It must be tempered with time and patience; many hands must share in its creation. Eager minds fashion a physical structure, itself a foundation of which all can be proud, but this alone is insufficient; a successful high school must also be founded on other intangible platforms. Chief architects of this expansive building project are the vitally important teachers. As a basis for all beginning construction, they develop foundations of leadership, encouragement, and eternal influence. They guide the students on the path of intellectual inquiry They develop high standards and always strive for the better things in education. From these primary foundations spring the skeleton-like structure formed of those students who compose the beginning. Their accomplishments are the first beams, supports, and arches around which all other development is made. - 2 - Table of Contents Introduction Pages 1-7 Administration Pages 8-17 Seniors Pages 18-39 Underclassmen Pages 40-55 Academic Pages 56-63 School Life Pages 64-69 Clubs Pages 70-83 Activities Pages 84-97 Sports Pages 98-113 Advertising Index Pages 114-144 Beginning ” Lacking any experience or tradition, they produce a design which is unique and dedicated to the future. . Because we were not a four-year high school with experience and tradition behind us, what- ever we accomplished was ours. We had nothing to look back on and everything to attain in the future. Scenes of accomplishments and failures became memories; we learned and profited every time something new was initiated. Traditions, ideals, goals, and extra-curricular activi- ties had to be established, and establish we did. Piece by piece, a section at a time. Provided with this foundation and design to guide them, the Highland High School stu- dents of tomorrow now find not only that their heritage is the beginning, but that their goal is the future. . . .Each will leave in the building his brick of impression. Great or small, it will be a living symbol for all to see The beginning is over; the future is yet to come! - 3 - The Beginning . . . The April day was cold and dreary but is re- membered as a bright occasion. Highland ' s wish for a high school was finally being fulfilled. Lon P. Mon- beck, Superintendent of Schools, broke the first shov- el-full of sod and gave an inspiring message. Color was added to the ceremony by the school band and the Highland American Legion marching unit. . . .The Present. . . Here it stands, proud and streamlined, our beau- tiful school which was and is destined to mold young minds, producing tomorrow ' s leaders. Our teachers, who are the backbone of our education, have given us high standards; our students act as strong restrain- ing columns upholding these standards. c r HI 1 f ■Wri ' till 111 ! •• . . .The Future. . . Embodied in H. H. S. are all the traditions, ideals and ambitions mingled with our many hopes for the future. The modern structure in which we have attained the beginnings in education will soon be only a skeleton of the building which is to become our school of tomorrow. In a few years, what is now only an architect’s sketch will materialize. The expectations of students, parents, and faculty alike will no longer be a dream. - 4 - Traditions Were Established. . . Tense with excitement, eager with anticipation, the crowd breathlessly awaited the debut of Highland High ' s first basketball squad and first athletic team. Thus the Highland tradition was born in our first of many victories. Typifying H.H.S. spirit and enthusiasm were our first cheerleaders. These good-will ' ambassadors were out in front at all basketball games that first and all-important season. For the sons and daughters that wear the blue and gold ... And so it was that these were the first Tro- jan sons to sport the fighting blue. Though our team was solely Sophomores and Juniors, their bulldog tenacity saw them through; and the season terminated with a 5-3 record. Another day, another tradition as we prepared for our first homecoming. Plans for this gala occasion included the crowning of a queen, a motorcade to the game with River Forest, and a dance. However, the excitement of the game was soon transferred to the half-time activities as the crowd awaited the announcement and crowning of our first Homecoming Queen, Karan Sell. Following the victory, the students returned to the high school for a soc-hop at which Karan and her court reigned. - 5 - Dreams Became Talent and preparation was the recipe for a successful and most enjoyable Min- strelrama. The merry endmen, the melo- dramatic caricatures, the peanut vendors, the graceful dancers were all features of the never-to-be-forgotten extravaganza. The Minstrelrama was one of Highland High School ' s firsts, and a good part of its success can be owed to the director, pro- ducer, and announcer, Mr. Eugene Gambrill. Spring, laughter, and the end of school set a perfect scene for the Fiesta that will long be remembered by all of Highland High ' s students. Sponsored by the Spanish Club, the all school event saw months of preparation before its occurrence. All who went were sure to have participated in one of the lotteries, although all coundn ' t win. Gay Spanish ornamentations decorated the halls as a fortune teller, marriage booth, and teacher dunk added to the gaiety. All this and more for only a few pesos. Emanon?? No name spelled back- wards, and that ' s exactly what it was — a paper without a name. It was Highland High ' s first paper which set a fine tradition for the present day Trojanal. Carolynn Swatts, the paper ' s first editor- in-chief, surveys the proud product as it first appeared. - 6 - Realities. . . Counseling is a small, but important beginning to an unlimited future which awaits High- land s students as they stand at the threshold of adulthood. Our counselors provide a good ear for troubled students as they advise and guide them to decisions which may affect the course of a lifetime. Advising Seniors consumes an ample portion of their time, and this is perhaps where one can see the culmination of goals set for and by these Seniors in past years. And Our Goals Were Attained. However, the bright dreams of a child are not easily procured, and it is only through gui- dance that an inexperienced youth can face reality and live up to his possibilities. The gateway to knowledge is a long, trying path, and graduation is but one pace to this ultimate destination. - 7 - School Board Sets Policies. . . Row 1: Mr. Lon P. Monbeck, Superintendent of School; Dr. John Sanik, Jr., President; Mr. Gordon T. Heim, Treasurer; Mr. John H. Strange, Secretary. Organizing and operating school programs are essentially the jobs of a typical school board. On its shoulders rest the great responsibilities of securing capable teachers and determining a budget to provide for school equipment and facilities. Three citizens who are appointed by the town board trustees share the duties of school board mem- bers in Highland. The present members, who have served on the board respectivly for two, eight, and one year, are as follows: Dr. John Sanik, Jr., President; Mr. John H. Strange, Secretary; Mr. Gordon T. Heim, Treasurer. These men work through the state educational laws to pr ovide the best possible schooling for Highland students. The school board ' s special concern has been to finance the building of additional classrooms for Highland ' s rapidly expanding student population. Foresight as to Highland s future educational needs has been a strong characteristic of this and past boards. This was made further evident when bids were open- ed on January 26, 1960, for a 13-room addition to the high school; even earlier, plans for a new junior high school were announced. One fulfillment of their work is the realization of a first graduating class at Highland High School. It is to these students and those to follow that Dr. Sanik directs the thoughts of the school board: With its first graduating class, neighbors, employers, and many colleges and universities will be evaluating the first product of Highland High School. The School Board is confident that whatever your immediate en- deavors are, the first impressions you create will be not only favorable but everlasting. - 10 - Superintendent of Schools Part of Highland High School ' s beginnings can be found in the year 1936 when Mr. Lon P. Monbeck, first came to Highland as Principal of Main Elemen- tary School. Mr. Monbeck received a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Manchester College in 1934. Two years later he left Columbia University with a Mas- ter of Arts in education. The Universities of Michi- gan, Chicago, and Indiana offered Mr. Monbeck further education. As a Highland school administra- tor, he achieved his present office in 1950. Being a superintendent of schools, Mr. Monbeck has few moments of leisure; but during vacation time his favorite activity is fishing in northern Min- nesota. He also devotes much time to civic organiza- tions; he is a member of the Highland Lions Club, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Garfield Ma- sonic Lodge of Hammond. In connection with his po- sition as a school administrator he also is affiliated with the National Education Association and the American Association of School Administrators. Administrators Set High Standards. . . The Superintendents ' ever-busy secretaries, Mrs. Lois Foltz and Mrs. Barbara Vender Dussen, go over their work for the day. - 11 - Principal An intelligent and capable administrator, Prin- cipal Allen J. Warren, has guided Highland High School through three tedious years of development. His ever-present aid and cooperation will never be forgotten by the classes of today. A well-educated man, Mr. Warren graduated from Ball State Teachers College with a Bachelor of Science degree, received his Master of Arts in 1951, and he has done additional graduate work at Pur- due, Indiana University, Ball State, and Butler. He is a member of both Kapa Delta Pi and Phi Delta Theta, national education honoraries. Interested in sports, Mr. Warren takes pleasure in attending all athletic contests. He is an avid read- er and a member of both the Kiwanis, and the Ma- sons. Advise the Faculty Assisting Mr. Warren in his duties as Principal are his office secretaries, Mrs. Grace Riechers and Mrs. Laurene Hasselbring. - 12 - Assistant Principal A new addition to the school this year, Mr. Ro- bert Day, came to H.H.S. as an Assistant Principal. A graduate of Ball State Teachers College, he received both Bachelor of Science and a Master of Art Degrees in Education. Besides his duties as assis- tant principal, Mr. Day teaches mechanical drawing, coaches wrestling and Junior Varsity Football. He also sponsors Student Council and the corridor moni- tors. Mr. Day is an avid sports enthusiast. Hunting, fishing, and golfing are among his favorites. Highland ' s gain was Hobart ' s loss when Mrs. Annabelle Shone, our new Dean of Girls, assumed her duties and became a part of the H.H.S. teaching staff. She has proved to be an aid to all who seek her counsel. Sponsor of Dramatics Club, Career Day, College Day, and the Leadership Conference, Mrs. Shone is active in all phases of school life. She is a member of the American Association of University Women and is affiliated with the Hobart Players ' Guild. A graduate of Indiana University, with a Bach- elor of Arts in Latin, she also completed her Master of Science degree in Guidance. Her graduate courses, taken at Purdue, include Guidance, Speech, and Drama. and Counsel the Students. Guidance Director - 13 - Three faculty members listen while Miss You- man, Sophomore Class sponsor and English instructor, Mr. Richard Barack, Social Studies instructor and co- sponsor of Student Council, and Miss Phyllis Russey, Spanish and English instructor, and sponsor of Span- ish Club and Senior Class.

Four of our every-busy teachers talk over school problems. They are Mrs. Inez Tucker, Eighth Grade Class sponsor and English instructor, Mr. Merlin Clin- kenbeard, cross-country. Freshman basketball, and baseball coach, co-sponsor of F.B.L.A., and Physical Education and Business instructor, Mr. Roland Sheets, Social Studies instructor; and Mr. Robert Kelly, So- cial Studies instructor. - 14 - Advising School Activities . . .

Gilliam, Wood Shop and Mechanical Drawing in- structor; Miss Violet Herring, Algebra and Physics in- structor and sponsor of the Eighth Grade and Sci- ence Club; Miss Dorothy Schmitz, sponsor of the Freshman Class and FBLA and Commercial instructor; and Mrs. Pat Golubiewski, English instructor. Mrs. Anne Matthew, Physical Education instructor and GAA sponsor, tells some antidotes about occur- rences in her classes as Mr. Albert Leas, Social Stud- ies instructor, Mr. Robert Kellam, English and Speech instructor and sponsor of the Dramatics Club, Honor Society, and the Sophomore Class, laugh apprecia- tively. Four members of the faculty discuss Highland ' s accrediation. They are Mr. Joseph Dolak, Mathema- tics and Science instructor; Mr. John Brinkley, Junior Class sponsor and Social Studies instructor; Miss Al- pha Braunswarth, sponsor of F.T.A. and Latin instruct- or; and Mr. Donald Clark, Advanced Mathematics instructor and sponsor of the Rocket Club and the Senior Class. - 15 - Teachers Lend Aid Teachers laugh too, and here are Mrs. Royer, English instructor; Mr. Gordon Wilder, Choir instruct- or; Miss Phyllis Bates, Business instructor; and Mr. Stan, Mechanical Drawing and Industrial Arts instruct- or. Taking a break from their busy schedule, these teachers relax in the court. They are Mr. Leonard Tews, Biology instructor; Miss Marjorie Bluhm, Art instructor, sponsor of the Sign Painters Club and Booster Club; Mr. Don Kaupke, Science instructor, assistant track coach and Varsity football coach. Eighth Grade basketball coach and Class sponsor; Mr. Dean Speicher, Typing and Journalism instructor, sponsor of Trojanal, Shield, Quill and Scroll, Na- tional Honor Society, and FBLA.

Pictured are: Row 1: Mrs. T. Kaczmarski, Mr. T. DeVries. Row 2: Mr. J. Drake, Mr. S. Hines, Mr. J. Tremse. School Personnel Perform a Vital Task. The most popular people at noon are those on the Kitchen staff. Mary Alice Gorman, Geneva Hill, Mrs. I. Vo|da, Mrs. A. Blink, and Mrs. J. Soderstrom are greatly appreciated for their hard work. - 17 - Student Leaders Named It may be assumed that a group of the calibre of the Class of 1960 contdins within it some very prominent and outstanding indi- viduals. These persons are those who lend their aid to the school in every possible way; these pupils are the student leaders; they have maintained good academic records through- out their high school years, and have exhibit- ed leadership in all phases of school life. Seated is Gina Swisshelm; looking on are Pat Pope and Jozette Welsh. Pictured above are Mary Stokes, Kay Johnson, and Leslie Riechers. Paul Strapon, Pat Baker, and Louise Smith are shown above. - 20 - Outstanding Seniors Active in extra-curricular activities and and contributing to the social aspect of school life, these individuals have been a definite asset in the conception of Highland traditions, clubs, and sports ' standings. Chosen according to leadership abilities, contribution to extra-curricular activities, and personality, these Seniors are the epitome of the standards set by the Class of 1960. Seated is Jerry Woodfill, and with him are Connie Beard and Judy Carlson. Mary Dolatowski, Carole Dahlgren, and Gloria Orban Pictured above are Bob Fish and Virginia Vanzo. are shown in the school Library. - 21 - Graduation Marked The End of An Era Senior class officers Dick Raduenzel, Treasurer; Bob Fish, President; Jerry Woodfill, Vice-President; and Connie Beard, Secretary; take the wheel as they guide the class of 1960 through a properous and reward- ing year. Seniors en|oyed a multitude of activities this year due to the efficient and imaginative planning of class President Bob Fish. The candy sales and Senior-sponsored soc hop were the major moneymak- ing projects and financed later activities including the Senior dance and banquet. The Prom and Sen- ior Week served as a final fling before somber Baccalaureate and Commencement ceremonies ended a successful and rewarding high school career A career which began three years ago, when the class of 1960 passed through the portals of a new school (building) to earn the distinction and meet the challenge of becoming Highland ' s first grad- uating class. They were willing and able to tackle the task; the challenge was met and the result is HHS as we know it today. They dominated school life for three years; their presence was a luxury, and their loss will be felt. And so we salute the class of I960; the class mainly responsible for our present mode of school life, the formation of leading school clubs, our high scholastic standards, and the all-round success of the formative years of HHS. of Unforgettable Achievements . . .

Aristophanes - 39 - Juniors Inspired Assumed Much Responsibility Readying themselves for ascension to the leadership of H. H. S. ( industrious members of the class of 61 took a new role in school ac- tivities. With Highland s first Junior-Senior Prom to take place in May, the Juniors busied them- selves with plans for this all-important event. Funds were raised by sponsoring a chili sup- per and soc-hop.

Preceded by a year of bewilder- ment, the Class of 62 finally overcame the complexities of high school life. After they learned the routine, cus- toms, and habits of H.H.S., these Soph ' s began to make plans for the ensuing years. Loyal Trojans, the Sophomores constituted a large majority of sports enthusiasts and made preparations for their Junior and Senior years. Heading the well-organized Sophomore Class are President, Tom Garbet and Vice-President, Mar- gie Parker. Sophomore officers, Leslie Jones, Treasurer; and Sue Riple, Secretary; take time out from their busy schedule, as they relax on the front lawn.

A wonderful new adven- ture for these bewildered greenhorns. Typi- cal Freshies are said to be perplexed and confused. Our Freshmen, like all others, dis- played these signs of Freshmanism. However, the Class of 63 soon became accustomed to school life, and became a real asset to the high school. Always . backing school projects and activities, the Freshmen were well-presented at all school functions. Freshmen Oriented to School Life Wilma Marion and Dave Smith illustrate the typical Freshman look of wonder. Guiding the Freshmen through a busy year are their class officers: President, Steve Eastham; Vice-President, Mike Steffey; Secretary, Wilma Marion; and Treasurer, Bob Imes.

Fiegle A school, as any individual, necessitates recognition for outstanding achievement. As our students are the building blocks of HHS, their construction efforts as arch- itects in our mammoth task of setting an honorable pre- cedent for future scholars to follow also necessitated due recognition. This recognition was given to outstanding students by membership in the National Honor Society. Scholastic ability alone does not make a successful student, just as the skeleton of a building does not make a school. Our Honor Society students excelled in leadership, personal characteristics, and school service as well. National Honor Society s first officers are: Row 1: Mary Stokes, Vice-President; Louise Smith, President. Row 2: Leslie Riechers, Treasurer,- and Gloria Orban, Secretary. High standards were set throughout HHS the past three years and hitching our scholastic wagon to a star was no exception. Though competition ran high and there was always a stiff challenge at hand, many of our scholars have the right to pat themselves on the back for a job well done. Two such students are vale- dictorian, Jerry Woodfill, and sa- lutatorian, Judy Carlson. These top scholars in the class of 60 have done superior work throughout their high school years, creating a strong spirit of school pride in another phase of school life at HHS. Jerry Woodfill, valedictorian of the Senior class, looks forward to a bright future as an architectual engineer Scholars Earn Top Honors Salutatorian of the class of 1960, Judy Carlson, plans to attend Indiana State Teachers College. Highland ' s delegates to Girls ' and Boys ' State were: Leslie Riechers, Louise Smith, Judy Carlson, Bob Fish, Jerry Woodfill, and Ziggy Ondo. Gloria Orban, Highland s delegate to the Indianapolis Council of World Affairs in Washington D.C., discusses plans for the trip. Participants in the mock government conference, Judy Carlson, Leslie Riechers, and Louise Smith, at Girls State and Bob Fish, Zigmund Ondo, and Jerry Woodfill at Boys ' State were chosen on the basis of scholarship, leadership, personality, and character. Gloria Orban, delegate to the Indianapolis Coun- cil on World Affairs Tour to Washington D. C. and New York City, was one of 37 students to tour the Nation s capital and visist historical sights in New York City. - 59 - Row 1: C. Smith, S. Decker, G. Geiselman, D. Howard, M. Ulrich, H.

Past Student Council officers were: Row 1: Les- lie Riechers, Secretary; Pat Baker, Treasurer. Row 2: Jerry Woodfill, President; Mary McDermott, Vice-President. - ( ) - H.H.S. .Provides Varied Curriculum Despite the emphasis on the college preparatory courses, other fields are not neglected as varied courses are offered for Commercial, Industrial Arts, and Home Economics majors. Offering this diversified curriculum to meet the de- mands of all students, H.H.S. strives to prepare the students for a better future. Busy typists give undivided attention to a typical timed-writing. Shop training stresses effec tive and safe use of equipment. Although the mind of the individual is of utmost importance, the physical be- ing, too, is developed. Through Phys. Ed. classes, the G.A.A., a system of intra- murals open to all grades, and the school athletic teams, every student can and does participate in athletic activities. In the Physics lab students realize the importance of precision and the necessity of experimentation. - (51 - Teachers Aid Students Fifty-six courses are offered pupils throughout their high school career. These studies range from the ordinary Math, Eng- lish, and Science courses to the more spe- citlized courses such as Music Appreciation, Development of the Constitution, and Col- lege Math. Instructors are well qualified, eighteen of whom possess their Master ' s degree. Mr. Tews points out to several of his students the or- gans of human body. The recently-acquired Math equip- ment proves very helpful to the Math students. Mrs. Brock joins in on the busy activity usually evident in the sewing room. Students Work A constant source of information, the Library is used for various types of research. Art can take many forms and the art students here express themselves through work with ceramic tiles. Knowledge is like a torch, the higher it is held-the farther it is seen. It is the hope of the fa- culty and administration that the torch of learning will shine brightly to light the future pathway for all Highland students. Instead of training pupils, the teach- ing staff attempts to instill in each student an in quisitive mind, so that the individual may become a thinking being rather than an inanimate object. This person investi- gates an idea, instead of accepting it blindly, rejects the fallacious and accepts the veracious. - (i:3 - SCHOOL LIFE School Life Is Full And Varied A typical scene in the Highland High halls is illustrated by Kathy Miles and Dick Johnson. Students, rearranging the trophy case, show pride in their school achievements. Locker inspection provides rare sport for other- wise unoccupied librarians. - 66 - Each Day Presents New Challenges The cafetorium is a tempting sight for Highland High students after a long morning of classroom acti- vities. Mrs. Ethel Lemmel, retired Booster Club advisor, is presented with a gift of appreciation for her unre- lenting service by the Club President, Gloria Orban. Looking on are the present sponsors: Miss Ma- jorie Bluhm and Miss Martha Nicholson. The Speech students contributed to the 1958 Book Drive by stressing the importance of this project at various civic organizations. - 67 - Convos Serve Two-Fold Purpose Louise Smith, President of Honor Society, presents the second semester members with their membership cords. The new members ore: Barbara Fiegle, Kay Johnson, Carolyn Walsh, and Mary Ann Dolatowski. An ever-wellcome break in the routine of classes, convocations are an- other way of providing for the extension of the experiences of the student body; convos extend the scope of experience in the fields of information and entertainment. Three of this year’s convos were: the dental hygiene which was informative, a professional banjo-player which was entertaining, and the National Honor Society convo, being a medium between both. Participants in the Honor Society Convocation, which was held to promote the sale of yearbooks, spoke on the aspects of school life: Gala, Glamor, Glory, Grades, and Guidance. These Honor Society mem- bers are: G. Orban, J. Carl- son, J. Welsh, P. Baker, and L. Reichers. - 68 - Kitchen Staff Row 1: M. Billingham, D. LaMantia, P. Banden- icks, E. Fleming, W. White, F.

Sparked by a group of Senior athletes, the organization, though hastily fabricated, is already progres- sing in an extremely beneficial direction. Sponsored by Coach Ken Sypult, with Pat Pope as President, Ronnie Blink, Vice- President, and Mike Burroughs, Secretary- Treasurer, the club is dedicated to athletic recognition and progression. Mike Burroughs, Secretary-Treasurer; Pat Pope, President; Ronnie Blink, Vice-President. These busy officers have headed the GAA organiza- tion during the past year. They are Sharon Yates, Treasurer; Pat Baker, Vice President; Marita Wells, Secretary; and Carole Dahlgren, President. GAA Offers The Girl ' s Athletic Association, better known to its members as GAA, aims to stim- ulate the co-curricular phase of girls ' physi- cal education program. Membership requires that the girls pass a series of skill tests and earn a minimum of points through participa- tion in sports. Organized activities for six- week periods have consisted of bowling, bas- ketball, and volleyball. In the Spring of 1959, GAA members demonstrated their athletic skill at a Parents ' Nights program which took place in the High School gymnasium. Row 1: V. Vanzo, C. Dorton, F. Mills, K.

Cheered only by the student body, added to the hilarity by donning boxing gloves! However, the most eagerly a- waited event sponsored by the club is the annual G A A semi-formal dance.

The club, eight strong, strove to furnish all school organizations with desired pub- licity. The creative ability and originality of these HHSers were displayed in town by the club s infor- mative bill boards and posters. A profusion of new ideas, artistry at its best, are two important main- stays of our Sign Painters Club. Row 1: Greg Griswold, Cheryl Holcomb, Miss Mar- jorie Bluhm.

Y-Teens Boasts Largest Y-Teens strives to build a fellowship of women and girls devoted to the task of realizing in our common life those ideals of personal and social living. In this endeavor, they seek to understand Jesus, to share His love for all people, and to grow in the knowledge and Love of God. Sponsoring service projects, popcorn, candy, and potato chip sales keeps this organization ever- busy. However, it is not all work and no play, for Y-Teens have an annual slumber party, a formal dance, and soc-hop. Row 1: tyrs. V. Brock, G. Wheeler, G. Knorr, J. Bunger, C. Beard, C. Helton, B.

The Juniors were successful as their float captured first place; Y-Teens came off second-best, and the Booster Club entry, which carried the queen candidates, won third place. The parade terminated at Main School where cheerleaders led the crowd in a pep rally. School spirit among the enthusiasm of our peppy cheer Club. Friday night, a huge motorcade through Highland to the football field initiated festivities, and students jammed the sta- dium towatch the highly-toted Trojans. Trojan boosters were disappointed when Highland came through the first half with a six point deficit. Barbara Fiegle displayed her emotions, as she was announced 1959 Homecoming Queen.

After much hard work and drilling, the band members displayed many original and intricate manuevers. Gary Moore proved to be a very able drum major, as did his assistant, Steve Eastham. Both boys were sponsored by the Highland Band Parents to attend the Smith-Walbridge Camp for drum ma|ors during the month of August, and Gary Moore received a First Class Certificate for his outstanding performance at the camp. Other participants in marching band were the three drum majorettes, Pat Morton, Donna Doetschman, and Chuckie Deak.

To supply the band with much-needed uniforms the Highland Band Parents Association has assumed the responsibility for raising the necessary funds. Last year the Minstrelrama was presented under the leader- ship of Eugene Gambril, and the proceeds went to- ward the uniforms. This year the Band Parents spon- sored a Tag Day to raise money. The Highland High concert band, under the di- rection of Edwin Kibiger, is composed of high school and eighth grade students. The band performs in the annual Christmas Concert with the Choral Depart- ment and also presents an annual spring concert. Tak- ing part in the Memorial Day program at the High- land cemetery has been a privilege of the band for many years. At the yearly N.I.S.B.O.V.

The SHIELD, another Highland first, came into being May 13 due to the tireless efforts of an ener- getic group that worked diligently for weeks and months. The staff, which was not organized until late September, was hindered because of the loss of much needed time and the lack of pre-planning. However, after a few weeks things began rolling as members became accustomed to their duties. Guidance by Advi- sor Dean Speicher was an absolute necessity, as all staff workers were inexperienced. Deadlines were met with a flurry of papers, the clicking of typewriters, and the groans of typists and copy-writers. Late evenings at school typified year- book efforts. The finished product depicts three years of pro- gress, glory, and frolic-years never-to-be-forgotten by today s students. These memories are here recorded for all to cherish and remember fondly those good, old high school days! ' ’ Major Position holders, Row 1: Louise Smith.

Highland, under the direction of Head Coach Merlin Clinkenbeard, ended its second year of cross country with a record of two wins and four losses. Of the four meets in which the Trojan harriers participated, they defeated Griffith and Thornton Fractional North. Highland was paced by the one-two punch of Greg Sandborn and Jerry Woodfill. Although the Trojans have been slow in start- ing, next year should prove more rewarding, for only two letter winners, Jerry Woodfill and Bob Carroll, are graduating.

Led by the running of Pat Pope and Dick Raduenzel, the Highlanders demonstrated a con- sistent ground game and a sturdy, though errat- ic, defense in setting a stiff precedent for follow- ing Trojan aggregations. Coach Sypult s charges executed a well- oiled offense which proved to be the second best in the state of Indiana. This offense also produc- ed co-leading touchdown performer in Indiana in the form of halfback, Pat Pope. Perhaps the most inspirational performance of the campaign occured in the come-from-be- hind Homecoming victory over Hammond Clark. This win enabled our gridders to gain the mo- mentum for their last five victorious ventures. Tradition Comes to Highland Football at Highland High School was in- novated for the purpose of building men as well as recording victories. The fact that the Trojans recorded victories can be readily recognized by their sterling 8-2 performance. However, it may also be noted that football at our high school played the part of a catalyst in developing a sense of sportsmanship and team play in a group of inexperienced indi- viduals which will undoubtedly aid them in their future endeavors. Also gained through these grid- iron experiences was a sense of self-discipline, through their adherence to the strict training rules set down for them by Coach Ken Sypult. The young men from Highland have finally arrived, ready to challenge the name teams and establish their own niche of tradition in the Cal- umet Area. Co-captains, Doc Strapon and Dick Johnson discuss strate- gy for upcoming game with head coach, Ken Sypult. After completing a seasonal record of 8 wins and two losses, Trojan coaches take time out to pose for a picture: back coach, Don Kaupke, line coach, Randy Sheets, and head coach, Ken Sypult. Trojans Triumph The summer ended prematurely for the mem- bers of the Varsity Football team, as they reported on August 15, to begin a grueling two-week prac- tice and conditioning routine in preparation for the on coming campaign. HAMMOND TECH- The Trojans treked to Tech to send their first senior grid squad against the Tigers. Trailing 13-0, the visitors fought back to knot the score, which resulted in a 26-13 loss. TOUCHDOWNS: Pope (2). DYER CENTRAL- The first Trojan home game of the year enabled our heros to even their record at 1-1 with a convincing 25-7 win over the Indians. The victory was especially sweet, as it avenged the Dyer victory in last years inaugural grid en- counter. TOUCHDOWNS: Raduenzel (2), Pope (1). MOROCCO- The visitors left Highland with very bitter memories, as the Trojans turned on the gas to score an overwhelming 40-7 triumph. The win moved the Highland Trojan ' s record to 2-1 and allowed our boys to even another old score. TOUCHDOWNS: Raduenzel (2), Pope (1), Bur- roughs (1), Brant (1), Topor (1). RIVER FOREST- Brimming with confidence, Coach Sypult’s charges rang up an expected vic- Dick Raduenzel plunges into Dyer pay-dirt on his first of two touchdowns. Mike Burroughs, led by the blocking of Al Bullock and Chet Jasinski, spurts for a sizeable gain against Dyer Central. tory over the oft-beaten Ingots. The Trojan visitors recorded their third consecutive victory by a score fo 39-0. TOUCHDOWNS: Pope (1), Prepsky (1), Raduenzel (2), Burroughs (1), Miller (1). PENN TOWNSHIP- It was here the Trojans fell of their high-riding horse. Confronted by a semmingly unstopable, slow moving, ‘‘grind-it-out offense, our visitors were beaten worse than the 27-20 score indicated. TOUCHDOWNS: Pope (1), Miller (1), Topor (1). Diminutive Mike Prepsky breaks away for a long gain against River Forest. Bid D. Raduenzel, led by the savage blocking of Pat Pope, Ron Blink, and Mike Burroughs, bulls for a first-down against Clark on Highland ' s daunted Power Play ' 1 . Dick Johnson dives for elusive pigskin which results in a touchdown as Pat Pope leeps jubilantly in the back- ground. HAMMOND CLARK— Vibrating with aspiration installed in them by a demonstration of rabid fan support, in the form of a parade and bonfire, the Trojans rallied for a stirring 20-13 victory over highly rated Hammond Clark. TOUCHDOWNS: Pope (2), Strapon (1). LOWELL-Our home guard repulsed the in- vading Red Devils by a score of 33-13. Raduenzel and Pope ran up over 340 yards rushing and shar- ed 5 touchdowns, as the Trojans utilized their run- ning game to the best advantage. The win moved the Highland record to 5-2. TOUCHDOWNS: Pope (3), Raduenzel (2). HOWE MILITARY--The Trojans notched their 6th win of the campaign when they edged the previously unbeaten Howe unit by a score of 19- 14. Perhaps the most exciting contest of the year, the home team needed the last minute play, cli- maxed by a 33 yard pass play to end Dick John- son to insure victory. TOUCHDOWNS: Pope (2), Bullock (1). NEW CARISLE-ln a wild and wooly contest, the Trojans came out on the long end of a 34-25 score-fest. The Pope, Raduenzel duet again led the visitors to a triumph, their 7th of the year. TOUCHDOWNS: Pope (3), Raduenzel (2). GARY WIRT--The Trojans broke open a tight contest in the third quarter, to defeat the Wirt troopers by a score of 39-6.

The losses to Hobart (7-0), Rensselaer (12-6), and Munster (6-0) illustrate the fact that many of the de- feats were of the type which could have just as easily be converted to victories. Spearheading the J.V. effort were two promising Freshmen, Larry Watson and Walter Jovanovich. With a year of experience under their belt, great things are expected from these youngsters in later years. - 105 - Senior guard Dick Johnson leads the mighty Trojan cagemen through the Victory Hoop in the semi-final game of the Sectionals.

The entire team was back, but the coaching job, pre- viously held by Bob Straight, was replaced by our former baseball coach, Mr. Randy Sheets. The Trojans started fast with a 72-44 triumph over Wheatfield at DeMotte, and a well-played 69- 68 victory over highly-regarded Hammond Tech. At home for the first time, the men of Troy avenged a ' 58 ' loss to Fowler ' s Bulldogs with a 56- 41 romp. Dyer Central ' s Indians also fells, as Coach Sheets ' charges ran up a 63-49 advantage. The long anticipated grudge game with arch- rival Griffith developed well for Highland, as they jumped to a 21-7 quarter lead, and coasted in a 62-53 win. Routine wins over Knouts 71-57, Portage 58-47, and Chesterton 85-41 moved the victory streak to an unblemished record. The Highlanders, January 2 visit to Rensselaer proved infamous, as our heroes fell 72-59, after a first quarter barrage by the Bombers left our quin- tet with a 10 point defeat. Ready for action, are these ever-famous players, which led our team to a 22-2 record. They are: D. Johnson, J. Woodfill, J. Mussat, L. Scolfield, D. Raduenzel. Highland Captures Sportsmanship Trophy Coach Sypult and Sheets discuss strategy for the next game. The Gary Edison Tourney, a post-holiday affair, furnished the Trojans with their first tournament trophy. Coach Sheets led his performers in a rewin over Chesterton 76-57, and eliminated host, Gary Edison, for the crown. Lowell, 59-55, Crown Point 85-51, and tall DeMotte 58-56, fell before Highland ' s victory-starved quintet, before our boys got the opportunity revenge last season losses to Hobart ' s Brick- ies, and Morton ' s Governors by respective 79-60, and 83-44 tallies. East Gary (60-54), Hebron (78-52), proved no strain for the Highlanders, but Merrillville’s upset-minded Pirates forced the Trojans to a sudden death overtime before winning 58-56. A 61-52 triumph over Gary Wirt gave Highland the best record among Lake County independents, 19 wins and one loss. The Trojans entered the East Chicago Sectional probably one of the toughest in the state, and won three games before bowing to E.C. Washington in the final game, 83-66. The Troians shown here displaying their first Trophy which was acquired by copping the Gary Edison In- vitational Tourney, are: Row 1: L. Scofield, D. Johnson, J. Mussatt, J. Newell, J.

The Highland Freshman had a mediocre season due to lack of size and extreme inexperience; but the season was highlighted by the ball-hawking of David Smith, Denny Howard and Doug Stamp- or, and the rebounding of Woody Norman, Chuck Puntillo, and Mike Vrabel. Due to the tedious ef- forts of Coach Merlin Clinkenbeard the young Trojans gained experience which will undoubtly aid them in their future athletic endeavors at Highland High. Eighth Grade and Freshman Gain Valuable Experience The Highland Eighth Graders, under the watchful eye of Coach Kaupke, vastly improved their disastrous 1958-59 record by posting a season record of 9 wins and 6 losses. The team led by the re- bounding of Carl Topor, Lanny Wells, and Mike Pedziwiatr and the ball-handling of Joe Prepsky and Pat McShane. The season was highlighted by a come-back victory over Saint Mary ' s; although the young Trojans faced a 13-3 deficit at halftime, they surged back to win 30-24 Row 1: J. Hardesty, D. Worker, P.

Wrestlers Take To Mat For First Time Shortly after football season last fall, a call was made for those interested in participating on High- land High ' s first wrestling squad. Thirty-six boys answered the call. Although some found the sport not to their liking, the squad maintained approximately the same number throughout the season. Most of the squad did not know the difference between the on-guard stance and the referee ' s position at the first practice; however, with Bob Vuxinic doing most of the demonstrating, they soon learned the fundamentals of wrest- ling. Although the team took it on the chin more often than not, the squad felt that the experience proved valuable. One of the highlights of the season was a trip for ten squad members to Purdue to see the North- western match with Purdue. Another was to have three boys advance to the second round of the local sec- tional tournament at East Chicago Washington. Those boys were Tony Nevers, 112-pound class; Vuxinic in the 127-pound class, and Fred Jakubielski in the 154-pound class. SCHEDULE Coach Robert Day guided the wrestlers in their first season of varsity competition.

Their 11-8 mark included deci- sions over such firmly established and highly regarded schools as Bishop Noll, E. C. Washington, and E. C. Roosevelt. Sparked by the consistent per- formances of Jerry Woodfill, Ron Quigg, Richard Abblett, Charles Stef- fy, and Budy Starcevich, the Trojans were able to place sixth in the Lake Hills Invitational, and ninth in the sec- tional. It may also be noted that the Highland squad will lose only one let- terman, and can be expected to come back even stronger next fall. Row 1: Coach S. Sopp, R. Abblett, C. Steffy, J. Woodfill, B.

They decided (as we hope you will decide) to let Inland Steel Company help them plan their future. Some are gaining knowledge and experience in spe- cial trades to become journeyman machinists, car- penters or electricians . . . some are concentrating on certain phases of steelmaking by working in the open hearth shops, the cold rolling mills or the galvanizing lines. Still others are working in laboratories building a sound foundation for a future in steel research. Inland offers the high school graduate an excellent opportunity to further his education. Employees may participate in a variety of on-the-job training pro- grams, or they can continue their formal education by registering for evening courses offered by local Purdue and Indiana University Extension Centers.

The “ End of the Beginning” soon arrived, leaving with me but a few words to say After long months of preparation and planning, of exhaust- ing work, short tempers, long nights, the Shield staff met its final deadline, and Highland’s first yearbook went to press. And so I offer my thanks to a wonderful staff, without whose efforts the I960 Shield would not be a reality, but a dream. Editor-in-Chief Kay Johnson Kay Johnson . . Leslie Riechers. Gloria Orban .
