As Highland High’s first representatives to attend the journalism institute at Ohio University , Dave Spanier, Cheryl Reed, Barbara Mayhew, Carole Dorsch, Janet Strange, and Maryk Abblett spent one week on the Athens, Ohio campus studying various phases of journalism. As senior staff mem- bers, Dave and Carole participated in advanced courses in photography and yearbook copy, respectively, while juniors Barbara, Jan, and Maryk learned yearbook basics. Cheryl, the only TROJAN AL representative, studied newspaper procedures at the summer workshop. Representing Highland High at Girls’ and Boys’ State, Diane Dickinson, Sue Carlson, Margie Haburay, Dave Evinson, Jeff Minter, and Jack Leach participated in mock Indiana governments at the two one-week summer institutes at Indiana University. The six delegates and their alternates were chosen for their interest in government and history by guidance counselor recommendations and a junior class vote. Through active par- ticipation these students learned from experience the workings and pro- cedure of state and local government. Highland High ' s sum- mer institutors reached a record high during the 1964 vacation. Through these summer workshops students receive practical knowledge from experts and from their active participation. As in past years the majority of these students represented Highland pub- lications. Indiana Univer- sity, Michigan State, and Ohio University hosted these young journalists for yearbook and newspaper work. Having an interest in history and government, six juniors took part in mock state governments at Girls ' State and Boys ' State. Students also attended smaller institutes, including a drama workshop, a study for student librarians, and a student council session. A Spanish exchange student was also sponsored. 20 Shield
