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.

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.
