Rehkemper, Devin Wille, Cindy Hester, Rob McCord, Christi Essenpreis and Kevin Gaffner a touch of class October 31st is known to all as the evening to perform ghostly antics. But this year, HHS stu- dents donned formals and flowers instead of their gruesome Halloween masks. Because of a scheduling conflict with the Home- coming football game, Mr. Singleton had no choice but to have the Coronation on Halloween. This may have kept some vandals off the street, but the holiday required the Student Council to pay a policeman to keep tricksters out of the high school parking lot during the Coronation. At the bewitching hour of eight o’clock the coro- nation began. Each couple took the traditional bows and the evening came to a close with the crowning of Queen Connie Holzinger and King Tom Switzer. Freshman Court Members: Jeff Dubach, Robin Hartleib, Gina Langhauser, and Ben Hanna Connie Holzinger and Tom Switzer (Top) are the newly crowned 1981 Queen and King of Highland High School Colorful decorations (Left) designed by the added an extra touch of class to “The World’s Student Council Fair.”

Drama productions chose a children’s theatre, Winnie the Pooh and selections from three Broadway musicals as their fall and winter entertainment. The 13-member cast of Winnie the Pooh, directed by Ms. Suzanne Hill, found many hurdles in their journey through the 100 Acres Woods. Hand- made costumes and hours spent in the make-up chair molded each cuddly character for the theatre in-the-round production. Colorful costumes, bright scenery and lively characters proved to be popular especially with a young audience. Segments of 42nd Street, West Side Story, and Pippin were selected for the winter pro- duction. Student director Dawna Breuer, under the guidance of Ms. Hill, chose an 11-member ror=T) a CoM cele) (e ME-WEIT-V 9-1 CMR) Mol tT- e-em ters, songs, and dance in two evening performances of ‘“‘Bits and Pieces.’’ On the final evening, after the sets were stripped and the performers changed, the snow which had fallen so quietly outdoors, turned into a vicious storm, - cancelling the cast party. The two evenings of “Bits and Pieces” came to a fascinating but abrupt end.
