In the gubernatorial elections held November 14, former Highland Park student William Clements was voted in as the state’s first Republican governor in over 100 years.

The new officers were Ty Snelling, president; Stewart Thomas, vice-president; Ali- son Stone, treasurer; and Ellen Eisen- lohr, secretary. Highlander Stadium saw its last game when the varsity Scots hosted J. J. Pearce November 10. Its 75-year history ended with a reception for 59 ex-HP all state football players. The '78 team closed its season with a 23- 13 win over Sherman, finishing second in district 13-AAAA. The cross-country track teams extended their season by advancing to regional competition. Varsity basket- ball began their season with a 90-52 win over Newman-Smith of Carrollton. The senior class presented the play Don't Drink the Water November 9, 10, and 11. Leading roles were played by Drew Spies, Ken Luce, Susan Cleaver, and Carol MacGregor. Two events provided a welcome relief from homework and routine.

Under the close scru- tiny of Krojack (John Miller) the Hol- lander family including Walter (Ken Luce), his wife Marion (Susan Cleaver) and their daughter Susan played by Carol MacGregor, made plans for a daring escape. Supporting performances were also given by Connie Dolph, who played the harassed secretary Miss Burns; Mike Bagg, the ‘‘tricky priest’; and Suzanne Farrar, as the temperamental chef. The cast and crews had to put in extra effort due to a one week delay in the arrival of the scripts. Mrs. Linda Raya directed the play with the help of the stage managers, Gail Defferari, Judy Jericho, and Trey Maxwell, who cued and gave directions. Crew heads, Greg Frye, Melissa Mahaffey, Chris Alexander, Jana Lord, Mary Ann Pittman, Kim Roessler, Lauris Brown, Linda Haseltine, Lisa Bailey, Mary Bull- ington, Stacy Martin and Lynn Medart were in charge of set decoration, props, publicity, sound, lights and cos- tumes. The play was presented November 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th. Mrs. Raya commented, ‘‘The attendance on Fri- day and Saturday was the largest | have ever seen.’’ Cast parties were given each night after the play.
