The week consisted of five different dress- up days which were: Punk-Rock, Hat Tie Sock, Sweat, Western and Bum day, respectively.

But it wos fun being around all the kids and having o lot of laughs, said Mrs. Senseny, as she had her share of splashes. The troditionol aspects of Home- coming were absent because o new- ly mode track was poured this year and no person or vehicle was ollowed to walk or be driven on the track. Therefore, there were no floats or pa- rade of corvettes for the queen and princesses to take their traditional ride. The dance featured the band In- nuendo with Junior Shelly Bough on keyboards and Senior Lori Mechem on drums. The bond also featured three Highlan d alumni. Jill Martin was elected 1981 Home- coming Queen out of a court consist- ing of seniors: Angle Biockwell, Lori Hussle, Becky Walker, Kelly Moore, and Sherri Alexander.
