Theme 15 FOOTBALL New Head Coach Mr. Fletcher was mentor of a disappointing four win and six loss season. This season was a building year for the future. Coach has plans for at least 16 starters to return to action next year. So the future looks very optimistic, though it will be hard to replace those Seniors who are leaving. Anytime you win it is an important victory but Coach felt that the Hoban 19-16 win in the last few seconds was the biggest of the season. 18 Football Quarterback Jim Sposet runs to score.

HOMECOMING Homecoming 1978 was well attend- ed even though some doubts had been expressed due to the early date neces- sitated by other previously scheduled fall activities. Even though it came during only the second week of school, students worked hard and once again floats and decorations seemed better than last year’s. The theme of old movies was carried throughout the weekend by a cast of hundreds and all who attended had a good time. The moon shone brightly on Friday night’s activities. Homecoming 25 CROSS COUNTRY This year’s Cross Country team was vastly improved over last year. With an overall season record of 4 wins and 3 losses, the team went on to sectionals and placed an impressive third. Mr. Pollock felt that the follow- ing team members were outstanding for the team: Joe Victor — most valu- able, Jim Gaj — most improved, and the team’s first freshman ever to re- cieve a letter — Dan Kulmala. Also very rewarding was the fact that there were six girls on the team. The team also placed well in all the tour- naments they entered, 2nd place in the Colt Invitational bringing a trophy to Highland for the first time in this event. On your mark, get set, GO!

Team size is increasing and the showing is better and better. Mr. Keating, taking time from his job of athletic director, coached the team this year. Alot of time was put forth for the golf team this season by the boys and we are looking forward to better and better things from them in the future. Row 1; R. Kolar, M. Kirchner, R. Houska, K.

VARSITY H Varsity H is comprised of a group of students who have re- ceived a varsity letter for out- standing achievement in sports or in music. Unfortuantely this organiza- tion does not become involved enough in the sports routine of our school. The Highlander staff hopes their pride will show a little more in the future.

VOLLEYBALL The 1978-1979 Volleyball team was much improved from last year. The most recognized players were as fol- lows; Most Valuable, Debbie Evans, LuAnn Tsipis; High Scorer — Darlene Dutt; and most improved Kim Eisen- hart. The highlight of their season was defeating Coventry, who had just pre- viously beaten them the week before. Also defeating Hoban, who was unde- feated, brought a high point to the season. Coach Bouton was concerned that the team was not very consistent and didn’t play up to their highest potential. She also feels that this year’s freshman group is very strong and they are sure to improve with age. The team played well and even though there were some very dis- appointing losses the girl’s had a lot of fun. Coach Bouton looks on from the sideline with an encouraging round of applause. Volleyball 31 CHEERLEADERS The Cheerleaders began the year with an early start by attending cheerleading camp at Ohio State. Be- sides cheering for football and basket- ball games they have raised money through bake sales, car washes and selling programs. They help arrange pep rallies and other school spirited events. In additon to varsity and jun- ; ‘ ior varsity this year we had a fresh- . : Sitar in man squad. Varsity Cheerleaders; Pam Sturm, Ann Ciphers, Ronda Houska.

Those were to, a) win more games than last year, b) finish in the top four in the league, and c) te win a tournament game. As this book went to press, the team was well on it’s way to achiev- ing those goals. They were in fourth place, they had improved last year’s record, and all that remained was to win a tournament game. The team was much improved over last year and better things are expected for next year. 36 Basketball Sheppard intercepts a pass. Steve stops short — a little late. % es j ca si. ges The J.V.

AND FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Junior Varsity’s top players were Todd Bischof, Pat McDuffee, John Gresock, Dave Crouch and Bill Dietz. Coach Warmbrodt brought this year’s Junior Varsity to several wins, but we still didn’t have a perfect record. This year’s Freshman team gave much excitment to the crowds that came to watch. There were overtime games, laughers and a win at the buzzer. Probably one of the greatest comebacks in basketball history oc- curred against Copley when the Frosh outscored a great opponent 17-2 in the final quarter only to come up short, in a heart-breaking 36-32 de- feat. Not wanting to elaborate on loss- es and wins, Couch Gourley confesses that the key to the whole season was improvement. You will see some great things out of these Freshmen in the future. 38 J.V. and Freshman Basketball “Come on, get your hand out of my way!” “Maybe I can stop him this way.” Z ati The Frosh Team: Row 1; S.

Coach Florian was in a very enviable position being the only undefeated coach in the County and the league for much of the sea- son. The string of wins was broken late in the season when we came head to head with the very strong Conventry team. Three of the return- ing team members had had State Tournament wrestling experience; Mike Ciammaichella, Dan May and Chris Riehm. Current predictions has a very strong team of eight wrestlers going to the State Tournament in Co- lumbus in March. These eight are wished the best of luck and we hope they return vic- torious. Clark leaves the mat, undefeated but tired. Coach Florian, pensive and tense. On the way to an escape. 40 Wrestling Oh Mom!...

The girl’s kept alive a home win streak through most of the season and all were pleased that the season went as it did. The coaches stressed improvement and were well rewarded by outstanding efforts from many girls. It is hoped that the future years can continue the success started by these girls. The girls went all the way to Bowling Green in the districts. Next year — STATE!

M.CJ.V.S. The Medina County Joint Vocation- al School serves upper class students from all four Local County School Systems — Higland, Cloverleaf, Buck- eye and Black River. A wide variety of courses are offered to our students. Many of the programs are two year programs though there are a few one year programs. Students first become acquainted with the School located on the outskirts of Medina City during their sophomore school year. A vis- itation day is held during the winter so that all students who might be in- terested have ample time in which to make up their minds as to the pro- grams they wish to enroll in. Some students go to the Joint Vocational School and decide it is not for them. Courses offered range from Animal Husbandry to Child Care. 108 J.V.S. Lyneen Guldeman practicing on some business forms.

The newspaper consists of articles such as: Point-Counter Point; Amazing Man; monthly sports and club up- dates and a fun page. The success of the paper is due to the help of the Journalism Class; Advisor, Miss Fisher; and Editor Jeff Holland. The staff has worked very hard putting together the newspaper and spon- soring fund-raising events such as bake sales and roller skating par- ties.

The girls answer the phone, file, run errands, get students from study hall to the guidance, and many other odd jobs. The time they take to save wear and tear on the guidance department is greatly appreciated and it is hoped that they continue volunteering their services in the years to come. “Could one of you please help me??” a Guidance Office Workers Guidance Workers 127 Office Aids — Row 1; M.

OFFICE AIDES Students who work in the main office are chosen by the secretaries, so that they can help with the over abundance of work that needs to be done. They answer the phone, run errands, file notes and generally help out with what needs to be done. Many of the students find that this helps them in getting jobs and gives them some experience for the future. Athletic office aids assist the Athlet- ic Director, Mr. Keating. He sends them on errands, gives them the honor of escorting college representatives and lets then help out around the office. 128 Office Aides Athletic Office Aides — L. Nandrasy, C. Boehmerle.

They communicate with the student body and let them know about books and other library materials. The li- brary would not have neat shelves, organized magazines and many other things if it weren’t for the aides doing what needed to be done.

The more than one hundred members go skiing on Mondays as long as weather conditions permit. This year the club has new advisors; Mr. Claflin, Mr. Nelson, and Miss Sboray. The fees that the members of the group pay, cover ski equip- ment rental and are valid for the entire winter season as long as they come with the Highland group. Ski Club 133 RACQUETBALL Racquetball is fast becoming the nation’s favorite sport with courts being built all over. Highland has kept up with this spirit with a boy’s racquetball club for the past three years. The girl’s have started a club this year and we hope they grow in the future. Racquetball requires fitness, endurance and skill in order to have fun. The club has grown this year and show signs of enlarging as the sport becomes more popular with the students. Row 1; R.

The members gained admittance by hard work on the Yearbook or the Newspaper. They are members of their respective staffs and they are also Juniors and Seniors in the upper third of their class. The organization had its beginning at Highland last year and it is hoped by the advisors that the group will grow in the years to come and that the value of journalism will also become more recognized.

They took part in several area competitions such as the Western Reserve Invitational held in Wadsworth as well as the annual county Band-a-Rama in Brunswick. Mr. Nelson was in general pleased with the band’s efforts this year and is looking forward to bigger and better things for next year. This year also saw the addition of the flag girl line. This drill team car- rying the green and white of Highland helped make the marching season a real treat this year. The girls were coached and instructed by Mrs. Flo- rian and all involved are looking for- ward to some more interesting forma- tions and entertainment for next year. 136 Band Hp Walia ne “is i 5 BIE OREN A Nt AR ABE NCA A i LR EE AE A : ros nine, HN en — oe Se SR ae Seemann Se Stennett = EO i} ! } } _- — ey uy ay gp th - 7 - : . | - - 2 , ‘a . . ca. 5 ee oe 4 ee te - és = ; Z : ‘ + “ Zé oh eo = iff a rm tm - = il a me said - - . s a eh AA RAT Se 3 «. ° ® d - £ be Poeicg, ‘ . siti tna, Goes seatbitis ie ce TE met ae Ml BC A RR ue ti ea To (PES RR ge A ss Sal Band 137 n, J.

Once again, after missing the last few years, the choirs performed with the bands in a pre-Christmas assembly. The programs gave all involved a hint of what was to come at the eve- ning concert.

The available activities ranged from a current events quiz to international foods in the Spanish and German rooms. The English de- partment had several plays and the Science even had a student size mod- el of a cell. This has been such a success for our school that we hope it will continue to be a major fall event.
