Kris Dove, A11-American Girl A romantic wintry evening accented the first annual Ceilyh Festival held on March 14, 1969. The name Ceilyh Festival meaning Scottish Festival was chosen by the Student Government to be the name of the yearly semi-formal dance. The dance was held from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. at the Senior Citizens Com- munity Center, where the students were provided with ample room for dancing and a cozy fire in the lounge. A committee chosen from Student Council and Student Government decorated the Center with colorful balloons attached to the ceiling, butterflies on the walls, and candles on the tables which were donated by the Center. Party sandwiches and punch were served continuously during the dance. The Class Museum, a local pop group, provided the entertainment for the event. At 9:30, Mary Beth Hayes, 1969 Yearbook editor, crowned the vivacious senior, Kris Dove. As Miss Highlander, Kris reigned with Miss Heather, over the Ceilyh Festi- Student Covemment members decorate for Ceilyh Festival. , ' val. Kris was escorted by senior Allan Yust. I8

Talented students Contribute One of the goals of Highland's student body was to acquire the ability to accept responsibility and function independently. Convocations during the 1968-1969 school year exemplified this ambition. Three major convocations during the year were presented by the Highland Singers. This organization was extra-curricular and the success of their convocations was a result of desire and perseverence. Such tunes as Hallalujua, I'm a Bum, Billy's Mulef, and Mankind Should Be My Businessf were featured. The Thanksgiving and Christmas convocations were created and presented by members of the Student Coun- cil. The Christmas convocation featured members of the Dramatics Club. They presented a skit, written by Van White and directed by Mr. Clark. The underlying theme ofthe skit was the inability of modern man to communi- cate the real meaning of Christmas. The highlight of the year was the convocation at which Governor Whitcomb officially invited the March- ing Highlanders to the Inaugural Parade in Washington. The last convocation of the 1968-1969 year was held on May 20 to honor outstanding members of the senior high. Debbie Scott received the Valedictorian awardg Mary Beth Hayes received the Salutatorian awardg and Tammy Spangler and Mark Ray were honored as the outstanding seniors. Larry Swindell was the outstanding freshman. Other awards presented were the agriculture awards, athletic awards, Student Council awards, the departmental awards and various community awards.
