Spirit caught on like .wildfire from coast to coast. Citizens from all races, religions, and creeds were up and celebrating our countries 200th birthday. Reminders of the bicentennial could be seen throughout the halls and rooms of Highland. Murals in the library and room 18 portrayed the spirit of 76; the business department sported red, white, and blue typewriter covers; and, the News Bureau established a penny press portraying that of 200 years ago. Mayor Robert Rock and the City of An¬ derson scheduled events throughout the year including an all-city music festival featuring the best city high school musi¬ cians that tipped off Anderson’s activities on February 1st.

II ill Streaming through the halls day in and day out was the lifeline of Highland High School—the students. Without them noth¬ ing could have happened as it did: there would have been no classes, no band, no basketball team, and consequently no school. From senior to 7th grader, super- involved to uninvolved, all were needed to complete the student body. The student body who laughed together, cried to¬ gether, socialized together, and learned to¬ gether seemed to have its own personality, although individually the personalities were the building blocks of Highlander spirit. Highlanders striving to catch the spirit, were the very essense of Highlander life. Above: Smile pretty!
