MAN'S KI GDOM LIGHTLY altering the purpose behind the organization, the Boys' Club of 194748, supervised by a new and energetic adviser, Mr. Larry Lemmel, has left its mark on the student body of Highline. The purpose of the club was changed from that of only an entertainment and social club, to more of a service groupg one that will work for the good of the student bodyg one that will help with school difficulties and problems and not be solely for the good of the boys. School spirit and pride in the school were given a boost when the Boys' Club sponsored several assemblies dealing with many of the problems and sorefspots around the school and campus. These assemblies were discussion programs and were open to comments and advice from the floor. The effects of these meetings were seen in the change of attitudes that resulted. Another assembly conducted by the club was the Hobby Assembly. Any boy who had an unusual or interesting hobby was asked to discuss it at this meeting. There was a wide variety of topics. Beekeeping, photography, chess, and weightflifting were just a few. One of the important events on the calendar was Career Day, which was sponsored jointly by the Girls' and Boys' Clubs. Many employees of various organizations were contacted and asked to speak to the seniors. All types of employments were represented, ranging from the army to nursing and drama. There were three sessions, each lasting fortyfive minutes. The talks proved helpful to many, and because of their success, Career Day will become an annual affair. The elected ollicers of the Boys' Club were: Blaine Gibbs, president, Bob Armstrong, vieefpresidentg Don Olson, secretary, and Don Bonner, treasurer. The representatives were Earl Wig, skipper of the Knights of the Cutlass, Gary Gunder, senior representa' tive, Don Bright and Ralph Naff, who represented the juniors and sophomores respectively,

Nellie Brown, Kathryn Remiclc, Phyllis Walswcirth, Carmen GallianofOFFICE DIRECTORS. Bac Row: Runnels, Hansen, Hegre, Stebler, Stewart, Keeler, Nelson, Engebo, Singer. Front Row: Thompson Denison Brady, Russell, Y. Anderson, I. Anderson, McDonald, -laber, E. HansengOFFlCE FCRCE. GFFICE FORCE TCUTfHEARTED is the word to describe the efficient office force of this year. The front office, like the rest of the school, was overfcrowded, but under the management of Mrs. Brown, office duties came off like clock work. Mrs. Nellie Brown, liesides managing the office, kept the attendance records of the senior high and held a close check on all the people who were truant. The voice that said Highline High School was that of Miss Kathryn Remick. She kept permanf cnt records and transcripts in perfect order. She was also Mr. Jensen's secretary, doing his typing and taking his dictation. Miss Phyllis Wiilswrirth had the job of bookkeeper, and indeed it was a job to keep all of the various student body accounts in order. She was also locker custodian. A fourth member was added to the oflice staff this year. She was Mrs. Carmen Galliano, who helped Mr. Rude keep his records and ofhcc running smoothly. ln March her place was filled by Edris Hansen. All the girls worked together in answering myriads of questions, taking care of lost and found and many other duties. Each period two girls helped in the office. They ran errands, collected attendance slips, posted attendance, sorted mail, Hled and waited on the people who appeared at the counter with various questions. Their courteous attention to details was an asset to the office. Thyra Lou Kent, in her capacity as student body manager, was in charge of tickets and contracts. This job she handled in a capable manner. Mr. Rude's junior high office was temporarily moved in with Mr. Johnson because of the construction work. But even under this handicap the junior high office was run with neatness and dispatch. There were two girls in there every period, and their duties were very much the same as the senior high office. 4,,,.f.-dl'
