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.

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.

As a moior activity, the boys attempted to curb the trafhc problem in front of the school by acquiring parking space for student cars. Largely through the efforts of a representative committee headed by .lohn DeVick, this space was cleared and made ready for parking. ln promoting school unity, early in the year the Boys' Club sponsored a student dance at the local fieldhouse, the proceeds of which went to the support of the group's activities. Many interesting assemblies also dominated this year's program. Mr. Ralph De Palma, former big-time race driver, talked and showed a film on hot rod clubs and organized student traftic courts. Their first formal assembly was held in December with a General Motors representative talking on the national car designing contest, sponsored by the Fisher Body Craftsmen Guild. Working together with the Washington State Patrol, the Boys' Club provided frequent safety checks on all student body automobiles. These check-ups proved beneficial not only to the students but to the entire community.
