CLASS OF 1945 --HISTORY The class of 1945 started their first year at Highland High School with for- ty-six members. The outstanding event of the year was an all-school Valentine party, which was a tremendous success. They also had a freshman get-to-gether in October. The activities of the year were concluded witha combination bicycle hike and wiener roast at the City Lake for the freshmen only. The sophomore class of 1942-43, feeling a sense of superiority toward the innocent freshmen began vigorously to put themselves in the highlights. To prove that they could organize and carry out social entertainment, they gave an all- school party after a basketball game. A large number of students attended, and the main entertainment was provided by the school orchestra. The junior year is always considered the year that the class gets closest to the seniors. The juniors started it off with a bangJ The first new business was a party--something unusual and out of the ordinary--as the juniors are. As a re- sult, the Junior Carnival was held on November 5. It was done up in true carnival fashion, including a popularity poll for a carnival queen. Laurene Casper was chosen with the prize of having her picture in the Iris. The juniors, always looking ahead, now wanted to choose and order their rings. This was done by having representatives show the committee their selection. After the one had been chosen, it was presented to the class and accepted. The juniors now became concerned about the play for this year. The committee was chosen and selected the play Growing Pains. Tryouts were held and much ser- ious thinking and working was done on it with good results. The juniors also scheduled a Hobo Party for April 27, which went off very successfully.
