The Thunderword has had nwny students come to inquire as to what tribute will be paidto the man who has been with Highline since its inception. They and the staff of the Thundcr- word wish to extend to the family of Mr. McAlexander their sincere sympathy on the loss of a loved one. 1 interviewed Mr. McAlexander last year when I was a report- er on the staff. I was impressed with his deep interest in Highline, its students and the youth of today in general. From his well kept files, he showed me the work of many students, which he looked on with pride. He seemedto glory in their accomplishments. He also had a lot of faith in the young. He felt ?hat they were a greatbunch, and was enthusiastic on what they would do when they became the adults of the world. He has now left the world to them. Tbe Thanderwod received. aletter from Mr. McAlexander during fall quarter, which was never published. We wish to publish it now. It read: To: Solveig, Miss, Mrs., or Mister, as the case may be.

Memory of ‘Mr. Mac’ In the past, therepresentatives for the 57,000 HCCstudents have been chosen by anywhere from 90 to 300 students.
