STUDENTS l 'tk' el y l VIII! 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.

Wing, Miss Mildred Mrs. Charles McJunkin. THEY SOUGHT NEW TREASURES THE WIDER the river the stronger the bridge. Realizing that there is a wide gap between home and high school, the Highline P.-T. 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.

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.
