IIIHECTURS 0F IIESTIIW OMBINING good sportsmanship and competition, Highline's student associa- tion headed a drive for school cooperation and unity. A group of able otiti- cers--President Rich Brandt, Vice-President Gertie Rogerss, Secretary Cheri Hansen, and Treasurer Phyllis Hoffman-started out the year with some new and different ideas. First, a student body olificers' conference was held at Enumclaw. At this meeting, the representatives of the various schools exchanged their ideas on stu- dent government which had proved valuable to their own student association. To promote better relations with the district businessmen, the ofticers organized a Hallowe'en clean-up program in which windows were de-soaped and signs of vandalism removed. Later, another aid to the community was enacted as students repaired road signs and cleared brush away from dangerous corners. A weighty problem for the graduating class was deciding on a chosen field in life. To help the students in this regard, the student body sponsored College Conference, a meeting of students with various representatives from colleges and universities throughout the state. Thus with this background established and knowledge attained, the graduate seniors look toward new horizons.

Then, donning their ieans and pedal-pushers, they transformed the old attendance office into a cheerful club- room. With clubroom completed, the girls sponsored the Friendship Tea in Sep- tember, honoring the new members. Near the holiday season a drive was undertaken for the needy. One hundred dollars was donated to a family in the neighborhood. To add to the holiday spirit, the Boys' Club ioined the girls for a Christmas party. But the holiday did not foster inactivity, for the Girls' Club was always busy-selling pennants, scarves, and even pickles. Various assemblies were given throughout the year, ranging from a modeling show to a skit about eating in the girls' powder room. With all the students attending for the first time, Careers' Day was a grand success. Forty-five speakers, representing the universities and careers, gave infor- mative talks on various occupations. Concluding the year's activities was the Mother-Daughter Hour, when the officers for nineteen-fifty-five were installed against the romantic background of the Old South.
