Thejunior Prom was a great success and everyone en- joyed it. The Junior Washington Club came into existance almost at the same time that we received our class rings. We also had a very hi- ! , f 1 rl 22 by Edward Walsh larrous Junror Play well drrected by Mr Crowley The Journey to the United Nations was made and we al so visited the Statue of Liberty This was done under the direction ofMr Miller and proved very interesting What looked like a long road four years ago has now turned into a very short one and the end of our high school years rs in sight The lowly Freshmen have become the proud Seniors To guide us in this all rmportant year we chose Eve lyn Richter as our president We are now represented on the Student Council by Mavis Cook Doris Mills Clarence Patrick and Edward Walsh In addition to completing our stu dies we are looking forward to our Senior Play and the trip to Washing ton during our Easter Vacation This history would not be com plete without a word of thanks to the faculty and all others who were instrumental in making our activi ties here both successful and plea sant. We are quite certain that no matter where our future activities or lines of endeavor may lead us we will always have a warm spot in our hearts for Highland High NIU A x I 'S ' I 1 Volume I June, 1952 ' .
