Science Research Offers Broad In order to be a student projectionist one must know how to run the projector. Here an aide demonstrates the proper way to thread the machine. No, Rex Livingston, Don Farmer, and Steve Bailey, aren’t standing on top of poor Ken H arrison; they are demonstrating their skills in rope climbing for Mr. Ken Sypult, physical education instructor. OPPORTUNITIES are many and varied, but they don’t just present themselves, one must aim toward them. Business courses train young minds for the business world. Courses for individual advantages are based on an advanced scale, as the college-level calculus course offered to outstanding junior and senior math students. In this day of space travel and scientific advancements, the wide horizons in medicine and research beckon as strong opportunities for further study and careers. Physical education strengthens the body as academic courses build the mind. Acquiring physical skills and having a sound body are just as important as accumulating knowledge and having a good sense of judgment. Mechanic or secretary?

Alumni Returned for Second Annual Homecoming, Viewed In creating Ice Cream for Victory, Lick ’Em”, the Junior Class upheld a tradition by winning the trophy. Many entertaining hours were put in on the float, each had his share of laughs, jokes, and cooperative work. Another first for Highland High — the traditional bon fire was viewed by students and alumni on the school grounds. As the wood crackled and blazed, boosters brandished red devil heads on sticks in lieu of a hopeful victory over the Lowell Red Devils. Working as part of the Adult Booster Club, Mr. George Barney straddles the ladder in a final attempt to secure the pole. He and Mr. James Radford worked together against time to complete construction of the football field for Homecoming. ECSTATIC WITH EXCITEMENT and anxious for activity, the students restlessly endured classes while their minds aimlessly wandered to the thrills of the preparations for the Homecoming celebration. The field was being made ready for the principle game of the season; floats were awaiting their creators, gaily decked in yards of wire, stuffed with thousands of napkins, and molded with hours of sacrificing, yet rewarding efforts. Time had brought the parade to reality; each organization was represented by its symbol of school spirit and pride. Ablaze with the flame of expectation for the final approaching festivities, alumni and students, alike, paraded around the bon-fire. 26
