PRINCIPAL VICE-PRINCIPAL A study of the lives of the pioneers of this section reveals a quality somewhat lacking in the social world of our time. In a secluded corner of the country, with no press to record their deeds, they underwent hard- ships and risked their lives to better conditions for us. They were apparently willing to toil for the knowledge of work well done. The establishment of several places of worship as a first step in building a new community indicated a willingness to answer to a higher control than that of the social group. May we be guided by their example and work, not for grades or perfect attendance or with an ear to criti- cism or commendation of our fellows, but rather in the knowledge that the heritage received from them car- ries with it an obligation to answer to our own con- sciences, only, for a quality of service to others which will add to this heritage as we pass it on to unborn generations. Q 744- Pioneers! You men and women of vision with the daring and industry, the fortitude and endurance to translate that vision into living reality. We salute you. For you the better world was on the make and it is your glory that you enrolled yourselves among the makers. We, too, would join your band. Much has been done. Much remains to do. The dawn of a new day faces us. What is ahead if we are true to our heritage and loyal to your hopes? West Seattle High is a school in which every pupil and teacher is working with and for every other teacher and pupil for the common goodg a school in which fric- tion and ill feeling and all the multitudinous wastes of energy and time and materials are eliminated, a school in which boys and girls are trained in those ways of living that mean fulfillment and happiness, a school in which is built a community of highminded, farseeing, public-spirited individuals, equipped with everything needed for fine, full, free and purposeful living. This is our goal. May every West Seattle High School stu- dent do his share in bringing this about. Onward!

ILASSIES In the building of a city, just as in the building of our education, we have grown matured with years. When we entered as freshmen, we were like the first settlers at A lki, who laid the foundation of Seattle with crude implements in a vast, unknown world, calling this first location N ew York Alki or New York Bye and Bye, and dream- ing of the time when the tiny settlement would become a city. Just as our Sophomores were beginning to broaden their horizons, they, too, at Alki looked toward the future, realizing the need of a deep harbor. Canoeing across the bay, they sounded Smithis cove with a horse shoe and a clothes line and found the harbor they de- sired. Soon a new settlement took shape, adoptin g the name of Chief Sealth for its own. Henry Yesler built a saw mill, with a harsh whistle, for this new enterprise. The village was building then, preparing for a third era of growth and importance to the state and nation. As the Juniors awoke to a sense of responsibility, so the pioneers reached out to link the nation with Seattle. I n the legislature S eattle's pioneers served the territory, they built roads over the mountains, and James J. Hill here found a terminal for the Great Northern Railway. And now Seattle belongs to the world. Her ships sail to distant lands, her people are building, educating, advancing all over the world. The pioneers' New York Alki has been realized, and we who are going from our school into the world may help carry on the task so bravely begun by S eattle,s pioneers.
