The awards ceremony, held on May 20, 1985 in the gym, recognized some of the students who are outstanding in both school and in the community. Awards were given to Lisa Brusask for her outstanding community involvement and leadership qualities. The Daughters of the American Revolution Award, the Girl Scout Gold Award, the I Dare You Award, and many others. Jeff Buchmiller also received many awards for his academic abilities. He received the I Dare You Award and was also named valedictorian of his senior class. Students who are involved in the community go beyond the doors of HHS. They may work in town establishments, play the organ in church, sing in choirs, or work voluntarily on many different projects. Students such as these give their time and talents unconditionally. They, however, are the people that go unsung. 1976. Tornado in Highland fire at the Mill in New Douglas. Todd Korte. Maria Molina. Cut a record. Suzie Waller.

Anne Livingston tries her hardest to win the championship for the flipper race during Homecoming week. The Student Life section was put together by Julie Debatin, Suzie Waller, Karen Wil- liams, Paul Davis, Jeff Siegrist, and Laure: Students travel around the game board through certain categories and those who encounter the area of student life are in for a potpourri of questions and answers concerning everyday life, survival, leisure time, and community involvement. These are the students concerned with school and the town itself. They may play sports, sit in the bands, sing in the choruses, get involved in clubs and committees, and busy themselves by enjoying life as a student. Their interest also goes beyond the classroom into the community. Many students work in establishments in town for pay or even voluntarily, go to church activities, play in municipal bands, go to various club meetings, and get involved in community sponsored activities. Student life also includes taking each block of the gameboard in stride, making difficult decisions, and encountering the unexpected. When was the new high school building completed?!
