They were willing to listen and evaluate individual problems, help map further educational courses, and open many avenues to the students. Mr. Bert Williams, sophomore counselor, introduced students to the many classes available to them for suc- cess in high school. The junior counselor, Mr. Michael Weatherbie, saw to it that the juniors began planning their future and fulfilling needed requirements for graduation. Mr. Ken Crossman and Mrs. Mary Wining, senior counselors, acquainted the senior class with requirements for college, and guided vocationally inclined students to satisfying occupations. Because of the nature of their work, the efforts of the counselors reached far beyond high school, into the lives of each individual they guided.

Big three share responsibilities Each year the Principal writes an inspirational mes- sage for the Pirates' Log. As I have glanced back through the last 48 issues, l have noticed a reoccurrence of certain concerns that each Principal has had. ln each message l noticed terms such as, Heritage, National Emergency, Future, War, Challenge, Individual, and Understanding As you read this, you might ask your- self, Have things really changed over 40 years? Back in 1937, Nlr. L. D. Baker emphasized heritage and personal development for the betterment of all. ln 1942, during World War ll, lVlr. Leonard johnson made the comment, The final value will not be measured in dollars and cents, but the vital issues that affect your community and country. ln 1947 Mr. johnson stressed Reconstruction ln 1962 Robert Sealey, now Dr. Robert Sealey, Superintendent of Highline Schools, stated that never before has there been such a challenge as we face today- lVlan understanding man. lVly predecessor, lVlr. Glen Odman stated, Individual- ism is preserved and dignified only as one blends his life with others. There is no joy in being an island. Look at the people in our school and community, read the newspapers, watch T.V., see the economic and political strife that is going on in the world today and the problems we face today have a familiar ring. We still must dedicate ourselves to make this world a better place for all mankind to live. Ken Teller 16 M Mr. Ken Teller, principal Mr. David Alfred, vice-principal lVlr.

sn xt 4 -...KR I SA Behind the scenes: Dedicated service Behind the scenes at Highline there is a crew of people dedicated to keeping the school running effi- ciently. ln the office, Mrs. lrene ludish and Mrs. Dena Pounds keep on their toes with correspondence and other business. Mrs. Lillian Mickelson and Mrs. Patricia Esterbrook dealt with the attendance office and all the tedious tasks that go with keeping efficient attend- ance records. Registrar Mrs. Phyllis Drake greets new students and keeps the credit records straight. School nurse, Mrs. Wilda McOmbre was here on Tuesdays and Fridays keeping the students medical files up to date. Miss Carol Nightingale heads the efficient library crew always ready to assist students and faculty with research. Assistant librarian Miss Lillian Houston also specializes in the new career information room. Mrs. Dorothy Hauberg and Mrs. Pat Helm are able assistants. Another added area, located in the library, was the resource center, overseen by Mrs. Pat Englund. Here students were given battery tests to find out where they stood on the academic level. Students got individual attention where they felt it was needed. lt was a relaxed atmosphere and students were free to go back to their everyday school life whenever they wanted. The career center was another new feature this year. Mrs. Patti Anderson is located in the registrar's office to help students plan their careers or aid with choosing a college to suit individual needs. Many students found this to be a very valuable service. She had information and pamphlets, and books for every kind of career imaginable. 18 Miss Carol Nightengale Mrs. Patricia Englund Mrs. Lillian Houston Mrs. lanelle McGee Mrs. Patricia Anderson
