Eating victory apples, the Scots enjoy a hilarious skit prepared by the Pep Rally Committee. Spirit Sails in Pep Rallies, Games Empty steps and quiet halls at Hi Park were rapidly filled at the sound of the first school bell last September by Scots returning from all parts of the world—Finland, England, Sweden, France, South America, many parts of the United States, and from a summer of fun in their “own back yards.” By the time students had become used to their new schedules, the first issue of the Bagpipe was out with the story telling of the Scots’ 27-0 victory over Thomas Jefferson High School. Highlander staff members began their assignments by arranging for under- classman pictures to be t aken. ‘Student Council representatives were elected from their second period classes. The Pep Rally Committee met to plan clever skits and posters to bolster Scot spirit. Soon all the extra-curricular activities had begun their projects for the year—Lads and Lassies, Highlandaires, the Band, and the Orchestra chose the music for their respective programs, and re- hearsals were under way. Girls in gym classes started a series of exercises to limber them up for the sports of the year. Intramural competition opened with a ping-pong tournament. And so the school year 1960-61 was launched with typical Scot spirit and enthusiasm—a spirit that carried throughout the year.

October Means Football, Parties, Hi Park Scots began the month of October by observing Religious Emphasis Week. During this week a representative of each faith spoke at assembly, and on Friday the Lads and Lassies presented a program of sacred music. Scot spirit was boosted by the traditional Color Day, as students donned the school colors of blue and gold. Hi Park’s first district game gave Scots a chance to show this great spirit. October was a busy month for the various Hi Park organizations. The Hi-Lites sponsored their annual Mother-Daughter Tea to acquaint the sophomores and their mothers with the upperclassmen and their mothers. Hi Park journalists attended the Southwest Journalism Forum, which was held at S.M.U. Foreign students were honored at a tea given by the Homemaking Department. Lads and Lassies relived their childhood days at their “kiddy picnic.” The first holiday of the year climaxed October as many clansmen at- tended the State Fair, which was celebrating its seventy-fifth anniversary. At the pep rally Jimmy Carmichael adds to the already high Scot spirit with a brief talk.
