Leonard F. 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.
