Winter Months Witness Construction at Highland High; Workshop and Special Classrooms Included in Addition Great mounds of freshly excavated earth were but a forerunner of things to come. Students and teachers alike watched with intense curiosity as engi- neers and builders began on Highland High ' s new edi- tion. The cafeteria offered a focal point from which one could view advancements made by construction crews. Stemming from a seem- ingly endless demand for student and faculty facili- ties, the plans included a graphic arts department, a fine arts department, wood and metal shops. Also under construction were an automotive mechanics work shop and a journalism wing. This wing will accomodate journalism classes and pub- lications editors. Future plans call for a printing shop to publish the TROJANAL. Construction, begun in December, made for several inconveniences. Those stu- dents riding the bus weren ' t too taken with the idea of trekking around the school to reach a usable entrance. The builders also made quite a lot of noise at times, but the disadvantages were for- gotten when construction began to materialize. With one ' s imagination he could just visualize that which the builders had in mind. The promise of new classrooms and corridors, free from the customary signs of occupation, sharp- ened interest. Students and teachers eagerly awaited the finished product. Framed by silhouetted cafeteria windows, rudimentary signs of con- struction are visible. The new edi- tion was begun in December, amid winter winds and snow. This pic- turesque scene devulges the con- struction sight after a day’s work is completed. 4 Shield

What is in a face? Why, anything and every- thing, for a young face is like a young mind and body —flexible and quick to change. It is an outlet for that natural tendency of youthful emotions to move from within to without a hundred times or more dur- ing the course of a day. Perplexity is a furrowed brow; determination is a firmly set mouth; enthusiasm is an irresistible glint in the eyes; pleasure is a sweet smile when that certain someone walks you down the hall— a face flashes re- action faster than any tongue could carry the news. Facial expression is like a neon sign that says, I ' m sad. That ' s a riot! Why? Let ' s go! Thanks. The twinkling of an eye, the set of the mouth, the twitching of the nose— they tell people ' s stories and people are the story of . . . Highland Senior High School Personalities 90
