Our is a legacy of dazzling blue skies and golden sunsets. Breathe deep the cool, fresh, South Dakota air. Celebrate a new fallen snow, Wander over unspoiled prairies. Splash in the crystal lakes and sparkling streams. Know the heritage of yesterday, See the beauty of today, A nd grow for tomorrow.

Success With Failure Homecoming or Pirate Day, began in 1931 and has contin- ued throughout the decades. On September 25, 1975, the forty-fourth king and queen were honored to reign over H. H.S. Chosen were King Pat Ankrum and Queen Cheryl Rissman. Attendants were Janet Bonnichsen, Chuck Ham- lin, Brenda Nickelson, and Jeff Whiting. Crownbearers were Terrie Mehrer and Darin Larson. Performing the Coro- nation was Marshal Marty Melvin. A skit, pep rally and then the first 'burning of the H' completed the night. When Homecoming Day finally arrived on September 26, it was an extremely windy event. When the floats, which reflected the theme Ameri- can Revolution , were pulled from the security of the build- ings into the open air, the wind quickly disrupted the work of the students. Highmore lost a heart- breaking game to Gettysburg with a score 32-0. Highmore was plaqued with mistake and unable to score. For some it was success and others it was failure, but whichever it was, it is now in the past. 7
