This gave them third place in the conference. Returning lettermen were Dan Willeford and Mark Yokum. Dan was also Highland’s best runner. Other seniors on the team were Toni Pecora, the only girl runner, and Per-Olaf Hanssen, our foreign exchange student. Co-Captains Dan Willeford and Mark Yokum...

Rick Kolar says, “It’s good!” YORE Pm at Ves) 6 ®. i yy Py f 4 ? oom By ‘ ya Al ala Team co-captains Dutch Baker and Jon Dick. Football Entering the suburban league proved a challenge to head coach Ring, and his tactics centered around capitalizing on other team’s mistakes. Coach Ring was also proud of the work the defense did. Credits to our defense were Rocky Paliotto, senior hard-hitting linebacker, who man- aged to intercept two passes in the first five games, and Nick Schkurko, who added a dazzling job in the defensive backfield. Starring with an exceptional job in passing was co-captain Dutch Baker, who also added two inter- ceptions in one game to his credit. The other co-captain was returning letterman Jon Dick. It is morale that wins the victory. 25 “Do you think that play will work?” The freshman team: Bottom row — D. Gelb, E. Eisman, K. Bell, D. Gangle, S. Meyers, M. Paoletta, R. Jessenovic, P. Nagel, B.

Homecoming 1976 Homecoming 1976 was well at- tended by over two hundred people. Those in attendance were entertained by the band “Sand Dog”. Having been named queen at the bonfire on Thursday evening, Diane Brantner reigned along with her court, as seen above. ‘The Wiz- ard of Oz’ was chosen as the theme and became the focal point of the activities both on Friday night at the football game and on Saturday in the gym as it was transformed into the Land of Oz. 28 Time is the rider that breaks youth. Brian Baker, crown bearer, and flower bearer Paulette Keck. Life is half spent before we know what it is. 29 Volleyball Ending the season with a 2-5 record, the Volleyball téam had a better-than-it- sounds year. With many games going into overtime, returning letterpersons Cheryl Paytosh and Sue Sexauer contrib- uted greatly. Also adding to the girls advantage in the new league’s fierce competition was the attendance of a vol- leyball camp by Sue Sexauer, LuAnn Tsipis, and Jill Santee during their sum- mer vacation. Coach Pucci was very satisfied with the girls’ efforts, as was team captain and chief motivator Cheryl Paytosh. oo sr - sioe a Jill Santee anticipates a hit.

In addition to regu- lar season matches, the golf team participated in the Brunswick Tour- nament. Many of the regular season matches were played at Sharon Country Club and practice was held at the Western Reserve Golf and Country Club. 32 We are not all capable of everything.

Marching Band This year’s Marching Band saw two major changes, one: new uni- forms (pictured opposite page) done in the true Scottish Highland style, and even more important the addition of a new director, Mr. Giordano. Under the direction of Mr. “G”, the band presented many enter- taining half-time shows and took third place in field and parade maneuvers in the Western Reserve Tournament of Bands at Wad- sworth, in the AA class.

N.H.S. and Y-Teens The Y-Teens are teenage mem- bers of the Y.W.C.A. They are a service club and attempt to be help- ful to the community. One of their biggest projects is the sale of Carna- tions for Valentine’s Day. Although postponed by weather difficulties, it is hoped to be rescheduled and a SUCCESS. The National Honor Society is a group of select students who are chosen on the basis of their lead- ership, scholarship, character, and service qualities. Part of the ex- citement of belonging to the N.H.S. is the induction ceremony when new members are “tapped”’. HONOR, SOCIETY ey N.H.S. members attending the J. V.

School Aides Thanks to the numerous small jobs that our school aides have done, all the big jobs were made possible. Coaches’ and athletes’ problems could be tended to because of all the help Mr. Cranston’s aides have given him by running errands and doing clerical work. The library aides have gained in- valuable experience as to how a library operates and have certainly made use of the library much more pleasant. The cafeteria has been kept run- ning at a smooth pace due to the work of the cafeteria workers. In the process they have learned what courtesy and cooperation are all about. The office and counselors’ office workers have certainly made use of both these places nicer by helping both students and faculty. Mr. Cranston’s aides — Bottom: L. Rostas, D. Brantner, S.

Basketball Entering the Suburban League proved a challenge, if not a surprise to the basketball team. Leadership came from co-captains Jon Dick and Dean Tsipis, while other senior standouts were Rocky Paliotto and Mark Yokum. A hinderance to the season came when injuries put Bill Jones and Larry Grindle on crutches, and benched Craig McDuffee with a broken finger. Helping from the bench when fouls got heavy were Dan McVay, Mark Snyder, Mark Bury, and Paul Lindenmuth. Also assisting the Fleet were coaches “Mouse” With- erup and Fred Pollock. Mike Bonezzi and Mark Bohai devoted much time to managing the Varsity and Junior Varsity teams. 54 What is now to be done will never again come. SO ST Ee RS AE A EE J.V.

Wrestling Though there were several weak- nesses in the wrestling team’s per- formance, the major being the in- experience of some of the starting line-up, Coach Florian was satisfied with the turn out of events. He said they displayed the best attitude he had seen in his four years as coach at Highland. After losing to Brunswick in the season’s first match, the team became much stronger and the line-up more solid. “Gee, I never learned how to tango like this in my dance lessons.” To give is honor — to lose is grief. 59 60 He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves and sharpens our skill.

Lead by three year letterperson Cheryl Pay- tosh, the team was supported by the experience of Sue Sexauer, Cindy Cahill, and Paula Moon. Devotion was shown as the girls maintained a practice schedule throughout the temporary school closing due to the shortage of gas. With the large number of girls who turned out for the program, it looks as if girls sports are finally on their way. “Basketball, Cheryl, not ballet.” 62 To friendship every burden is light.

Ed. classes. 78 The years don’t last as long as you think they are going to. Art and Music The art and music departments at HHS saw several changes this fall. Mrs. Melrose (at left) had a student teacher, Miss Taylor (lower left) to help with classes while gaining valu- able experience. New to the music area at Highland was Mr. Giordano, the band director, who was not avail- able when pictures were taken. Mr. Ruddock (shown below) directed the vocal end of the music dept.

Courses. The courses offered range from cooking and sewing, to typing and shorthand, to metal and woodworking. It is hoped that students involved will use some of these skills learned in jobs and other areas once they finish school. Mrs. Roser and Mrs. Cole were not available when the pic- tures were taken.

The Joint (JVS) has opened up many doors for students, not only from Highland but also Black River, Brunswick, Buckeye, Cloverleaf, and Medina. The available career training pro- grams offered range from art com- munications to horticulture. In many programs projects are done such as rebuilding and overhauling an engine in Auto Mechanics. The experiences learned in the “Joint” helps gain the students em- ployment or to continue their edu- cation.

Administration The main purpose of the Board of Education is to form the policies and programs used in the manage- ment of the Highland Local Schools. In addition to this, the Board devoted much time to the passing of the bond issue in the November 1976 election. They re- ceived much assistance in this mat- ter from Mr. Cowger and Mr. Baum, the new assistant superintendent. The school board also worked on keeping the community informed by holding open forums on school and school related issues in the fall. They also published a newsletter as a public service. Mrs. Baum is the assistant clerk. Education has for its object the formation of character. 89 Mr. James Stone, Principal ae S Miss Dybiec, guidance counselor Mrs. Winter, secretary 90 The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without a teacher.

They have banquets throughout the year such as Father — Daughter and Mother — Daughter. At the end of the year they usually have a campout — pic- nic. The Future Teachers of America is not necessarily all students who wish to enter the teaching profes- sion. It is a group who are inter- ested in helping and tutoring any- one that needs it, though they are usually sent to the middle school. In the Spring they are given the opportunity to teach for two days in any chosen class. Y.F.C. is a group of students who are believers in Christ. The meet- ings are varied — every other one an “Impact” meeting of study and thought, while the intermingled ones are for fun. When you have to choose, anyway you look at it you lose. 117 Language Clubs The language clubs give the members a chance to practice their skills in other than a class- room atmosphere. Any person who is or has taken a language may belong to the respective clubs.

Student Council; © Racquet Ball; Varsity H The Student Council is a group of elected students who attempt to keep students informed as to school policies. Their actual power is lim- ited but they try hard. The Council sponsors sock-hops, Homecoming, a talent show and various other events throughout the year. Racquet ball took the place of tennis this year. The participants play once a week at Springside Ra- quet Club and have truly enjoyed learning the fast moving and ex- citing game.

By doing something a little extra, these stu- denis have brought recognition to Highland. By attending an Engineering Sem- inar, a Writers’ Wordshop, and an History Seminar each of the stu- dents respectively feels they have added a bit to their formal educa- tion. Another new feature to Highland is the presence of foreign exchange students. Per is from Sweden and will continue his education there next year after his “vacation” at Highland.
