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.
