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.

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.

' 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.
