The Spirit of ATRen Cnn Youth Is Found “The Spirit of a People Is Disclosed by the Edu- cation of Its Youth” reads the familiar saying over the stage of the school auditorium. And the Ameri- can spirit is disclosed at Highland Park, as stu- dents receive the education and training which later will make them intelligent citizens. The student is offered many roads to good citi- zenship, for Scot-land boasts high scholastic stand- ards, a superior sports department, and many fine clubs. Scots learn responsibility through outstand- ing academic training, loyalty through support of school and team, and leadership through the varied organizations. As they leave Hi Park, graduates possess the qualities which will make many of them mature, re- spected individuals in college and in later life. The 1959 Highlander will record the spirit of American youth in action at Highland Park. Whether at a football game or in a classroom, at a dance, or during the morning devotional, this spirit is always present. n

Mrs. Williams confers with Mr. Wiseman. The senior class dedicates The 1959 Highlander to Ben W. Wiseman in appreciation for his thirty years as Scot-land’s principal. During that time Highland Park has developed into an outstanding high school with superior scholastic standards. Coming to Highland Park High School in 1928, Mr. Wiseman took over as principal only five years after the high school was founded, when it was held in the present Junior High building. A man of interesting background, he had served as a cap- tain in World War I, was Dean of Weatherford Junior College, and had taught French—for some time he kept one French class at Hi Park in spite of his many tasks as principal. Upkeep of the school grounds is one of Mr. Wiseman’s chief interests.
