Medina, Ohio Through the years we have progressed together in harmony and friendship each time attaining more success and reaching higher goals than before. We look back only to find our mistakes and correct them, for we want to build a present and a future built on our past. Traveling together through the iridescence of fall, the bitter- ness of winter and the freshness of spring, we have experienced many joys, and sorrows, successes and failures. But no matter how painful or how happy, each new encounter helps us to de- velop a clean mind and sparkling personality. We shall continue to journey together until we have achieved our ambitions. Although most of our memories are not written down, in the following pages we have tried to capture a tangible reminder of a few of the important memories of our past school year. Spring is the time of lightheartedness and gaiety. It is the time when Mother Nature removes the cloak of a barren landscape and adds fresh new beauty to her trees and hills and skies. Spring at Highland also means gaiety. Students remove the cloak of drudgery of the long winter and look forward to new sports, new spirits and first new proms. Spring at our Alma Mater is climaxed by the seniors’ com- mencement. But this is not the end, only the beginning. Sports mean fun a Proud athletes accept awards at the Athletic Banquet. The awarding of letters to Highland’s out- standing athletes takes place at the Athletic Ban- quet each year. Each coach recognizes his best players and congratulates them for their spirit and cooperation throughout the season. Fea- tured at the 1960 Banquet was Mr. Marvin Frye. barger accepts a a Coach Gienke. Mr. Marvin Frye, basketball coach from Heidel- berg College speaks about the sacrifices one must make in order to have the honor of partici- pating in high school sports. VO Gnas ‘ive == The Senior-Faculty Game is one of the more humorous events on Highland’s busy calendar. Principal participants in this game are the senior G.A.A. girls, the senior boys, and the faculty Retreads. at Highland Donkeys are victorious over faculty. Last year the Booster Club sponsored a donkey basketball game, the first one at Highland. The teams composed of the faculty, seniors, G.A.A., and Varsity H, played one another each quarter. The teams were dressed in their best uniforms and every- one retained the dignity that goes with the sport of Donkey Basketball. The experiment proved a hilarious success pro- ducing both laughs and money to help buy lights for the football field. ee ih Stubborn as a mule was the motto of this night. down. | if { ‘ | Determination is what one needs to mount this donkey!

They were coached by Mr. Michener. The positions held by the boys were: Art Cartwright, sec- ond and third base; Jim Kosman, pitcher; Bill Beatty, first base; Bob Damon, right field; Rudy Zapctoczky, third base and left field; Jim Wagner, short stop; Tim Hood, catcher; Dave Cobb, second base; Jim Klesack, center field and pitcher; John Minch, center field; Jerry Kalmeyer, right field; Bob Schiele, center field; Jon Van Arsdell, short stop; Lance Copperman, right field; and Larry Krause, manager outfield. Track Team finishes third in county. The Highland track team having taken top honors in the county for four years straight, had to settle for third place during the 1960 season. Several members of the Highland team did take firsts in the county meet. Dick Sponseller copped the high jump and pole vault. Bill Gray in the shot put, and Bill Renner in the pole vault were able to capture blue ribbons. Other prominent members of the squad were Wil- son Pritt and Tim Gallatin, miles; Larry Copperman, Dave Reiff, and Gary Burton, dashman; Dan Connors, high jumper; Larry Brandel, discus thrower; and Mike Galbraith, middle distance runner.

Highland’s music groups present Spring Concert. eS ere The chorus presented a number directed by Mrs. Day. Aiming toward perfection and reaching success, Highland delivered an excellent concert last spring with the help of both junior and senior high schools. Sharing the honors were junior and senior high choruses, girl’s glee club, ensembles, bands, and soloists. The freshman girls ensemble sang in part of the Spring concert. Career Day prepares us for the future. Mr. S. A. Stine addressed the student body in a general assembly on the Career Day activi- ties. The students at Highland were given a good opportunity to think about future vocations while they listened to trained experts describe the aspects of varied professions Students interested in law as a career discussed the pros and cons with Mr, Furlong. 10 Scichelee Green 2 pen lee ae Minerva. 7 Oe ae Ethel Oo Miss Delaware-Water- Gap « Blind Date . .

FootForward.”’ Ingredients—a prep school prom, a group of long dateless seniors and their girls, a strict prin- cipal, and a glamorous movie star. Treatment— generous mixing, a pinch of intrigue, and an ample amount of confusion. Result—a delight- ful comedy entitled “Best Foot Forward” di- rected by Mrs. Ludwig. All in all, the presen- tation turned out to be a great success as the juniors put their “Best Foot Forward.” Cindy Sherman, Ed Liebenguth, Sandy Bodley, Bob Warner, Gail “Make that basket,’’ was a familiar sound rising from the Student Council Carnival. Surprised, Sue checks on the special door prize of the evening, Iara the lamb. StudentCouncil puts on Carnival. One of the many duties of the Student Council is to sponsor a carnival. The 1960 carnival, planned and run by the Student Council members, proved to be profitable and fun for everyone. Many door prizes were given away, including a lamb as the special prize. National Honor Society initiates new members. Every spring the National Honor Society initiates its probationary members. Chosen by the faculty on the basis of scholarship, character, leadership, and service, the juniors received their pins and took the vow of membership in an assembly open to all. They were thus pledged to uphold the high ideals of the Highland chapter of the National Honor Society. NATIOWAL The newly initiated members are, First Row: Jackie Girman, Sue Cobb, Sue Taylor, Cathy Simpkins, Gail Davis, Terry Burton. Second Row: Becky Geiger, Diane Jones, Elaine Shade, Claire Hooven, Elaine Myers. tt May Day festivities May Day proved to be much fun at Highland. Mr. Gienke gives the signal for the be- ginning of the race. Trying to win points for his class, each boy races to the finish line. Last spring we at Highland tried a new idea, sponsored by the Student Council. We held May Day festivities by playing team games in which each class competed for a trophy. Many races turned out to be hilarious events of fun for all those who participated. We hope to continue this event for years to come. Our candid camera finds the students waiting for the next event. 12 rovide fun for all. The May Dance added Beauty and charm to our school. The attendants and their escorts await the Queen’s Dance. They are: Pat Cekanski and John Girman, Doris Mong and Jerry Lucas, Sue Cobb and Tim Gallatin, Larry Brandel and Queen Terry Burton, Gary Burton and Pat Eckelberry, Don Akers and Sandy Bodley, and Dick Sponseller and Roberta Khoenle. Delicately scented flowers decorated in um- brellas filled the air with beautiful aromas, the night of the 1960 May Dance. Even though the crowd was tense and everyone was awaiting the secret of who would be crowned queen, they made the gaiety of spring come alive. This dance was one of the many successful dances sponsored by the Student Council. The queen of the 1960 May Dance, Terry Burton. The queen and her attendants are: Roberta Khoenle, sophomore at- tendant; Pat Eckelberry, junior attendant; Sandy Bodley, junior at- tendant; Queen Terry; Sue Cobb, junior attendant; Doris Mong. senior attendant; and Pat Cekanski, freshman attendant. 14 The 1960 “April Mist” Prom The Juniors and Seniors enjoyed themselves while dancing to the music of Al Day. Bowling was the popular sport at our Prom. The 1960 Junior-Senior Prom with the theme “April Mist” began at Iacomini’s in Akron with tne banquet and dancing. From there everyone proceeded first to the movie, “Vertigo,” then to the bowling lanes, then to breakfast, and finally home for a good day’s sleep. Was everyone still awake at breakfast time? We're not quite sure about these. Excited Seniors leave for New York. For four years the seniors worked to make a dream come true—their Senior Class Trip. Having earned the money. last May they left for a whirlwind tour of New York. They left the high school at 4:00 and boarded the train in Akron, Ohio ... then to New York. They visited Rockefeller Center, Coney Island, The Empire State Building and many of the other sights visited by tourists each year. Four days later, the group arrived home, tired but happy, with more knowl- edge of the great city. The class waits to load the bus and be on their way at last. = Seniors accept awards for outstanding Scholarship and Sportsmanship. The seniors are presented to the student body. At the Senior Awards Assembly each year, seniors re- ceive awards for their achievements during their last high school days. They are presented as a whole to the student body for the last time before commencement. Chuck Raw receives the Hardman Award from Mr. Gienke. ienke 15 The 1960 Graduation. The newly graduated Seniors of 1960. The Seniors listen attentively to the speaker, Senator Ocasek. May 24 marks a memorable occasion to many of our past classmates. After work- ing for twelve years their schooling is cli- maxed by commencement. The Seniors stand in line to shake hands with congratulators. 16 Unlike Nature’s cycle, fall is the start of a new school year at Highland. Our stu- dents return fresh from summer activi- ties with renewed vows to work harder and to get better grades. The band and football team have already returned for pre-season prac- lice. In the cool morn- ings while the leaves are changing from ereen to gold, we hear talk of new teachers, new students, and new classrooms. The af- ternoons are filled with the rythmic drum cadences and counting of the band as full rehearsals start. The thud of a foot meeting a foot- ball, quarterbacks calling signals, and coaches’ whistles, all signify that football practice, too, is well underway. Yes, fall has surely come to Highland. - Highland High Schoo School Board | The School Board is pictured here as they hold one of their many meet- ings to discuss problems and the solutions to these problems to help better our school. They are: Mr. Edwin J. Kraus, Mr. Howard Cart- wright, Mr. Glen D. Kaufman, President; Mrs. Evelyn Brunskill, Clerk; Mr. William Kelly and Mr. Alva G. Donkin. 18 Administration Doing the Job We Like Many a doctor sacrifices his health and strength in administering to others that they may have health again. The thrill that he gets from this service is a power of enjoyment to him that nothing else could give. And so he gives and sacrifices and is happy with his job. So it is with all other efforts. If this power of en- joyment is kept alive, it will carry one into a career of success and happiness. The idea of doing the job we like holds good in all walks of life. But in doing that job we must not over- look the fact that the job must be done honestly and with full consideration for all mankind. It is often said that a great deal of business is car- ried on without regard to the Golden Rule. Yet when an effort is made to apply it, there is a strange resur- gence of good will between the parties involved and a spurt of stability and prosperity which simply doesn’t exist among those who follow the dog-eat-dog method. L. O. Vermillion, Superintendent Age of Decision President John F. Kennedy in his inaugural address launched our country into a “New Frontier.” The suc- cess of this “New Frontier” depends so much upon every citizen assuming his own resvonsibilities, and knowing what he ought to do. “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” Following commencement, the decision is yours. For most of you your formal education is over. It is yours to decide whether you are going to be part of the prob- lem or its solution. Be prudent as to whom you emu- late. Stimulate your actions by clear thinking and not by emotion. Revitalize your spirit with positive think- ing. Have courage to stand up for your own convic- tions. A man does what he must—in spite of personal consequences—that is the basis of all human morality. Richard W.

Highland’s Homecoming Highland’s fighting Hornets fought their way to this year’s greatest victory the night of the Homecoming by handing Brunswick a shatter- ing 22-8 defeat beneath the new football lights. This victory, combined with the hard work of the Booster Club to install our new football lights, and the scoreboard donated by the senior class, made this the best homecoming ever. Queen Sue Cobb, with her attend: ants, Vivian Reeves, Noreen Snyder, Sue Taylor, Cherry Nell, Becky Gei- ger, Sue Scharff, begins her reign at the Homecoming game.

Highland’s 14 Message from the Coach To become a member of the Highland High School’s football team takes a great deal of sacrifice on the part of each player. Most of the players had to give up good paying summer jobs early so that they could play football. They also had to give up two weeks of their summer vacation plus many nights after school to become a part of this school function. The team members did this not because they had to do it, but because they wanted to do it. With this submission by the players to their school and coaches, we want to thank them for giving us good, hard, exciting football. It is hoped that the 1960 football team will take from this school the fight. spirit, sportsmanship and teamwork that they learned so well on the playing field.

These are the band officers for 1960-61: Roberta Khoenle, Secre- tary; Cathy Frase, Treasurer; Ginger Gabriel, Vice President; Allan Smith, President. A band is a basic component of’ any successful football season. Highland’s under the direction of Mr. Lester Eckart and led by head majorette Cherry Nell, is always on hand to cheer the team onto victory. But the band’s activities do not cease with the onslaught of winter. A twenty-four piece pep band continues the task of keeping up school spirit by playing at the pep meetings. The band also participates in two concerts each year and is rep- resented in the annual county music contest. The majorettes that led our band this year were: Roberta Khoenle, Ginger Gabriel, Cherry Nell, head majorette; Joen Ardy, and Carolyn Becks. a7 First Row: B. Potts, R. Lucht, R. McClellan, D.

Perhaps this is the busiest time in our school year, for we are all finally “in the full swing of things.” Every week one of our schools’s organi- zations is planning for dances, pep-meet- ing assemblies, and other activities. But, as everyone knows, life isn’t all play. Indeed we at Highland are cer- tainly aware of this fact. From daily as- signments to six- months-in-advance term papers, we stu- dents aren’t left with many minutes to spare. When we do find a little extra time, you can be sure that most of us will be seen at our basketball games. Are we busy? Yes, but that is what makes our school days interesting and fun. Kneeling: B.

With the freshman squad garnishing only three of ten games, the reserve squad three of fifteen, and the Varsity five of nineteen; it seemed a long time between victories for the Highlanders.

As he entered her village, he saw a blobby object lying in the road, but it was too late to stop. Soon after, he accidently ran across Bob Abbott with his bearskin on. From a near-by cave Elaine Shade frantically ran out to help the ever effer- vescent cave man. He then sent her back to her cave to beat the message on her animal skin to call.the Police, led by the fearful leader, Dale Kasco, and his fearful foursome: Denny Day, Dave Reiff, Bob Schiele, and Rudy Zapotoczky. With these boys, the job should be a cinch. Ho ho, whom are we kidding! They sped to the scene as fast as their dinosaurs could take them, with their mascot and part-time water boy, Joyce Coleman. They came to a halty stop and observed the situation. After clever observation on the part of Cindy Sherman, Dan Connors, and Jim Gerbe- rich, they concluded that the car on top of the body must have led to the poor cave man’s accident. Sarah Balke examined the body for footprints. . Melvin Glover cleverly tried to take the pulse of the sunken cave man, but all he could get was the rhythm to “I’m All Shook Up.” There was no sign of life in the mass of bearskin. The driver of the car was questioned as to the cause of the accident by those quick, cunning, foxy, detectives, Sally Dale, Sue Cobb, and Carol Estep. Pat Buettner and Peg Sewalish strapped Wilson to their armadillo and threw Wilson in the clink, right on top of Glenn Bean and Jim Wagner, who had also been thrown in because they had been drag racing their dinosaurs. Wilson couldn’t sleep that night because of the Cave- nik party held by Chuck Zindle and Roger Pellet. As morning dawned, Cathy Simpkins brought him a tasty breakfast from her “Smelly Kitchen.” Then he was carefully and cautiously dragged into the courthouse by Linda Brogan, and Carolyn Good, and whom should he find as the Supreme Judge but Rick Harris! The jury was a frightful group too, composed of Bill Young, Allan Smith, Cherry Nell, Linda Piero, Sandy Bodley, and Mary Ann Smith. It was obvious that a Cavenik party was attended by all and that there was still a faint odor of mosquito juice. Representing the defendant was the hot-headed, fightin’ Gail Davis. Poor Wilson! Everyone wanted to begin the trial, but the judge hadn’t finished crushing ice for his toothache. Record- ing the case was Claire Hooven, who didn’t get much done, because she had to take spastic pills every five minutes. After a long and tedious examination, Terry (Sher- lock) Burton revealed evidence that proved the victim had already been lying dead in the ditch, intoxicated, for his mosquito juice jug was found in a near-by ditch. Because of this evidence Wilson was acquitted. Every- one was waiting for Judge Harris’s remark, but he wasn’t through crushing the ice yet. After the trial, Wilson proceeded to the Police Station to pick up his car which had been impounded. He then 82 took it to Bill Renner’s “Fender Bender Garage.” The car was a complete mess. The victim had displaced the whole front end. This-would call for some expert service on the part of the fanatics, Tim Gallatin, Tom Farkas, and Roger Lutz. After the completion of the repairs the stone wheels made the car tip forward, the windows now were on the roof, and the trunk, well it was non-existent. After this marvelous repair job, the car was wheeled to the “Wash and Dry” shop of Don Akers and Rick Bush for a cleaning. Don washed and Rick dried. Wilson then went into Janice Maki’s marvelous Milk Bar, for a refreshing drink, (milk, that is). As he en- tered, he immediately noticed a string of girls doing their famous Cha Cha Cha. Those hotsy-totsy girls were Pat Eckelberry, Pat Kamps, Elaine Myers, and the spec- tacular Patt Scharff, led by the dazzling, high-swinging classy Buddy Harshbarger. The three bartenders, Hal Hildebrand, Joe Demeter, and Kenny Fleeman, were busy making their milk cocktails. Ed Liebenguth was the very efficient bouncer. Diane Jones and Bob Jelen sang “Milk Gets in Your Mouth.” Finally, Wilson got tired, and went to the local rooming cave to spend the night. He checked into the joint and was greeted by the desk clerk, Jim Schmidt, and his bags were taken to his nook in the wall by Carole Hrbac. He sent for some more blankets and his call was immediately an- swered by Phyllis Kreider and Bonnie Kennedy, who obligingly threw them through the door. He couldn’t get to sleep because his bed was too short and his feet kept sticking out. So he called in the local carpenters, Jim Whitacre, Bob Warner, Larry Kramer, and their apprentice, Sue Taylor. They rapidly began to remake the bed to fit his big feet. In the next nook, Jackie Girman, Fern Leatherman, Myrna McAllister, Becky Geiger, and Nina Olsen, were having a card party, and were making too much noise every time they would lay down a card. This aggra- vated our poor little man, and he became furious. He started to knock on the wall, and they knocked back, only they knocked the wall down! All were thrown out, baggage, cards, and remade bed. When Wilson heard the two policemen, Art Wall and Cliff Watson, blowing their whistles that they got for Christmas, he pulled himself together and started running toward his car, but it had been stolen by Dorothy VanDeusen, Nancy Weidanz, and Art Steinbrunn. What would he do? He then stole a dinosaur from Karen Hausman’s “Used Dinosaur Lot,” and quickly peeled away toward his grandmother’s house. How did he know that the dinosaur had banana legs! Wilson made it to her house, but as he took the last step to her door, he eagerly read the sign that was there. It said “Gone to visit my grandson.” P.S. Didn’t know he was Little Red Riding Hood, did you? Senior Activities BOB ABBOTT Junior Play; Senior Play.
