Highland High School. They began to establish scholastic standards, form organizations and show interest in athletics which aroused spirit throughout the student body, thus setting into motion many new innovations which became the framework for traditions at Highland High School. Ten years have passed and twenty-five hundred students have graduated, a myraid of fads have swept through the halls as the face of Highland High has been in constant change — yet surrounding all this there was permanence; the permanence of traditions . . . the traditions that have enriched the lives of both students, faculty, administration and the town itself. These are the traditions that have changed Highland High from a mere institution of learning to a society within itself. They range from the amusing antics on the senior court, to the serious activities of commencement. Nevertheless they are the very heart of the school. From the very beginning, traditions reflect upon the inherent complexity of school life that has fused together to form the color, spirit and pride that constitutes A DECADE OF traditions at highland high. Theme Development 3 Crowded halls bustle with activity as Highland High Sonic Boom? Thunder? Elephants? No — the noises and vibrations that shook the walls weren’t caused by any outside disturbances. The cause is only some 1,294 pair of parading feet throughout the classrooms and corridors. Along with the congestion and confusion created by the increasing population of the school many new expansions were added to the building. To match the continually growing needs of the students, eighteen new faculty members joined the staff. Making their debut in the sports scene were the newly constructed tennis courts. Horseshoe pits and shuffleboard facilities were also among the innovations added to the school to better facilitate the sporting desires of the students. Step by step, the innovations of progress and modernization have been attained by fulfilling the necessities of the school, and the needs and desires of the community. Stately pillars and low. spacious architecture combine to give Highland High ' s main entrance both a dignified and a modern appearance which welcomes students. From the window of the modern new business education wing, a view of the spacious campus grounds and science classes can be seen by students and teachers. 4 Building looks ahead to the future with plans for expansion Replete with traditions, the Senior Court, as seen through the windows of the high school library, affords students a place to relax and converse during breaks. Open to students when weather permits, the all-school court provides fresh air and relaxation for students between classes or during their lunch hour breaks. Building 5 Led by cheerleaders, the booster block, in the formation of the traditional H enthusiastically backs the team. Once again success rang throughout the building as the victory bell was sounded after a triumphant wrestling meet. Raising the flag each morning along with many other duties has become part of the regular routine of cadets in the R. O. T.C.,a program introduced this year. Accepted innovations convert to traditions of present, future life Remember when the gymnasium became a Japanese garden or the depths of the ocean? Many students now attending Highland, probably do not remember these proms, but because of these, the prom has become one of the many revered traditions at Highland. Progress constituted many new innovations which may, in time, become the traditions of tomorrow. However, the activities most anxiously awaited were those formed a decade ago. Seniors ruling the senior court . . . decorations highlighting the water tower . . . potato chip crumbs and peanut shells ornamenting the cafeteria . . . any place in or outside of the school could be seen evidence of previous years of planning, combined with today’s modern techniques. Blue and gold were the colors chosen in 1958 to represent the school, and Trojan the name for athletic teams. Gradually the Trojan head appeared on class rings, lettermens sweaters, and band uniforms, thus becoming Highland High’s insignia. Other innovations have been formed in more recent years, among them being the victory bell. It is through innovations like this, that traditions are formed. Adding finishing touches to their snowman. Seniors proudly claim him as being their properly making use of their pri vileges including their pri vote court. Honoring feats of outstanding individuals and teams are the increasing number of trophies symbolizing the success through- out the past and present years at Highland High. Watchful eyes gaze upon the splendid array of colors “We’ve gotta win . . Similar cries of hope and anxiety were evidence of the Trojan spirit as finishing touches were put on the floats and cars after many endless hours of preparation and dedication. Hundreds of faces lined the sidewalks and watchful eyes were fixed upon the splendid array of colors coming down Kennedy Avenue. Leading the procession for the first time to the football field was the newly organized and uniformed ROTC cadets serving as color guards. Varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders boosted spirit as they led cheers along the parade route. Cruising down the avenue, the parade of distinguished looking floats and cleverly decorated cars signified all the time and energy exerted by classes and clubs. Tension visibly mounted as the time for the long awaited half-time activities began, which was highlighted by the announcements of the queen and float honors. Stuffing flower after flower into chicken wire, senior Carol Wargo realizes the work necessary to produce a float. Dragons on Kennedy Avenue? The Signpainters prove with their parade entry that nothing is impossible at Home- coming if some determined effort is pul forth. 8 Homecoming We ' ll Swallow Anythin But Defeet was announced as recipient of second place honors during half-time festivi- ties for the senior class. Sophomores won third place trophy with their entry Run ' Em Down devoting many tedious hours of labor. Representing the Girls ' Athletic Association. Juniors Terri Schau and Betty Bodley, and Senior Inky Band- enieks lake part in the homecoming festivities. Homecoming 9 Driven by earnest determination. Senior Larry Mays is im- pelled toward the goal line, cautiously casting glances in all directions in search of one of the dreaded Bulldogs. Kleenex, chicken wire, and sore fingers became quite familiar to juniors who dedicated much of their time and effort to win first place trophy for their reward. After planning careful strategy, Trojan warriors positioned themselves ready to snap the ball, hoping for that necessary play to score a vital touchdown. 10 Homecoming Despite frustrations Trojans evince gallant struggle Seconds lapsed . . . spirit rose . . . once again homecoming — all those weary hours of work and anticipation had reached a climax. Steady beats of rain were heard . . . tired eyes became tearful and gloom prevailed through the halls, as the downfall intensified. Suddenly, all those quiet conversations of “What are we going to do?” became shouts of joy, as the rain subsided. Propelled by the increasing tempo of spirit, Trojan fans again anxiously awaited results of the evening. Nervously awaiting the final announcement, the six queen nominees circled the field . . . anxiety reached its peak as Lorrie Martin was crowned 1967 Homecoming Queen by Linda Parades, last year’s queen. Tension resumed its former potency as the junior class proudly accepted first place honors for their float, “Make ’Em Whine.” “We’ll Swallow Anything But De-feet”, captured second for the seniors, while the sophomores won third place awards with their entry, “Run ’Em Down.” Demonstrating valuable strategy throughout the game, the mighty Trojans made an all concerted team effort to overpower the opposing Crown Point Bulldogs, but were surpassed by a score of 17 — 0. Tears of happiness are revealed as Senior Lorrie Martin ac- cepts the crown as the 1967 Homecoming Queen from Alumnus Linda Paredes and receives congratulations from her court. Boosting the school spirit of the fans and team. Varsity cheerleaders. Juniors Nancy Biggs and Stephanie Frulh play their part in making the eighth homecoming a success. Reaction of the audience was one of hysterical laughter as Mrs. Vida Louise Sim- mons, portrayed by Margaret Bertez, returns from the asylum after a trying day as a patient overcome by the daily strain of a mental case. John Ripley, portraying Judge Omar Gaffney, pauses for a few pensive moments to explain his plans to Mrytle Mae Simmons, played b y Rosemary Locasto in the play ' Harvey , the story of an imaginary white rabbit. I hear someone coming. explains orderly Kevin Macko- wiak to Dr. Sanderson, portrayed by Don Ashmann, during a brief discussion about one of the patients, a six foot rabbit, seen and heard by only Dodd. 12 Play Convocations provide entertainment, broaden knowledge She could pass for a dehydrated prune! Even the strangest and most absurd characters realistically come alive in the world of dramatics with the essentials of make-up, hair spray, and costumes. Make-up and designing crews proved to be as valuable as the cast in making the production a success. Awaiting that decisive moment when the curtain rises only to reveal a sea of watchful eyes, apprehensive cast members practiced transforming themselves into their roles. Restraints of laughter could be detected throughout the gymnasium as convocation speakers strived to entertain students. Among the guests was the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, alias Dick Blake who certainly swayed many individuals into believing history repeats itself. The first convo of the school season was traditionally sponsored by the Student Council. Good morning, students, begins Jean Diekman. Many of the con vos given are sponsored by student organizations. Dick Blake ' s well-developed talent is evident by his por- trayal of Abraham Lincoln in an all-school convocation. Convocations 13 Enjoying an evening which will long he remembered. Seniors Randy Benesh and Pat Corlen pause for a few solitude moments together surrounded by an atmosphere of huge multi-colored flowers and streamers. Waltzing to one of their favorite sounds, Senior Doug Juhasz and Jean Mil- ler manage to find time for just one more dance to add to their score of delight- ful memories of an unforgettable evening. Gazing into the wishing pond. Senior Shari Decker and Alumnus Bill Austin toss a coin hoping that someday their dreams will come true before crossing the wooden bridge into the wonderland of fantasy. “ Wonderland Fantasy” offers everlasting memories “So she followed him through a keyhole and then ...” Just as Alice found herself amidst a “Wonderland Fantasy”, so did those who attended the 1967 Junior — Senior Prom. Upon entering the giant keyhole, couples were greeted by an atmosphere of fantasy and delight. A brilliant background was provided by the use of multi- colored flowers which transformed the cafeteria into an ‘enchanted forest’. Some couples swayed rhythmically to the sounds of the Vito Manno Orchestra, while others, seated at tables adorned with flo wers, enjoyed the atmosphere and refreshments. Majestically accepting the honor as the new Prom King and Queen, Tony Paglis and Anita Bodley performed their first royal duty by circling the dance floor and leading the Grand March. As the enchanting evening drew to a close, couples slowly drifted away leaving only remnants of the “Wonderland.” With them forever, they took the magic that only memories can possess. Amidst a scene of butterflies and roses. Queen Anita, radiantly beaming, watches as King Tony signs her bid, a remembrance of the memorable evening following their crowning. Majestically surrounded by their court, including Seniors Shari Decker, Jo Ellyn Robbins, Bev Terpstra. Pam Drapeau, Rose- mary Locasto, Mike Cable, Ron Ispas, John Ripley, Rick Hansen, and Randy Benesh, the newly-crowned King and Queen, Tony Paglis and A nita Bodley begin their royal reign. Prom 15 Solemnly marching to their places for the baccalaureate pro- gram graduates Frida Nelson and Randy Osborn realize that they are nearing the end of their high school career. 16 Graduation Mr. Robert Day fulfills his duties of principal as he or- ganizes the procession of 1967 graduates. Delivering the traditional baccalaureate address. Reverend R. O. Lassanske directs his speech to the graduates. With turning of tassels graduation concludes t wel ve year journ ey Graduation 17 And miles to go before I sleep.” Many miles had already been traveled — through bewildering days of the sophomore year to the eventful days of the junior year, up to the most memorable year for the seniors. All the organizations. school spirit, and friendships tooK on a new meaning, as the seniors began realizing that their days at Highland High were numbered. Suddenly, the most significant event of that twelve year journey was at its climax — graduation. Even the most ambitious students were a little reluctant in leaving their school days behind. The memories of the past and reflections of the future were mirrored on the faces of all graduating seniors. Proudly accepting her ticket to the future, Annette Koselke, senior class president, receives congratulations from Mr. A lien J. Warren, superintendent of schools. Salutalorian Cheryl B user’s inspiring speech, The End of the Beginning brought memories of the past and dreams of the future to the minds of her fellow classmates. 18 Academics Academics Reading and understanding, care- fully scanning over lecture notes, an intermittent hum of students ex- changing last minute words, intense concentration . . . these elements, when assembled, create the careful study involved in a student’s quest for knowledge. Opening a book is like opening the door to opportunity. Flowing forth is an abundance of opportunities which, when compiled into a sentence, ex- presses ideals and thoughts for future goals. Knowledge is the ultimate goal of everyday classroom study and home- work. But this knowledge can only be obtained when there exists in the student a quest for learning, whether the knowledge comes from in- structors’ notes, laboratory experi- mentation data, or class room dis- cussions. Students can then readily apply the knowledge they have learned in many classrooms by utilizing modern tech- nical equipment which supplements the growing demand of the student body and the rapidly expanding cur- riculum. Questioning, receiving an answer, comprehending and assimilating . . . this is learning. It is a process ex- perienced by thirteen hundred stu- dents everyday behind classroom doors at Highland High. r Academics 19 Striving to illuminate open class discussion, Mr. Robert Kellam discusses fine points. Conveying major conflicts. Mrs. Gloria Royer reviews elements of the selected novels for the junior level. Reviewing the basic German vocabulary is only one of the many tasks performed by Mrs. Helen Beretz. The language and customs are further investigated by listening to tapes and conducting class dis- cussions. reading books and translating. Pensively gazing at the unfamiliar surroundings. Amparo Ovalle learns new customs and adapts to the ways of the North Americans comparing them to her previous way of living in South America. Foreign students exchange ideas, promote relations Bewildered by a world far dis- tant and different from their na- tive countries were among the mixed emotions experienced by Amparo Stella Orvalle and Maria Christina Reppetto, both exchange students from South America. The experience of learning about foreign soil was exchanged, as students at- tempted to communicate ideas in broken English and Spanish. Dialogues, grammar, story telling and slides were among the many other interesting materials utilized by the German, French, Latin, and Spanish teachers to better assist students in their quest for knowl- edge. Traveling into the world of fantasy, fiction, and realism, English students scrutinize techniques of plot and character development while reading assigned novels, short stories, plays and poetry. World literature and creative writ- ing, both newly introduced courses enabled further develop- ment of the English skill. As a going away present Senior Cindy Speigel presented her house guest Chris Repelto with a Peanuts sweatshirt from the Spanish Club at a monthly meeting. Creativity, that ' s what your themes need! exclaims Mrs. Helena Karr. Eng- lish literature, creative writing, and vo- cabulary lessons are all essentials in senior English for any future use. Foreign Language, English 21 English courses improve abilities to exchange ideas Tension mounts, discomfort strikes, time lapses — suddenly, amidst an atmosphere of apprehensions a be- ginning speech student steps forward to give his first impromtu speech. Be- sides presenting speeches and oral readings, students also give daily an- nouncements. Expression is the key word as high school actors and actresses attempt to transform themselves into their roles. Creating effective costumes, make-up, and props is another im- portant aspect of the drama class. Research and quick thinking are essential for a successful debate. Ex- pressing their views, teams strive to persuade listeners to their interpreta- tion of the controversial topic. Striving to learn the fundamentals of publishing top-notch publications, journalism students develop their in- terests in many journalistic fields. Concentration, determination, and a sincere interest in publications is reflected on the faces of prospective journalists. A talking horse in speech class? Of course not. it ' s only Juniors Linda Parker and Laura Preiss pre- senting a pantomime of a television program, blew techniques in drama offer a variety of fun. 22 Drama, Journalism Resolved that . . begins Senior Marcia Rietman as she expresses her ideas on the pressing problem of national crime. Captivating the interest of fellow debaters requires hours of preparation. Jitters, nervous tension, and butterfly sensations are overcome by students as they learn to present a speech successfully. Junior Bill Allen interests the audience with his presentation. Speech. Debate 23 Essential backgrounds in economics, history, aid students in future years Taking a moment out to informally discuss one of the points of psychology. Mr. Michael Keppler expresses his opinion on the current trend of the Hippie movement. Man — his origin, his behavior, and his history are among the many interesting facets partially explored by social studies students. Classes in world history delved into the depths of time to trace man’s beginnings. In the United States History classes, students came to realize the struggle our fore- fathers went through to establish our country. Government classes discovered how important each vote is on election day when they held their own elections on Novem- ber 7. They traced the processes of democratic government from the writing of the Declaration of In- dependence to the election of pres- ent day officials. Economics is a big topic but through long hours of research, students gained a knowledge of the stock market and how stocks are bought and sold. They also discussed the economic policies of our govern- ment. What makes people tick and why they behave the way they do oc- cupied the thinking of the psy- chology and sociology students as they took and analyzed surveys. Four score and seven years ago, our forefathers brought forth upon this continent . . . quotes Mr. Porter Evans. U.S. History teacher, as he explains the Gettysburg address. By delving into the history of our country, students are better able to appreciate the United States. 24 Social Studies Handing out pamphlets that will further the student’s knowledge of economics, Mr. Robert Selund gives his pupils a chance to use all the latest techniques which will draw the students closer to the subiect pertaining io the distribution of national wealth. Writing term papers is just one of the many things that Senior Pat Habel does to help her better understand the complicated workings of our nation ' s governmental structure and its functionings. Social Studies 25 Students gain experience of diverse business tasks, fjz . . . oops! Along with all the frustrations and problems of the busi- ness leaders-to-be, comes the nev- er-ending sounds of the clacking of typewriters, the pecking of adding machines, and the rustling of papers and books. Learning the rudiments of the business world, students encounter the diverse tasks of applied econom- ics, bookkeeping, clerical practices, shorthand, notehand, general busi- ness, typing, business machines, and consumer’s math, which directs them to a better understanding and knowl- edge of their chosen occupation. “Growing pains” were experi- enced with the addition of mer- chandising and salesmanship courses which were introduced last year. Plans for distributive education were also being made. This plan would en- able students to attend school in the morning and work in the afternoon for both credit and salary. Developing skills for an occupation they will later pursue, and strength- ening abilities to cope with the out- side world are goals of the business leaders of tomorrow. Basic skills of speed, accuracy, and style are developed by Senior Linda Nordstrom as she practices the routine requirements and principles of typing. Future business students find typing a necessity and an advantage for their eventual business careers. Diligently working to perfect her shorthand. Senior Kathy McQuiston completes one of her many daily assignments which will help put her one step nearer her goal of becoming an expert in the business world. Oh, no. not again.” Senior Cindy Chumbley ponders on the distressing situation. Such un- predictable experiences as broken ribbons and jammed keys are overcome by all typists. 26 Business by completing assignments Proofreading final copies. Senior Fran Polesak delects the correct pro- cedures for operating the mimeograph machine. Pointing out some of the various business districts in the Highland area. Mr. Timothy Borowski explains the importance of merchandising to stu- dents who anticipate becoming prominent business leaders. Business 27 Senior Gail Yuhasz intently observes as Mr. Ron Surdzial expounds upon the combination of atoms in the model. Similar constructions enable a wider understanding of atomic structure. Experimenting with the fundamentals of physics, Mr. Lee Farley views the situation as Senior Sue Kwolek conducts her investigation, later trying to verify her speculations. ROTC added, Counter-march three . . . four. With the shrill blowing of a whistle, the squadron abruptly came to at- tention. These were among the sights and sounds that readily be- came familiar to Highland High students as A.F.R.O.T.C. cadets practiced their daily drills and pre- pared tor weekly inspections. Being selected from eight Calu- met area high schools as the one to host areo-space education program was a high honor for Highland. Inquisitive students began asking questions like “Is Highland really turning over a new leaf as a mili- tary academy?” which were rapidly answered . . . No! Careful precision was also in- stilled in the science department. Here, students were given the op- portunity to search for unknowns in chemical solutions, to dissect and explore the hidden mysteries of living organisms, and to seek an- swers and to grasp an understand- ing of thermodynamics, energy, and molecular structure. 28 Science amateur scientists delve into vast, unexplored regions v Standing at attention, the AFROTC cadets undergo regular routine inspection by Sergeant Schwab. This newly organized group practices regular drills and manuvers during their weekly drill periods conducted on the high school campus. Mr. Larry Johnson explains the many intri- cate systems in the frog’s anatomy. Relating unusual situations in the chemical world, Mr. Ron Surdzial explains the im- portance of combining only the indicated ingredients when performing experiments. ROTC. Science 29 30 Math Chords, radii, and secants, all essential properties of the geometric world are pointed out by Mrs. Jean Hoff. To aid students in the understanding of such complex principles, model structures are employed. Examining each step of his identity, Senior John Decker proves the trigonometric statement. Adding to the competition of the class, students volunteer and receive extra credit for their board work. After receiving answers fed back from the main computer at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Junior John Balog carefully reads the punched code to decipher the solution to the problem. Improbable situations receive solutions from computers Highland Trojans tie the Green Bay Packers! Incredible, even the most unusual problems can turn into realities with the assistance of a com- puter. Seconds after feeding the proper information into the “electro- nic brain,” solutions are readily and accurately computed. Data processing and programming techniques are studied by students. After completing programs they are sent to the computer, located in the Illinois Institute of Technology via the teletype machines. Computer Math, a newly offered course, consists of using a large digital computer to solve problems selected from trigonometry and cal- culus. With the aid of compasses, pro- tractors, slide rules, and other es- sential tools, studies have been made of the basic fundamentals in the world of numbers. Probing into the various fields, young mathematicians have discovered its importance. During study time given to complete home- work, Mr. Leroy Cable assists Senior Jim Chadwick with problem solutions. Contemplating results. Senior Tony Paglis types under the supervision of Mr. Donald Clark, computer programming instructor. Computer Programing 31 Budding artists cultivate creative imagination, ingenuity Joy felt when hearing music, rev- erence for perfect rendering of a hymn, awe at rough stone turned into a thing of beauty, admiration for an interesting painting All of these emotions are within us and only need some direction for us to really benefit from the cultural experience the fine arts ex- tend to all. Through the training in art classes, students are better able to appreciate great art throughout their lives. Beautiful music well performed is pleasant to all of the senses. In the music appreciation classes students had the opportunity to hear some of the classics. Those with talent and ability were encouraged to per- form in the eight vocal and choral groups as they performed in con- certs, marched in the band or sang in the operetta. Sophomores Marlene Sul ion and Phyllis Misecko, using the essential tools of a straight edge and pencil, develop skills of prospective drawing in advanced art classes. With brush in hand. Seniors Joy Taylor, Roslyn Peterson, and Pam Gregory add finishing touches to their original creations by utilizing their artistic talent. 32 Fine A rts Practicing before the watchful eye of Mrs. Carolyn Robinson for future vocations are seniors Deleta Williams and Joyce Muha exhibiting proper bedmaking procedures. Domestic scene studied thoroughly by future mothers U-m-m-m-m ... I don’t think it’s coming from the chemistry lab! Tracing all the fragrant aromas which drifted out into the corridors and classrooms, its origin was found in the foods class, where busy home ec students were preparing foods ranging from light snacks to full course dinners. With the intermittent hum of busy machines, sewing students were kept busy with laying out patterns, stitching and basting seams, and hemming final creations. Practicing the basics of child care and caring for a family was the goal of family living students. Home management courses give the future wives and mothers an opportunity to acquire skills of precise planning and budgeting essential in manag- ing a successful home. Prior to cutting. Juniors Jackie Cummins and Carolyn Harris carefully layout the pattern using precision and neatness. Debbie Morrow, sophomore, utilizes various techniques instilled in sewing class. Home Economics 33 New equipment promotes better educational opportunity Purring engines, buzzing saws, and hissing torches are only a few of the many sounds vibrating throughout the industrial arts wing. Creative minds are developed with the designing, engineering, and draw- ing involved in the mechanical and architectural drawing courses. Expansion of the curriculum called for a new graphic arts class. Apply- ing the principles of silk screen, let- terpress, and lithography, students gain a knowledge of the field. Electronics students investigate the basic properties of electricity and electrical wiring by examining small appliances. Techniques of constructing useful wood furniture and metal objects are used in the wood and metal shops. Analyzing the function and purpose of each intricate part, power mechan- ics students carefully dismantle and reassemble various types of engines, to cultivate a better knowledge of motors. Practical .experience in these classes today will develop into the careers and hobbies of tomorrow. Pondering over the measurements of a draft- ing construction is Sophomore Pam Krivach. By using new equipment, Francis Conn finds he can better comprehend electrical concepts. Seniors. Dan Toth and Jim Guinn tediously set a paragraph of Gothic Type for one of their assignments. These students are among the many who have taken part in the new Graphic Arts course. Grinding, smoothing, and cutting are among the many useful jobs a welding student such as Senior Richard Waugh learns in the process of completing welding projects. Utilizing one of the many machines available in the wood shop are Junior Wes Heubner and Senior Paul Ziemniak. Industrial. Graphic Arts 35 Students develop strength, stamina in daily exercise “Act like a tree? Yes — a real live tree!” Strange? No, not really. Even the strangest feats are brought into reality in the physical education classes. Originality and creativity add to the fun and variety of the course. Striving for complete physical fitness, students learn the rudiments of refresh- ing and invigorating skills in basketball, football, cageball, tumbling, and gym- nastics. Competitive team sports reveal the necessity of good sportsmanship. In- dividually, students are given skill tests to determine abilities and are allowed to continue on their own pace. Aside from the regular athletic rou- tine, square dancing, creative move- ment, and free exercise are practiced for balance, poise, and further de- velopement of muscle tone. Straining that extra inch to raise himself over the bar, Senior Alan Hope develops his muscles and coordination with chin-up exercises. I wonder if could do that.” thinks Senior Kathy Kovack as she surveys the techniques used by Senior Sharon Wiley and Junior Vicki Cornell while they execute free exercise stunts. 36 Physical Education Summer classes give students educational opportunities Silent hush lingering about empty corridors . . . dust motes gently drift- ing .. . suddenly, like an explosion this tranquil scene disappears and leaves in its place the hustle and bustle of hundreds of students be- ginning another summer school session. Creative artists, experimental chemists, and apprehensive speakers learn the fundamerttals of their classes and how to apply them. Economics, government, biology, math, English, history and mechanical drawing are offered to summer school students. Ranking highest in enrollment, the drivers’ education courses teach novice drivers the fundamentals of safety and operation of the automo- bile. Driving two or three times a week, students spend the remaining time in class. Working on the summer edition of the Trojanal which is distributed weekly to the students, journalists learn the key to good reporting and apply this knowledge to their work. Even a girl can change a lire! Drivers ' educa- tion classes prepare the young woman driver for a future emergency. Diligent, precise typing is carefully performed by summer school students anxious to begin their business courses at Highland High School. Learning the history of music as well as the many different notes which compose it are eager summer school students of music appreciation. Summer School 37 Athletics Tension mounts! The game is about to begin. All of the athletes have cleared their minds and as students watch, they see each jaw tighten, and note the look of intense concen- tration come over the face of the athletes. Each one is trying to remem- ber all of the instructions he has re- ceived in preparation for this mo- ment. In team sports such as basketball and football, the game depends not only on individual ability but also on the concerted efforts of the team mem- bers who work in cooperation with one another. In individual sports however, each athlete must strive to win or lose for himself and Highland High . . . this is the thread that ties all athletes together. There are many levels of competi- tion at Highland including intra- murals for athletes who enjoy com- petition but don’t have the inclination to compete on the interscholastic level. Athletes who devote much time to practice and preparation enjoy the thrill of interscholastic competition. Each athlete who takes part in athletic program profits by gaining knowledge of the sport, and his en- thusiasm — win or lose, is nourished each time he has the opportunity to take the field and feel the excitement of pride representing Highland High in any athletic event. A thletics 39 Trojans open year with Undaunted by the opposition, Trojan fullback Mike Curtis storms down the muddy gridiron to earn a touchdown for the Highland team. To down the Griffith ball carrier is the motive of defensive end Randy Benesh as he moves in toward the Griffith advancing line. A waiting the play, the defensive unit tries to block a Griffith drive. 40 Football Emerson victory It sometimes seems unjust that football teams are mostly judged by their won and loss record. The fair- ness of this evaluation does not con- sider the closeness of the scores or why and how games were lost. Most of all, it does not tell how good a team really was, or what the record would have been if the ball would have bounced differently in one game, or if one certain play had been successful. An early-season win could have spirited the Trojans, and this momentum could have carried them through to a winning season. As it was, Highland finished with a 2 — 6 — 1 season record. The amount of hard work, time, effort, and pain endured by both the players and coaching staff can not be measured by the disappointing record. Highland opened the season by whipping Gary Emerson. The Tro- jan’s hopes of a conference cham- pionship dwindled when they lost to Lake Central and Portage. After a tie with Munster and a 7 — 0 win over Merrillville, the Men of Troy dropped their last four ballgames. Coach Ken Sypull. aided by Assistant Coach Sekula, screams instructions to a player during one of the Trojan ' s important contests. Behind a handful of blockers, halfback Dave Gilbert tries to use his training of cuts and fakes in order to break away. Football 41 Trojan gridmen end 2-6-1 season while rebuilding Spirit! That’s what a good football team needs. The emotions of the team are just as vital to success as quick thinking, good size, and ex- perienced lettermen. Coach Sypult attempted to arouse this feeling in his team throughout the season, but the players were sub- jected to steaming heat, frozen fields and harsh criticism. Only the ones who wanted to play; the ones who wanted a starting berth withstood this punishment without complaints, but rather with strong performances during the games. Although the sea- son as a whole was not too successful, many individuals performed their jobs with notable efficiency. Larry Mays attempts to cut by several would- be tacklers in the Merrillville game. Mays threw to Benesh for the only score. End Randy Benesh strains to latch onto an aerial in order to gain more yardage against the Lake Central Indians. Trying to run past a horde of Merrillville tacklers, Larry Mays helped the Trojans cause as Highland triumphed by a 7 — 0 score. 42 Football Determination covers the face of hard-running fullback Vic Foshion as he lugs the ball during the Merrillville contest.

Combining youth with experience, Coach Mathers hoped to build for the future while giving the underclass- men a chance to mature. Seniors Brian Benda and Herschel Morris represented Highland’s only hopes in the Lake County Tennis As- sociation tournament in which they placed second in the doubles competi- tion. Sophomores Phil Amodeo and Jim McDonald rounded out the sec- ond doubles play throughout the sea- son. Randy Sawtell provided the needed depth in the first singles spot while Darold Nichols played second man singles. Mike Chumbley, playing in the third singles competition, com- pleted the singles division.

Under the expert guidance of sophomore Coach Michael Poehlein, the Trojan harriers attained a 13 — 3 log while ending up 3rd in the Calumet Con- ference standings. Rick Espitia and Tony Zatkulak proved to be the one-two punch in the Trojans’ attack as Rick became the first Highland runner ever to win the individual state championship while Tony finished 9th in the stiff final competition at Indianapolis. Coach Poehlein added a new in- novation this season: the running of the 1st Annual Highland Invitational in which the Trojan team thoroughly humbled Gavit, Griffith, Noll, Tech, Morton, and Gary Lew Wallace. Displaying the dedication so essential to a good runner, Rick Espitia led the Trojans. Battling for the lead in the Highland Invita- tional, three Trojans show good team balance.

Marv Scheeringa takes first place in State Tourney Highland’s wrestlers charged to an impressive 11 — 2 — 1 record and were vaulted into second place in the hotly- contested Calumet Conference race. Under the leadership of first year coach Larry Johnson, the Trojans produced one state champion as Mar- vin Scheeringa copped the 103 lb. weight class title, while Martin Schee- ringa captured the sectional title of the 1 12 lb. weight class. With only two returning lettermen, the Trojans were boosted by the out- standing performances put forth by the sophomore wr estlers. Sophomores Lee Loy, Jeff Pasquin- elli, and Jovan Vercel also sparked the Trojans with their consistent ef- forts. Vercel, in the 165 lb. weight class, wrestled his way to a third place finish in the sectionals. Calumet and Gavit were the only teams to stop the Trojans while Crown Point gained a tie. Junior heavyweight Jeff Harkin demonstrates one of the various techniques of bringing down an opponent as Junior Varsity Coach Michael Poehlein watches hopefully. 46 Wrestling Junior Chuck McShane attempts to escape from the hold which his op- ponent has used on him in his struggle with a Portage Indian.

Words of encouragement boost the morale of the mighty Trojans. 48 Basketball Trojans upset Governors, bow to Tech in sectionals Striving to attain the conference championship trophy which their predecessors had captured, the 1968 Trojan basketball team ended the season with a 2 — 18 record. Claiming victories over Whiting 75 — 61 and Gary Wirt 67 — 63, the predominately underclass team gained experience and confidence with each additional game. Junior Bob Szabo led the team scoring with a total of 258 points for the season. Sophomore guard Mike Law tallied 220 markers during the season while outpointing senior team- mates Dean Carrico and Randy Benesh who had 193 and 184 points, respectively. Highland entered the sectionals with high hopes as they stunned the Morton Governors before bowing to the Hammond Tech Tigers. Mr. Paul Schuyler, the Junior Varsity coach, led his team, com- posed entirely of sophomores, to a hard-fought 10 — 10 record.

Basketball 49 Trojan basketballers finish season with 2 — 18 record Lacking the needed experience, the 1967-68 Trojan basketballers suffered through its worst season in several years while finishing with a lack- luster 2 — 18 record and winding up last in the Calumet Conference race. With a new coach, only four re- turning lettermen, and a new system to be learned, the Trojans attempted to overcome these factors. Coach Darrell Morken tried to instill the needed determination and stamina in his charges to withstand the rigors of the punishing basketball season. Although unfamiliar with the type of basketball played in the Calumet Region, Coach Morken at- tempted to adjust to the new methods as quickly as possible. Size and hustle were the most out- standing plus factors which the Tro- jan team possessed. Poor ballhan- dling and inconsistent guard play proved to be weaknesses which ham- pered Highland’s cagers throughout the 1968 basketball season. Evading two Munster Mustangs, senior guard Ron Ispas attempts to sink another basket for the Trojan cause on a driving layup.

Trojan pitcher Tim Juran prepares to fan an East Gary batter during last year ' s game which ended in a 4 — 3 victory. “Strike three,” became a familiar sound to Highland’s opponents dur- ing the 1968 Trojan baseball sea- son as the hickorymen returned with six battle-tested lettermen. Senior Tim Juran and Junior Dave Gilbert headlined the Trojan pitching staff which was also bol- stered by the return of a few out- standing junior varsity players from last year’s team. Four other seasoned performers were again called upon to carry the Trojan load. Senior catcher Mike Cable, infielder Ron Ispas, outfielder Pat Roche, and pitcher Joe Skertich were the veterans who Coach Leroy Cable and Assistant Coach Robert Sekula counted upon. Highland captured third in the heated ’67 Calumet Conference race with an improved 8 — 3 record. Trojan victories included wins over Portage, Lowell, Calumet, Gary Wirt, and Gary Edison. Hanover Central, East Gary, Lake Central, Griffith, and Munster were also downed by last year’s team. The Tro- jans also took second place in the sectionals. Baseball 55 Three lettermen return following record of 15 — 5 Highland High’s golf team should surpass its 1967 season record of 15 — 5 as three leading golfers return. Coach Harry Mathers will count on Seniors Keith Lane, Bill Phillips, and Daryl Slamkowski to lead the Tro- jan linkmen throughout the golf sea- son. These three, along with alumni Bob Barenie and Dave Tuskan, were mainly responsible for last year’s 8 — 3 record which was good for a 3rd place finish in the Calumet Con- ference. Last year marked the first time Highland competed in the state final competition as a team. The turfmen attained this distinction by finishing in 3rd place in both the sectional and regional matches. Daryl Slamkowski finished first in the regionals with a score of 79. The Trojans could not keep up with this hot pace however, as they slipped to 12th place in the final meet in Indianapolis. Exhibiting the proper stance and foot place- ment, Senior Keith Lane practices using his different irons. 56 Golf Starting his backswing while keeping his eyes glued on the ball.

Increased teams, players give new outlook to ’68 basketball intramurals Highland High’s Intramural pro- gram, under the direction of Mr. Robert Selund, increased this year as two new teams and over 80 boys took part. Gaining this year’s crown were the Celtics with a 9—0 record. Composed of seniors, they also led the league as the highest scoring team and as the best defensive team. Tom Richards served as captain of the team, but the steady play of Larry Michalec, Dan Henley, Rick Espitia, Tim Juran, and Joe Skertich were the deciding factors. Closely following the Celtics were the Cougars, made up of juniors. Captained by Bob Hobbs, the Cougars finished the season with an 8 — 1 log. The Hawks followed in third place along with the Bullets with records of 6 wins and 3 losses. Tied for fifth place were the Rams and the Eagles with 5 — 4 records. The Lions, War- riors, and Pacers all had identical 2 — 7 records which earned them a share of 7th place. The Colts, com- prised entirely of sophomores, failed to win a game while losing nine.

First, as an institution of learning where it forms a community within its walls. But school is more than academic study. It is a place where students make lasting acquaintances, explore interests, and the only way this can occur is through student participa- tion in organizations. School life at Highland High is a time to join a group for most, and a time to share ideas. By this trans- action of thoughts, organizations are formed. Organizations vary because in- dividuals vary in personality, char- acter and interest. Some organizations are established to honor students for achievements, others to provide a framework for a collective exchange of ideas and still others serve the community. No matter what the or- ganizations’ purpose however, mem- bers learn to accept responsibility and gain a feeling of belonging. By this participation students reap an abundance of self-satisfaction. But the members are not the only ones who gain through this participa- tion. Because new innovations of thought are expressed during activity period meetings, the club and school can expand to better meet the needs of the students and community. Organizations 63 Student Council sponsors service, social projects Meeting every other Monday night, the Student Council of High- land High kept several goals in mind. Their purpose: to settle any matters important to the student body. Their aim: to improve High- land High and make it a better foundation of learning. To save the mailmen a few steps, the Student Council set up their own Christmas card mailing service and, thereby, helped spread Christmas cheer throughout the building. By sponsoring their crowd-gather- ing Fun Fair, and their slave market at the Mardi Gras, the Student Coun- cil adopted a homeless Vietnamese orphan. Spirit week before Sectionals and the revision of the Student Handbook were the novice ideas presented by the Student Council and well ac- cepted by the student body.

Christmas season brings Key Club’s holly, wreath sales “Deck the halls with boughs of holly!!” With the coming of December and Christmas, Highland High School ' s Key Club once again undertook their holly and wreath sales, and by doing so, helped bol- ster Holiday spirit. Backed by Kiwanis International, the Key Club performed its duties as a service club emphasizing the promotion of citizenship in the school, community, state, and coun- try. Increasing its membership by twenty-nine, the club initiated these new members and honored the parents of all members in a banquet at San Remo Restaurant. Assisting their parent organiza- tion, the Highland Kiwanis, Key Clubbers sold peanuts and aided them in their annual Pancake Day. Under the direction of Mr. Mel Anderson, sponsor; Tom McDonald, president; Terry Goddard, vice- president; Dave Ranich, secretary; and Kelly Okamoto, treasurer; the club’s many service and social projects were carried out in their traditional manner. Key club members Chuck Thompson and Gary Smith deliver Christmas cheer with their customer ' s holly as they endeavor to aid Highland citizens.

And so began the basketball game between the faculty and the boys of the National Honor Society. The teachers reigned victorious, winning by a slight margin of 44— 42. Many hold the misconception that only “brains” receive membership into NHS. This membership is gained only by those second semester juniors and first semester seniors who rank high in leadership, service, and character; besides maintaing a 7.5 grade index. Fifty eight members of the class of ’68 met these qualifications. What!!?!! Highland High had stu- dents in the leading roles on a television show?

Quil! and Scroll 67 Y-Teens wash faculty cars, supply Thanksgiving dinner In order for the Y-Teens to present their Christmas skit before the patients of the Tri-State Manor Rest Home many after school practice sessions were necessary. A Thanksgiving dinner for a destitute family and favors for the old and mentally retarded were among the thoughtful gestures per- formed by the Y-Teens during the past year. Affiliated with the Young Wom- en’s Christian Association, the main purpose of Y-Teens is to help each girl develop her own character. Soggy sneakers, drenched clothes, and pneumonia-stricken girls were all results of the Y-Teens’ car wash. Trying to make the day a little brighter for the teachers at High- land High School, the girls volun- tarily washed the cars of all faculty members. Proving that there is somebody who really cares, Y-Teen mem- bers furnished a turkey and all the trimmings to one of the less fortu- nate families of Hammond. The girls also distributed small favors to the patients of Tri-State Manor Rest Home, and to the students in the retarded class at various ele- mentary schools. Y-TEENS— BOTTOM ROW: N. Hruska, P.

Sign Painters display creative talents in corridors Picasso’s, Rembrandt’s, Da Vinci’s, Van Gogh’s of tomorrow — the Sign Painters of today. The ripping of paper, the sound of a paint brush flowing swiftly across a sheet of construction paper, and the sharp crackle of staples fastening finished projects to bul- letin boards, all give indications of hard working Sign Painters. Their willing and able talent is put to use by helping other school clubs and organizations advertise their ac- tivities. Portraying the various seasons of the year, the Sign Painters utilized the halls, corridors, and windows of the school as a display case for their handiwork and talent. Miss Marjorie Bluhm, sponsor; directs the activities of the organi- zation with the help of Jane Schabel, president; Pat Barnes, vice-presi- dent; and Sue Tarbuck, secretary- treasurer; club officers. Wax. brushes and imaginative ideas are dis- played on the school windows, as the sign painters decorate for the yuletide season.

What was the reason for bringing these toys? The reason was for the Future Business Leaders of America’s an- nual toy drive. Willing to donate their “old friends” which they had been collecting since childhood, students offered games, dolls, and stuffed animals to be taken to various orphanages and children’s hospitals in the area just in time for Christmas. To help students better understand the opportunities and rewards a busi- ness career has to offer, and to help them become better community busi- ness leaders were the main goals and purposes the FBLA kept in mind throughout the year.

Future teachers given head start in chosen career Pausing at the desk of one of her elementary students, cadet teacher Carol Suroviak explains in detail one of the many concepts third graders find hard to understand. These teachers help the regular classroom teachers in any way possible by typing tests, checking them, and running any errands. “What kind of courses will I need for college? Is it better to go to a private university or a state school? What can I expect to get out of four years of college besides a license to teach?” These were a few of the many questions that plagued members of the Future Teachers of America. With the assis- tance of Miss Alpha Braunswarth and Miss Fontaine Athans, sponsors, and the many guest speakers, these, and all other questions were answered. To give students a head start on their teaching career, FTA allowed senior members of the organization to be aids to regular teachers by performing nu- merous small tasks for them. In order to recognize outstanding members of the club, the Future Teach- ers of America gave two $100 scholar- ships to graduating seniors. Finishing up the year’s activities were a soc-hop and the annual faculty break- fast. This breakfast was in accordance with National Teacher Appreciation Week. FTA 71 FHH members visit area hospitals, cheer children Picking out their favorite recipes from the cookbooks the Future Homemakers of Highland sold as Christmas presents are Jane Skelly, Barb Lovrinich.Judy Carlson, Lois Yoder, and Janet Klein. “Being a housewife will be a cinch. There’s nothing to it, all you have to do is cook, sew, make formulas, and know how to change diapers.” By belonging to the Future Homemakers of High- land, the seventy members found out the truth about homemaking, that it is not as easy as it seems, and they also discovered many of the special arts that help make homemaking enjoy- able. Taking time out, the girls sponsored a mother-daughter tea last spring that gave the girls and their mothers a chance to get to know and understand each other a little better. Vists were taken to several area hospitals by the girls to help the sick, to cheer the chil- dren, and to offer their assistance where- ever and whenever it was needed. “What should I buy my mother for Christmas this year?” Plaguing many students last December, this question was readily answered by the FHH. They sold four varieties of cookbooks, meats, vegetables, salads, and desserts. FHH— BOTTOM ROW: i. Reed, K. Bellinghausen, L. Wothke, P. Luyster, J. Skelly, secretary; J. Klein, president; J.

Since all members plan a profession which involves service to others, they now get a taste of what it will be like by donating food for Christmas and Easter baskets for the needy. Several field trips were taken by club members to various medical institu- tions. They also took a day off to go on a picnic. All members and their guests were invited. Mr. Jon Hendrix, original club spon- sor was aided this year by two new sponsors, Miss Emily Gibson, and Mr. Larry Johnson.

Pictures, copy, and white space — the three elements that comprise a yearbook. After much earnest thought it was decided to add color pictures and eight more pages. Another high standard was set for the ’68 book when the ratings from last year’s Shield came in. The ’67 was honored with an All-American from the NSPA, an A+ rating from the NSYA, and a Medalist rating from the CSPA. Always eager to learn more about student publications, many Shield staff members spent two weeks of living yearbook, talking yearbook, and thinking yearbook at Indiana, Ball State, and Michigan State Universities.

CENTAUR staff completes magazine at school From the first copy blocks to the final copies of the Centaur, hot off the press, everything was done at the high scho.ol. Thanks to the new graph- ic arts department, these Centaurs no longer had to be sent out to be printed. Creative students and a hard work- ing staff assisted Jo Ellyn Robbins, editor-in-chief; and Judy Rabatin, associate editor, in their preparation of this year’s Centaur. Keeping the town of Flighland and its neighboring communities informed as to what was in the news at High- land High School proved to be the greatest job for the News Bureau. Each week news releases were dis- tributed to the Hammond Times, the Highland Journal, and the Calumet Press to be published. Major editors during 1967-68 were Karen Rodgers, first semester gen- eral manager; Laurel Habzansky, second semester manager; Pat Corten, feature editor; and Cheryl Kula, photography editor. Linda Steen, Judy Rabatin, Jo Ellyn Robbins, and Lynda Beard, major editors of this year s Centaur eagerly await the first copies oj the general interest magazine, which were printed for the first time, in the newly-completed graphic arts department, furnished with all new equipment.

News Bureau 79 Comparing the new techniques they acquired this summer while attending various drama institutes at the University of Denver, Indiana University, and Northwestern University are John Bozak, Linda Steen, and John Ripley, drama enthusiasts. Participating in a one-week journalism workshop at Northern Illinois University last July, Mary McFarland, Irene Weinstein, Dee Snow, Karen Lassanske, and Vonnie Ginther learned the basic fundamentals of producing award-winning student publications. A project on high energy physics was com- pleted by Richard Pope, senior, at the science workshop he attended at Indiana University. 80 Institutes Taking part in two one week workshops al l.U. Jean Diekman, Sally Bennett, Jean Mil- ler, Greg Turean, Tony Zatkulak, and Andy Menzyk were Highland ' s delegates at Girls ' and Boys’ State. Senior John Ripley spent two weeks this summer at Indiana University studying the procedures of running a well organized Stu- dent Council and government. Students travel to various university campuses to gain knowledge, skills Finding the answer to her problem on the slide rule. Sue Kwolek practices the skills which she developed this summer at a math workshop at the University of Michigan. Class lectures, assigned home- work, free time, and planned recrea- tion, all combined to make every institute attended by a Highland High student worthwhile. Learning how to take, develop, and crop pictures, make page lay- outs, write captions and feature stories, journalism students at- tended workshops at Ball State, In- diana, Michigan State, and Northern Illinois Universities. A knowledge of the Indiana state government was gained by six juniors, chosen for their interest in history, who participated in Girls’ and Boys’ State at Indiana University. Acquiring several of the intriguing and intricate styles of dramatics and music, and the more advanced techniques of mathematics, Highland High students traveled to the Uni- versity of Denver and Indiana Uni- versity to gain these skills. Journalism workshops at Michigan State, Indiana, and Ball State Universities were attended by Gail Miller, Nancy Clark, and Linda Wasko, (BOTTOM ROW), Pat Rossner, Sally Bennett, Bonnie Bard, Kathy Chiabai, Sue Bishop, and Sue Baade, (TOP ROW). Gait, Nancy, Linda, Sally, and Bonnie acquired many yearbook basics, while Pat, Sue, Kathy and Sue learned about newspaper production techniques and new innovations in journalism.

Drama club aids in producing two successful plays Lights! Camera! Action! And so another play presented by the Drama Club got under way. The weeks spent in preparation finally paid off as the young actors and actresses again brought the house down. Designing sets, sewing costumes, arranging lighting, and endless nights of rehearsing were prepara- tions taken by the Drama Club members for their first play of the year, “Harvey”, staged on Novem- ber 15, 16, and 17. “We Have Always Lived In a Castle,” presented in the spring, two soc-hops, and a booth at the Mardi-Gras were also included in the list of activities sponsored by the Drama Club. Membership in the National Thes- pian Society was issued to ten students as a reward for excep- tional work in the field of dramat- ics. Thespians were led by Pam Drapeau, president; John Ripley, vice-president; and Linda Steen, secretary-treasurer; and inspired by Mrs. Annabelle Shone, sponsor. 82 Thespians El wood P.

Discussion club informs members on literary works “In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.” This quote, being one of the key-note sen- tences from John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, valued much debate from the members of the Literary Dis cussion Club. Delving deeply into the plots, themes and ideas of The Crucible, Babi Yar, As 1 Lay Dying, and The Power and the Glory gave students an opportunity to further their studies and enjoyment of unusual works along with many literary masterpieces.

Though the di- alogue is similar, the atmosphere leads you to believe that it is only a speech team member running through her dramatic reading entry. As the speech team traveled to schools in the surrounding area, mem- bers participated in these contests by giving speeches or debates. Students were able to choose from several categories for their speeches. Among them were poetry, original oratory, debate, and girls’ and boys’ extemporaneous. Not being a formally organized club, the speech team was open to all those who desired membership. These mem- bers participated in local, state, and National competition, and thus col- lected points for the Calumet Forensics League,, and the National Forensics League. Running through her speech before the day of the meet, Rosemary Locasto checks to see if her presentation contains any flaws or errors. SPEECH TEAM-BOTTOM ROW: P. Dra- peau, Mrs. A.

Christmas letter sent to soldiers from all students What was made of white drawing paper, approximately six feet long, and had more signatures than the Declara- tion of Independence? Why, the Social Science Club’s Christmas letter, of course!! After being signed by practically every student at Highland High School, this letter was sent to the fighting men in Viet Nam. This club’s goal was to encourage the study of Social Sciences in order to create an interest in government, world problems, and current events. Over the many bustling sounds at the Mardi Gras, the sound of popcorn popping could be heard coming from the Social Science Club’s booth. The organization also sponsored the yearly car wash to help raise funds.

But to the members of the Sci- ence Club, equations like this one say a great deal. Radioactive research and nuclear fission were points of concern con- fronting chemists at Argonne National Laboratories last May when senior members of the club visited there. Throughout the year, guest speakers lectured on a variety of subjects, includ- ing such topics as air and water pollu- tion, and atomic research. Joining the numerous other organ- izations at Highland High School was the Industrial Arts Club, formed to widen and deepen the interests and knowledge of students in this field. First officers of the club were Ron Brown, president; Jim Harper, vice- president; Jim Guinn, secretary; Don Zisoff, treasurer; and Mr. Tom John- son and Mr. Phillip Rush, sponsors.

A com- mon interest in the language, cus- toms, and people of Spain, France, or Germany was the starting point for fun-filled activities and learning. Although a fat ox was not paraded throughout the halls as is the custom in France, members of the French Club captured the gay atmosphere of the Mardi Gras last spring. Striving to create better under- standing and relations, the Spanish Club offered a warm welcome to Chris Repetto, Juan Molina, and Am- paro Orvalle, exchange students from “South of the Border.” Soc-hops and the annual Style Show and Card Party helped raise funds to send Cin- dy Spiegel, senior, to South America. Celebrating the Holiday season with true German flavor, members of the German Club presented the Christmas Story, followed by the mak- ing of German Christmas cookies. A field trip to the German district of Chicago helped enhance the members’ understanding of German culture. Showing off their muscle power, an alumnus and junior Jim Darnell destroy the car from the Letter- men’s project in the French Club’s Mardi Gras.

The drum roll is barely no- ticeable at first but it builds, and final- ly, the whole band strikes up with the traditional “Star Spangled Banner.” Performing the National Anthem at football games is not the only purpose of Highland High’s band. Most half- times of home football games are high- lighted by the routines of this marching group. The Highland Lettergirls also perform with this group. Under the direction of Mr. Edwin Kibiger, the pep band plays spirited pep songs to accompany the booster block in cheering the Trojans onto victory at home basketball games. For the third consecutive year, the Band Parents Association sponsored the Northern Indiana Band, Orchestra, and Vocal Association to raise money for the purchasing of new uniforms and instruments for the concert band.

Aero-space education students discover what isn’t in the books — a new pride in displaying America ' s stars and stripes. 94 ROTC Aero-space course provides training for future officers “Hut . . . two . . . three . . . four . . . Shoulders back! Chest out! Head up!” These orders were commonly heard by members of the Air Force Junior ROTC as they practiced to perfect their drills and maneuvers. Receiving the honor of being one of sixty-five Junior ROTCs in the nation, Highland High’s branch presented col- ors at the Homecoming football game and at several home basketball games. Marching and drill time didn’t fill the whole program of the ROTC ca- det. The boys took time out to spon- sor a soc-hop and a Spacemobile dem- onstration, as well as look over the NIKE Air Force Base in Munster, Indiana. The Air Force Junior ROTC is a cooperative effort between the school and the Air Force with the Air Force providing the original uniforms and insignia for the cadets. Senior Rich Brosseau led the ROTC members as Cadet Major with five Ca- det Captains serving under him. Major Preston Phillips and Sergeant Lester Schwab, retired Air Force officers, served as instructors for the 125 boys enrolled in the class. FLIGHT A —BOTTOM ROW: P. Conner, B. Sako, S. Kulan, J.

Why the Booster Club, of co urse! Filling the gym or football field with warmth and enthusiasm, the boosters and cheerleaders worked to- gether to produce a lively background of school spirit for any activity. Rounding out this year’s activ- ities were the traditional Homecom- ing dance and the sale of Homecom- ing mums and Trojan license plates. Lettergirls, dressed in their new uniforms of gold, utilized hoola- hoops and pom-poms as they pre- sented new routines to the half- time audiences at football and basket- ball games. Made up of sophomore, junior, and senior girls, this organization met regularly to work on suggestions and ideas for better performances. Highland High School’s Letter- girls were instructed by Mrs. “Chuckie” Pope, who was assisted by Mrs. Anne Mathew, sponsor. Pat Corten, Sherri Fleming. Anita Bodley. Mrs. J.

Booster Club 97 Girls, Mothers spend night out at GAA Banquet “Who me — ask a boy for a date?” This question arose in many girls minds’ a few weeks before the Girls’ Athletic Association’s annual turn- about Christmas Dance. Besides stimulating participation in girls ' athletics, the GAA also helps promote ideas of health and sportsman- ship. Grass stained jeans, tennis shoes ripped to shreds, and varsity players’ football jerseys were the outfits donned by junior and senior team members for the GAA Powder Puff Football Game. The event ended in a 13 — 13 tie. For the purpose of handing out hard- earned pins, sweaters, letters, and plaques, and to give the girls and their mothers a night out together the GAA sponsored the Mother-Daughter Ban- quet. The girls also took time out to attend a splash party. Both events took place in the spring. Okay now, the next play will be a quarterback sneak around the left end. Explaining the next strategic play to senior team captain Leslye Roderick is Coach Robert Selund. The battle between the junior and senior girls ended in a 13—13 tie. GAA— BOTTOM ROW: J. Uskert, L.

Vic Foshion discovers that riding a burro is not as easy as it looks in the movies. What was the Lettermen’s Club of 67-68? What were the ideas behind it? It was a gathering of athletes who earned a varsity letter, and strived for good sportsmanship, scholarship, clean living and speech. Club members were key representatives of the school at athletic events and worked hard at upholding the school spirit and reputa- tion. The Lettermen’s Club has survived the test of time, and now is one of the oldest organizations in the school. Since its organization in 1959, the club has seen eight major sports added to the roster of Highland High School. “On your marks, get set, go!!!” Running proved to be good exercise as well as a rewarding pastime for mem- bers of the 500 Mile Club. To gain entrance into the organization, mem- bers must run 500 miles. 500 MILE CLUB — BOTTOM ROW: Coach M. Poehlein, sponsor; B. Peter- son, treasurer; C. Stockham, president; T.

Just as faces vary, so do the personalities behind them . . . thus forming the individual. Ambition, talent, ability . . . each student has his own measure. Some of the students are naturally gregari- ous and enjoy class discussions, club meetings, and the traditional sock hops after athletic events. Others are athletically inclined and enjoy all sports, perhaps excell- ing in one or two. A portion of the student body on the otherhand is quiet, unassuming, introverted, and sometimes appear to stand off from the endless activities all around. This is human nature, it is personality, it is the substance that makes one an individual. Each year Highland takes on new faces and new personalities as the faculty shifts and grows and the stu- dent body is expanded by incoming sophomores. And yet, the permi- nance of tradition remains as the authorative and shy characteristics of sophomores, juniors and seniors remain. Many decisions about the future arise during high school years. How they are made is determined by per- sonality, what they lead to is deter- mined by how the personality grows. Personalities 101 Administration links schools with the community Everyday management such as co- ordinating school activities and counseling students helps keep the administration busy. Mr. Allen J. Warren, superin- tendent, aided by Mr. Clyde M. Sum- ner and Dr. Dean Speicher, assistant superintendents and Mr. Paul J. Kiezynski, director of the social serv- ice department keep a check on functions in the school system. Working to handle problems are Mr. Robert Day, principal, and Mr. Merlin Clinkenbeard, assistant prin- cipal. School board members Mr. Robert Ross, Mr. Ralph Pettit and Mr. Andrew Sobek, regulate school policies. Counseling students in personal and vocational problems are guidance counselors, Mr. James Owens, Mr. Evan Studer, Mrs. Frances Dodd and Mr. Ray Hansen. Administrators help link the educa- tional system in Highland with the community. Working as a team Mr. Robert Day and Mr. Merlin Clinkenbeard carefully supervise all daily high school functions. Mr. Allen Warren, superintendent of all Highland public schools, co-ordi- nates students ' academic lives. He makes sure schools run efficiently. 102 Administration Assisting Superintendent Warren in supervision of the entire Highland school system are Mr. Clyde M. Sumner and Dr. Dean Speicher.

Office Personnel 105 Efforts to expand knowledge originates from newer Aiding students in their scholastic endeavors and their progress, the hard working and diligent faculty of Highland Senior High School strives for increasing knowledge in students. Lessons prepared by the individual teacher are aimed at providing an in- terest in students’ classwork. Time and effort are needed to achieve the goal of the teacher and the student. Efforts to expand the knowledge obtained by their pupils originate from the modern teaching techniques made available to modern teachers. A sense of responsibility to the stu- dent is as necessary as the learning process itself. Grading papers, attending meet- ings to improve techniques, and planning class assignments and dis- cussions are part of the extra work teachers do to perform their jobs. Pausing for a lime-out during the N.H.S. bas- ketball game, Mr. Darrell Morken uses his ability to explain a play to team members. MR.

Co-sponsors Mr. Tom Johnson and Miss Carolyn Slys lend their guidance. Confusion and anxiety was the gen- eral feeling of the class of ' 70 as they became part of the student body of Highland High School. Checking schedules with fellow classmates, sophomores moved on to classes with new faces and studies. After weeks of careful planning and working hard, sophomores created their first homecoming float which was titled “Run ’Em Down”. Making a start at raising money, sophomores sponsored car washes and the annual Mr. Football soc-hop. These activities made the sophomores feel that they were really members of High- land High. Cheering and backing the Trojans at football and basketball games the sophomores displayed their school spirit and enthusiasm. As underclassmen sophomores be- came accustomed to the feeling of being part of Highland High society. This feeling achieved by having fun and working hard will determine their leadership qualities in future years.

Class rings were worn proudly by the juniors. They symbolized the tra- dition carried on through the history of Highland High School. Moving down to the middle rows of the booster block, the juniors cheered the Trojans at sports. Money making projects included the annual chili supper after the Edison basketball game. Soc-hops and bake sales also helped to raise the neces- sary funds for the 1968 prom. Work on prom decorations began early in the fall. After hard work and determination, the 1968 prom began to take shape. Finally the magical evening rapidly approached. The work and decora- tions were finished. It was over all too soon. Left were only the memories of determined efforts brought to success. Pensively gazing onto the senior court which they will someday inherit are juniors, Diane Swisher and Dan Csikos.

Final year holds memories for the Class of 1968 Filled with tradition, honor and glory, the final year for seniors held memories for every individual. Class members displayed their spirit in making their last Home- coming float which was titled “We’ll Swallow Anything But De-feet”. Seniors filled the first rows of the Booster Block, as they enthusiastically cheered at the Trojan games. This tradition, along with many others such as, the senior court and the farewell gift to the school, was characterized by the spirit and pride of seniors. Blue and white senior beanies be- gan to appear in school as the seniors donned them as a symbol of youthful enthusiasm and distinction. With the year almost behind them, seniors began to prepare for the hectic activities of Baccalaureate and Commencement, events which will be remembered and treasured by the Class of 1968. Mr. James Bianchetta and Miss Sharon Forsberg, senior class sponsors offered advice on final graduation arrangements.

Seniors take part in activities with spirited hearts Seniors, graduation — already! Tears little sniffles to watery eyes, to heartening sobs characterized the Class of 1968 as they hesitantly marched down the aisle grasping their ticket to the future — a diploma. Assembling together for the last time as a class, time became the main subject. Where did it go? Memories settled deep in the mind were uprooted by the sentiment of leaving everything behind them. Remembering that first day with the greenness showing through, soph- omores shyly asked for directions from upperclassmen. But as the year progressed under the leadership of Pam Drapeau, president; Greg Turean, vice-president; Rosemary Locasto, secretary; and Sally Bennett, treas- urer projects were organized, and orange and white were selected for class colors. Sheer spirit was mirrored in their first float entitled “Wash Tm Up, reflecting hours of hard work. Highland’s Junior Miss, Pam Drapeau. dis- plays her singing talent at the local Junior Miss Pageant, sponsored by the Highland Jaycees, before entering state competition. 138 Seniors After being announced the top students of the senior class, salutatorian, Greg Turean, and Co-Valedictorians Brian Benda and Jean Diekman discuss graduation plans with Mr. Robert Day, principal. Both Brian and Jean maintained an ' A ’ average throughout high school. Jean Diekman was selected to receive the DAR good citizen award. As a recipient of the award, Jean was chosen according to her dependability, service, leadership, and an interest in the community by her teachers and fellow classmates. Mr. Football nominees, Dave Simpson, Jim Ceaser, Larry Mays, Dean Carrico, Mike Cable, and Vic Foshion were named for their fine performances on the gridiron. Thoughts of High- land ' s ringing Victory Bell urged these players on to victory. Daryl Slamkowski joins his classmates at the senior class party, while they dance and have fun together for the last time. Andy Menzyk shows the spirit that backed the Trojans in their athletic endeavors. Signs such as this were hung all over the school during spirit week, preceding the sectional tournament in which the Trojans upended the Morton Governors. Mr. Basketball nominees, Ron spas, Randy Benesh. Dean Carrico and Larry Mays were chosen for their abilities in the sport of basketball, and the students selected Dean. 140 Seniors Seniors carry on class traditions, add new ones Flaunting their class rings, a sym- bol of their rising authority, members of the Class of ’68 felt the exhilarat- ing sensation of being an upperclass- man — a junior. Officers Greg Turean, president; Karen Rodgers, vice-presi- dent; Sally Bennett, secretary; and Bonnie Bard, treasurer aided in the organizing of money-making pro- jects. Breaking tradition, the jun- iors won first place honors with their Homecoming entry “Sink ’Em”. Prom, beginning to end, gave juniors one main obsession. Achieving their final goal, a “Wonderland Fantasy” was created, and Tony Paglis and Anita Bodley began their reign as Prom King and Queen. Leading the class of ’68 were Tony Zatkulak, president; Anita Bodley, vice-president; Chuck Stockham, treas- urer; and Karen Black, secretary as they built their last float, “We’ll Swallow Anything But De-feet” and Lorrie Martin reigned as Homecom- ing Queen. All too soon, the twelve year journey reached its climax as diplomas were placed in outstretched hands and the future was left up to their own judgements. Jean Diekman, Chuck Stockham, Sally Bennett, Rick Espitia, June Beacom. Paul Mazalan, Pat Corten, John Ripley, Barb Terpstra, and Jim Ceaser were nominated for Snow King and Queen. Reflected in the school gift from the Class of ‘67, seniors discuss ideas for the gift their class will leave. The Blue and white senior beanie worn by Bonnie Bard symbolizes youth- ful distinction of an upperclassman.

In this volume, staff members have tried to bring out some of the more dominating traditions. Aiding members of the ' 68 SHIELD staff was Mr. Ed Hackleman, area representative for the American Year- book Company of Hannibal, Missouri. A cover of basin street blue leather and a raised gold seal were decided upon by major editors and Mr. Jack Bundy, representative from S. K. Smith Company, Chicago, Illinois. Taking the colored pictures were various professional photographers from Walinger Studios Inc. of Chi- cago, Illinois. Senior Portraits were also taken by Walingei;’s. Interstate Studios of Indianapolis, Indiana, photographed all underclassmen. Divi- sion page pictures were done by Tony Guasti and Joseph Schmitt, repre- sentatives from Capri Studios Incorpo- rated. The remainder of the candid and sports action shots resulted from dedicated student photographers John Thompson, Bill Rezny, Geary Smith, and Chuck Dijak devoting their time and creativity. Five column layout was used to en- hance the opening section of the book and the remainder was laid out in three column style. Copy was set in various sizes of Times Roman and the index was set in six point Laurel Bold.

With the signing of yearbooks comes the memories of enthusiastic participa- tion, hilarious antics and even the few disappointing moments experienced by everyone’s high school career. For underclassmen this “time for remembering” may be a new experi- ence, one they will probably enjoy again. But for the seniors, this is another last in their final year of high school life. The Class of ’68 this year has been replete with lasts — the last home- coming, the last basketball game, the last prom. But as these traditions were realized as “last ones” for the graduating class, they were also real- ized as “first ones” for the sopho- mores starting high school careers. Although these experiences mean so much to us now, eventually we might forget who the 1967 Homecoming Queen was or whether or not we won our first sectional game. This is the purpose of the 1968 Shield, to keep memories close at hand. To the people who involved them- selves and worked so diligently to make this yearbook possible I would like to express my sincere apprecia- tion. Thanks for putting forth that extra effort to keep things rolling even when the going was rough. The staff and I hope that two, or even twenty years from now when you try to remember who the star in the play was or how many games the foot- ball team won, you will look back to the Shield. And as you look back you will again involve yourself in the tra- ditions that create Highland High. K yfodU S r Editor-in-chief
