The School cn 'CJ T. 0 .C -i-J O E 14- -i-2 cn CD CD GJ .C l'- The 1979-80 school year at Lake Highlands offered some outstanding opportunities, learning situations, and social activities, due to Lake Highlands' unique location and relation to its surroundings. Lake Highlands was not just a school, but part of a community, a country, and a world, and LH students experienced all of these aspects of life. Nothing escaped their scrutinizing eye, from Wildcat football games to the possibility of being drafted. Though life was not always pleasant, at school or in the world, the dissappointments were part of a growing process and students used them to their best advantage. It was a year of high expectations for the football team, but they fell victim to the other Cats at Homecoming. It was a dissappointment, but it only made the competition fiercer against other Plano teams. Hoping to inspire his team, Coach jerry Wells arms varsity basketball player, Cary Wilson 'th I st minute wi some a pointers. Sl 2 Opening

The World cn 'U 'C O .C -i-1 O E '4- -i-J cn CD E GJ .C l'- Outside of school, students were faced with the Middle Eastern hostage crisis. The halls buzzed with conversation about the Iranian militants holding the American hostages. Reactions ranged from Let's bomb those !?8tS, to Let's wait and see, but most students, like the nation's leaders, were befuddled by the whole situation. Controversy was also sparked at school when Congress mad a move to begin registration for the draft. Arguments were not limited to the draft itself, but extended to who, exactly would be required to register, men and women, or men only. Such pressing national and international issues caused students to examine and express their values pehaps for the first time.
