Summer Institutes Challenge Ability and Able Minds Ambitious students need more than a regular school year of events to fulfill their desire for knowledge. Summer institutes beckon, and their call is answered enthusiastically. A few days at a college give participants a chance to learn about a certain subject in depth. Girls’ and Boys’ Staters have the experience of establishing a mock state government — complete with governor and voters. Students attending the Drama Workshop learned of the theatre; make-up through acting inclusive. Journalists spent many hours gaining knowledge of publications. Those having a special interest in science participated in the Science Seminar, where they explored our fascinating world. Highland’s Hoosier Girls’ and Boys’ Staters, Jim Larrabee, Steve Eastham, Bill Fitzwater, Mary Ann Ulrich, Gerry Kelley, Gordon Bassett, and Jean Susorney took part in mock state governments formed. Talking over some of the many new ideas learned at the Student Council workshop and the Science workshop are Steve East- ham, Mary Anne Ulrich, and Jim Larrabee. Sessions lasted for a one week period.

Preparing Last Minute Changes, Lasting Memories, Alumni, and Excitement Produce Homecoming 20 Unanimous, the theme for our Homecoming float will be . . . this was typical of what one heard when Homecoming rolled around in the fall. Hurry, we need more napkins, where’s the hammer, can someone give me a ride home; helter-skelter for two hectic weeks until the night of the parade. The floats were dismantled and thrown into the huge bon-fire behind the high school. Cheerleaders chanted, “Beat Those Devils”, and lead the crowd in a snake dance, thus ending festivities for one day. Tired, but nevertheless laboring far into the night, Jim Citta and John Bullock diligently work against time to prepare part of the senior’s homecoming float for the annual parade, a long established tradition. “Now let’s see; it’s every other one, isn’t it?” Sandy Curran knows half the fun of homecoming is decorating the floats.
