I can Umm, Wane to ga URDLING the confusion and turmoil which accompanied Highlinc's first peace' time graduating class in ive years, the 1946 seniors maintained a brisk pace against the gradual subsiding course of events. Herb Kent, Dick Vxkilker, Virginia Miller, and Ruth Denison guided and held in check the exuberant class. The wartime draft problem, although still present, was alleviated somewhat by a government order permitting students to remain in company with their books until graduation. Perhaps it was the removal of Uncle Sams omnipresent finger which enabled the Class of '46 to match and excel the scholastic records set by the preceding senior class. The slack in the raising of lvlemorial Field funds was partially taken up by the seniors with many boys laying at it with pick and shovel. The seniors' special conf tribution to the field was the erection of the fountain in Ivlemorial Corner. Though outstanding as a unit, the accomplishments of individual seniors shown even more brightly. Herb Kent, member of the forensic team which captured the state championship, was acclaimed the state's outstanding debater by Vxlishington State Colf lege judges. Doris Lande, Pirates Log Editor, held the lead in this year's AllfSchool Play, Ladies of the jury. The High Lines staif contributed its share of plunder rakers. Tom Blackshear hauled down twofhundred and Hfty dollars in winning the Northwest Williziiii Ranf dolph Hearst American History Contest. Flo Peters and Wzilt Lehman placed in Quill and Scrolls National Personality writing contest. Page Seventeen
