Playoffs bring football craze to fans of HP Riding high on school spirit, Scot sup- porters turned out en masse to cheer the football team to victory against Garland in a sell-out game. With great possibilities in the playoffs, the Scots proceeded to beat R. L. Turner and Roosevelt before enthusiastic fans at Texas Stadium. In the field of theme competition, seniors Rob Swann and Hunt Blair earned finalist honors from the National Council of Teachers of Eng- lish. These boys were among the approximately 850 finalists out of more than 7,000 entries. The Highlander band achieved a first division rating in UIL competition. At the annual Salado festival, members of the bagpipe section received awards and medals in pipe and dance competition. In a close vote, the junior class elected officers. Leaders for the 1979 class were Rob Addington, president, Carol McGregor, vice president, Brenda Francis, secretary, and Mary Bullington, treasurer. In the senior class play, Cheaper by the Dozen, directed by Mrs. Linda Raya, leading roles were played by Chris Bell, Jean Beck, Charlotte Moore, and Shirley Williams. Other tal- ented seniors rounded out the rest of the cast and crews. Providing a welcome distraction from homework and school routine, Hi-Lites gave a costume dance with the safari theme, Jungle Love. The couples, dressed as lions, gorillas, and great white hunters, danced to the music of Liquid Blue and roared appropriately as club president Cathy Bass announced the club's choice for king of the Jungle by crowning Leo Didway Hi-Lite King.

sa assi? ' :sa Set in the living room of the Frank Gil- breth home in a New Jersey town dur- ing the 192O's, the senior play Cheaper by the Dozen, drew a sizable and enthusiastic crowd over its three production dates, November 9, tO, tt, and 12. An authentic reproduction of the time period transported the audience back to the days of knickers and Model T's, as crew heads Simone Myers, Cindy Maxwell, Gigi Hiland, Rosie Gutierrez, Suzanne Farrar, Betsy Booziotis, and Margy Adams worked to achieve the effect through set, props, make-up, and costumes. Another attempt at authenticity, having a real dog on the stage, backfired when the German shepherd had a sudden attack of stage fright in the wings. Despite such setbacks, the play opened on a Wednesday evening with Chris Bell and Shirley Williams assum- ing the leading roles. Others with major roles included Charlotte Moore, Jean Beck, Billy Howard, Bart lrby, Kathryn Kaufman, and Rick Kumpf. Notable type-casts were Tandy Maca- tee as the innocent, intellectual daugh- ter, and Cell Holmes, who portrayed the freckle-faced and pig-tailed young- est daughter. ln all, 26 seniors had costumed parts, but the entire produc- tion required additional assistance from 60 juniors and seniors, Director Linda Raya guided the cast and crews through an unusually short rehearsal period of three weeks and relied on stage managers Hunt Blair and Melanie Peskett, and their assist- ant, Judy Jericho, for much-needed help and organization. Although ticket sales fell short of last year's record-setting pace, Mrs. Raya felt this year's crowd was more responsive and enthusiastic. Cast par- ties after each performance revealed the seniors' enthusiasm for the show.
