In the gubernatorial elections held November 14, former Highland Park student William Clements was voted in as the state’s first Republican governor in over 100 years. Closer to home, the junior class elected its 1978-79 leaders. The new officers were Ty Snelling, president; Stewart Thomas, vice-president; Ali- son Stone, treasurer; and Ellen Eisen- lohr, secretary. Highlander Stadium saw its last game when the varsity Scots hosted J. J. Pearce November 10. Its 75-year history ended with a reception for 59 ex-HP all state football players. The '78 team closed its season with a 23- 13 win over Sherman, finishing second in district 13-AAAA. The cross-country track teams extended their season by advancing to regional competition. Varsity basket- ball began their season with a 90-52 win over Newman-Smith of Carrollton. The senior class presented the play Don't Drink the Water November 9, 10, and 11. Leading roles were played by Drew Spies, Ken Luce, Susan Cleaver, and Carol MacGregor. Two events provided a welcome relief from homework and routine. On November 4, Hi-Lites hosted its annual fall dance ‘‘Grease.’’ Students dressed in fifties outfits watched as Manuel de la Garza was crowned Hi- Lite King.
