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.
