DEAN SABEY RICH SABOE JULIE WISEMAN TOWNLEY SIIVIONS President. Vice-President Secretary Treasurer PLANNING FOR PROGRESS BEGINNING TRAINING for their offices, the student body officers attended the last few meetings of the 1961 Board of Control to get ideas which would carry over into this year. With this background, Dean guided this year's Board in its weekly meetings, which covered discussions and decisions on a broad spectrum of subjects. The Boys' and Girls' Club presi- dents, editors of the High Lines and Pirates Log, and class presidents joined the student body officers, business managers and yell and song queens at the beginning of this year to round out the Board. Promotion of student body unity was the obj ect of the Board of Control, an aim much needed to tie together the highly individualistic group of students. Though the Board worked quietly, often without recognition, its operations were felt throughout the year as the quasi-governing force of the school. Although they had negligible power, the Board members repre- sented the center of the most nearly democratic group in the schoolg the practice they obtained in Board meetings and Representative Assembly meetings will lead to a greater understanding of the workings of a demo- cratic system. In accordance with a long-standing tradition, a Halloween clean-up crew was organized just before the window-waxing day. Twenty-five loyal students, including four Board members, braved the early morning cold to scour all the windows of the business establishments within a two mile radius.

THEY RATE APPLAUSE I , iii OFFICE FORCE O Mrs. Lois Taylor, Mrs. Orpha Hewitt, Mrs. Lilly Anderson, Mrs. Lil- ian Mickelson. OFFICE FORCE o PURPLE AND GOLD, FIGHT! FIGHT! Brightly attired in their color- fully striped sweaters, Mrs. Lilly Anderson and her capable assistants, Mrs. Lois Taylor, Mrs. Lillian Mickelson and Mrs. Orpha Hewitt showed their support for the- Pirate team on each game day. On game days, or any day, these willing workers proved their dedication by arranging the curriculum for Highline students. Labors which these ladies performed with a smile included re- cording grades, taking attendance, typing college applications, and generally helping whenever needed. P.T.A. c VICTORY IS OUR CRY! Heading this year's list of successful accomplishments was the school levy which passed in the November election, providing Highline District schools with neces- sary funds. Next in line came the Sophomore and Senior Parent Nights. A benefit program for the P.T.A. Scholarship Fund was the final triumph. A Night with the Plaidsmenf' featuring four Highline grads, will long be remembered. SURPRISE I Mrs. Lilly An derson. V P.T.A.

BOARD OF CONTROL O Stavzcling: Darland, Aickin, Mr. Lowell Wig'gins, Simons, Mr. Robert Sealey, Collette, Picou, Sabey. Seated: Saboe, F. Kesler, Wiseman, Duncan, Peter- son, Curry, Schieber, G. Kesler. A major argument in the middle of the yearwas about proper attire for the Prom, as Well as sophomore attendance. Although the final decision rested with an inter-school group, the president carried the opinion of the Board to the group and reported the results to the Prom committee. The sophomores made other arrangements for the night of the Prom. In a Representative Assembly meeting, James Judd, a third period representative, engineered the passage of a motion forming a good and Welfare committee. Through the year this committee found students who were absent from school for long periods of time due to injury or prolonged illness. In order to help these students feel closer to the school during their absence, the committee kept them posted on school happenings and func- tions. It is to be hoped that the committee members next year do as fine a job as has been done this year. Outdated passages in the student body constitution necessitated the formation of a committee to bring the document up to date and to suggest revisions. After nearly two months of Work, a revised constitution Was found in the files, so the committee made the few remaining revisions. In accordance with one of the constitutional revisions, the juniors elected to student body oiiices took over complete control from their senior predecessors at the beginning of the fourth quarter. In this Way they gained the experience they will need to lead the student body next year as success- fully as this year's officers have done this year.
