Highland High Looking out on to a glass- enclosed court from the windows of a spacious library, students caught a feeling of the outdoors throughout the year. Bright, modern hallways and classrooms gave Highland High School a fresh, casual atmosphere. Besides serving their practical purpose as being a short-cut through crowded halls, both courts provide a place for students to sit and talk during breaks and lunch hours in good weather. The Senior Court, with its white, wrought iron furniture, and the school court, with its low wooden benches are the scenes of informal gatherings. All classrooms have wide, low windows looking out on to either campus or courts. From the cafetori- um, students can view the football field and track. The cafeteria is equipped with two self-service lines and is the scene of plays and pageants during the year because of its stage and seating capacity. 4 Building

Business education department adds Distributive education or at least its beginnings have come to High- land High School. With their recent move into a new, more spacious and modern wing, the business education department added one more class to its already diverse curriculum. Sales- manship was an innovation this year as a class in practical learning and application. Future executives learned the complexities of running a corporation and studied for their future roles and occupations as community leaders with applied economics and clerical prac- tice classes. Business law also offered to those who wished to gain insight into the technical phase of the business world. Secretarial training or back- ground for students wishing to take faster notes was given in shorthand and notehand classes. Typing was also one of the electives offered by the depart- ment. Bookkeeping and the processes of office machines were taught to be vital parts in the efficient running of a business office. By diligently working with the machines and methods of modern bookkeeping, students of today prepare to be the business leaders of tomorrow. Linda Ross, business machines student, uses an adding machine to do lengthy calculation. Since their recent move into the new wing, the business education department offers more spacious and well- equipped classrooms. Checking and grading are a teacher’s routine. 6 Business
