By a process known as planographing, the cost of the Iris has been sufficiently lowered so that soliciting advertising has been eliminated. We wish to thank everyone who has helped in the pro duction of this Iris and sincerely hope that it is a com plete success The Iris Staff of 1941 42 Jack Hug James Preston Cecelia Horn Kenneth Michael Mabel Yann Betty Launer Doris Isert Betty Kayser Kenneth Willimann The credit of success of this publication is to be given to those members of the senior class as well as under classmen, who have contributed their time and effort to its completion I I nv ,, W SN f' QQCJ Eacfwafaon This Iris has been appropriately dedicated to the Highland High School Many are already serving their country in service abroad and others, now in camps scattered all over the country, expect to see action in the future We have selected the Army, Navy, and Marines, three branches of the service, as symbolic of the life and liberty for which they are fighting Through this dedication we are able to show our appreciation for the things they have done and will do I I men in service, especially those who are graduates of , 1 HIGHLAND PUBLIC SCHOOL FACULTY MRS ROGIER AND STAFF 4 ibn OFFICE FOR CE MAINTENANCE FORCE OCUZ BOARD OF EDUCATION The students of Highland High School wish to honor here the memory of Mr Victor Koch, who, at the time of his death in September, was a member of the Board of Education His memory lasts and he shall live as long as we W ' Mr P L Ewing Mr J J white Miss Lillian Wenger O I I , b D I .' ,l 'A Q , F , O I Q I Q O Sf GE We of the Iris Staff would like to pay tribute to Mr. Joseph J.

Glancing at a signboard as we leave Highland we see Anna Bailey making millions as a model, with Ethel Knebel as her stand in Traveling on we stop at Indianapolis to witness the famous annual Speedway Race and on looking over the entry list we find that 'Burn 'Em Up' Ernst and One Trackn Kleiner are competing in their newly completed ultra stream lined sensation, the Green Streak We are sorry to see the boys come in last but have no time to offer our sym pathy. Moving on to Cincinnati we find Charles Herzberg the president of Jerque a cola, astounded to find his veteran sampler, Irvin Holtkoetter, musing quietly under the spout of a cask of well aged cola Moving east we stop at Pittsburgh just long enough to see Janet Haley, Mabel Yann, Cecelia Horn, and Betty Speller berg working in defense plants in place of their husbands who are now in the army The girls are all well and doing a fine job At last the metropolis of New York is in sight As we pass through he Bronx on our way down town we find Marian Meffert, Jean Lee, and Kathryn Ninet doing a good job of housekeeping As we pass through the great city we find at the Metrapolitan none other than Carol Baumann second balcony, Section E, Row 8, Seat 5. Stopping at the Ritz, we see two familiar faces peeping out of the kitchen. Looking more closelv we find it to be Milton Gilomen, the chef, and Harvey Hunziker who is in charge of roast duck and duck soup We exit from the Ritz in a mild rainstorm and down the street walks Betty Ann Launer She enjoys 'de wind and de wainn in her hair. Just as we pass Betty we see a small light in the window and there sits Virginia Verner who tells us she is now knitting for the Red Cross Since it is raining we had to take a taxi and who is the driver none other than Kenneth Jilliman now charging for his passengers We decide to stay at the New Yorker for the evening to relax On opening the evening paper we behold the magnificient physique of the present Mr America, Elmer Fellhauer, now posing in place of Charles Atlas. As we scan the magazine section we see articles by Anna Lee Fowler on nHow to Keep that Trim Figuren, and 'Advice to the Lovelornn by Ellen Zobrist Tiring of the paper we turn on the radio to hear Wilbur Stein taking off in a hot riff of Boogi Woogi, while Edith Entering Madison Square Garden one evening we find Urban Donnelly and Calvin Lebegue, grunt and groan experts, featured on the even1ng's wrestling card On our return trip through the north western states we accidently turn on our radio and with a flip of the wrist we discover station BLAH which is presenting the Chicago Round Table featuring Harvey Jakel, consultant on current events, Ray Good, farm expert, Betty Kayser, Home Economics expert, and Oscar Levant. This program is sponsored by Smilin Hairless Joe Preston, the manufacturer of Preston Yonder Mops, the mop with the curl that gets those corners clean Coming closer to home we find Tony Lang is taking Johnny Neismuller's place as Tarzan He broke both arms trying to swim with his water wings and three ribs beating on his chest At Springfield we see a convention of UBack to the Farm League reunites Anthony Stock, Irvin Niggli, Calvin Metzger, and Felton Schmidt As we browse around the lobby of our hotel we see Harry Mueller, the house detective, who is writing a book entitled nMurder at 1513 Dracula Drive or He Was Drilled Before Nas Drafted' Another book appearing on the market at the time was Uwe did i the Hard Nay When Me Were Young or How to Win Friends and Influence Teachers' by Jack Hug. At Peoria we find that Marie Raeber is still working in a Defense industry making hooks, and Roberta Partridge is teaching a nursery school. In Marine Beulah Herrington, Eileen Hoffman and Marian Schneider are owners of a millinery shop and they tell us that Mae Bloemker, LaVerne Mugler and Jeanette Weber are the successful proprietors of a chicken farm. They also tell us thet Delores Cramer and Doris Isert are hostesses at the largest army camp in America Finally we arrive home safely to hear the astounding news that Charles Hoffman has taken over the Jamestown bowling alleys where Douglas Abendroth has found a heaven on earth, spotting pins for La Monte Gruenig who is still rolling gutter balls. Elash Kenneth Michael, the nGlamour Boy , still hasn't made up his mind. O u - - , O , 1 O .- . t O O I I ' . I - lil O O I O Steiner takes a vocal.

We gave a watermelon feed, a Halloween party, and a Valentine dance All were for freshmen only, and each was very successful As sophomores, we proved our worth beyond a doubt by having the most students on the honor roll by a large majority Our sophomore class party has been given the distinction of being the most successful party ever given by a sophomore class Besides having one hundred and twenty three students attending it, it was unique and very successful in every respect It was a backwards party The girls brought the boys and everyone dressed backwards Since then this has been considered an annual event We also gave a sleighing party An Easter Egg Hunt combined with a weiner roast was the outstanding event of the spring We also tried to take a bi cycle trip to Breese, but some of the less ambitious sophomores only got to Trenton As juniors, we accomplished a number of outstanding things The most outstand ing events were the Junior Play and the Junior Senior Banquet The play was entir ely different from anything that was ever given, being of the 1890 'mellardrammar type, old style costumes and everythlng. Bertha, the Beautiful Typewriter Girl,n one of the most outstanding plays of Highland High School The banquet was equally unique It was based on the Indian theme The gymnasium was lit by three electric fires The whole thing was very effective and was long remembered by everyone that attended Then as seniors, we equaled or even excelled other classes with our industry The class still held its high position on the honor roll Of the fifty three mem bers, none are a discredit to the class The class always had good teamwork, every one doing his share The play, uThe High School Mystery, was one of the most talked of events of the year It, too, was a different type of play None of its kind was ever given on our stage before It was under the able direction of Mr Harry Bell It was certainly a credit to the class. We can say with much pride that the senior class of '42 will be remembered and that all of its members will go far and be successful We are confident that they will make a success of anything they attempt IM Ml OOO Ill O I O 1 Class flower................ ...Yellow rose On - 0 lr- O . ll - Mfwfknnno 'un CLASS OFFICERS President Charles Schmetter Vice president James Gindler Secretary Tune Hanselmann Treasurer Jeanne Hebrank Sponsor Miss V Wildi Class flower Lily Class motto 'Anything worth doing at all is worth doing well N HISTORY The present junior class of Highland High School started its high school ca reer with fifty three members, sponsored by Mr Homann Iike any other class it was green and fresh and was prepared to give four years of aggravation to the teachers The class gave two parties and was well represented in sports, band and other activities The sophomore year was even rore illustrious than the freshman year for this class Now sophomores, everyone knew the ropes and felt at home During this year two parties were given One of them was the well known Christmas party The class started this year with forty three members and lost only two members during the course of the year The sponsor this year was Charles Dintleman, who is now principal of the high school in Fulton, Illinois The junior year is always considered the year that the class gets closest to the seniors This year the acting ability was tested and found to be very good as the Junior Class Play was a huge success being directed by Miss V Wildi The Junior Senior banquet was again a tremendous success this year The theme the event was based on patriotism This year the class was well represented sports, receiving five basketball letters as well as four football letters. the close of the junior year there were thirty eight members in the class. Entering the senior year the class of '43 hopes to maintain or better record in scholastics, athletics, and other extracurricular activities.

In the regional tournament held at Highland, the Bulldogs were pitted against Collinsville and defeated and Collinsville went on to win the tournament. The men who saw most of the action on the first team were Lang, Michael, Holtkoetter, Gindler, Siegrist, and erner while Stuckwisch and Blattner filled in very capably as reserves Only three out of the first ten are graduating this year, so next year's prospects are very promising 22 21 26 16 Ho Ho C O N. .
