Three years is a long time, and when that three years is spent in high school, it becomes a lifetime of memories. As each senior paused on his iourney and gazed back down the road whence he had come, he could recall countless happenings and events. The seniors could not forget their first day at Highline as frightened and awe-stricken sophomores, the first prom, homecoming, the first time they made Torch, the thrill of being football champs, the stagefright iust before the variety hour, the heartbreak of coming within one point of the finals in the state basketball tournament. There were the little things, too, the commonplace sights and feelings that become treasures when they dissolve into the past. The beauty of the cherry trees in spring, the clear, crisp evenings at football games, the frustration of one-way halls, the friendships that can never be replaced-all these and more form per- haps the most lasting memories of Highline to the Class of '54. Many were the members of the class who distinguished themselves in various fields of endeavor-Rich Brandt and Dick Doerflinger, all sports, Spencer Stokes, Eddie Bean, speaking, Mary Sue Still, Carol Rensch, and Andy Berg, drama. Betty Sue Brown, John Mendel, Cheri Hansen, Sally Hurlburt, and Barbara Morchin showed their scholastic talents by being on Grand Honor Roll. Traffic Safety was put into full swing by John DeVick and his co-workers. Jerry Bayne, Shirley Rhoades, Norma Woodard, and Jim Strecker excelled in Music. Recreational life was given a special boost by Richard Stredicke, Jean Mclavey, and Johnny Cola- surdo, while Lois Soden and Dana Blount helped to make the class conscious of the possibilities of fine arts. Now, with overfiowing memory books, the seniors move on, not as a class, but as individuals, each bound in his own way for his far horizon. A P!!
