Early in the morning, the cooks are busily at work pre- paring the meal for the day. They prepare good and nourishing meals, working in their uniforms behind the spotless counters and in the modern kitchens. The food is a tempting sight for Highland high students after a long morning of classroom studies. The cooks have a reputation for being fast and effi- cient and thus are always ready to serve the hungry students waiting in the long lunch line. This slow moving lunch line of famished Trojans is begun at 11:45 each day bv the eighth graders. These underclassmen are the first to smell and taste the tempting menu of the day. The next class to join the never ending line are the freshmen, at 12:00. At 12:05 the starving upperclassmen are permitted to in- vade the lunch line in hopes of FOOD! Since the lunch line at Highland high is always so long and ever growing, many are tempted to cut. This, as they know, usually proves futile, for teachers are always on the look-out and sending cutters to the end of the line. Mrs. A. Blink, Mrs. M. Gorman, Mrs. J. Sodestrom, and Mrs. Swienconek prepare lunches daily in modern kitchen.

a Busy Day of Study and Organized Activity TA0LET f Sharon Wyncoop gets a helping hand from Chuck Yates as she refreshes between classes. Cars, cars, and more cars. The school parking lot was literally overflowing with vehicles of all possible shapes, sizes, and colors during the year. After the busses dropped their commuters” ana left in the morning, the driveway became cluttered with the cars of parents taking students to school. Busses added to the atmosphere of general confusion in the after-school traffic jams. In extra-curricular activities, these modes of transportation proved to be extremely popular and useful. Cars provided the students with ways to and from various school functions. Familiar busses carried students to out-of-town games. The ’60 Homecoming parade was enlarged by the presence of many beautifully decorated cars. The following night a motorcade, with the queen candidates in the lead, formed at the school; it then proceeded on to the Griffith field for a victorious game. Popular stopping spots were essential to catch up on the latest.” Drinking fountains drew students their way through- out the day. . .not only for cooling refreshment but also because they were the scene of many between-class rendezvous. Showcases, scattered throughout the building, were used to exhibit projects from shop, home economics, science, and geo- graphy classes to mention a few, and they carried themes urg- ing the Trojans on to victory. They kept students up to date on what was being done in classes during the school year. . . perhaps some of the exhibits served as an incentive for students to work harder. Changed or alternated frequently, they were constant points of interest. Mike Steffey takes time off from routine classes to help publicize the Netherlands. T l ! - 23 -
