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.

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.

Vice- alma A vice-principal's iob has always been a tough one. Not only is the unfortunate man expected to perform his official tasks without any interruptions in school machinery, but thousands of unofficial ones with equal ease. Highline has been fortunate in that her two vice-principals, Mr. Carl Iensen of the Senior High, and Mr. Harold Rude of the Iunior High, have not only kept their tempers through the various crises of the year-evidenced by their smiles-but also have retained their sympathetic view-points and their sense of humor-note the ties. When in serious trouble it was to one of these men to whom the students turned, or were sent. The offenders or victims went, not always happily, but with the knowledge that iustice would be meted out. This unpleasant aspect of a vice-principal's iob is nevertheless an important one and there have been few complaints about the way in which it was handled. Mr. Iensen's duties also included vocational guidance. In this capacity he helped stu- dents select their branch of the service or the college for which they were best suited. Although not officially connected with the Boys' Club, he aided in acquiring several programs for that organi- zation throughout the course of the year. Mr. Rude's ability to recognize the individual personality of virtually every Iunior High student has enabled him to do an out- standing iob in his position of vice-principal and counselor. His fairness and ready smile have always been acknowledged as an integral part of Highline. Vice principals: CARI. IENSEN and HAROLD RUDE 71
