Because of a desire and need for additional study, 676 sophomores, juniors, and seniors re- turned to HP for the summer term. Memorizing the keyboard and preparing term themes. oc- cupied many students’ mornings, as typing, gov- ernment, and American history proved the most popular subjects. More adventurous Scots, traveling abroad with families and in church and student study groups, visited such diverse places as Greece, Spain, France, and the Soviet Union. HP students again frequented Six Flags Over Texas for employment as well as amusement. Many students volunteered for church and civic- sponsored programs to aid underprivileged chil- dren. Members of Highland Park Presbyterian Church and the Church of the Incarnation worked in OLE’, Operation Life Encounter. Still others par- ticipated in service programs for Latin-American children at community centers in West Dallas. Early in August, Scot footballers returned to the pads and began polishing their plays in pre- paration for the coming season. ANNE O'DONNELL, ARIANA CAMP, Jean Dolaway, and Verena Kielwein show skeptic Susie Dwelle the quickest way to get wet.

Computer Confusion Bewilders HP Scots PROGRAM V-P’s Diane Cory and Alan Kutner anticipate the results of the Hi-Lite beauty contest at the first meeting of the year. Wile one student pondered the most effective way to employ six study halls, another wondered how he could ever manage calculus, chemistry, physics, trig, Latin, and English without even a lunch period. Beginning this year, computers replaced the old methods of compiling students’ schedules. Mistakes made in programming the computers resulted in a number of incorrect schedules. Long lines of dis- satisfied students necessitated many days and even nights spent in effecting schedule changes. To welcome sophomores and transfer students to Hi Park, the Student Council and Hi-Lites de- signed the second week of school as “Howdy Week” and co-sponsored a dance held in the girls’ gym after the Paschal game. Highlandaires officers honored new members with an afternoon tea, and the Hi-Lites and orchestra opened the school year with picnics. Feasting on a catered barbecue dinner, HP Las- sies and band members met at Bachman Lake for their annual picnic. To conclude the evening, new director Mr. Robert Jordan installed the 1968-'69 officers. With the theme of “Haunted House,” Lads and Lassies, disguised as black cats, witches, and ghosts, held their picnic at Lee Park. DUE TO A COMPUTER mistake, Randy Clontz makes the best of being scheduled in homemaking.
