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.

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.
