THE PIRATES' L D A q tttt t ttttt ttt I at xg ENT ASSOCIATION Seattle, Washington 1948-1949 VOI. 22 FOREWORD One hundred years ago a mighty stream of pioneers rolled their wag- ons westward to build the cities and found the traditions of our land. Staunch, determined men and women symbolized this overland trek. These frontiersmen held little thought of building a new empire or establishing themselves in history. They longed for simpler, more down-to-earth things- new homes, land for more abundant crops, escape from the convention- alities of the East. Few in this great migration searched for gold alone. Today, a century after the Forty- Niners, whom we hold symbolic of these pioneers, poured into the West, we find the few remaining geographi- cal frontiers so remote that in the need to fulfill an inherited spirit of pioneering we must turn to forces iust as far-reaching, but of a less material nature. We dare not lose faith in man's ability to improve himself. We still seek a world embracing the broth- erhood of truth. And so we bring forth that vanishing spirit of 1849, garb it in the cloth of the twentieth century, and its vision beckons clear. Forty- Niners! To westward once again!

K 4' ' X y I l l l x0 WOXNBR l l On the wall of Room 249 there hangs a picture. lt portrays an ancient mathema- tician bent over his work table where he has scribed the circles and tangents of a new geometric theorem. From his basic calculations he dreams of the engineering marvels that line our modern skyline. In Earl Trowbridge, also of Room 249, we find the reflection of that early man of vision. Mr. Trowbridge has had his hand in forming the basic qualities and characteristics of the youth who will build tomorrow's horizons. Head senior class adviser for six of his twelve years on the Highline faculty, Mr. Trowbridge has piloted more than one thousand students through their last year of high school. His knowledge of algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, J calculus and navigation has reached half again that number. But more important T to many have been the understanding way, the quiet sincerity, the gentlemanly sense of humor, and the far-sighted guidance of this man who has shown himself , to be not only a capable instructor but also a loyal friend and counselor. So to the y head adviser of the class of '49-to a true Forty-Niner-we respectfully dedicate this 1949 Pirates' Log. -NINERS THE FORTY-NINERS THE FORTY-NlNERSl ,J A, x girly?

Johnson's seemingly boundless reserve of energy and en- thusiasm are a source of never-ending wonder to the students of Highline. This man can be found in the midst of any student activity, trying his best to increase student co-operation and school spirit. Since Mr. Johnson has been serving as principal, Highline has put aside the nomenclature of the Little Red School on the Hilltop. Today it ranks among the largest and finest of the rural schools of Washington. The crackerbox has grown into a gym- nasium that is the pride of all, the new music rooms have fulfilled the dreams of the instructors, and the Puget Sound Junior High will soon relieve the congestion found in the halls. In all of these changes Mr. Johnson has played a vital role. As we watch the winds sweep out over the red-roofed grandstand of Memo- rial Field, we recall the indefatigable spirit of determination that drives a man who epitomizes the most ambi- tious of the Forty-Niners. l LEONARD F. JOHNSON, principal As the school year of 'I949 came to a close, Highline students bade farewell to both of their vice-principals. For twelve years Mr. Jensen's friendly smile and quiet voice have been familiar to every senior high student. His active leadership in both local and state recreational programs merits his new duties as Highline District Recreational Director. During his eighteen years at Highline, Mr. Rude has been everything from pen- manship teacher to iunior high vice-principal, the position he is now relinquishing for a new office in the Puget Sound Junior High School. His unusual ability to know personally and remember nearly every one of the Pirate Babes and his omni- present sense of humor are two of his many qualities that will be remembered. lt is fitting that this year's annual should commemorate the spectacular beginning of the most fruitful migration in the history of our country. The story of the Forty- Niners is more thrilling than any fiction. The story of the western empire that has been built around the adventurous trail breakers forms one of the most important chapters in our nation's development. The adventures in the mining camps of California were merely the beginnings of the greater adventure that led to the successors of Forty-Niners to break trails throughout the entire Pacific region and to back-track into the virgin opportunities of the Rocky Mountain states. It has been a century of progress. We have developed our material resources and have contributed our share to the improvement of power equipment, land, water and air transportation, atomic research, and all other lines of endeavor to improve our health, comfort and economic condition. We have also initiated new policies that have been nationally adopted in the political and social fields. The close of the century marks an appropriate time for taking stock of our changed conditions. Have we sufficiently developed the heritage left to us by the Forty-Niners? ls our progress top-heavy on the secular side? Has our moral and spiritual life kept pace with our intellectual and material advancement? Do ideals play any maior part in our daily endeavors? With our sturdy individualism appar- ently giving way to a more highly socialized way of life, are we thereby endan- gering our birthright of freedom? In a word, are we passing on to posterity a type of heritage as well-rounded as the heritage we received from the sturdy pioneers who began their westward trek following the lure of gold, but who remained to organize the entire West into states, and who gave ideals and character to the civilization they established here? --A Message from Leonard F. Johnson, Principal CARL JENSEN, vice-principal HAROLD RUDE, vice-principal The summer winds sing on the prairies Of the men in the primitive years Who chased a wild phantom to westward And clung to our fleeting frontiers, The bleak winter winds chant their sagas- Strong, restless, and bold pioneers. They compassed the breadth of our prairies, Unmindful of frost or of gale, The tortuous maze of our mountains Ascended in search of their grail. But their long long trek is now over, They have reached the end of the trail. Seduced by the lure of their findings, We have entered the vistas they spanned, And the men who risked all for the title Have left us possessed of the land. Our science has rendered it fruitful By magic of brain and of hand. We have littered their trails with our cities, We have ribbed their mountains with steel, Effaced with our homes their rude camp-sites, Their graves our rich plantings conceal. We have followed their trek with our air-lines, Their phantoms are visions come real. We stand in the morn of an era, Before us is set a new goal, To make the land better for living, Man's dealing with man to control. They conquered the wide open spaces We ride the vast range of the soul. The winds chant low on the high-road Or moan to the unmarked bier, As the twilight creeps over the prairie With the hilltops shining clear- A dirge for the stalwart Crocketts be 3 vii 1' Msawat X 54.

TRAIL MARKERS FOR FORTY- NINERS ADMINISTERING the largest rural school district in the state and planning for future growth are the tasks of the five-member Highline School Board. The fruits of their work are being enioyed by Highline students and the community with the completion of one of the most modern, best-equipped gymnasiums in the state. The music department is this year housed in its new wing, which features two large ensemble rooms and small, sound-proof practice chambers. The iunior high has been the recipient of a new wing of classrooms, library, and study hall. The men who have planned and made possible this progress are noted for their community leadership. Four of the members are former board presidents, the fifth is now serving as vice- president. Dean of the Highline School Board is Dr. Victor Thompson, who has been an active member for twenty-four years, helping to direct the Highline school system from its infancy to its present outstanding position. Enthusiasm for sports on the part of Mr. William Furman, board member for fourteen years and former president, has had much to do with the Highline district's physical educational progress. Presiding over the present board is Mr. J. S. Paulson, former local newspaper editor and out- standing community leader. Freshman member of the board is Mr. Leigh Freize, vice- president. Mr. Freize and his wife, a Highline graduate, are well known in the Mount View district for their work with the Boy Scouts and P.-T. A. Mr. Donald Pollock, former teacher and sports coach at Kent High School, has served the school board for six years, including one term as president. Superintending the activities of the entire district is the task of Mr. L. D. Baker, formerly Highline High School prin- cipal, who is serving his nineteenth year with the district. Mr. Lyle Daverin, district business manager and secretary of the board, is also a past member of the high school faculty. l 4 JOSEPH BRUNETTE-English MILDRED CLARK-Language Arts BIRDIE DAVIS--English MARY DURNING-English INA FORTIN-Language Arts GRETTA HACKENBURG-Language Arts, Science MAE HUNTER-English AMY JENCKS-English LAURABELLE MINTER-Journalism, English PHYLUS SEYMORE-English DOROTHY SHIPLEY-Drama, Speech, English GERARD BETZ-Spanish BESSIE CARSON-English, Spanish LYDIA PALMER-Latin, French TO DEVELOP usage skills with the written and spoken word, and appreciation and understanding of classic and modern literature has been the aim of Highline's English department. . . . ln the 'Foreign language field not only the vernaculars of France, Spain, and ancient Rome were taught-an introduction to the life, customs, and history of their peoples served to improve the student's understanding of international conditions.

A. chose as its theme for 1948- 1949 this slogan: Our P.-T. A., a Bridge Connecting Home and School. This bridge was made stronger by the election of vice-presidents from each of the eight school districts in the Highline area. These officers cooperated effectively with the other elected officers-Mrs. Charles Mclunkin, president, Mrs. Gilbert Blount, vice-president, Mrs. Janet Ford, secretary, and Mr. William Denman, treas- urer. Under the chairmanship of Stephen Doutrich the P.-T. A. was able to give a large sum of money to the student body and the school band. His committee was ably asisted by Mrs. Ralph Mayer, who managed the food concessions at football games and at the iunior and senior high dances. Programs centering around the four-point program of School Education, Health, World Understanding, and Parent and Family Life Education were arranged by Mr. Humbert Martin. . Guiding the organization through the year 1947-1948 were Mrs. H. A. Perry, president, Mrs. W. A. Wing, vice-president, Mrs. Charles Mclunkin, secretary, and Miss Mildred Olson, treasurer. Olson.

I l ly X :ig PUT DEMOCRACY IN ACTION PROSPECTING for the golden nuggets of school spirit and coopera- tion, the five classes of '49 ioined to form the largest student body of Highline's twenty-five years. Working in coniunction with iunior high government, the senior high board of control, including the elected ofticers, and the representative council composed a closely knit unit of student leaders. Duly elected the foremost leader of Highline's Little Democracy was Bob Haffey, veteran of the iunior high presidency, and a sound representative, by membership, of many Pirate athletic and activity groups. Al Stanley, well-known for his fine musical background, spent the year in the co-pilot's seat as vice-president. First lady of the land was minute-minded Virginia Hansen, who, with Treasurer Mike Colasurdo, kept the Forty-Niners' history and finances on record. Junior Jean Browning, otticiating as business manager, handled 58,200 as 1,640 students bought ASB contracts. To encourage student participation and thought in all-school problems was a primary aim of the board of control and the stu- dent council. Class presidents, leaders of larger organizations, fifth period representatives, and ofticers met with administration mem- bers to report and discuss student body problems. Thus, represented by a smaller group, nineteen hundred Pirates were able to share a valuable experience in democracy.

Miss Mary Durning, a newcomer from Olympia, was the steadying influence from the faculty. The committees were active, completing the work for which they were organized. The Friendship Committee sponsored the Friendship Tea and Dance early in the year. During the holidays, the Social Wel- fare Committee, cooperating with the Boys' Club, conducted a food drive. Penny Pirates' Prattle, the Girls' Club paper, was published by the Publicity and Paper Committee. Topics of general interest to every member were included in each edition. The Standards Committee was busy making the various girls' rooms more attractive and con- venient. The Mother-Daughter Tea Committee estimated that more than three hundred mothers came to the installation ceremony and the afternoon tea. The other committees were Arts, Girls' Room, Lost and Found, and Cafeteria Patrol. A historian and an H.G.A.A. representative were also members of the cabinet. Under the auspices of the Girls' Club the White Clothes' Day Tolo was a huge success. The feature of the evening was, as in other years, the crowning of the king and queen, who were chosen by the student body. Pat Baker and Bob Wolff won the honors. E. LEMMEL viser FOLLOWING the plan set up last year, which was to make the club more of a service organization, the Boys' Club of 1948-49 proved to be of great value to its Alma Mater. Guided by Mr. Larry Lemmel the group undertook many new services and carried on and improved the old ones. The slogan, Another Boys' Club Service, was really func- tioning in forty-nine. One of the most interesting assemblies for '49 featured Hurri- cane Tommy Tucker, Hollywood sound man. A silver offering of more than four hundred dollars was collected at this assembly for the purpose of reimbursing the Medical Fund. Al Morgan, coxwain of the Olympic championship University of Washington crew, headlined another assembly. Morgan gave a talk and showed pictures of his trip to the Olympic Games. Later in the year an assembly was given on spring sports with the purpose of getting more boys out for athletics. Careers' Day held iointly with the Girls' Club, made a special contri- bution to vocational guidance for the upper classmen. The Welfare Committee, also working with Girls' Club, sponsored a Christmas basket drive. A new committee, dealing with publicity, proved its worth by getting Highline favorably advertised in the newspapers. Other important services rendered by Boys' Club were the selling of programs for the home basketball and football games and the managing of rooter buses for the football and basketball games away from home.

' si g l a f f 18 THEY KEPT THE RECORDS SUPERVISING this year's administration of the Highline High School office was Mrs. Nellie Brown. This petite efficiency expert made many a towering six-footer feel humble when he met her accusing eyes across the counter. Aiding Mrs. Brown were Miss Katherine Remick and Miss Phyllis Walsworth. Miss Remick was secretary to Mr. Johnson and Mr. Jensen and was also chief telephone operator. Another one of her duties was that of keeping track of each student's credits. Miss Walsworth had a full-time iob keeping High- line's finances in perfect order. Some of the most frequent requests from students are, Where is Joe Doaks this period? Will you please give me an excuse to class? May I have change for a quarter? Was my pen turned in today? Mrs. Brown, however, being a most extraordinary woman, asks, Where were you sixth period today? The office force, under her guiding hand, knew every angle when it came to handling the excuses and attendance. They also filed early dismissal requests, poor work slips, and all important material in each student's permanent file. A change will be forthcoming in the Junior High Office next year, as Mr. Rude, accompanied by Miss Edris Hansen and the rest of the staff, will be moving to the new Puget Sound Junior High School. The many respon- sibilities assumed by this office will be given over to the senior high school. - LASSES. . . . sensors lunlors .. sophomores iunior high THEY WON THE WEST Q --If Z9 if lb AS THE NEAT rows of seniors filed in and quietly took their places to receive g,,f'7 Eef? ,Z Q ff' their diplomas they knew at last that they had won the West.

Graduation pictures, cards and announce- ments, plans for the prom and Class Day, and the choosing of commence- ment speakers kept the seniors occupied until the fateful night of June 8, when they received their diplomas. Commencement was held in the audi- torium again this year. Many were the laurels conferred upon the class leaders. Scholastic hon- ors went to Basil Anex as valedictorian with his straight A average, His record was nearly equalled by Hedwig Perko and Mary Sue Hallowell, co- salutatorians. For commencement speakers the class had chosen Beverly Bartleson and Basil Anex, the faculty, Bonita Gould and Jack Miller. Following class tradition the seniors choose their own commencement solo- ists. This year the honors went to Alan Stanley and Bonnie Jeremiah. Commencement was not the only never-to-be-forgotten occasion for the Forty-Niners. Class Day, with the traditional moving-up assembly, was held on June 3. The Arbor Day spade, the rhodoclendron, and the gifts were presented to the student associationiat that time, also the results of the class personality poll were revealed, the prophecy was made, and the class gave their last will and testament-all, or almost all, being of sound mind. That night the Junior-Senior Prom was held at the Spanish Castle. Baccalaureate was held the following Sunday afternoon. The Highline music department helped make this an inspirational as well as a beautiful service. So it was that the Forty-Niners of Highline had laid aside their tools and had 'taken with them their nuggets of gold sifted from five years of work. Their 'loyalty to their school, greater understanding, the friendships they had formed, and the many rich and varied experiences were the price- less rewards, the intangibles, sought for so diligently as the old Forty- Niners sought for nuggets in a stream bed. THEY SCALED THE PEAKS WITH A VARIED field of activities chalked up to their credit and studies lagging not too far in the background, the Nifty-Fifties successfully brought to a close the second year of their high school trek. Elected to preside over the iunior class were Bill Rule, president, Harvey Ames, vice- president, Gerry Tallent, secretary, Jean Ross, treasurer, and Mr. Donald Simpson, faculty adviser. These capable officers solved any class difficulties and supervised all assemblies and activities of their group. The highlight of the year was the presentation of the Junior Talent Assembly, during the latter part of April. They chose as their theme, No Business Like Show Business. Gerry Tallent and Audrey Slaybaugh, chairmen of the extrava- ganza, were kept busy by the many participants of the eight scintillating acts. When it came to studies, the iuniors were also enthusiasts, as shown by Georgia Beal, Pat Carter, Carolyn Fender, Juanita Jaber, Donna Ryan, and Gerry Tallent, who made grand honor roll for the first semester. ln the Western Washington Music Meet for vocalists, held at Highline February 26, the iuniors provided many fine contestants with Charles Tucker receiving a superior for his deep bass voice. This year Highline also called upon the student body to compose an Alma Mater song. Diane Williams met the chal- lenge with her fine arrangement, thus bringing added honor to her active class. class. Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, the zany play about two girls on a vacation, claimed many iunior thespians. Audrey Slaybaugh and Bob DeWitt both had leading roles in this drama, which was an all-school production. 1'lLg , W2-'T-r -rcno, C C N! Q' and W eww .PIN 6 l , 1 ..7s-V. K' ,..,- N!

They started off at a fast pace by electing Bob Malone their president, Donna Clark, vice-president, Bee Mugford, secretary, Carolyn Johnson, treasurer, and Howard Wallenberg, sergeant-at-arms. With the help of Mr. Lowell Wiggins, their faculty adviser, the officers were able to guide their class to success through the year '48-'49. These under-classmen followed many trails which led to all phases of high school activities. Athletics, as always, was a well-traveled path. Duane Knighton won a letter in football, while Bob Malone and Howard Wallen- berg received letters for basketball. Baseball, track, swimming, and many minor sports were also musts. On the other side of high school activities there was music, dramatics, Torch, and debate. Peggy Ballard was given the lead of Lady Joanna in the operetta, Joan of the Nancy Lee. Harriet Lord played Madame Elise in the all-school play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. Torch claimed fifteen per cent of the class and four-Harriet Lord, Louanne Martin, Dan Berg, and Jim Friet-appeared on grand honor roll. Other activities rounded out the year. Early in February the fork in the road led to the Lollypop Leap , incidentally this helped to swell the class's exchequer. Then at the debate tournament held at the College of Puget Sound, Jim Friet and Dan Berg were able to enter the semi-finals. Another honor came when Nadine Deffries and Janet Rineh.art were elected song queens. The sophomore talent assembly showed off the best of talent. As this group moved into position of upper-classmen, they looked back on a long and successful trek for their first year in the senior high. 7 QAM .1 0 SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS 0 Back: Mr. Wiggins, adviser, Bob Malone, president, Carolyn Johnson, treasurer, Howard Wal- lenberg, sergeant-at-arms.

THEY STARTED THE LONG TREK THOSE WHO WALKED through the halls of the iunior high might well have marveled at the change in schools, students, and teachers when compared with similar groups of a century ago. Today with advisers Mr. Rude, Miss Seymore, and Miss Olson and student leaders, such as Jack Frederickson, president, Doris Friedman, vice-president, Carol Pugh, Pugh, secretary, Marlene Woltt, treasurer, the Babes displayed an ability to govern themselves scarcely dreamed of in the days of the little red school house. ln scholastic honors the Babes set a hard pace for the senior high to emulate with more than seventy members on Torch. Doris Friedman, Audrey Hill, Carol Albrecht, and Kathleen Gay made Grand Honor Roll. ln ath- letics the results were not so commendable. With a hard schedule and tough competition on the gridiron, the Pirate Babes came out on the short end of the score in many of their games. Losing some heart-breakers on the bas- ketball floor, the iunior high placed fourth in the league. ln track the Babes had developed some excellent runners and at press time showed promise of placing high in the league. The underclassmen displayed their talents in many other events. At the annual Western Washington Music Meet in March the iunior high string quartet was awarded a superior rating. Then at the dances excellent floor shows drew a large crowd of Babes. ln April under the direction of Mr. Kinney, the Junior High Talent Show provided the students with an hour and a half of excellent entertainment. With such a list of accomplishments to spur them on, the Highline Babes looked with enthusiasm to the awaiting years that will tind them in senior high.

Others serving on the cabinet as 1 chairmen of the various committees were Marjorie Nieswender, Standards, Pasty Bach, Mother-Daughter Tea and Arts, Carla Nielson, Friendship, Joann Horn, Service, Audrey Hill, Cafeteria Patrol, Carol Albrecht, Music, Mary Lou Larsen, Publicity, and Arlene Kniffen, Hospitality. Eighth grade representatives were Darlene Green and Shirley Sholoerg. One of the iobs of the cabinet was to choose the Girl of the Month. Girls chosen for the year were Mary Billadeau, Pattie McNamara, Louellen Waters, Joan Burak, Carolyn Stober, Dot Burley, Mary Ellen Conrad, and Gloria Sengstock. CORDUROY GOVERNMENT RULING the Junior High Boys' Club with an iron hand was Pete Knudsen with Jim Albright second in command. During the year the club enioyed many successful ventures, including the organization of a welfare committee with Nick Yatz as chairman. This committee helped many of the less fortunate people in the Highline district. They also gave time and eftort to the Red Cross and in sponsoring a clothing drive. Besides many other successful entertainments the Boys' Club sponsored an assem- bly, at which Captain Draper ofthe Washington State Patrol was the main speaker. The music and vocal groups supplemented the program with a few selections. The '49 Boys' Club was a competent part ofthe Junior High, showing great promise for their future years in Highline. awmes - i .gris- M Qi .4 ,,.,.v ,W ,N ,V ELK ,Q-M , .',, , ni' viixeyfl 2 Egfr its s organizations programs publications music HONOR SOCIETY .WWA . f r' Seniors receive Torch pins from Mr. Johnson.

Before school had been in session two weeks, President Basil Anex called the group together. First on the agenda was the checking of requirements of the prospective members. This task was put into the hands ofthe Scholastic Committee, headed by Rosemary Gibbons and Barbara Bach. After suffering several years' neglect, the outdated claim sheets, which determine a student's eligibility, were modernized. When these new claim sheets were turned over to Adviser Earl Trow- bridge, the resulting membership list included nineteen seniors, thirty-two iuniors, and forty-eight sophomores. Hedy Perko, vice-president of the society, was responsible for a full program of activities. The Torch Assembly, including musical numbers by Torch members and the presentation of pins, was the first of these. The second event followed the bas- ketball game with the Enumclaw Tigers, as victorious and iubilant Pirates pushed their way to the Burien Fieldhouse for the Poop-deck Promenade, under the sponsorship of Highline's intelligentsia. During March the Torch Society sponsored one of the finest assemblies of the year. The speakers were former Torch members, Pat and Jim Huntley, who had recently returned from a bicycle tour of Europe. Colored slides and an interesting lecture took the students on an informative trip through the Old World. On Senior Torch day the Engineering Department's Open House at the University of Washington found these honor members there to absorb some of the knowledge being displayed. This ended a tour which also led them through Arden Dairy, the County Jail, and the KOMO studios. JUNIOR TORCH 0 Row 4 ftopl Mas sick, Rule, DeWitt, Wilson, Jones, Dapas, Andrews, Marlowe.

VIGILANTES IN GOLD FOLLOWING in the steps of the frontier vigilantes, the boys in the purple and gold Cutlass sweaters proved their worth on the campus and in the halls of Highline. The increased enrollment and the added facilities provided many new and varied problems. The challenge was accepted and the organization of boys upheld the traditions of past Cutlass organizations. The Knights of the Cutlass' duties were of a greater variety than ever before. Beginning with Cutlass patrol ofthe Puget Sound Football Jamboree, held in Seattle's Memorial Stadium, the golden-sweatered clan launched itself on a busy year. Memorial Field football games and track meets saw the Cutlass boys on the iob doing the thousand and one tasks accompanying these events. The greater halls of Highline, due to new facilities, were supervised and one-way traffic was enforced. The fine new gymnasium and athletic plant were patrolled at all home basketball games as well as at the play-offs of the West Central District Basketball Tournament. Perhaps one of the largest proiects the boys in gold undertook this year was Campus Day. ln reality Campus Day lasted all year, through the Cutlass drive to make the Student Body campus conscious. Shrubs were trimmed, lawns were mowed, and fiower beds spaded in one of the best Campus Days ever. Success of the year was due to the diligent Cutlass boys who stood patrol and were known for their ability to get the job done. Jerry Nash acted as skipper, Kenny Thompson, first mate, and Bob Wolff, scribe. Mr. Lemmel again capably served as the Cutlass adviser.

Debating this pertinent question, Beverly Bartleson and Jack Miller won first place in the cross-question division of the annual debate tournament at Washing- ton State College. Highline debaters also won honors at other tournaments. At Port Angeles Beverly and Jack, and Ray Parr and Bob DeWitt won second and third places, respectively. At the College of Puget Sound in Tacoma two of the teams made the round of semi-tinals. These were Beverly and Jack, in cross-questions, Jim Friet and Dan Berg, in university style. Mr. Merlin Berto coached the club and accompanied them on their trips. These glib artists were led by Beverly Bartleson, president, Dave Kohr, vice-president, Harriet Lord, secretary, and Patsy Reynolds, treasurer. FLICKER FANS PLEASE LEAVE the seating arrangement alone. Don't sit on the side. How many are there? These were familiar words to the movie-goers of Highline, for the school's Little Theater plays host to many a student during each school term. Mr. Simpson has continued as faculty adviser, a position that he has filled for some twelve years for the motion picture operators. - These operators earned Torch credits by donating their study hall periods to help in this extra-curricular activity. About five hundred showings were made this year, varying from ones on wood-turning to ancient Mayan culture. The movie operators have assisted almost every class in school. The freshman science classes saw more movies this year than any other group, these pictures varied from those on astronomy to the discovery of aluminum, with Alan Ladd.

PEN-HANDLERS TO STUDY the fundamentals of the short story and descriptive poetry was the main theme of Pen Pushers Club this year. Discussions of these topics were lead by the adviser, Mrs. Amy Jencks. Along with these regular weekly meetings, the members found great enioyment in extra activities, such as writing comic verse for Valentine's Day and attending a theater party for the club members. Under the guidance of Carol Nilsen, president, Darlene Remillard, vice-president, and Grace Harris, secretary-treasurer, the club sponsored the annual Christmas Story Contest, which proved to be worth while for all who entered. Mariorie Kemp's story, Greater Love Hath No Man, took top honors and won for her not only a prize, but the thrill of an accomplishment well done. CALLING W7lUX RESISTORS, condensers, crystals, schematics, phones, impedances! To wind or unwind? Nothing but radio running through their minds. No mystery, iust the usual iabberwog going on up in Room 301. The club members, under the advisership of Mr. Anderson, and the leadership of William Wilson, president, Dick Stout, vice- president, and Jack Coyle, secretary-treasurer, have some interesting discussions. The topics range from what's wrong with Junior's radio to the theory of relativity. The object of the club was to build and test various equipment and to acquire a thorough understanding of radio through the medium of actual experience. Highline was fortunate in receiving from the government some excess radio equipment. These parts are being used in apparatus for the radio station they hoped to have in operation by 1950.

These active iunior girls, dedicated to school service, were under the leadership of Mr. Wahle of the faculty. The club's administration was supervised by Barbara Wallace, president, and Connie Abbott, secretary-treasurer, the only seniors in the group. The girls competently handled all the events scheduled for Memorial Field, the gym, and the school auditorium. Taking tickets, giving directions, handling programs, and trying to keep law and order were a full time activity. For those who were willing to work there was always a iob. The ushers were rewarded for their efforts by free admission to the activities, and in the spring, a fun-packed picnic on school time. CURTAIN TIME INCLUDED in the many activities that were undertaken by Drama Shoppe were the all-school play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, theater parties, and assistance in assembly programs. Student participation in these activities was entirely voluntary and was enthusiastic from every standpoint. A great deal of the interest was inspired and maintained by the Drama Shoppe adviser, Miss Dorothy Shipley, who coached the production ofthe all-school play and offered excellent advice to advanced and beginning drama students. Membership in the club was acquired by trying out before a committee composed of students and teachers who iudged the applicants for speech qualities, such as diction, voice quality, and interpretation of the selection, and for dramatic abilities that would give them membership in a drama group such as this. DILETTANTES WHEN YOU heard the familiar There will be an Art Club meeting at 3 35 tonight announced on Monday mornings, it was a sure sign that after school room 253 would be occupied with young art enthusiasts. This was the first art club organized at Highline since the war years. Chief paint slingers were Mr. Simpson adviser, Ruth Seike, president, Elaine Daverin, vice-president, and Joyce Anderson secretary ll'eCSUl'el'. Each member did what interested him most. The work varied from pencil sketches fashion designing, and pastels to water coloring, oil painting, and sculpturmg Occa sionally, when the weather got warmer, trips were taken outside to make outdoor sketches. Twenty members took a trip to the Seattle Art Museum, where the more complicated exhibitions were explained by a guide. QUIET, PLEASE !

THIS YEAR PEP CLUB again maintained its reputation of being one of Highline's leading organizations in school activities. Homecoming, Pep Club's biggest extrava- ganza, welcomed many grads with a day full of activities. On hand to register them were the yell staff and ci committee from the Pep Club. Those who came early were taken on a tour of the new building. After the tour they enioyed a delicious lunch- eon, the work of Miss Hofmann and the cafeteria class. Then came the assembly, featuring the announcement of Marya Drew as Homecoming queen. Entertainers were Ronnie Hutchinson and his band, the quartet, Darlene Remillard, Bruce Duncanson, Clifton Steere and a sextette of teachers that delighted both students and grads. Rick Paschal and Dick Mount shared the spotlight as masters of ceremonies. ln the evening the game with Sumner, followed by the Homecoming Dance at the Spanish Castle, completed the perfect day. At the dance the thrill of a lifetime came for Marya, when she was crowned queen by the honorary captains of the football team. Altogether, Homecoming proved to be one of the outstanding events of the year. ln the Spring the club sponsored Pioneer Day. Jeans, plaid shirts, beards, and cotton frocks were the order of the day. Gloria Wilcox was chairman of the assembly and came through with a fine show. During an intermission Tommy Baby Face Rolph was presented a shaving kit for his work in growing a real old-fashioned beard. That night the Burien Fieldhouse was the scene of the Pioneer Tolo,where honors went to Bev Stubsjoen and Jim Loken in the touch dance. Pep Club's president this year was Joanne Dishnow. She was assisted by Mr. Spencer Swenson, faculty sponsor, Merle Duncan, vice-president, Barbara Greer, secretary, and Jean Harris, treasurer. YELL CLUB!

Highline's yell queen, Mona Rae Matthew, was chosen to lead this group of future cheerleaders. The other officrs were Gerry Tallent, vice-president, Kriss Kodama, secretary, and Phyllis Brown, treasurer. Miss Mildred Gibson was the faculty adviser. The dream of being future yell leaders inspired this group of girls to attend each turnout faithfully. Under the direction of the elected yell staff, Mona Rae Matthew, Kriss Kodama, Karlyne Abele, June McKellar, and Pete Gordon, the girls were taught the fundamentals of becoming successful cheerleaders. Yell Club undertook the responsibility of many activities for financial aid and recreation. Rooter caps were the rage at all football games, rooter pencils, in the classroom. These items were sold to the students by members of this group. The clever skits for pep assemblies sprang from the creative skills of this organization. A new addition to the yell staff was the selection of five song queens. Mona Perry, Beulah Johnson, Mary Jane Hansen, Lonnie Wickstead, Janet Rinehart, and Nadine Deffries were chosen by the board of control from a tryout of members of Yell Club for the purpose of leading the students in school songs. Because of the popularity of this section of the yell staff, the accomplishments of the initial song queens will be continued next year. Yell Club's main obiective through the year was encouraging the support and superior sportsmanship of students at all games. Each member did his part to build a true and loyal school spirit on the campus throughout the year. wards. Kodama, Nord WOMEN ON THE LOOKOUT HEADED by Elizabeth Mc.ludkin, chairman, the girls' cafeteria patrol has done an admirable iob of maintaining order in the lunch room. This year, for the first time, a iunior high branch was organized, with Audrey Hill as chairman. This gave the lunior high girls an opportunity to prepare for future iobs of responsibility in the senior high Girls' Club, as well as achieving more unity and understanding between the two organizations. These girls had no easy iob. Putting up stools which careless students left down and attempting to persuade others not to be careless required a great deal of patience and diplomacy. The Torch credits which these workers received were well LADIES' AID NEITHER rain, nor snow, nor sleet, kept some fifty to a hundred students from making calls to the girls' room everyday to get a band-aid, or to lie down, or maybe iust to chat a while. There was always a girl on duty ready to answer any question for these strollers or to meet the needs of her patients. Another of her varied respon- sibilities was to help students regain lost articles, which could have been a full time iob. Each attendant had completed a course in home nursing. During the second semester a complete face-lifting of the Girls' Club room was effected by the committee. The walls were repainted, new draperies were hung, and bright new slip-covers were put on the furniture. Miss Gandolfo, school nurse, again took the advisership, and Pat Lindenau, the duties of the chairman of the organization. earned.

Under the leadership of Lowell Mason, adviser, and Dave Williams, discussion chairman, no subiect was thought too deep for these searchers after truth. During their weekly noon meetings in room 149, the philosophers weighed and analyzed, between bites, the ideas and ideologies from all periods. Among the specific problems to come to the members' notice were the interpretation of religious documents, the study of man's need for a Supreme Being, the analysis of neurosis, the study of the components of happiness, the discussion of the relation of mind to matter, and the history of philosophy. These searchers agreed that the discovery of truth and the practice of that which is good are the most important obiects of LITERATURE FOR LUNCH WITH LUNCHES in hand, the seventeen members of the Book Club twice a month invaded the tranquil quarters of the senior high library. After appetites had been partially appeased, the program at hand was introduced by Jean Browning and Muriel Weber, president and vice-president, respectively. Book reviews were given and supplemented with discussions of volumes at hand. For Book Week in November members gave a faculty tea and later in the year pre- pared a display for the library. Co-chairmen of the Decoration Committee were Shirley Kaltenbach and Verna Ness. Through these and other activities of the club, each member, including Miss Claudia Nichols, adviser, cultivated a better acquaint- ance with the fascinating books in drab or bright covers hidden away in the recesses of the library. philosophy.

Camera wise students of today, anxious to improve their skills in the art of snap photography, formed the Pirate Camera Club. Eastman and Ansco Com- panies, local firms, and Mr. Warren Herbage, the adviser of the group, supplied lectures on better photos, the use of filters, color shooting, and many other topics concerning modern equipment and its use. To acquaint the shutter-bugs with the processing end of their hobby, a series of after-school classes were held in the spring on developing, printing, and enlarg- ing. Officers were Mary Sue Hallowell, president, Gail Bliss, vice-president, Lester Price, secretary, and Ardiss Rude, treasurer. WHEN WOMEN REIGN ALL HAS BEEN QUlET on the iunior high study hall front, thanks to Mr. Wahle, Mr. Kinney and their little helpers, the roll takers. These girls were selected from senior high study hall because of their efficiency and ability to politely yell, Let's have it quiet, and after being asked about twelve dozen times by one of those persistent students if he might get out just a little earlier today, can calmly answer, No, when the bell rings you may leave, but until it does, SIT DOWN! Taking roll and keeping everything in order were the main duties of the roll takers, who were rewarded with Torch credit and a chance to promote the good- neighbor policy between the iunior high and the senior high. 64 Rick pins a corsoge on Marya, Homecoming Queen.

Seated: Kimble, Gould, Hogan, Slaybaugh, DeWitt PIRATE STAGE GROUPS UNITE TO SAY, THE EVENINGS of December 3 and 4 gave ear to this year's all-school play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, a comedy in three acts by Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kimborough. Audrey Slaybaugh, as Cornelia, and Bonita Gould, as Emily, romped through the hilarious misadventures of the original Cornelia and Emily, whose antics abroad made laughable reading in the book, and whose play version delighted those who came to see the drama. On a vacation to Paris, the girls, feeling very grown up at nineteen and wanting to be free from parental influence, persuaded Mr. and Mrs. Skinner, Alan Stanley and Beverly Bartleson, to take another boat. From then on Cornelia and Emily passed from one dilemma to another. While on the boat the girls met two Harvard medical students, Bob DeWitt and Jerry Kimble, who aided in the plot to smuggle measly Cornelia past the health inspector into France. The boys alternately found themselves either the aids or victims of plots contrived by the girls. After near catastrophes with safety pockets, measles, exploding gas meters, and phony French actors, Emily and Cornelia, with Mr. and Mrs. Skinner sailed for home with memories that were unique if not always pleasant. ln addition to the presentations of December 3 and 4, the play was given for the iunior high in a special assembly which also served as a final dress rehearsal.

OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY seventeen met for practice after school and in the early evening. Each eve- ning the ianitors would look after the leaving play cast members thinking each one must be a chronic feather-brain. Corny and Em as well as more than eight hundred other actors would have seemed quite anemic sans the grease-painting hands of twenty- seven Makeup Club members. Often sacrificing the fun of watching the performance as they transformed their fellow classmen in preparation for the next scene, these under-stage workers chalked up countless hours in mastering the techniques of makeup. Aside from the all-school play, the crew cared for such proiects as the Christmas program, Senior Variety Hour, Joan of the Nancy Lee, Junior Variety Hour, and many community activities. Chief grease monkeys were President Joy Marie Jakey, Vice-presi- dent Norman Boulanger, Secretary-treasurer lrene Albrecht and Adviser Claudia Nichols. Makeup Club was not the only busy group behind the scenes. The stage crew gave nearly one thousand hours of work to the constructions of sets for Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, Joan of the Nancy Lee, and minor assemblies throughout the year. The Pirate craftsmen were introduced to some new skills as they watched and assisted the University players stage The Rivals and Blythe Spirit. Successful accomplishment of the year's duties was traceable to the suggestions of Adviser Donald Simpson, and to the dependability of the stage manager, Dominic Parente.

BY SETTING the time back one century, the senior class took the rest of the student body on a gay whirl as the class of 1949 presented the traditional variety show February 18. Starting point of The Revues of 1849 was in Atlantic City, where Pat Lindenau won a beauty contest over Pat Baker, Avalee Latimer, Mona Perry, and Barbara Greer. Earl Oakes helped Pat celebrate by performing a seashore dance. From here the audience was taken to New York City, where Bruce Christy pre- sented the petite men of Highline modeling the latest fashions. Jerry Nash, Gerry Madland, Bob Haffey, Don Runnels, and Tommy Mayer surprised their classmates by displaying their feminine charms. The next stop on the tour was Philadelphia and the circus. Vivian Moyer and Darlene Remillard, HighIine's vaudeville dancing team, performed a tap dance to the tune of Be a Clown. Next, Highline students were carried away to the Midwest where Jeanine Mor- gan called a square dance, and sent the audience swaying with Pearl Tobel, Jerry Kimble, Sally De Nully, Jim Malone, Charlene Brooke, Harold Morrow, Betty Jean Swanson, and Richard Brown. Following this was a visit to New Orleans, where Neal Davidson showed his Darkie Town Polka Club. All in black face, the members of his club displayed their talents. June McKellar and Don Hogan sang vocals while four senior girls entertained the guests. Art Eckert and his orchestra furnished the musical background. Then the audience was shown behind the scenes of Radio Station B.U.R.P. with Dick Mount introducing his three soap-opera entertainers. Buttons and Bows was the theme for a sparkling dance number with Darlene RemiIlard's chorus-line of five girls.

Joan Cook, Shirleymae Hanson, Lois Shontz, and Betty Davis were the outstanding characters of this farce, while Bonita Gould narrated the story. The climaxing act was in San Francisco, here the Gold Coast Cafe was open for inspection. Frances Calkins surprised the students with her warbling ability, while Helen Heiden and a chorus of eleven girls delighted all present. Then several of the daintier boys, such as Harry lngraham, displayed their hidden talents in the form of a can-can. Numerous curtain acts were presented also. The girls' sextet sang The Stanley Steamer. Karen Sherry sent the audience dreaming by singing l'm in the Mood for Love. The boys' quartet, in a comical way, displayed their talents. A farce, lt's Tragic, was warbled to the tune of lt's Magic. The Goofus Comedy, a clever dance by Helen Downs, LaVelle Dickerson, and Betty Morgan, sent the audience howling, while Art Eckert, Ronald Hutchinson, and Richard Anderson was one of the most applauded acts of the show. Bonnie Jeremiah, Highline's Jane Powell, sang the ever-popular Lavender Blue. Special recognition was received by Mrs. Ben Hanson, Shirleymae Hanson, and Betty Davis for the excellent iob of costuming the show. Joan Cook, Vena Bliss, Patti Stewart, Betty Jean Swanson, Darlene Remillard, Virginia Hansen, Anne Nord, and Pat Lindenau received well-earned thanks for directing their acts of the Variety Hour. Barbara Bach printed the programs with the assistance of Helen Runnels. Orchids were in order for the senior faculty advisers-especially Mrs. Hunter, who worked with Rosemary Gibbons, chairman, Jack Miller, master of ceremonies, and Earl Oakes, senior class president.

We'll have to chop him oFf below the knees to make him fit. No, this isn't the scene of a crime. These were a few of the remarks which drifted from room 242 as this year's annual staff carved out a Pirates' Log which might prove worthy of a Medalist Award. Editor Mary Sue Hallowell worked like a true Forty-Niner. Directing her staff of twenty-five members, planning the dummy, performing all of her other duties and responsibilities consumed innumerable hours. Ray Parr, associate editor, and official errand boy, made himself generally useful while learning the intricacies of editing an annual. Mrs. Davis and Mr. Simpson, faculty advisers, were there to give suggestions when suggestions were needed or to suppress when suppressions were necessary. Dick Mount and Ted McJunkin deserve the credit for the numerous cartoons sprinkled throughout the book. Senior write-ups werela result of the combined efforts of all the seniors on the staff. Write-ups of classes and organizations were amalgamations of writing talent throughout the school. The sports' section, always a heavy assignment, was handled effectively by Don Bright, chief editor. The annual staff admits its sponsorship of The Three Musketeers, a highly cultural movie in twelve parts. However, the padded cover was worth it, wasn't it? Extra tinances were also secured by sale of pictures and, in coniunction with the P.-T. A. concessions booth, sale of popcorn, candy, and hotdogs to hungry Pirate football fans. Charles Johnson and Vena Bliss counted the shekels in the capacity of ioint business managers. BEVERLY BARTLESON editor-in-chief PAGE EDITORS 0 Standing: Earl Oakes, Janet Usher.

Operating from Room 246, where every third period saw a hectic gathering of embryo iournalists and advertising experts, the twenty-two member staff, guided by Miss Laurabelle Minter, gathered news, solicited and collected ads, and per- formed the myriad miscellanies associated with publishing the school's bi-weekly newspaper. Heading the editorial staff was Beverly Bartleson, editor-in-chief, and first page editor. Earl Oakes managed the feature page, Don Bright headed the sports de- partment, and Cliff Schattenkerk edited the junior high page. One of the biggest iobs on a self-supporting paper is handling advertising. The entire staff gathered ads and collected bills, with Bonnie Jeremiah, aided by Marjorie Kemp, coordinating this activity. ln charge of exchanges was Sandra Reuss, who mailed more than sixty papers to other schools, former students, and advertisers. At mid-year the staff underwent its semi-annual change, as assistant editors assumed responsibility. Apprentices included Lael Vert and Janet Usher, first page, Doreen Morey, feature page, and Elaine Daverin, fourth page. ln addition to the time-consuming task of putting out a paper, the iournalism department also undertook two maior activities. The first was the High Lines spon- sored annual Christmas decoration contest. After a week of holiday atmosphere, classroom decorating, and iudging, Mrs. Mildred Clark's eighth graders were acclaimed winners, and were feted by the iournalism class at a party. The second activity was unexpected-the liquidation of a 51,500 deficit resulting from uncol- lected advertisers' bills. With the threat of suspended publication hanging over them, the staff feverishly collected bills and solicited ads to remove the debt. Their work resulted in the uninterrupted completion of the paper's publication schedule.

QUIZ KIDS OF FORTY-NINE SEVENTY-SIX FRESHMEN with above average grades, good citizenship, and extra- curricular activities made up this year's Junior High Torch Society. Requirements for membership are a B average or above, two activity points, and general good citizenship. Among the ways to earn activity points were library work, glee club or participation in sports. Torch included in its membership all of the student-body ofticers, the Girls' Club president and the maiority ofthe Girls' Club cabinet. Officers ofthe society this year were Joan Peltzer, president, Mary Teller, vice-president, Jean Brandt, secretary, and Richard Palander, treasurer. Mr. William H. Denman served as the faculty adviser. A high point in the year was the annual assembly sponsored by the club. Supe- rior Court Judge Lloyd Black, guest speaker, addressed the group on The Torch of Liberty and the Flame of Ambition. Mr. Denman presented a pin and a wallet- size certificate of membership to each Torch member. Junior High Torch is not merely an honorary organization. lt is also a service group. Ninth grade ushers are chosen directly from the group, and eighth grade ushers must be prospective members of the club. At the end ofthe year, ninth grade members check the qualifications of eighth graders to find those eligible for membership.

AT YOUR SERVICE WITH THEIR FAMILIAR This way please, the Junior High Ushers, under the guidance of Miss Seymore, have been of great service in directing the Highline Babes to their seats in the assemblies. This organization consisted of nine freshmen girls headed by Megan Turvey, and seven eighth grade girls headed by Judy Henry. The ninth grade usherettes were chosen from the Torch Society, while the eighth grade usher- ettes consisted of future Torch members. In the fall each usherette received a badge in the iunior high colors of red and white, the finishing touch to the girls' snappy navy and white regulation. With digni- fied efticiency, these girls assisted students in finding seats, taking care of tickets, and putting up stray seats after the performance. Maintaining an orderly conduct in assemblies was another one of their important duties. One hundred years ago, in the early days of the West, the Texas Rangers were famous for keeping law and order. Now, the Knights of Service, second iunior high service organization, have taken over the job ofthe Texas Rangers in the iunior high halls. Headed by Skipper Jim Albright and Adviser Morris Iverson, the Knights ot Service patrolled the halls even as their predecessors did the prairies back in gold rush times. Some of the duties that the boys had were patrolling the halls and stairways, enforcing one-way traffic, and directing new students. They also helped at the iunior high games, assisting the yell staff and lessening the taculty's work. The boys chosen in the eighth grade were trustworthy students who were quite capable of handling situations that arose during the year. JUNIOR HIGH LIBRARY STAFF!

BOOKS FOR THE BABES ONE HUNDRED YEARS have brought a wealth of progress to this country, twenty- five years have made comparable changes at Highline. The new iunior high library exemplifies one of these improvements. The outstanding features are the built-in card files, shelves, and drawers, making the library modernistic and suitable to the students' needs. During its first year, the iunior high library employed a large staff-seventeen the first semester, twenty-one the second. Chosen for their aptitude, experience, and scholastic abilities, these workers were continually striving for the betterment of the library, Arranging displays, shelving books, maintaining order, assisting students, and guarding this treasure chest of material earned Torch credits for those who were not working for their own enioyment. BELTS AND BADGES BEING A JUNIOR DEPUTY of the State Patol brought fun as well as hard work for the bus patrol. To assure safety for all students they kept order on the buses and directed traffic for those who crossed the streets. Since the boys were in close contact with the State Patrol, entertainment was provided for them by these oFFicers, featuring the annual excursion to Playland in May. Under the supervision of Mr. Wagness the boys became really conscious of potential danger points and their silver badge, bearing the insignia of the American Automotive Association, proclaimed that the wearer was an ambassador of safety. These boys performed an invaluable service in parking cars at this year's maior sporting events. ln football season they sacrificed the first quarter of the games while they were guiding more than three thousands cars to their proper places.

OH SUZANNA, Don't You Cry for Me seemed a far-cry form the stirring marches that emanated from the sixty-five piece band that represented Highline on so many occasions during the year. ln the fall the band played at the football games, bringing the crowds spectacular exhibitions between halves, by using lights for the formation of stars, bicycles, and other appro- priate routines. Leading drum maiorettes for these events were .loy Marie Jakey, Norma Ostrum, and Georgia Beal. The twirlers were LaRae Tift, Viv- ian Newberg, Pat Carter, and Ardiss Rude. Many of the band students entered the annual solo and small ensemble contest which was held at Highline this year. Students who received a superior rating were: Joy Marie Jakey, baton twirling, Alan Lomax, cornet: Ed Grier, drum: and Donald Daverin, French horn. Excellent ratings were given to Louanne Martin, flutist, and to Ardiss Rude, baton twirling. In addi- tion to the individual honors won, the band as a whole deserved recognition for superior performance at several school assemblies, including the ones on Armistice Day and Homecoming. The band was rated excellent in the contest at the Jason Lee School in Tacoma in April. Three of the final events at which the band appeared were the Wenatchee Apple Blossom Festival lthey took second place here last yearl, the annual Highline festival, and commencement. Howard Jakey directed the group. HlGHLINE'S LITTLE SYMPHONY THE OLD FIDDLES and banios of one hundred years ago have been supple- mented by a myriad of music makers. Their square dance tempo has slowed to a waltz beat, the folk tunes have been ioined by concert favorites. As a part of this musical development of the West, Pirate musicians have put aside their love of iazz and boogie-woogie to study Bach, Brahms, and Beethoven. Leaders in the sympathy for symphonies movement were Bernice Bulen, president, Richard Linde, vice-president, Denneyce Swenson, secretary, and Mr. Howard Jakey, director. Margie McCain and assistant, Dick McElroy, kept the scores. Orchestra members, in providing orchestration for Joan of the Nancy Lee, gained not only the experience of a musical production, but an appre- ciation of this music, which will remain with them long after the scores them- selves are forgotten. At the Tacoma music contest the group played three numbers-Ba'ch's Bouree, the last movement from The Clock by Haydn, and Melody in F, a selection performed by the string section of the or- chestra. The solo contest, held for the first time at Highline this year, con- ferred a superior rating on Bernice Bulen for her outstanding viola solo. The same rating was given to the iunior quartet composed of Doris Harper, first violin, Sue lshita, second violin, Don Schmitt, viola, and Dan Berg, cello. The senior quartet, with Margie McCain playing first violin, Shirley Kalten- bach, second violin, Bernice Bulen, viola, and Jim Massick, cello, received an excellent rating. Both quartets were active, playing for various teas, ban- quets, and community performances. ll ' -L V. ,E p 3 ' few - 6 1,0 ,.

The A Cappella Choir boasted seventy-eight members, while there were sixty-eight girls in the Girls' Glee Club and sixteen members of the Boys' Glee Club. At the beginning of a busy year the A Cappella Choir was fortunate in being chosen to sing for the Washington Educational Association at the Civic Auditorium. During football season, the Girls' Glee Club sang between halves at several games. The music for both the Armistice Day assembly and the Thanksgiving Day program was presented by the vocal groups. Again, during the Yuletide season, the Glee Clubs and A Cappella Choir presented an unusual and impressive Christmas program. In the center of the stage was a human Christmas tree, with other students representing toys at the foot of the tree. From this setting the group sang Christmas carols and presented portions from Babes in Toyland. In the spring the strains of Oh, Golden Dawn, Ho, for the Sea, and other melodies from the operetta, Joan of the Nancy Lee, floated from the music room. Joan of the Nancy Lee was the first operetta to be given at Highline in eight years. Alan Stanley, as Captain Dick, and Peggy Ballard, as Joan, won the main leads in this swashbuckling pirate musical. The audiences at both the Thursday matinee on March 24 and the evening performance on March 25 enioyed every minute of the production. To show their appreciation to Mr. Lemon for his effort and direction, the cast presented him with a hand-painted tie. As soon as the operetta was over, work was begun by all vocal groups to pre- pare their numbers for the Western Washington Vocal Festival held April 30. Here, Glee Clubs received a superior rating, the A Capella Choir, an excellent. A two- hundred-fifty voice combined chorus, including many Highlinites, also performed. Hedy Perko was chosen to be one of the accompanists. At the Northwest Music Educators' Conference at Portland the choir was again represented. Alan Stanley, Don Hogan, and Lillian Manzo were the three Highline students who sang in the large five-hundred voice chorus. The conference lasted nearly a week, ending in a concert in which the chorus took part. On May 5, the choir and Glee Clubs sang in the Annual Spring Concert, their last performance ofgthe year.

This was accomplished through various means, such as participation in Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, small ensembles, and general music classes. The students learned appreciation by singing, having a knowledge of, and memorizing the music. They also listened to records of many great artists. Supervised by Mr. Edward Kinney, the Highline iunior high had a busy and successful year. Eighth and ninth grade en- sembles participated in the two district meets, one of which was held at Highline and the other at Auburn. The maior events ofthe year were the Annual Christmas Concert and the Spring Concert. The Christmas program consisted of the com- bined glee clubs, small ensembles, and the vocal presentation of the Nativity scene with costumes, music, and scenery of the fifteenth century. Following this was the Spring Concert which was held during Music Week and consisted of all iunior high ensembles. At this time a one-act operetta, Walk the Plank, was presented by the Boys' Glee Club. l m8 O-Q Q15 00 Q0 83 JUNIOR ORCHESTRA 0 Row 5 ftopl: Mr. Jakey iestic. Row 3: A.

MUSICIANS ON THE MARCH ONE OF THE MOST enthusiastic iunior high school musical organizations was the Junior Orchestra. About forty instruments composed this group during the current year. The more industrious members were given opportunities to advance into Junior Band or Senior Orchestra by passing regular tests and playing solos. Some of these hard-working music makers who made the grade were Carolyn Stober, Margaret Whaley, and Dennyece Swenson. The Junior Orchestra took part in two big programs, one at Christmas and the annual Spring Concert early in May. The Junior Band is the half way mark between instrument class and the upper group. Being a member of this group gives the beginning musician the advantage ot band training before he enters the Senior Band. Junior Band played for a iunior high assembly April 14, with Jack Pankretz and Paul Mugford as soloists. They also took part in the Annual Spring Festival May 4, playing a group of num- bers. Some of their activities were playing at basketball and football games. Both groups were directed by Mr. Howard Jakey. McGath, Maze. Row 4: l.. Hayes, J.

Their ability to take raw material and turn it into polished athletes paid oft in touchdowns, baskets, runs, and points. The coaches adopted a motto which they keep in mind while building the teams. The motto was: Organization is the art of getting men to respond like thoroughbreds. When you call on a thoroughbred, he gives all the strength, heart, and sinew in him. V Coaches do much more than iust build a team. The men on the Pirate coaching staff have given their boys more than memories. Through their ettorts to instill in a player the will and determination to carrythrough with a play, they build a boy of stronger character-endowing him with traits which will remain with him the rest of his life, for . . . A coach's teaching affects eternity, He knows not where his influence will stop. COMPLETI m......-. ,...,.. ..

One point can be a big margin, especially if your opponents have the one point in their favor. Puyallup beat the Pirates, 13-12. Dick Holler played outstanding ball in this game. Mike Colasurdo, an alert Pirate guard, charged through the Viking line, intercepted a lateral and ra ed 30 c yards for Highline's second touchdown, but the try for the extra point failed. Playing its second home game of the season, Highline lost a heartbreaker to the Enumclaw Tigers, 9-6. The Pirates only touchdown came late in the game, when Bill Loken ran 50 yards for a first and ten, and then traveled the remaining seven yards to pay dirt. Blanking Sumner 21-0, the Pirates gained their second victory of the season before a large homecoming crowd. Howie Hedlund gave fans a thrill, as the blocked and recovered a Sumner punt early in the second half. Rex Malone's passes to ends Jack Angove and Jerry Madland contributed in a large way to Highline's success.

Highline threatened only once in the game, when Bill Loken got off to a brilliant 75-yard run late in the fourth quarter. h h rar With the close of the season the players selected Jerry Nas as ono y captain.

Fate seemed to be against the Pirate squad during the regular season, as a team which was strong enough to win captured only three meets while losing four. Highline outswam Mt. Vernon and Bremerton high schools, but lost to Lincoln and Stadium of Tacoma, and to Longview and Aberdeen. ln the state meet at the University of Washington pool, free styler Dick Simmons captured the TOO yard title. Jay Bedard, last year's 50 yard free style champ, was second in this event. Diver Link Pettit was unable to defend his championship, losing to Stadium. Bill Rule and Gale Mood will be back next year, contending for state titles. THEY WENT A COURTIN' AS THE YEARBOOK went to press, Pop Laird felt that the tennis team had an excellent chance of winning the league championship, for at that time the team had only three games left on its schedule. The Kent-Meridian Royals, the Puyallup Vikings, and the Sumner Spartans had all made their bow to the Pirate netters. The Clover Park team was the only squad that managed to score on the Pirates, but Highline came through with flying colors, winning the game 4-l. This year's first squad consists of Betty Morgan-with her undefeated two year record-girls' singles, Ann Keller and Betty Humes, girls' doubles, Carlyn Walsworth and Ginny Selivanoff, mixed doubles, Bob Hogan, boys' singles, and Jim Massick, Ted Bell, Bill Batterson and Dick Stanko, who were challenging each other through- out the season for their place in boys' doubles.

Four pre-season games under their belts, Coach Bill Trowbridge's boys began the season with a 43-23 victory over the Buckley Mountaineers. After winning the next two games from Lake Washington, 40-27, and Puyallup, 37-31, Highline was tripped up twice: once by the Troians of Auburn, 39-31, and once by Renton, 48-43. ln the following weeks Highline picked six wins. Enumclaw fell under a 51-33 score after leading the Pirates during the entire first half of the game. Beginning the second round of play, Highline again dropped Buckley, Lake Washington, and Puyallup. Championship hopes soared as Auburn was blown into second place in a victory for the Pirates. But the home team again was unable to beat Renton, as the Indians scored their second win over the Buccaneers, this time by a decisive score of 50-38. Enumclaw and Clover Park were over-powered by Highline in the second contest with these schools, completing regular season play. Moving on to the league play-offs, which determined the champion team and conference representative to the state tourney, the Pirates emerged victorious over Sumner and were slated to vie with the Renton Indians, winners in the tilt with Auburn. Highline lost the contest by two free throws in the last 60 seconds of play with the final score 35-33. The result of these final games was Renton first, Highline second, Sumner third, and Auburn fourth. The Pirate squad sported two sets of brothers this year, Rex and Bob Malone were masters of the court, while Don Angove, the regular starter, and brother Jack took turns playing center. Bob Wolff and Dick Holler held down the forward posi- tions and at all times kept in the hair of their opponents.

The Pirates had a record of six consecu- tive wins. They beat the Buckley Mountaineers 44-33, Puyallup 37-26, Auburn 20-18, Renton 21-18, Enumclaw 40-26 and Buckley 35-29. Puyallup refused to be downed for the second time and dumped Highline 30-27. Renton, following the same line of reasoning, beat the Pirates 29-26. The Buccaneers won over Enum- claw for the second time 39-25, but lost their final game ofthe season 20-30 to the Clover Park Warriors.

THE MANLY ART INSTALLATION of the new gym and exercise room this year made it possible for some of the more energetic Pirate Petes to release a few calories in the manly art of self- defense. Mr. Hurley DeRoin was responsible for this program and also instructed the participants. Turnouts started in the fall with conditioning and fundamentals for the first few weeks. After working on fundamentals for some time, the boxers and grunt and groaners had a few slow matches. The purpose of these matches was to point out weak points of the contestants so they could be worked on. The finale of the season was the championship smoker held in the new gym. Champions in all weight divisions in both boxing and wrestling were determined at this time. Proceeds from the event were used in the purchase of athletic equipment. Although no awards could be given this year, it is hoped that meets may be held with other schools in the future and these activities will become maior sports. A year of intramural events has been sufficient to indicate that, while the struggling and pounding in the exercise room may have been reminiscent of the robust days of 1849, the present day pugilists undoubtedly have more skill and finess than their predecessors. so pK. KX 5' s ALAN STANLEY ED BEACH DOUG PIERSON JOHN LEFFLER PIRATE CINDERMEN FOLLOWING the same trend which they established during basketball season, the Pirate thin-clads were again situated in second place behind the perennially strong Renton Indians. Beginning the season on April Fools' Day, the Clover Park cinder- men nosed out Highline on the home field. A week later in the second scheduled meet, Enumclaw and Auburn were unable to match the Buccaneers' power as the visitors scored their initial victory of the season. For the second time in the season, Highline came in behind the Clover Park Warriors, but were able to out-run the Lake Washington Kangaroos on the Clover Park field. The Buccaneers put up a good battle but were not matches for the Renton Redskins. Performing on their new field, Renton ran away with the top spot, followed by Highline and Lake Washington. Although Highline was able to score only three points at the Centralia Relays, the league was ably represented by Renton tracksters, who captured, second place, coming in behind the host team. The sixth annual Highline Relays was the scene of the setting of six new track marks and the tying of a seventh. Notable among these were the medley and 108-yard shuttle low hurdles records, which were JUNIOR RACK 0 Standing: Ross, Bernal, Pearson, Wright, Clay, Schroeder, Hamre Harper MANAGERS 0 Standing Schmutz, Hegland.

Running as strong as they had previously, the Indians captured first, followed by Stadium of Tacoma and Highline in second and third, respectively. Highline and Renton each qualified fourteen men in the North End meet in May, while Clover Park led the field in the Southern Division. Playing hosts to the league, the Pirates took second with a total of 26 points at the all-conference meet. The Indians were first with 40 points and Clover Park third with 24. Taking their events for the Pirates were Don Schroeder, mile, Captain Ted McJunkin, half mile, and Bill Loken, shot put. Bill's throw of 48 feet 5X8 inch, established a new Puget Sound League track record. At the West Central District meet on the Highline track three Pirate cindermen qualified for the state meet. Bill Loken, three-year letter winner, went to Pullman as a shot put expert. Ted McJunkin earned his ticket in the half mile run. A dark horse, Jim Clay, came along to win his event by tying the West Central District pole vault record of ll feet 9 inches.

This activity was a natural introduction to the more exciting game of volleyball that was second in line. Tumbling and folk dancing then found their niches among the fast moving activities. With the first day of spring sunshine the girls trooped out to Memorial Field for their annual baseball season. Although not in the limelight, tennis and badminton had their share of interested followers. ln order to obtain the five points necessary for a letter, the girls partici- pated in three major and two minor sports and attended two playdays. Forging ahead, last year's letter winners reorganized the association, creating a Lettermen's Club with ofhcial pins and ties, and starting a scrapbook. The first H.G.A.A. initiation held at Highline caused much excitement in the halls, with initiates, dressed in ill-matched clothes, bowing low to all girl lettermen. The three girls chosen to guide the organization were Shirley McDonald, president, Virginia Cammarano, vice-president, and Doris Webster, secretary. Miss Emry willingly gave her time for the fourth consecutive year to the activities of the group. Through friendly competition with other teen-agers, the girls learned the art of fair play and the love of the sport for its own value rather than as a game that had to be won. Playdays also furthered this feeling by not having competition against the league schools but by playing with them. This friendly relationship between all girls helped to further the pioneer ideal of a strong body and a courageous mind. 7 VOLLEYBALL 0 Marvin, Rowe, Webster, Sieke. TUMBLING 0 Top: Nuff.

There were several teams organized to compete with each other in a tournament, with play-offs being held every Tuesday and Thursday after school until the winning team was determined. These friendly games helped the girls to realize that fair play and good sportsmanship were more important than winning the game. VOLLEYBALL-Slapping the ball to and fro across the net, the girls had a rollicking time playing volleyball. The competition ran high in the volleyball tournaments, although time would not allow the final playoffs. Not only did the girls play intra- mural volleyball, but they were also invited to a volleyball playday at Renton. Many of the girs longed to continue the sport throughout the year, but with other activities on the schedule, it could not be extended. TUMBLING-The most difficult and really the most tedious sport the girls partici- pated in was tumbling. Despite the complaints of aching backs and sore muscles, the mats were laid out and the vigorous activity of somersaulting ensued.

BADMINTON-Hitting the birdie wasn't as easy as it seemed-so the girls found when they turned out for one of the most popular minor sports, badminton. During this time many learned the skill necessary in handling the racquet and hitting the shuttlecock. Since many girls had badminton sets at home, they found it to be not only an enioyable school sport, but also one that they could enioy playing with their family and friends. BASEBALL-The coming of spring gave the H.G.A.A. baseball enthusiasts a chance to show their skill on the diamond. With the bats and balls brought out and dusted off, an exciting battle was started. Using Memorial Field for the first time as a baseball diamond was a privilege for the H.G.A.A.'ers. The competition of team play was a lot of fun, but such games as 500, Rely-Poly, and Scrub fol- lowed a close second.

ATHLETES IN THE MAKING PROBABLY ONE of the most important steps in a high school athlete's career is the training he gets in iunior high. The Pirate Babes of Highline who are interested in football, basketball, track, swimming, boxing, and wrestling have an excellent opportunity to develop a background of experience in these activities. As there were only two returning lettermen on this year's gridiron squad, Coaches Taylor and lverson were working almost entirely with inexperienced players. This may be the explanation for the rather unfortunate season last fall, with the Bambinos winning only one of their four games. Eighteen letters were awarded, sending a group of fine prospective players on to senior high. Coach Neil McKay also realized the handicap of no lettermen when he began whipping together his iunior high basketball squad. As is often the case with an inexperienced group of players, the season's results were not too good. The Babes took two and dropped six. Two eighth graders received awards and the iunior high looks forward to their experience and ability next year. The five letter winners from the freshman class will also make good material for the senior squad. At press time the iunior high track squad has won two of its four meets. As most of the events in this sport have never been practiced before, the boys get their introduction to track in iunior high school. The instruction, therefore, is of highest importance. Coach Taylor had to start from scratch and teach the Babes the correct form for high iumping, pole vaulting, putting the shot, and even such a common- place thing as running. lt is partly this instruction that determines the success of the contestant in later years. Hard work on the team's part promises a successful season. One of the busiest people in Highline's halls, Coach Hurley DeRoin, has been responsible for many intra-mural activities, especially in iunior high. Although there were some meets with other schools, the swimming team was placed in intramural sports because no league schedule was set up. For this reason emblems, instead of letters, were awarded. Boys turning out had to go in to the Y.M.C.A. pool to practice. The Babes had meets with several senior high second teams and remained undefeated at the close ofthe season. Two more ofthe varied intra-mural activities instructed by Mr. DeRoin were box- ing and wrestling. The iunior high participated in the same program as the senior high, working up to the championship tournament at the end of the season. No awards were given this year for boxing or wrestling, but it is hoped that next year's team may meet with other schools. SWIMMING 0 Standing: M. House Mood, Nystrom, Merrick, D.
