Rivalries ‘Eat Zucchini From “Seniors will conquer” to “Highland Trojans will kill Munster, we see rivalries. They are meant to be all-in-fun wars which let the members of a club, class, or school release en- ergy, enthasiasm, and express their pride for what they have worked so ar- dently to attain. Unfortunately, people sometimes-in fact increasingly often forget that they are supposed to be all-in-fun and turn them into genuine tear down-drag out wars. People get hurt and people’s friends get hurt, and the bright spirits that everyone started the day with become dulled, making things miserable for both sides of the game. However, rivalries are an impor tant part of school and they should continue to go on. But we all must remember that unity is a most important comodity in putting on a successful show or making the winning touch- down. It is necessary for all stu- dents to unite to form a winning class; for all classes to unite to form a winning school; and eventually for even the worst of Highland and Munster rivals to unite to form a winning team. A team that can overcome the biggest challenge of all-creating a winning world. Nobody does it better! These Highland girl ' s show Munster who ' s on top. Who owns the bridge? Munster may have won the game but Highland controls the bridge. I need a litle help. Nick Crnkovich calls for some assistance to get a Munster opponent. 28 ?

J W V- |; | . I V - Are my eyes deceiving me? This year ' s homecoming which consisted of two kings and two queens was certainly a change of pace. Many people were surprised with the decision, but by the echoes of the crowd it was evident that the fans were pleased. Surely the 1980 Homecoming will be an unforgetable festivity. Other Programs which made homecoming a great success were the marching band and majorettes. Trojan pride could easily be seen in the parade and at the half time show. Also, the class floats were exhibited during the parade. The theme for the floats this year was different brands of cereals. The Junior class’ hard work and devotion paid off when their float entitled “Snap, Crackle, and Pop ' Em , took first place. The Freshman float received second place. Homecoming night on the football field was filled with suspense. During the first half of the game the score was Trojans-0, Red Devils-0. Roars from the crowd, which could easily be heard, showed the confidence they had in the fighting Trojans. As the game preceded the Trojans left their last homegame with triumphant victory over Lowell 13- 0. For many of the football players it was just another victory, but for those seniors it was the last game they would ever play on their home football field As you know, Homecoming is a time for the alumni of Highland High to return and meet up with their old friends. Everyone has picked a road in life and before you know it that old feeling of warmness returns and most wish they were back in high school. In the crowds of people you could notice the cheerful atmosphere and yet a sadness. A sadness which will lie in the hearts of people who have left Highland High School, toward a new future along with many new friends. A special treat that added to the spirit of the game, were two former head cheerleaders. The cheer on block enjoyed the cheers that the two alumnie performed. For many of the students it brought back memories from the past. Then again, it brought thoughts to some students for what they are up against in the future. 1. 2. 3. 4.
