A murmur of excitement prevails, but within are cries of pain, sighs of relief, and cheers of happiness. Sometimes more than the expected is needed to electrify sounds. On December 25 many were oblivious to the faint whine of the sirens, while others scurried to watch the wild fire rip through the entire north wing. Stunned by sounds of destruction and reconstruction, individuals adapted to a new routine, and unmarred dreams became realities. Prom - sighing over a wonderland . . . homecoming - ripping open the last kleenex box . . . graduation— reminiscing old times. Nothing superficial, nothing rehearsed, these are genuine SOUNDS OF YOUTH. Happiness is evident by the expressions and sounds of laughter. Chris Davidson exemplifies youth displaying emo- tions freely. Sounds of silence prevail as thoughts of an intriguing subject enter into the questioning mind of Rosemary Goolik. 2 Theme Development Echoing throughout the gym, the vi- brant sounds of the trombone executed by Lee Schmidt accompanied the shout- ing boosters. Whizzing through intersections, youths release their tensions with whispers turn- ing to shouts to overcome sounds of shuffling feet. Seniors congregating on the senior court was a common sight between classes and dur- ing lunch when this atmo- sphere was appreciated. Blanketed with snow, the all school court remained dosed in inclement weather, but opened its doors in spring and fall. 4 Campus Blackened shelves and mounds of ashes portray only a small part of the destruction caused by the unexpected fire which blazed the afternoon of Christmas Day. Fire, construction, change building, affect student life With eager readiness Highland High School opened its doors in September, and students soon grew accustomed to a hectic school life after summer vacation. However, this peaceful scene was drastically modified within the next few months. A Christmas Day fire ripped through the north wing, completely destroying nearly 30 classrooms and resulting in extensive smoke and water damage to the rest of the one-story, contemporary building. Even as the old was being repaired, Highland again experienced growing pains”, as construction was begun on a swimming pool, new gymnasium, auditorium, and a two-story, 25 classroom addition. The high school experienced its most drastic changes that marked the beginning of a new and different way of student life . . . Bracing the bitter cold as well as the roaring flames and overwhelming smoke, firemen diligently work to get the blaze under control. Campus 5 Ecstatically happy, newly crowned Homecoming Queen Sally Newberry struggles to retain her crown while receiving congratulatory wishes from another nominee after the unbelievable announcement. Silhouetted against a blazing bonfire, cheerleaders boost Homecoming spirit as they lead pep sessions from the platform and at the football field, comprising part of Thursday ' s activities. Spirit soars as homecoming festivities begin Crisp fall winds greeted students as they gathered for the initial homecoming festivities Thursday night preceding the game. Despite the cold, school spirit surged through students as they huddled around a blazing bonfire. Both cheerleading squads led the group in spirited yells at this time and later proceeded to the football field, where several members of the football team gave rousing speeches that were greeted with bursts of applause. But this scene suddenly changed— silence swept over the spectators as they awaited the announcement of their queen. Anticipation and excitement rose to a climax— Sally Newberry accepted the crown and began her reign as Homecoming Queen. With this phase of the festivities over, students realized the mere 24 hours separating this glory from gametime. Leading Trojan Boosters to the football field after the bonfire for pep talks, more cheers, and the crowning of the queen, varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders head the snakedance. Showing the confidence and pride they have in their team for the upcoming game against Merrillville, football team co-captains Bill Allen and Jim Darnell, seniors, give pep talks at the Thursday night rally. Homecoming 7 Early dismissal initiates festivities Fun, excitement, and work— these were the elements of a festive Homecoming ' 68. A 12:30 dismissal granted students time to complete their clever and colorful parade entries. Also, before game time alumni were honored at a coffee hour in the school library. Highlighting half-time activities, Queen Sally Newberry and her court were re- presen ted followed by the announcement of trophy winners. The senior float, Bury ' Em , captured first place and Pride Is Our Pow-er took second for the juniors. Key Club ' s Mow ' Em Down and FHA ' s Stir ' Em Up won first and second place awards, respectively, for cars. Homecoming spirit and pride were then focused on the long-anticipated game, and the Trojans secured a 25- 19 victory over Merrillville. Radiantly smiling as she parades around the football field. Queen Sally participates in half- time festivities of the 1968 Homecoming. 8 Homecoming Reigning victoriously for the second successive year, seniors proudly displayed their entry, Bury ' Em , symbolizing weeks of work by the class. Victory sounded through the air as gridmen rang their bell after a successful Homecoming game against the Pirates. Battling to the final seconds, Trojans won 25-19. Another Trojan touchdown brings a smile to the face of varsity cheerleader Sheryl Engerski. Homecoming 9 Long hours of practice prove to be worthwhile as Sandi Little sings her way to first runner-up. Tears of happiness are revealed after a shocking announcement. Nancy Biggs proudly accepts the crown from Pam Drapeau and performs her first duty as the new Jr. Miss. - - Shock, happiness evident as climax reveals new titles Anxious glances were exchanged; throats suddenly became dry. Long hours of hard work prepared thirteen senior girls for this night, and now they awaited the announcement of Highland ' s fourth Junior Miss. After what seemed to be an eternity, the runners-up were each presented and then— Nancy Biggs accepted the title, numerous gifts, and a trip to the state pageant as the new Junior Miss, in December two students were also honored at the annual GAA Turnabout Dance. Queen Kathy Olivotto and King Don Zisoff reigned at Wintermist, a theme executed in blue, silver, and white. Valentine ' s Day meant An Evening at the Key Club to the many couples who attended the Key Club ' s annual Sweetheart Dance. All too soon the announcement of Sweetheart Queen, Gail Sweeney, concluded the evening in this nightclub atmosphere. Reigning as the 1969 Sweetheart Queen, Gail Sweeney dutches her roses while last year ' s queen Rosemary Locasto adjusts her crown. In a cafeteria decorated to resemble a night dub, couples danced, enjoyed refreshments or just appreciated each other ' s company. Junior Miss, Sweetheart Dance 1 1 Beauty, splendor of colonial days revived at prom From the flower-lined corridors to the softly lit ' ' ballroom ' ' , the 1968 Junior-Senior Prom, Colonial Courtyards , captured the radiant beauty and splendor of the past in its decorations and its atmosphere. Couples entered a re-created garden of towering trees and brightly-colored flowers, which led them to their destination: a spacious ballroom with stately pillars and velvet draperies. While dancing to the music of the Vito Manno Orchestra, the magic of the evening captivated everyone present. A tie vote brought Janyce Hope and Betty Bodley to the throne as Prom Queens, and Kevin Roche donned his crown as the new King. Time expired, and Colonial Courtyards again became a part of the past. But, its enthralling magic was still very much alive. Bumblebees for each couple were planted in a hedge formed from wood, chicken wire, paper, and hours of labor. Ken Jones and Debby Stevenson look through the greenery for their own names. Captivated by an atmosphere of stately pillars and twinkling chandeliers, couples sway rhythmically to the romantic sounds of Vito Manno Orchestra. 12 Prom Overcome by the surprising outcome of a tie queen vote. Queens Janyce Hope and Betty Bodley and King Kevin Roche reflect their disbelief along with last years ' royalty Anita Bodley and Tony Paglis. Emotions of happiness are expressed by Tom Richards, Ann Baade, Bev Terpstra and Mike Gall as they take a breather in the courtyard. Prom 13 Ruffles, turtlenecks mark fashion scene in new ’68 styles 14 Fads Head to toe co-ordination highlighted the fashion scene this year. Starting at the top, versatile hair styles complimented outfits. The feminine look prevailed for girls; whether long, short, real, or fake, curls were for girls, while boys sported conservative sideburns. Ruffles, pat- terned hose, and mod watches added the finishing touches to girls ' ensembles, and leather clothing also became a common sight around school. Shoes took on the old- fashioned look with chunky heels for girls, wing tips for boys, and plenty of brass for all. Adding variety and color to a once limited choice of boys ' clothes, turtleneck sweater and slacks ensembles and modified versions of the Nehru were comfortable for class, games, and soc-hops. Whatever the look, boys also found the mod watch to be a practical addition to a wardrobe. Papering a locker takes patience, agree sophomores Julie Mikula and Cheryl Ribicki, as they apply bright printed paper. Sophomore Jan Sacha and Senior Anthony Matovina display the current fashions while taking a break between classes. Arpa confronts many firsts during US stay Have you ever thought about breaking the ties between family and friends for a new and different way of life in a foreign country? Arpa Nititham, the American Field Service exchange student, found the transition difficult and confusing at times, yet an over-all rewarding experience. Arpa learned family customs during her 18-week stay with the Hanks. After trick- or-treating for the first time dressed as a Japanese girl, Arpa looked forward to her first snow and a Thanksgiving turkey. School life at Highland included other firsts — students changed classes instead of teachers, and she viewed real football games , not Americanized versions of soccer. Arpa also took part in extra-curricular activities including French Club, Booster Club, and the American Field Service which made her stay in Highland possible. Exchange student Arpa Nititham explains the different customs and ways of every day living in Bangkok , Thailand , her home country, to her sister Carol Hanks, junior. Playing the part of the nurse in the one-act play The Long Christmas Dinner, Arpa actively participates in the student life at her newly adopted high school. American meals, customs and life rapidly become familiar to Arpa as she stays with the Hanks ' during her 18-week visit in the United States. American Field Service 15 Musical, dramatic productions reflect talents Whether a comedy or a psychological drama, musical and dramatic productions were the result of countless hours of dedicated effort; stage crews and cast members worked together to perfect their parts of the productions. From the rising of the curtain to the final call, the operetta, Patience; or Bunthorne ' s Bride, was delightfully amusing. Potential actors and actresses worked under student directors to produc e the five one-act plays for the fall presentation. Princess Rebecca Birnbaum, Two Fools Who Gained a Measure of Wisdom, and Some of My Best Friends were the comedies included on the program. ' The Long Christmas Dinner and ' The Rocking-Horse Winner, two dramas, proved to be equally entertaining. A new house and family are begun, grow, and finally fade into nothingness in The Long Christmas Dinner. Some of My Best Friends, a one-act comedy presents a satire on racial prejudice. 16 Plays Operetta 17 Starring in the operetta Patience, produced by the music department last May are Marianne Callaway and John Irish. Using her singing instead of speaking voice, Sally Bennett requests a favor from another member of the cast. New graduates happily grasp to the future, after completing Mixed emotions filled the hearts of seniors, as they came one step closer to achieving their long-awaited goal of graduation. As their three years at High- land High drew to a dose, they realized that they were leaving behind a senior court, cheering at games, and cramming for finals. Where happiness once radiated, there was a somber expression; where the eagerness of becoming seniors was once felt, there was a sudden emptiness; and where there were once tears of joy, there were now tears of sorrow. For they can conquer who believe they can became their motto, as the class rose to become alumni. With diploma in hand, the groundwork laid in the last twelve years possessed a definite meaning as their key to future happiness and Guiding the class in scholastic achievement SUCCeSS dS tomorrow S leaders. as well as leadership are Greg Turean, salutatorian, co-valedictorians Jean Diekman and Brian Benda, and class president, Tony Zatkulak. diplomas, keys three-year stay It is a long road each senior follows, but a whole lifetime lies ahead of these graduates. They look beyond the auditorium to an anticipated future. In the commencement address, Mr. Herbert Schwomeyer, Butler University Dean of Men, expresses the idea of setting and striving toward goals, And then soma ... As seniors file into the gymnasium for baccalaureate ceremonies, they face another concluding step of their high school career. Graduation 19 Tranquility soon replaces the 8 minutes of congestion and turmoil between classes and only the sounds of learning Unger in the hallways. Listening closely outside opened doors evidence of knowledge is continually being transferred . . . through the pecking of typewriters, the buzzing of electric saws, and the swishing of tape recorders. Striving to reach their ultimate goal of fully developing the mind, amateurs stretch accepted concepts and probe into the mysterious unknown. Each day hundreds of sound waves travel through the mind transmitting bits of information, but the only sounds that leave the brain are in the form of questions proposed by inquisitive youths searching for answers. Digesting new forms of knowledge every day, students develop a keener appetite for new theories and applications which is half the battle of success. Academics 21 coumsr Flat tire? No, Mr. Mike Poehlein is instructing Senior Ken Clark and Juniors Carol Bunchek and Joe Hirtz how to fix such a problem. Refreshed by a cool dip. Junior Phyllis Jaynes takes advantage of the weekly journey to Wicker Park to learn the basics of swimming. 22 Summer School Summer school encourages varied learning for students While visions of summer school dance in their heads. . . For 709 students the ending of the regular school year meant a two-week vacation and the beginning of an eight-week session of summer school. While learning the rules of the road in class, driver education students also spend two or three hours a week gaining valuable experience through practice on the road. With 288 trainees, the course had a record enrollment. Future mathematicians, artists, and secretaries find computer programming, art appreciation, and typing beneficial for use in their chosen vocations. Speech class and physical education instill a variety of skills to all while encouraging freedom of expression. Students desiring to get ahead in their studies for the coming school year are given the opportunity to gain credit in courses such as English, history, govern- ment and economics. Beginning and established journalism students worked jointly to produce sum- mer editions of The Trojanal, a weekly publication, while benefiting from the first-hand experience in journalism it offers. Papers were produced in the Graphic Arts department. Skills, poise developed in physical education While learning the rules of basketball, physical education students practice to improve their individual abilities at such things as dribbling, shooting, and guarding. Tie score— game point— it ' s up to me! Stepping to the line, a teammate anxiously dribbles the ball. R-r-r-r-ring— time for showers— the game was over, and so was another hour of building and strengthening students through physical education. By mastering the rules and skill of such sports as basketball, volleyball, soft- ball, and tennis, class members prepare themselves for competition. When students are not working as a team, they are striving to improve their own individual past records. Tests are also given to determine general knowledge and skill in various activities. Co-ordination and poise are further developed with training in gymnastics, tumbling, and free exercise. While learning the true value of sportsmanship, participants are also in- stilled with the all-important idea of getting along with others. After construction was begun on the new swimming pool, students were un- able to use the gym for class sessions. While confined to the locker rooms, classes busied themselves with physical exercises, games, and study. Go on out for a pass! Enjoying an active game of touch football became the daily activity of the boy ' s physical education classes, at least until the warm sunshine changed to a lingering coldness. It ' s up for two points! Junior Ernie Burke takes careful aim and shoots to score and to put his team in the lead during a P.E. match. Physical Education 23 D. E. students work Vi day, receive credit A ... B ...C... Elementary educa- tion? Of course not. To become skillful at the typewriter, business students must start with the basic fundamentals of the keyboard and continue practicing. Ad- vanced courses are available for those who meet the qualifications. On the job training is the purpose of the newest addition to the business cur- riculum, distributive education. D.E. allows students to attend school on a half-day basis and to work the second half on a job where they are evaluated and receive both a grade and credit. For teaching merchandising and sales- manship, the department has added man- nequins and displays to the D.E. lab which simulates a store. Future business leaders are also able to work with the new electronic calculator, 26 additional man- ual and three electric typewriters. Taking advantage of free study time, general business students concentrate on textbook as- signments waiting for other instructions. Following the teacher while he lectures over a chapter in the textbook, business law students are taught the intricacies of the business world. 24 Business Using one of the new electric typewriters added to the business department, an advanced typing student, Paula Lea, senior, practices and strives to improve her speed and accuracy. Listening intently to her lecturing teacher. Junior Laura Arnold studies a few of the many shorthand symbols which help prepare her for a future in the complex business world. Business 25 Exploring the natural wonders of the world, from the Ice Age to effects of weather on the earth today, geography students search for answers to intriguing questions. Government class is not made up entirely of studying the Constitution and the making of the laws. Senior Tom Banta studies the Student Weekly while others concentrate on outside reading. Now wait a minute! Senior Norma Moffat tries to get her point across in economics class. Many controversial topics are delved into and can lead students to become deeply involved in discussion. 26 Social Studies Classes lead inquiries for mock election Campaign rallies, speeches, buttons, and banners tranformed hallways into a convention center. These were signs of the mock election held on November 1 which better acquainted the student body with American election procedures. Government and economics classes re- searched the national issues, candidates, platforms of the parties and the electoral college. Thus, members of these classes became better informed and more aware of the country ' s problems. U.S. history classes study past events by first learning proper procedures for discussions and later, debating different aspects of the American past. These classes also were taught the previous forms of government that have been followed. Sociology classes investigate human beings as a society, while psychology students delve into the working of man ' s mind. The world problems classes view the turmoil in today ' s society. Psychology students , Seniors Rita Silverman and Irene Weinstein, concentrate on an impor- tant exam they missed because of absence. Social Studies 27 Modern Math Aids Students in Calculations (t 2 -1).(t41)f(t 3 -1)-(t 2 +t fl) Solving difficult equations like this take much time and effort. But through practice, and with the help of slide rules, students become familiar with this type of prob- lem, and they soon are much easier to solve. In the course of math study, class members also make use of compasses and protractors as well as their own sense of reasoning for problem answering. Computer programming is one ex- ample of the newer more advanced math that is taking over in all areas of this study. Students participating in these modern math courses realize how this math is better adapted for a great number of today ' s mathematical problems. Having mastered the basics of problem reasoning and solving, geometry and al- gebra students are advanced to higher levels of math study. One of these is probability and statistics, which was re- vived this year. In this intriguing class the law of averages is studied by experimenta- tion with such things as dice and coins. With a straight edge and a compass as their only tools, geometry students Paul Smith and Bob Turner, sophomores, complete constructions on the board to illustrate proper procedure. Showing the proper format to follow in proving a theorem, Mrs. Patricia Sims explains the substitution property of real numbers. Understanding basic functions is required of all geometry students. 28 Math Solving for , X , one of the first things learned in algebra, can become a much more complex problem in a more advanced class. Senior Gene Hetrick prepares to solve a difficult problem of today ' s modern age. Becoming familiar with the intricacies of the computer is part of the learning process in computer math. Sophomore Greg Williamson and his lab partner Mike Ward, junior, heat substances and measure their temperatures during a chemistry experiment. The data they record will later help them form conclusions. Students probe into unknown through science Engaged in a scientific discussion. Juniors Scott Markley and Bill Prange go over their after-lab calculations. Working together, chemistry students gain a better understanding of the experiment. Eager young minds probe the un- known in rooms filled with microscopes, test tubes, dissecting tools, and the smell of formaldehyde. This is the predominant atmosphere in the science classrooms. Biology students are concerned with the characteristics, organization, and functions of life, ranging from that of a simple plant to one of a complex organ- ism. Chemical reactions, equations, and structures of substances are just some of the areas studied by chemistry students. Labs make it possible for them to see the practical use of this course and also gives them an opportunity to answer questions through experimentation. Earth science a laboratory orientated course was a new addition to the science department. The study includes the earth ' s origin, history, and changes affecting it. Through complicated problems, phy- sics students are exposed to the domina- ting powers of life. Areas such as force, pressure, friction, and gravity were inves- tigated to give class members a better understanding of what scientifically is happening in many every day occur- rences, and the reasons why it does. 30 Science Cadets study space exploration, flight theory Standing at strict attention. Juniors Tom Arrington and Steve Wargo salute the United States flag as the ROTC color guard lowers it after school. From construction to count-down, a major concern of the Air Force Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps is space exploration. Cadets are trained to under- stand every aspect of aerospace educa- tion. First year cadets tour the Nike Missile Site in Munster, Indiana. Seeing this base expands their knowledge of today ' s air- craft, and acquaints them with true mili- tary procedures. Delving deeper into space study, second year cadets learn the theory of flight and how aircraft is controlled. A field trip to United Airlines in Chicago Illinois, enhances the material presented in the classroom and prepares them for the more advanced study of human fae tors and space exploration that they will encounter as third year cadets. Weather data is sent daily to WGN television by the ROTC. They also present colors at every home football game, construct several entries for the homecoming parade, and march in it also. Reflecting the pride of his country and flag. Junior Bob Ginther performs a daily duty in the proper manner characteristic of ROTC. ROTC 31 Following both the tape and his book, sopho- more Bob Paglis listens attentively to the recording which he will soon have to memorize. A ttempting to explain, Sra. Escolastica Casiano interprets the translation of one of the basic sentences to a third year Spanish student. 32 Foreign Language Language students relate ideas, break communication barrier Many miles lie between language stu- dents of the U.S. and their pen pals across the border line. Yet, as they relate ideas, customs, and knowledge of their own country even though they converse in a foreign language, they do not seem too foreign. By breaking the communication barrier existing between two countries, students learn more about the world around them. French, German, Latin, and Spanish teachers try to make their respective language more appealing and easier to comprehend through the use of records, novels, tape recordings, movies, and re- search projects. Customs, history, and geography of the countries are studied to increase interest and to grasp an understanding of the language and the people. Latin stu- dents conduct discussions of Roman life and play a form of bingo to assist them in learning the numbers. French students traveled to Chicago for an educational and entertaining movie and dinner at a French restaurant. Several trips were taken by Spanish classes, in- cluding one to see the play El Cid, and another to watch El Sombrero de Tres Picos at Griffith High School. German teacher Mrs. Helen Beretz stresses an important point to her class. First through fourth year students study everything from the ABC ' s to the history and culture of Germany. Foreign Language 33 After writing English themes. Seniors Linda Wasko and Gail Miller take time to discuss how they each explained the main characters in the novel Return of the Native. English classes emphasize communications As a basic human activity, communica- tion has and continues to influence every- one ' s way of life. Emphasizing this con- nection between all races, English teachers instruct students on proper speech and writing techniques. Known literary works from plays to novels are read and thoroughly discussed. Questions concerning style, theme, and plot are answered and individuals are able to interpret and formulate their own opinions on the subjects. In addition to these discussions, com- munication is also practiced in written form. Expressing ideas by writing themes encourages thinking, forming opinions and presenting these notions in a logical arrangement. New grammar and standard vocabulary books serve as references while working on compositions. Students gain a deeper and more meaningful understanding of the English classes when the knowledge is applied to the everyday work in other classes. While pondering over the meaning of one of the more difficult words in his lesson. Senior Robert Mareachen studies his vocabulary. Sophomore English class members discuss the importance grammar plays in everyday lives, and why one should study it. Junior Kirsten Kucer spends time in the library doing research for a paper dealing with the background in The Red Badge of Courage. English 35 Expression, key goal for prospective actors Expression of personality, ideas, and opinions plays a major role in school life at Highland. Characters ' personalities come alive in drama class, where pros- pective actors and actresses present dra- matic and humorous cuttings, poetry, and pantomime. The drama class also took part in the Northwest Regional Thespian Conference at Morton High School this year. Entertaining monologues were in- cluded in the speech program for variety, while supplementing other kinds of speeches to help students overcome the jitters when speaking before an audi- ence. Knowledge of speech presentation is put to use in debate, where controver- sial topics are researched, presented, and judged. In order to learn the correct methods for relating ideas through publications, journalism students study writing tech- niques and journalism history. This study also involves selling ads for Trojanal special additions, a trip to the Chicago Tribune, and optional work on staffs. Presenting an entertaining speech before an audience isn ' t always as easy as it seems. But for Junior Marsha Minter, captivating her viewers proves to be a small task as she gives her humorous interpretation. 36 Drama, Journalism Senior Judy Rabatin assists Richard Russel, sophomore, in drawing a basic page plan for a newspaper, an important part of journalism. In an attempt to persuade her audience to her own beliefs. Junior Adele Mongaraz proposes the most important arguments of the contro- versial subject. Debate, Speech 37 Musicians, Artists Transform Ideas Into Finished Products Happiness is to create— a mood painted on a canvas, emotion inscribed in a piece of music, or a completed product molded from clay. Fine arts gives students the opportunity to express themselves. By beginning with the minimum supplies, through their talents they change inspira- tions into masterpieces. Whether it ' s long-haired or pop-rock, the sound of music from the band and choir interests people of all ages at football and basketball games, concerts. and the operetta. Taking part in these groups increases appreciation of instru- mental and vocal music and develops skills of budding musicians. Emotions become tangible when cap- tured in descriptive sketches, paintings, and pottery in arts and crafts classes. Art appreciation courses review the history from the ancient times to that of the modern world. Great masterpieces and artists come alive by studying the individ- ual styles and techniques used. While practicing songs for a concert. Senior Diana Swisher waits for her cue as she follows the music of the other choir members ' parts. Sophomore Barbara Schreiber displays one of her many crafts projects which was made by arranging repeated three dimensional forms into a finished composition. v ■ 38 Home Economics Already having learned the basic fundamentals of sewing. Junior Mary Ihnat puts this knowledge to use as she traces the darts of her unmade dress onto the material with which she will make it. Family living visit hospital, study children While donning aprons and whipping batter, boys soon learned that the women ' s work in the kitchen wasn ' t as easy as it looked. Potential chefs joined the girls in learning the basics of bal- ancing and preparing meals. Another first in the home economics department was the show of bridal fash- ions in the family living classes. This course, continued on a higher level, in- cludes a trip to Saint Margaret ' s Hospital in Hammond to see the maternity ward. Family living students also bring their younger brothers and sisters to class for a day to study child behavior and man- nerisms. Clothing students examine styles of fashion as well as fabrics. For the public to see the accomplishments of the future homemakers, they present their finished creations at a spring style show, modeling all the latest styles in the current trend. Home economics students discuss tests they have already taken to learn the correct facts which are involved in planning and cooking meals in their advanced cooking class. Fine Arts 39 Industrial arts broadens study to meet demands of the times if ' ' Senior Oscar Nelson transforms an oblong wood block into a cylinder, thus completing another step toward the finished product. Contact with machines, science, and power is unavoidable in this mechanical age. In order to meet the demands of the changing times, industrial arts has broad- ened its course of study. Graphic arts, and metal and wood shops teach students the actual produc- tion part of industry. This classroom- laboratory situation provides the oppor- tunity for planning, construction, experi- menting, and evaluating student projects. Girls found this work challenging, as they sawed and sanded projects they once termed easy. Drafting I became a one semester course and is now taught with a series of worksheets developed and printed within the school. Surveying was added to Drafting 2-3, and industrial design was included in the advanced level of the industrial arts program. Designing and drawing a go-kart was the highlight of this course. In still another area of industrial arts, the technical aspects of industry are stressed, including transportation, com- munication, and research of the vital needs of a ra pidly growing field. 40 Shop Working with tools such as jig-saws, Sopho- mores Mike Campbell and Ron Chmielewski perform practical skill while completing useful projects. Precise measurements and fittings are essential as Sophomore Mike Kelley and Senior Bob Hobbs learn the art of woodworking with Mr. Poropat’s advice. Bent eagerly over his architectural sketch , Joe Hirtz, junior, uses his imagination and knowledge of drafting to create blue prints for future buildings. Shop 4 1 ■ Sh-h-h . . . Quiet! Silence disturbed by a mere wrinkling of a program or a questioning cry from a little boy bewildered by the sudden solitude. Questions were answered as the gym was quickly saturated with cries of excited fans bursting with enthusiasm during a cheer. Instilled with a driving force to compete and an everlasting desire to win, athletes participate in interscholastic sports and intramurals. In many, the sounds of sports becomes an all consuming desire. Restless nights are spent dreaming of whacking the ball, crashing through the enemy line, and most important clanging the victory bell. Yet it isn ' t the win or loss that ' s so important because each gains that inexplicable feeling of accomplishment, respect for others, and self-pride. Sports provide the essential opportunity for young minds to grow and develop into those of a man. A t hie tics 43 Record season indicates team’s inspiration. 1968 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Emerson OPP. 7 HHS 15 Lake Central 13 14 Portage 0 7 Munster 35 6 Merrillville 19 25 Crown Point 14 19 Calumet 14 19 Lowell 28 0 Griffith 26 6 After their 19-14 victory over the Calumet Warriors, Trojan gridmen stand in line to ring the victory bell. Their ' 68 season was marked by a 6-3 record compared with the 2-7 compiled in ' 67. By blocking a Calumet Warrior, Senior Mike Barnes makes an opening for flanker Don Knauss, senior, to gain yardage for the Trojan cause. determination Highland ' s Trojans completed one of their most successful seasons in their history with a record of 6-3. The Men of Troy opened the year with three straight wins over Emerson, Lake Central, and Portage, respectively. But even after dropping a game to Munster, students ' pride in their team never changed, carrying them to an all important Homecoming victory. Even after terminating the season by being overpowered by arch-rival Griffith, the profitable year will live long in the memories of the fans, coaches, and players. Even though Highland lost a chance for the play-off with Chesterton by bowing to Lowell, the Trojans have nothing to be ashamed of. Battling the Trojans proved anything but easy vic- tories for the foes they lost to and were approached with respect and fear not only as a determined team, but also as an inspired one. Shouting instructions for the next defensive play to juniors Tom Arrington and Greg Brandenburg is assistant coach Porter Evans. Four varsity coaches led the Trojans to a record season. Completing a pass. Senior Earl Schreiber prepares for a run to gain yardage against the Merrillville Pirates in the Highland homecoming match.

The sights and sounds of the fans alone did not carry the Men of Troy through their winning season, though it made each victory a little easier to grasp and each defeat further away. It sometimes seems unjust to evaluate football teams and games because each clash, won or lost, is simply the climax of a whole week ' s work, pain, and effort. The Trojans ' victories were many, but past experiences never carried over into other games. The determination of the Men of Troy was evident in each second of every game. The season was an excellent one due to an invaluable abundance of talent, leader- ship, and sportsmanship. But even if the Trojans had come out on the losing end, that talent, leadership, and most of all sportsmanship would still have been there. Running to make the six points that put Highland in the lead to stay. Junior Dave Marshall, halfback, proved to be invaluable to the Trojans. VARSITY FOOTBALL - FRONT ROW: K. Lengel, manager; J.

Harriers end record season fifth in state With Rich White and Dave Bell leading the way, the Cross Country team added another fine year of competition to its record books. This year the Trojan Harriers finished first in the Calumet Conference and a respectable fifth in the state competition. The Trojans also won the LaPorte, Southmoore, and their own Highland invitational meets. Cross Country is a tough sport with rugged practices because of long, hard, and sometimes odd hours. It takes a special kind of athlete to qualify, a person who is willing to get up early and practice before and after school as these 14 boys did. But the Men of Troy came up with the attitude— determination and drive to finish another successful season. Prospects for next years squad looks enticing with six returning lettermen to bolster the Trojan attack with Coach Poehlein behind them. But for the grad- uating seniors their last season proved to be a very gratifying one to remember. CROSS COUNTRY - FRONT ROW: T. Brosseau, D. Bell, M. Dugger, J. Stivers, R. White, E. Burke.

Scenes like this were common on the Highland courts all during the fall months where action ruled every minute of play. 50 Tennis with 3-7 record Court action was once again evident this fall as this years tennis squad, in its third season, compiled a record of 3 wins and 7 losses. Highland opened the season with two strong victories against River Forest and Gary Wirt, 5-0 and 3-2, respectively. The net-men managed only one other victory against Crown Point, Griffith, Valporaiso, and Munster. The official season actually began in early September and continued through October, but for team candidates the season started in August. Of those hoping for a varsity position, only seven were chosen. Courts were in use every day during the summer and after fall months by teammates striving for excellence. Coach Rush has a bright outlook for next year. He will lose only one player through graduation. The first singles were made up of Romie Sadabras and Dave Sawtell. Third singles were Don Sawyer and Jim McDonald. Phil Amodeo, Steve Hoff, Chuck Dijak, and Ed Dijak made up the doubles competition. Romie Sedabras , sophomore , demonstrates his skill while returning a serve. Weeks of practicing drills accounted for nearer perfection on the courts. Silhouetted against the blazing sun, a racketman displays the beauty and grace necessary to become a top man on the court. Acquiring this form is a goal of all the teammates. Varsity grapplers return home with fifth in Indianapolis tourney Varsity grapplers completed their 1968-1969 season with a respectable 11-3 record. The only losses came by the hands of Portage, Gavit, and Griffith. After journeying down to the Indiana- polis tourney, the wrestling team re- turned home with a fifth place finish. Scoring the majority of the points at the tourney were Jovan Vercel, Don Gordon, John Stivers, Lee Loy, and Corny Novak. The Trojan squad lacked an experi- enced 145 lb. weight class entry, which was the team ' s main problem. Otherwise, the Torjans ' success was due to the bal- ance evident in all other weight classes. Trojan matmen practiced every day before the final state championship, but did not compete due to a second place finish in the sectionals. Coach Larry Johnson believes Al Kil- lion and Bob Smolinski to be his best prospects for the 1969-1970 wrestling season. The J.V . wrestling team finished their 1968-1969 season with a fine record of 10-3, casting a bright outlook for next years varsity squad. VARSITY WRESTLING-FRONT ROW: Mr. L. Johnson, head coach.

Struggling for a pin, one of Highland ' s matmen desparately tries to hold his opponent before the final outcome is decided. Untiring determination and hard work is a necessity to produce a winning squad. Don Gordon, junior, utilizes accomplished wrestling skills to manuever his opponent into an unfortunate situation. Developing these talents enabled him to tally many profitable points for the Trojans. Wrestling 53 Trojans end 69 season with improved record Coach Darrell Morken led his Trojan Five to a fourth place finish in the Calu- met Conference. The Trojans finished the regular 1968-69 basketball season with an 8—12 record. Last year, the squad fin- ished last in the conference with a 4— 16 record. Led by Seniors Bob Szabo, and Dave Ranich, the Trojans looked like real con- tenders in the first few games of the season. But things seemed to faulter after the Holiday Tourney at East Gary. After- wards, Highland played at a mediocre 2—8 clip. Morken, in his sophomore year as coach at Highland, stressed defense and hustle in practice sessions. Highland had plenty of speed and heighth, but very often had off-on games. The Trojans best performance of the year was against Bishop Noll. Even though defeated by a score of 77—71, Highland looked ready for the Hammond Sectionals. But spirit alone could not carry them to victory as they dropped their first game to Gavit, 76—67. Using the agility and quick thinking developed through long hours of practice, Senior forward, Dave Gilbert sets up a play. Junior Mike Law also aids in the Trojan cause. Grasping last minute instructions during a crucial point of the game. Varsity teammates listen intently to Coach Darryl Morken as he explains a new strategy. Against Portage, Senior Dave Ranich shoots for two during the last game in the old gym. 54 Basketball In Highland ' s first ball game of the season against arch-rival Munster, Junior Mike Law adds two more to his end total of 29 points, making him top Trojan scorer for the evening. 1969 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE TEAM OPP HSS Munster 83 66 Hammond Morton 79 80 Hammond Gavit 45 63 Crown Point 77 62 East Gary 63 74 Merrillville 56 73 Hammond Clark 59 60 Whiting 69 66 Holiday Tourney Terre Haute Schulte 77 72 Gary Horace Mann 80 69 Wirt 78 82 Portage 85 86 Calumet 79 54 Gary West 81 71 Lowel 1 92 72 Lake Central 73 61 Chesterton 78 86 Griffith 64 57 Hammond High 72 51 Bishop Noll 77 71 Sophomore Thurman Ferree, closely guarded by a Portage opponent, looks for a fellow teammate to pass to as Bruce Luyster, soph- omore looks on. In a fast paced JV game. Sophomore Bob Wilhelm shoots for two more points which would place the Trojans even farther ahead in the contest. Spirit, pride prove beneficial to cagers in regaining form It was more than the skill and deter- mination of the players that accounted for the Trojans ' improved record. Pride on the part of the student body provided the Men of Troy with the incentive to regain their winning form evident in the 1965-66 season. Even though Highland posted a below average record, the gym was always filled to capacity and the crowds never altered after moving home court to the jr. high gym. Spirit overwhelmed the student body during Spirit Week before sectionals. Signs, posters, cheers, and cakes instilled desire in the players. The Trojans found the need to win not only for themselves, but for the entire student body, faculty, and community. Even though they ended the season less victoriously than it had begun, the team gained a sense of pride, responsi- bility, and good sportsmanship which is longer lasting than just a win or loss. Guard Dave Bell, junior, passes to a fellow Trojan to set up another play, while a Portage eager eyes the ball, ready for a fast break. Aiming for another basket, Senior Greg Hicks is rushed by two Portage Indians trying to prevent another score. Senior Bob Szabo tosses the ball in for two points raising the score higher for the contest with the Mustangs. 56 Basketball JV BASKETBALL-FRONT ROW: Coach P. Schuyler BACK Hoekema, T. Ferree, S.

Basketball 57 Inexperience serves as main task for linkmen to overcome With the fresh spirit of spring in the air, the ' 69 golf team was instilled with a new enthusiasm and a longing desire to compete and to win. Inexperience served as the teams main problem with only one returning letter- man, Dave Pettit, and Mr. Porter Evans serving his first year as coach. Despite the apparent odds against the squad, sopho- mores Dave Boblik, Mark Roderhiger, Rich Russel, and Nick Poloson helped the Trojan cause. These boys soon learned that practice doesn ' t make anywhere near perfect. After long hours spent hitting the ball, the feeling of accomplishment which a hard-fought victory infuses proved to be well worth their time and effort. Last year ' s linkmen Keith Lane and Darryl Slamkowski were co-winners of the Trojan Outstanding Golfer Award.” Success was also determined as Bill Phil- lips led the team to a Sectional Cham- pionship at Lake Hills. But they failed to qualify for state after being eliminated in regionals. The hopes of winning either the conference title or sectional crown re- mains in the hands of a new Trojan five. Good judgement, a result of weeks of practice, is employed as Keith Lane carefully studies the situation before attempting his putt. Dave Pettit, hoping to land his shot within putting distance of the hole, skillfully follows through with his club keeping his eye on the ball. 58 Golf ALL STAR B-BALL CONTEST DETERMINES CHAMPS Excitement and fun were the results of a fast-paced intramural ball game. Inter- ested in playing and eager to learn, boys who aren ' t on the interscholastic team have a chance to compete against their friends while developing leadership, sportsmanship, and good bodies. Under the direction of Mr. Jack Mor- ris, basketball games were slated for Mon- day and Wednesday nights. After con- struction began on the swimming pool, games were played at Lincoln School. Fighting for the title of Champs were the Roadrunners, Thunderbirds, Martins, Cobras, Corvettes, Mustangs, Shelbys, Turbines, Cougars, and the Camaros. Each team consisted of 8—10 boys with chosen co-captains. About 90 boys signed up which was the only require- ment and participated in the intramural program which continued from December through early spring. Champions were decided in an All Star game while the Champions versus Teachers game added more excitement to the schedule. Senior Ron Pauley dribbles past his opponent, attempting to reach his basket and score two points. Giving last minute instructions, Coach Frank Houck advises his team what to do to combat the oppositions various plays and tactics in order to come out of the match victorious.

Thinclads worked all winter long to prepare for this year ' s team. 60 Track Thindads antidpate season with returning letter winners Strength and competitive endurance proved to be successful goals for the ' 68 track squad and still held true for this year. Trying to improve the past records of the team, Trojans started practice in February to prepare for the rough season ahead against such opponents as Michigan City, Bishop Noll, and Chesterton. Experience was a key which was hoped to open the doors to a successful season. The Trojan ' s strength lay in its number of experienced Harriers. Coach Poehlein ' s team had 13 returning letter- men and comprised one of the strongest units in the region. Senior Bob Szabo was back in the high jump while Senior Mike Barnes and Mike Young and Lee Loy, juniors, competed in the 440 yard run. Trojan hurdlers were Seniors Mike Patterson and Bill Allen. Highland ' s distance hopes were placed on John Stivers, Mike Dugger, seniors, and Ernie Burke, Rich White, and Dave Bell, juniors. With this combination plus other hopefuls, the trackmen placed desire over ability. One of the thirteen returning lettermen, senior Bob Szabo clears the cross bar, enabling him to continue on in the competition. A member of the 1968 track squad, Dan Otto, attempts to surpass his own records, and also those of his competitors in the broad jump match.

Under the leadership of Coach Leroy Cable, positions were switched and new talents were discovered. Pitching proved to be the biggest problem after losing Tim Juran, the All-Conference pitcher. But the defense along with experience were good advantages against the foes. Returning lettermen included seniors Dave Gilbert, Gordon Horn, Gary Ken- drick, Don Knauss, Rich Rone, and Greg Hicks, who didn ' t see much action due to a football injury. Trying to improve the ' 68 conference record of 9-2, having lost only to Merrill- ville and Lake Central, the Trojan nine started practices in March. Training both inside and outside the team prepared for opening day against Hanover Central and for the rough schedule which followed. Proficiently cocking his arm, Senior Cordon Horn prepares to hurl the ball to the catcher during infield practice before the game. Baseball 63 With the intent of putting his enemy out on the spot, Joe Skertich lunges to keep in line with the ball, but unsuccessfully beats the runner.

While members of one club draw final plans for an award-winning float or attempt to raise money to send food to a needy family, others can be heard practicing cheers in deserted hallways. In a distant room, the guest speaker waits nervously on the side while the dub president announces his presence by banging on the podium with the gavel. Silence envelops the candle-lit library as an initiation ceremony becomes a reality. Whether it ' s tuning up and practicing for the parade or rehearsing lines before the final call, each student sounds off in his own special way. Youthful voices are a vital part of any organization. By exchanging and formulating new ideas, plans on paper soon become concrete making the school and community a better place to live in. 4s a cadet teacher. Bill Madura is often called upon to explain a technique or a minor flaw in a stu- dent ' s painting. Carol Indresyk listens intently as he comments on her painting. ' Cadet Teachers ' work in local grade schools What will they think of me? What will I say? Suppose I can ' t help them with problems? Questions such as these shot through the minds of nervous student teachers. How does one become a nervous stu- dent teacher? Belonging to FTA for at least one year and being a senior are two qualifications considered. For a peek into their future ambition, senior members of FTA became cadet teachers at area grade schools. Sending a package of paper, pencils, erasers, and soap to Vietnam was just one project undertaken by FTA members. In the spring, interested club members went on a field trip to Hammond where they were given the chance to visit and work with handicapped children for a day. Other activities included a teachers ' breakfast and ushering at Open House. Planning for the annual FTA faculty breakfast are dub officers Pat Rossner, president; Greg Hicks, vice-president; Leslie Brownlee, treasurer, and Rosemary Gooiik, secretary. 66 Future Teachers of America FBLA President, Diana Swisher counts a show of hands as members vote on plans for the future toy drive. Donating toys to orphanages, FBLA brought Christmas cheer to homeless children. FBLA sells taffy apples, collects toys What is tart, sweet, and crunchy all at the same time and comes on a stick? Taffy apples sold by FBLA, of course! Members took turns selling taffy apples during their lunch hours and after school. What? . . . Highland High used as a workshop for Santa ' s helpers?! Future Business Leaders of America ' s annual toy drive lead several people to receive such an impression. Members collected harm- less, usable dolls, stuffed animals, and games to renovate for gifts to needy children. The toys were wrapped in gift paper and distributed to various orphan- ages and children ' s hospitals approxi- mately one week before Christmas. During the school year, FBLA also sponsored an awards banquet and took a field trip to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. During all activities, members kept in mind the goal of the club, to become better community business lead- ers, and to prepare for tomorrow. FBLA— FRONT ROW: Mrs. D. Mason, sponsor; J. Humpfer, R.

' ' Conversation of this type was common when they were young children pretending to be doctors, but as young adults, MCC members looked at their chosen professions more seriously. Medical Careers Club provided its members with several opportunities to gain information on the various medical fields, ranging from a general practicioner to an anesthetist. To learn more about their chosen careers, members were able to listen to doctors and nurses speak at several club meetings. Films were also used as information sources, along with visits to St. Margaret Hospital and mental institutions. During such field trips, members learned how to help others. Realizing that their chosen careers are to involve much hard work, members of MCC had an opportunity to prepare themselves for such work while they campaigned for the HEART FUND later in the year.

FHA sponsored the event, consisting of a dinner and entertainment, to help the fathers get to know their daughters bet- ter. Members of Future Homemakers of America soon realized that there was more to homemaking than just stabalizing the household. They learned to help themselves improve personal, family, and community living. As Multiple Sclerosis workers, FHA members collected donations to help aid the cause. Club members also acted as hostesses for the PTA Open House and supplied the washrooms with needles and thread for emergency mending needs. Christmas was not a time to worry about gifts for the female members of the family. The girls put their wits and talents together and sold homemade aprons and several varieties of cookbooks.

Such were the selling techniques of the American Field Service members as they paraded the halls selling Trojan buttons to aid the foreign ex- change student program. Getting to know you . . . getting to know all about you . . . AFS members had this goal in mind when they spon- sored a soc-hop to acquaint Arpa Nititham, foreign exchange student from Bangkok, Thailand with the rest of the student body. Selling charms and pins and spon- soring a soc-hop were two projects under- taken by French Club this year. Vive La Trojans, the club ' s homecoming car, reflected the true spirit of the occasion. How does a day in Chicago ' s German- town sound? Members of German Club were able to learn more about the cus- toms and culture of Germany as they ate in a German restaurant and attended a German theater. I wish I could be a model.

A game of football and a day in the sunshine were two ways that mem- bers were able to get to know each other better. With a common goal in mind, mem- bers began rehearsals for five one-acts, Two Fools Who Gained a Measure of Wisdom, Some of My Best Friends, The Rocking-Horse Winner, The Long Christmas Dinner, and Princess Rebecca Birnbaum. They were pre- sented in the late fall. Performing in area hospitals and orphanages, Drama Club added a chil- dren ' s theater to its list of activities for the year. Two three-act plays, presented in February and spring, also provided a chance for those interested to gain ex- perience in the various aspects of drama. Besides acting, members also became acquainted with make-up, costumes, and lighting. With the help of grease paint and anything else that would work. Drama Club make-up committee transforms Bob Combs, and the rest of the cast into various kinds of dogs in Some of My Best Friends. After receiving flowers from her date Steve Wargo, Rinkje Hoogewerf decides her sister, Pat Griffin; mother, Liz Wiley; and piano teacher, Jill Ustanik haven ' t really spoiled her appearance after all. 72 Drama Club Do you really think they ' re communists? Phyllis Jaynes asks of Carol Bonner. The Play , Some of My Best Friends presents a satire on the current racial issue. In spite of the comforting hand of Judy Nastyn, reminiscing about past Christmases the family has spent together brings tears to the eyes of Judy Koselke. An intruding maid played by Pat Revak, poor, destitute relatives, and no money themselves are all problems confronting George Novotny and his bride Jill Ranney.

This is what most Thespians and members of the National Forensics League would agree to be most gratifying about being members of the clubs. Outstanding students in the field of drama gained entrance into the National Thespian Society. In addition to stage presentations, Thespians sponsored a soc— hop to raise money. In November, the club sponsored the Northwest Re- gional Thespian Conference inviting forty schools in Indiana to participate. The program included such highlights as one— act plays, play cuttings, and work- shops. Students selected to be members of the National Forensics League were those who displayed exceptional speaking or debating techniques. Along with meets and other forms of competition between schools. NFL ' s activities for the year included a spring melodrama. Speech team members Pat Rossner, Linda Park- er, Terrie Evert, and Dough Welsh practice for the final time before the Highland meet which took place in January. With saddened faces Thespians Pat Rossner and Carol Bonner wonder if Bob Combs will pull through. Members presented the Creek tragedy Antigone. Thespians, Forensics 75 Youth Commission displays knives, grenades Informally discussing the plots, settings, and themes of several famous literary works, dub members met to further their knowledge of authors and writings. To establish a closer relationship be- tween youth and police was the goal of Youth Commission. Members met bi- monthly, usually at the police station and discussed such problems as drugs and delinquency. Besides visiting the Federal Building in Chicago, Youth Commission also dis- played in the library showcase, weapons confiscated from area delinquents in- cluding homemade grenades, guns, and switchblades. Students with literary interests joined Literary Discussion Club with the pur- pose of enhancing their knowledge of famous works. Members discussed plots, themes, and characters of such master- pieces as The Metamorphisis and The Confessions of Nat Turner. Formed this year was DECA, a dis- tributive educational program designed for students at tending school for half day sessions and working the other half to receive credit. As part of their training, students involved with DECA set up store displays dealing with merchandising. YOUTH COMMISSION-FRONT ROW: B. Peterson, S. Rogers, S. Faust. BACK ROW: J. Harkin, T.

Various workshops provide knowledge, for all Keeping in mind their prime goal of becoming successful actors, Joel Deceuster, Sam Carmen, and Bob Combs exchanged and acquired new ideas for stage productions at the I. U. drama workshop. How about a game of tennis when you ' re done with that copyblock? Jour- nalists who attended yearbook and news- paper workshops at Ball State, Kent State, and Michigan State Universities found that besides the time spent studying layouts, photo editing, and copy writing, there was also time for pleasure. An active game of ping pong or a refresh- ing swim released tensions after a morn- ing of hard work taking notes at lectures and completing homework. To learn more about the practical politics and the responsibilities of the American citizen, six seniors traveled to Indiana University to attend Girls ' and Boys ' State. By splitting up into two parties and forming a mock government, delegates gained an understanding of the state ' s governing body. Gaining an understanding of the qual- ities and duties of a good leader. Student Council and class officers participated in a leadership program at Indiana Uni- versity last summer.

Does a crowded atmosphere, books smothered with signatures, and pens run- ning out of ink sound familiar? Of course, that ' s the scene of the SHIELD Auto- graph Dance! Color on the division pages, new type, new paper stock, a cloth cover, and a new format were just a few of the character- istics which lended to the making of the ' 69 SHIELD, distinguishing it from others. Rating results from the ' 68 book provided staffers with something to strive for. The ' 68 SHIELD received A, All- American, and Medalist ratings from NSYA, NSPA, and CSPA, respectively. Selling pictures at the annual SHI ELD Cover Dance and sponsoring two auto- graph dances were money-making pro- jects which helped send seven major editors and staff members of the SHIELD to. workshops at Ball State University and Michigan State University during the summer.

This was a familiar an- nouncement made on the hectic Friday mornings when the special editions of the TROJANAL were to be distributed dur- ing homeroom. Indeed, extra help was welcomed when the six to twelve page special editions of the TROJANAL were pre- pared for homecoming, Christmas, sec- tionals, and graduation. A four page edition of the paper was distributed on all other Friday mornings. After the ' 68 TROJANAL received the highest honor possible, a Medalist, from CSPA, major editors of the ' 69 paper attended workshops in an attempt to produce an equally award-winning newspaper. Editors traveled to Ball State, Kent State, and Michigan State Univer- sities to learn more about newspaper basics. Clicking of typewriters, the smell of rubber cement, and a cluttered waste- paper basket were all signs of what went on in TROJANAL class. Editors and their assistants made layouts, wrote stories, did paste-ups, and proofread gallies.

What— you want me to go on TV? After that first nervous appearance, NEWS BUREAU students recovered from the jitters when presenting the student news on channel 50. In addition to producing the TV shows for Highland, NEWS BUREAU served as a public relations tool for the school by sending press releases to com- munity newspapers. Each week the Ham- mond Times, the Gary Post Tribune, the Highland Journal, and the Calumet Press received school news which was of gen- eral public interest. This was the second year that CENTAUR, the human interest magazine distributed each winter and spring, was printed in the graphic arts department. Along with increasing the number of pages in CENTAUR from sixteen to twenty-four, a new emphasis was put on photography. A greater use of pictorial essays stimulated the readers ' interest. 84 Centaur Writing press releases and preparing pictures to be sent out are News Bureau major editors Kathy Oiivotto, Irene Weinstein, Mary McFarland, and Ma!

News Bureau 85 Organizations unite, sponsor ’Spectacular’ It won ' t be long now . . . Shutting out the clatter of dishes and chatter around him, an anxious journalist awaited the moment when his position would be announced. Once again the annual Quill and Scroll banquet took place at Tieble ' s Restau- rant. Positions for the SHIELD, TROJA- NAL, CENTAUR, arid NEWS BUREAU were filled with anticipating juniors and seniors. Somber faces and a pensive atmo- sphere marked the importance of ini- tiation at a candlelight service in October. Decorating a car to enter in the Homecoming Parade was a first this year for Quill and Scroll. Club members select- ed Press ' Em for the theme of the car which was plastered with newspapers.

NHS students ' cram ' to appear on quiz show Trying out for the It ' s Academic television show was much like trying out for a play. How? Not everyone qualified and only the most capable were chosen for the parts. Like the endless rehearsals fora play, the three selected National Honor Society members spent much time cramming before their television ap- pearance. Leadership, good character, and a 7.5 grade average were the qualifications for second semester juniors and first semester seniors to be admitted to the club. Gambling, at Highland High School?! Not really, but the basketball game be- tween the NHS boys and faculty did provide an occasion for students to place a bet on what they thought would be the outcome. Donning their gold tassels at gradu- ation, NHS members were clearly distin- guished from the other members of their class. Pencilheads also displayed their honor cowls, along with fellow class members who had maintained a 7.5 grade average throughout high school.

How do I get out of here? were a few remarks made by baffled voters as they pulled levers in the voting booth. Student Council ' s Mock Election provided stu- dents with a chance to vote for their favorite presidential candidate in the national election. Even the shy had a chance for a date at the computer dance which Student Council co-sponsored with Munster. To some it proved that even machines are infallible. This year Homecoming received extra attention as Council members worked to extend it to a two-day event. Christmas was indeed a time for giving as Student Council hosted a party for the orphans at the Carmelite Home for Girls. To improve relations between the faculty and the student body, club members sponsored a Student-Teacher Breakfast. Gathering ideas Chuck McShane, Bob Combs, Pam Miller, Barb Chamberlain, Mr. Michael Keppler, and Jim Budzinski discuss plans for revising the Student Council constitution. 88 Student Council Key Clubbers assist adults in peanut sale Peanuts, peanuts for sale! Care for a bag, sir? These familiar lines were heard all over town when Key Club members assisted the Highland Kiwanis Club in a record-breaking peanut sale. With the supervision of its parent organization, Kiwanis International, Key Club worked as a service club, helping with several local projects. Bagging candy for the Childrens ' Christmas Parade and serving at the annual pancake breakfast were two such activities. Mow ' Em Down, the first place car in the Homecoming Parade, and the February Sweetheart Dance were other projects that Key Club members under- took. To promote citizenship outside of the community, Key Club sent represen- tatives to the annual convention in Indianapolis.

This question, which has been asked many times, was one of several discussed by Horizons in Science Club. During the year, members of HIS listened to lectures and watched demon- strations given by specialists in various fields of science. Active members at- tended a banquet at the end of the year sponsored by the Lions ' Club, the finan- cial backers of HIS. Also providing students with the opportunity to explore the unknown was the Science Club. Members of this club performed experiments on their own to investigate the realms of science. Seniors belonging to Science Club took an annual trip to Argonne National Laboratories, where they learned about atomic reaction and nuclear research. Besides keeping their minds active by exploring in science, students also kept their bodies in shape by joining the 500 Mile Club. Students gained entrance into the club after running 500 miles.

Yet, four girls remained calm enough to lead the booster block in a spirited cheer. And with their unceasing supply of pep and energy, they backed the Men of Troy to the very end. New blue and gold striped sweaters, gold shirts, along with perts and culottes composed the Varsity ' s attire. These they combined to form 20 different outfits. The JV squad made themselves new out- fits-matching blue culottes and vests. Practices took place to make sure every step was performed with precision. In halls and backyards, flips and cart- wheels were practiced until they could be done with accurate timing. New cheers, steps, and outfits were the visible signs of the cheerleader. But she had something more— the inward desire to back her team, the Trojans, whether they were winning or losing, and to stand and yell with all her might, so all could hear, Fight for Highland High School, Fight to win this game . .

To them that was all that was needed to show their work was worthwhile. Halloween was not a time for “tricking but for treating as Y-Teen members took candy to children at the Gary Methodist Hospital. Two needy families were made a little happier when Y-Teens furnished Thanks- giving dinners for them. Christmas caroling at St. Margaret and St. Katherine hospitals and making tray favors for the patients there were other holiday pro- jects. The girls also brought cheer to the aged residents of the Tri-State Manor Rest Home by putting on a play. Christmas in January?! Of course not, but Y-Teen members did prepare pack- ages for the soldiers in Viet Nam. In- cluded in the parcels were soap, wash cloths, and other such items.

Even though their outfits are new the spirit behind them is nothing new. Seniors Caroline Lauver and Kathy Olivotto proudly hail their team to victory. 96 Cheerleaders Blue, gold cards flash to form ' V” for victory To make the varsity game more spectacular, lettergirls, J. V. cheerleaders and varsity cheerleaders lined up to present the varsity boys before the game as the team jumped through the victory hoop. People in the stands roar with excite- ment, and then for a split second all is quiet as the audience turns to stare in awe at the splendor of what is happening. This scene took place whenever Booster Club members performed a new cheer with their colorful cards of school colors. Along with utilizing colored cards to spell out small words such as victory, team, and fight, members of Booster Club wore blue and gold capes, white gloves, and white blouses to add interest to their cheers and improve their appear- ance. Selling Homecoming mums and spon- soring the annual Homecoming dance highlighted the club ' s activities. Sweaters, charms, and other necessary materials for the cheerleaders, along with capes for club members, were purchased with the money received from selling mums. Booster Club funds were used to buy flowers for the Homecoming nomi- nees and a tiara for the chosen queen. After trotting down to the football field from the bonfire, boosters all joined in for a spirit cheer. Well. . .No! soon became a popular cheer to boost fan enthusiasm and team support. Organizing the block before the varsity game, Mai Kubiak, Booster Club president, makes sure rows are straight, and instructions understood. Booster Block 97 GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION-FRONT ROW: P.

Seniors challenge juniors’ strength infootball I ' m just as good as any ' ol boy when it comes to sports! Despite the fact that people often frown upon girl athletes, GAA members proved that they are just as capable as boys are in surviving foot- ball scrimages, basketball games and base- ball innings. Club members arrived at their meet- ings with gleaming faces and neat appearances. They left with soiled, rustled clothing, but with the same gleaming faces because they had been a part of all the fun and excitement of the planned activities. After tryouts new members were initiated into the club at a candlelight service. The true purpose and goals of GAA were seriously considered by the initiates. Undaunted by the rainy weather and mud-soaked ground, junior and senior members battled in the Powderpuff Foot- ball Game, with the seniors reigning victoriously, 7-6. Wintermist was the theme of the Girls ' Athletic Association ' s annual turn- about Christmas Dance. The club also sponsored a Mother-Daughter Banquet in the spring. It must ' ve been at least a strike to make Cindy Carroll so excited. GAA girls bowled Wednes- days after school for ten weeks during the winter. Lettermen view hockey game at Fort Wayne Stubborn donkeys and persistant Lettermen were the ingredients of the ROTC Donkey Basketball Game. It won ' t budge an inch! was the cry wailed as Lettermen tugged at the reigns of subborn burros. Helping out in the concession stand was just one activity of Lettermen. Many members sacrificed watching the game to sell refreshments to Trojan fans. Sporting their blue and gold blazers, members of the Lettermen ' s Club tra- veled to Fort Wayne, Indiana for their annual field trip. This provided an opportunity for the boys to be spectators at a professional hockey game. During sectionals, male voices could be heard along with those of the female boosters. To prove that girls are not the only ones with spirit, Lettermen became a part of the giant booster block . In recognition of their many athletic achievements on the various varsity teams, Lettermen received and proudly displayed an H on their blue sweaters. Letterman, Mike Barnes, assists in selling pop- corn and pepsis from the concession stand to Trojan fans during a home basketball game. LETTERMEN-FRONT ROW: Mr. K. Sypult, sponsor; G.

Questions such as this one raced through the minds of nervous choir members as they anticipated singing be- fore large audiences. Specially chosen for their abilities in Beginning Chorus, members of choir prac- ticed sight reading, and development of tone quality and choral technique. Singing, practicing, rehearsing— these were the activities of choir members as they prepared for performances in three concerts. Concert Choir sponsored fall and spring programs, plus a Christmas special entitled Te Deum. Angels We Have Heard on High and a selection called Snow were highlights of the program. In addition to the seasonal concerts, an annual spring operetta featured mem- bers of Concert Choir. Highland ' s Choir joined choirs of five other high schools in the Choral Festival, a non-competitive program sponsored for the first time by Griffith Senior High School in the early spring of the year. Dressed in their blue and gold robes, members of Choir stand in usual formation as they prepare for an upcoming concert. CHAMBER SINGERS— FRONT ROW: D. Poole, S. Newberry, C. Schiller, Harper, L.

Splendid Entertaining at numerous home football games Highland’s marching Band, here led by Debby Miller marches in place forming one of their various patterns. 102 Band fire baton routines fascinate audience Me! Go out in that freezing weather and practice marching formations? Forget it! Despite the frigid weather, band stu- dents did brave the early morning brisk- ness to perfect their various routines which comprised halftime entertainment at home football games. With their bright blue and gold uni- forms, glistening instruments, and lively step, band members marched in local parades and began all home football games with The Star-Spangled Banner. Three baton twirlers plus the drum major and his assistant also performed with the band. Two band concerts were presented, one for the Christmas holidays and the other in spring, to help raise money. Proceeds were used to purchase new in- struments and other band equipment. Several members of the concert band composed the Pep Band, which helped boost school spirit and backed the Tro- jans on to victory while they accom- panied the cheerblock at home basketball games. Following weeks of practicing new pieces and formations, the band, led by Drum Major Jim McDonald entertains spectators. With the attention of all the fans, majorettes Billie Sue Furnas and Janice Nichols skillfully display beauty and talent with fire batons. Band 103 Friendly Hi ' s and lively conversation fill the halls while students rush to their next classes, each voice possessing a personality of its own. These voices represent today ' s youth at Highland High. Unhappiness is apparent by moans and groans over a failed test or piles of homework. Smiles soon appear, as the once quiet cafeteria explodes with chatter of the morning events. But the constant murmur in the halls becomes hushed as the bell rings and minds settle down to a quiet process of learning. A big worry over a seemingly small problem is soon replaced by kind words expressed by the counselors and administration. Being able to express an opinion has become a very important part of life. Through this exchange of ideas and expression the entire personality of a school becomes unique from any other. Personalities within a school become the building blocks of an image. Personalities 105 School administrators play Besides acting as Student Council sponsor, Mr. Michael Keppler undertakes the job of student coordinator by approving events. Coordinating the school system is the over-all job of superintendent of schools, Mr. Allen J. Warren. Checking functions of the system, ironing out problems and planning changes also form part of his responsibilities. Passing resolutions and making rules are among the responsibilities of school board members. Board members, Mr. R. Pettit, Mr. R. Ross, and Mr. J. Terpstra fill these administrative posts. Aiding students in choosing careers suited to interests and abilities are counselors Mrs. Dodd, Mr. Hansen, Mr. Owens, and Mr. Studer. 106 Administration varied roles in regulating public system Imagine men and women sitting at their desks spending their complete work- ing day trying to solve problems involving everyone at school. These are the school administrators with jobs as varied as regu- lating the school system to counseling students. Superintendent of schools has the responsibility of co-ordinating the school system. His aids, the assistant superin- tendents work with him to check the functions of the school system, iron out problems, and plan changes in the schools. Also helping with these tasks is Mr. Paul Kiezynski, director of the at- tendance and social service department. Supervising students and school func- tions are among the duties of the princi- pal and assistant principal. School board members also play an active role on de- ciding school policies. Seeking to help students with personal or any other kind of problems is the main job of the guidance counselors who are also in charge of working out schedules. Principal Robert Day and Assistant Principal Merlin Ciinkenbeard work diligently at one of the many administration problems. Administration 107 Faculty members offer students knowledge, What ' s the answer? This simple ques- tion dominates every class from math to metal shop as the faculty strives to instill in students their own knowledge. Students aren ' t the only ones who sacrifice their free time to study. Besides preparing for classes, hours are spent grading tests, checking assignments, and calculating six weeks grades. However teachers don ' t believe in all work and no play. Bowling provides entertainment for the members of the faculty league every Thrusday. Horse- shoes and food became vital elements at a picnic hosted by Mrs. Anne Mathew, while others joined in the teachers ' breakfast sponsored by FTA. Coaching sports and sponsoring classes and clubs are among other extra-curricular activi- ties undertaken by the faculty. Confident of defeating NHS members in a basketball game, faculty teammates planned careful strategy. Even though the ladies were edged by the girls 9-8 , the men pulled through victoriously.

After hours of work and sleepless nights the sophs came up with their creation entitled Stomp ' Em. We ' re the greatest under the sun, we ' re the class of ' 71! It didn ' t take long for the green to wear away which revealed a proud and determined class of sophomores beginning their high school career. Experiencing the rush and excitement of homecoming, sophomores built their first float. After weeks of work they completed their entry entitled Stomp ' Em. Sweatshirt sales added to the regular activities of the underclassmen. Funds also grew after sponsoring the annual Mr. Football dance and giving up a Saturday to have a car wash. Along with their assumed responsi- bilities, sophomores were also granted privileges such as choosing class rings, soon to identify them as upperclassmen. Selecting class colors was both a duty and a privilege that fell to the class of ' 71. Sporting their choice of forest green and mint green during spirit week, bewildered faces melted to looks of accomplishment as they chanted their victory yell. Jim Alexander.

In Memoriam Gary Horvath March 23, 1953 — December 21, 1968 Betty Swart September 30, 1951 - February 27, 1969 120 Sophomores Experience proves worthwhile to junior class Planning the year ' s activities are Pat Gallagher , vice-president ; Mrs. P . Sirns, sponsor; Mike Roche , treasurer; Laura Arnold , president; Mr. T. Johnson, sponsor; and F ran Rossner, secretary. Experience and a ring . . . two char- acteristics that signify juniors as some- body. Somebody perhaps not quite as bold as the seniors, yet not as frustrated and bewildered as the sophomores. Sponsoring the annual chili supper, juniors succeeded in raising money for prom. Although making money was still a major concern, class members also sold blue and gold pennants to promote spirit. With the surplus budget and the chosen committees, the long and tedious hours of work began for prom. With the experience of one home- coming already behind them, juniors more efficiently constructed their second float, Pride is Our Power, which cap- tured second place in the float com- petition. Being upperclassmen, more authority was given to them, and with this achieve- ment came a sense of greater respon- sibility. Another year had passed before it was realized— a year of soc-hops, sweat- shirt sales, dances, and prom. But even though it ' s gone, it will never vanish from the memories of the juniors who anxiously await the final year of their high school career.

Dreams become realities for seniors as final year slips by Previous visions of sitting in the bot- tom rows of the booster block, relaxing on the senior court, and donning senior beanies suddenly became more signifi- cant. They became realities after two years of waiting. Bury ' Em, their last homecoming float, was awarded first place trophy during the festivities which the class proudly accepted for the second con- secutive year. Slipping and sliding through the muddy field, the senior GAA members proudly hailed a 7-8 victory over the juniors in the Powderpuff Foot- ball game to set a new tradition. Other activities included a senior class party before Christmas and another one later in the year and a trip to Chicago for all senior English classes to see Romeo and Juliet. Senior year, however, was not all fun and games. College applications, jobs, and military enlistments proved to the future graduates that their climb to the top of the ladder of life had just begun. While robes and mortar-boards be- came a part of school life, seniors realized that the work and goals pursued in the last three years had just been the basic training for the world they would soon face. June 6, 1969 at the Civic Center was a moment never to be forgotten. Taking care of the selling of senior beanies. Dan Csikos, vice-president; and Jeff Harkin, president, demonstrate their authority. Class officers also planned all senior activities.

Highland High ' s first ten years of existence were marked by a decade of unforgettable traditions . . . homecomings, football games, soc-hops, basketball games, proms, and commencements. But with the passing of these years, and the coming of the next, numerous innovations came into being. Therefore, the ' 69 SHIELD staff has tried to present some of the SOUNDS OF YOUTH. A yellow embossed spiral design on a base of homespun orange lends itself to the idea of sounds. These colors and design were chosen by the major editors with the assistance of Mr. Jack Bundy from S. K. Smith Company, Chicago, Illinois. Another inno- vation was the use of heavy cloth material instead of the traditional leather. Mr. Ed Hackleman, representative from Delmar Printing Company of Charlotte, North Carolina, ad- vised and assisted the staff in producing this year ' s SHIELD. It was with his help, the major editors selected new type faces, paper stock, and printing techniques. Differing point sizes of Universe Medium type were used in the body copy, indent blocks, captions, and index. 30 point Lydian was used for the head- lines. In the opening section, a no column Mosaic style of layout was used. To add to the openness of this style, body copy was set in 1 1 point staggered type. The balance of the book was done in 3 column look and life layout. In order to receive full contrast in black and white pictures and more vivid color in the first 16 pages, 80 pound Warrens Enamel Dull paper was used instead of the glossy enamel found in previous volumes of the SHIELD. To further express the idea of sounds, a special circular effect over a 100% orange color screen was employed on division pages. Special credit should be given to Mr. Tony Guasti of Capri Studios, Oak Park, Illinois for the expert quality of his photography. Most group shots, can- dids, sports action and team shots, senior portraits, division page, and all color pictures resulted from his knowledge and experience of picture taking and developing. The remainder of the candids, sports actions shots, and ad pictures are due to the efforts put forth by Student photographers Chuck Dijak, Don Reitman, Bob Pollitz, and Geary Smith. 1969 SHIELD STAFF Editor-in-chief Copy editor Associate copy editor .

Diana Swisher .Mr. Thomas Davis Staff, Ackno wledgemen ts 191 An encouraging word from a friend, an understanding smile from a teacher when he sees your homework isn ' t quite done, an outsider asking how things are going with the yearbook, a burning desire to accomplish something because you know it isn ' t for yourself, but for the students— these rewards are gained by every yearbook editor. No one can truly appreciate the blood, sweat, tears, and endless hours spent cropping pictures, writing cutlines, fitting headlines, and creating layouts— no one except those who forfeited all this time— the staff. As editor, take no credit for the production of this book-1 was not its creator, but you, the students of Highland High, are the ones who deserve a special thanks along with the administration and last, but far from least, the faithful staff members for contributing to the ' 69 SHIELD. Another thanks to Mr. Tom Davis for putting up with us, the ideas we came up with, and some of the weird things we did. And above all, to Mr. Richard Johns for having faith and confidence in me as an editor, and for giving me the basic journalism knowledge needed, owe a debt of gratitude which cannot be repaid.
