt will be their task to see that their sons will never be forced into another contlict which can only lead to the extinction of the race. Activities of the athletic stadiums will bring forth the physical per- fection which has been revered since the age of Pericles. It was this idea that led the students of Highline to begin their Memorial Field proiect. Starting out modestly proposing a S25,000 memorial. it soon expanded until it is estimated the completed field will now cost nearly three times that figure, With the backing of the newly fonned Citizens' Comm.ittee. the proiect should be completed post- haste, giving the community a real Living Memorial which will pre- serve the memory of the past, yet build for the future. In coniunction with our theme, Living Memorials, we are attempt- ing to make our yearbook a living embodiment of this fateful year of 1946 and its effect on these youthful citizens.

Principal L. F. JOHNSON Plans Memorial Field 77 'a77Ze4aa7e My message in last year's Pirates' Log was written in anticipation of the homecoming of more than eight hundred students and fonner students of Highline who were serving in the armed forces. The obligation to which we then referred has become doubly vital with the military victory, and it has become a sacred duty because of the two score or more vacant places in the ranks of the homecoming victors. We can meet this obligation only by continuing the fight for a better world. The national and international phases of this task we shall have to leave largely to our elected representatives. But we can all take part directly in the equally important community tasks: not the least of these is the building of a school to serve post-war needs. In Memorial Field we have undertaken a distinctive proiect, which we must push vigorously to completion, both as a special memorial to those who have labored and sacrificed for a better world and as a valuable addition in fitting our school to meet the needs of a community that has outstripped us in growth. We must accept the challenge and produce the best in plant equip- ment and curriculum. We must press on in pursuit of the ideal in school character and accomplishment.
