elebratinq 75 years Ann’s Garden Center on Ridge Road threw out the first ball, Highland High senior Carol Mills thrilled the crowd with a superb version of “The Star Spangled Banner” as High- land Cub Scouts presented the colors. Carol was reward- ed for her performance with a special hug from Ribbie, one of the Sox’ mascots, as a great representation of High- land residents watched. Ron Kittle, Sox slugger and a resident of the Calumet Re- gion, was especially cordial to the Highland visitors, recalling his own high school days when he played Highland teams and students like alum- ni Brian Paluga. As September rolled around and things returned to normal both at Highland and Comiskey Park, many real- ized there are special times from sharing special events. Mayer “Highland residents were also stars” Celebrations are always special times, and when High- land and a good neighbor to the north — Comiskey Park — both celebrated the m agic 75 years of age, it was inevita- ble that some good things would happen. After a parade and picnic, full of games, old-fashioned dress, and plenty of fun for all was held in connection with the Fourth of July, The Chica- go White Sox invited High- land to come up and share in the celebration of the Major Leagues’ oldest ball park. On August 11 a group of resi- dents rode up the Dan Ryan to celebrate Highland Day at Co- miskey Park, and Highland residents were also stars.

Ossello Four distant years ago, yet just yesterday, we were all naive freshmen with many fears of what would happen in the years to come. Now our high school days are coming close to an end and we are counting down the days to the beginning of the rest of our lives with a new set of fears and responsibilities. We reminisce with our classmates of days gone by and think of the crazy things we have done for fun. Today we feel these antics will be be- low us as we look to the future and what we will be as men and women in society. We have been told in ele- mentary school we can be Dave Blaskovich and Craig Lucero know how to brighten up any class — with a smile! ve grown anything we want to be, but most of us realize that the sky is not the limit; it is the oppor- tunities out there in the real world that are our limits. Sometimes this makes the choice easier and sometimes it keeps us from doing what we’d really like to do. Either way, we are beginning to see the world as it is. We are pre- pared to face it in many ways through our high school ex- periences. To relax or find our- selves or travel. The choice is ours to make. We’ve grown so much psy- chologically, socially, phys- ically and educationally, the sky is the limit here as to what we can do for ourselves and the world we live in.
