Every time these words are spoken there is a promise being made-that the flag of the United States will always be supported and believed in by the people whom it protects. Our flag has become the emblem of our democracy and in like manner the Key was selected as a symbol of all that may be used to open the doors of tomorrow. There are many keys and each has forged his own: the golden key of knowledge, which is found in our textbooks, comes first. Following is the valuable key of friendship that comes from the close association characterizing all extra-curricular activities. We present our yearbook for your enjoyment. May the Flag and your Keys work as one to bring you the opportunity for happiness with liberty and justice for all. Mgdlhyy-5,e!..f C5 f J ev , ff Dedicate . . . N THIS ERA understanding plays a decided part in our lives. By means of our education we learn to consider a country's history, customs, and environment before drawing conclusions about the inhabitants of the land. Consequently, those who instruct languages deserve special recognition as language may be called the master key on the key chain of brotherhood. Learning languages need not be dull and uninteresting. By taking a glimpse into Miss Lydia Palmer's room, the domain of those students who take Latin and French, we can prove this to be true. We see her classes enjoying pictures of France, which Miss Palmer snapped while studying there this past summer. Along with these col' ored slides go just as colorful accounts of her experiences as she traveled over the European countrysides. She keeps foreign languages challenging and the histories of Rome and France exciting. She seasons information with humor, and knowledge with understanding. Her influence carries beyond the classroom. Graduates are seen returning to Miss Palmer's room over and over again to visit with one of their former teachers, who has become a muchfloved friend. Thus, due to many factors, we are proud to dedi- cate our Key issue to Miss Lydia Palmer, who holds the master key to our hearts, and who has opened the door to a better understanding of the hearts of others. 1. J' r ,L N 5 R M Principal Principalss Message ONGRATULATIONS to the makers of this year's annual on the choice of Keys as the theme. No theme could be more appropriate. In this age of spef cialization there are many doors lockcd to those who do not have a key in the way of special preparation. The basis of such preparation is the course of study oiiered in the schools. Almost equally important are the contacts made with the many teachers and pupils in the school community. Mastery of the high school curriculum leads directly to further preparation in schools of higher learning, or supplies the keys that open doors directly into a chosen occupation. Your high school experiences and your acquaintance with the leaders of men through the study of past achievements should broaden your outlook in most of life's fields of endeavor, and should help you to select the particular key to your life vvork that suits your temperament ind your tilents Q Your conticts with so mmy different personalities among your teachers and fellow students also helps you to acquire the courtesy and tict which are ne essary keys to getting along with other people in liter activities We are ' ' ' f 2 2 . l ' 2 ' ' ' 1 f ' a ' e ' ' ' .

' ADMIN!! 7 R14 NON' CUOPERATICN is the Keypthat unlocks the door leading to better understanding between parents, pupils, and teachers. Here are pictured a few student leaders who assisted in the panel dis' cussion on teenfage problems at one of the P.T.A. meetings. And what did each one discover? Pull together-That Key will open any door. ll Wise Builders for the Future HIGHLINE SCHOOL BOARD 0 Standing: Mr. Carl O. Laudenbach, secretary and assistant superintendent of schoolsg Mr. Carl Jensen, superintendent of schools. Seated: Dr. Victor Thompf son, Mr. Lysle Guynn, vicefchairmang Mr. A. R. Jarvis, Mr. A. A. Soderquist, chairmang Mr. Stephen Osborn. DUCATIONAL successes in the Highline area are largely the result of the co- operation, foresight and efliciency of the school board. Their understanding of rising problems helped the entire district to adopt a building policy that included an overall picture of wise planning for a growing community with its expanding needs. Potential sites for future schools in the district demanded time and consideration. Soon to be constructed are the Evergreen Junior High School at Lakewood and the North Hill Elementary School, north of DesMoines. Planning schools which will be necessary to keep pace with the district's continuous growth constitutes only part of the school board's task. Setting up school policies which will be followed by the en' tire district and selecting the many capable teachers who serve in the schools consume much of the members' time. Serving on the board for thirtyfone years, Dr. Victor Thompson has followed the growth of the district from an enrollment of less than one thousand students to its present enrollment of over thirteen thousand pupils. The Highline school board has opened new doors in the growth of education. Friends Throughout the Year Mary Jenkins. P.T.A. O Standing: Mrs. Lillian Limage, vicefpresidentg Mrs. Justine Richards, treasurer. Seated: Mrs. Bernadine Mathison, presidentg Mrs. Marion Shcrrard, secretary. NDER the leadership of Mrs. T. M. Mathison, the Highline Parent Teacher Association established a precedent in P.T.A. procedure in the district. Active student participation stimulated adult interest in their activities and problems and resulted in increased attendance at the meetings and new understanding of student-adult relationships Realiz ing that much of the success of their extrafcurricular activities depended on the knowledge and approval of parents and teachers, students voiced their opinions of current teenfage problems through the medium of panel discussion, planned and conducted by the students themselves Serving capably under Mrs. Mathison to insure a most successful W year were Mrs. James Limage, vice'presidentg Mrs. J. H. Sherrard secre taryg and Mrs. J. D. Richards, treasurer. The year's progressive and wellfrounded program planning was competently cared for by Mrs Shirley Sholberg, Mrs. Lilly Anderson, Mrs. Nellie Brown, Loretta Palmason. Master Keys in Their Hands PITOME of efficiency might well be used to describe Highline's capable office force. Under direction of Mrs. Nellie Brown, ofiice manager, all student body business was smoothly coordinated. Though occupying two rooms, both the attend' ance unit and the main unit worked as one, with the aim of keeping the school in running order. Highline's comprehensive Hnancial system was supervised by Mrs. Lilly A. An' derson, bookkeeper. Both Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Brown were assisted in the main ofiice by seven, girls, who were trained not only in basic oflice practice but in meet' ing people and maintaining friendly relations with Highline's many students and business associates. Two new additions to the office staff this year were Shirley Sholberg, registrar, and Loretta Palmason, attendance clerk. As registrar, Miss Sholberg, a Highline graduate, presided over all permanent files and records. Miss Palmason, class of 1954, had the tremendous task of keeping track of more than two thousand students. She was assisted by eighteen girls, who posted attendance and performed general office tasks. As in previous years, Mrs. Nellie Brown, office manager and perpetual motion personified, was the spark behind the desk in room 151. Constantly on the alert, she could be found anywhere, filling requisitions, returning lost report cards, remind' ing Mr. johnson of unfinished business, or calming disgruntled students.

Each in His Uwn Field UPPLEMENTING the faculty of Highline High School are these members of the Special Service Faculty, all highly skilled in their various fields, who have given so freely and generously of their time. Mrs. Jean Wolfson, the school nurse, headed the health safety of the students, while Mr. Kenneth Moen and Mrs. Bertha Brevik home'tutored those who were ill. Mr. Harry R. Bidlake and Mrs. Minnie' Chamness corrected the speech of those stu' dents needing aid. Mr. Austin Huhn spent his time checking on attendance in the district. Mr. Abner Breakey was director of maintenance and Mr. George Miaullis headed the busdrivers who meticulously kept the buses in the best of condition for the difficult task they had to perform. Mr. William Furman was purchasing agent for this year and Mrs. Cecelia Wheeler carefully planned for the hearty appetites of the Highline students. Mrs. Beulah Warfield always was willing to give a help- ing hand as cofordinator of instructive materials, while Mr. Robert Burgess was the director of special education and Mrs. Dorothy Thordarson was curricular cofordinator. SPECIAL RECOGNITION goes to the girls who, with their combined talents, added an artistic touch to Highline's book haven. Exceptionally beautiful were the painted windows at Christmas.

STUDENT BODY OFFICERS 0 jerry jackson, president: Polly Norem, vicefpresident: Joan Wtiod, secretary: Neva Fuller, treasurer. Captains of the Pirate Ship ET'S WORK TOGETHER was the motto of the Board of Control, ably headed by student body ofiicers Jerry Jackson, president: Polly Norem, vicefpresident: Neva Fuller, treasurerg and ,loan Wood, secretary. This administrative body combined the skills and initiative of the many clubs and service groups of a growing student body to open activity possibilities for the greatest number of Highline students in history. Typical of the activities designed to bring about better student co-operation was the annual Halloween cleanup. This job succeeded in promoting better relations with the community as well as starting many students off on the right foot for a full year's activities. The trend towards selffgovernment and selffdiscipline became eminent with an overwhelming vote for a Highline Student Court, an organization aimed at student control of school problems. Mr. Larry Lemmel, adviserg and Clyde Strickland, chair' man, provided much of the drive and most of the leadership in this effort at demo' cratic student government. This follows the Highline Traffic Court, which again proved successful, and is a dennite step forward in the teaching of democracy in the high school. Mr. johnson, principal: and Mr. Wiggins, vicefprincipal, backed their adminisf trative philopsophy, With privileges come responsibility: the more responsibilities accepted, the more privileges allowed, by allowing the Highline Union Building. Under complete student direction, lengthy planning was begun and midyear saw the initial construction for the renovation of the old shop into a spacious activity center.

This swarm of bees was always busy, whether it was electing the next Girl of the Month or figuring out new tricks to play on the Boys' Club. Realizing that the sting is more potent than the promise, the Girls' Club set out to make themselves felt throughout the school. With Claudette Potter reigning as Queen, the Friendship Tea and Dance were carried out in traditional fashion. Next, an urgent note was sent to the Boys' Club, challenging them to a two-hundred dollar goal for the Highline Union Building. Their curt reply of Mind your own beeswax was promptly ignored. The enerf getic girls began selling pickles, tootsie pops, and Pirate pennants to help beat the boys. Minutes before their assembly was scheduled to go on, the Girls' Club was prof claimed the winner. The holiday season was also filled with bustling activity, including the annual Christmas movie, middy decoration contest, and a party for the Ruth School girls, The sale of crunchy popfcorn balls and candy canes also added to the holiday spirit fand the treasuryj. After Christmas, girls were needed to help on Saturdays with the March of Dimes Drive. Their reward was the knowledge that the money used for research in discovering the new vaccine for conquering polio came from these March of Dimes funds. An assembly featuring Girls' State was given in March, with the officers from Puget Sound and Sylvester Junior Highs attending as guests. Climaxing the season was the MothcrfDaughter Hour. To the theme of L'Enchantmente De Paris the new cabinet was installed, thus concluding another highly successful Girls' Club year.

Traf' fic Court sessions were held once a week to singe the tailfeathers of all Highline ' P Johnson, Boys' Club president, traffic violators. Court sessions were conducted by ete ' ' b h' hardfworking oliicers and cabinet. A television prof . . 5. .d and penalties were given y is gram showing the mechanics of the Traffic Court in action received statewi e recognition. Safety vehicle checks were conducted at various times during the year.

This important y well as to the community. ' the lively competition between Providing a challenge as well as entertainment was the fund raising drive for the new student union d Boys' and Girls' Clubs during - building. Happy as larks could well describe the boys near the opening of the rive. However, their cheerful song did not last very long. An incident beyond the boys' control enabled the girls to win by a very slight margin. In their manly chirrfup, the boys warbled a variety of tunes for their big talent quest assembly. Leading the group in a rousing cheer were the Yell Queens, the Messrs. Aliment, Lemmel, Hemstad, and Lemon. Various acts given included the ndition of the Charleston. Light as a can-can, Liberace at the keyboard, and a re feather on their toes, the great ballet troupe composed of the Highline football team ended the show.

Fond Are Their Memories UST as they were about to sail on o'er the sea of life, the Class of '55 paused on the threshold of the future to reminisce on those joyous days past . . . some, far removed into the infinite space of timeg others, still as vivid as the moment they happened. The doubts and anxieties of that first year in school have long worn off, but many will often remember the excited feeling that swept over them during that first bit of recitation. They draw from the back of the picture fond memories of the enthusiasm they displayed as the varsity basketball team walked off with the myth' ical 1951 Washington State Basketball Championship. As their second year came and went, the Class of '55 participated a bit more in school activities. While some were winning honors in sports, others were selected to govern the junior high. Additions from Puget Sound Junior High School brought new ideas to sophomore class movements. As one cooperative group they forged ever on' ward over the trials and tribulations of their sophomore and junior years. With a surety accumulated from past experiences, they became expectant for that last year. When Don Ossinger, Linda Walker, Sharon Schwindt, and Allison Hill were selected to lead the Class of '55 through their senior year, they immediately responded with a will to succeed in every endeavor. The football team started events rolling by capturing second place in the Puget Sound League. Within the classroom, as well as without, other seniors were making names for themselves. Lauren Jakey earned the title, Master of Music, while Anne Berryhill and Leon Brauner headed the cast in the school play, Our Miss Brooks. A Toast from Coast to Coast, the '55 Variety Hour, kept scores busy helping with its production and presentation to a TV audience along with the regular audience at the school. A new student recreation area, the HUB, was christened in a momentous surge of studentfbody support. As the members of the Class of '55 move on to newer goals, may it he marriage, avi L . a job, or higher education, they will always be able to look hack into the wake of the dx 4 - past and recall cherished memories. t ' .g bf Q o 0 .

Graduation . . . the Opening Door MID the hustle and hustle of the end of another school year, the Commencement Committee worked out the plans for one of the most important weeks for the seniors-graduation! The spirit of this year's exercises centered around thc theme, Today's Keys Open the Doors of Tomorrow. On Sunday, June 5, the Baccalaureate Committee, advised by Miss Margaret Ryd' holm, brought to the graduation class a beautiful Sunday service. Heading the group was Chairman Harlan Gilliland. The secretarial arrangements were taken care of by Barbara Lindersmith. The Baccalaureate exercise had as its guest speaker, the Reverend D. Barnette from the First Baptist Church in Tacoma. Special music was provided by Highline graduates. The A Cappella choir sang an anthem as their con' tribution to the service. The Highline orchestra furnished the music for the procesf sional and the rceessional. The next day, Monday, surrounded by blue carnations and almost two thousand future seniors. juniors, and sophomores, the 1955 graduating class presented the thirtieth annual Class Day. Included on the program was the reading of the class poll, prophecy. history, and will, sparked with entertainment under the direction of Mr. Bill Moeller, Sponsored by the High Lines, Class Day of 1955 was spotted with laughter and a few tears. It was an event to be locked in the hearts of all of the seniors as part of their key to the future. Closing commencement week on the night of June 7, the speakers, chosen by the faculty and the Senior Class, played a major role in the ceremonies of graduation, They opened the doors of understanding to their friends and the school's patrons. Earl jenkins, speaking on the Key to Learning, was followed by Mary Lou McClung who developed the theme, so well suited to her, The Key to Friendship, Cptimism sought a satisfying level in Key to Success, by Anne Berryhill. Finally, john Sher' wood crossed the threshold to unknown Challenges with Open the Doors to Tomorf row. So ended the most momentous time of a senior's life, as each received his diplof ma and walked Out the doors of Highline for the last time. 48 Special Honors COHFCTTBII UPOII TIIBSC ey SBHIOTS .

Onward an Upwar with ,56 ERHAPS one of the happiest moments for the juniors came at the end of the year when they paused to look back upon their accomplishments of the past year. Elected by the juniors to lead this class were Alan Bahrenburg, presidsntg Nlarilyn Wells, vicefpresidentg Betty Colello, secretaryg and Sandra Petellin, treasurer. Counf selor Mr. Neil McKay and adviser Mr. Donald Simpson stood by to smooth out any problems that might arise. Despite their heavy schedule and many activities, the juniors won acclaim in every field. First semester Grand Honor Roll was achieved by Charles Cooper, Ken Gissf berg, Mary Ann Fujimura, Sandra Petellin, Nancy Sell, Jan Snyder, and Lyn Stein' hart. Chosen to carry on the important duties of Student Body Business Manager was Nancy Sell. Bonnie Searle and Kay Rehnstrom were picked to represent the junior girls on the Girls' Club Cabinet. Royalty was in their crowd when Barbara Lee was chosen as one of the princesses of Homecoming. Wcirking hard to make this a safer community in which to drive were the junior members of Traffic Safety Conf ference, Judy Reed, Keith Davison, Alan Bahrenburg and john Matson. Excelling in music at the Western Vtkishington Music Conference were Darryl John' son and Diane McMahon. The juniors were mighty proud when Marion Bergesen and Ginger Freeze were elected Queens of the Yell and Song Staffs respectively. They were equally proud when Bob Doerflinger and Carol Hawkinson were chosen to follow Marion on Yell Staff. ,lan Rhoades and Verna Smalley were also on Song Staff. The sports held had by no means been overlooked. Alan Bahrenburg, Richard Binford, Dennis Carlson, jerry Colgan, Michael Crown, Don Keppler, Russel Kline, john Mat' son, Bill Rich, Bill Slemko, Bob Smith, and Carl VVest won letters in football for play' ing on the varsity team.

I l , Great Days Coming with 57 OPHOMORES, SOPHOMORES, SOPHOMORES! As far as the eye can see! The class of '57 entered Highline almost as a body from Puget Sound junior High. The largest class ever registered, the sophomores quickly acclimated themselves and became an integral part of school functions. Under the direction of Miss Mary Durning, counselor, and Mr. James O'Brien, adviser, the year got off to a fine start with election of ofhcers. Dave Bible was elected president, with Kathy Everham assisting as vicefpresident. Patty Chapman acted as scribe, with LeRoy Young handling money matters. Showing outstanding interest in schoolwork, ten sophs represented their classmates on Grand Honor Roll in the first semester. They were Paul Boynton, Priscilla Carrier, Diane Gunsul, Kathy Mansfield, Ted Milhalisin, Ruth Nichols, Jerry Rogers, Stanley Sawyer, Sheila Strauss, and Diana Yansen. Serving on the newly formed sophomore Girls' Club Cabinet were Sandie Hayes, Diane Fuller, Sherry Platt, Nancy Thomas, Diana Giles, Carol Austin, and Judy Kipper, with Priscilla Carrier elected representative to Girls' Club Cabinet. Holding down the male end of things were Boys' Club members Ted Mihalisin, Dave Bible, Dave Hodson, and Rich Stanley. Working on the Pirates' Log were Pat Me- lick, Judy Snowberger, and Nanci Carson. In the artistic department, Priscilla Carrier earned a gold key for fashion design. Georgia McVey headed the allfsophomore Tick' eteers' Club. Perhaps the major activity for many class members was A Toast from Coast to Coast, this year's variety hour. Almost onefthird of the cast was sophomores, with Gary Dethlefs and Mary Graves making a special hit. The sophomores also devoted their time and energy to the new H.U.B. building, Georga McVey was co-chairman of the rules committee, while Gary Dethlefs served in organizing games and recrea- tion. Peggy Robertson and Dave Butler worked hard on traffic safety council, attend- ing the AllfKing County Traffic Safety Conference. It would seem that the sophomores, with clear minds, strong hearts, the determina' tion of youth, and an eye to the future. are indeed the keys to tomorrow. 60 sf' if W Egi- ve-5792 , .en QE -me pg , .. .11 :mg i g,, g.1 Q ' V. x 5 .

Kings of the Highline Highway HIRTY-TWO men and one woman were exceedingly important to the pupils of Highline High. The bus drivers, driving about 245,604 miles, transported ap' proximately 1,361,851 students to and from school. Each driver was carefully selected and given twenty hours of bus driving instruction, including First aid. Some of the drivers have children attending schools in the district, some are graduates from High' line, or they are businessmen in the district, working part time. Safety was the motto of these people as they carried out their duties. The hus drivers were aided by the bus patrolmen, who kept order on the huses, leaving the drivers free to concen' trate on the road. The Cuplooard Was NCVEI' Bare HE uncrowned queens of Highline attracted more than 1,200 pupils daily to the lunch line with their large assortment of a la carte dishes in addition to their regular menu. During the nine-month period they served approximately 55,800 plate lunches. The most popular meal consisted of a hamburger, a malt, and potato chips. The kitchen queens insist that the real reward for their hours of preparation were the smiles of appreciation from their satisfied patrons. '70 Safety Was Their Business ROMOTING safe driving and the proper attitude toward laws and law enforce' ment was the purpose of the Student Traffic Court. With this in mind the Boys' Club officers and cabinet, under the guiding hands of Mr. Hallgrimson, faculty sponf sor, and Patrolman Dan Cameron of the Washington State Patrol, set a record year for decreasing the number of cases. Speeding, faulty equipment, following too closely, failing to stop at stop signs, fail' ing to yield the right of way, and hitchfhiking were what kept the fellows in business. If the violator had no objection to being tried by the court, and if he were found guilty after both sides of the story were heard, he was assigned a penalty of a definite number of hours of campus work. Some disciplinary measures were: bus garage duty, washing the driver-training car, cafeteria and campus eleanfup, helping in the parking lot, and schoolboy patrol. Most important, the offender had to go to the Seattle Po' lice Department Accident Prevention School or the Pedestrian Safety School. The Traffic Court proved itself worthy of praise and acclaim this year. Auburn High School organized a court similar to Highline's. Then at the Kitsap County Safety Conference, Highline's Traffic Court was again used as an example. Their program on television station KCTS furthered the court's publicity and proved that Safety Was Their Business. SAFETY COUNCIL 0 Standing: jack Kompan Keith Davison, Alan Bahrenburg, Armondo Verdi Seated Safety Traffic Counci COfORDINATING safety activities around school kept the Traffic Safety Council busy this year. Among its activities were the Traff fic Safety Week and assembly, improving Fire drill time, a television program, cofordinating the Halloween check, attending the Governor's Safety Conference and attending the Annual King County Safety Conference in February at the Olympic Hotel. Before this conference a delegate from the council attended planning committee meetings where the conference was organized by the students. Armed with infor- mation about their individual topics, such as law enforcement, traffic courts, hot rod clubs, safety projects and driver training, they trek- ked off to Seattle, only to bring back more recommendations to the Student Body that would help solve the traffic problem.

Equipped to Turn T0morrow's Key OLDING the key of knowledge to open the door to wisdom and understanding were the two hundred and thirtyfeight Highline students who are members of the National Torch Honorary Society of 195465. There were sixty-eight seniors, sixty' five juniors, and one hundred and five sophomores who fulfilled the requirements of scholarship and extrafcurricular activities to qualify for membership. A Torch member must maintain a B average with two extrafcurricular activities. Twenty points must be earned to qualify as a member. An A counts three points, a B counts two points, and a C counts one. To obtain activity points a student participates in sports, drama, clubs, and does other services. Craig Gunsul was chosen president at the first meeting of the year, while the folf lowing officers were elected to serve under him: vice-president, John Matsong secretary, Priscilla Carrier, treasurer, Dave Annibal. The main activity this year was the annual Torch assembly which was held in October to honor the senior members and to give them their pins. The senior pin is a small sterling bar with three gold bands set against a purple background. The juniors wear pins with two bands while the sophomores have one band on theirs. The pro' gram also featured Mahammed Burney, who gave an interesting talk and answered questions on ways of living in Pakistan, With john Matson as master of ceremonies, student members presented a program which included the following: a tuba trio, whose members were Mr. Howard jakey, Mr. Spencer Hungerford, and Mr. Harry Lemon, playing Hernando's Hideaway, Rub a Dub, and Dragnet g Diana Carson play- ing an organ number, Tangle Tangovg Juanita Cropley reciting Can't Rememberng Peggy Robertson and Diana Carson singing The High and the Mighty with Priscilla Carrier accompanying on the piano and Dave Kennedy whistling. From a group of about fifty students in 1929, the Torch Society has grown along with Highlfne until it is one of the largest organizations in school. Because of its size, activities as a group are limited, but its members are keenly aware of the privileges of membership. These include the honor study periods, which means that senior Torch members are issued passes that enable them to leave the study hall when they wish to work or play somewhere else. 78 Equipped to Turn Tomorrowss Key fC0Hlfl-l Ably assisting the Torch oflicers and members with these activities was Mr. Earl Trowbridge, who has been the Torch adviser since 1937. Also, a great deal of the success of the Torch Society may be found in ideals of the administration and faculty of Highline who continue to emphasize the importance of sound scholarship and give so much attention to the mental growth of the individual student. The requirements for participation in extra-curricular activities emphasizes that good grades are not enough-the students should also participate in school affairs and cooperate with others. The members of Torch are the students who realize that thc main purpose of go- ing to school is to attain scholarship and to contribute to the activities of the school and in this way make a better school community. Surely, these are the students who hold the key to a good future, for they are the possewors of attitudes of responsibility that will enable some of them to perform ordinary tasks in an extrafordinary way and to others to perform extra-ordinary tasks in an ordinary way.

Standing Hrm in their reso- lutions, members of the crew spent much of their time turning back those students who insisted, I'm just going a little way down the hall. It won't matter if I go the wrong way. Some tried tricks to get by, others, forceg but most became resigned and went the right way. In order to enforce and keep order in the one-way halls at Highline, the Knights of Cutlass spent approximately 132 hours a year. In the enforcing and keeping order at the football games, basketball games, and track meets, they spent another three to four hours at each event. But it was not all work and no pay. They were admitted free to the Variety Hour and the West Central Tournament in return for their serv' ices at these events. For the Western Washington Orchestra and Choral Contest and Homecoming, the Knights were excused all day for ushering and serving as guides for Highline's guests. As token of appreciation of the fine work the Knights of Cutless have shown throughout the year, the school sponsored an all-expense paid trip to the State Bas' ketball Tournament at the Hee Edmondson Pavilion on the University of Washington campus. The Knights had to provide their own transportation, but the school paid for their admission. Early in the fall Jim Eklund was chosen skipper. Elected by the group to assist the skipper were first mate Gary Thomas and the scribe Hugh Shaw. Mr. Lowell Mason served as faculty adviser. By October the membership was brought up to full strength by the addition of twelve new members to supplement the twelve that had been elected last spring. In the spring the following juniors were chosen to form the nu' cleus of next year's Knights: Frank West, Sonny Matson, A1 Bahrenburg, Bill Sokof lick, Bill Slemko, Keith Davison, Don Keppler, Gordy Ringoen, John Wiltse, Roger jenkins, and Dave McElroy. Having gained experience this spring, the new crew are ready to step into full control next fall, assuring Highline of an experienced group of oflicials to handle the crowds that will be in the corridors in September.

Punlcy,s Pirate Publicizers UTTING Highline in the key place before the community was the Publicity Club. Punky Esping, president, along with his chief locksmiths, Karen Dahlgard, vice' presidentg Ann Cwens, secretaryg and Phyllis Dobbins, treasurer, helped keep High' line in the news. Club meetings took place in the room of the adviser, Miss Laura' belle Minter. Prior to each school activity vigilant members distributed numerous colorful post' ers provided by Mr. Donald Simpson's talented art classes, throughout the district to the various business concerns. This cheery means of announcing coming high school events helped to increase the attendance at school functions, especially at the all-school play, the band concert, and the football and basketball games. When these events had taken place, or that particular sport season was concluded, the posters were retrieved by the club members who had put them up-a job that appealed only to a limited few. An extra heavy task was set before the Publicity Club when the Variety Hour was in full swing. Three times as many posters were distributed during this revue than for any other school activity. Command Performance posters had to be put up during March for the two unplannedfon evening shows. These extra posters were distributed as far as Midway, halfway between Seattle and Tacoma. This year the Highline Publicity Club expanded its boundaries to new media of advertising school events. Television played a definite part in the publicity planning, The Highline Advisory Council produced a series of television programsg one featured life in the modern high school as portrayed by faculty members and students. Then to promote safer driving, a Trailic Court program was presented to explain how High' line students work with the State Patrol on this matter. This program aided in rousf ing interest in the court and drawing visitors to Highline to view our Traflic Court in session. In view of the continual growth of the Publicity Club in past years, it is believed that this organization will unlock the door to many interesting possibilities in nine- teen fiftyfsix. 83 SCIENCE CLUB 0 Officers seated: Ken Peterson, treas- urer: Dale Ingle, secretary: Mike Huntley, vicefpresif dent: Paul Bray, president.

Masters of the Boar NDER the capable direction of adviser Alf Hemstad and president Bob Kuvara the Chess Club enjoyed evergrowing popularity. The club's main activity this year was maintaining a challenge ladder. On this ladder challenges were made to the players on the step above with the object of sooner or later occupying the top spot. Dale Bjornson held the job of secretaryftreasurer. Some of the top players on the ladder and in the club were Bob Kuvara, Bob Congden, Dick Milligan, Stuart Plumb, Don Hickey, Dale Bjornson, john Dietrichs, Bruce Culver, and Hollis Broderick. Meetings were scheduled before and after school and at noon in Mr. Hemstad's room. Scientists Lead the Way ERTAINLY in the future man will be turning ever to the vast new fields of ' science for the answers to innumerable problems. This year Highlines neophyte scientists enjoyed an especially active year. The Science Club is a national organizf tion consisting of all students interested in any phase of science. Their many activities included an assembly for the student body and several field trips of current interest. At their bifmonthly meetings special reports were given by students in the various science departments. This year's president, Paul Bray, along with vicefpresident Mike Huntley, secretary Dale Ingle and treasurer Kenny Peterson, and the hardfworking corps of faculty advisers from each science class, all agreed that the Science Club's second year at Highline was most successful. Drop thy pipe, thy happy pineg Sing thy songs of happy cheer! So I sang the same again, Wliile he wept with joy to hear.

Organized as a service club three years ago, SPADES works to promote the welfare of handicapped children through knowledge, under' standing, acceptance, and service. Sponsored by the Highline Kiwanis organization, it is a nonprofit club. functioning during the school year. As an active club, the SPADES accomplished a great deal in '54 and '55. They held workshops where they made therapeutic aids, such as button boards, toys, bibs, and doll dressers. Traveling to Lakewood School, the group gave parties for the chilf dren and in return, speakers from the school addressed their meetings. The Highline SPADES visited regularly the handicapped children in the district and took turns babyfsitting for many. The membership in SPADES was open to any student who was interested in help- ing others. This year the group was guided by Patty Ranft, president, Willamae Anderson, vice-presidentg and Barbara Doutrich, secretaryftreasurer: Advisers were Miss Blanche Wzltt, faculty coordinator, and Mrs. Dorsey Prater, Kiwanis sponsor.

With these resounding words Highline's Yell and Song Club started the year with a lot of enthusiasm. More than one hundred and fifty members eagerly encouraged school spirit by selling many attractive and useful rooter hats, shakers, cushions, and football pinsg also they sponsored a dance at the fieldhouse. Leading the group, with their main objectives being to promote game attendance and support the Yell and Song staffs, were the oiiicers: Gene Bingham, president, Betty Colello and ,leb Baldi, vice-presidents, Carole Hawkinson and Kay Luthy, sec' retariesg Connie Iszley, treasurer, and Mrs. Helen MeConkey, faculty adviser. It is planned to separate the club next year into three groups by classes. It is felt that this will create support, provide competition among the classes. and solve the problem of such a large group. With all these energyfpacked activities on their record, it certainly can be said that the members of the 195465 Yell and Song Club made their place in the annals of the school.

Pep Club Sponsors Homecoming ITH the Board Walk as the rendezvous, more grads than ever before came back to see old friends and classmates at Homecoming this year. Homecoming is Pep Club's major activity. This year President Rita Berg and her cohorts Kay Rehn' strom, jean Mclntosh and Judy Blount, along with her hardfworking committees and Mra Hugh Emry, faculty adviser, made Homecoming one of the most successul ones to ate. Reigning over the festivities were Queen Roberta Wernier, junior Princess Barbara Lee and Barbara Dean, graduate princess. The day's highlights included the annual luncheon and assembly with guest speaker Bob Salter, local disc jockey. Later on, gridiron fans were thrilled when the Pirates tied the score with Kentflvieridian, 13-13. Following the game, hundreds of grads and students attended the big dance at the Spanish Castle. Various other highspots this year were meetings held at private homes, and a late spring picnic for members and their guests, held at a local lake for those inclined to paddle a bit.

Their Keys Led to Victory ITH the dream of State Championship fulnlled, Highline debaters checked off 54-55 as one of the greatest yet. Last fall, twentyffive debaters held the key that opened the door to: Resolved that the Congress of the United States Should Abolish Protective Tariffs. At the door stood Mrs. Justine Richards to help Pirate speakers over the threshold. In the weeks that followed, many voices championed the cause of protection. At first they came from old timers, john Sherwood, presidcntg .lack Kompan, vicefpresidentg Byron Ehle, secretaryftreasurerg or from those no less experi- enced Allan Munro, Stan May, and Jerry Sherrard. It was not long before others were heard. The year began as successfully as it ended. In the Student Congress of Pacific Lutheran College, the voices of Graham McDade, Dennis O'Brien, Leon Brauner, and Roger Doebke aided as john Sherwood brought home the first place trophy and Byron Ehle and jack Kompan won awards of merit for their outstanding work. League debates were soon under way and more new voices were heard-Evelyn Robinson, Sara McClure, and Pat Webster became known throughout the Puget Sound Debate League as Highliners won 15 and lost only 7. This earned a seat for them in the Washington State Debate Tournament at Pullman. Here John Sherwood and Allan Munro, carrying Highline's colors, won first place at State and a trip to Calif fornia for the National Forensic League National Tournament in June. A week pre' ceding, these two, with Geneva Topping, Leon Brauner, and Byron Ehle, placed first at the University of Washington Speech Festival. A major honor of the year was the election of Highline into the National For' ensic League. This speech honorary is open to a limited group of high schools with outstanding debate records. This entitled Highline to attend the N.F.L. tournament at Port Angeles, where Stan May was named outstanding speaker in student congressg Margie Martini received third in girls extempg Lcon Brauner, third in interpretive actingg and Byron Ehle was chosen alternate to the N.F.L. student congress. In other activities this year the Debaters attended Seattle University. During the second visit to P.L.C., Dennis O'Brien, Sara McClure, and john Sherwood all placed in the finals of individual events. At the College of Puget Sound, jack took first in onefman debate while John Sherwood and jerry Sherrard, Sara McClure, and Patti Elrod took seconds in A and B divisions of university debate. The Key that won these many honors was forged on the anvil of work and inspiration. 88 Each Plays His Part DRAMA SHOPPE 0 Standing: Brauner, Marvin, jones, Berg, Berryhill, Annibal, jorgenson, Barnes, Bunten, Sherwood, Fuller, LeMieux. Seated: Giles, Cropley, Johnson, D. Carson, Arnston, LeVoie, Blount, Bell, Anderson, N. Carson, Finch. EEKING doors to stage success, this year's Drama Shoppe quested for perfection under Miss Dorothy Shiplcy's guidance. The members gained acting opportunif ties for themselves as well as providing entertainment for the school, possibly this fact accounted for this year's great membership. Heading the eager Thespians were Anne Berryhill, president, Leon Brauner, vicefpresidentg and business manager, Sigrid Arnston. . With actual experience testing their hrst door to fame, the early months of this school year found the hopeful actors and actresses in the auditorium. This door opened upon the cast of the All-School Play, as they rehearsed for their dramatic debut in Our Miss Brooks. And what a production that was! With Miss Shipley directing and Anne Berryhill depicting the leading character, the two evening audi' ences were thrilled by the talent displayed. Another method leading to better dramatic skill is watching the professional at work, so in the spring the club attended the Cirque Playhouse. There the members observed the professional work of the play, On Borrowed Time. For the nrst time in its history, Highline's Drama Shoppe entered an application to the National Thespian Society. Based on a point system, thirteen students were eligible for this nation-wide drama honorary. Being accepted as charter members, the group endeavored to reward the competence of performers with points toward membership. These were given for all events in which dramatic skill was displayed, the All'Pirates' Revue as well as school plays included. In personal recognition, the Drama Shoppe distinguished itself. During the spring, Highline was represented at many interscholastic competitions held on college cam- puses throughout the state. Geneva Topping and Leon Brauner won a collection of four third places, one first place, an excellent and a superior rating. This was accomplished in the face of spirited competition from other schools. Collaborating with the Debate Club, the aspiring dramatists took on the Speech Festival at the University of Washington in April. For overeall achievement in speak' ing, they took home the Gold Plaque, awarded by the University. A permanent gift, it rests with four others in the trophy case. 89 DRAMA SHOPPE OFFI CERS O Berryhill, president B ra u n e r , vice f president Arnston, business manager Miss Shipley, faculty adviser TRIPLE H 0 Back row: McNeil, Bowen, Darcy, Miner, Benson, Yantz, Iulson, Hartl, B.

Always busy, keeping order in the halls and checking for permits of the passersf by, they apprehended those who loitered along the way, straightened the path of wan' derers and directed visitors to their desired destinations. These services were under the direction of Miss Theda Lomax of the faculty and Girls' Club Chairman Karen Sholberg. One of the club's duties was keeping an accurate record of the hall patrol crif teria, but other services were connected with the cafeteria. Did some of the pupils forget to put their stools in place or to place their lunch bags in the proper contain- ers? They surely did. This was the time the cafeteria patrol took over and assisted the custodians in keeping the dining hall livable. The members of Triple H were among the busiest of the school's service clubs. Service with a Smile ONSISTING of thirtyffive juniors, this year's Ushers' Club followed the tradif tion of Service with a smile set by former members of the organization. Under the guidance of Miss Lydia Palmer, faculty adviser, the girls met once a week to receive assignments, and early in the year chose Jean Robey to represent them on Girls' Club Cabinet. Numerous duties demanded time and faithful service which were always given without complaint. Variety was the spice of life, for there was quite a difference between ushering sedate adults at the AllfPirates' Revue and trying to control enthusiastic students at assemblies and home football and basketball games. Earning a point for each assignment, the ten girls with the highest number of points received free tickets to the State Basketball Tournament to top off an un- usually successful year of service. - USHERS O Top: Macklin, Doerner, Smith , Hallenbeck, Armes, Parry, Lindeke, Ledyard, Hawton, Ellis, L a y m a n , johnson, Kuenstle, Robcy.

But when listening closely, a steady undercurrent of crunching and munching was heard from every corner of the grandstand. There sat the rapt spec' tators contented with an exciting game and plenty of hot salted popcorn. The young misses who practiced the shortest way to a man's heart by selling goodies at games were the members of the Venders' Club. Under the supervision of Mrs. Velma Mason of the foods department and with the assistance of P.T.A. representatives, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Doutrich and Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Bird, the girls kept the spectators satisfactorily Hlled. Two senior girls, Frances Morgan and Gail Nevison, took the laurels for superior selling besides being president and secretary of the club, respectively. Although it seems that popcorn, with 5,320 bags sold, was the most purchased delicacy, it ranked second to candy bars, which tallied up to 7,99?.. Packages of gum were the delight of 2,320 chewers and Life Savers numbered 1,020. All in all, the girls deserved a pat on the back for braving all types of weather to keep stomachs full, hearts warm, and Mr. Leonard Johnsons budget balanced. Jamboree . . .Tickets Here ID YOU enjoy the games and other activities S this year? If so, your enjoyment was no doubt greater because of the girls who so graciously ren' dered their services in selling programs and tickets. These sophomore girls made up a most active and useful club, the Ticketeers. Leading the group this 'year were Georgia McVey, president, JoAnn Julson, vice-president, Diane Gunsul, secretaryg and Kaye Comstock, treasurer. - Activity points for Torch credit were earned for duties performed, highlighted with a trip to the State Basketball Tournament at the University for M. the ten girls earning the most service points. Mr. Spencer Hungerford and Mr. Humbert Martin, facf ulty advisers, praised the girls for their excellent service to the school and community.

Meetings were scheduled by this small, congenial group for 8:15 a.m. in the school library. These early morning literary adventures were lcd by President Pat Wariield, VicefPresident Winnie Bullock, and SecretaryfTreasurer Helen Ormsbee. Capable faculty supervision was provided by Miss Claudia Nichols. Two social events sponsored by the club were the Christmas Tea and the field trip to see The Male Animal at the Penthouse Theater. Both held considerabde appeal for future Book Club members. Guides Along the Book Trail WAY from the noise and hustle and bustle of everyday school life was thc library. There, Miss Claudia Nichols, librarian, and her able staff presided over the quiet enjoyment of contented readers. Assisting Miss Nichols were the senior librarf ians, Winnie Bullock and Jon Adams. Sandra Salkeld, Patty Ranft, and Brenda Soderquist, art students, also helped to add a decorative touch to the room with seasonal displays and exhibits. In order to keep abreast of the times, Miss Nichols and the staff attended a con' ference during the year where they learned new ways to make the library more eflif cient and interesting. The many students who made use of its facilities proved the popularity of this ubookworms' hideaway. qsssw-Q LIBRARY STAFF 0 Standing QREARJ: Sawyer, Nelson, Adams, Blaker, Soderquist, Coder, Shaw' stad, Baxter, S h e r ni a n , Rickman, Martini, Orms' bee, Barnhart.

It is not a kindergarten, not a social club, nor a reform school. These features may exist, but they try to suppress them. Students go to these artists with features already solidly formed by nature. Not with the least notion of accepting others' ideas of beauty is in their heads. The job of the Make'up crew is to reform their notions and rearrange their faces. To do the job this year, a conservatice esti- mate of the rnake'up used was: ten tubes of soft paint, two yards of crepe hair, ten boxes of cake make'up, ten flats of lining colors, two containers of white mascara, twenty eyebrow pencils, five sponges, and literally tons of Kleen'ex and cold cream. The cost came to about forty dollars. These camouflage artists started getting up steam with practice sessions on Wed' nesdays after school. The group met under the stage in the little make'up room. For the beneht of the new and inexperienced members Qand the old forgetful onesj, they started out on basic juvenile make'up. Later, in preparation for their first big opera' tion, the school play, they took up old age. When that was over, the larger and more rambunctious Variety Hour followed, accompanied by a great demand for aid on all sides. Giving aid was the adviser, Miss Claudia Nichols, and helping her were Linda Wzilker, president, Gail Baldwin, secretaryg Joann Strauss, treasurer: and Laurie Slattum. vice'president. Since the Variety Hour cannot get much larger, there is no great future ex' sion for this club. All that remains is the hope that next year's crew will have as much fun doing the work as this year's had. 95 P-HIMA MAKE'UP CLUB 0 Miss Claudia Nichols, faculty adviser MAKE-UP CLUB 0 Standing: Paul Nelson, 0Ann Strauss udy .l .l Adams, Diana Gunsul.

Niclcel Gatberers at oon HE LAVENDER Hill Mob started the noon movie season off to a fine season. Its success, and that of the following ive, was due partly to the work of Mr. Walter Woodcock and his rightfhand man, Fred Bailey. The bright light that the Bell and Howell arc prof jector produces made it much easier to view the noon movies. One Ampro projector, two Bell and Howell projectors, and two R.C.A. projectors were used to project thirtyfseven film showings in one school day by the eighteen members of the projection crew. Educational and recreational movies proved to be the most com- monly shown, but noon movies were the most popular from the stu' dents' point of view. The Films shown in the classroom were bor' rowed from the Seattle Public Library, while the noon movies were rented from United World Films and Films Incorporated. Learning May Be Fun HILE winter winds howled outside, students were not as conf cerned about the weather as with their ability to finish their lunches before the noon movie began. Lunches hastily consumed, stu' dents surged to the auditorium. Raining nickels on hardfworking noon movie ushers, avid film fans waited impatiently for the daily installment of the current movie, Sponsored by the Pirates' Log Staff, the movies were well attended, and controlling the crowds proved to be a most exacting job. Capably carrying out this responsibility were Hve girls from fourth period study hall. Spending two lunch periods each day collecting nickels in the auditorium were Shirlcy Layman, Nancy Marcher, Judy Robey, Velma Thomas, and Joyce Van Rossen. Although their duties incluf ded seeing each installment twice the girls were always on duty. Their smiling service added greatly to the enjoyment of noon movies by students.

Key Workers Behind the Scenes FLASHING paint brushes, pounding hammers, and creaking flats-the stage crew was at work. Literally hundreds of hours were spent behind the scenes, especially in connection with the school play, the AllfPirates' Revue, and the various musical programs given during the year. These were not their only jobs, however, as the stage crew was always on hand for each and every assembly and movie held. For though this hard-working group received little public recognition, their reward was the satisfaction clearly shown by the students and faculty for a job well done. Counselors' Assistants on the Alert SSISTING the class counselors, Mrs. Spencer Hungerford, Mr. Neil McKay, and Miss Mary Durning, were the girls in C.A.S.H. Club. These alert helpers undertook such jobs as filng, checking on the abscntees, typing lists, and serving as secretaries. In addition to such mundane services, during the Yuletide season the girls decorated lroth ollices and gave a Christmas party in honor of the counselors. This year the personnel of the club was greatly increased by including all of the girls working in the attendance and main ollices. 97 THE IMPORTANT ONES 0 Seated: Bobby jean Bunten, Geneva Topping, Anne Berryhill.

Miss Broolcs Finds Romance ELVING into the romantic dilemma of a high school teacher, the annual All' School play teamed across the footlights to the delight of a capacity audience. Under the auspices of the Drama Shoppe, the lightfhearted threefact comedy reveals the efforts of Mix Connie Brooks to ensnare the affections of Coach Hugo Longacrc, and the parallel attempt by student jane to trap athlete Ted Wilder. Complications set in when Miss Brooks, portrayed by Anne Berryhill, much against her better judg- ment. an opposed faculty, and upset students, is suddenly placed in charge of the high school play. Against these obstacles, however, she brings the play through in fine style, Drama adviser, Miss Dorothy Shipley, was the guiding light behind the produc- tion. Conducting rehearsals. settling cast squabbles, and arranging lines were a few of the reasons why the cast voted Orchids to Miss Shipley. Students turned the characters of the play to realism. Playing opposite Miss Berryhill. John Sherwood became the strong and convincing coach, The younger pair, Jane and Ted, were brought to life by Nancy LaVoic and Leon Brauner.

A spoiled mama's girl was exactly the term for Jackie Bell in her role as Rhonda. Bobbie Jean Buntcn and Geneva Topping completed the fictitious faculty as Miss Finch and Miss Audubon. The role of Rhonda's mother was taken by Diana Carson, and the high school stu' dents were played by Janice Finch. Sigrid Arnston, Juanita Cropley. Jack Hill, Ann Johnson, Lola LeMieux, Darlene Gores, Nova Jones, and Bill Marvin. Adding atmosphere and character to the portrayal, the people behind the scenes did their bit. The Makefup Club, under the direction of Miss Claudia Nichols put in long hours of preparation. Untiring efforts of the Publicity Club brought the turn' out to above average. Miss Laurabelle Minter, faculty adviser. and Punky Esping oversaw the project of advertising. Costumes were supplied under Janice Finch's direction, and proper' ties were constructed by Tom Barnes, Ann Johnson, and Mike McDowell. Programs were designed by Sigrid Arnston and Nancy LaVoie. On the big night, Ticketeers Club passed them out, assisted by the ushers escorting the patrons to the correct seats. The final product was a result of the cooperation of all these organizations.

Music . . . the Key to Happiness ITH an accent on action and a keynote of fun, A Cappella Choir sang its way up the scale of musical activities at school and in the community. Led by the master musician, Mr. Harry Lemon, of the faculty, the path was familiar with new activities and goals highlighting the year. Aided by Diana Carson, accompanist, new and difficult music was soon mastered and another successful year began. Key members in the organization were Bob Precious, president, and Linda Euler, vice' president. Elected by choir members, Bob and Linda worked with other elected oiii- cers to insure accomplishment of goals. Excelling in the art of talking as well as singing, oihcers and committees kept Jan Rhoades busy with pen and paper, while Judy Blount kept the musical boat on an even financial keel. Pat Campbell and Roberta Joslyn found that keeping an accurate roll of ninety members was far from easy, but they soon mastered the task. Every robe must be exactly fourteen inches from the floor, was the strict rule which dominated the activities of wardrobe attend' ants Sylvia Atkinson and Lester Darling. Haunted by cries of I didn't get a copy and Where is folder number four? Joyce and Joanne Sheppard spent two psriods' each day Hling and numbering music. Preparing to make the first steps up the scale, the choir prepared This Is My Country and Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor for the rededication of Memorial Field and Veterans' Day Assembly. Climaxing actionfpacked November was a Thanks' giving program sponsored by the combined churches of the South End. As their con- bution to the service the choir sang Thanks Be To God and Beautiful Saviour. Christmas cheer blew in with the icy winds of December, bringing with it the choir's busiest season. Caroling parties took choir members from the CountyfCity Building, where they sang for a meeting of the King County P.T.A,, to the Zenith Old Folks' Home, Danish Home, and to the SeattlefTacoma Airport. Tableaux staged by theatre workshop members contributed greatly to the success of the Fred Waring cantata, Song of Christmas. At an evening program for the community, the choir and orchestra members combined efforts of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah 102 .. t ongs in Their Hearts WO OTHER musical groups which brought considerable enjoyment to the music lovers of the district were the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, Since both groups are under the direction of Mr. Harry Lemon, they appeared together quite frequently on entertainment programs. Memorable occasions included the refdedication of Memorial Field when they sang This Is My Country, and the Armistice Day Program with They Call This America. When the Yuletide season rolled around, the girls had the privilege of singing at the Burien Bank. In the spring, at the Wcsterri NMishington Music Meet at Sunnydale, they won an excellent rating for their rendition of Begin the Beguinef' Throughout the year, both groups had considerable training in classical, spiritual, and popular numbers. PASTELS O Kathy Estep Lillian Ervin Linda Euler, Gloria Spoklie Pat Parker Pastel Harmony ITTING the spotlight this past year was a new Highline quintette who called themselves the Pastels. They participated in many activities during the year. Besides appearing in the Variety Hour, they performed on television, which was an exciting experience for them. The Pastels sang for churches, club organizations, and school assemblies, as well as taking part in the annual music contest at Bremerton, where they receivel an excellent rating Although three of the girls are graduated this year, the group plans to continue their singing activities for which they are well known in the Highline area.

ENIOR BAND 0 Soon after the opening of school this year, Craig Gunsul was elected president of the sixty-piece senior band, thus becoming chief assistant to Mr. Howard Jakey, faculty director. With such cofworkers as Dick Haines, vice' president, Lois Hungerford, secretaryftreasurerg jim Stow, uniform custodian, and Janice McKail, librarian, the year marched on with the background music of Wc're Loyal to You. The iirst activity of the fall marching season was the Seattle Times' football clinic held at the University of Washington. Next followed the home football games. Durf ing these games the band provided entertainment, as well as a few laughs. They created formations which portrayed different instruments, the big H, and many other unique ideas. All of these performances required hours of practice and cooperation which, when combined, provided Highline with one of the best marching bands. Turning in an excellent performance, the concert band presented their annual Winter Band Concert. This year's concert theme was Music From Past to Pres' ent. Soloists for the program were Danny Clemens, trombonistg Mike Sheppard, clarinetistg and Ralph Bandle, Stuart Plumb, and Ron Hagen, trombone trio. Student conductor Lauren jakey conducted two numbers. The first half of the program was devoted entirely to numbers written before the turn of the century. After three num' bers by the Pep Band, the concert band then progressed to more modern numbers. Typical of these was The Triumphal March taken from the movie Quo Vadisf' As this year's Pirates' Log went to press, the band was again planning another col' orful trip to Wenatchee. Leading the spring edition of the marching band will be Diana Ward, head majoretteg Lauren Jakey, drum major: and Billie Lee Westcott, mascot. 104 a d held Communion with the sou . ENIOR ORCHESTRA 0 One of the Hnest musical organizations at Highline this year was the fortyfseven piece senior orchestra. This year's group not only played beautiful music for concerts, but when springtime and the marching season came around these active musicians became Highline's drum corps. The idea of a drum corps made up of former members of the string instrument group proved un' usually successful during the football season. The first appearance of the full orchestra was at the Thanksgiving Day assembly, followed by the Christmas concert. With the Christmas concert over, preparations were promptly begun for the Western Washington Music Meet convening at Bremf erton in February. Those who were rated superior in the solo competition were: Lauren jakey, Lois Hungerford, Mike Sheppard, Darryl johnson, Bob Eyler, and Jim Stow. Also receiving a superior rating was Highline's outstanding string quartet. A few weeks after this, thc orchestra received a superior rating in the orchestra contest held at Highline. One of the most important activities of the year was the AllfNorthwest meeting held at Eugene, Oregon. Highline was proud to be represented by Lauren jakey, Joanne Jones, Dan Clemens, Gloria Spoklie, Diane Mclvlahon, and Darryl Johnson. Also invited to this honored event was the string quartet. Working closely with Mr. Howard Jakey were President Lauren jakeyg Vice' president Carolyn Smith, and Secretary Ann Teschner. Diane McMahon held the office of librarian, while Dean johnson was in charge of the white dinner jackets. There were several other appearances, including an assembly at Puget Sound Jun' ior High School in December and another at Sylvester Junior High School in .lanuf ary. Late in the spring came the last concert, one of the highlights of the year. With the last concert over, the orchestra closed the activities of a happy year by playing for the baccalaureate services.

This being the first game of the season, although not a conference tilt, the Highline Pirates showed a lack of experif ence when they were defeated by the Prepsters. The outstanding player for that game was without a doubt .lerry Jackson, who put up a wonderful def fensive job. The final score was Seattle Prep 25, Highline 6, with .lim Eklund being the sole Pirate to hit paydirt. BUCS VICTORIOUS OVER HORNETS The Pirates opened their conference play against the Enumclaw Hornets. Suffering from a nonfconf ference defeat, the Pirates were seeking vengeance as they traveled to Enumclaw. Spearheading the victory over Enumclaw was mainly the task of co- captain Jim Eklund.

With the score Puyallup 13, Highline O, at the half, the Pirates came out a firedfup ball club. Dick Binford lcd in the scoring department as he rallied twice. The final score was Puyallup 13, Highline 13. INDIANS, PIRATES GO SCORELESS As the Pirates had their annual tilt with Renton the high school football career of some 19 seniors was drawing to a close.

RIMMING the loop champion Puyallup Vik- ings, the next to the last game of the season, the Pirate cagers closed a rather unpredictable year. This contest. along with the early thumping of their arch rival, Renton, for the first time since 1951, highlighted the season. On a given night the Bucs proved they could down any club in the league. OFF TO A SLOW START Their initial contest with the Bremerton Wild- cats ended rather disastrously. The final count was 77 to 37. Following this, the Bucs traveled to Puy' allup for their league opener. There, the champion Vikings won the first of their 14 victories, 60 to 48. The Pirates lost three more: KentfMeridian, 45 to 42g Yakima, 61 to 605 and Wapato, 66 to 38- hefore they notched their first win at the expense of the hapless Clover Park Warriors, 61 to 49. Owen jacksoifs 22 points led the scoring. They dropped a couple of close ones: the fist to Enum- claw, 39 to 35, hitting only one of 11 charity tossesg and the second to Bellevue in a non-league tilt, 53 to 52, with Bob Smither pouring through 18 points. Auhurn tripped up the Bucs, 55 to 41, and the Franklin-Pierce Cardinals stopped the Pirates, 49 to 38. PIRATES CLEAN INDIANS Next, the Renton Indians invaded the Pirates' home floor and went away with one more defeat on their record hy thc count of 48 to 39.

Going into the last half of the season the tahles turned. Venturing to Renton, the Bucs went down to defeat 44 to 35, and at Sumner by a 74 to 62 verdict. Then for the second time, the Pirates fell before the Auburn Trojans. This defeat was on their home floor by only an eightfpoint margin, 68 to 60. In three of the next four hall games the Pirates came out on top. First in a home contest, the Bucs drop' ped the FrankIin'Pierce Cardinals, 57 to 46. Lead' ing the Pirate scoring were jerry Long with 22 points and Bob Smither with 16. Action then moved to Enumclaw where the Hornets again derailed the Bucs, 53 to 34. Owen Jackson accounted for 18 tallies. VIKINGS ARE DEFEATED Then came the high point of the season. Puyf allup came into the contest with an impressive rec' ord of 14 wins and only one defeat. But the Pi' rates upset the picture with a 49 to 42 victory over the Vikings. Owen jackson hit 8 for 8 from the charity line and added four field goals for 16 points. Right behind jackson was junior center, Bob Smither, hitting for I4 to assist Jackson in the scoring attack of the Bucs. In the last contest of the schedule, the Pirates invaded KcntfMeridian only to lose in overtime, 46 to 44. Busy Season for B Squad IMING for berths on the varsity basketball squad, the B squad of this year overcame a slow start and finished with an ll win and 7 loss season. Mac Malone's boys displayed their best in the Winthrop game. Playing the A team of that school, they fought against great odds and the game ended with the Pirates showing a deficit of only two points, 51-49. Boys showing greatest promise of allfround abil' ity were Fromm, Kathey, Graham, Walstad, and Bean. Coach Malone has high hopes for their ad' vancement.

Reserve Gridders Show Strength LIMAXING the season with four wins, two losses, and one tie record, the sophomore football team proved reasonably formidable. Every night the squad could be heard as they diligently turned out on the practice field under the coaching of Mr. Charles Brigham. Those boys who showed excellent possibilities for varsity ball were Stanley, Byquist, Thornton, Walsted, Brown, Bible, Butler, Dethlefs, Hull, Kane, Pittis, and Young. The varsity can be assured of great gridiron power coming out of the Class of '57.

Kim captured fourth place among the breaststrokers in the state meet just six-tenths of a second behind the third place winner. Third place in diving in the state meet was won by jerry Colgan. In the Northern Division Championships, the forefrunner to the state meet, Bill Ahrens and John Wiltse, along with Klose and Colgan, paddled and dived their way to places among the top six in each event. From December first through March fifteenth, Coach Earl McKinney spent many hours at the Y.M.C,A. pool assisting the boys in the improvement of their various strokes and dives. The boys turned out twice weekly in the Seattle Y.M.C.A. pool, as Highline does not have a pool of its own. The training was rigorous and the ref wards were few, but the boys really went at it. Each training session began with a free play period in which the boys amused themselves by ducking one another and playing water horse. Next on the agenda was a warm'up. This meant swimming the length of the pool over and over again or diving until the movement became tiresome. Then the evening was topped off with time trials and relay races. About 10:30 the boys returned home, where, too weary for homework or TV, they fell into their beds. Kim Klose, the team's captain, stroked his way to the honor of being the fastest breaststroker in Highline's swimming history. This year the squad was composed en' tirely of sophomores and juniors so the future of the swim team looks much brighter. 119 SENIORS IN TRACK O Row 3: Crump, Hudgins, Annear, Nelson, Buerstatte.

Over the Bar to Victory ITH three lettermen, Bill Rich, George Billings, and Don Worrall, returning from the '54 state meet, the Highline cindermen entered the '55 track season with high hopes. In their third meet, a triangular meet with Puyallup and Auburn, the Pirates won by twenty points on the strength of Don Worrall's firsts in the pole vault and low hurdles. George Billings copped first in the high jump and second in the pole vault. Chuck Heino, jerry Sherrard, and Chuck Witham placed one, two, three, respectively, in the half mile. A week after the Pirates had captured fifth place in the Highline relays, Billings broke the Kent-Meridian Held record in the pole vault by topping twelve feetfone inch. However, seven days later the Renton stadium pole vault was smashed as Worrall glided up and over the bar at a height of twelve feetfthree inches. 120 15' ,,,,Q:f.:f, eggs! ,A ovices in Track NDERCLASSMEN formed the nu- cleus of the track squad and were not to be outdone by their older and more ex- perienced cohorts.

With live lettermen returning to the team, the competition for the league chamf pionship seemed close. Even before the first match the golfers were battling among themselves for top spot. The first league match with Auburn rolled around on April 25, when the Pirates topped the contenders, l2f3. In the next matches, Renton and Enumclaw fell before the long driving school amateurs, but Clover Park, the only other team close to Highline, held its own and downed the Pirates, 81f2f41A. As the Pirates' Log went to press, Ted Natf was holding down the top position, followed closely by Norman Burns, Dick Milligan, Tom Barnes, Larry Proctor, and Bob Cong' don.

To Be or ot To ITH the coming of spring, the Hrst signs of baseball were everywhere. Stiff arms were be' ing limbered up, and the dust blown off the bats, balls, and gloves. A definite atmosphere of baseball was in the air when the Pirates hit the practice field every night after school. Teamwork could well be the cause of the successful season the boys have had so far. BUCS OFF TO GOOD START As the Pirates' Log goes to press, the Pirates look like a team of championship making. As of now, the Bucs have an eight win, no loss record. Thcy have defeated, in practice games, such teams as Seattle Prep, 12 to 3, and 9 to 73 O'Dea, 3 to 2g Kent'Meridian, 14 to 0 and 2 to lg and Franklin' Pierce, 5 to O. 122 Be . . . C ampions PIRATES DEFEAT HORNETS, INDIANS Opening their league play, the Pirates defeated the Hornets from Enumclaw. Sparked by the hitting of jim Eklund, Ten Hanson, and Dick Binford, the team rolled up seven runs to the Hornets' six. The second league tilt proved to be one of excite' ment and recordfbreaking thrills. Jerry jackson went to the mound for the Bucs as the Indians invaded the Highline squad. The final score showed the Pi- rates on top of an 8 to O victory. Not only did jerry Jackson notch up a ball game to his credit, but he pitched the first notfhit, no-run game in the history of Highline. PIRATES PROVE STRONG Behind the plate this season was Dick Binford, who, with his hard hitting, maintained the clean-up spot in the batting order. At the time the yearbook went to press, he held the top spot in the runs' battedfinfdcpartment by knocking fourteen runs home. The first base sack was tied down by south' paw Al Bahrenburg. At the keystone sack, sophof more Rich Stanley stood predominant. Playing the shortstop hole between second and third was Glenn Oishi, while holding the hot corner of the diamond at third was Jim Eklund. Skip DePhelps served as an auxiliary infielder. Turning out for the outfield this year were a number of boys, and it was hard to discriminate the starters from those who also played. Those turning out for the outHeld were Pete Johnson, Jim Graham, Jerry Long, Ten Hanson, Charles Schneider, and Lee Wright.

BUCS LOOK CHAMPIONSHIP-BOUND Through teamwork the Pirates proved to every' one that their club was one capable of taking a championship. The big one with Clover Park was yet to come as this was written, but it was sure that the Bucs would not lose without putting up a fight.

COACH DON AMUNDSON Spring and the Courtin' Game ERALDING the coming spring was the pounding of tennis shoes on concrete and the swish of the tennis racket. Under the guiding hand of Coach Don Amundf son, the team defeated league opponents Clover Park, Sumner, Puyallup, :md Kent' Meridian, Nonfleague opponents falling under the Pirate netmen's might were Vashon, Lake-Washingtoii, and Foster. Only three opponents stood between Highline and the tennis championship, but one of these was mighty Enumclaw which just about has a monopoly on the championship trophy. The Pirate netmen stood undaunted in the face of the tennis terror from the South, and as the yearbook went to press were Hrmly resolved to bring home the championship. Leading the Pirates were Dave McElroy, boys' singles, Jeb Baldi and Dave Rush, boys' doubles, Sassie Petellin, girls' singles, Ann Owens and Phyllis Dobbins, girls' doubles, and Craig Gunsul and Joan Wood, mixed doubles. These team members were hard put to defend their position with Bill Pike, Phil Iviathison, Rolf Fromm, and Darlene Cores continually pressing for a spot on the team.

Striving to keep the students and team in high spirit the staff planned a colorful year Hlled with Pirate pep and loyalty. Marching for the Apple Blossom Festival in Wenzitchee, and for the Portland Rose Parade, they went into action early in the spring of '54. In the fall they attended the Yell and Song Conference at Auburn with the purpose of helping stall members with their problems and promoting good sportsmanship and better relations between schools. Pep assemblies throughout the football, basketball and baseball seasons were the means by which the rooters showed continued interest in their teams and assured the Hghting Pirates that the school was back of them one' hundred per cent. Ginger Freeze, queen of Song Stall, led her princesses-janet Rhoades. Sylvia Atkinson, and Verna Smalley, in their new uniforms of purple and gold. Marian Bcrgesen, queen of Yell Stall, led her court-Carolyn Prosser, Gene Bingham, Rita Berg. and Bob Doerllinger. Mrs. Helen McConkey acted as faculty adviser. IZ?

Points were given for attendance and each girl had an opportunity to work for a letter. It was the aim of H.G.A.A. to promote sports and good sportsman- ship and to plan for the girls an interesting and varied athletic program, H.G.A.A. was under the able direction of Miss Minnie Emry. BASKETBALL 9 With the coming of the month of January, many a shout could be heard from with' in the walls of the girls' gym. During this time those turning out were constantly practicing on the maple court. Six or eight teams brought to a climax the basketball season in tournament play. VOLLEYBALL 0 Competition ran high as the volleyball season opened. All thc classes were well represented with the seniors stepping out in front, The class of 55 gained themselves well deserved honors as they cleaned the combined junior and sophomore volleyball team, 23-28.

This sport, badminton, was well received by the enthusiastic participants. With the choosing of part' ners the tournament was soon under way. As it was stated by Miss Emry, It was hard to reach the top and even harder to stay there. BOWLING 9 With the participation of between 50 to 100 girls, the bowling season was off to a rolling start. Competition proved stiff, and at times the pins seemed immovable. As the teams brought the season to a climax, it was generally accepted that it was a tremendous success. BASEBALL 9 As the annual goes to press, the shouts can be heard from the distant Memorial Field by the girls who swing the hickory sticks. Although competition has not oilicially begun, skill and team' work have been shown in the few brief turnouts. When the baseball equipment is put away, the girls' intrafmural activity program will be drawn to a close. BASKETBALL 0 Tap Right: Salkeld, C:.ehota . McLean, Sanders, Lindberg.
