ince The beginning of Time The world has builT and rebuilT, only To find iTself losT in The devasTaTion of war. Each generafion succeeding The con- fTicT has vowed ThaT iT would see The surcease of carnage and Tyranny, buT each has failed To aTTain iTs goal, because iT could noT see The power generated by a free people working TogeTher for a peaceful world. WiTh our Theme, Together We Build for Tomorrow, we have Tried To show how a spiriTual force may grow wiThin our hearTs comparable To The beauTy of The maTerial edifice designed To care for our physical needs. OuTside our school windows we see a massive sTrucTure expanding day by day as if is made ready To meeT The needs of our over-crowded class- rooms. WiThin our classes we musT have a corresponding growTh along The lines of arT, speech, music, and The sciences. Even our exTra-curricular acTiviTies need a new concepT. The compleTion of The new gymnasium and Highline's Memorial Field has opened The way for a more wholesome recreafional life for boTh pupils and The communify. BUT growTh musT noT sTop wiTh our classrooms and our oufside acTivi- Ties. WiThin our hearTs we need To planT anew The seeds of undersfanding and sympaThy so ThaT These ideals may noT die in an inToleranT world. We need To dedicaTe ourselves wiTh all our poTenTialiTies To The furThering of This year's PiraTes' Log Theme: TogeTher We Build for Tomorrow. DEPARTMENTS REPRESENTED: ArT, speech, music, e Ce guage arts, sporis, social studies.

Baker, superintendent of schools.-SCHOOL BOARD uiding, administering, giving their utmost to Highline and her student body, the board of directors has figured immeasurably in our program of building for tomorrow. Their extensive construction plans have made it possible for Highline to have a group of ultra-modern music rooms, a new junior high wing, and one of the finest gymnasiums in the Puget Sound League. The members of the board along with Mr. L. D. Baker, superintendent of schools, and Mr. Lyle Daverin, business manager for the district, have given a total of more than eighty years of service to the Highline schools. They have not only provided educational opportunities for high school pupils comparable to those offered in the city systems, but have also directed the growth and development of the district grade schools, includ- ing the beautiful new building at Hazel Valley. Their next proiect is the completion of a junior high school building at First Avenue South and One-hundred-twenty-sixth Street that will care for twelve hundred pupils. They have been indefatigable workers in Building for Tomorrow. Because of this indispensable service to the school and the com- munity, we of the staff of '48 dedicate our Pirates' Log to Mr. L. D. Baker, Mr. Lyle Daverin, Mr. Donald Pollock, Dr. Victor Thompson, Mr. William Furman, Mr. J. S. Paulson, and to the memory of Mr. J. J. Scott, who served twenty-seven years on the local school board.
