RECEIVING TROPHIES FOR their various organizations at the homecoming game are P. Kelley, N. Hoff, C. Kubacki, D. Kubacki, K. Eldridge, B. Ceaser, K. Abblett, M. MacKenzie, S. Barney, and P. Primach. Behind them are Booster Club officers Mr. E. Gaston and Mr. E. Winebrenner. Old Traditions Prevail, New Changes Help to Distinguish Drums, fans, floats, and a queen — these are the things we learn to expect and find, and, just like ever)’ other school in the country, this was High- land High’s 1963 Homecoming. Even Friday the 13th did not dare to upset tradition. Again the Trojans came through with a win on that special day. Industrious hands, anxious to create and con- struct — a familiar sight, but working with ideas as fresh and new as ever before. Bright, intent ex- pressions, almost stereotyped from years past, and yet each harboring such a diversity of feelings and memories as there are personalities in such a crow d. A radiant, smiling queen — nothing so very strange, and yet the face and personality of Janet Gaston so different from those reigning before her. Floats, floats and more floats, from every class and club, paving the w ay for another change. The senior’s “Last Chance” broke tradition as it rode to the first place honors in the parade. This was Homecoming 1 963 — so much the same, and yet so very individually ours. UNDER CRITICAL SCRUTINY by the junior class’ Tweety Bird, Margie Haburay adds final touches to the ’65 float. With an early Homecoming, work on floats started before the school year.

Queen Candidates Awaited Crowning with Anticipation; Trojan Festivities Climaxed by Fifth Homecoming Victory STILL GRASPING THE Trojan pigskin, quarterback, Mike Planert, goes down under his Dyer aggressors, after gaining yard- age which proved important in the Highland High Homecoming victory. Homecoming — a word students muster to like Minutemen to a shot, is an event that calls for all the pride and spirit they can find, backed by the equal eagerness to create and the work to make their ideas a reality. From just such atti- tudes as these arise the prize-winning floats and the first, second, and third place trophies. From these attitudes comes the intense desire to win and shout their victory at the top of their voices. Similarly, Janet Gaston felt the excitement and spirit of the occasion upon receiving a sparkling crown and a proud title. Surely the Trojans struck the attitude as well, beating Dyer Central 13 to 7. This is the spirit of Homecoming that activates minds, hearts, and bodies, as well as voices. BOOSTING TEAM MORALE from the sidelines are these enthusiastic members of the football team who are not presently in action.
