PRINCIPAL JOHN R. COX The school year of 1948-49 has been one of the most successful years Hilhi has ever had in its competitive ac- tivities. In athletics our teams have been very successful. Our football team competed in the quarter finals but was eliminated from the State play-offs. The basketball team won the District tournament and advanced to the semi- finals in the State tournament, At the present time our track and baseball teams have launched a successful season. The Speech and Debate teams have been very successful in the invitational tournaments held at Willamette, Pacific, and Linfield Colleges. It is the first time in the history of Hilhi our debate team has won a State champion- ship. We can be justly proud of our Music and Dramatic productions, as each performance has been presented be- fore a large appreciative audience. The Music department will end the year by being host to the District Music Festival this spring. To the underclassmen I wish a busy and happy vacation. When you return to school next fall, you will find many new improvements in the buildings. The addition will be completed as will the new gymnasium. The add- ing of the new units will make your school facilities as good as any in the State.

Student Body Officers Fellow students, With the end of another term we find that once again a class of seniors takes the road of life away from the home which they have known for four years. To you fellow graduates I sincerely wish the best of luck and success to whatever future endeavors you may strive for. With those remaining we leave a cherished possession, the foundation of the knowledge and the belief that with co-opera- tion and understanding, Hilhi can continue to keep its records ot achievements varied and high. It is well that on our way we pause and give thanks to the administration and faculty whose faithful and unselfish devo- tion have given to all something which is never lost—fellowship —guidance and a firm education. With these thoughts and a little reminder that what you care to be, you are now becoming. I bid you good-by and lots of luck. DICK GUILLORY Billie Gottlieb Secretary Gloria Beem Treasurer Dick Guillory President Ad Rutschman Vice-President

on Hl Administrators Big business in Hilhi is controlled by our five-man school board. The stock market at Hilhi has really gone skyward with the new building but all this was obtained only by the smart adjusting and investing of this said board. Just for the records Mrs. Read records all goings on. Monkey business in the school is handled by two very capable ad- ministrators—Mr. Jensen, who checks up on all necessities, and Miss Will- ers, who just checks up and gives her worthwhile advice.
