A New Trend in the Making There'll Be Some Changes Made easily could be adopted as the theme song for the 1957-58 school year at Highland Park High School. Traditions and time-worn routines were discarded as new administrators introduced new policies in an attempt to provide the best education for every Parker. For instance, masses of students gathered daily at the new attendance office which centralized records of attendance. A rash of tennis shoes broke out four times this year as Parkers raced home to get there before the mailman. Why? Un the postman's brown bag was the key to survival or, better known to Parkers as report cardsl! Some beat the postman who rang twice a semester while others did not, and that probably accounted for low attendance at some extra-curricular activities. Then too, lunch hours and homeroom periods were divided. Parkers found themselves munchin' and crunchin' to the tune of a 30-minute break, However, this shortened lunch-homeroom stint left more time for study . . . and fun! Room B was converted into a lunch room for students carrying bag lunches, while Parker Hall and Main Cafteria took care of those Parkers with cash in their pockets or purses. Furthermore, classes at HPHS this year were geared to the gifted student as a result of emphasis placed on increased academic standards triggered by bursts into outer space by Russia and our own United States. To meet the demands for a stepped-up academic program, laboratories in special sciences, language, and mathematics were introduced into the curriculum. Still another innovation was the Activity Ticket, offered to Parkers for a small cost. Ticket owners received a yearbook, copies of THE SPECTATOR, four home football games, concerts and a play. NO OPENING day blues for these students. Edna Restum, Bill Watt, Terry Fletke and Paul Schlict talk over days gone by and work to come. ., wfqjmws ,si . lf..
