Choices... people determine year's direction Indifference was not pervasive by any means. Many pursued a vibrant interest in sports, drama- tics, and pep. They used Highland Park's excel- lent curricular opportunities to achieve personal fulfillment and to provide welcome diversion for thousands of patrons. Although small clubs remained small, they were rewarding outlets for anyone who sought them out.

Whether Highland Park was a unified, progressive, stimulating life experience or not depended on its people and their decisions. 12
