The many experiences we encounter during our high school years become indelible parts of us and give us the : skills necessary to achieve success. Books and | teachers instill in our minds the ideas of ages past that provide a sturdy foundation upon which we build for the future. The friendships, laughter, and sharing, as much a part of high school as is English, give meaning to the suc- cess for which we strive. The Iris staff offers this yearbook as a key with which you can unlock the door to ex- periences that are not really gone forever, but are only as far away as the nearest memory. Walk with us through the familiar doors of | H.H.S. to visit once again the people, places, | laughter, and tears which made that wonderful | year 1966 a year to remember. Through These Doors... Table of Contents Two studious biology students, Mike Herzberg and Elvin Blunt examine specimens of protozoa. Secretaries ... Scientists ... The doors of Highland High are a gateway to an infinite va- riety of occupations. Classes ranging from chemistry, to Eng- lish, to home economics prepare students to accept responsible positions in tomorrow's world. Students receive a liberal educa- tion as well as knowledge funda- mental to their future jobs. Wanda Dajber and Kay Wall discuss their futures as secretaries with Lila Manville at a tea held during National Secretaries’ Week. ie Re 22) - a] Through These Joors Pass Tomorrow’s...

Books alone cannot train students for space-age living; they are merely the foundation upon which dedicated instruc- tors build. Teachers are aided in their never-ending task by Highland High's many educational facilities. The equipment of th® language lab, home economics kitchens, and shop plays an important part in educating students. The process of learning goes on each day in an endless number of ways. Many students pursue their education through the Independent Study Program which gives them an opportunity to progress at their own speed in science, language | arts, and social science. Education does not stop when the bell rings. Students glean meaningful learning experiences on the baseball diamond, the stage, and in group meetings of all kinds. The quest for knowledge leads a student many plac- es, and he realizes quickly that learning can be fun. Bis as . ; Kxok’s Steven B.

With the deft strokes of professionals, Del Klaustermeier and Debby Zobrist put finishing touches on their sketches. Education Opens Many Doors Opportunities offered by education are many and varied. Students of H.H.S. leave none of these fields unexplored. Creating new dishes in home economics, exploring a new world seen only through a micro- scope, or becoming proficient in a foreign language open the doors of the future for many students. Stu- dents find lasting friendships as they participate in classroom discussions and clubs and activities through- out the school year. Amid cries of laughter, our “Triad” cheerleaders, Darrell Conrad, Gregg Hecht, Allen Blue, and Barry Schuepbach, instilled confidence and pep into the fans hoping for a regional victory. Learning Has Many Faces Interschool rivalry, an exciting game, overtime, and a regional victory over Triad results in mass confusion and sheer joy as the fans congratulate the Bulldogs. A face filled with anxiety, then despair, desperation, and finally victory ... these are only a few expressions of thought evident during the process of learning. Agonies felt before a difficult examination are as much a part of learning as fun-filled initiations. Sportsmanship, leadership, friendship, and many gratifying memories are gained from football and basketball games, from dances, and from “I've got it!” Inspiration finally dawns as Sandy Moser ponders over a difficult examina- the ever-changing student life. tion.

Foreign exchange students enjoy H.H.S. hospitality during the American Field Service assembly. Experience, as the saying goes, is the best teacher. Students are given many opportuni- ties to gain leadership experience at H.H.S. The many class and club offices present ex- cellent opportunities for practice in guiding others. Leaders are needed in the classroom, on the basketball floor, and even at the type- writer. Mr. Thalman explains a wood finishing process to a group of juniors who visited Wicks Organ Company on Manv- facturers’ Day.

Chuck Roe was awarded the Menz Award. He and Wanda Weder were recipients of the American Legion citizenship awards. Sandy Moser received the Dee Boulanger Memorial Award and Janice McClay accepted the Speech Award. A holiday atmosphere engulfed H.H.S. as Homecoming, the busiest weekend of the year, approached. For weeks in ad- vance members from classes and organiza- tions put their heads together in hopes of building a winning float. A theme of “Holiday Festivals’ lent itself beautifully to the creative genius of students. The floats represented a year of gay festivals ranging from Columbus Day to Christmas. An air of excitement trapped everyone involved in the parade. Band members tuned their instruments, and industrious float builders completed last minute prep- arations as the parade line formed. High- land High’s marching band struck-up a lively tune, and the parade wound its course around the town square to return to school. Queen candidates, Sandy Kunz, Sharon Kraigher, and Jeanine Loyet smile happily as they await the start of the parade.

Against a background of red, yellow, and orange autumn leaves, maids, dressed in a rai nbow of hues to match the season, added sparkling smiles to put the finishing touches on the decorations. No one would ever have guessed that beneath the beaming faces, each girl feared she would slip as she made her bows and her hand- some escort feared stepping on her gown at a most inappropriate time. But qualms were unnecessary as each couple performed the traditional ceremony without flaw. 1964-65 Royalty—Queen Lynn Roberts and King Kent lberg Highlight the Gala Occasion a a lL a Sophomore Ushers: Ernie Chappel, Craig Louver, Marty Barnes, David Rehberger, Darrell Mistress of Ceremonies for the evening Gentry, and Steve Holt was Nancy Bosche Happy Smiles — Familiar Faces —s On one side of the gym and working the lights were Tim Klaus and Leonary Gall.

The late hour took its toll on the already tired dancers while a few stalwarts watched the movie, Don Quixote. Part of the entertainment during the intermission was the fabulous feminine dances of Bob Ullman, Jim Schmidt, Mel Roberts, and Dave Volz. In King Arthur’s time, one had to be a lord or a lady to be invited to a royal ball, but on April 26, 1966, the Junior Class made such an invitation possible for everyone. Long hours of planning and hard work transformed the gym into a sparkling ballroom and the foyer into a courtyard complete with drawbridge, moat, and alligator. The swinging music of the Del-Rays, the humor of the movie Don Quixote and the early morning breakfast too soon brought the evening to a close, and the guests stepped back into life in the twentieth Coon AERC rere tisasr ane Del Racer century with only a memory of an unforgettable prom. beautiful ballroom of King.

Hard work and late hours awarded the juniors a well re- ceived play. “Great Caesar's Ghost” centered around two scat- ter-brained ladies who create near-disaster when they become involved with a bogus Maharajah.

In an exciting game of flag football, the two opposing teams prepare for a decisive play. cts Qa di we Highland High School’s band settled down to a normal schedule this year after its ex- citing World’s Fair trip in summer 1965. The musicians performed at the annual U. of I. Band Day, in several parades, and at three concerts. Many of the members represented the school at country and district band festi- vals. The marching band and majorettes worked out clever half-time shows to be pre- sented at football games. The stage band and pep band played light and jazzy tunes at basketball games and school functions. Members of the band display devotion and determination as they devoté hours each week to regular practices, conference periods to sectional rehearsals, and evenings to ex- tra practices and concerts. Director Lyon prob- ably had several anxious days before each concert, but the band never disappointed him in the final performances. Dorsey Gibbons umpahs away at the Homecoming football game.

The members participated in concerts, festivals, clinics, and exchange performances with Wesclin and Triad. Under the direction of Mr. Davis, a new group called the Madrigal Singers came alive with the sounds of rounds and madrigals of old, intermingled with a few modern numbers. Three mem- bers of the A Cappella, Nancy Bosche’, Curt Messerli, and Doug Schoen, were honored by being selected to sing in the Illinois All-State Chorus. The public heard evidence of all of the preparation and hard work of the groups at the Spring Choral Concert.

The Iris staff's yearly project is one which is taken for granted by most students. Neverthe- less, the success of a yearbook depends upon the dedication of the staff and upon the hours and hours of time spent during and after school to plan layouts, to take pictures, to write copy, and to sell subscriptions and advertising. The staff is divided into groups headed by edi- tors, one for each section of the yearbook. The business staff is a rather separate group, also headed by an editor. The editor-in-chief and the advisor supervise the synchronization of all the sections into one coherent and interesting fin- ished product. This year the staff met twice weekly, usually from 4:00 in the afternoon until 8:30 in the eve- ning. Innovations in this year’s yearbook include the color inside the book and linotype printing which enables the staff to control print size. The staff is grateful to our advertisers who made these costly improvements possible without additional cost per book to our students. Long staff meetings meant eating on the job. Staff members Wanda Weder, Craig Louver, Carol Hill, Lynne Rosenthal, Patti Mettler, and Bonnie Callahan enjoy a supper break. lris Staff Converts Yearbook ‘ ¥ ¢ iF “ he Staff members include SEATED: Mary Frey, Carol Hill, Joan Abert, Mary Maerz.

Students Type ‘‘Bulldog”’ | REBECA Although the Bulldog staff did not function as an organization this year, the school paper was published monthly by Mrs. Neath- ery’s vocational business educa- tion students. Articles for the pa- per were written by students in the various English classes. The work of typing, mimeographing, and assembling the paper was then passed on to the business education students. These people did this work during study halls, free time, and after school. Through their efforts, H.H.S. can boast of a fine monthly news- paper. Bulldog typists are SEATED: Barb Ketchum, Donna Hosto, Carol Eilers.

Student Librarians Assist Mrs. Page in the Library Fourteen student librarians proved their worth to Mrs. Page, our school librarian, during this year. These students, members of the Library Club, lent helping hands to baffled classmates, de- signed and maintained attractive bulletin boards, checked out books and magazines, and kept a quiet and studious atmosphere in the library at all times. The club took a trip to St. Louis as an extra activity. The members visited the Washington University library and the St. Louis Public Library. Their hard work and willingly-spent time were reward- ed at a Christmas party and a spring picnic. grakeepee® cr Members of the Library Club are FIRST ROW: Secretary Sharon Parker, Barbara Ketchum, Treasurer Christy Willmann, President Margo Ammann, Cindy Raeber, Carol Sanders, Barb Obermark, Diane Vulliet.

Learns of Teaching Profession Future Teachers of America, a club : which gives its members a keyhole view of the teaching profession, offered an array of valuable information to its mem- bers this year. Some of its members were given the chance to actually sit in on classes to observe teaching methods. At . one of the most informative meetings, ) the members heard lectures given by stu- dent teachers from Greenville College. As a farewell to the senior members, un- derclassmen members organized a picnic at the City Lake. Mr. and Mrs. McDonald, Marilyn King, and Mary Maerz enjoy some experience in outdoor cooking. Bonnie Callahan, Dianne Sautter, and Jackie Sentenne ride in the F.T.A. car in the Homecoming parade. Art Club Visits St. Louis Landmarks Some of Highland High’s most creative stu- dents are members of the Art Club. The club cooperated during classtime to create a sec- ond-place winning float in this year’s Home- coming parade. Members finished out the | year by taking an all day trip to St. Louis where they observed statues, fountains, archi- tecture, and other forms of art. From their trip organization members gained many useful and creative ideas for future art projects.

The program, “Great Americans,” carried out the theme as eleven juniors and seniors were chosen to be added to the organizations roll. The society’s projects this year included compiling and selling Dial-Dope school directories, sponsoring a sock hop, and operating a summer job-finding file. The National Honor Society upheld its standards of character, leadership, service, and scholarship. Steven B. Stevens stands before the silhouettes of two great Americans.

The members studied the many varied and colorful aspects of French life, language, and culture. Since one re- quirement of the club is to have taken at least one year of French, this club gives its members an opportunity to make use of what they have learned. For the Homecoming parade, the mem- : bers cleverly decorated the back of a pick-up truck. Even this French artist was sure of a victory at Homecoming.

Spanish Club This year’s Spanish Club continued its tradition of being one of the larg- est and most active of the language- f ¢ connected clubs in the school. Mem- SAT TA bers heard talks and saw films and slides depicting the culture of the Spanish-speaking peoples. They also contributed to the American Field | Service fund and to the Spanish Pa- vilion Fund in St. Louis. In this way | they took an active part in bringing : the real foreign culture to the Unit- | ed States. The final Spanish Club fling was the party in May. There were skits, talks, musical numbers, games, and genuine Mexican food for all to enjoy. The year’s ventures were in- deed successful.

Young Scientists Hear Interesting Talks ae a erry BE) = 2 ree Highland High School’s Science Club is not yet a “famous” or- ganization boasting of a large membership; however, it is well on the way to becoming: one of the most popular groups for stu- dents who are sincerely interest- ed in scientific areas of study. Meetings are interesting as well as helpful to members. This year the organization held its meet- ings on Thursday evenings. Lec- tures and films on topics such as photography, space, and other current trends in the field of sci- ence constituted most of the in- formative programs.

The Council made progress in promoting better student partici- pation by issuing weekly- bulletins and en- couraging written comments on Council de- cisions. The organization enthusiastically sup- ported a school drive in connection with the American Field Service to help raise funds to get a foreign exchange student to H.H.S. The proceeds of the activities of Student Council Week, as well as an additional $100 went for this cause. The Council also did some re-evaluation of its own purposes and motives. A committee revised parts of the constitution to fit the organization’s present needs. Two members, Carol Bosche and Emi- ly Werder, attended the state convention in Chicago and gained new ideas for the future of our Council. In the top picture, Mrs. Caufield received a check for $100 from President Adrian Rogier as H.H.S.’s initial con- tribution to the American Field Service Drive.

Although many of the activities of the Fu- ture Homemakers of America center around fun and fellowship, Highland High’s chapter has been active in service projects as well. Members have been busy reorganizing and enlarging their organization. They have con- tinued to participate in functions on the dis- trict and state chapter levels. This year the girls again maintained the refreshment stands at the football games and the coat check at the basketball games. At Homecoming they once again teamed up with F.F.A. to create a commendable float for the parade. In addi- tion to including many evening activities and get-togethers in its program, the organization has also adopted a Vietnamese child with whom the girls correspond as well as aid financially.

Much of the success of making this an outstanding year in athletics resulted from the work and cooperation of our cheerleaders. To be victorious a team needs enthusiastic fans, and the H.H.S. cheerleaders led the rousing yells to back our football and basketball squads. Whether they shivered in the frosty football weather or watched the speedy basketball games, our cheerleaders continued to boost our teams on to victories. The girls who gave their time and talents to cheer the Bulldogs on to a winning season deserve a vote of thanks. Peppy cheers kept derbied spectators on their feet at tournament games.

Giants Capture Two Crowns Hoarse but exuberant fans roared as the Bulldogs won a heart-stopping overtime victory over East St. Louis to gain a second consecutive Mater Dei Holiday Tournament championship. Who can forget Highland’s come-from-behind heroics, the missed free throw that sent the game into overtime, and the Bulldog’s surge to victory? Coach Talley’s Bulldogs were at their finest when they crushed the Cahokia Comanches, the con- ference champs, 84 to 67. However, Highland slipped to fourth place in the Midwestern Conference with a 6 and 4 mark. In the regionals the Bulldogs provided their en- thusiastic fans another thrill by edging Triad 70 to 68 in an overtime to win the tournament after twice | whipping the Knights during the season. But in the | East St. Louis sectional Highland folded to Gillespie in a 75 to 70 upset and had its state-tourney hopes shat- tered. The Bulldogs finished with a fine 22 and 5 | record.

The award is given to the senior athlete chosen by his fellow lettermen and coaches as the athlete who cooperated best and contributed most to the sports in which he participated. Dean has been in Highland High School for only one year. His first three years of high school were at Lebanon, Illinois. He has received nine letters in baseball and basketball. Last year, along with get- ting a medal for being most valuable play- er on the baseball team, he was chosen pitcher on the All-East Metro baseball team. This year he was elected to the second all-conference basketball team. Dean is a member of the Lettermen’s Club, Pep Club, and secretary of the In- dustrial Education Club.

Conference Crown The Bulldogs gained their third consecutive Midwestern Conference championship, won the district tournament, and compiled an im- pressive 11 and 4 record behind the outstand- ing pitching of Dean Burk and Dan Yann. Dean’s hurling drew the attendance of scouts from all of the major league teams and Mets’ general manager Bing Devine. Dan also attracted attention from many colleges, scouts, and sports writers. Catcher Dennis Warning handled the other end of the battery with skill, and the other Bulldog teammates pro- vided the essential hustling, timely hitting, and scrappy defense to give H.H.S. success. Wet weather forced the cancellation of five games and rescheduling of many more. The Bulldogs breezed through the district tour- ney, but lack of hitting and misplays brought defeat in the regionals by Alton who went on to win state honors. The Bulldogs clinched the conference title early, and their 8 and 2 conference record put them two games in front of second place Cahokia and Roxana.

These people willingly lend their talents to keep the wheels of progress forging steadily and smoothly ahead. Leadership is pro- vided by the Board of Education and Mr. Stratton, our Superintendent of Schools. We in the high school owe special al- legience to Mr. Paul Diefenbach, our prin- cipal, and his secretary, Lila Manville. Their efforts are readily evident in the efficien- cy with which the work about H.H.S. is completed. Sandy Vosholler, Mrs. Eleanor Neudecker, Mrs. Esther Baumann, and Mrs. Lorena Senn keep the Main Office running smoothly. 90 Members of the Board of Education listed from left to right are Mr. Kenneth Suhre, secretary; Mr. Otto Ullman; Mr. Sam Ambuehl; Mr. William Randal; Mr. Glen Meffert; Mr. Quentin Ulrich; Mr. Kenneth Fritch, president; Mr. Olin Stratton, Superintendent. ‘omorrow Mrs. Lila Manville’s duties as high school Secretary include helping lost Freshmen find their way and fitting sentimental seniors into caps and gowns. This year marked the retirement of Rollie Senn who has been custodian at H.H.S. for thirteen years. His jocular personality made him a friend of both students and faculty. To all he became known as simply “Rollie.” ’ f salty Arno Hug and Dwight Rogier assume the task of keeping the high school spic and span. With Hard Work and Dedication | Student cafeteria helpers who work to keep the lunch lines short and the cafeteria running smoothly are Linda Zeller, Patti Ketchum, Joan Goestenkors, Vicki Vosholler, Diane Frey, Diana Smithe, Jolerfe Orell, Ethel Zeller, Jane Habegger, Verna Demkey, Leonard Pollman, Nancy Mef- fert, and Cheryl Diesen.

Baccalaureate services were held May 22 at the Evangelical and Reformed Unit- ed Church of Christ. Pastor Schoen gave the class some thoughts to ponder in his sermon, “There’s a Time to Write, a Time to Erase.” The keynote speaker for graduation ex- ercises was Dr. Frank Philpot of Illinois State University who charged the class to be filled with enthusiasm, thrust, and fuel as they faced the challenges of the Space Age. Graduation, the culmination of goals of four years, is always a gay but sad oc- casion as class members wish one another well and solemnly march out of the gym- nasium no longer as students of H.H.S. but as alumni of the school which has meant so much to them. Graduation Valedictorian Chuck Roe receives a helping hand with his gold cord from salutatorian Nancy Bosche. Graduates, faculty, and parents listen attentive- ly as Dr. Philpot delivers his address. 124 Graduating seniors join with chorus members for the last time to sing “Halls of Ivy.” Carolyn Pollman helps Jill Rosenthal solve a tassel problem on graduation night. Marshals chosen by the Class of 1966 to lead the processionals at commencement exercises were Diane Hediger and Horst Driesner. 125 Through these doors pass éager fresh- | men and sentimental seniors.
