Plans devised to keep the year rolling smoothly received a slight setfhack when Joyce found it necessary to resign and Roma Still moved up to the office of president.

As the year progressed, the girls launched a program rich in activities. The first of these was the gala friendship party which was given in place of the BigfSister party, previously held in conjunction with the junior high girls, Ivlondays and Wediiesdays were set aside as middy days and a very popular feature was the monthly election of a Girl of the Ivlonthf' In the fall many of the leaders enjoyed the Girls' Cluh Conference at Kirkland, where many prohlems common to all girls' organizations were ironed out with the help of group discussion. One of the most important undertakings of the year was the mailing of the Ivlemorial Field pamphlets to all residents of the Highline district. This and the donation of seventy dollars was their contribution to the new athletic field. Other important events of the year were White Clothes Day, climaxed hy the crowning of the king and queen, Larry O'Neal and Arlene Burch, and later in the spring, the traditional IVIotherfDaughter Tea.

Tomchalk, Gitner, Coffee, lVlcCann. 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

May I have a permit to class, please? 'gCan you change a dollar? Somehody took my lock! These were a few of the demands made upon Mrs. Mary Fristed, Phyllis Walswcnrth, and Catherine Davidson, the new supervisors of the senior high office force. When she was not husy at her typewriter, Phyllis spent her time receiving donations for Memorial Field and handling other school fmancesg while Catherine, as clerk, kept accurate attendance records and held a restrain' ing hand on wouldfhe truants. With an increase in students and oflice work, it was necessary to increase the staff by one. Mrs. Fristed took charge of the permanent records and transcripts. The corps of student office girls was efficient in answering telephones, sorting mail, running errands, and hcing of general service to the office and students alike. In addition to the experience they received, these girls earned Torch credits. Rounding out a wellforganized oflice force was Flo Peters, student hody business manager. Flo, assisted hy Allene Malony, headed the annual contract drive and the sale of tickets for all games and plays. Not to he forgotten are the girls of the junior high office force, who spent many happy hours under the direction of their hoss, Mr. Rude, helping with the prohlems of the junior high and acquainting new students with the ways of Highline. In the congenial atmosphere of the little office, these girls kept attendance records, aided visitors, and did much the same work as the senior high office force. The central oflice served as the focal point of all school activity, and the headquarters for Memorial Field. Across the counter suhscriptions and donaf tions amounting to more than ten thousand dollars were gladly received for Highline's living memorial. Amid the confusion of ofiice activity there was always someone to help the hcwildered newcomer, or to give the omnipresent laggard a permit to class.
