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

WE are faced with the preeminent fact that if civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationship-the ability of peoples of all kinds to live and work together in the some world, at Peace. 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.
