Here Today, Gone Tomorrow Trends were very much in evidence at HHS this year. The meaning of the English language was reversed, i.e., it was common to hear the phrase real bad when something was liked and keep doin' it when you wanted something stopped. If something hurt or went wrong, like a sprained ankle or a bad grade, fix me up was the phrase used. Also not at all or or what followed nearly every sentence. Down filled coats, boots, hats of all kinds, and bib overalls were all popular forms of apparel. Girls, tired of their long straight hair, got shorter styled cuts and also went to the curlier look. A general feeling of apathy hampered school spirit. Clubs and organizations didn't do as many things as in the past. Goofing off was popular and many times students were reprimanded for their immature acts. Jim Kusser, Ann Gallagher, Sheila Kutz, and Tim Kusser play bingo at the H-Club carnival. i umv The language students use is reflected all over HHS, even on campaign signs. 12 Karen DeGooyer, with the ever popular scarf on her head, talks to a neighbor in psychology.

Homecoming 1974 Homecoming maintained its high place this year dur- ing the week of September 16-20. This is always a free spirited time of the year when nights are char- acterized by building floats, piling into the back of pick- ups, driving around and honking horns. Once again the Student Council spon- sored Hat Day and Red and White Day. Queen Ann Gallagher and King Wayne Kutz were honored at Thursday's coronation. Musical enter- tainment and a skit com- pleted the program. Fol- lowing the coronation was a pep rally. In honor of Pirate Day only morning classes were attended on Friday. Cloudy, windy weather greeted the parade in the afternoon as it passed through Highmore reflecting the theme, TV Commercials . Fans emerged full-force to the football game in the evening only to see the Pirates fall to Miller, 30-12 Halftime entertainment was provided by the marching band and cheerleaders. As a finale to the annual celebration, a dance was held with music by Tree Frog . Homecoming Royalty includes Sheila Kutr and Everett Clement, Above, and Jean Stoley and Todd Marks, Right. The royal- ty was selected by popular vote of the seniors from the senior class and the final decision for king and queen was made by the student body. As crownbearers, first graders Lisa Parlin and Mark Weiseler com- plete the royal party. Marshal candidates senior Sue Bonnichsen, Junior Robert Hanson, Soph- omore Diane Kusscr and freshman Janet McDonald pause for a picture af- ter giving campaign speeches. 14
