To signify our respect and admiration for a man whose wisdom and devotion to his work have helped shape the future of HHS. students since 1942, we dedicate this, our 1951 Iris, to Mr. DeLaurenti. He has been untiring in his efforts to build not only a finer curriculum and establish high standards of moral and scholastic achieve- ments, but also to create a tradition of culture of which we and all alumni are extremely proud. Through his unceasing efforts, he has done much to bring about the consolidation of neighboring schools into a new unit, He now holds the position of superintendent over the Highland Community School Unit, District 5.

Rather than by a frescoed wall, we are greeted by a sleek, modern building de- sign: the call Extral Extra! Read all about it!
