Encompassing the confusing network of buildings, the majestic pillars form the foundation of Highland High. But this outer maze of structures cannot mask the maze of personalities within — 1550 students striving to be unique and creative. Motivated by the completion of a circular fieldhouse, athletes enthusiastically perform original moves. An aura of creativity overcomes teen-age actors and actresses eagerly awaiting their first presentation in a spacious auditorium. As the separate stones merge into tall, strong columns, the students merge into one, tall and strong. The youth of 1971 is inspired to explore beyond the realms of high school life, beyond the ordinary and insignificant, into A MAZE OF CREATIVITY. Columns of maze-like stones dominate the reconstructed Senior Court, where Seniors Dave DeMuth, Cary Ciochina, and Romie Sidabras relax between classes. Theme Development 3 Each school day is a portion of life, a maze of varied activities . . . hurrying to complete an assignment, anticipating lunch, worrying about personal appearance. Individuals create, exchange thoughts in maze of activities In the additional classrooms of a north wing once marred by fire, young minds unlock the bewildering maze of thoughts confronting them each moment. They seek to learn and to create ... an elaborate painting, a colorful chemical compound, a humorous English theme. With the third period revision, restless students and club members exchange creative ideas between the continuous maze of classes. In the cycle of time, the in volved individuals gain knowledge and achieve a broader outlook on life. Like stones fashioning the complex design of a column, they produce A MAZE OF CREATIVITY. The youth of 1971 is inspired to walk the halls of the school, winding pathways through a maze of buildings, with enriched vigor, with the anticipation of new experiences, and with the intense desire to create . . . the one means to true self-satisfaction. 4 Theme Development Accepting the first place trophy in float competition. Sophomore Pat Mongaraz, class president, experiences the satisfaction that rewards successful creative efforts.

Theme Development 5 Rebuilt classrooms relieve two-year cramped conditions As the doors opened for the 1970- 1971 school year, students found a maze of newly-constructed facilities. Eighteen rebuilt classrooms accommodated classes which had formerly met in cramped quarters, due to the 1968 Christmas fire. While physics and chemistry students utilized new laboratory equipment, band and choral classes occupied rooms with four elevated levels. The refurnished Senior Court allowed seniors to reoccupy their domain when not in class, and carpeted, three-tiered lecture rooms provided space for club meetings and faculty programs.

Sophomores 733 Juniors hold traditional Chili Supper January 22 Juniors started working during the summer in preparation for Homecoming on October 9. After holding two class meetings, they chose Pirate Their Goal for their float theme. With hours of making tissue flowers and let- tering their entry behind them, the moment for reward came. Judges announced the Class of 1972 as the second place winners in the class float competition. September proved a busy month for junior members of the Girls ' Athletic Association. Every night after school they spent an hour practicing for the annual Powder Puff football game. However, the seniors overpowered them with a 19-7 score. January 22 marked the date of the Junior Class Chili Supper. Held before the Highland- Lowell basketball game, the supper opened to all. Profits from the dinner aided the juniors in financing the Junior-Senior Prom on May 15. Juniors decorated the Knights of Columbus Hall in East Chicago to carry out the theme, Over the Rainbow. After weeks of organizing the January 22 event , Chili Supper chairmen Lisa Regnier, Pam Domsic, and Robbie Robbins taste the final product. Archie Abatie. Pete Acher. Heidi Ahlborn. Cary Allen.

Seniors enter ' Hang M High ' in Homecoming parade As their final year at Highland High began, the members of the Class of 1971 started on their Homecoming entry. Although seniors did not place in the class float competition, their Homecoming effort, Hang M High, depicted one aspect of The Great West. After weeks of learning new defensive plays and offensive strategy, senior members of GAA challenged the junior team in the annual Pow- der Puff football game. Cheered on by senior boys, the senior girls defeated the juniors and won the game with a 19-7 score. As the year progressed, college-bound se- niors traveled to university campuses and also filed forms for admission. Results from scholar- ship programs and achievement tests aided these students in their selection of schools. As a unique feature in the Homecoming parade, the senior class used live people in their float Hang M High.

A bright gold cloth cover embossed with a deep brown column-like design introduced the theme, A MAZE OF CREATIVITY. Mr. Jack Bundy of S.K. Smith Company, Chicago, Illinois, assisted the major editors with advice on textures, binding, and colors. Prepared pages were sent to Charlotte, North Carolina, where Delmar Printing Company type-set and printed the interior of the year- book. Editors worked with Mr. Ed Hackleman, the company representative, in basic planning. Different sizes and faces of Optima type highlighted the copy throughout the 200-page book, which was printed on a paper stock of 80 pound Warrens enamel dull. Replacing the traditional three-column layouts, major editors selected a completely new style. In opening section, five column layouts were used, and a modified five-column plan characterized the remainder of the book. Creative use of color, special effects, and art work added brightness to the 1971 SHIELD. Aztec gold end sheets matched the cover, along with the 100% gold screen employed on division pages. To further emphasize the theme, a maze-like steel engraving process was applied on division page pictures. Over- printed onto the gold, the art work con- sisted of a black outline of the cover column. Six color pictures taken by the photograp- hers of Walinger Studio, Chicago, Illinois, dominated the first signature. Walinger ' s also furnished senior portraits, underclassmen pictures, division page pictures, and many of the opening section, academics, athletics, organizations, and personalities photographs. Senior Larry Bishop was responsible for ad pictures and for the rest of the opening, class- room, club, class, and sports candids. 194 Acknowledgements Marked with the words editor-in- chief, the envelope contained two round white aspirins. They were given to me by last year ' s editor as a symbol of the headaches and drudgery that make up each yearbook page, that lead to missed deadlines, unfinished home- work, and red eyes from lack of sleep. The outward maze of pictures and copy are the result, but within lies an invisible, inner maze of endless effort. I would like to thank the students, teachers, and administrators for being the essence of this book, and the entire staff for being its energetic creators. A special thanks goes to my understanding family and to Cheryl, whose constant dedication meant much more than words can convey. I would also like to express my gratitude to Miss Poracky for her encouragement and guidance, for inspiring me to seek perfection. The process of creating is a deeply emotional one, one in which each person gains something and loses something else. From my work on the 1971 SHIELD, I have gained a feeling of self-satisfaction. But I have also gained a feeling of emptiness, for I have lost something which was a living part of me — this year. The precious moments of tears and laughter are gone, leaving only a maze of warm memories and two tiny white aspirins . . .

Senior Brian Bradshaw drums up the beat to Marne during the student talent show. Dedication program for school facilities occurs February 4-7 Dedication ceremonies of new school facilities took place over a four day period , February 4-7, 7977 . Student participation included a water ballet, and diving, gymnastic, and sports exhibitions. Following Thursday ' s open house for parents, Friday ' s program consisted of pre-game ceremonies in the fieldhouse. Guest speaker Mr. Phil Eskew, Commissioner of the Indiana High School Athletic Association, presented the keynote address. A pool ceremony, an intramural all-star game, and a student talent show completed Saturday ' s schedule. Dedication of the Lon P. Monbeck Auditorium and a reception for the former superintendent of schools on Sunday, February 7, ended the building dedication program. Dedication 797 At the dedication of the Lon P. Monbeck Auditorium, School Board President Robert Ross honors the retired superintendent of schools with a memorial plaque. Overflowing with youthful vitality, Dave McRoberts, junior, expresses his delight at the closing of another school day. Despite hard hours of practice, creating can sometimes lead to defeat or difficulty. A maze of equipment is left behind, but not for long . . . 198 Closing Student leaders fail, gain new enthusiasm in maze of creativity An empty classroom waiting to be filled with analytical minds, a deserted football field waiting to be enlivened with feverish bodies, an unfinished float waiting to be molded with skilled hands . . . Discouraged by temporary failure, weary minds, bodies, and hands have momentarily abandoned the MAZE OF CREATIVITY. In the darkness and silence of the night, they rest and regain new enthusiasm to create again. Everyday is a complicated maze of experiences, opportunities, and problems, just as the column is a maze of merging stones. By combatting pollution and setting up drug abuse programs, the youth of 1971 is inspired to mature, to distinguish between the conflicting paths of the world; a leader is a creator, and creating is part of the search for identity in the winding maze of life. Involved in the endless process of creating. Senior Barb DeCraaf uses a maze of splattered red to communicate her outlook on the Vietnam War. Indestructable and infinite , the columns are always present as a foundation of the school , as an inspiration for creative learning within. Each separate stone, each separate person, cannot escape A MAZE OF CREATIVITY. He must awaken to perpetuate his search of unexplored pathways, to conquer the unknown distance
