The campus stretches on either side, cold and reserved in winter, but warm and lovely in the spring. This year more than two hundred graduates will move through the sun and shadows of this familiar scene. A few may not return, but all will carry with them, deeply imbedded in their memory, a picture ot a cam- pus that will grow increasingly beau- tiful. The immovable firs have seen a thousand dramas acted and re- enacted within the shadow of their tranquil branches-and not the least of these is the final scene when the curtain is pulled for the last time on the Class ot '47, II-TlEIE'I.EIE'LElEIEI I ' f W ,ElI:TLElE'lEIl.?LEIEIElE'IElE'I.EIII V ,L1Aw,,-1 f .f ,, ' 1 ' 1 . , ,,, ' - - R w .

This appeal of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt assumes special importance now that the nation has undertaken the great task of healing the wounds of war and launching a new experiment in preserving peace. The thoughts in the above paragraph may seem far removed from the theme of this yearbook. But we do not think so. Here on our campus and on all the campuses throughout our land thousands of high school students are practicing the art of living helpfully with others. Our campus is a living example of this spririt. Here, in spring, we revel in the breath-taking beauty of the cherry trees in bloom, remembering that they were gifts from the Nisei students, tokens of appreciation of what Highline had meant to them. Across the path we walk through Senior Park, a continuing venture in the cooperation and loyalty of each year's graduating class. Behind the building lies Memorial Field, the culmination of a combined and tremendous effort on the part of the community, the faculty, and the student body. This year's Senior Class plans to construct a fountain, banked by shrubbery and enhanced by a rockery as their gift to the campus. A stroll about the grounds will convince the most skeptical, that where such a spirit of cooperation is fostered, hatreds and preiudices give way to lasting friendships and tolerance, and foundation stones for peace are firmly laid. FIEEIEI HAROLD RUDE-CARL JENSEN, vice pri pals PERHAPS few schools are as fortunate as Highline in having for administrators, two men with such sincere interest in the welfare and happiness of the pupils as Mr. Jensen and Mr. Rude. Their role of vice-principal, with its attendant disciplinary responsi- bilities, has not lessened their enthusiasm for their work in the field of education at Highline to which they have given iointly more than a score of years. Our introduction to Highline was made under the genial and kindly guidance of Mr. Rude, eighth grade principal, who became Junior High principal the next year Always friendly and understanding as a former coach interested in all athletics, he yet could make us see the importance of accu- mulating knowledge. Beneath his jovial cynicism and repartee we recognized a sincere, helpful friend. Moving on to senior high we met Mr. Jensen, student personnel director, whose advice and guidance helped us over many a diffi- cult spot. His wide experience in recreational activities, summer camps, and winter sports, has made him keenly aware of youth problems, and his contact with vocational programs has fitted him to help us plan our own. ln the fall of 1945 he became vice- principal of senior high. In this position he has capably directed many student activities. And so, as we leave this campus, we dedicate our collection of memories, the 1947 edition of The Pirates' Log, to Mr. Harold Rude and Mr. Carl Jensen, as a small token of our utmost respect and deepest gratitude for all they have done to make our soiourn here a happy and profitable one. E'lEIE'I.!-JEIEE'I.EII.TlElE LEONARD F. JOHNSON. Principal E 'll-Il EI! HERE'S a man whom every stu- dent at Highline knows as a loyal, sincere friend, always approach- able and democratic. His keen interest in all activities and his attempts to bring the best to High- line have won wide recognition. No one can estimate the many hours of thought and labor he has spent on Memorial Field, pictured below. Ever alert and energetic he can be seen dashing hither and yon, checking, changing and arranging, ever attending to last minute de- tails. His unbounded enthusiasm and ability to carry a proiect to its successful consumation, together with his devotion, heart and soul to Highline, have resulted in making this school one ofthe most progres- sive in the state. I?lEJI':T'lE.lI':TlElE-TU-J MOST fitting indeed is the theme, Our Campus, chosen for this year's Pirates' Log. ln common with all sections of our country, we are happy to be engaged in reconstruction instead of destruction. Our immediate concern in this reconstruction revolves about our campus, and our hopes have already taken visible form in Memorial Field and in the extensive additions being made to our building. For the former, compliments must be extended to our student body, who undertook and financed the enterprise with the aid of voluntary contri- butions from the community. For the latter we sincerely thank our School Board for their timely planning, and the voters of the district for their support in voting the necessary money. Our ultimate concern in the post-war reconstruction also centers in our campus and in all the campuses of America. Will improved physical equipment stimulate us to higher intellectual endeavor? Will the better buildings contribute to the building of better character? Will the en- larged facilities result in a wider vision? Will our association together in a more favorable environment give us a deeper sympathy for the needs of people in less favored surroundings? Will better leaders emerge from the youth of today to bring peace and security to a world that has here- tofore been subject to the desolation of famine and the havoc of war? Our improved campus is at once an achievement and a challenge. The achievement belongs to the past, the challenge remains for the future. -A Message from L. F. JOHNSON, Principal. E ELE E'IElE'I.ElE'lE.lEi'IEl icwhma 7 As I write an ode to Highline, I'm reminded of a dame Called Juliet, who warbled, O there's nothing in a name. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, she said- But Juliet was love-struck and it settled in her head. I'm sure another name would take the glamour from the rose, If it were called skunk cabbage, we would surely hold our nose. But rose gives added lustre to the red and yellow hues, And adds a subtle perfume that we otherwise would lose. Our school is christened Highline, there's an uplift in the name, It calls to high endeavor, it inspires a lofty aim. To voice the name of Highline makes us work with greater zest, For there's magic in the word that spurs us on to do our best. When I become discouraged and trammeled down with care, There's potency in Highline pulls me out of my despair And turns my wayward footsteps up the hill instead of down, It lifts me from my doldrums, turns my cross into a crown. So as I face the sunrise each day to bear my load, With a rosebud in my buttonhole, I'Il take the Highline road. I'II waft a tinge of perfume as I gallivant along - Let Julie chant her dirges-I'II give the world a song! Writing in a happy mood, Cyrus L Gilbert, former Highline mentor and bard, has contributed the above bit of verse to this year's Pirates' Log.

BAKER Superintendent ofH1gl1line School District MPROVING the campus and high school, with the addition of thc new physical education and music departments, and the new junior high wing. is only one of the many accomplishments of the High' line Board of Directors. Another effort to meet the needs of an everfexpanding school system and inf creasing enrollment is the huilding of the Hazel Valley Elementary School, which is already well under way. Sometime during the coming year the new addif tion to the high school will he ready for occupancy. In this new huilding will he one of the hestf equipped, modern gymnasiums in the Puget Sound League. Moreover, the music departments will see their dreams come true with the availahility of sev' eral sound-proof practice rooms. The junior high is far from heing excluded. A new Iihrary and several classrooms are to he theirs in the 5564101300 fire' resistant structure. WitIi their respective terms totaling more than seventyffive years of service to this school district, the hoard memhers are well qualified for their imporf tant positions. The memhers are: Arnold Drimmel. president, Donald Pollock, vicefpresidentg Willizim Furman, I I. Scottg and Dr. Victor Thompson. With the resignation from the schooluhoard of President Arnold Drimmcl, Mr. Pollock was elected to a three-year term as the new president and Dr. Thompson as vicefpresident. S. Paulson was elected as the new memher of the hoard. Wcmrking with the school hoard is Superintendent L. D. Baker, who is serving in his seventeenth year in the Highline District. Before he took his present office five years ago, Mr. Baker was principal of Highline High School. Another former memher of the high school faculty is Mr. Lyle Davcrin, who is secretary of the hoard and husiness manager for the district. Highline students extend their appreciation to the directors for their untiring efforts in keeping the I-Iighline School District in the top ranks of the state educational system. MR.

To receive counsel for their new responsibilities as leaders, Bruce Weise, student body president, accompanied by Zona Daverin, Girls' Club president, and Bill Case, Boys' Club president, began the year by attending the Leaders' Conferf ence at the University of Wtshington early in October, Information obtained through group discussion at this conference helped them in planning a successful school year. Among their accomplishments was the official opening of Nlcmorial Field, which netted the association more proceeds from games than had ever been accumulated before, Students purchased almost 1,500 activity contracts, and sold nearly 5,000 tickets for the opening game on Highlincs war memorial. Toward the end of the year, funds for the furthering of the Held were appropriated through selling subscriptions to the Burien Times and Glendale Recorder, Supplementing the work of the student body ollicers and guiding the affairs of the association as a whole, were this year's Board of Control, consisting of the following student body officers: student body president, vicefpresident, secretary, treasurer, and business manager. Girls' and Boys' Club presidents, officers of each class. editors of the publications, and yell queensfall of these provided an effective aid to student government. Mr. Leonard plohnson, Mr, Carl Jensen, and Mr. Lawrence Lcmmel were faculty advisers, Bruce XX'eise, president Barbara Hamrick, vicefpresident Bill Hassen, treasurer.

HERISHING the hope that the schools could makc their contrif 'bution toward a happier world, officers and cabinet members of the girls' clubs of the Puget Sound League met at Auburn in the early fall and adopted Better Understanding Between People as their working theme. Ofhcers for the year were: Zona Daverin, president, Charmalee Prentice, vicefpresident, Joanne Winner, secretary, and Sebille Earling, treasurer, with Mrs. Betty Welsh as faculty adviser. Activities throughout the year, based on this idea, began with the Girls' Club Conference at Auburn, where many problems, common to the organization, were discussed. Helping international relations and highlighting the conference was a roundtable discussion by university exchange students from China, Greece, Holland, and Peru. Following the conference, the Highline Girls' Club sponsored a Friendship Day Tea to welcome the novices by making them feel a part of the school. Pointing the way toward the part personality plays in better relation' ships were assemblies on appearance, boy and girl relationships, and vocational guidance. Community and international needs were not overlooked in the busy schedule as the Social 'Welfare Committee sponsored a Thanks' giving food drive for a needy family in the community and a drive for clothes to be sent overseas. School appearance was brightened by the addition of geraniums and ferns to the boxes on the stairway landings. A popular feature continued this year was the monthly selection of the Girl of the Month. Culminating the year's events were White Clothes Day, climaxed by the crowning of the king and queen, and election day with the usual melee of campaigns and speeches. The Mother and Daughter Tea and installation of oHicers added the finishing touch to the year with its novelty. About three hundred mothers with their daughters attended the impressive installation ceremony and the afternoon tea which followed in the beautiful Duffy gardens. An informal style show was staged near the spacious pool, followed by the tea. Heading the various committees which have led to a successful conclusion of the year's activities are Ruth Owen, historian, Donna jenkins, publicity and Girls' Club paper, Lois Day, standards, Donna Bardell, cafeteria patrol, Gretchen Poggel, friendship, Flo Hooper, teas, Janice Hunt, girls' room, Margaret Gitner, social welfare, joan Horton, lost - Q3 .- and found, Irene Lingwood, art, and Carol MX 4 QQ?

ORKINC for the improvement of the campus was one of the major projects of the Boys' Club. Under the leadership of Mr. Harry Lemon, faculty adviser, and President Bill Case, this project contributed much to Highline's appearance and reputation. The Boys' Club tackled many new responsibilities and problems around school this year. Selling beverages at the football games was one of the main ones. Many of the patrons still remember the potent cider consumed in the cool evenings of the games. One of the more diflicult problems was the curbing of smoking on the school grounds. An extensive campaign was begun with posters and announcements to bring about the control of this situation. The Boys' Club also worked for better conduct at school activities and attempted to restrain the wall-carving artists. ln the Blue Room to the tunes of Old Faithful, the juke box, dances served for relaxation. Old Faithfull' held up through a strenuous year with the help of the mechanicallyfminded geniusesg however. she suffered a broken foot while in transit to the Burien Fieldhouse. During the year there were a number of flne entertainments on the club's agenda. A home-talent program consisting of several hardy boys who told of their mountain climbing experiences and showed slides of their adventures contributed to the first one. Another out' standing meeting was a joint junior and Senior High Boys' Club assembly in which Jo jo White, the Hery manager of the Seattle Rainiers, was the main speaker. Mr. Vernon Thompson of Seattle told vital facts concerning vocational opportunities at the spring meeting. Crowding the calendar of events was the annual outdoor program with its bike races and juniorfsenior tugfoffwar. Controlling powers were vested in Bill Case. president, Ken Teller. vicefpresidentg Ron Walker, treasurerg and Jack Mickelson, secretary. While the indispensable heads of Boys' Club, the cabinet, consisted of Richard Aries, senior representativeg Richard Anderf son, junior high Boys' Club president, and Bruce Wcise. student body president, contributed much to the Boys' Club program. lil' A, Bill Case, prexidenz V Ken Teller, vice president Rf!! jack Nlickelson secretary cw 4, Ronald Walker treasurer Q Mr. Harry Lemon adtzser Row 3: Gitner, Day, Iaber, Gill, Abplanalp, Hansen.

Mrs Nellie Brown Katherine Remick Phyllis Walswortli Allene Maloney MID the cries of Was there a pair of shoes turned in? . . . Do I have enough credits to graduate? . . . May I please have an excuse to class? . . .the ofiice force efficiently carried on its many duties. The ofhce was a focal point of all business brought by teachers and students, and it required diligent work to make everybody satisfied. Under the title of secretary was Miss Phyllis Walsworth, whose little ofiice was overfloaded by the amount of work handled each day. When Phyllis was not busy counting money, her duties ranged from fixing broken locks to clicking off a letter on the typewriter. Mrs. Nellie Brown could be greeted as she peeked over the counterg however, her height has no reflection on the work she did. She was always seen busy keeping accurate attendance records and holding a firm hand on all suspicious truants. Her ability to administer new ideas for improving the present system was indeed recognized by everyone. Clarice Bray and Mary Alice Bowen, student workers, assisted Mrs. Brown partftime each day. In charge of transcripts and permanent records was Miss Kathryn Remick, working steadily at the typewriter to keep the records of students accurate. To round off an efficient office crew, each period there were two girls working for Torch credit and gaining worthfwhile experience doing many jobs, such as running errands, sorting mail, filing and gathering attendance slips. Several girls at the first of the year helped clean out the files for Mr. Jensen. They spent their study periods making new folders for new students and moving each class up a drawer to its new class. Some girls also helped making out the new class schedules for the office files. The student body manager, Allene Maloney, rightly earned her title for her efficient work in handling the activity contract sales and ticket sales at games and assemblies. Spending happy and amusing moments were the girls in the junior high office under the direction of Mr. Rude. Their duties were some' what similar to those in the main office, such as posting the attendance, running errands, and answering the phone.

ELL. we made it, sighed the seniors as they hesitantly drifted from the campus of their Alma Materw some never to return. The four years had somehow slipped hy, and now only their own amhition and imagination dictated what lay ahead. But during their last year of high school life, they looked to George Matelich, Dick Rhemke, .Ioan Le May, and Jerry Engeho for their guiding spark of leadership. Excelling in forensic activities, several seniors took high honors in the various debates and oratorical contests sponsored during the year. Wanda Summers and jack Miekelf son, in an attempt to retain the cup won last year, placed third in the state champion dehate. Another master in the science of polemics, Bill Wing, took fourth place in the American Legion Qratorical Contest. Carl Blatz hrought honor to the school hy his entrance in the State Resources Qratorical Contest. By winning first in the community and then first in the district, he was eligihle to participate in the state finals. There, he won second place and as a prize, a Westinglimmuse radiofphonograph comhination. Competing in the Breakfast Cluh Essay Contest, Grace Dolgner and Janice Hunt won third and fifth prizes, respectively, for their entries on In What Way Does Religion Strengthen the Foundations of Democracy? A later contest, sponsored hy the American Legion and WcJmen's Auxiliary, was won hy Carl Blatz, Alden Clark, and Marilou Gilmore. Their suhject was The Home-Cradle of Good Citizenship. One of the most extravagant events of the year, the allfschool play, junior Miss, had a cast consisting of practically all seniors. Cast as the juvenile heroine was Nancy Miles with Charmalee Prentice as her wayward chum and Carl Blatz, John Mickelson, Jeannine Clement, Flo Hooper, and Jean Mitchell as her hewildered family. In the Western Washington Music Meet, the class of '47 was well represented. Superior ratings were awarded to the class prima donna, Marilou Gilmore, and to the senior string trio, Excellent ratings were received hy Paul Lewan, Dawn Bliss, Art Holcomh, and Gloria Patterson. This class also rated high scholastically, having a good percentage on the honor roll and on Torch. One of the last activities the seniors entered was the staging of Shakespeare's great fivefact comedy, L'As You Like lt. Starring in the leading roles of Orlando and Rosalind were two seniors, Gerald Poesnecker and ,lean Bowie. 'F QS Q55 ii Uris BETTY LOU ABSTONA-Entered from Cleveland High School.

NCE MORE the time of caps and gowns. proeessionals. and diplomas had arrived as Highline graduated the largest senior class in its history. Because of its size. plans were made to hold the exercises this year on Iviemorial Field. weather permitting. The class again voted to graduate in caps and gowns. marking the fifth consecutive year in which the pupils have followed this procedure. As is customary the seniors selected two of the commencement speakers. this year Carl Blatz and Zona Daverin. Both were well qualified candidates. heing active in dehate and in many service organizations. Selected as the faculty choice were Allene Maloney and Alden Clark. These students, too, held responsihle positions during the year. Allene was Student Body Business MZIHLIQCT. while Alden held the editorship of the Pirates' Log. The speakers finally chose GSMLISTC as a Unifying Influence Toward Vxairld Peacel' for their commencement night theme. Alden Clark. the first speaker, spoke on the effect of music in hringing international unity to the people of the world: Zona Daverin developed the suhject of the power of religious music and its effect upon the com' munityg while Carl Blatz analyzed the use of music as a force in the national scheme. The concluding speaker was Allene lvlaloney speaking on music in the home. Carrying away the top scholastic honor as valedictorian was Gloria Patterson with an outstanding 3.97 average. Following up as salutatorians were Allene lvfaloney and lvlargaret Perko. whose grade point averages were so nearly equal that hoth received this high honor. The following seven completed the top ten who led in scholastic achievement: Janice Hunt, Vxfinda Summers. Merzild Lelvloine, Carl Blatz. Zona Daverin, Lois Day. and Carol Youngs. Speaker at the annual haecalaureate service was Dr. Harold V. Qlensen. pastor of the First Baptist Church. Highline's musical groups also contrihuted to the enjoyment of the program. The haccalaureate committee was headed hy Alune Buswell. Bonnie lvlarshall. head of the Class Day committee. helped to make this event a memorahle success. Besides the reading of the class will and history. entertainment of various types was provided hy the senior class. Clirnaxing the program. however. was the reading of the will and prophecy. during which grade school and hahy pictures of Highline seniors were projected on a screen for all to see. And so ended Class Day with the traditional singing of Sailing On. It's a small world VV? dabble in oils Home was neue? like this Can you bake o. cherry pic?

Earl Wig. .loan Horton, and Vada .laber---president, vicefpresident, secretary, and treasurer, respectively, of the dynamic junior class. Much glory was brought to Highline by the junior's contribution to the athletic prowess of the Pirates in the field of sports. Earl Vxfbg, Newt Kier, Vxkillace Barker, and Avery Miller dominated between the goals with the hard pushing help of Glen Carlson, Dick Tomchalk, and Bob Armstrong. Urging their fellow classmates on to fight were Eunice Baze. attractive Homecoming Queen, and La Rae Abplanalp, the only junior girl who was chosen yell queen. Hardly had the newly acquired football letters grown cold, when the eager '48'ers were pounding the basketball floor. Don Bonner. Earl Vslig, and Bob Armstrong, headed by Don Olson and Bob Stone did much to keep the Pirate Five in the upper division of the county league. With great pride, .loan Horton, junior track queen, pointed to her class as chamf pion of the interclass track meet. During the same season the baseball nine, well represented by members of this illustrious group, was one of the strongest the school has seen in recent years. That seventh inning rally was not always necessary, remif nisced 'Casey at the bat. But don't think all athletic honors go to the masculine side of the junior classg Thyra Lou Kent easily flashed by as the outstanding girl racket' wielder in the recent spring tennis tournament. Possessing all the qualities of a wellfrounded personality, the junior class also indulged in scholastic and social activities with great success. Witli the aid of talented junior students, Eunice Baze presented the first junior assembly. Taking time out from their duties on the Highline stage, they took charge of a dance at the Burien Field House fit is noted that this was one of the biggest dances of the yearj. Exhibiting true leadership ability, the juniors took over the huge task of decorating for Comf mencement. Those who diligently slaved on the Committee were Patti Shoemaker, Lura Halstrom, Alcan Craig, Ed Angevine, and Ray Qndracek. But all was not play and no work! This section of the younger generation possessed true powers of scholastic attainment. Orchestra, band, and the editorial staff of the High Lines found the juniors abundantly represented. State recognition was added by ,lean Craig's Scholasf ticl' award for fashion design. lt was with extreme pride that Donald Simpson, class adviser, Q5 reviewed the passing parade of this year's junior classg but the group, amidst exciting dreams and hopeful sighs, were looking forward to their senior year! ff 2.533 ABPLANALP, LA RAE ABRAHAMSON, BETTY ADAMS, RICHARD ANGEL, ADA ANGEVINE, ED ANTHONY, IJORDON APPLEGATIT.

', ,J S the sophomore class of '47 graduated to become the juniors of '48, its members looked back on a wellfrounded year of school life. Piloted by class officers Bill Kirk, president, Arlen Hamann, vicefprcsidentz Mary ,lane Hansen, secretary, Mike Colasurdo, treasurer, and Mr. Lemmell, faculty adviser, the Babes of the senior high have participated in nearly every phase of high school life. Bound to be one of Highline's most prominent classes in athletics, the Babes of the senior high participated in every high school sport this year. A major award was earned on the football gridiron by Bob Haffey, halffback, while second team letters were presented to Mike Colasurdo, Jerry Nash, Ken Thompson, and Dick Wells, hard working lads who showed great prospects for next year. Sophomore boys also won recognition in basketball as members of the second team. Witli the coming of spring the class continued to prove itself athletically inclined when it produced several baseball and track stars plus contenders for the minor sports, tennis and golf. Girls were not excluded from sports as many sophomore lasses turned out for H.G.A.A. and Betty Morgan played girls' singles on the tennis squad. Athletics was not the only field in which the class of '49 took part. Band, orchestra, and glee club called many class members while others were attracted to debate and drama. Beverly Bartleson should be given special recognition for her fine debating which helped to bring home the second place cup at the C.P.S. Tournament. ln March the sophomores entertained the senior high with an audience participation assembly. Bob Davies, Al Pretty, and jerry Macflomberly, of KJR, were called upon to act as masters of ceremonies, and their Truth or Consequences show provided fun for all. ln scholastic work the fortyfniners also placed high. Thirtyffour class members were awarded Torch pins and honor roll lists were long. During the year the following names were included on grand honor roll: Basil Anex, lrene Albrecht, Beverly Barf tleson, Mary Sue Hallowell, Hedwig Perko, Margaret Plumb, and Clifford Schattenkerk. The class of '49 has truly upheld Highline's high standards and will conf tinue to do so in the years to come. si X .S ' A lk N 39 Row 4 frorj: Bardell, Anex, Concliro, Angove, Bellack, Boggs, Boutiette Bell, Row 3: Anabcll, Alanko, Baker, Broughton, Akers, Abbott, Bacon, Akehurst Row 2 V.

Sllllllllll Clllll LIIIIDE O LONGER a Slave to Amhitionn rang through the corridors when Senior Torch sponsored their annual assembly with lvar Hagland as guest. lt was at this assembly that the senior memhers of Torch Society stepped into the limelight with the greatest numher of memlaers that they had ever had. Through Ivlargaret Perko's eiliorts and Mr. liarl Trowhridges assistance. many seniors were discovered to have enough scholastic and activity credits to helong to the society, Since so many seniors were in this organization. commencement this year saw more of them graduating with Torch honors than in any preceding year. The focal point of this groups interest was the annual Seniors Day. lt is on this day that all senior memhers of Torch visit an educational or civic institution. Une day in early lvlay the entire group emharkcd for the county jail. Then, after a short visit there, they so-iourned to the University of Vxfashington where they were guests at some classes. Afterward, the group enjoyed dinner at the ljdmond lvleany Hotel and climaxed the eventful day hy attending the Penthouse.

ITIHGIHI Cllm LIIIIDE ORCH again proved itself to be a growing organization as a new high of eightyfone students topped the previous year's membership when school began last fall. These students had fulhlled the requirements for the honor society-a B average in scholastic work and the required number of activity points for extrafcurricular work-- and were entitled to become members of Highline's intelligentsia. The year began for these upfandfcoming scholars when they met on the stage of the auditorium for their annual Torch assembly, After a welcoming speech to new members by President lvlargaret Perko, and a report from Secretary Lorraine and Treasurer Elaine Rottrup, Carl Blatz, performing his duties as vieefpresident, presided over a program of Torch talent. Mr, Earl Trowbridge, faculty adviser, outlined the requirements for Torch. Speaker for the day was lvar Hagland, who spoke on the history of the Puget Sound country and also entertained the students with his guitar and songs of the Northwest. Pins were presented to Torch members by Mr. Johnson. The highlight of the year for many of the Torch members, however, was the initiation party at the Des Mtnines iieldhouse. Un this occasion older Torch members conspired against the new Torchees to provide fun for everyone. Looking into the future, predictions are for still new membership records in years to come. Students are being offered a wider range of activities through which they can earn Torch credits every year and more and more are taking advantage of them. During the past year points could be earned by participation in sports, music, drama, and other outside work. Academic credits present the biggest problem to the prospective Torch member but through diligence and hard work even this obstacle can be hurdled. Horton, Abplanalp, Dalton, E.

Spotlighting the year's aetivities was the full length drama, Junior Miss. lt was from this produetion that Drama Shoppe gained many new memhers, who were initif ated at a gala dinner and theatre party, Witli the advent of a new elass in drama during the second semester, many cluh memhers participated in the class aetivities with the staging and producing of As You Like lt under Miss Shipley's direction.

These were loaned to whoever wished to read them. At the end of the year the memher who hought the hook reelaimed it. Book reviews of these hooks and any others which memhers had read and enjoyed were given, Mrs. klencks olfered many valuahle suggesf tions. and reported on many authors whose works memhers had read. The social aetivities of the group included a vcry successful dinner and theatre party. Memhers attended the famous 'kHenry V at the lvletropolitan Theatre.

GO0D IIIEII MID TRUE ERVICE is their motto, and service to Highline's Campusites was provided by the Knights of Cutlass who this year began a reorganization in which membership was limited to thirtyffiveftwentyffive boys from the senior class and ten from the junior class. With a smaller group working under the advisership of Mr. Jensen and Mr. Lemmel, much was accomplished. At all the home football games Cutlass members were in their gold sweaters and white shirts. The crew kept the crowds in order and performed other service aids. During the basketball season the group ushered again at the basketball jamboree. Home basketball games also saw the organization assisting in the Hcrackerboxf' But by far the major project was their patrolling of the halls. Seeing that one-way tralbc was observed and preventing unnecessary congestion in the halls was their achieved goal. Another service project undertaken by this group was the student supervision of many of the P,T.A. sponsored dances held during the year. With the keynote of service still dominating, the organization helped run off the spring track meets. One of the outstanding events in the calendar of activities was the National Collegif ate Swimming Meet held at the University of Washington. Cooperating with other organizations, they aided the Boys' Club in the antifsmoking campaign, and cofsponf sored four dances with the P.fT. A. after basketball games at the Burien Heldhouse. Early in April a Campus Day was held. Lawns were trimmed, mowed, and raked, shrubbery was pruned, and a genearl clean-up was made of the campus. A partyfdance later in the year also attracted the group. Returned service man, Willis jacobus, served as skipper, assisted by Neb blaber, first mate, and Carl Blatz, scribe.

CIIIIIPUS EIITHIISIIISTS F STARTING the new year right insures an eventful remaining year, then Pep Club can look back to the Homecoming Day and Dance and say, 'We're the cause of it all. In early October, Mr. Swenson. Pep Club adviser, informed the members it was time to dust off the football bleachers and roll out the plush hall carpets to welcome back the grads, many of whom were home for the first time in years. Adding to the importance of the occasion was a football game with Lake Vxfashington, the first Home' coming game to be played in the evening on Iviemorial Field. The luncheon, grad meeting, football game, and dance came and went in quick succession. However, many of the wonderful events, such as the crowning of the Homecoming Queen, Eunice Baze, by football Captain Willis klacobus, can still be remembered. Despite the fact that many veterans were back in school and the man shortage lessened, the Pep Club realized that shy guys were still prevalent, so the Valentines Day tolo, Cupid Capers, was held at the Des Mcvincs fieldhouse. Girls had to take the initiative again in April when Pioneer Day, also sponsored by Pep Club, was announced tolo. Pigtails and pinafores, weekfold beards, and jeans were the required regalia for the day. An historical assembly built around the settlement of the community, a noon dance, and an evening dance in the gym made up the enter' tainment. Highlighting the dance in the evening was a program by Mrs, Thyra Kent and a male quartet. Helping to guide the Pep Club through its busy year were Ronald Wzilker, prcsidentg Cpal Harstad, vicefpresidcntg LaVerne Peltzer, secretary, and Newt Kicr, treasurer.

BO0H CIIRD... PLEIISE UCKED away in the hack of the study hall was this courageous group of super sleuths. No prohlem was too great, and with clever tracing these girls could produce most needed information just hefore that test. Praise is certainly due these helpful girls who, under the guidance of Miss Claudia Nichols, performed a multitude of thankless tasks. Every period and hefore and after school two or more of them could he found checking out hooks and magazines, cataf loging, searching for lost volumes. and mending well-worn pages. Keeping the lihrary in working order at all times is hardly an easy joh in the midst of a melee of last minute Hcrammersug however, with calm dexterity these girls managed to keep their satisfied customers. THE SPIRIT 0F '47 WHISPER IT! Speak it! Yell it! OK., let's go!! This was one of the many yells heard on Tuesday night practices of the Yell Cluh. Led hy this year's elected queens, Irene Weiler, Shirley Shukis, and La Rae Ahplanalp, each memher was helped to improve her movements and was taught new yells. Helpful criticisms were given to aid them in making good future yell queens. The aim of the cluh is to give each aspiring girl a chance to hecome a yell leader. lt also encourages good support at the games and a true school spirit around the campus. HETREIIT FHOIll CLIISS VERY period of the school day a Florence Nightingale watched over the Girls' Room, bandaging cuts, spraying throats, and tackling the husky football players, who seemed to have a weakness for the peace and quiet of that particular room. Ably supervised by ,Ianice Hunt, head of the Girls' Room committee, Mrs. Welsli, Girls' Room adviser, and Miss Gandolfo, the Girls' Room attendants cared for the sick and handled emergencies with aplomb. Aside from the tender care of the ill, the Girls' Room attendant had to cope with bewildered students inquiring if articles they had lost had been found. High praise is to be given these girls who have devoted one period a day to mainf taining tranquility and order in the Girls' Room. PUT 'Em IIP! HSAY! Haven't you forgotten something? That stool belongs back in its own special place. Reminders such as this issued from our Cafeteria Patrol every day to those delinquent students who created disorder and messiness in the lunchroom, Donna Bardell, president of the Cafeteria Patrol, supervised the girls in keeping the cafeteria neat and orderly. The crowded conditions of the school this year made their task no easy one. Through the efforts of these girls. cheeriness reigned in the cafeteria in the form of bright and humorous posterfreminders and chic red ribbons worn by the girls to identify their group. The addition of candy machines and the sale of pop made the Cafeteria Patrol's task a manfsized one, but each girl performed her assigned duty efficiently and adequately. Q..

Although it was late in the year, they started a new project of writing to students from foreign countries. Letters received were read and enjoyed hy the group. The main activity of the year was the sponsoring of a Christmas story contest. Two separate prizes were awarded, one to the junior high and one to the senior high, Win' ners were Verna Ness, junior high, and Elaine Rottrup, senior high. Social event for the year was an initiation party held on Halloween at the home of Carol Youngs. All memhers will long remcmhcr the scavenger hunt which followed.

THE HIGHUIIWIIIEII NFORCING safety measures and promoting hetter cooperation among the drivers, state patrolmen and pupils is the joh of these hard working memhers of the Bus Patrol. In an effort to conquer the overcrowded conditions of the Highline huses, this organization accepts the responsibilities of stopping traiiic while the huses load and unload, escorting the grade school children across highways and keeping the students in orderly groups. Besides these activities the hus patrolmcn enjoy a complete program of amusements. Baskethall games, picnics, and thc annual free trip to the Playland Amusement Park are a few of the outstanding activities offered. However, seeking pleasure was not the main purpose of this group as was shown hy the capahle way in which they handled their joh.

REEL IIIIIIDEBS ONATING their study periods, protecting precious films against damage, and obliging particular pupils who wanted the sound turned down or the lights turned on are but a few of the many duties of the movie operators. These busy students and their faculty adviser, Mr. Simpson, have shown approximately two hundred movies to more than three thousand pupils during the past year, and deserve credit for minimum film breaks and uninterrupted shows. Movies have been shown to science, history, cooking, sewing, and drama classes and have varied from How to Sew a Buttonholew to football plays of the Army eleven. Students especially enjoyed such favorites as Alan Ladd, Raymond Massey, and Laurence Olivier. Colored cartoons were also presented on the development of various phases of American life. Under the watchful eyes of Mr. Donald Simpson, faculty adviser, the movie oper- ators have truly given a year of real service to Highline's educational program. DIIRH B00lTl IIDDICTS WITH CAMERAS in hand and a gleam of anticipation in their eyes, Highlines camera fans were on the prowl again. They discussed technical operations weekly in room 144 where President Dick Leavenworth presided over meetings and assisted Mr. Herbage in giving valuable information on the knack of taking good pictures. ln the spring, with the coming of more photogenic weather, these camera clicking students sponsored their annual shutterbug contest. With everyone in the student body eligible to enter, the benefit of Camera Club was brought out as Dick Leavenworth and Bill Wing, both club members, won Hrst and second prizes respectively. Camera Club, aside from giving the fun of picture taking to all members, affords a chance for all students who cannot take photography to learn the arts of developing and printing.

A special responf sibility was taken by the girls at the Mother-Daughter Tea, commencement, baccaf laureate, and all evening performances, in seeing that the patrons and pupils were comfortably seated. Because so many Highlinites were anxious to give a bit of service at school functions, membership was finally restricted to juniors and seniors only, with the 'exception of a few sophomores. lt was a victorious year for the club because the group was the first to usher on the new Memorial Field, They played their own game of dancing around to keep warm, not to mention sneaking an occasional hot dog or a bottle of pop. A committee under the guidance of Lydia Palmer, faculty adviser, and Mary Sanders, president, formed a Code of Law-s which was the goal the club worked to fulfill. Miss Palmer expressed appreciation to the club for the girls who did such an outstanding job of service for the school.

' 1 DOUIII III BIICH HE lure of the white slopes and glistening hickories drew some hundred students to thrills and spills as the king of winter sports, skiing, heralded the beginning of winter. Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet could keep these hearty souls from hoarding the ski train for a day of fun. They looked forward to each Ski Sunday with anticipation, for who was to know when that wonderful moment would come when they could glide effortlessly over the slopes standing up, something unusual in the heginning weeks. Mr. Jensen and the snow hahics chose Safety First as their motto and followed the rules of controlled skiing so carefully that they were hampered by only one serious injury during the season. Using this rule, novices quickly advanced to the more diflicult parallel turns and stem christies under competent guidance from nineteen skilled instructors on the practice runs of the Milwaukee Ski Bowl. Seniors, looking back wistfully to free instruction, good food, and wholesome fun, are safe in predicting that next year will prohahly see an even greater number than ever heeding the All Aboard and heading for the hills.

Combining required scholastic work with extrafcurricular activities, the qualifications for junior high Torch members correspond to those of the senior high: a B average or better and at least one activity point, the latter of which may be earned by being of additional service to the school in some way. Thus, a Torch member becomes a person of service as well as a good student. 0l'lLV IIIIIHE BELIEVE VIUNICR High Drama Club again was limited to twentyfiive members this year, although this was more diihcult than ever, because of the myriad talents offered by the junior high students. No plays were presented this year, but several members displayed their individual abilities in a talent assembly presented early in the second semester. Oiiicers of the club were Roger Read, presidentg Monna Rae Matthew, vice' presidentg and Patty Stewart, seeretaryfall of whom filled their respective offices with ease and ability, Miss Carson again gave the Thespians her helpful assistance as the adviser and coach of the club. This year was not as successful for the drama fans as they would have hoped it to be, since many of the plans made at the first of the year could not be carried out because of the heavy teaching schedule of the adviser and the limited staging accom' modations. 5II0llI IIS THE IIIIW SHERETTE CLUB was an active organization, made up of both eighth and ninth grade girls. Usherettes were chosen from the Torch Society in the ninth grade. The eighth grade usherettes, not being members, were selected as possible future Torch members. The ushcrettes were girls of high standing, good citizenship, and responsibility. The head usherette and president of the Usherette Club was Juanita Jaber. She and the vicefpresident, Virginia Bess, led the meetings. Under the direction of their advisers, Miss Phyllis Seymore and Miss Mildred Olson, the girls have helped to make the assemblies a success. There was an usher posted at each of the doors in the auditorium, where they directed the students to their seats. The Usherettes were responsible for getting thc students seated quickly and quietly and they did so with courtesy and real efficiency. lllII'lGED FO0T SEIITIIIELS THIS year the halls, beanery, junior high football games, and the outside grounds were patrolled again by the efficient and helpful Knights of the Service. This group has been invaluable in keeping students in line and keeping the beanery free of paper and lunch sacks. During the junior high football games, they patrolled the track and kept the students off the gridiron. Spring found them organizing a clcanfup day, which left the campus in a much better condition. In addition they cooperated with the Knights of the Cutlass in keeping smoking down to a minimum. Recognized by their red sweaters, emblazoned with winged feet, these boys have successfully completed a year of efficient patrolling with Mr. Taylor as faculty adviser, and jack Marlowe eapably filling the office of president. These boys deserve a vote of thanks for a job exceptionally well done.

The turnout was good, with an A enthusiastic crowd going up on the ski train to the Milwaukee Ski Bowl and a weary crowd coming back. Only once, the first day, was the weather rainy, but the I-Iighliners' enthusiasm could not be dampened so easily and a large number skied every Sunday during the season. To Mr. Carl Jensen, ski adviser, Mr. Hans Thompson, instructor, and Gilbert Isles, president, goes the skiers' gratitude. PETITE PEPSTEBS PEP CLUB, this year more than ever, was the backbone of all the junior high games. Three attractive and capable girls, Monna Rae Matthews, Yolanda Verdi, and Patty Stewart, were chosen as this year's yell queens. Because of a change in the constitution, they were selected by voting of the junior high in the early part of the school term. The officers of the club, its real mainspring, were Gerry Tallent, president, Elsie Karsgaard, vicefpresidentg and Marion Engebo, secretary. Adviser of this popular organization was Miss Emery.

After many practice dchates. the eluh. under the new advisership of Mr. blames C'Brien, Highlines speech punster and quipmaster. the group emharked for College of Puget Sound. It was at this college where the university style team of lack Brown, senior. and Beverly Bartleson. sophomore. won the spotlight hy losing only one of their dehates. and capturing the second place cup. However. other styles of dehate and speaking also predominated with Highline talent. as LincolnfDouglas. in which Bill Wirig won fourth prize: and extemporaneous. with lack klorgenson placing fourth. A highlight of the CPS, tournament occurred when the war year cups. which had heen unavailahle. were awarded at the evening hanquet. As a result of these awards. prohahly more gold cups than Louis XIV ever hoped to have were placed this year in the prize locker. Later in the season Vxfanda Summers and .lack Nliekelson attended Vxfashington State College as the defending team for the title and placed third. Spokane and Grand Coulee were regions visited hy these contestants as they traveled to the tournament. As the yearhook went to press. eight dehaters attended the University of Vxfashington speech festival where they participated in extemporancous speaking. oral reading. and prohlemfsolving dehatc.

Wielding the statf baton was Alden Clark, a fourfyear staff veteran, in the position of editor, assisted by jean Craig, second in command. Mrs. Birdie Davis, adviser, again gave generously of her time and together these three spent uncounted hours planning, assembling, and revising, Senior editors, Gloria Patterson, ,lean Mitchell, and Gerald Poesnecker, arranged the senior writefups, a job requiring time and great finesse. Keeping the budget balanced, and ever alert and aggressive, the business managers, Carl Blatz and Marilou Gilmore, began the season by operating the food concession on Memorizil Field, which brought live hundred dollars into the treasury, requiring the strength and stamina of all the staif. The distinction of being the first to undertake this project was offset by the difhcult problems which arose in trying to serve hot food to thousands of people on the grand opening night. To produce a distinctive style and interesting makcfup, art editor Irene Lingwood designed and created constantly to get just the right effect. Here Mr. Donald Simpson, art adviser, added his counsel and assistance. Bringing life to the annual were those kings of the shutterbugs, photographers Chuck Little, Jim Lagoe, and Norman Tucker. A sudden clickfa quick flash, and one more picture was added to the files. Clicking keys and flying fingers mark the typists' position, ably filled by Ruth Gwen, Gertrude Ravnaa, and Merald LeMoine, while proofreaders Janice Hunt and Margaret Wood nobly struggled with the vagaries of the comma. ln addition to these, class editors, sports writers, organization and activity editors all contributed their share toward the completed book. .

Margaret Perko, business manager IT'5 THIRTV F03 TOIIIGHT N ADDITION to the usual rush of newspaper work, this year's aspiring journalists faced a number of publishing difhculties. Unable to renew their contract with last year's printer, they worked with two publishers during the course of the year. However, after having solved their publishing hardships, the journalism class produced an improved High Lines. Following a new schedule, the editors were changed at each semester. First page was edited the Hrst semester by the cofeditors, Allene Maloney and jerry Engebo. High Lights with jerry and Early Views with A.M. were the interchanging columns relished by the subscribers to the High Lines. Carol Youngs took care of a feature page of laughter and editorials. Football, basketball, baseball, and track were all written by Dave Adams, sports editor. Dave's Deliriumsm contained the latest ideas and views concerning sports. junior high news and fourth page copy was edited by Gertrude Ravnaa. Margaret Perko and Donna jenkins wielded the money as business and advertising managers, respectively. New ideas for the paper were often obtained from glancing in other school papers. These interfschool communications were headed by Charmalee Prentice, circulation manager. According to the new system, a new staff took over the MI-Iigh Lines the second semester. Gertrude Ravnaa and jerry Engebo acted as cofeditors, Norma Keeler edited feature copy, Jack Mickelson and Dave Adams handled sports, Charmalee Prentice and Dick Wiggins worked on fourth page. Ads were solicited by john Rayback and Robert McClellan, while Joan 'Westfun managed exchanges. The editors endeavored to feature the news of the campus and the various departf ments of the school. Another objective was to profit by the criticism made by Quill and Scroll, thus improving the standing of the High Lines among other high school papers of the nation. Q 11 'U f mu. Stzmdingf R.

Climaxing the skilled and patient direction of Miss Dorothy Shipley, and the trials and tribulations of many rehearsals, was a production long to be remembered as one of the most successful ever presented in the local auditorium. Heading an exceptionally fine cast were Nancy Miles as Judy Graves, Jeannine Clement as her mother, and john Mickelson and Carl Blatz as her father. TRllI'l5FORIl'lllTIOII PLEIISE REASBPAINT and powder, wigs and mustaches--these were the tools of the Makefup Club, sharpened by long periods of study, research, and practice. The club had weekly meetings during which members used each other or themselves for makefup practices, or devoted their time to the study of various types and methods of disguise. Much toil and labor was required for their two main annual eventsfthe all' school play and the Senior Variety Hour, however, their efforts were richly rewarded with the success of these and other productions. A minor reward for a job well done was the theater party enjoyed by the group in the late spring. Club membership was limited to a number under twenty, preference being given to juniors and seniors. Experienced supervisor was Miss Claudia Nichols, with Don Wirtz as president. FO0TLIGHT IIRTISTS IIT lUORH CAN YOU imagine a school play without any scenery, stage props, or lights, or a variety hour without colored spotlights? Without those factors a production would be lifeless, but the Highlinites need not fear lack of appeal in their stage productions, for the stage crew, under Manager Joe Carpenter and Adviser Mr. Donald Simpson, eapably handled the background attractiveness. Many times working on into the night, the three departmentsmclectrieian, curtain, and construction-inevitably produced lavish displays for style reviews, plays, and variety assemblies. The crew sought no recreation, they sought only perfection for Highline's shows. Perhaps their most commendable works were done for the Burien P.T.A., Senior Variety Hour, junior Miss, and the style show for the Burien Prefschool P.T.A. Each program was highlighted by color, skilled craftsmanship and unique settings. .el Seated: Miss Nichols, advis- er: Parr, Scott, Douglass, Barthel Standing: Wright, Fussell, Wirtz.

LTHOUGH anxiously awaiting the completion of the new music building, the everfexpanding music department overcame their many rehearsing difficulties and plunged forward into a most active year. Heading the senior high music department were Mr. Harry Lemon, vocal division, and Mr. Howard Jakey, instrumental music. Not only did Mr. Lemon, who is in his nineteenth year of teaching at Highline, direct the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, and the A Cap' pella Choir, which also studied music appreciation, but he supervised many small groups, such as the girls' nonette, the boys' quartet, and a string trio in his spare time. Also, he could often be seen driving a school bus filled with choir members to the places of their personal appearances. The instrumental department, under the direction of Mr. Alakey, consisted of both senior and junior bands and orchestras, and a beginf ners' orchestra. Mr. Jakey, now in his seventh year as a music instrucf tor in this district, also gave private lessons and supervised several small ensembles. Two other members of the instrumental music faculty were Mr. William Wright and Mr. Harry Nelson. Mr. Wright, who plays clarinet in the Seattle Symphony, had many workfouts with the woodf wind sections. He also was the director of two grade school orchestras. Mr. Nelson did most of his work with the grade school music depart' ments. Directing the junior high boys' chorus, mixed chorus, and High' linettes was Mr. Edward Kinney, who was in his second year as a member of the Highline faculty. He also taught the eighth grade music classes. All of the directors have extended a great deal of effort, time, plan' ning, and rehearsing for the four main music concerts and three music meets of the year. Mr. Lemon EQ EE 59 lvlr.

THEV IIIIIRCII T0 IIIUSIC RINGING summer vacation to a close, the senior band met on the evening preceding the first day of school to practice for their first concert of the year, the opening assembly. Thus began another successful year. Each football game found the band, attired in their uniforms, playing the familiar school songs and displaying their marching ability. The Hrst game of the season brought about the oilicial opening of Memorial Field with the band adding a militaristic touch to the scene. The holidays brought busy days to this group-in November, the Armistice Day Assembly, Decem' ber, the Christmas Assembly, and the brass ensemble at the Easter sunrise service. March found contestants competing in the music meet at Everett, along with members of surrounding schools. Entering in the junior division were: Roger Reed, trombone, receiving a rating of superior, Brent Thomas, trumpet, excellent, and Louanne Martin, flute, good. Entering in the senior division were: Jim Lingwood, drum, receiving superior, Fay Wales, saxophone, excellent, and Geoge Lewan, oboe, excellent. Roger Reed, jim Lingwood, Joy jakey, and Fay Vxkiles also were eligible to enter the regional meet at Ellensburg. The highlight of the year was the concert, Music Varieties. on March 14. Them Basses March , Introduction to Act IH of Lohengrin , Carnival of Venice, with jerry Woodmzin, trumpet soloist, Egmont Overture , 'lKnightsbridge March, from London Suite , American Rhapsody , Scenes from the Sierras , Prairie jump , Under the Double Eagle March , a novelty piece, The Whistler and His Dog , and The Noisy Three, consisting of jim Lingwood, Bill Case, and john Lefller, constif tuted the variety enjoyed by all attending. On April 19, the band competed in the annual band contest held at Renton, being classed as a Class A band. Also on their activity program were the Spring Concert, featuring Pavanne, Emperor Waltz, and 'LTintagel, and the annual music festival. Oilicers were: Mr. Howard Jakey, director, jim Tooley, president, Bill Heglund, vicefpresident, Vernice Anderson, secretary, Bill Van Gasken and Audrey Erickson, librarians, and joy Marie Jakey and Jean Hafenstein, uniform custodians. And so ended an educational and enjoyable year for the band of 1946f47, which provided the faculty and student body of Highline with many entertaining hours. Row 4, top: Adams, Brown.

CDIICERT ITIHSTERS AVING achieved the hcst halance a Highline orchestra has had in years. this organization. under Mr. Howard Jakey's direction, had an exceptionally active and successful schedule. The first major activity undertaken hy the senior orchestra was the presentation of an annual Christmas concert for the community. Although it was still early in the year the orchestra performed some of the most difficult work which a high school musical organization is ahle to present. included in the program was the first movement of Mozart's G Minor Symphony, which is recognized as one of the hardest scores for high school levels. Highline's senior orchestra strings were well represented hy their hest solo and ensemhle talent at the 'Western Wishiiigtcin Music Meet held at Everett. Duwania Stehler, Paul Lewan, and Muriel Weher presented solos while three string groups- the string trio, starring Margaret Perko, Dawn Bliss, and Zona Davering the string quartet, with Art Holcomh. Margaret Perko, Duwania Stehler, and Dawn Bliss, and the string quintet, which was made up of Bill Peters, Jacquelin Wickstrcini, Joy Jakey. and Lydia Steblervrepresented Highline in the small ensemhle division. Several of the senior orchestra students participated in the festival orchestra. a group selected from the orchestras of Western Wsishingtfqn high schools. Representatives were Margaret Perko, Elaine Rottrup. Bill Peters. Paul Lewan. Duwania Stehler. Bernice Bulen, Muriel Weher, ,lack Brown. Dave Adams. Dawn Bliss, and Art Holcomh. all of whom contrihuted greatly to the success of thc festival orchestra's evening performance. Earlier in the year the senior orchestra showed its fine ahility hy heing granted the unique distinction of participating in a joint concert with the Unversity of Washington Symphony Orchestra. The musical organizations combined to play two full orchestra numhers. Les Preludesn and Stradella Overture. and a string arrangement of Valse hy Tschiakowsky. Climaxing the year, several of Highline's hest players were chosen for an orchestra made up of students from the entire Northwest which performed for the Northwest Music Educators' Conference in Seattle during the third week in March. Representing this school were Bernice Bulen. Margaret Perko. Dawn Bliss. Paul Lewan. George Lewan, Duwania Stehler, and Elaine Rottrup. Row 2 froej: W Monteal, Holliday, Holcomb, Staudt, D. Williams.

Short on tenors but long on enthusiasm, they were always ready to perform when called upon. This group, directed so capably by Mr. Lemon, appeared in the Armistice Day Assembly and the Christmas Program, in which they gave a thrilling rendition of the Ode to America, and in a combined appearance with the Ellensburg Choir. Entering the Westcrii Vxfashington Music Contest, these klunior Caruso's came away with a Superior, proving that the hours of practice during second period were not in vain. The prospect for next year is bright with the bass and baritone section remaining strong. The loss of Art Holcomb next year will hurt the tenors, but Mr. Kinney's boys will undoubtedly come along to augment them. One of Highline's oldest and finest traditions, the everfpopular Girls' Glee Club, consisted this year of over forty girls who faithfully met second period every Monday, Vxfednesday, and Friday to rehearse and practice under the watchful eye and sensitive hand of Mr. Harry Lemon, music director and adviser. This group of talented girls, smartly garbed in the traditional white, lifted their voices at such programs as the Armistice Day Assembly and the evening Christmas concert. Later in the year, such events as the Alanuary Music Festival with the University of Vxfashington orchestra, and one Girls' Club meeting gave haven to their talents. At the latter event they sang their contest numbers, 'LTo Spring and Fairy Pipers. ln january, attired in formals of pastel hues, the girls gave one of their most successful performances for the Highline P.T.A.

IIIIISIC FROITI THEIR SOULS HIS year two of the leading music organizations, the A Cappella Choir and the Girls' Nonette, made record performances. With Mr. Harry Lemon as director, these groups are rapidly hecorning well known throughout the city. as well as in the Highline district. The inspiring voices of the choir were heard at such assemhlies as Thanksgiving, Armistice Day, and Christmas. and at the Easter Sunrise Service held on lvlemorial Field, in addition to their two performances at the Mzirine View Hospital. They gave superlative performances at hoth the New Vxfashington Hotel, as guests of the Breakfast Cluh, and at the Olympic Hotel, as singing guinea pigs for the Northwest lvlusicians Convention. Outstanding numhers of this year were: How Lovely are Thy Dwellings with Grace Dolgner as soloist, Po' Little Jesusfi Jacque Wickstrcmm, soloist. The Creation, and a different arrangement of Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho, Keeping up the pace of previous years is the Cirls' Nonette. These nine girls have also had a husy year working towards perfection and building a line reputation. Because of illness the group was unahle to sing at the Music Meet this year. These lovely voices were heard hy Highline P.T.A., the Mzirine Hospital, Kiwanis, and various local garden and social cluhs. Favorites from their repertoire are Trees and At Twilight. ff , I if Rim- I frovji Staudt, Brunstetter, Robert Milne, Ronald Milne. Lemmel, Spotforth, Green, E.

In March, part of this organization traveled to Everett High School for the Westerri Vxfashington Music Festival. Representing the Glee Cluh were Catherine Griiiith. soloist, and the eighth and ninth grade Highlinettes. Cn April 26, the entire group went to Kent High School to compete in the King County Chorus Festival. Besides these activities, the club sponsored two very successful dances during the year, namely, a Christmas dance and a Valentine dance. They were also a featured attraction at many junior high assemhlies. On the evening of December 21, the ninth grade Girls' Cluh put on an attractive Christmas program. Lillian Nlanzo, talented contralto, was elected president of the group. Deffries, Goddard, Ballard, Hammons, Shreeve, Gilmore, Bess, Van Devere, E.

The junior high Boys' Glee Cluh, although later in starting, also had a successful year on the whole. Because of their late start, they did not attend the Everett Music Meet, as did the girls, hut plan to go next year. One of their main contrihutions, however, was the presentation of a short operetta, Wzilk the Plank, which they per' formed for hoth the junior and senior high. Sponsoring many dances also kept the hoys husy. Acting as president for the first semester was Earl Welch, and for the second semester, Ray Parr. Another enterprising junior high group was the Eighth Grade Girls' Glee Cluh, who proved to he most capahle and a credit to its class. w 3' 1 Row 4 fTOPD: Hackman, Perry.

Golf and tennis, with comparatively small turnfouts, ranked as minor sports. Future plans, including a putting green near Memorial Field and the completion of a new set of courts directly east of the present set, will undouhtf edly inspire student participation and interest.

In this unofficial opening nightcap, which was, incif dentally, the first game to he played on the homeffield at night, the Pirate squad skillfully overcame the Panthers with a resulting count of 18 to O.

The Pirate squad lost Don Cramer and Bernard Grow to thc Marines, leaving Earl Wog in top position and Gene Stegiry and Don Bonner in competition for second place. The team, which had great difhculty in finding league opponents, will be given letters similar to those in tennis and baseball when a fuller league schedule is completed. Regardless of there not being a full schedule for the golfers, they played more the past year than in any previous one. As the yearbook goes to press, the Pirate duifers have not lost a tourney.

With the first days of sunshine prospective team members turned out to limber up for the coming matches and in early April elimination bouts were held to choose Highlinc's 1947 tennis squad. Coach Laird named the following as team memf bers: Betty Morgan, girls' singles, Beverly Waterbury and Marjorie Wylls, girls' doublesg Gordon Whitcomb, boys' singles, Wally Cooper and Dick Wiggins, boys' doublesg and Thyra Lou Kent and Don Olson, mixed doubles. These racqueteers showed great promises for a championship team and at press time they had been victorious in the three matches played. Eight contests wre schdulcd with Clover Park, Lake Washington, Sumner, Enumclaw, Foster. and Fifefthe latter two, practice matches.

PREP HUOPSTEHS . . . ED BY Don Olson, Bob Stone, Don Bonner, Ken Teller, Dick Holler, and Earl Wog, the Pirate hoop squad completed a successful '47 season under Bill Trowf bridge, in his second year as Coach at Highline. The crew had one letterman at the beginning of the season, Don Brownell. The linefup consisted of Ken Teller at center, the only senior on the squad, Don Olson as guard, Don Bonner at forward, Bob Stone at forward, and Earl Wog and Dick Holler exchanging in the other guard position. The Pirates again had honor bestowed upon them as Don Olson was third highest point holder in the Puget Sound League with 110 points. He, with Bob Stone, was picked for allfeonferenee. The conference season opened with a highly colorful jamborce where Highline drew the Puyallup Vikings, who were last year's champs. Highline defeated them by the score of 8 to 9, after Olson sank two points and Bonner 3. Playing the Vikings on their home floor, the Pirates beat them by the score of 43 to 35. The Highline attack was led by Don Olson. who gathered the amazing total of 20 points. The Pirates travelled to Enumclaw next, where the crew was beaten, 31 to 46. Prom turmoil to efficiency was the next game played in the Highline gym against Sum' ner, Highline winning 26 to 25, the most thrilling game of the year. Highline continued its winning streak by defeating the Buckley lvlountaineers 49 to 36. Olson was again highfpoint man with '20 points. Back on the home floor, the Pirates lost a heartfbreaker 46 to 47. Alourneying to Kent, the Pirates gave the Vandals a rousing defeat with a final score of 35 to 26. Predictions were upset when Highlinc tossed over the leaguefleading Auburn Troians with a score of 44 to 32. The team then travelled to the stamping ground of the Renton lndians where they were beaten, 33 to 26. The boys played a hard game but did not have the necessary strength to upset the league champions. Action shot in Renton gym Angove, Armstrong, Arnold, Bonner, Holler f-THE FIRST TEN.

In the first meet at Renton, the Buccaneers were downed 741f2 to 3815, being no match for the starfstudded Renton aggregation. In their second meet with the powerful Clover Park Wzirricnrs on the Memorial Field, the Highlinites came much closer with a score of 64 to 49.

Cory Wztrd, Norman Benjamin and Blaine Gibbs, in addition to Bill, completed the list of returning lettermen. Norm did an excellent job as catcher, with Blaine pitching balls right where he wanted them.

Poor offense but highly successful defensive play was the rule in most of the Babes' games. Bill Loken, Highline center, was high point man in most of the encounters. With Loken, Angove, Duncan, Stielo, and Goranson as the starting linefup in a majority of the games, the Babes edged out a win of 18 to 15 over Lake Washington and the count of 24 to 11 stopped the Kent five cold. The Babes then traveled to Auburn where they triumphed 20 to 18, only to be upset by Renton in the following week 21 to 20. The Kent Vandals, who lost 18 to 17, were next on the junior high list. Auburn popped up again only to be clipped 32 to 20 by the highfscoring Babes. The second meeting wiht Renton proved more successful than the first, the Highline team winning 19 to 14. With this fine record the Highline squad gave rooters many long' remembered thrills. JlII'lIOR HIGH FO0TBIILL FINISHING the year just two points below the Northern Division championship, the Pirate Babes, defending champions of the league, ended a season that junior high fans will never forget. As the Puget Sound League was divided into two divisions, the Babes played only four league games and one practice game with Puyallup, losing the latter. After the loss of the game by two points to Lake Washington, 18 to 20, the Babes went on to win all of the remaining games. Bill Loken, the only returning letterman, was the outstanding player, carrying the ball most of the time for the Babes.
