stiield ’73 HgNard tigfi sclicd highlard, irJiara volume 14 I I feel like I ' m the bottom person in a locker stuffed with 2300 people. Cramped and crushed, seniors, juniors, new sophomores, and now freshmen stampede halls and I shrink into nothingness. Classrooms jam with kids, because space and teachers are fewer than ever at Highland High. I become remote and almost unimportant. It would be nice if I could walk on stilts or tunnel under the halls to steer away from the crunching of toes and the banging of bodies, as mobs of students pour from their classes. Somehow the people manage to meet their destination, each going his own way. But I can ' t seem to find my goal because I feel stuck in a locker. In a locker a person is all alone.

Mrs Michael Kluse, Miss Linda Klassen We combine ourselves, two very different generations of students and never understanding parents, into one force, through strange combinations of peanuts, pancakes, and swimming pools. Weaving in and out of 20,000 people, we become part of a mini-society, Highland, Indiana. Peddling peanuts and pancakes to fellow Highlanders, Key Club and Kiwanis merge in fund-raising efforts for townspeople. One-hundred trees and three times as many light bulbs challenge these organizations into creating a community Christmas spirit. Families in the community share the glimmering pool water on specially planned swim nights. While some dive and splash, others attend town meetings in the administration building to discuss quality education. A peaceful co-existence develops among the school, the town, and us. More than ever we communicate, through the school board and our principals, our desire to increase our responsibilities and freedoms in the web of our community. 6 we we 7 This means you.

With the sky ablaze and the crowd shouting, Homecoming festivities got under way. Cheers of approval exploded from the stands filled with booster block members, anxious parents, and inquisitive bystanders as Seniors Tom Blink and Debbie Moor were crowned King and Queen. Although it was dreary, windy, and misty, the weather did not dampen the Trojans’ spirits during the Homecoming parade. Floats that had dissolved into nothingness and students in soggy costumes were centered around “Walt Disney World”, the 1972 Homecoming theme. Seniors shone with a feeling of pride as their class float captured first place for the third consecutive year. Wanting to hear the ring of the victory bell and also break their losing streak, the football team fought for a 7-6 victory over the Merrillville Pirates. After the game, an Alumni Coffee hour ended the ’72 Homecoming activities. Homecoming Rain, cold fails daunting senior spirit King and queen Tom Blink and Debbie Moor beam with happiness as they begin their reign. Last minute touches by juniors Don Moffett, Jim Middleton, and Mike Jezuit complete the class float in time for the parade. 12 Homecoming Clowning around, jester Senior Chuck Brady perches himself atop the Drama-Thespians and Nl : L car before the parade line up. ’72 HOMECOMING COURT— TOP: Nancy Leyden, Ralph Michalec, Sue Howlett, Bill Kuck, Joanne Trgovich, Lou Corso.

Attaching the alligator proves to be the last step to victory as Senior Class President Steve Manich makes a final check. Crates, wood and a Pirate dissolve to ashes as the bonfire flames reach into darkness. Homecoming 13 Homecoming Anticipation was etched on spectators faces during the final tense moments of homecoming action. The clock ticked off the last remaining seconds and the Trojans clinched another victory. Early in the first quarter the Merrillville Pirates scored a touchdown, but failed in the extra point attempt. Throughout the rest of the game, the Trojans fought off Pirate attempts and in the final minutes launched an offen- sive attack culminated by a pass snared by junior Doug Devich to tie the score six all. What proved to be the winning point was kicked by senior Bill Ruck amid the cheers of Highland fans. Hailed as most valuable players of the game were senior Bill Ruck for his all-out effort and junior Doug Devich for scoring the only Trojan touchdown. Checking his shoe, senior Dave Maclean prepares for the opening kick-off against Merrillville. Rainy weather fails to dampen Key Club ' s spirits and their first place float. Victory prevails over rainy skies After collecting coats and pom-pon bags, senior Jim Lindley hurries ahead of the majorettes. Caught in the scramble, seniors Mark Kelly and Ralph Michalec vie for a Pirate fumble. Before game time, senior Kathy Davidson secures sophomore Gail Goodwine’s homecoming mum. Homecoming 15 Returning the Mustang kick-off, senior Ralph Michalec runs for an eighty-yard touchdown. Combining guts and grace, 1973 Tro- jan gridmen posted a 5-5 season record. Dropping their first game 7-6 showed nothing of the style the Trojans would develop later in the season. Inexperience plagued the gridmen with only ten returning lettermen on the seventy-five man team. Determination won out in the end as the Trojans jelled into a tough fighting unit winning four of the five last straight games. Munster again proved unbeatable in a game that started out as a runaway for the Trojans. “See-saw” scoring and a missed field goal resulted in a 14-13 defeat for Highland. Named as outstanding players of the season were seniors Jim Kokinda, Dave Maclean, Ralph Michalec, and Ed Prieboy. After gridmen fought four quarters of mud and rain, the timeless scoreboard showed 14-14. With IHSAA newly overridit tie games, Griffith managed a final touch- down bringing the last Trojan defeat.

Golf courses host runners; netmen compile 6-1 record Dodging golf balls was a common place occurrence as coach Mike Poehlein’s cross country teams loped their way to another victorious season. Many of the meets were held on golf courses such as Lake Hills where a sharp eye was nec- essary to finish the race. Led by the 1-2 combination of juniors Gary Washington and Steve Serna, the Trojans accumulated a 14-3 season record. Pacing them were the other three return- ing lettermen Carl Zatkulak, Bill Barnes, and Steve Preiss. “Tennis is like a game of chess,” said Coach Jack Morris. “The player plans his entire game.” Practice began for the determined team August 15 in preparation for the opening match of the season on Sep- tember 5. Aiding the five returning lettermen were juniors Jon Swanson and John Henry in singles competition, with sophomores Gary Cox and Bill Carson in doubles. Capturing second place with a 6-1 record proved easy to the netmen, losing only to the tough Munster squad. The Trojans also took third place in sec- tionals to round out the year. Qualifying for regional competition, junior Carl Zatkulak finishes in the top twenty. VARSITY CROSS COUNTY— FRONT ROW: Coach M. Poehlein.

Golf 19 Ten million dollars in bonds hidden in a teddy bear? No wonder Mrs. Savage, portrayed by senior Mary Koenig, clung to it all the time. Unaware that the mon- ey was hidden, the Savage children com- mit their mother to a mental institution in order to gain control of the entire Savage estate. After attempts to conceal the money, defeat overcame Mrs. Savage as she was forced to turn the fortune over to her greedy children. Presented December 7 and 9, “The Curious Savage” provided an entertaining comedy with a point behind it. Speech Arts members were the only ones eligible to try out. Those with speaking parts were selected on the basis of their impro- visation and reading abilities. Assistance for directing the play came from Mr. Larry Stuber, Mr. Greg Ladd, and student director Sandi Lassanske, se- nior. if not for her fairy godmother, Cin- derella, played by junior Rose Presnell, might never have reached the ball and met her prince, junior Dave Schwann. Holding rehearsals during the summer, the special children’s production was pre- sented by Speech Arts September 23 and 30 in the Monbeck Auditorium, and Oc- tober 7 and 8 at Hobart High School. � bnau Before the ball, senior Karen Bosse and sopho- more Leslie Shiel practice a waltz with a broom.

Drama Teddy bear provides secret hiding place for Savage fortune Unnoticed, the guests of the institution listen to a conversation concerning the hidden bonds. After the children receive the fortune, junior Bea Zepeda as Mrs. Paddy turns out the lights, creating mass confusion. With her teddy bear in hand, senior Mary Koenig tells her children she has no idea where the money could be.

Couples pass around the Christmas tree so they may enjoy a dance out on the floor. 22 Turnabout in giant sleigh sit and talk, others danced to the songs of Oscar and the Majesties. Several couples looked on as they munched on Christmas cookies and drank punch. After nearly 14 hours of decorating, silver stars, ornaments, and streamers fell from the ceiling as couples took the souvenirs with them as a remembrance of an “ ’Ol Fashioned Christmas.” TURNABOUT COURT - FRONT ROW: Dave McLean, Sandi Lassanske, Jim Jonaitis, Gail Dunning, Mike Smith, Irene Walsko. BACK ROW: Deb Jeffries, Ed Prieboy, Carol Clemens, Bill Kuck, Karen Bosse, Joe Santino. Royal pair reign Popcorn strings hung on a Christmas tree, painted snow scenes, a brick fireplace, snowflakes, and a glow from red and green colored lights set the mood for an “ ’Ol Fashioned Christ- mas,” the ’72 GAA Turnabout theme. Breaking the tradition of the royal thrones, seniors Jim Jonaitis and Gail Dunning took their place as Snow King and Queen in a giant red sleigh streamed with tinsel and Christmas bulbs. While some couples preferred to just Chosen as Snow King and Queen, seniors Jim Jonaitis and Gail Dunning reign over Turnabout. Turnabout Buzzz. The bell sounded and wild feet-pounding began. Most students made it on time between classes in seven minutes passing time, but many wished for last year’s eight. Beginning upstairs from the far end of the school, long distance travelers headed for the new addition in the Junior High. Delayed by traffic jams, a quick stop at a locker, or a prolonged hi, some students developed daily tardiness. With the Junior High classrooms serving as a part of the high school, students chose between the two cafeterias for lunch. Situated near the foreign language center, two new lecture rooms opened for club meetings. Pupils joyed over an earlier 2:55 dismissal. Crowded buses began heading home at 3:25 allowing active students to participate in after-school clubs or team practice sessions. Shrieking bells ring in academics Working indirectly with most students, the administration center provides both computer facilities and meeting rooms. Points from a chemistry class lecture give sophomore Lynn Caught insight into chemical bondings. Showtime in a half hour, senior Anita Erickson dons her robe for the Christmas choral concert. 24 Halls The sloped entrance to the auditorium provides a favorite lounging spot to freshmen. A hall is a hall until it’s filled with people — then it’s a special type of hall, dominated by a certain type of people, a certain special air. Athletic jackets, sweaters and letters identify the main hall lined with jocks of all types. Football guys wear their jersies, or basketball guys wear their suit coats; but they all sit together in the athletic hall. Next to the jocks is another group of people who bask in the sunlight as it comes pouring through the court windows.There they mingle every day with friends, another part of a hall Before school, it’s easy to recognize the drama buffs as they claim the benches in the front auditorium areas. Next to them, freshman boys occupy one sloped auditorium entrance, lounging and watching others. Halls mark the spirit and the atmo- sphere of Highland as the different types of students leave their temporary imprint. Halls catch spirit of student types Alone after school, junior Kathy Vancendak tries to escape from a hard day before going to CAA. Sports jocks and cheerleaders congregate on blue park benches in the main hall by the cafeteria. Halls 25 26 ATN, Phys. Ed., Health Phys Ed, Health, ATN stress physical skill Alcohol, tobacco and narcotics are discussed in Mr. John Peterson’s ATN classes. Correct form in archery is studied in girls ' phys ed class, as shown by freshman Donna Elish. Preparing for another badminton session in class, junior Kim Wells checks some pointers. Learning the “inside” facts of the human body is one of the basic concerns of health class. Avoiding mud puddles and being stepped on by teammates are typical of the kinds of problems that faced physical education students. Gym classes engaged in outdoor activities well into the fall monsoon season, leaving unfortunate students drenched in mud as they madly kicked at a soccer ball. Volleyball, wrestling, conditioning, and gymnastics built muscles and coordin- ation in the field house, while advanced and regular swimming classes learned the four competitive strokes and studied life- saving in the pool area. Alcohol Tobacco Narcotics classes studied symptoms and effects of different drugs on the body, and discussed the problems they cause for society. Students viewed displays to acquaint themselves with the appearance and odor of assorted illegal drugs. After discussing various occupational possibilities, freshman health students studied the skills and educational requirements necessary for pursuing the career of their choice. Through film- strips, movies, and instruction from teachers, pupils also became familiarized with emergency first aid procedures. Proper equipment is essential for good perform- ance in the gym, as senior Jim J onaitis shows. Tests, plus exercise, are part of juniors Jerry Lannon and Dave Dobrinich’s phys ed classes. With scattered crowds mingling on bleachers, the blanket-bundled group of Girl’s Athletic Association members battled on the near freezing night for the seventh annual Powderpuff title. In the close, hard-fought game, Selund’s Smashing Seniors defeated a strong junior team, Crawford’s Branders, by a score of 14-12, after senior Gail Dunning succeeded in executing a two-point conversion play. Throughout the remainder of the year, interscholastic volleyball, gymnastics, and track and field events enabled the 185 members to earn points four times per week toward their awards. Repeating their annual service projects, the role of Letterman’s Club remained the same as in previous years. Their projects were limited to ushering in the gymnasium, working in the concession stand during athletic events, and par- ticipating in the annual field trip to a college hockey game in South Bend. Off season lettermen continued the support of the basketball team by leading the first-shaking block known as the “Trojan T’s”. While keeping spectators from the gym floor, senior Steve Preis tallies game statistics. During an intersquad volleyball game, a GAA member spikes the ball to raise the score 11-9. 28 Overwhelmed by the popcorn-hungry mass of fans, senior letterman Jim Minard looks for relief from money-shoving hands. Smashing Seniors top ' green ' Branders At one of their meetings, members of lettermen’s club discuss plans for their annual hockey trip. In their attempt to generate enthusiasm, members of the GAA Powderpuff team crepe paper a senior court tree and teammates’ lockers. Musclemen utilize 14 station machine Surrounded by bench-press equipment, senior Lou Corso strains to lift the weights again. In dead lift position , senior Hd Bogusz concentrates on lifting the 325 lb. weight. Biceps, Triceps, and Trapezoids developed from pea to grapefruit- sized muscles as weigh tlifters worked out on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in the gymnasium. Along with the fourteen-station weight machine purchased last year, the club utilized other strength-building apparatus in preparation for spring sports. Coached by Mr. Joe Balotti and Mr. John Peterson, club members hosted their annual spring invitational competition against several area schools. Documenting their mileage in a daily log, 500 Miles Club partici- pants jogged to reach their club goal guided by Mr. Mike Poehlein, sponsor. As a part of their journal, runners recorded various information such as weather conditions and where they ran each day.

By taking part in a game entitled “Disunia”, U.S. History students learned about the formation and maintenance of governments. Bankruptcy was not an uncommon condition for students in economics classes, as they played a game to learn various methods of making and losing money. Stress was placed on the im- portance of economics in everyday life and the student’s constant need for knowledge of the monetary system. Aside from studying the structure of our own system, government students also considered the processes of it. To help them understand the role of various governmental personnel as well as that of the citizen, they conducted a mock election on the eve of the national election. Various images of man was the subject of study in humanities classes. Students considered the different opinions of humanity as developed by divers cultures, with special emphasis placed on modern society. Comparative studies of psychology, para- psychology, and pseudo-psychology were the first projects of psychology classes. Students also helped with special edu- cation classes and classes for the blind. Those in sociology worked with studies of the family unit, race and ethnic re- lations, social levels, and groups behavior. “I can answer that, thinks sophomore Mark Hel ton, so he raises his one good hand.

At a Monday evening meeting, Student Council members listen as Pres- ident Pat Mongaraz, senior, comments on some business introduced While Mike Pigozzi signs an attendance list, George Gregory talks with counselors and students in the guidance office during Student Council alumni day. Campus life representative Mr. Don Lonie sur- prises many students with his different views during the first student council convocation. To finance their service projects, Key Clubbers junior Bruce Hmrovic, senior Rodd Zolkos, and freshman Steve Neuman suds up a customer ' s car. While some students rocked to the rhythm of musical groups, others were held spellbound by hypnotists or judo experts during the various assemblies planned by Student Council’s Convocation Committee. New to the organization, the Student Council Course enabled all committees to meet twice weekly during class time for planning and carrying out their work. To commemorate all students who died while attending Highland High, council members purchased a weeping willow tree for spring planting outside the school’s business wing. Members also planned alumni day, refreshing the 85 returning graduates with over 20 pounds of cookies and 36 gallons of punch. Serving pancakes and sausages, Key Club assisted the area Kiwanis Club in their annual Pancake Day held in the high school cafeteria. As a Christmas service to the town, club members helped in the construction of the town tree and in the packing of candy for distribution to area children after the Christmas parade. Hypnotism , gymnastics convos entertain student body, faculty 35 Discussing the use of projects, Mrs. Helena Karr , department head, compliments Mrs. Shoeben. “ Here ' s today ' s schedule, ” says Mrs. Gloria Karr to substitute teacher Mrs. Linda Kilburru Huck Finn lives again in literature for senior Bruce Puchek and junior John Langel. Getting speech topics from Mr. Fetty, freshmen Lola Bellinger and Sue Good discuss approaches. 36 English Researching a topic is half the assignment for sophomores Terry Greeson and Sandi Paredes. Mrs. Karr heads department; methods blend to aid learning Sounds of hammers and saws echoed through the auditorium during third and fourth periods as students busied themselves constructing props and stage settings. Stagecraft was offered. Drama classes provided training for students interested in the theater. Pantomines, history of drama, and cuttings from plays helped students increase both their knowledge of an ability to present dramatic scenes. “Butterflies” soon became past history for speech students, as they studied different methods of conveying ideas and moods. Under the supervision of newly-appointed department head Mrs. Helena Karr, junior and senior English students chose from a variety of mini-courses. Generally lasting six weeks, each course provided the student with a working knowledge of a subject normally studied in English. Many classes decided to view “Gone with the Wind” and “A Separate Peace” while studying the novels in class. Sophomores participated in a developmental reading program designed to improve reading, speed and comprehension. Utilizing a modernistic approach for English skills used with a map drill, Mrs. Novotny approves of freshman Ron Woodke’s thinking.

Perhaps so, but what would you say if you were suddently told to speak about a “gorbelmyer”? That is the kind of predicament in which Speech-Arts club members might have found themselves this year during a speech meet. In its second year, the Speech-Arts Club, directed by Mr. Larry Stuber and Mr. Joe Fetty, presented dramatic productions while representing High- land at speech, debate, and National Forensic League meets. NFL speakers from Highland numbered twenty-three, and involved themselves in drama competition containing ten speaking categories. Speech-Arts members recognized for exceptional work in dramatics were initiated into Thespians, a nationwide theater society for high school stu- dents, during January and May as part of the Speech-Arts club banquet. To become a Thespian, a student must have accumulated ten points for on- and off-stage work. THESPIANS - FRONT ROW: Diane Weiss, Mary Koenig, Jack McDonald.

Manned with a typewriter, junior Sue Goodwine dictates a press release to junior Karen Kluga. Frustrations from blank rolls of film and impossible interviews faded for jour- nalism students as the year wore on and skills, along with film, developed. Beginning Journalism classes worked directly with the Shield, Trojanal, and News Bureau staffs after learning the basics of news writing, reporting, and layout. By the end of first semester, many rose to responsible positions on one of the three publications. Photojournalism students concentrated on taking and developing good pictures while studying photo composition. Many of the pictures produced by the photo class were used in the publications. Photo essays and their impact and special effects and their uses also be- came studied topics for the “Photogs.” Journalism 41 SHIELD homework comes in bundles as senior Robin Biesen stuffs bags with “mugs” and index files for a night session.

During the crucial quick-approaching deadlines, only a small part of the staff recognized their after-school responsibilities and the difficulties met in producing a yearbook. Increasing the number of news releases in local papers. News Bureau members attempted to promote good public relations and to inform the people of daily school activities.

Trojanal staffers Lois Heidtman, junior, and Pat Mongaraz, senior, work out some layout details for the weekly edition. 44 Trojanal, Quill and Scroll Trojanal undergoes staff changes; new writers add depth to paper With proofs looking good at the printer, Trojanal ed- itor senior Kathy Balbo is all smiles. Wrestling feature stories consumes time for sports- editors senior Mike Lengyel and junior Deb Wonnacott. I As athletic teams have rebuilding years, so did Trojanal. Inadequate membership and knowledge on the staff at the start of the year yielded difficulties which arose during weekly deadlines at the printer. Second semester brought a new appearance to the paper and staff with an almost complete revamping of the system. Editor Kathy Balbo led the rebuilding process as beginning journalism students joined the more experienced ones in an effort to pro- duce a paper appealing to the majority of the student body. In a special program arranged through the English Department, advanced students learned news and feature writing, then turned their talents to the columns of the Trojanal. Through a specially selected committee Student Council headed an unsuccessful drive to abolish the Trojanal by means of a student poll or survey taken during the lunch hours. Quill and Scroll, an honor society recognizing superior achievement among high school journalists, inducted twenty new members during the April publications banquet at the Holiday Inn.

Mee thinks eet ees now time to beegin studying me homework for toomorrow’s queez, amigo. Ja! Ich muss studieren hart. Gut grades are importinish zu me. Moi, too, but mon amies, how can one studier avec all this talking? Anyone walking through the north- west wing of the Junior High might have thought he were in a mini UN, amidst a crowd of foreign-sounding voices. He would just be, however, near the five classrooms, two seminar rooms, and a central office of the foreign language area. Electronic labs equipped three class- rooms, along with 11 tape and four cas- sette players which aid students. Granted the option, all Spanish stu- dents chose between self-pacing or lock step, with daily assignments from one of the two teachers. Breaking away from the common style of learning, most students preferred working independently while following assigned objectives. Selected French and German students also partici- pated in the self-pacing program. Of the three languages offered, Span- ish enrollment exceeded the 151 French and 168 German students combined, reaching a total of 374 pupils. Munich and a trip down the Rhine River became spots of interest to German pupils, while Spanish students ventured to Madrid during spring vacation.

Summer scholars swap school for fun 62 Summer School Deciding to continue the dreaded classroom routine, 690 faithful students became part of 1972’s eight week summer session from June 12 to August 4. Whether sleepy-eyed or wet with heat, pupils earned one credit for each subject passed. Vacation-hungry scholars sought summer freedom for jobs, long awaited outings, or just “bumming around,” yielding a 200 member decrease in enrollment. The mini-student body, met by a smaller variety of class offerings, forced a drop in courses from 17 to 11. Fifty dollars became the determining factor for many eager license cravers enrolling in driver’s education. With the existence of a self-supporting program, each of the 312 student-drivers were required to pay the fee for registration. Driver’s education constituted nearly half the summer school population, with two morning and one afternoon classes. With his knowledge of Fortran, sophomore Carl Lure takes his turn operating a key-punch machine. Necessary driving preparations become habit to senior Tom Keune as he adjusts his mirror and belt. Summer School 63 Mechanical show forms on blacktop Parking his car in the student parking lot, senior Bill Kuck arrives in time for first period class. While traffic jams prevail in the parking lot, feet, busses, and bikes supply the means by which students arrive at school. Clammering out of busses, zooming up on “wheels,” and shuffling along sidewalks, Highland High students ar- rived alone or in pairs. Super-modified V-8 ’64 Olds mixed in the crowded, blacktopped parking lot with rebuilt bikes and English racers, forming a show of mechanical monuments to their owners. With vehicles parked, a strange combination of wide eyes and yawning mouths, jerseyed football players, and blue jean clad students entered the building. While some sought fun, others complained, and more than likely many dreaded the first period 50- question so-called “quiz.” End of the day announcements and 2:55 arrived, and sleeping cars again came alive as relieved students dashed out to rev engines and rush to work, home, or to Burger King. Crossing the footbridge over the Cady Ditch, students walk to school in all types of weather. Before leaving the lot, junior Dan Ruse locks up his bike after his trip to school.

Coats emerge for eager title Along with the first frost and the emergence of winter coats from moth- balls came the Highland basketball team, intent on winning. After a quick 85-83 win over Morton, they learned that winning was not quite so easy, finishing with an overall record of 10-10, but emerging from conference competition as co-champions with neighboring Griffith. The season’s climax came February 9 when Griffith’s Panthers came to the field house to battle for champ- ionship of the Lake Suburban Conference. Cheered on by a capacity crowd, senior Bill Mayer pumped in a season high 33 points for the Trojan Cagers, while Griffith fell 75-64. Mayer completed the season as the region’s second top scorer with a 22.6 point per game average. Control- ling the highest number of rebounds, senior Jim Jonaitis, team captain, snatched an average of 12 per game.

Coach Larry Johnson yells instructions to a Trojan on mat.“Diligence and determination,” said Coach Larry Johnson, “were the weapons for Highland’s wrestling team.” The grapplcrs proved formidable, equalling last year’s 10-0 season record. Con- tributing to the outstanding success of the squad, the seven returning lettermen led the team to a record-breaking year. New records were set for total pins, take- downs and most tournament wins by a Highland team. Top ranked in state, the Trojans defeated all opponents to capture the much sought after Hobart Invitational and the Indianapolis Washington Tourney Championships. These two victories gave the team the confidence necessary to continue their winning ways. “Good balance” and “good attitude” were slated by Coach Johnson as determining factors for the squad’s success. Sectional Competition qualified twelve out of thirteen grapplers for regional and state participation, February 10 and 17. “Next year’s outlook appears good,” com- mented Coach Johnson. “With over half of the varsity squad returning for 1974, the Trojans can look forward to another winning season.” Grapplers put hammer-lock on area teams During sectional competition, senior Bob Vercel strives to pin his opponent.

The stance and the take-off provide one means by which senior Bob Truman gains advantage over opposing racers in relays. Though many predicted a sunken season for the Highland swim team, a 46-member squad saw ten of eleven school records broken and Highland’s tankmen climb from 35th to 16th ranking in state. After a dual meet schedule including competition such as Griffith and Bishop Noll, coaches Robert Croll and Joe Crawford found themselves with a 9-4 record and a fourth place finish in sectionals held at Lew Wallace High School. Official practice began on October 1, with seventy hopeful Trojans working on stroke techniques and a weight program. After two months of both morning and afternoon practice, the tankers concluded their pre-season activities with a swim- a-thon to raise money for suits and timers. Outstanding performances were given by senior co-captains Dan McCarthy and Paul Musgrave, who were responsible for five school records, and by junior Karl Grimmer, who consistently led the Trojans in the 100 and 200 yard freestyle events. Perpetually, the butterfly swimmer rhythmically stretches and bobs to keep a continual pace. 74 Swimming Records refute sunken season To warm up at practice, senior Paul Musgrave swims continual laps followed by teammates.

With digs and spikes, the inexperienced Girls’ Volleyball Team surprised many older teams with co- ordinated team work. Coached by Miss Sharon Sheline, 24 girls, primarily sophomores and juniors, drilled the technicalities of volley- ball handling to produce the first such inter-scholastic team. This resulted in a second place to Gavit High in sectionals and an 8-4 season record. In its second competitive year, the Women’s Gymnastics Team boasted a more experienced roster and a larger schedule. Though run through GAA, every competitor was not a GAA member, con- trary to the 1972 team membership rul- ing. Whether perfecting seat circles or round-offs, bruises became trademarks of all the gymnasts. Coaching the team, Miss Kathy Holland and Mrs. Val LeLoup directed the girls in each of the four areas and three levels of competition. Poise and continuity peaked as individuals and team scores increased, surpassing the previous year’s marks. High marks characterized the season, highlighted by an 8.2 out of 10 points by junior Carrie Hensley on beginning uneven bars.

Fellow wrestlers extend congratulations to freshman Larry Faulkner after a close match. Outstanding proved to be the key word for the 1973 freshman grapplers. An 1 1-0 season record and the most undefeated wrestlers of any one team determine the squad’s strength. Coaches Bob Wakefield and Dave Sobo- lewski attributed the record to good balance on the team. Coach Wakefield said this was “probably the best over-all group of boys we have had to date.” He attributed this to the “hard practices” held six days a week. Highlighting the season was the victory at the Lake Suburban Conference Freshman Tournament. Good physical size was a strong point of the freshman cagemen. With the drive of freshman Biran Pulaga and Rick Domsic, the team achieved as 12-5 record. An important game of the season was the victory over Griffith. Favored to win, the Panthers were surprised by the Trojan’s speed and strength. Highland finally won out in an overall close scoring game.

Athletic Director Mr. Larry Yazel proudly stated why he feels Highland has the finest athletic program in Lake County. “We do not necessarily have the reputation in any one sport as some schools, but overall we arc the best. This success is due to a devoted staff of coaches.” With 12 years of experience in the Highland school system. Mr. Yazel first taught Junior High Physical Education for five years. After serving as Director of Recreation for three years, he was appointed Athletic Director. Expansion served as the key word in the athletic department for the past five years. In an attempt to promote student participation in sports, high school teams increased and expanded. Additional coaches brought extra help in individual instruction and training. In his down-to-earth manner. Mr. Yazel views the 1972-1973 sports season as excellent. “Highland is presently leading all conference and all trophy races. Commenting on the Supreme Court ruling permitting girls to try out for non-contact sports. Mr. Yazel stated. “If the girls’ program is good enough, there is no need to have girls on a boys’ team.” He continued, We need good, strong programs for both boys and girls: However there is no real need for mixed teams.” Along with volleyball, gymnastics, and track, plans for girls include two to three additional competitive sports. With nine varsity sports, plus three girls’ sports. Highland offers one of the largest athletic programs in the area. The main goal now is to keep the present program excellent.” said Mr. Yazcl. Summing the sports events. Mr. Yazel continues. “Statewide. Highland has one of the finest athletic programs. Both coaches and athletes must work extremely hard to perpetuate this tradition.” 1 73 BASKETBALL OPP Hammond V.

Atop a semitrailer, cheerleaders junior Gail Goodwine and senior Barb Bach lead yells at the homecoming bonfire. Flanked by majorettes, booster club and lettergirls try rousing spirits at all basketball games. “Yell, Come on you guys, yell!” Does this sound familiar? Anyone sitting amidst the group of pom pon shaking girls known as Booster Block would recognize this typical remark of one of the officers as they attempt to generate spirit throughout the apathetic group. Despite the lack of interest, some members participated in the sale of “Go Trojans” balloons. Homecoming mums, buttons, and bakery goods. Based upon attendance and spirit shown in previous years, Booster Block officers and sponsors chose 19 senior girls as Lettergirls, spelling out “Highland Trojans”. Dressing for basketball games and the Homecoming football game, the Lettergirls also marched in the Homecoming parade October 6. While attending a four-day cheer- leading clinic in Hartland, Michigan, varsity cheerleaders received first place ribbons for their cheer and pom-pon routine performed to the tune of “Day Tripper.” Together with the Junior Varsity squad, Varsity cheerleaders traveled to Indiana State University to learn more chants and yells. Spending a night in a motel and seeing the “Ca rpenters” in concert added to the excitement. Close Lake Central game tension mix with wild yells to excite senior Sue Howlett.

These were the instruc- tions that rang into the ears of bandsmen, majorettes, twirlers, and drum majors, while practicing for contests and per- formances. Strained muscles and sore feet erupted when practice sessions began in July to familiarize new and old members with march- ing styles and drills. Clad in shorts, shirts and baseball hats, the band played in the Highland Little League Parade. Hours of hard work and determination were rewarded with a First Place Trophy at the Griffith Labor Day Parade and Contest. Pride swept through the band enabling them to place first out of 38 bands at the Ball State Band Day. Over-confidence and lack of concen- tration caused the band to fall short of the Sweepstakes award at NISBOVA band competition. However a first place rating was awarded; the best ever achieved by the Marching Trojans. Field performances for the Lowell and Griffith football games were can- celled because of the poor condition of the playing surface. Rain and mud caused the Trojans to take to the track to en- tertain fans. Before the band inspection at Warsaw, Indiana, Mr. Dave Spittal listens while brass players tune. As the football team takes the field, twirlers Debbie Cummings, senior, Marla Dobrynski, junior, and Sue Johnson, senior, applaud the band. With members of concert band, sophomore Linda Rugh and senior Barb Carlson participate in the Christmas musical program. Attentively waiting for his cue, senior Kent Wilson watches for the director ' s downbeat during practice with the symphonic band. 88 Band After-school practices draw miniature crowds Strains of both modern and classical music could be heard during class time as music buffs rehearsed for concerts and contests. After school practices sometimes brought miniature audiences, as passing students stopped to listen and observe. Each musician faced the rigor of trying out to achieve a position of first, second, or third chair in either the symphonic or concert band. Those judged to have played the best were placed in the symphonic group, while the remainder of the students composed the concert band. Two pep bands entertained at basket- ball games by accompanying majorette routines and playing popular tunes. Tuesday afternoon practices enabled these young Trojans to perform at halftime festivities and to provide background music for cheers throughout the game. A twenty-five member extra-curricular group, the jazz band attended the Notre Dame Jazz Festival and entered the area N1SBOVA competition. Their Monday and Wednesday after school practices led to a concert at the conclusion of the basketball season. Band 89 Beginning Chorus, directed by Mr. Gordon Wilder, performs yule songs at the Christmas concert. Parents, faculty, students, and over a dozen area civic groups applauded Chamber Singers as they appeared singing and dancing to the tunes of many popular songs. Besides the school-sponsored fall, Christmas, and spring concerts, the six member vocal group performed at private gatherings and at the annual N1SBOVA contest in the latter part of January. Bach, Schubert, Polifrone, and other contemporary composers and masters awaited choir, beginning chorus, and boys and girls glee club classes for study. Vocal students were given the opportunity of entering the NISBOVA contest as either a soloist, large group, or small ensemble. Choir members also participated in the annual spring choral festival in Merrillville along with six area schools. Warming up before the Choir’s Performance sen- ior Deana Deanovich practices one of her songs. Harmonization to Mr. Dave Spittal’s directions unifies the Boy ' s Glee Club. Choreography enhances music of Chamberers With the addition of choreography, senior Ron Phillips and junior Linda Duley’s responsibilities double. Strumming to the tune of “Country Roads,” senior Jim Novotny accompanies and sings with the Chamber Singers. Vocal Groups 91 Potter’s clay flew wildly through the air as the creativity of Arts and Crafts students flourished. Variation in both color and shape was foremost in the minds of 530 students while turning any imaginable materials into artistic creations. Future artists chose from virtually dozens of tools and materials to create projects that were both beautiful and functional. Beginning classes received instruction in various techniques and experimented with a variety of materials. Classes for the more advanced art student included art appreciation, research problems in art history, and independent study. The latter was designed only for students who had already taken four semesters of art. The best art works were presented to the public at an exhibit held at the high school during the spring. Also, master- pieces of students throughout the school system toured the high school as part of a traveling art exhibit. While others work on their individual projects, sophomore Bob Conces oil paints on canvas. Detailing a project, Mrs. Sally Fitch, art teacher, criticizes sophomore Bob Nachman ' s work. 92 An Simple black and white sketches prove students’ awareness and creativity in their art work. Nimble hands, unlimited tools create projects Trimming completed works senior John Upchurch evens margins for matting and display.

Completing months of rehearsal, major characters Casilda, Cornelia Ardeleanu; Luiz, Bob Mercer; Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro, George Gregory and Debbie Mitseff climax their success in three nightly performances. 94 Gondoliers Lights filtered through the scrim, a flowing, netted curtain, casting a misty, almost “Twilight Zone” appearance upon the stage. Presented by chorus and choir members, Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Gon- doliers” used the scrim to add a soft touch to the May 4, 5, and 6 production. Shortly after an infant marriage to the princess, Barataria’s young prince dis- appeared, vacating the throne. Established as rightful heir. Princess Casilda searched for her husband in spite of a secret love for her father’s drummer. With Mr. Gordon Wilder and Mr. Larry Stuber directing music and drama, and Miss Kathy Holland instructing special dancing, plans for 1972’s spring operetta began in late January. George Gregory appeared as the Duke of Plaza-Toro, with Bob Mercer as Luiz and Jack McDonald as Bolero. Gondoliers Jon Dunn and Dann Conn admired the Duchess of Plaza-Toro, played by Debbie Mitseff. Her daughter, Casilda, was Cornelia Ardeleanu. Kathy Novotny and Chris Mathew appeared as members of the Contadine, a group of Spanish women. Cynthia Barnes played the part of Inez. Difficulties arise when gondoliers Dann Conn and Jon Dunn share the role of king. Carefully they explain their situation to uninterested men. In one of many rehearsals, Mr. Gordon Wilder, music director, conducts the orchestra of student and community residents. One of the main features, the “Dance a Cachucha”, included singers and dancers such as Julie Booth. Gondoliers Nearing the end of an exciting evening, couples sway to the tunes of another era in the decorated hall. Couples enjoy a glass of punch from junior Rose Presnell as they await the royalty crowning. Female painters and carpenters brushed and banged with their male counterparts while piecing together a white vine- covered gazebo for the May 13, 1973 Junior-Senior Prom. Two months of work and preparation ended with a final week of excused classes and sleepless nights. Musical notes, records, antique cars, and phonograph set the scene of “An Old Fashioned Love Song” at St. George’s Serbian Hall, Schererville. Over 200 gaily arrayed couples saw the crowning of seniors Cheryl Palikan and Nick Vukas as Prom Royalty by the returning 1971 king and queen. While some couples danced to the sounds of the Bill Thomas Band, others enjoyed the fresh air and just talking on the torch-lit court. Entertainment progressed through early morning hours with a change of scenery and music. The Lexington House, Hickory Hills, Illinois, housed a post-prom steak dinner and melodies provided by the New Colony Six. Then it was home to inquisitive parents and sleep. Though muggy weather dampened the air, couples still sought Sunday afternoon relief at the dunes, zoo, or other retreats, capping off the weekend’s activities. Gazebo, dance climax preparation Prom goers enjoy the garden setting, relaxing by the shimmering pond created by the juniors.

Forgotten starting blocks slowed 1972 cindermen three times during the outdoor season as track coaches Mr. Mike Poehlein, Mr. Ken Sypult, and Mr. Paul Blake found returning for the equipment necessary. With competition beginning March 7, track members compiled a string of broken school records. Recapturing the Hammond, Chesterton, and Rennselaer relays, Trojans placed first in the Lake Suburban Conference and ended with a 25-2 record. Four returning lettermen traveled to Indianapolis for state competition. After breaking the school record for the two mile run, Bernie Zeman captured first place in state finals. Receiving fourth place awards, Robbie Robbins competed in the high jump; Ted Craw- ford vied in the pole vault contest. Fifth place in the mile run was accepted by Dennis Bell. Fellow team members, voted Mark Coscione most valuable for his efforts in the 100-yard dash. With a two-month duration starting in early March, indoor track included running, high jump, pole vault, long jump, and shotput. During outdoor competition, team members usually acquired better timing and psychologically performed better while not confined inside. 98 Track Soaring over the sand pit, sophomore Dave Thomas uses his pre-flight run to out jump a Michigan City opponent.

Such antics as broken drivers instituted by lost golf balls were soon forgotten as Trojan linkmen solidified into a fighting squad. Working as a determined unit, 1972 golfers complied a 14-15 record for season competition. According to coach Porter Evans, concentrated effort and spirit led the fivesome to a fourth place finish in the Lake Suburban Conference. Shooting consistent low scores, sole returning letterman Jim Williamson piloted the five varsity athletes, aided by Jim Benson and junior Joe Lebryk. With the season opening, in late March, golf members practiced nightly at their home course, the Scherwood Club, in readiness for their first match. 100 Golf With his wood in full swing, Jim Williamson sends the ball soaring while teeing off.

Golf 101 Wet schedule lends conflict to total season Rainy days and baseball conflicted as 1972 diamondmen were washed out of eight games. Dropping Whiting from their list of opponents became necessary as Trojans fought a wet, tight, competitive schedule. Completing the season June 3, the 16 baseball players compiled a 14-12 record, finished second in the Lake Suburban con- ference, and captured first in the Holiday Tournament. “Qualities such as determination, talent, and cooperation are necessary in building a stro ng, unified team,” stated coach Leroy Cable. Such guidelines instigated his choosing 16 of the 35 who tried out for the team. Voted most valuable by his teammates, record breaker Dave Coolidge added four extra base hits to the list of seven posted in 1970. k. . _ ' P , N V ' s V ' Hfi Cj m JJV m ■ After surprising his Merrillville opponent with a home run, Bruce Smith receives congratulations from Trojan teammates.

Flashes of victorious homecomings, enthusiastic pep rallies and all-night float sessions burst forth before the somewhat uncertain faces of 483 graduates. Friends, relatives, and humidity abounded as the Class of ’72 convened for the last official time in the high school gymnasium. Waving heat and perspiration aside, Dr. John Young, assistant superintendent of Fort Wayne Community Schools, addressed the over capacity crowd on the topic “A Bag of Jelly Beans”. Valedictorians David Frank and Bruce Horst encouraged seniors to seek their identities and surpass achieved goals. Ambitious yet hesitant, seniors exited with their motto, “As we end this journey, we begin our quest” ... to achieve their own success. 104 Graduation With a firm handshake Superintendent Warren extends his congratulation to 4 Harshbarger while awarding his diploma. Stifling heat fails curbing alumni spirits Graduation 105 You ' re joking — 2200 kids in this school? Freshmen, too? A type of unity emerged within our ranks between the extremes of mighty seniors and lowly freshmen. New faces appeared and we discovered new friendships.

Individuals formed us — we are Highland High Fulfilling responsibilities to the school board, Superintendent Allen J. Warren met twice monthly with Board President John Terpstra, Vice- president Steve Ranich, and Secretary Ralph Pettit. As with other schools, inadequate finances posed the major issue.

The supplies also provided a means of curbing hunger pains. Depending upon their location in the building, the faculty lounges housed various department teachers. A full length mirror, and leather chairs transformed the girls ' rest room in the industrial arts wing into a new lounge. Concerned over their weight, teachers frequenting this haven decided to diet. Their will power was immediately tested when the wives of the teachers sent pastry goodies to munch. To supplement nature ' s own vitamins and curb his hunger, Mr. Jerry Hedges brought an orange every day. It was a common sight to see both him and his orange in one of the faculty lounges.

Arriving at 10:00 am, six more cooks assisted in meal preparation while the remaining four served as cashiers. Along with the daily delivery of bakery goods, potato-chips were order- ed once a week. Totaling over 100,000 square feet, office, washroom, classroom, hall, cafeteroium, and auditorium floors awaited fifteen custodians and three cleaning women for inspection. Working three eight-hour shifts resulted in round-the-clock protection seven days a week, 24 hours a day. To provide time off for the maintenance staff, two watchmen guarded the school during weekends and holidays. Custodian team targets 17 halls Cooks. Maintenance 1 19 Julie Abatie, David Ahlborn.

Full of curiosity and anxious expectations, freshmen experienced active involvement in high school activities for the first time. Lost in the maze of the high school ' s overcrowded halls, 585 freshmen joined the ranks of the Highland High. The creation of a four year high school brought freshmen and upperclassmen closer together as they many times shared the same class- rooms and subjects. Expressing their pride in being associated with the senior high students, class members campaigned October 30 through November 1 for acceptance in student council. Beginning a new tradition, freshmen boys joined ROTC while the girls enlarged and livened Booster Block with their extra spirit. Homecoming provided freshmen with an exciting novelty as they worked together to create their first class float entry. Doors open to yearlings Randy Bielak, Doro- thy Biesen.

Novel float initiates ’76 “Thump ' Em, Skunk ' Em, Knock ' Em Down titled the first freshman float ever to be entered in Homecoming parade competition. Following the Disney theme, freshmen designed their float with characters from Bambi . In the days leading up to the festivities, evenings were filled with meetings at a classmate ' s house.

The only representatives from any class, the freshman glee clubs participated in the high school choral concerts for the first time this year. The seventy-two member girls group made burgundy and pink gowns for the Christmas concert. It was during this concert that both the freshman choruses joined the other high school groups in mass chorus numbers Come Thou, Holy Spirit and Break Forth O Beauteous Heavenly Light. The boys glee club was some- what smaller at twenty, and presented Christmas numbers such as Deck the Halls and The First Noel . ’76 vocalists join concerts Darrell Morken, Doug Murga, Harvey Murphy, Carol Mur- rish, Bob Myers.

Co at checks free visitors Fieldhouse games and auditor- ium plays attracted bundled-up spectators in need of checking their coats and hats. To answer the call, freshmen Laura Koenig, and Laura Kountz assisted ROTC members checking coats. Mix-ups, however, sometimes occurred. With stub in hand, Mrs. X made her way to the counter attended by the two girls to claim her coat. Yet, Mrs. X swore upon receiving coat No. 56 that it was not hers. Mistaken identity was the answer as Mrs. X later realized coat No. 56 was her own. The Curious Savage brought more business for the two check- ers as well as unexpected busi- ness deals. The play over, all audience members, save three, collected their coats. While the girls waited for the last owners, bystanders attempted to buy the extra coats. Turning down the profit chance, the two eventually issued the coats to their owners. Puzzled over coat stubs, freshman Laura Koenig looks for help from friends. Karen Sumner, Darah Svetic.

Being “accepted by upper- classmen was a concern of many freshmen in their first year of Highland High. As a means of be- coming part of the others, it was not uncommon to see freshmen banded together in their own cliques and claiming a particular spot on school grounds or ming- ling with upperclassmen. The sloped entrances to the auditorium housed freshmen boys every morning. Lounging on the carpeting, the boys claimed the doorway as their territory and watched others from their own viewpoint. After school, back stage was home for many freshmen, particu- larly those in Speech Arts Club. Similarly, Pizza Hut was to freshmen as Burger King was to seniors — a place to go after games. Following confrontations, freshmen flocked to the Hut to enjoy one another ' s company.

Early in the year, representatives from the Herff- Jones Company converged on the school to fit and discuss different styles of rings. Delivered in December, the different styles available all contained the Trojan head. Dumbo the Elephant grew from tissue flowers as the class of 1975 constructed their home- coming float entry. Unable to obtain a large truck, sopho- mores were forced to diminish the size of their entry to fit on a smaller one. Planning ahead, sophomores included the annual car wash on their list of activities to earn money for financing future undertakings. Continuing in tradition, the car wash was held the day of the Junior-Senior Prom. Tissues make Dumbo into sophomore float Jim Burgess, Tom Burgess, Phil Butler, Bill Callison, Bill Campbell.

Being the newest, youngest class, they were often taken advantage of by upperclassmen. However, with the innovation of including freshmen in high school activities. Sophomores escaped playing the role of the little guy. Sophisticated, upperclassmen aires were prematurely put to use by sophomores as they joined in wel- coming freshmen to high school.

Man, you ' re sitting on Mars. Though a strange conversation to outsiders, the remarks made perfect sense to the primarily sophomore Varsity and JV Craw Teams. Orange shirts, white shorts, and reflective sunglasses clad the group during summer months of band prac- tice. With Titan chest beats and burnt signals, the popularity of Craw Team, a social outgrowth of the band, increased. Coach Craig Springer and Ath- letic Director Tim Murphy piloted the team, while a type of public relations came from members Dan Mro- czkowski, trainer, and Dave Mrocz- kowski, translator.

Neither cold nor ice discouraged snow-throwers from packing their balls and taking aim. Lunch hour became the favorite time for having it out. Sophomores Nancy Rippe, Linda Jacobs, and Sandy Walsko— all coatless, bootless, and mittenless— trudged out amid the flakes on the all school court one day. Snow flew, laughter rang, and fingers numbed for ten short minutes. Bystanders watched the contest which actually resembled more of a snow storm than a snowball fight. Retiring from the ring with no one declared the winner, the girls brushed off excess snow which somehow had not melted. With clothing soaked and hair full of melting snow crystals, the three, happy yet wet, separated and withdrew to their next classes.

Excursions cross Santa Claus, atoms Molecules mixed with music and Santa Claus for sophomore Chemistry 1-2 students when they embarked on NEAT (Normal Excursions Are Through) excur- sions after finishing required work in their chemistry classes. By drawing cards from different categories, sophomores found themselves doing everything from writing songs to making Christmas ornaments for the ChemisTree. What can one say in German about an atom? Sophomore Mark Dobrowski ' s NEAT assignment involved just that. Sophomore Sharon Carlson turned electrons into music as she wrote a song about atoms to the tune of As the Band Played On. Deviating even more so from the traditional path of Chemistry studies, sophomore Sue Hruska found herself explaining how chemistry related to Christmas. The findings: both have equal numbers of letters. Larry Topor, Joe Tratta, Rich Trznadel, Leornard Tumidalsky, Al Turich, Camille Turich, Joann Turner, Cliff Turpin.

Class members shared their triumph with faculty spon- sors, Miss Linda Murdock and Mr. Al Brands. Two pencils and some feelings of doubt accompanied juniors as they entered the auditorium to take the college board tests. In preparation for April 7 SAT ex- aminations, juniors took the PSAT NMSQT test October 24 and received the chance to apply for scholar- ships. Dogs on buns overflowing with piping hot chili satisfied many appetites at the annual junior class chili supper. Moving through the cafeteria line, customers se- lected chili, hot dogs, or chili dogs— whatever their taste fancied. Organization of the supper began in October to ready for the Jan- uary 19 pre -basketball game event. Proceeds financed the May 5 Jun- ior-Senior Prom held in Schererville.

As is ordinary, the junior Pow- der Puff team fell to the seniors at the 1972 GAA football game. Continuing a tradition, the junior team decided to openly express their feelings on the eve of that fateful night. Banded together like an army fighting for a cause, the girls made their way to the home of the enemy ' s leader. Rolls and rolls of toilet paper, the deadliest of weapons, were strewn and draped on Mr. Selund ' s lawn. Defeat on the battlefield did not kill the spirit of determined hearts. Largely responsible for keeping the junior fans ' spirits soaring, juniors Kent Schwamberger, Mark Evett, Jim O ' Hara, and Doug Kincaid, dressed in skirts and wigs, bor- rowed pon-poms and lead cheers. Yells and chants practiced earlier combined the juniors into one block. Battlefield defeat fails breaking spirit Leticia Jauregui, Carl Jemenko, Jay Jerome, Mike Jezuit, Cathy Johnson.

Christman agents target police station TARGET: Highland Police Station. ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL: The Christmas Season. MOTIVE: Spreading the Christmas spirit. On December 13 juniors Jan Blas- kovich. Rose Esparza, and several of their friends proceeded to the police station, armed with blinking lights, golden garland, and Christ- mas ornaments. Following their predetermined timetable, the group decorated the fresh fir tree, selected by Lt. Herman Weirsma, with dangling bulbs, lights, and tinsel. At the same time, they erected an imitation fireplace to hold Christmas stockings. After inviting the police friends to share in Christmas songs, the girls went back home. Staying on at work, the police were a bit more a- ware of what Christmas is all about. Mission accomplished.

With four different teachers taking charge during their three years of high school, uncertainty among students was common. After sponsoring the class of ' 73 during their sophomore year, Mrs. Beverly Petrunich moved to Germany, leaving Miss Carol Vischak to join Mr. Herb Schmidt in assisting with junior money- making projects. With Mr. Schmidt ' s sponsor- ship resignation, class advisors once again changed hands. While Mr. Darrel Jones became sponsor, Miss Vischak became Mrs. Kender, leaving few seniors aware of the changes. Caught up in graduation plans, president Steve Manich and vice-president Mary O ' hara planned banquet arrangements. While Marilyn Tinkle kept records, Judy Puckett guarded the class money.

In an effort to provide sen- iors with information about various post-high school oppor- tunities for study, the guidance counselors arranged representa- tives from various colleges and technical schools to address Highland students. Discussions centered around students ' interests, campus social life, and scholarships and financial need. Along with those from Indiana University and Kalama- zoo, speakers largely repre- sented midwestern colleges. Armed with literature over the represented institutions, the speakers provided a wide range of colleges to consider. Excused absences permitted still other seniors to visit campuses of their choice in and out of state. Seniors Ed Prieboy, Mark Thomas, Gerri Fulka, and Linda Petkey were among those taking advantage of the college-viewing opportunity. m Dana Ganos — Booster Block 2, 3; DECA 2; MCC 2; Spanish Club 2; Stu- dent Council 2-3; TROJANAL 2-4; HSMC.

First place . . . the class of ' 73! For three consecutive years this announcement was the cause for shouts and tears of overwhelming happiness. Seniors had good reason to be proud, as theirs was the first class to capture first place in home- coming float competition with each entry. As the years progressed, work session headquarters moved to new locations. Although class members volunteered to hold flower-making meetings at their houses, final sessions usually met at the home of the class president. As sophomores, the class of ' 73 spread chicken wire on Pat Mongaraz ' s front yard. Toilet and tissue paper cluttered Debbie Pull ins ' house during much of the junior float construction. Steve Manich, class president during his senior year, worked to maintain first place status. 154 Seniors Sandy George — Boost- er Block 2, 3; FBLA 2-4, president 4; GAA 2.

Spare time after school, in the evening, and during early morning hours found the enthu- siasts at the rink practicing, playing, or competing. Though not directly connected with Highland, the team represented the high school against opposing teams from Morton and Gavit High Schools. By the end of the year, the team met its opposition five times, encountering both defeat and victory. Glenwood and Parkforest skating rinks housed the games which sometimes resulted in minor clashes over disagreements and accidents as when a flying puck hit goalie Ron Skopelja in the face.

What better way to fulfill a movie director-producer dream than to hold an electric cord in your hands — to become a magnificent marching man of the movie machines?

As a projectionist, seniors Gary Hirtz, Jerome Kubitz, and Paul Benson might very well have shown a movie, recorded a skit on the video-taping equip- ment, and repaired a tape re- corder all in one hour. If there is no need for a movie to be shown or a dying piqce of equip- ment to be saved, other AV students at the same time studied the art of dry mounting, transparency enlargement, or As g member of the Audio-Visual department, senior Paul some Other useful skill.

Arms laid with books and material, senior Deb Moor, late arrival, enters in time for her second hour class. Thursday morning brought a mass of sleepy, and sometimes late, seniors to Highland High. A sixth period class on Thursday mornings seemed much too extravagant for those who normally had late arrival. Long considered a senior privilege, late arrivals and early releases involved over one half the senior population, 372 students. Jobs, however, soon became the main concern of most students. particularly seniors. Whether working in bakeries, as Sandi Lassanske, or department stores, as Dave Prendergast, or hamburger stands, as Debbie Smith, many seniors continually sought out full or part-time employment. Offering its assistance, the guidance department contacted industries and businesses for job-seekers. Over 50 contacts by the department resulted in interviews for students.

Abandoning the blue and gold uniform, senior Lynn Grady and other majorettes perform an impromptu fun routine at Powder Puff halftime. Six weeks of passing, punt- ing, and bruising came to its head October 17 wit h the GAA Powderpuff game. Senior girls entered into the game seemingly as underdogs. Lacking unanimous fan support and slowly losing confidence, the Smashing Seniors still emerged victorious, keeping alive the traditional senior victory. Singlewing and wishbone plays dominated senior strategy. Coached by Mr. Robert Selund, economics teacher, the Smash- ing Seniors put the most points on the board, but only with the Junior Branders close behind. With only minutes left in the game, offensive and sidelined seniors literally held their breath hoping the line would hold against a junior conversion play. The line held; a sigh of relief sounded.

Legendary athletes like Mark Spitz, Olga Korbut, and Dave Wottle left their marks at the ' 72 Munich Olympics in the form of seven gold medals, uneven parallel bars, and a golf cap. In the three week period beginning August 26, athletes and nations triumphed and failed in an attempt to fulfill goals, whether individual or social. Injustices prevailed, however, in many events. Stripped of his pride, swimmer Rich DeMont gave up his gold medal after his asthma drug was declared illegal. Forced by officials to use a pole with which he had not practiced. Bob Seagren missed the 1 7 ' 1 0 4 jump for a world re- cord. Foul-ups continued as U. S. 1500- meter runner Jim Ryun stumbled, losing his qualifying run, while Russian 800-meter runner Yevgeny Arzhanor fell, losing his only after a scrambling search to replace Thomas Eagleton, who was pressured off the ticket because of past psychiatric treat- ment. Ending in a landslide for Republican Richard Nixon, the McGovern drive quietly faded. With Nixon carrying all states but Massachusetts, it was the greatest popular vote for a President in U. S. history. Moonmen. Great dreams and great disasters arose at the end of 1972. Launched in December as the last Apollo mission, Apollo 17 had as its crew Harrison Schmitt, Ronald Evans, and Eugene Cernan. Outstanding photography highlighted the mission along with orange lunar soil dis- coveries. Destructive Quake. Two seismic shocks two days before Christmas virtually destroyed Managua, the Nicaraguan capital. Tolling roughly 6,000 dead, destruction increased with shooting and looting. medal chance. Dampening the Olympic Torch, 400-meter medalists Vince Matthews and Wayne Collett showed disrespect in refusing to salute the U. S. flag, and were barred from future Olympic activities. But disrespect was only beginning. Carried live on TV, eight Palestinian guerillas invaded the Olympic Village, seizing nine Isreali athletes and killing two others. In a confused world wondering if the Olympics could exist anymore, Colorado voters, dampened spirits further by over ruling the proposal to hold the ' 76 games in Denver. Checkmate. Mind over moves became the Bobby Fisher strategy enabling him to outpsyche Russian opponent Boris Spassky in the World Chess Championship of July, ' 72. An 1 1V4-8% match score made Fisher the first American winner. Which way to the White House. Democratic presidential hopefuls abounded during the ' 72 primaries, labled the most crowded primary season ever. Insufficient funds and support eliminated most candi- dates, leaving George McGovern the nominee and a circling confusion over running mates. R. Sargent Shriver finally joined McGovern and the head of the ticket but Millions of dollars in damage affected the entire nation of Nicaragua with a trau- matic impact. Heart Failure. Days later America felt another shock, only closer to home. After a 22-day struggle in Kansas City, the nation ' s 33rd President, Harry S. Truman, died at 88 of cardiovascular collapse. The following month, the last remaining living former President, Lyndon B. Johnson died January 22 of a sudden heart attack at his Texas ranch. A Truce. But the tone of current events was not all completely bleak. After a season of false moves and false assur- ances, a peace treaty ending the Viet Nam War for the U. S. was signed. Embittered by the breakdown of Paris Peace Talks in December, Presidential Adviser Henry Kissinger continued hard bargaining with North Viet Nam ' s Le Due Tho. Underlying the final talks were basic questions of trust and guarantees until at last a truce settlement was signed 72 times by both sides January 27. With an unmistakable pride President Nixon announced on nation TV an Americar Peace with honor, and continued to describe the nine chapters of the agree- ment. the times American reaction was first one of near indifference, unbelieving of the truce ' s validity. Belief came as the first prisoners of war returned home Sunday, February 1 1. The return of the POW ' s began the ending of an era of mixed emotions over an un- declared war. Questions about missing husbands or relatives obsessed Americans as young people chose to wear POW bracelets, illustrating their concern over Gl ' s. The Viet Nam War, causing nearly 50,000 American deaths, was not the most physically damaging in U. S. history. Psychologically, however, Americans had never endured such a war. Guys, we need more blocking on that play. Mr John Peterson The rain doesn ' t help us any. It ' s almost impossible to live separate from everyone else. So many things — people, politics, and even parties keep pushing you into a wall made of personality blocks. Sometimes each of us feels like chucking everything and hiding in a cave. But we know we can ' t retreat. Restless, our thoughts are met by ecological problems, social adjust- ments, and academic expansions. We respond to the needs of others together in large clubs or alone, walking for retarded children. High- land Boosters respond to us through donations or jobs.
