Yearbook staffs have tried to keep track of memories throughout these years. The first Iris was published in 1920. That year, the Class of 1920 chose the iris as their class flower. Senior Claire Meyer wrote a poem about the iris, the rainbow flower. The poem appeared inside the 1920 yearbook and the title Iris was on the cover. It has been there ever since. Even though the name hasn't changed, the style has. From a senior memory book to a yearbook, and now to a magazine review—the Iris has come a long way. All 700 copies of the 1980 Iris were printed by Inter-Collegiate Press, Inc., of Shawinee Mission, KS. Class portraits and some candid photographs of teachers and homecoming were taken by Rembrandt Studios, St. Louis, Mo. Staff photography: Bob Bullivant, Al Silva, Paul Seiberlich, Mark Bumb, Lee Zobrist, Lynne Pisaneschi, and Lisa Beckman. The 232 pages were printed on 90 lb. double-coated enamel stock. Endsheets are white vellum, with silver hotstamping. The cover is done in lithograph with an opague red trim which extends to the back cover. All copy is set in 8, 10, and 12 point Stymie, Inter- Collegiate Press, Inc. All headlines were done in . Letraset dry transfer lettering. Classes headlines set in Tiffany Heavy, Inter-Collegiate Press. Line work photography, reverses and special effects were handled by Inter-Collegiate Press, Inc. Special personal assistance provided by Mr. Dale Ott, yearbook advisor, and Mr. Phil Dronen, representa- tive from Inter-Collegiate Press, Inc. 2 Opening Leaving the Seventies Behind Born in the Sixties, matured in the Seventies, the Eighties promise to be our generation. As the young adults of Highland High School step into the future, they face a tumultuous, ever-changing world. Although the future may appear uncertain and somewhat grim, it is one that all stu- dents will play a part in. Following the philosoply, “No news is good news,’ many may switch off the TV news and avoid newspapers in an attempt to ignore the troubles of the world. However, despite the domi- nation of depressing headlines, positive events occur. And also very important, a number of the major issues directly affect teen-agers. We're getting less and less for more and more. For years, Americans have felt the inflationary pinch upon their pockets. Five years ago, no one could imagine paying a dollar for a gallon of gas; today a dollar would be a bargain. Minimum wage rose to $3.10 an hour, but how far can that go when a Big Mac costs $1.10 and blue jeans sell for $25? Prices continue to rise and consumers must pay. However, many stu- dents now budget their checkbooks carefully and spend cautiously. As inflation climbs, it's necessary to examine the future. College? Not enough money. A job? Not enough pay. Issues such as the gasoline shortage and inflation become especially important in an election year. As a portion of the senior class turns 18, they must analyze the situations and consider the candidates. With the race between Carter and Reagan and outside chance of Kennedy or Anderson, the decision is difficult. With the coming of the 1980 elec- tion, no one candidate appears outstanding. Politics do affect teen- agers. Many look on in dismay as the Illinois drinking age returned to 21 years. On a much grimmer note, the juniors and seniors fearfully face the possibility of the return of the Draft as world strife increases in Iran and USSR-occupied Afghanistan. It is also the year of the Olympics. The Winter Games, held in lake Placid, featured dazzling performances by 5-time winner speed skater, Eric Heiden, and the young U.S.A. hockey team, jubliant victors. In protest to Russia's occupation, an unpopular presidential decision, how- ever, forced the U.S. boycott of the Summer Games in Moscow. Today, students can only look on, knowing that someday in the fu- ture, they will have a chance to play an important part in the world. A Last Look at the Decade WHATEVER HAPPENED TO. . .

New memories take the place of old ones. Enduring leaking pipes, cold temperatures in winter, hot temperatures in summer, open classrooms and closed campus are now a way of life. ; 4 Opening A new time, A new life 5 A look into the 80’s With the arrival of a new decade, students and teachers were questioned about the future of the world. � They displayed a variety of thoughts. Freshman Paige Mettler and senior Kim Murdock viewed a space age world much like the movies. As many students also felt, Laurie Gi- � rard feared the possi- wy bilities of world con- ° flict and nuclear y warfare. Literature teacher Steve Oliver ad- vised ‘‘Read 1984.’’ Administrator Fred Single- ton pictured the world, battling increasing prob- lems and pulling together to overcome these problems. Perhaps senior David Hickey expressed it best of all as he retorted, ‘‘What world?” Students regard the future with a mixture of fear, uncertainty and hope. Still tucked away in the security of high school, students also looked ahead with a feeling of detachment— it all seems to far away. {a we , ee Top Left) To obtain a better understanding of business, students of the economics class tour the complex operations of Wick's Organs (Top) One of the first steps in becoming an adult, students line up to register to vote (Far Left) Marriage included in the plans for the 80’s, the new adult living class prepares for this part of the future (Left) Although running un- der the shadow of Julie Cur- ry, freshman Ruth Tschannen looks ahead to the years of hard work needed to break the cur- rent records (Right) While most plan diligently for the future, some students are satisfied to take things one day at a time A Look in the ‘80's 7 wow mrt a a hte a. ; 23s (Och 3 vt (BEA The by mR i S ; re or rie a fm i.) aes ia Pb, Ret eet. 8 Advertising The Main Event Busy. This word aptly describes the typical student's life. On the go from eight in the morning, many try to squeeze in schoolwork, sports, extra-curricu- lar activities and a job within a single day. Most succeed, some- times neglecting homework or for- getting to eat a meal but usually with time left over for fun. Student interests lie in many di- rections. HHS offers a variety of activities—from Backwards Day to a pie eating contest or dances and the Friday night game. School functions occupy time, but stu- dents often spend weekends in a totally different environment — whether on the job or at a rock concert in St. Louis.

Eventually, the days settle into routine and students find their place in school. They join clubs, try out for sports and get involved in school functions. Meetings, practices, homework occupy much time. Marching in halftime shows or playing the school song at pep assem- blies, memorizing lines for the fall play, enduring hard hours of practice culminating in Fri- day's game are typical of what students look forward to and al- ways remember. Other events, such as dress up days, Home- coming activities and the un- usual class projects, provide breaks in an otherwise monoto- nous day. Perhaps one of the best parts of any school day is being with friends—relaxing in the media center, enjoying lunch hours and just coping with classes. For most people, these activities make school special.

Late evening and week- end hours are tucked between pages of homework, practices, games and parties. Waking early enough to report to work by 5:30 a.m. and staying up un- til 2:00 a.m. on a school night have become an established fact of many students’ lives. Lack of time and sleep are major laments of the working student.

Despite the negative effect on schoolwork and social life, em- ployed students feel they have an advantage. Besides an ex- panded income, students gain an “extra sense of responsibil- ity” and a “headstart into the working world. 16 Student Life (Bottom) Spinning records at the Home- coming dance, Joey Henderson also worked as a disc jockey at Off Broadway.

If you find the school blues cramping your lifestyle, you'll be interested in a very dependable and enjoyable remedy. Two days and nights of breaking away to freedom and fun... the weekend. Sometimes Saturdays and Sundays became a chance to catch up on things that needed to be done—washing the car, cleaning your room, getting a haircut, going shop- ping. Often, students’ jobs force them to work weekends. For anyone who worked at McDonald's or Ken’s, working the night of a football or basketball game became a dreaded experience. In a town the size of Highland, it of- ten required ingenuity to cook up an exciting weekend. Of course, many relied on the usual standards—riding around, partying, going to the show. With the great suc- cess of the football and basketball teams, a number of stu- dents attended the games, home and away. Occasionally, a big weekend popped up. The night of the Coronation or Prom took weeks of preparation. Students took full advantage of the weekend, stretching dollars and curfews.

The week off in April was the first spring vacation many could re- member and students made the most of the sunny weather. Returning to school, it seemed time to bring out the frisbees and baseball gloves and prepare for summer. However, less than a week later, April 14, snow fell one more time. The snow melted the following day and, by the end of the week, the temperatures reached the 80's.

Watch carefully and you'll see orange peelings flying out the window, cookies passed across the seats, potato chips swallowed without being chewed first and thirst quenchers getting chugged down by dry mouths. Everyone knows what's happening. After a game, spectators cram fast food restaurants to redeem “‘free fries’’ tickets. But do they stop with fries? No, they buy hamburgers, sodas, sundaes and more fries! Everyone knows what's happening. In the school cafeteria the food line is always a long one, but so is the line for ice cream and sodas. Everyone knows what's happening. You'll never see a football game without seeing a con- cession stand first—and the line won't be short. Everyone knows what's happening. Have you ever been on a date and not gone to the local hamburger joint or pizza place afterwards? Of course not, who could go without eating for 2 hours? Everyone knows what's happening. Those late nights of doing put-off homework until 3:00 in the morning are aided by raiding the refrigerator every half hour. Everyone knows what's happening. It’s a case of the “MUNCHIES”. Even people on diets don’t have the willpower to control it. And if you're not on a diet, you don’t want to. They taste too good and they satisfy sudden hunger. They’re so easy to grab out of pan- tries, vending machines, refrigerators and cookie jars. They're even easier to eat. Just think of the mere 35¢ you can spend to help appease the bottomless pit. But then again, think of how much you could save if you weren't addicted to the dreadful “MUNCHIES”.

There are hundreds of sports that athletes can excel in outside of high school, ranging from fishing to riding a motorcycle to skiing and horse- back riding. If there were such things as high school fishing T teams, cycle riding teams, and horseback riding i teams, many of the participants could earn letters. But have you ever heard of anyone earning a letter for catching the biggest fish or for winning a medal at the water skiing festival? Winners in these sports don’t earn high school let- ters, college scholarships, and olympic medals. They get involved for the pleasure of it. There are no pres- sures attached—just weekends and free time to make the most out of their favorite sport hobby. On occa- sion, a 200 pound fish may be caught or a record of skateboard endurance may be set. But for the most part, these funseekers are just out to make the most of their most popular ‘‘do it yourself sport.” 30 Student Life (Below) Showing off his riding stunts, Scott Schuepbach joins in with the many Americans in the sport of motorcross 7 : (Left) When the summer days reach their normal 90 degree temperatures, many owners of ski boats head for the lakes.

Homework, book reports and tests become routine. By the time students enter high school, many become disgusted with this routine and drift away from the aca- demic mainstream. However, the sharp student realizes HHS offers a great variety of courses and activities ap- pealing to a number of interests. Vocational classes, home economics, college prep courses, AVHS, Co-op, contests, clubs, field trips . . . with a little search, one can choose a curriculum that meets his needs and helps prepare for the future. One may find many activi- ties of fun and interest at HHS and, also important, one may even learn something.

It’s more than just being with friends, goofing off and sleeping in superstudy. School also offers an opportuni- ty to be in the spotlight, as a par- ticipant or as a spectator. It’s dressing up for coronation and prom. It’s spending weeks and weeks of rehearsing for a few glo- rious moments of applause on stage. While St. Louis offers its rock concerts, fine restaurants, movies and other luring attractions, HHS also has its own forms of cultural entertainment. Whether as a lead in the musical or as one of 120 musicians in the band, everyone can join in. Those not so inclined to participate can always get a date or bring a friend to watch and enjoy the talents of others. These events add another di- mension to life at HHS.

Di- rected by Miss Diane Risser, along with student direc- tors John Pagan and Teresa Pogue, the play left its viewers with a message in the climactic last act which conveyed the theme: ‘Allow people to be what they want to be.” As opposed to last year’s very small cast, ‘Curious Savage”’ had an eleven member acting crew and just as many people behind the scenes. Sue Sleeth, Sarah Mache, Denise Tabor, Arron Byrd, Deb Pfeiffer and Christi Burke applied makeup to the actors. Ushers were Mike Hatfill and Carol Degenhardt. A competent back stage crew was responsible for lighting, sound ef- fects, props and costumes. With all this help and an energetic cast, the fall play earns a 5-star rating!

A backwards fairy tale, Once Upon a Mattress provided a comedic break to the previous tradition of HHS musicals. Many inexperienced perform- ers filled the major roles, including Dawna Breuer, Christi Burke, Dav e Kunkel, Ross Lange and Steve Rogier. And while some were just getting their first taste of show business, Miss Diane Risser, after three years, was directing her last musical at HHS. Despite a delay in tryouts and callbacks and a late start to practice, the performance appeared flawless to the unsuspecting audience. However, Christi Burke, por- traying Queen Aggravain, noted, ‘‘We never did it com- pletely right until Saturday night, the final perfor- mance.’’ While some of the rehearsals may have been shaky, the scenery proved even more troublesome, fall- ing down during a dress reheursal. As the story takes place in a far off kingdom in the days of long ago, many costumes were rented in order to provide the proper atmosphere. And although the boys (Top) Resisting the strains of the Nightingale of Samarkand protested, they appeared in colorful tights.

Hat Day, Disco Dress Up, Disco Dance with Joey Henderson as the disc jockey gave students a chance to get involved in the festivities. The girls’ Powderpuff football game, sometimes physically rougher than the varsity games, was won by the sophomores. Half time entertainment was supplied by a wheelbarrow race around the track. Highlighted by the male cheerleaders, Powderpuff gave Senior Todd Rutz a chance to show off his legs and cheering ability and earn 1979 Powderpuff Queen title. Friday's pep as- sembly proved to be successful as the varsity football team easily defeated Jerseyville 33-15. For the sponsoring Student Council members, Homecoming preparations began with the first week of school. Choosing a theme, writing invita- tions, earning money and planning every detail as to make sure that October 22-27 ran smoothly, was all that mattered. To them Homecoming Week was full of anxiety and headaches. With the current interest in disco, ‘Saturday Night Fever’’ was selected as the theme. The set- ting for the Coronation was decorated according- ly—with metallic colored panels lining the gym's walls, a mirror globe casting rays on the court members, twinkle lights aglow, stars blanketing the floor, a disc jockey booth for the master and mistress of ceremonies—Mr. Arlen Baker and Miss Diane Risser, participants dressed in tux- edos and formals, and ‘Saturday Night Fever’’ in lights accenting the evening. However time was spent, whether participating in or spectating at these activities, Homecoming 79 was Not Just An Ordinary Week!

Damage done to the floors and a wall of the KC Hall raised discussion over whether or not to continue the Junior-Senior Prom.

While some people join clubs only to get out of classes once a month and to get one more picture in the yearbook, the majority of members benefit and enjoy the activities which include field trips, ban- quets, pizza parties, picnics, Westworld, Homecoming events, concerts and contests. A variety of money-making campaigns pro- vided the necessary cash for these activities. Bulldog bumper stickers and bandanas, cheese, cookies, daisies, grapefruit and oranges, stuffed animals, etc. offered by ea- ger club members usually recieved a welcome and profit- able reception from students and faculty.

Through sponsoring buses to games, having contests and offer- ing free McDonald's sodas, many more people became involved in school activities. To start the year off, Student Coun- cil members kept busy planning for Homecoming. They decided on the theme of ‘Saturday Night Fever’ and planned activities for the week based on the ‘‘disco craze.” All the fun and excitement throughout the week led up to the Coronation on Saturday night. All the hours of pre- paring, decorating and setting up paid off with a whole week of suc- cess. Other activities of the Student Council included selling valentines, holding dress-up days and passing out candy canes during Christmas. The Council also helped to spon- sor Career Day for seniors who were interested. Any senior could sign up to work at various jobs in the com- munity. With the help of chairwoman Peg Willimann from the Business and Professional Women, seniors went to various companies in the Highland area and gained ex- perience by working for a day. The club was led by President Kim Hosto, Vice President Kim Niggli, Secretary Dana Burton, Cor- responding Secretary Barb Bickline and Treasurer Traci Imming.

Each class tries to meet at least once a month and in each of these meetings they do various activi- ties. Putting on skits for other members, showing slides of Spain, giving reports on different Spanish customs, singing and playing games are some of the activities Spanish club members enjoyed. During the year the Spanish club participated in the Foreign Language Day at Carbondale, Illinois. There members attended different sessions that included Japanese Calligraphy, pictures of Spain and learning what different Spanish gestures mean.

(Left) The German Club officers are Betty Roggenkamp, Kevin Harris and Debbie Fickbohm. Getting a little taste of German life is what the German club helps members to do. ‘‘Wie geht’s” is a phrase commonly used among the German club members. In order for members to get bet- ter acquainted with Germany, five club members attended the St. Louis German Day at Washington University. They watched a Ger- man play, participated in a poetry reading contest and saw a presen- tation on German comic strips. At one of the club's meetings, a German woman talked to the members and answered any ques- tions they had. She also showed some of her slides of Berlin. Money-raising projects for the club included selling Highland bumper stickers and advent cal- endars from Germany. To end the year, members went out to eat at a true German restau- rant called the ‘Edelweiss’ in St. Louis. The club was led by President Kevin Harris, Vice President Debbie Fickbohm and Treasurer Betty Roggenkamp. It takes All kinds Finding out about, getting acquainted with, and actually being with people from other countries is what International Fel- lowship is all about. This year HHS had two foreign exchange students, Machi Jimbo and Nao Nashida both from Japan. In order for the foreign exchange stu- dents to meet the students and teachers the International Fellowship Tea was held. Members got to talk to Machi and Nao and find out a little more about their country. Later in the year the International Fel- lowship Banquet introduced foreign ex- change students from all around this area. Each club member had to bring a foreign dish of food and everyone got to taste a little bit of each kind of dish. The club was led by President Lisa Beckman, Vice President Dawn Ottensmeier, Secretary Sharon Neier, and Treasurer Dianne Rutz.

To create a deeper interest in Industrial Education and local industries and to develop wholesome respect for democratic ideals was the main purpose of the Industri- al Ed club. It also provided club members opportunities to develop leadership, social relations and cooperation with other members of the club and other clubs. For the first year the club was not responsible for changing the marquee in the front of the school. Nor did they take part in any fund-raising events. The club did hold meetings however, and during these the mem- bers learned more about Industrial Ed and worked on several projects to sharpen their skills. Officers for the club were President Dan Kapp, Vice President Scott Lancey, Secretary Mike Pollard, Trea- surer Frank Prusa and Sentinel Ken Keltner during the Fall semester.

The club was formed to let students who have an interest in the science field find out a little more about it. Club members did one experiment during the course of the year. In this they tested ink from pens and found out what kind of pig- ments were in it and how they separated. The club was led by President Stephanie Hammond, Vice President Cathy Plog and Secretary and Treasurer Barry Harris.

One of the many ways the club helped the community was sponsoring the March of Dimes Walk-a-Thon Bike-a-Thon. They also held a drive for Cambodian Refu- gees in which they collected money for the starving people. By attending different rallies and the Imperial Concert in St. Louis, members got a chance to meet other Christians as well as learned more about God. Members who attended these sessions felt that they had a great learning experience. Officers for the club were Presi- dent Al Silva and Secretary Evelyn Rogier.

The members thought selling bandanas would be a great way to raise school spirit as well as to earn money for the Club. Selling bandanas was only one of the club's activi- ties, though. They held their annual Christmas party where they enjoyed refreshments and exchanged gifts. To raise more money members also sold old textbooks. For the second year, members invited the faculty to a Valentine Tea. Selling hand-made rings at the Art Fair was also one of the club's many activities. One of t he most important events for the organization was National Library Week. Once again members orga- nized the read-in. They took newspapers and maga- zines to anyone who had nothing to read. To wrap up the year members held a pizza party at Ken's.

Getting off on the right foot, the Club was the biggest that it has ever been. In order to gain moral support from the people in the Highland community, the Varsity Club sold bumper stickers for advertisement and seat cushions for the fans to sit on.

In the Art Club students can find out about and ex- plore different types of art. Many members of the Art Club helped with different art projects in the school. Among these were help- ing the Student Council with the Homecoming decorations, making signs for the Basketball Regionals, and painting scenery for the musical in May. Other activities included hosting a bake sale on Saint Patrick’s Day and sponsoring the Annual Art Fair, which was the biggest project of the year. Members brought items that they had made themselves and sold them. Items ranged from etched glass to slogan buttons. The club was led by President Sandy Schwend, Vice-President Vicki Seiberlich, Secretary Tina Isaak and Treasurer Joyce Theims.

Although Future Farmers of America were not as big this year as in past years the club was still very successful. In order to raise money for club trips they sold seed corn as well as garden seeds. One trip the club took was to the Mormon Farm in Quincy in which the members learned many new farming techniques. They also attended the Livestock and Dairy Judging where several members brought home awards and medals. State FFA officers came and talked to the members also during the year. The club was led by President Scott Plocher, Vice President Mike Ammann, Secretary Margaret Lewis, Treasurer Karen Rutz, Historian Tammy Leroy, Reporter Carl Steiner and Advisor Mr. Schaeffer. ™ baG (Top, Right) An exceptionally fine FFA member, Dave Stille is pictured with a State FFA officer.

Seniors Ross Lange, Dave Stille and Charlie Weber did exceptionally well, placing re- peatedly in the various competitions which qualified them to participate in the State Tournament of Champions at Eastern Illinois University. This is the largest contest in the state and is open to only those who have placed first in an invitational tournament throughout the season. Highland also did very well in the State Competition. At the District level, Dave Stille placed fifth in Prose Reading, Ross Lange took fifth in Oratory, Theresa Cagle placed fourth in Verse, and Ross Lange and Charlie Weber also took a fourth place in Humorous Duet Acting. Dave Stille was the District Champion in Oratorical Dec. and Charlie Weber placed second in Humorous Interpretation. The first and second places qualified Dave and Char- lie to advance to the Sectionals where Char- lie made finals and finished fifth, while Dave placed third and advanced to State Competi- tion. In addition to contest work, the Team per- formed for various organizations and groups in the Highland : 78 Organizations eee Drama Club members seemed to have caught the eye of the underclassmen with a majority of members con- sisting of freshmen and sophomores. Members earned points for participation in club activities. If they helped with the Fall Play, Musical, or One Acts in any way, they received points. The ten members with the highest number of points attended the Illinois Theater Festival in Bloomington as a reward. An ‘Evening of One Acts” sponsored by the Club in January gave less-experienced members a chance to perform, as well as provided an excellent opportunity to earn points. Increasing the number of activities also increased in- volvement. Miss Risser commented, ‘‘The interest was always there but it just wasn’t put into actual use.’ This year Drama Club became an established organization of HHS.

Band 83 Bringing the news to You? Highland News Leader Sports A shining season The 1979-80 season proved a vin- tage year for HHS athletics. Many fans shared in the excitement as the football team battled to a 2nd place MVC finish and as the bas- ketball team captured their first- ever MVC crown. Other sports, perhaps with less fanfare, turned in excellent records. With only two exceptions, all teams improved the preceed- ing year’s records. Both girls’ and boys’ tennis and track and girls’ cross country sent competitors to the state meet. The tennis teams, cross country and girls’ track won several major invitationals and finished high at districts. At the season's end, several athletes found their names included on the All-Metro and Area teams of var- ious newspapers. As HHS continues its domi- nance of area sports and the cultivation of fine athletes, the spirit and support of the fans also continues to increase. (Above) Protected from the day's downpour by a plastic trash bag, senior Julie Curry's face reflects the solemnity of the moment.

Posters, locker decorations, and pep rallies drummed up the rowdy during the football season. And the basketball season, which is usually plagued with apathy, had a new look.

Cheerleaders 87 So close yet so far Bulldogs Lose Only to State The season was going smoothly for the Bulldogs, until November 3. They were 8-0 and had defeated the always tough Roxana Shells, 22-0. But on that Saturday it wasn’t to be; the Bulldogs lost to eventual State Champion Mascoutah, 33-15. They finished the 1979 season 8-1 and ranked 10th in the state poll. Although they were disappointed at the missed chance of an MVC ti- tle, the team was proud of the sea- son in which their average winning margin in the first 8 games was 23 points. The team gained a great deal of respect because of the suc- cess they attained with limited athletic ability. Defensive end Kevin Ziegler commented, ‘‘We didn't have the quality players or the depth they had last year, but we worked together as a team.” At the start of the season, this team was forced to overcome a lack of outstanding talent created by the loss of 18 seniors. In fact, the only people really believing in the squad were the players themselves.

What made the Bulldogs shine in ‘79? Team togetherness seems to be the answer. According to Senior Tom Mahoney, ‘We were a team and we stuck together. No one tried to take all of the glory.’ As the year went on, it was clear the Bulldogs were one group, not separate indi- viduals. Senior signal-caller Todd Rinderer summarized the season with this statement, ‘‘We were a team both on and off the field.” Because of their unbeaten streak, the Highland gridders gained much publicity as even the Channel 4 Newsroom crew came to one of the practices for a feature story Ay Manville, Jeff Mitchell.

Girls Tennis 93 Curry Places 15th at State Meet Everywhere we go, people want to know who we are, so we tell them. We are the Bulldogs, mighty, mighty Bulldogs. In the first year of competition, most teams struggle to establish reputation. While HHS girls have run cross country before, for the first time a female team has participated in girls’ meets. And with two of the area's foremost contenders, the Bull- dogs became a well-established threat. As 3-year veteran Lisa Beckman observed, ‘‘Everybody knew who we were because of Julie and Ruthie.” A cross country team must have five runners to place in competition. The Bulldogs could not always pro- vide the numbers, but they could de- pend on a lst or 2nd place finish by senior Julie Curry. Ruth Tschannen, an outstanding freshman runner, fol- lowed closely behind. The two were backed up by solid performances Highlight of a three year career, senior Lisa Beckman's 5th place performance earned all-conference honors. 94 Sports from seniors Lisa Beckman and Lori Steinbruegge and sophomore Cindy Burgess. While the team clinched only one victory, the individual ac- complishments outweighed this fact. Ruth and Julie finished nearly every race in the top five. The two were joined by Lisa and Cindy in earning all-conference honors. Curry and Tschannen’s perfor- mance at Districts qualified them for the first annual girls’ state meet. Hampered by inexperience in a larger meet, Ruth finished in the 184th position. However, Julie’s 15th place finish firmly established her as the top runner in the southern half of Illinois. Julie summed up her style and determination, ‘‘Nobody ever beat me twice.

The starting gun is shot and it's just you ... one runner in a 150. As you stride along the course, your mind is filled with the race. You want this one. Your body pounds as you whis- per, “I've got to catch Kilpatrick.” And you pick them off, one by one. Then the last, long stretch. You see the finish chute and reach inside for a final burst of power. You cross the finish line, you gasp for breath and, perhaps, you stumble. It's over, you hurt and you didn’t even win. But it’s still worth it. Cross Country is a demanding sport. It requires miles of regular season running and training throughout the rest of the year. Prac- tice can be boring. As Bob Bullivant explained, “It gets monotonous run- ning against the same guys.’’ Howey- er, as the season got underway, the boys began competing against—and beating—other teams. The squad turned in a greatly improved perfor- mance over the previous season. They totally dominated most of the smaller meets and finished several places higher in all the invitationals, in fact, ten places higher at Granite North and Flora. Why the differ- ence? Sophomore Darryl Frerker ob- served, “It was the same people as last year. We were just better. We were a closer team and knew what to work for.’’ The team steadily im- proved, placing 3rd at the Highland Inv., 2nd at the County and Confer- ence meets and finishing lst at the Jacksonville Inv. Most team members agreed that the Jacksonville meet was the season's finest victory. Al- though the boys missed sectionals by 3 points, it is interesting to note that their performances were faster than previous HHS squads which had qualified for state.

They're the best team I ever had.” Cross Country (Front) Steve Rogier, Drew Scott, Scott Buckalew, Greg Byers, Darryl Frerker, Bob Bullivant; (Back) Todd Tschannen, Todd Niemann, Coach Steve Moore, Todd Frey, Dayle Suess.

Boys’ Cross Country 97 Sophs, Seniors Go 11-11 An 11-11 record may not seem success- ful, but to first-year coach Ron Franzen, a .500 season with so many underclass- men was definitely an accomplishment. Inconsistency plagued the Bulldogs throughout the entire year. Proof of this was that three different golfers at var- ious times held down the number one position. Although the sophomore class had the most golfers on the team, seniors occupied several key positions. Kevin Harris, Lee Zobrist, and Ed Waggoner all contributed to the team’s success and were considered the leaders of the team.

Most of the varsity squad had played together for three years. After three years, things began clicking. Serves, net play and defense gained consis- tency. Improved mental concentra- tion added an extra dimension to their performance. They built a solid team with a strong offense which led them to a 9-8 season. Most of the victories occurred in the latter part of the season which did not surprise Coach Holmstrom, “We were looking to the second half of the season and we achieved our goal.’ Playing their best match of the season, the Bulldogs defeated a very tough Bethalto squad and ad- vanced to the District finals—a first for HHS volleyballers. However, the championship eluded the team in a narrow loss to Edwardsville. The team has set their future goal at a District championship and a chance at the State tournament. The Bulldogs can easily be optimistic. While most opposing teams are los- ing several players, the entire start- ing lineup returns next season. | teow — As a dejected and defeated Bethalto leaves the court, Highland jubilantly re- joices in a first round district victory.

Serving, setting and spiking are not new to many of these girls, as several competed in sixth grade and at the junior high level. This pro- gram for the younger girls is now showing its dividends as the exper- ience gained has proved vitally im- portant. Complimenting the girls on their excellent season, Coach Nona Holstrom stated, ‘Our strength was in our sophomores, with much fresh- men talent to go along.

The major change was a new coach and a new attitude for the wrestlers. But even with a new coach and a different attitude, the ‘80 Bull- dogs could only manage a 3-9 record. Coach Cipicchio, who was a wrestler himself at the University of Michigan, commented on the season, “Our lower weights were extremely tough. It seemed that our major trou- ble was in the heavier weights, and the fact that we had to fill in several spots with lighter kids because we didn’t have anyone to wrestle that weight.” In spite of a losing record, there were high points making the record misleading. Junior Terry Ohren set a state record for the fastest pin in his weight class when he pinned his man in a mere 6 seconds. Another junior, Greg Ernst, had an honor by advancing to the Sectionals on the wake of a second place finish in the district tourney at 112 lbs.

Unlike other junior varsity squads, the wrestlers didn't have regular matches because of the lack of per- sonnel. Even though they had an irregular format of only 5 to 10 matches, Coach Cipicchio thought the JV grapplers were very successful since they always won over half of their matches. He also commented, ‘‘The weights from 112 to 145 were the strongest, and most of these people were from the very talented sopho- more class.” The highlight of the season came when the team won half their match- es against Roxana. The best individ- ual records were compiled by Kyle Shaw (9-4), C.C. Biggs (7-1), and Kevin Buchmiller (5-3).

Dale DeBourge, a member of the football team described the need for spirited fans by saying, ‘Know- ing that all of those people out there are pulling for you really gives you an added boost. It psy- ches you up and makes you want to try harder and harder. ’ This year, Highland athletes had 108 Sports the benefits of having enthusiastic cheerleaders, a large following of fans, and a revised pom-pon squad. The pom pon squad was a spirited group of hard working girls under the direction of Mrs. Gradle and Miss Prack. They performed both at the girls and boys basketball games, and also made an appear- ance at a wrestling match. All these contributions of spirit made by the fans, cheerleaders, and the pom pon squad supplied the final ingredient that assisted Highland teams, and boosted them to victory. ie 7 — a AE (Above) Expressing the enthusiasm of ev- ery cheerleader, is senior Kim Murdock.

Spirit 109 Capture Ist MVC Title When the conference poll came out, the Highland Bull- dogs were picked to finish third, behind Mascoutah and Wood River. Little did people know that it would come down to the last conference game of the season to determine the champions—Highland or Mascoutah. To everyone's astonishment, except the team and devoted fans, the Bulldogs beat the “invincible” Indians and brought home the first MVC crown ever in the history of basketball at Highland High. ‘We know we had the potential to be a winner.” stat- ed MVP Tom Mahoney. “It was just a matter of forming 7 players into a team and not having an individual standout was one of our biggest assets as a team.” Is there an answer to how a team, consisting mainly of the same ballplayers, could progress from a 4-18 record of last year, to conference champions this year? Team leader Todd Rinderer answered, ‘‘Last year we had only one player that had played varsity ball. That lack of experience took its toll. This year, all of us had experience and it was evident that it helped us tremen- dously. ’ Evident indeed, as the Bulldogs were big time and took their toll of games.

But on the other hand, they couldn't do much worse than last year when they were victorious in only one contest.

The JV girls record of 5-6 was much improved over their first season when they finished with a miserable 0-5 season. Even though the team had many first year players, Coach Holmstrom credited the game exper- ience gained during the year for most of the success. Although the lack of height hurt, the JV possessed strong abilities in floor shooting, free throw shooting, and ball control.

It took a few con- vincing wins and some really great times before we realized just how good a team we were.” The season looked especially bleak. With the loss of several seniors and underclassmen, the team appeared weak in the field and spring events. The coaching staff of Ted Cipicchio and Jody Blunt was relatively inexperienced. The new uniforms didn't even fit! However, a tent sprinting and high jumping, and greatly improved relays formed HHS’ best team ever. While rolling over many oppo- nents, it took a two point loss to Centralia to really gel the team. Not only did the team turn around men- tally, many individual and relay strengths were discovered. From that point on, HHS demolished record after record in yards and established formidable times in the new metric measurements. Beaten only by Centralia and East St. Louis, Lincoln and Senior, the girls defeated 46 straight win at the Triad Inv. and the County meet, the Bulldogs also tri- umphed at the Mater Dei Inv. and took a surprising third at a tough District meet. The team was described by Coach Cipicchio as gutsy. “They weren't satisfied with breaking the record once; they wanted to break it again and improve the time. ’ This attitude led to a superb season climaxed by two seniors’ trip to State.

Boys Track 121 Practice When fans are watching a par- ticular sporting event, they some- times forget about the endless hours that were spent practicing for the match, meet or game. They forget that the athletes who are being watched have devoted countless hours of time and ener- gy trying to improve their talents. Running dreaded intervals trying to reduce your time a precious second, hitting tennis balls until they finally get it right, and shoot- ing jumpshots trying to find the magic, are just a few tasks that athletes encounter everyday at practice. Doing a drill repeatedly and then doing it just one more time builds the endurance and desire to win. Not winning, after so many painful workouts would surely be a waste. Since the majority of athletes are not born with an overwhelm- ing abundance of talent, the de- sire and determination to improve by spending hours practicing is needed to make up the difference that separates the winners and los- ers. And with the victories ob- tained in the last year of sports at Highland, the hard work of the athletes definitely made up for what talent was missing. 122 Sports When athletes compete in a particu- lar sport, they play to win. But to be a winner, they pay a price. What is often traded for winning, is the pain and agony that it takes to achieve the goal of victory. Fatigue, aching muscles, and bruises often result from competition, win or lose. Many coaches have the brilliant philosophy, that if it doesn’t hurt, it isn’t doing any good. This theory often results in endless hours of agonizing pain for athletes. Cross Country and track runner, Scott Buckalew, describes pain as, “Running until you grasp for air, while at the same time your leg mus- cles ache. You don’t want to take an- other stride, but you continue, striv- ing to achieve the goal you set.”’ Jim O'Shea, cornerback on the football team, thinks of pain as, ‘‘Be- ing hit so hard that you don’t know where you are, or what you're doing, but you go on, not wanting to give up.” Is it worth all the agony and suf- fering that is related to sports? For the majority of athletes, the answer is a definite yes. Practice-Pain 123 Inexperience Takes Its Toll With only two lettermen returning, this year’s Bulldog team was ready to take on a big challenge. Playing with a lack of experience would hinder the ‘Dogs throughout the whole season. Out of nine starters, there were only four seniors and two of them had never be- fore played high school baseball. Rounding out the team, were three juniors and three sophomores, all of them being inexperienced in varsity ball. Another problem that caused the Bulldogs to fall on hard times was their inability to execute as a team. In many games, the pitching was excellent, but the hitting failed and didn't put enough runs on the scoreboard. Lack of hitting and too many errors, both mental and physical, caused the most headaches for the team and resulted in the poor won-loss record of 6-13. Coach Mike Hooker summarized the season by say- ing, “It's very difficult to be an overpowering team when you have so many inexperienced players.’’ Even with their lack of experience, the team did have some bright spots. The two defeats of the Triad Knights, who had only six losses all year, stand as the best memory for the ‘80 Bulldogs. . , § = ll eee 8 ee ee res ee . . % a, (Top Right) Putting everything he's got into it, senior Kent Knackstedt hurls a pitch in a home ballgame.

Baseball 125 Happy Ending JV’s Overcome Slow Start, Go 8-6 Baseball season for the JV Bulldogs started out to be a very dim one. The weather was bad and practice had to be held on the parking lot. But worse, the team's only coach, Mr. Thomas, was hospitalized and the squad had to adjust to a new substi- tute coach, Mrs. Thomas. Overcoming these barriers and a slow start on the field, the team man- aged to salvage a fine season. Be- hind the pitching of Jim Bugger, the team won several games. The end of the year was suddenly at hand and team owned a 5-6 record with 3 games to play. At this point, the team pulled together the strongest and went on to win the last 3, giving them a fine overall record of 8-6.

But, as the season progressed and the Bulldogs had locked up a winning year their goals became bigger and more extravagant. Owning the best tennis record in the school’s history was what the team now wanted. After an early season loss to perennial power O'Fallon, the team put together a winning streak that lasted to the end of the year. This gave the squad a 15- 1 record and the goal that seemed so extravagant was now accomplished. During this remarkable year the team finished first in the Highland Invitational, with everyone winning their division without the loss of a set. They placed second in the conference meet behind O'Fallon, placing the dou- bles teams of Mark Bumb-Russ Perfetti and Scott Pisaneschi-Dave Kunkel on the all-conference team. Wrapping up the season, the team finished second to Edwardsville in the district held in Highland. Making the big news at this tournament was again the doubles team of Bumb and Perfetti, as they won the title and advanced to the state tourney in Arlington Heights.

Then in her last high school race, she captured 10th place in the 3200 meter run at State. Next year Julie plans to run at Eastern Illinois University. Rinderer participated in three sports during his senior year: football, basketball, and track. He was cho- sen not only as lst team MVC—defensive halfback but also as 2nd team MVC—dquarterback for his football skills.

Why do some reach out for knowledge and others simply ask, ‘‘How much is this worth?’’ Kindergarten to Grade 8 shapes a student. The educational process can succeed to varying degrees and, sometimes, fail miserably. The high school teacher must assess each pupil's capabilities and meet his needs. One of the last steps in the preparation for adulthood, the high school teacher faces a diffi- cult task. The NHS faculty in- cludes over 50 teachers and ad- ministrators. Classes range from General Math to Calculus and Physics. Gaining admirers and re- spect, creating enemies and fear, HHS staff members attempt to im- part knowledge and guidance to over 900 students.

Introduction to Education 135 Although involved with much administrative paperwork, a Diefenbach still manages to keep abreast of all school activities. Diefenbach a . Retires, HHS Principal 22 years For most of us at HHS, he is just there. Whether quietly standing in the hall looking out over the commons or seated behind his desk, Paul J. Diefenbach, principal of HHS for the past 22 years, has made his presence felt. For some, he is the disciplinarian they don’t want to meet or know. For others, he is a friendly figure who listens and advises. To all he is very much a part of life at HHS. Mr. Diefenbach has not always stood in that fa-_ miliar spot. As an energetic teacher from Mis- souri, where he had taught for two years, Mr. Diefenbach came to HHS in the fall of 1952 to teach commerce. During his first years here, he taught not only commerce but also math and so- cial studies and also served as advisor to the Iris from 1952-1958 and of the school paper, the Bulldog, in 1958. A turn of events in 1959 placed him behind the principal’s desk. The tragic death of Mr. Joe White, principal, left a vacancy that needed to be filled quickly. The board of education selected Mr. Diefenbach for the position, a position he has held since that time. During these years as teacher and principal his influence has touched the lives of thousands of students and teachers. He has always been willing to listen to both sides of an issue. Those who know him have learned to read his facial barometer well, which moves from pink to red to purple usually indicating when limits have been met. All graduating classes will remember his two famous annual speeches. The first given at baccalaureate practice reminded the class that just couldn't manage to get lined up right that they had to be the dumbest he had ever seen come through four years of high school. The sec- ond, given at graduation commencement, intro- duced that same class to parents and friends by saying, with all sincerity, ‘This is our graduating class and I'm proud of them and the achieve- ments they have made.” With his retirement, HHS will lose a leader of great insight, an advisor who knew his students and teachers, a man of direction who has helped HHS grow from a school of 300 to one of over a 900 students. Most of all, we will lose a friend. 7 —— Members of the Board of Education are Mrs. Kay Drake, Mr. James Collmann, Mr. Carl Baumann, Mr. Ron Hemann, Superinten- dent Olin W.

Social studies...and studies... — Choices in the Social Studies Department range from the history of Illinois to the cultures of past and present world history; from capitalistic economy to a study of human behavior; from major issues facing Carter to the discovery and exploration of America starting with Co- lumbus. Students have no problem finding a history class that meets their needs and interests. To break the monotony of sometimes dull and dry history, the teachers find different techniques of enter- taining their classes. Mr. Bailey's puns, and jokes, Mr. Moore’s snow dance and Englishman act, and Ms. McWhorter's slides, tales of personal experiences and her Wooki are several examples of how the social stud- ies teachers enjoy just ‘being themselves.’ Because the teachers enjoy the classes, students, in turn, show more interest and enjoy the classes more also. The additional interest is resulting in larger classes. The College Prep American History class even had to split into two sepa- rate classes because of the greater enrollment this year. i. =e 4 Holding tightly to her Wooki, Ms. McWhorter protects her = . “friend” from the wild students of one of her world history classes.

From another area comes spontaneous laughter as Ms. Swafford pulls another joke from her endless sup- ply. Teachers in the business department use a variety of techniques and equipment to help students acquire skills in typing, shorthand, accounting and other areas of business. They provide experiences these students will need to get jobs in the competitive commercial field. Through the Co-op program, many students gain actual on-the-job experience. In addition to teaching valuable skills to students, HHS business teachers also operate under the philos- ophy that all work and no play make for a rotten day. Outside the classroom, one can usually find Ms. Swafford pulling a trick on a fellow teacher or telling a strange but humorous joke to some student, Mr. Cipicchio will be found on the track field coaching girls’ track or working with the boys’ wrestling team, while on weekends, Mr. Baker can be found playing his guitar and singing.

He believes that there have never been more opportunities or more freedom for students in education, sports, music and other areas of interest. One thing that bothers Mr. Roe is the lack of re- spect many students have for their school, oth- er students, teachers and especially them- selves. He especially enjoys seeing students achieve success in teaching and business ca- reers. After retiring, Mr. Roe and his wife, who re- tired three years ago after an 18 year teaching career, plan to continue to enjoy and support school activities as they always have. Keeping active in their church is a big part of their life Mr. Roe hopes also to have time for some hob- bies and would like to do minor repairs on homes. “We don't realize what advantages are of- fered until we grow older and can't come back to do them over, ’ commented Mr. Roe who worked very hard to teach his students the reality of this statement. He was a definite asset to HHS and highly respected by all stu- dents. His unique personality and most of all his famous ‘‘knucks”’ will certainly be missed.

Science is golden Living in a highly industrialized and technological age, many students have become interested in the scientific field. A number are going beyond the required courses in science and are taking two, three, and four years of science when only one is required. These classes prepare students for college courses which will be more difficult but in the same line of studies as the high school courses. Students in these classes are planning medical and pharmaceutical ca- reers and careers in fields of chemistry, statistics, and computer science also. Most of these careers can be high paying jobs, therefore, science is golden. ed Hapk,.

A calculated response Sometime during your first years of school you are taught 1 1 2 and other simple problems lik e these. These elementary rules and facts began a problem that would last all through high school working with num- bers. Simplicity soon becomes complexity. Moving from L t 2 “and “4-3 ¥ “to Ss-2y 32 and sin2x cos2y tan2x is no easy step. However, these difficult equations are possible to understand because all students were taught the simple basics so long ago. A noticeable change in math classes lately has made the complex a bit simpler. With the recent expanding use of calculators, the complicated mathematical oper- ations that once had to be worked out in longhand, now can be punched out on one of many styles and brands of calculators. To step into one of the higher math classes, such as trigonometry, is to step into a stock room of Texas Instrument and Sharp calculators.

English courses at HHS vary from those of general content to those relating to areas of specific focus for students interested in media, creative writing, fiction and drama. College Prep classes are a necessity for those plan- ning to further their schooling. Many students take ad- vantage of these programs and get the experience of doing college work. Because English is a major subject required of all students, the department contains the largest number of people at HHS. No matter what anyone plans for his fu- ture, it is important to know how to read and write.

Two new popular classes were Communica- tions I and II and Literary choices. Communications dealt with mass media (in the everyday world of radio and television) and also the use of creative writing spe- cializing in poetry. Literary choices involved much more independent study. Reading assignments were given and students were responsible for meeting their deadlines. Although the English courses include a vari- ety of classes, generally speaking teachers emphasize the importance of the basic skills.

The students did not have to have regular matches. They had only to show their instructor the posi- tions, correctly done, to receive their grade. Along with wrestling, the basics of basketball, hockey, badminton, and others were taught also. In their dif- ferent sports, students competed in tournaments during the time of that course. During the spring and fall quar- ters, classes were led outside for “fresh air and sunshine.” Soccer, tennis, and football were some of the activities taught outside. Getting lost on the way out to the soccer fields or softball diamonds was a major goal for many. Winter brought out unusual outfits. Students could be found wearing sweatsuits, long johns, and old rag- ged jeans. Just about anything could be seen on students in order to keep warm in the ‘‘cool”’ temperatures of the gym.

Everyone agrees that music provides entertain- ment and relaxation, and so does art but in a “'still’’ form. This year how- ever the commercial art class de- signed products and made “‘live” en- tertaining television commercials, showing another facet of vocational art. Other art classes dealt with crafts, painting and drawing in a more relaxed form. Besides being forms of entertainment and relax- ation, band and chorus at HHS are a good beginning for those planning a future in music. Hopefully, students will go out into the world appreciat- ing the fine arts more than before they enrolled in these classes.

Foreign affairs With wide spread travel being so common, it is impor- tant to be familiar with more than just the English lan- guage. HHS offers French, German and Spanish to in- form students not only of the basics of the language but of the culture, history and geography of the country as well. Learning any of these languages can be an ad- vantage since each one is spoken in many different places. There is a genuine interest in all foreign lan- guages but Spanish continues to have the largest en- rollment of the three. Mrs. Gloria B. Alarcon A.B.: Wash.

It’s there, if you reach for it - There is a niche for each student interested in media at HHS. Keeping students informed as to what has hap- pened in and around the school are the jobs of the Paw Print, the Iris, VTR and the media center. Paw Print, the school newspaper featuring articles on sports, activities, teachers and the students themselves provides experience in journalism. Because of the large number of first year staff members, there was much pressure on the experienced members to get the publi- cation to the local printer on time. Dedicated staff mem- bers learned that a school paper cannot be published in one hour a day and put in many hours after school to finish the paper. Iris, the school yearbook provides exposure in jour- nalism, layout design and photography. Because of many experienced members returning to the Iris staff, they were able to use new and different ideas. VTR, video tape recording, offers knowledge con- cerning television production, cameras, taping and in- terviewing. The staff gained much of their experience by filming and narrating sports activities. Taping projects in other classes and creating their own documentaries made it easy to comprehend what was actually happening when they visited KSDK television studio. The media center provides a place to study, read books, magazines and newspapers, gather information, look at film strips and listen to tapes on any subject imaginable. There are always librarians on hand to asist when help is needed. With all these advantages it is easy to see it's there if (Top) VTR staff (Front) Jay Rinderer, Christi Burke, Bruce Deibert, you reach for it.

Without the help of our custodians, small but important jobs would not be fulfilled. They clean the classrooms and pick up messes made by the students, fix leaks and they also perform many other jobs, such as setting up for outside school activities. They are busy before school starts and their hours extend into the night. “Along with the custodians are the familiar faces of the cafeteria workers who plan and prepare a variety of different food choices every day. These workers not only supply students with nutritious food but they help promote school spirit by dressing up on dress up days and making posters for special events. Although they are very busy during the noisy lunch hours they still find time to keep their smile as they serve others.

Somehow, under the pressure of being a freshman and the confu- sion of being new, a feeling of class spirit grows. Gaining more leadership, re- sponsibilities and privileges from year to year, each class develops an individual personality. Some classes are closer than others but nearly all students proudly de- clare their date of graduation — from 1980 to 1983. Through activities, such as sports, drama, band, Homecoming events, clubs and contests, stu- dents are given a chance to shine individually and also contribute to class spirit. (Above) Hamming it up as usual, Vince Zappia and Brent Thorley helped establish the Class of 1981's crazy and wild reputation.

There are many unpleasant tasks that freshmen are forced to do. One of the most unpopular of these tasks is initi- ation. Initiation is usually done in fun with such activities as pushing pennies, counting lockers with their noses, car- rying trays back to the cafeteria or singing ‘We Love You Seniors.” Freshmen are usually the shortest, most gullible, and the most easily con- fused.

Since fresh- men are not sixteen years old, they can not drive. They are stuck with the mis- fortune of riding the bus until they get their license. Because of their inexperience, they have to struggle through some school activities, such as H-I-G-H-L-A-N-D spirit competition. During the Home- coming week events, freshmen lacked the experience of the other classes. Being the little brother or sister at HHS, is not always pleasant. Because of the great number of brother sister pairs at HHS, it becomes hard for freshmen to defend themselves against senior rel- atives. It is also difficult for the younger brother or sister to establish their own identity after following their brother or sister.

Freshmen 171 ° Settled in for Three More Years The freshmen year is a time of learning and gaining experience. Freshmen spend their first year of high school getting to know the system. They learn about the policy of getting passes for being tardy, absent, or just to go to the library. Taking semesters is a new exper- ience for freshmen which they have to get adjusted to for at least one more year. As freshmen the class lacked the experience of the other basketball and football teams. They had the abili- ty and potential but not the good fortune to win.

If it isn’t bad enough that seniors are always heckling them, freshmen are introduced to cafeteria food. Sure they were warned about the cafeteria but nobody told them Cook's Choice was so. . . original. These are not the only problems, however. In mid-January, freshmen take their first, unwanted semester exams. Long hours of studying and lenghtened hours of test taking take their toll on the inexperienced fresh- men. Freshmen sports record also often take a beating. This year the frosh went through the entire football and basketball seasons without winning a game. The determination and ability was there, but fate had turned against them. When you're a freshman, the whole year seems like a bummer. The odds are against you. You're a little too little, you don't know what to expect, and, even if you do, it's usually unwanted. The worst is there are three more years to come. Possi- bly the best thing to say about fresh- man year is that once is enough. i In Memory Of Lori Kay Augustin February 15, 1965-August 12, 1979 Lori was actively involved in the Marching.

Once li- censed drivers, they no longer have to ask for rides or rely on their parents to take them. But with a license come new responsibilities and new experiences. To get their license, sophomores must firs t pass a nine week course entitled Safety. In this class, they learn the rights and lefts of driving which also includes twelve hours of behind-the-wheel training. In this part of the class, they learn to feel more comfortable handling a car with other people. This year Mr. Singleton was the behind-the-wheel in- structor who everyone hoped to drive with. He drove the new 1979 Firebird. (Right)During Safety class students learn valuable information about driving.

Sophomores 185 The Ringing Tradition An important tradition, during the sopho- more year, is ordering class rings. The deci- sion is a hard one to make because there are so many styles to select from. Students can choose from round, square or even petite rings. A variety of symbols can be put on the rings to represent favorite activites, such as music, sports, clubs or even academics. The other side of the ring traditionally displays the Bulldog mascot. This year the price for class rings doubled as the price of gold soared past the $800 mark, Even though class rings cost over $100, students still carry on the tradition of exchanging rings with that special someone.

Everybody pretty well knows the teachers and how to get around them. Knowing who collects homework, who gives quizzes, and who takes a strict roll helps in trying to do as little as possible to get the best possible grade. By junior year, most people know how to skip and not get caught. Leaving campus for an occasional lunch at McDonalds or Kens can prove great for the health if you don’t get caught. Forgetting a book or going to the bathroom can usually turn into a fifteen minute excur- sion if planned right. But knowing the system isn’t sitive getting out of it. Being the first year for needing a pass to get upstairs over lunch hours instituted a new mini-system.

As juniors, this system can be very aggrevating. Junior year you start writing research papers, working on Iris, trying to put out Paw Prints, and doing other class projects, but unless you have a pass you can’t work on them over your lunch hour. Systems come and systems go. As a junior, gone are the days of exams and needing passes for absences, but new policies made up for it. For the first time if students skipped, they took exams. Also for the first time every- body had to pass Phys. Ed. in order to graduate. Some changes are for the best and some the worst, but changes happen.

Plays, a musical, and banquets are given. The Me- dia Center is open all day, sport- ing events happen all year long, and the Band marches through summer and fall. All these require student help and time. Many activities can be done after school hours, but others can't. Activities which require school equipment usually have to be done during school hours. Fa- cilities such as the darkroom, uni- versal gym, TV cameras, etc., all have strict usage times. To allow for this, Super Studies, lunch hours, and some class time is sac- rificed.

The athlete does it, dress up days give everyone a chance to do it, and cheerleaders do it with spirit. As juniors, showing off comes more easily. They know what to do, how to do it, and, more importantly, how to get by with it. A certain amount of skill is needed to show off and not look like it. Likewise, skill’s needed to show off and not get sent to the office. Only the experienced show-offs can successfully do both, but everyone keeps trying to do it.

However, you're stuck doing both. One of the biggest or best known groups ie selling is the junior class. Juniors play hosts to the seniors at the Junior-Senior Prom and for a good prom, money is need- ed, so the juniors sell and sell. A tradition is started that all girls must have a mum for Homecoming—sold by the junior class. Juniors sell candy at basketball games, and for the first time, football games. Prom favors and tickets and other odds and ends are also sold by the junior class. Its important to remember when buying the juniors’ little goodies, that without the profits, the Junior-Senior Prom would probably not be possible.

Seniors 209 Everybody’s Talking | | Talking is a large part of high school. These are different forms of ¢ talking, however. There's the way friends talk to each other, and the Tod way a girl talks to her boyfriend or vice-versa. No matter how they talk, everyone does it. They talk before school, in between classes, at lunch, and much to the teacher's distress, during classes. Students talk to pass time, ask questions, find answers, make friends, etc, but never do they talk as much as during their senior year. Perhaps it's because, after four years, they all know each other, or because their classes are more relaxed. Most likely, however, it's because they won't see each other for very much longer. What ever the reasons for talking, a steady hum of voices can al- ways be heard in the halls of HHS. (Top) Finding Ms. Bell very helpful, Adgie Homoky discusses her last plans for college.

Little boys give up dreams of putting out fires and hitting homeruns. Suddenly you have lost the fear of teachers; sometimes, you can’t even respect them. You can drink soda or chew gum in school or even smoke cigarettes, if you want. Nobody rides the bus and everyone guiltlessly forges ex- cuses from their parents. One thing never changed. There was always one more year, one more semester, one more day. Until now. THIS IS IT, you suddenly re- alize, I'M A BIG KID NOW.
