Brown--BOYS' CLUB CABINET, Larry O'Neal, president Jim Locke, secretary gage' Zh! 1-fatda' ' TARTINC another successful year under the guidance of their new adviser, Mr. Harry Lemon, the Boys' Club ambitiously launched their longfterm reforestation project, the like of which has never previously been ittempted by a Highline Boys' Club. The project was planned in such a way that it will be the chief work of the Boys' Club for many years to come. This year's group did no actual work at the Highline reforestation area, as it was chiefly concerned with getting the project started and gaining planting experif ence for next year's cluh. This was done by groups of the fellows who planted hundreds of the small fir seedlings for the St. Paul Tacoma Lumber Co. The purpose of the Boys' Club reforestation project is to acquire a large tract of loggedfoff land and replant it. Then, during the course of the years, a Highline ski lodge and summer camp is planned to be built on the tract. It is a long, hard job, but the Boys' Club will continue to work hard on it and make it a great success. 1 The Boys' Club Cabinet was also working hard on other club sponsored programs during the year, Some of the more outstanding ones were an asscmf bly with Mr. Bruce Temple, diver for the King County Sheriffs Department, a very interesting talk hy Olax Ulland, world famous ski yumper g a series of morning talks, and an assembly on safe driving. Naturally the traditional spring outdoor meeting and noon dances were held, although 'iCld Faithful, the jukefhox, got sick and had to be sent to the hospital for a while. This year's cabinet was made up of the following fellows: Larry C'Neal, presidentg Scott Drimmel, vicefpresident, Jim Locke, secretaryg and Ted Braaf flat, treasurer. Appointed members were Vxfayne Coffee, Chuck Brown, and Dick Tomchalk, from the senior, junior, and sophomore classes respectively. Completing the list were Bob Citner and Bob lvIcCann, first and second semester Knights of Cutlass representatives. Scott Drimmel, vicefpresident Ted Braaflat, treasurer Page Fourlven

Boh Collins, vieefpresident Philip jacohson, treasuiti ITH a dehonair outlook and a sheaf of problems a foot thick, the student hody of 19491946 hegan an eventful year. Led hy the Board of Control composed of the student hody oflicers, class president, and president of the Boys' and Girls' Cluhs, the Associated Student Body made their goal the completion of Memorial Field. Assistance was given to the main governing hody hy the Student Council, made up of elected representatives from each senior high home room, The financing of lvlemorial Field gave the student organization many sleepf less nights. Promoting the sale of tickets, accepting donations, and trying new ways to raise the needed 325,000 were the primary duties of the Board of Control. Under the skilled direction of Don Willizims, various committees were chosen, their purpose heing to interview residents of the district who might wish to make a more substantial donation. The student hody as a whole participated in a subscription drive for the Glendale Highline Gazette and made over :sion in the process, which took another nick out of the goal. An all-community Christmas Ball given at the Spanish Castle was another addition to the cause. Pamphlets mailed to everyone in the district hrought a few more dollars. Almost every cluh, organization, and class in the school helped in some way to make this project a success. The other problems of school government, some small, some large, offered a good many headaches to those who tricd to comhat them. ln Fehruary a Student Leaders' Conference was held at Clover Park High School. Presiding were two University of Vxfashington seniors. The meeting was held not only to solve domestic prohlems, hut to promote interfschool relations.
