The Nineteen Fifty-Nine Little Giant Published by the Senior Class of Highland Park High School Highland Park, Illinois We Came We came to Highland Park High School four years ago as freshmen, lost and bewildered. We wandered through un- familiar halls for the first few days, lost in the true sense of the word. Soon, however, wc found ourselves, both literally and figuratively. We found what corridors led to our class- rooms; we found what activities satisfied our interests. As we became acquainted with our school, bewilderment van- ished; pride and loyalty took its place. We came, and a strange new school became the center of our activity. We saw new people here, who became our good friends, and new situations, in which we soon enjoyed ourselves. Our teachers and administrators helped us to learn and to solve our problems. While we were here, the classes of I960, 1961 and 1962 arrived as freshmen. They soon became an impor- tant pan of our school. Open to us were activities of all kinds: dances, plays, musical programs and others. We enjoyed par- ticipating in the ones which interested us. Athletic contests were exciting events in our lives here. Some of us played; the rest of us were spectators. We watched our Little Giants rise in victory and fall in defeat. We found an organization here for nearly every interest that we had. If no club existed, we formed a new one. The organizations of Highland Park High School expanded as our school grew larger. We saw, and we became an integral part of what we were seeing.
