J f l .t i LZ if B For the first time in several years, the yearbook staff sponsored a yearbook dance and queen. In the fall when subscriptions were bought for the yearbook, students were urged to buy a yearbook not only for the enioyment it would give them now and in the fu- ture but also to help their class be eligible to sponsor a candidate for Yearbook Queen of l964. Percentages were kept in the English and govern- ment classes as to how many students had purchased a yearbook. When the sales had ended all senior gov- ernment classes and a sophomore and iunior English class were eligible to sponsor candidates for queen. Queen candidates were nominated from all five classes. Included on the final ballot were Barbara Bledsoe, senior, Parn Tyler, iunior, and Linda Greene, sophomore. In February students who purchased a yearbook voted for the candidate of their choice. Yearbooks were distributed to the students of High- land at the informal yearbook dance held the latter part of May. Students received their yearbooks after the Yearbook Queen of T964 was revealed. Attention of students was drawn toward three lovely girls as it was announced that Barbara Bledsoe had been selected to reign as queen. Immediately the shroud of secrecy was broken by the glowing, radiant expression upon her face. Included in the queen's royal court was Pam Tyler end Linda Greene.

Foreign Student Adjusts to New Life in America Giorgio Moratto, Highland's second foreign ex- change student, liked all of his classes at Highland and was impressed by the high intelligence of the students. At first he found the changing of classes very confusing and rushed. Students and teachers were entertained several times by Giogio's harmonica playing. His other talents include fencing, he was outstanding at this sport in his native school of Manfalcone in Northern Italy. One of Giorgio Moratto's maior problems when he arrived at Highland on September lO, 1963, was understanding the English language. As he gained experience in speaking and listening to English this difficulty was overcome by Giorgio's enthusiasm to learn and be accepted. Giorgio participated in Latin Club activities and helped decorate the Latin Club float for the Home- coming parade. Linguist Moratto, along with Latin, English, and Italian, also speaks French. During his stay in the United States, Giogio Moratto lived with the James Biddle family. They helped him with the problems he encountered and Giorgio discov- ered that family life in the United States was much the same as he had been accustomed to in Italy. if iw ' .ln Y .mm James Biddle family accompanied by Mr. Everett Green, counselor at Highland, greets Giorgio Moratto to the American way of life.
