With early dismissal on Friday, September 17 in preparation for the Homecoming parade, many students could be seen hurriedly adding last minute touches to their class or club floats. By 1:30, Kennedy and Highway Avenues were lined with people ready for the parade, which started at Plaza Lanes and ended at Main School. King and Queen nominees, the band, and the cheerleaders, as well as floats, were all a part of the parade. The float theme Animals brought many original responses. The junior class float, Wrap ' Em Up”, and the sophomore float, Chomp Us a Slice of Victory , tied for first place in the class competition. We Can Eat Anything But De-feet , the senior float, placed second. In the special entry category, F.H.A.’s We Noah We ' re Gonna Win walked away with first place.

Wow! I made it! Thinking back over the past four years. Gina Gamaleri recalls happy high school memories. Last Time. As one of his last official duties, Superintendent Allen J. Warren hands out ' 76 diplomas. 12 June 6th marked the graduation of the Classs of ’76, and also the last time Allen J. Warren would present the diplomas. New principal, George Kurteff presented the class behind the speeches of salutatorian Steve Neuman, valedictorian Brett Stephens, and class president Dave Gereau. The choir, sharing each others talents for the last time, filled the gym with the sounds of ‘‘Choose Something Like a Star” and ‘‘You’ll Never Walk Alone.” The ceremony was filled with both joy and saddness. But like it or not, by the end of the afternoon, the 526 seniors, ranging alphabetically from Julie Abatie to Russell Zuidema, became alumni of the school they had spent four years getting to know. And as surely as their class motto stated, they will never pass that way again, but Highland will never forget them! Success!
