The hands of stagecraft students have been busy since the earthquake and fire. Perhaps the most worthwhile use ot that terminal part ot the arm known as the hand is that of showing friendship. ln our age of fast living and momentous, uncertain world situ- ations, the simple act of grasping a fellow man's hand in friendship and good will may have a lasting effect in the lives of many. Friendliness and the ability to get along with people can be the most important qualities we possess or develop as we go through school and into our lives in the world out- side-a world which might be at peace if there were more displays of amiability and un- derstanding. Yes, hands are vital in our lives, and the uses to which we choose to put theme can create a superbly different and better world, free of human strife, and full of progress and happiness. With this thought, read your 1951 VIKING. -Viking Staff.

The entrance to Puyallup High School reminds students that Labor Conquers All. As the 1951 VIKING staff began forming plans for this yearbook, the idea of using hands as the theme seemed strikingly appropriate. For in life-school and otherwise-hands in their many activities play an extremely important and necessary role. Hands, defined in the dictionary as grasping organs, may be thought of as transformers. They, along with our mouths, are the means by which our brains' thoughts and impulses are transformed into action. The results of these actions are in concrete, tangible form, to be seen, felt, or heard. Here at Puyallup High School the uses of hands are numerous and prominent. With their hands our athletes accomplish a large portion of their feats of skill and prowess. Hands help us all with our education-writing our lessons, recording our thoughts, turning pages in books of knowledge, playing musical instruments, sewing, cooking, and handling the tools with which various articles of wood and metal are fashioned. No better example of hard working hands during the past year were those of our stage crew starting from scratch as they completely re-equipped the new stage.
