Programs Provided Opportunity for Travel New Experiences NEW IDEAS GAINED at Student Council Institute will be beneficial in running the Highland High Council. Bob Sacha, Janet Gaston, delegates to Indiana University Student Council Workshop, and Mr. ]. Garretson make plans to put these new ideas into action. ADMIRING TWO NATIVE products of South American cul- ture, Erland von Sneidern of Ecuador and two of Highland High’s previous exchange students. Herb Marsh and Carol Spiegel, get together to chat about their personal experiences as foreign exchange students. Extra curricular activities are beginning to as- sume a new roll in the eyes of the student body and the faculty at Highland High. Institutes, such as the Journalism and Student Council Institutes, seem to be the highlight of the year, serving as stepping stones to more advanced interests. The cultural exchange which comes about through foreign student exchange is another edu- cational extra curricular activity in which stu- dents participate. Though only a few students can directly take part in such a program, the cultural and lariguis- tic knowledge which South American students bring to Highland High and, similarly, the Amer- ican culture which our students take abroad with them make such exchanges well worthwhile. In the case of both institutes and exchange programs, the organization, as well as the stu- dents, profit from the knowledge gained.

RECEIVING TROPHIES FOR their various organizations at the homecoming game are P. Kelley, N. Hoff, C. Kubacki, D. Kubacki, K. Eldridge, B. Ceaser, K. Abblett, M. MacKenzie, S. Barney, and P. Primach. Behind them are Booster Club officers Mr. E. Gaston and Mr. E. Winebrenner. Old Traditions Prevail, New Changes Help to Distinguish Drums, fans, floats, and a queen — these are the things we learn to expect and find, and, just like ever)’ other school in the country, this was High- land High’s 1963 Homecoming. Even Friday the 13th did not dare to upset tradition. Again the Trojans came through with a win on that special day. Industrious hands, anxious to create and con- struct — a familiar sight, but working with ideas as fresh and new as ever before. Bright, intent ex- pressions, almost stereotyped from years past, and yet each harboring such a diversity of feelings and memories as there are personalities in such a crow d. A radiant, smiling queen — nothing so very strange, and yet the face and personality of Janet Gaston so different from those reigning before her. Floats, floats and more floats, from every class and club, paving the w ay for another change. The senior’s “Last Chance” broke tradition as it rode to the first place honors in the parade. This was Homecoming 1 963 — so much the same, and yet so very individually ours. UNDER CRITICAL SCRUTINY by the junior class’ Tweety Bird, Margie Haburay adds final touches to the ’65 float. With an early Homecoming, work on floats started before the school year.
