a Sometimes we may forget that in a school like ours, a great deal of office work is necessary. Miss Davis, ably assisted by this staff of girls, keeps things ‘running smoothly” in an efficient and friendly manner. Mr. John T. Jensen, vice principal, came to us this year after having served in the United States Army as a Captain in the Field Artillery. We wel- come him to Hilhi. Miss Esther Willers, Dean of Girls, is serving her first year at Hillsboro. Her friendly interest in student activities, and her eagerness to work prompt us to say heartily, “We are happy to have you with us!”’ 4 = a = -

A school year is made up of many things — classes, games, .competition, friendships, fun and club work — and the wise student shares in all of these. It is a constant goal of our school to give a sound fundamental education while encour- aging participation in a varied program of activities. The realization of this goal needs your cooperation. The Class of 1947 contains many worthy students whom we shall miss next year; the classes of 1948, 1949 and 1950 will fill their places. This is education ; this is life. To the underclassmen I wish a busy and happy vacation ; to the seniors a satisfying and happy future. JOHN R. COX. M. P. CADY, MRS. WILMA MERRILL, C. G. BECKEN J. W. KAMNA, JOHN GATES, W. H. McNAY. The members of this group, by giving freely of their time and their abilities, are helping to continue the proud American tradition of education for all. F. E. ROWELL L. J. MERRILL L. W. GUILD N. G.

MERTON SAHNOW, Vice-president “‘Gentleman Jim”’ So-long... Students — Valuing your friendships above all that I have gained from my associa- tion with Hilhi, I find, as graduation nears, the prospect of leaving is not as pleasant as once imagined. For enduring memories of good times, happy experiences, and wonderful pals — for all these things, thank you. It is my earnest hope that your remaining years in high school will bring the most possible happiness and success. Faculty — Without the co-operation, understanding and ready assistance of you teachers and administrators, my years would not have been so gratifying. It is with reluctance that I leave your guidance. Hilhi — The hours spent in your classrooms will remain always in my memory. Long may your halls echo with the footsteps of such students as these four years have known. With the fervent wish that you will ever function in the democratic way and in the firm belief that you will support America’s every move toward world peace, I bid you good-bye. JERRY TISDALE, Student Body President. The student council has had a busy year, and it has accomplished much that is good. The need for a revision of the constitution has been felt for a number of years, and the mak- ing of that revision is perhaps the most im- portant achievement of the present council. Among still other accomplishments, this group supervised the purchasing of a new radio-phonograph, instituted a new system of petitioning for dances and game-conces- sions, and set up a new bulletin board that is marked daily to show dates and places for the scheduled meetings of the various clubs. Thanks to the C for a big job well done! y) t LUCY MANN, Treasurer “Where mann’s money goes.”’
