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

Parade Begins Sixth Annual Homecoming First Place Trophy Presented to Seniors Straining on tiptoe, at- tempting to see over the crowds, the town ' s specta- tors awaited the sight of Highland High ' s band which would mark the beginning of the parade. The sixth an- nual Homecoming parade was on its route to the foot- ball field. Climaxing a hectic week of frenzied activity, the parade wound its way down Kennedy Avenue passed the anxious crowds lining the street. The parade was strewn with unique floats constructed by the classes and clubs of the high school. The parade having reached its destination, the bonfire was kindled and set afire creating a flaming fi- nale to the parade. For the first time, floats were not dismantled and used as fuel for the bonfire. They were saved in order to be displayed on the football field preceding the game and the an- nouncement of the winners of the trophies. The seniors were both surprised and thrilled when their float, Bottle ' Em, claimed first prize. French Club ' s Oui Can Can Chesterton and Key to Victory designed by the Key Club placed second and third respectively. Awarding of the tro- phies ended the initial fes- tivities and made way for an exciting game and a cor- onation.
