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 -

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 -

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 -
