Expanding columns, construction motivate 1971 youth to explore maze of creativity Distinctive yet unified , the individual stones combine to create an intricate maze, a panorama of expanding columns. 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
