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 -
