Seniors strive toward new, distant horizons As 391 solemn faces awaited the moment when they, the class of 1969, would become alumni of Highland Senior High, memories flashed through their minds. It all passed so quickly . . . homecoming, floats, prom, and now, graduation. Tears of sorrow and bewilderment streamed from the knowing eyes of these young men and women. We have crossed the bay; the ocean lies before us became their motto as they strove toward new and distant horizons. Whatever the future brings, the graduates will never forget the years they spent in high school. Though they have moved on, they have not abandoned us. Behind, they have left an honor, distinction, and pride in being a Highland student, for here the groundwork was laid, preparing them for something on a once dim horizon where dawn was just beginning to break. Class president Jeff Harkin. co- valedictorians Dave Dibble and Sue Horst, and salutatorian Don Clemens are honored at graduation Steve Bruner, along with his fellow members of the class of ' 69, receives his diploma and words of congratulations and encouragement offered by Superintendent Allen J Warren.
