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.

A place for every mood W here can people go to be completely sur- rounded by bronze bodies, have hot sand beneath their feet and a definite stench of suntan oil slowly infiltrating their nasal membranes? The beach, of course! In this area, West Beach, the Dunes, and Indiana Beach are all popular. For so many teenagers, the beach is the perfect haven on those hot summer days. Of course people have different reasons for going there. Per- fecting a deep tawny tan is one obvious reason. Another aspect of the beach is the “fashion show” of colorful and or daring swimwear to be viewed by both the girls and guys. After all, where else can a person parade around only half- dressed and not be arrested? One attribute of the beach not to be overlooked is the freedom it offers. Nowhere else can one experience such total and complete relaxation. Some people find them- selves in a state of inner tran- quility and peace of mind at the beach. The rhythmic pounding of the waves is enough to place even the most uptight person in a re- laxed state. The beach is many things to people. It is a place to com- fort a troubled mind or hurt feelings, and more important- ly — a place of inspiration. ★ Sandy Kostur Mickow “The beach is many things to many people” Kicking back on a hot summer afternoon, Scott O’Connor and friend take a joyful ride. Sitting up, trying to help herself, Danielle Smith smiles while being eaten alive by her own beach chair. With a vibrant smile, junior Cindy Toth checks out the action along the shore at West Beach. Dreading the dumping of sand all over himself, Kurt Fowler closes his eyes with the hopes it won’t happen. Sophomore David Long peers off into the distance at the serene view of a beautiful summer day.
