BAKER Former Superintendent LUE DEDICIITE . . . O BE superintendent of schools is no easy task, and yet perhaps it has its reward, for no man, except him who holds this office, can realize the vast poten- tialities that education gives to the individual. For twenty-three years, Mr. Baker, as superintendent, has striven to guide each succeeding generation of Highline's youth towards these ever-widening horizons of opportunity that constantly open before the enterprising citizen. Now Mr. Baker has decided to relinquish the duties of his office, and in his place Mr. Jenson has become head of the district. On him will fall the responsibility of carrying on the tremendous expansion and growth of the past quarter-century in the Highline schools. To Mr. Baker, then, go our commendation and thanks, to Mr. Jenson, our support and confidence for the future, and to both, the dedication of this 1954 PIRATES' LOG.

'ef - MQ As little children, many of us imagined that the horizon was an impenetrabl barrier limiting our activities to the encircling boundary. Some of us can remem- ents, we had gone far enough to learn that the horizon moves ahead as we go toward it, that It is a fixed barrier only to those who remain in one place. There are other horizons that drop their imaginary barrier around us as we strive ' ' to make headway in the more or less hectic struggle that we call life. The ways leading to these horizons are not dead-end roads, but go on and on toward J ber the day we set out to reach it. Before we were recovered by our frantic par- 5 lf t horizons that are ever retreating. - The theme, New Horizons, is particularly suited to the high school year. Seniors leaving school this year are seeking the opportunities that lie ahead. Those remaining in high school for a year or two will not forget the opportunities offered in the 'future classroom work, and the association with fellow students and teachers. Those are golden years for forming lifetime friendships and for learn- ing in the community life of the school something of the give and take that will be necessary to a successful career later. We have the satisfaction of knowing that what we seek is attainable. No iron curtain bars the way. But we must make our own new horizons by keeping on the move toward new goals. . Qekftiff-W
