Audiences enjoyed the group’s music spic- ed with comedy. One of the concerts even included a dance contest in which Evelyn Runge and Harold Schellenger competed but Mr. Brafford twisted away with the first place honors. The concerts were a first at HHS and a popular addition to Homecoming. Soon the music gave way to the sounds of calling signals, shouting instructions and cheering sections as the girls took to the field for the annual Powderpuff game. After weeks of secret practices and hard work, the Class of '74 won their second consecutive first place title, followed by the second place sophomores. Juniors took third place, while the eager but inex- perienced freshman placed fourth. ABOVE After the concert, a member of First Gear signs autographs for students.

Continuing the Hollywood theme, floats were based on movies and television shows. For the first time since the building of the new stadium, floats were displayed during the football game. Although the Bulldogs suffered a convincing loss to the Roxana Shells, Homecoming spirit remained high as students gathered in the gym after the game to hear the music of Medusa. The sock hop brought an end to another exciting Homecoming week.

The scenery for this production provided challenges for even the most skilled workmen in Mr. West’s Welding and Advanced Metal’s classes. Many of the scenes took place in Mame’s lavish New York apartment, which contained a staircase winding eight feet into the air.

Instead they attended sessions concerning careers, crafts and other areas of interest. Planning for that vacation began early in November. From interest surveys handed out to each student, topics were selected. Guest speakers and ex- perts were invited to instruct the sessions which provided something for everyone, ranging from the energy crisis to cake decorating, the feminist move- ment to professional athletics. When the day ended, the promise of quite a vacation had come true. Using Sandy Niggli as an example, a cosmetician gave make-up tips and techniques to interested girls.

With the approach of primary elections, Can- didates Day (BELOW) was arranged by the Student Council. Juniors and seniors heard about the issues from the candidates themselves. They were also told of registration and voting procedures. It was the girls’ turn to do the asking for the Stu- dent Council Sweetheart Dance (RIGHT), where students celebrated Valentine’s Day to the music of Effic. During the second semester many students were guests for the evening at the Annual Honors Banquet (ABOVE), held for juniors and seniors who had earn- ed high grade averages.

This year’s musical would be “Bye Bye Bir- die,” making a comeback after seven years. Spoofing the ‘50’s with its gyrating singing idol, “Birdie” tells the story of the teenage singing sensation Conrad Birdie, who is drafted into the army. As a last publicity stunt, Conrad is schedul- ed to plant one last kiss on contest winner Kim Ma cAfee from Sweet Apple, Ohio. Tryouts for the production were held in January. Rehearsals were soon underway. HHS's seventh all-school musical was about to be launched.

For some, practices began as early as February. Rehearsals not only got longer and harder, but also got better. May 2 brought opening night and a ready cast. Hearing the laughter and applause of the audience made the long hours of practice all worthwhile. When the final curtain fell on the Saturday evening perfor- mance, everyone knew that this year’s musical was one to be remembered.

There is a backstage crew, a lighting crew, a sound department, ushers, a make-up crew, set con- structors, the pit band and many more. Making sure everything was in the right place at the right time was the job of the backstage and prop crews. Spotlighting the singers and turning up the lights were jobs of the lighting crew. Setting up microphones and adjusting the sound was left up to the sound crew. Little tasks like these kept everything moving smoothly. Also very important were those in- volved with publicity and ticket sales, for without an audience there is no show. The production staff was also never on stage, but their presence was obvious. Mr. Pat Brafford blocked out scenes, designed scenery, taught everyone their lines, praised what was good, pulled his hair at what wasn't, called unwanted Sunday practices, and put the show together. He was the director. Mrs. Jeanne Storts played the piano, sang along, taught all the songs. She was the vocal director. The pit band prac- ticed many hours under the direction of Mr. Ken Krauss. Miss Alyce Bloom selected the dancers and supervised the choreography. All of them pulled together to turn an assorted group of high school kids into a cast of Broadway stars and made “Bye Bye Bir- die” a success.

RIGHT Mrs. Storts at the piano with Mr. Brafford close by became a familiar sight to all involved in the production Awards Day: Recognizing Outstanding Achievement Individual as well as team achievement is greatly emphasized in high school. It is a major goal of academics, athletics, and extra curricular activities. Once each school year, a day is set aside to spotlight those who have excelled in music, sports, scholarship and many other areas, representing all aspects of high school. The special awards assembly enables students not only to receive their awards but also to receive much deserved recognition from the student body. RIGHT The Dee Boulanger Memorial is presented each year to a senior girl who best exemplifies the all-around best student excell- ing in scholarship, citizenship, and service to the school. This year's recipient was Brenda Hemann. BELOW The American Legion Award is presented to a senior boy and a senior girl who best reveal the qualities of good citizens.

While seldom seen in the classroom, ad- ministrators do play a vital role in all school ac- tivities. As coordinators, they work to provide the best possible educational experience for each student, in and outside the classroom. Through their support, HHS witnessed many improvements this year. New courses, such as sociology, psychology, Illinois history, and Com- position |, became part of the curriculum. Other programs were expanded wherever space would permit. Students gained a voice in discussing school policies. Even brightly painted classroom walls were the result of administrative efforts to provide a pleasant learning environment for HHS students.

Highlighting the year for the girls, a judo expert and four of his students demonstrated special skills in self- defense for women. With as many as four boys’ and girls’ classes scheduled to meet at one time, students spent time not only in the gym but also in the classroom, on the stage, in the Jr. High Pup’s Pen, at the bowling alley, and when weather permitted outside. Through careful and ingenious planning on the part of instructors, students found the variety of planned activities made them aware of the importance of physical fitness and good sportsmanship.

Through an English elective program, students have been given choices to use in reaching this goal. Writing skills develop through composition and journalism courses. Reading skills are reinforced through literature courses. Students in- terested in other forms of communication find membership in the Video Tape Recording staff offers an opportunity to create, using television as a mode of expression.

BELOW Mrs. Christoe supervises and ad- vises her students as they work on in- dividual art projects. Art, Foreign Languages Art students learn to apply their talents through the media of oils, clay paper mache, and any other materials available. By studying the techniques of famous artists, they also gain a deeper insight into the workings of the creative mind. Course offerings in Spanish, French, Latin, and German give HHS students a variety of choices for specialization in the field of foreign languages. Through their study, they also learn of the cultures of other countries. This year, an international banquet enabled them to sample foods from countries all over the world as well as to visit with people who had travel- ed and lived in them. Instrumental Music For those students interested in instrumental music, the HHS band offers not only an opportuni- ty to develop talent but also a chance to display it. Hours of practice under the broiling sun paid off for the Marching Bulldogs who once again were invited to participate in the Veiled Prophet Parade. Then traveling to the Murphysboro Apple Festival, the band received a first place rating in music and a second place rating in marching. In addition to parades, the band, under the direction of Mr. Ken Krauss, also worked up half time shows for all home football games. During the winter months, they presented their three an- nual concerts. Individuals also participated in festivals and contests, joined in forming a pep band for basketball games, and took part in the pit band for the all school musical. Setting instruments aside, members were rewarded with an exciting day at Six Flags at the end of the year. BELOW Recently added to the band, the flag corps brightens up the front ranks.

BELOW Many hours are spent to perfect shows that are presented at half time of home football games Vocal Music Through vocal music, interested students are offered many opportunities to perform before audiences. In addition to the large groups of Boys Chorus, Girls Chorus, and Mixed Chorus, many members also participate in small groups which per- form for numerous community and school functions throughout the year. The vocal music department distinguished itself in many ways this year. At the state solo and ensemble contest, members brought home seven first place winners out of fifteen entries. Two members, Lynda Steiner and Vicky Klaus, were selected to participate with top singers from all over the state in the All-State Chorus. In addition groups such as “We Six,” “Moder- naires,” and the “Spirit of 76” were in demand for special appearances. Vocal music director Majorie Clayton also organized a Swing Choir, which distinguished itself by getting a first in contest, even though it had just been formed. She also put together the annual Christmas and spring concerts, coordinated all appearances by various ensembles and prepared groups and in- dividuals for contest. Graduation was greeted with a note of sadness for two choral groups. “Modernaires” and “We Six” disbanded after four years of working together as a group. Several members, however, plan to continue their work in music at the college level. TOP Combined choruses joined with the band to present carols in the annual Christmas concert.

Co-op Program Cooperative E ducation at Highland High prepares students for future careers by using on-the- job training instead of a regular classroom. The Co-op program gives students an opportunity to work and gain experience in the field they are most interested in. At the same time, they can earn money. In a sense, Co-op students are paid for going to class. Because of the popularity of our Co-op program, it was divided into four separate categories: Distributive Education, Office Occupations, Health Occupations, and Farming Occupations. The Co-op program is a valuable means of gain- ing learning experience and an excellent way to get ahead in future careers.

These students are also enrolled in the Area Vocational High School in Collinsville. Twenty-five seniors and thirty-four juniors par- ticipated in nineteen different courses at Collinsville this year. The courses they took ranged from nursing to auto body. AVHS provides specialized training and skills they will need in future vocational fields. oa nn Business and Social Studies Successful business is a major part of our American society. HHS business department helps students to prepare themselves for future careers in the business world. This is done through a variety of courses running from basic business to data processing. The social studies department involves all high school students at one time or another. Informing students of the problems in our world and of their rights as citizens is the main objective of this department. A new course, Illinois History, focused on interesting facts concerning our state and published their findings in a newspaper known as “The Paper.” ABOVE Gary Volz displays an Indian Sarri for his World History class LEFT Kevin Gruenenfelder and Bruce Snider use a rotary calculator in business machines class BOTTOM Learning to type, a skill almost any student can use, sometimes can be frustrating as the faces of these students indicate Industrial Education Home Economics Industry is a major source of employment for a large number of people in the United States today. Students at HHS are preparing themselves for jobs in the industrial field through our industrial education department which develops skills in areas such as welding, drafting, and carpentry. Students learn how to use various industrial machines and apply their skills to original projects. In the home economics department girls learn the best ways to manage a home. They not only learn how to cook but they learn what to cook. Nutrition is a major emphasis in this department. Students also learn the different techniques of sewing as well as study problems of family management.

HHS helps prepare its students to deal with these problems through a variety of courses offered by the science department. Biology students study plant and animal life, while the physical science classes learn about the makeup of the world around them and the forces that control it.

Math Providing a variety of courses for many particular goals, the classes in the math department range from general math courses for practical purposes to calculus for more advanced students. Through math courses, students gain self discipline as they meet the challenge of apply- ing logic and reasoning to solve the seemingly impossible. This year several students were selected to participate in the AMA math test and were involved in the Math Field Day held in Edwardsville. Through these tests students had the opportunity to estimate their abilities and in- terests in the math field. LEFT Mr. Iftner explains the construction of a pyramid to his Geometry class. ia.

Basketball Frustration In Face of Success Heartbreakers Galore! Yet this year Bulldogs have much to be proud of with a 15-9 record. Beginning the season with a 5-2 record, suffering defeats only to Jerseyville and Mater Dei, the Bulldogs entered the Edwardsville Tourney optimistically, only to be defeated in the second round. The Bulldogs were ready for Mascoutah, but suffered a one point defeat 59-58. Prepared for excitement, the Bulldogs entered the Litchfield Tournament with high hopes of winning. After two wins the Dogs again faced Jerseyville in the championship game. Two points told the difference as Highland received second place for the second year in a row. With 7 more wins and 3 losses, the Bulldogs entered the regional against Belleville West. Stretching the game into overtime, they couldn't put it all together.

Wrestling Pinning Down A Good Season Highland High's wrestling team gained school and state recogni- tion this year by having one of their best seasons in their history. The grapplers achieved an 11-8 record with the help of Chuck Ur- ban who has gone to state two consecutive years in his high school career. Craig Schulte also proved himself valuable to HHS wrestling by winning 18 of his 23 matches, 16 of which were pins and two were by decision. Jim Parizon showed his worth by winning 68% of his matches. Earl Stocker, Bennett Bassett, Kevin Hurley, and Mark Henschen also provok- ed team enthusiasm by winning at least 50% of their season matches. Urban Gains State Fame Second Year in a Row Chuck Urban, one of HHS best wrestlers, went to state for the second time. Chuck, a 235-Ib. senior cap- tured the district crown by defeating three almost equally-capable grapplers. With the district crown, Chuck advanced to the Granite City South sectionals where he defeated three very well qualified opponents to earn his second trip to Assembly Hall for the State Tournament. As a senior, Chuck turned out an almost identical record to the previous year. Urban finished as one of the top eight heavyweight grapplers in the state after wrestling three matches. He won his first match by a pin in 3:49.0, but lost his second match 10-1, as well as his third, 3-1. Urban finished his HHS grappling career with a record of 55 wins, 7 losses, and one tie.

Chuck Urban demolished the shot and discus records with throws of 53’ 4%” and 151’ 7” and became Highland’s only “Stater” in track. Qualifying for both the shot and discus, Chuck was Highland's highest point earner with a total of 89 points. The mile relay record was lowered to a 3:34.3 time with Mike Flemming, Dale Arnold, Greg Frey, and Dave Munie running. Andy Perkins tied the 100-yard dash record with a 10.2 clocking; and the relay team of Flemming, Giger, Perkins, and Munie tied the 440 with a 46.2. Two other records were set as a result of new events this year. Keith Giger triple-jumped 40’ 10%” with a broken arm, and Roger Frey ran the ex- cruciating 330 low hurdles with a fantastic 44 second time. The sophomores won the Frosh-Soph Conference with 6 firsts, 5 seconds, 1 third, 3 fourths, and 2 fifths.

Graduation An End, A Beginning In the fall of 1962, the Class of 1974 entered the first grade with 131 students. Twelve years later 185 students graduated from HHS. The class had in- creased by 29%. During these years, members had witnessed the assassin ation of a President, man’s first landing on the moon, the end of a war, the return of POWs and Watergate. As May 31 approached, the class anticipated another historic event in their lives. Graduation mark- ed the end of the familiar life at HHS. Baccalaureate services, held at the E R Church on May 17, had set the mood. Graduation was the climax. Few anticipated the role weather would play in the event. Late spring rains had soaked the stadium field where exercises were to be held, and com- mencement was moved to the gym for the first time since 1968. Graduates were faced with the dilemma of having four commencement tickets to distribute among family and invited friends. For seven classmates, the problem was even greater. Three times rain had cancelled the sectional playoffs for HHS's first-place baseball team. The game was rescheduled for May 31, which meant that senior players missed their own graduation, only to face a 1- 0 defeat in the sectional competition. Junior marshal Rod Zobrist, also on the team was replaced by Jerry Wheatley, who joined Marilyn Schallenberg to lead the class into the gym. Along with parents and friends, graduates watch- ed as Mr. Stratton recognized over one-quarter of the class for being honor students throughout their four years of high school. They listened to parting words from their class president Brad Kirchhoff and thought about the advice given by their graduation speaker Dr. Gene A. Budig, president of lilinois State University. As the exercises ended, the class marched out of the familiar gym, mixed with a little sadness, excite- ment, apathy, eagerness and uncertainty as they prepared to assume their responsibilities as graduates. For many the opportunity came soon, as they returned to school June 1 as citizens to cast their vote in the school bond issue, hoping to make HHS a better place for students who would follow them in the future. 148 LEFT Jammed into the halls before commencement, seniors joke with one another as they make last minute adjustments to tassels and mortar boards BELOW With solemn faces, graduates march into the gym as facul- ty, family, and friends watch with pride.
