WE DID ITI Sophomore Jon Janott embraces Home- coming chairman Sandi Paredes as he accepts his class trophy for first place in the float competition. Homecoming 21 HERE THEY COMEt Michelle Engerski, Jane Moore, Gina Gamaleri and Beth Stark watch th nominees approach during the pep session Thurs day night Friday afternoon set homecoming activ- ities off to a good start when students were gleefully dismissed from school at 1:00. Including the clubs, class floats, home- coming court, marching band and LaFollette twirlers, the parade excitement grew. Following the theme of song titles, floats wore the names of many oldies-but- goodies and popular song titles. After having been judged, the float win- ners were announced at half-time. The soph- omore class float titled Locomotion gained first place in class competition, with the seniors ' Smoke on the Water captur- ing second. Club winners were band and Health Careers Club. Disappointment spoiled the homecoming game as the Merrillville Pirates defeated the Trojans, 20-0. With a case of fumbles, the Highland gridmen gave the Pirates a 19-0 lead. A good kick with 7:42 left led the foes to a 20-0 final score. INJURED AGAIN. Bill Nichols accepts careful attention given to him by Coach Smith after rein- juring his knee. Bill was able to contribute his efforts in the Homecoming game, although he was previously injured.

Hey, did you see Randy anywhere around here? Sure, he ' s in the typing hall, as usual. Hey, are you goin ' to JOHN ' S after the game? No, our group usually goes to MCDONALDS. Hangouts ... all throughout the year, students chose certain places to gather before, during, or after school. In the morning, large groups gathered on the foot-bridge, or on the trestle to discuss things before the school day began. Athletes congregated in the main hall, drama buffs in the auditorium, junior girls in the chemistry hall. Of course, students all had their special grounds out of school also. MCDONALDS, BURGER KING, and BARTONS were popu- lar places after games and school events. Play rehearsals were often followed by a trip to PIZZA HUT or MINER DUNN. And who could forget DAIRY QUEEN after a hard practice? Rinnnngggg! The morning bell has just rung, summoning students from their sep- arate halls and hangouts. Students reluc- tantly leave their places to face the long school day ahead. CANDY KING. Standing guard over the candy machines? No! Mike Slasuraitis just takes time out to think. SWIMMERS ' HAVEN. The pool isn ' t the only place that swimmers get together. Tankmen Dave Kurz and Tim Vidimos relax in the swim club office between classes. BLEACHER BOYS. Getting together during half time at a home game is one of the favorite past- times of many Highland students, shown here at the Griffith game.
