Out Of Step Don ' t give up now. Taking that first step slightly out of line with everyone else was hard enough. Making it worth the effort is what counts. When we con- tinue forward with the second, third, and fourth steps, that’s when we here at Highland High know we are all part of a terrific thing. Once is just not enough when dealing with perfection. Take the Highland Marching Trojans for instance. Not only did they capture the first place title in the category of Field of Excellence in the Plano Band Invitational, but they also went on to nab the top rating in the parade category. That ' s what truly makes our school Slightly Out Of Step with other schools. We have clubs, organizations, and teams that never give up. Regardless if it means practicing, studying, or working, long and often hard hours of preparation are not a new thing. Being number one takes time and effort. It also takes a well-rounded ability to understand exactly what being number one involves. Having the highest ratings according to someone else ' s standards is terrific; but more important is having the top ratings in the eyes of the rest of the school. When the fighting mighty Trojans football team barely lost the rough Mun- ster vs. Highland football game in ago- nizing overtime, the rest of the school didn’t look down on the team, yet looked up to them in admiration for their tremendous effort throughout the entire game. Backing each other in the things we do by supporting individuals as well as teams, is what gives everyone the cour- age to go ahead and take those second, third, and fourth steps, however Slightly Out Of Step they might be.
