Oh, Highlands, high upon a hill,
To many hearts there comes a thrill
When memory to the mind recalls
Thy classrooms and thy hallowed halls.
Thy teachings and thy noble aims,
Thy basketball and football games.
Those happy years with thee now past
Shall live with us unto the last.
CHORUS
Highlands High, Highlands High, our dear Alma Mater,
Loud our song o'er land and water.
Evermore our voices ring
When to thee in praise we sing.

It is not often we have a chance to express
our appreciation for the three heads of our
high school. And appreciative we certainly
are, for they have all shown us perfect examples
of superb and efficient direction.
First, a salute to our new principal, Mr. Ham-
mack! How quickly he became one of us! His
cheery Hello' and his helping hand have en-
deared him to the students of Highlands. Our
executive was born in Evansville, Indiana, on
December 24, 1907. For his A.B. degree he
attended Western Kentucky State Teachers Col-
lege, did graduate work at Peabody Teachers
College, and was granted his M.A. degree by
the University of South Dakota. From 1928 to
1931 our principal taught at Union County High
School, but his executive ability was early recog-
nized, and he became head of Morton Gap
High School in 1932. Then in 1938, after six
successful years as principal, Mr. Hammack
accepted the position of District Superintendent
of Research and Records of thirty-two Western
Kentucky counties. However, in 1942 the teach-
ing profession called him, this time to serve as
principal of Nortonville High School. In 1943,
he was summoned to Morganfield High School,
again to serve as principal. Next Mr. Ham-
mack came to — well, to a little school called
Highlands. We heartily welcome him and ex-
press our hope that he will be with us for
many years to come.
Teacher, coach, principal, superintendent —
these are all in the record of our commander-in-
chief, Mr. Russell E. Bridges. Because he has
held so many different positions and filled each
so well, he is splendidly qualified to understand
the problems of both faculty and students. He
deserves the loyal support of the entire school
system, and we know such support is whole-
heartedly his.
Miss Marguerite Moery has been at our beck
and call as adviser for so long we hardly know
what we would do without her. She is always
at her post not just as vice-principal but as
guide and friend to us all. We can scarcely
realize how much she does for us from day to
day, month to month and year to year. How
she manages to perform her multitudinous duties
so efficiently is the $64 question.

Florida, here we come!' sang four young Bluebirds, as they left last
fall to attend the Southern Association of Student Government in St.
Petersburg, Florida. These four, Charlotte Huddleston, Jack Valz, Jacque-
line Nulsen, secretary-treasurer of the Delegate Assembly, and Bill
Reeves, president of the Delegate Assembly, were graciously chaperoned
by Mrs. John C. Taylor.
When Highlands' representatives came back, they brought new ideas
and loads of enthusiasm. Their reports of the conference made us con-
scious of the importance of student government organizations in high
schools.

The Delegate Assembly responded wholeheartedly to suggestions made
by our delegates and to the helpful ideas of Mr. Hammack, faculty ad-
viser. Hall duty was resumed, and members were given supervision of
lunchroom conduct with authority to issue detention slips for infraction
of rules. Finally a Student Court, presided over by J. C. McFarland,
president of the Student Council, was established. That the highest type
of conduct and service might be recognized, the Delegate Assembly
voted to present an award to the senior boy and girl contributing most
to Highlands High School, not in scholarship or athletics, but in good
school citizenship. Also at the suggestion of the Delegate Assembly, the
student body made a substantial contribution to the "Save the Children
Federation."
Student government has proved itself at Highlands and has become
a very necessary organization, not alone for the helpful service it renders,
but also for the valuable training it affords.

Each Thursday a group of mothers is in-
vited to visit classes, tour the buildings,
and then meet the faculty for tea served
by Miss Greeno in the home economics
room. We think the intimate atmosphere
created by such a small informal group
fosters sympathy and understanding be-
tween parents and teachers.

The 1946 season found fhe Highland Blue-
birds with a veteran backfield, but a new line.
This year also brought a new coach, Mr. Wil-
liam McClure, to Highlands' staff, already
strongly fortified with Mr. Waddell, head coach,
and his aides, Mr. Law and Mr. Sadosky.
Practice began on August 14 in preparation
for the first game to be played with the Camp-
bell County Camels. In this game the fans saw
not only a new team, but brand new uniforms
—gold pants, blue jerseys, and black helmets.
The Birds scored an easy victory, and the final
score was Highlands 45, Campbell 0.
Much tougher than the Camels were the
next opponents, the Dayton Greendevils, and
although the outcome was not so pleasing to
Highlands followers as that of the previous
week, the game was hard fought. Final score.
Dayton 20, Highlands 0.
On September 20 Erlanger Lloyd's Jugger-
nauts rolled down upon the Bluebirds, only to
find themselves outclassed by the Highlanders
who chalked up another victory by a score of
32 to 7.
That over-confidence may spell near disaster
was illustrated in the game against Beechwood.
The Tigers, reckoned the weaker team, held the
Birds scoreless until late in the second quarter.
Then the home team's attack began to roll,
and three times in five minutes the visitors'
goal line was crossed. The final tally, Highlands
33, Beechwood 0.
The spectators who witnessed the tilt with
Bellevue saw Highlands at its peak, despite the
absence of Pendery and Mann. At the final
gun the Birds had 42 points and held their
opponents scoreless. The fourth quarter was
played almost entirely by reserves, but when
Bellevue threatened, the regulars returned to
the game and Bellevue's dream of a touchdown
vanished.

They can't take it sitting down. Bernie and Judge look worried.
Next the Newport Wildcats - Highlands' chief
rival! Although many considered the result a
toss-up, the Cats proved no match for the
Birds. Two touchdowns by Wiggins and one by
Schneider gave Highlands 18 points to New-
port’s one lone marker.
The team trampled Ludlow the following Fri-
day. Confident, yet cautious, the backfield
turned in its usual fine performance while the
strong line remained unshaken.
With a string of five wins to their credit,
the Highlanders met their severest test at Ash-
land. The only touchdown for the Birds came
in the first half when Schneider ran 69 yards.
McFarland kicked the game’s winning point.
Ashland's touchdown came as the result of a
stolen ball play. The Bluebirds believed the
whistle had blown and relaxed. An Ashland man
snatched the ball and started for the goal. Dick
Quehl brough him down on Highlands' 18-yard
line. From this point Anson passed for a touch-
down. Wagner saved the game for Highlands
by blocking the attempt for the extra point.
The next tilt was with Covington Holmes. The
contest was close with both teams threatening
to score, but the winning touchdown was scored
by Holmes. This defeat by no means lessened
the prestige of the Bluebirds, for in the Bulldogs
they had encountered what proved to be the
best team in the state.
The last game of the season was played at
Dixie Heights. Although reputedly one of the
best teams in the conference, the Colonels were
no match for Highlands. Duke Schneider scored
three times and McFarland added two extra
points. The game ended with Highlands on the
long end of a 20 to 0 score in the most success-
ful season since 1943.
Honey's still in the huddle.
End of a perfect game.
A good game, Duke!
Even teams that feed on glory and drink the
praises of the loyal fans need something more
substantial for building brawn, and this real
meat and bread was present at the banquet
held in honor of the team at the end of the
season. Mr. Waddell, Mr. Sadosky, Mr. Law,
and Mr. McClure summed up the highlights of
a successful season and praised the members of
the team. Mr. Hammack acted as toastmaster
and introduced the guest speaker, Dr. O'Don-
nell of Eastern State Teachers College.
Letters were presented to Jay McFarland,
Harold Wiggins, Ben Mann, Dick Quehl, Harry
Quehl, Ed Johnson, Jerry Wagner, Jerry Thress,
John Roman, Robert Faust, Leon Sarakatsannis,
Howard Schneider, Ronny Pendery, Bill Harvey,
Mark Stuntebeck, Tom Otto, Robert Calhoun,
Larry Hicks, Robert Harris, Harold Ziegler, Tom
Robertson, Bert Bathiany, Jim Daunt, Dan Zie-
gler, Don Grimme, and Blaine Moore. In addi-
tion, there were numerals for the reserve squad,
trophies for the letter-men, and a special honor
plaque for Jay McFarland.
Jerry Thress was elected captain and John
Roman alternate captain for 1947 and both
received good wishes for a successful season
next year.
The HIGHLANDER thinks it fitting to set
down here the names of those boys who, as
seniors, played their last season for their high
school: Jay McFarland, Harold Wiggins, Dick
Quehl, Harry Quehl, Jerry Wagner, Ronny
Pendery, Ben Mann, Bert Bathiany, Bob Harris,
Don Risch, Leon Sarakatsannis, Larry Hicks, and
Harold Ziegler—the super Thirteen.

SEASON
ion
The 1946-1947 basketball season found High-
lands with a completely new team and only
three weeks of practice before the first game
with Ludlow. In the Panthers the Birds met a
team which had already played eight games.
This experience proved the deciding factor as
Ludlow trounced the Birds 46-25.
The second contest of the season was played
at the home gym with Dayton. The High-
lands squad showed much improvement and led
17-14 at the half, but a field goal by Wing in
the final seconds gave Dayton the game. Final
score: Highlands 32, Dayton 35.
On December 20 the Birds went to Bellevue
to meet the Tigers and there experienced their
third straight loss. The final score: Bellevue
30, Highlands 25.
The first victory of the year came at the ex-
pense of the Simon Kenton Pioneers. Our lead
was never threatened and the final score was
Highlands 38, Simon Kenton 24.
Fresh from their first victory, the Bluebirds
traveled to Lexington to play the Lafayette
Generals. Highlands took an early lead and
was still ahead at the half, but the pace proved
too strong, and we were defeated 43-34.
On January 10 Highlands was defeated by
the Camels in our home gym 49-34.
The Bluebirds scored their second victory the
following night as they bested the Trains of
Silver Grove by the score of 33-20.
The Beechwood Tigers were the next oppon-
ents for the Bluebirds, but again Highlands
lost by the score of 42-32.
The Birds suffered their seventh defeat on the
following night at the hands of the Covington
Bulldogs. The final score: Holmes 43, High-
lands 36.
In their second game with Dayton, the Birds
met stronger opposition and suffered a 37-24
defeat.

The Bluebirds played their second game with
Bellevue in the Highlands gym and avenged an
early season defeat by the score of 39-37.
On the next evening Highlands dropped a
hard fought contest to Newport by a single
point. The Birds grabbed an early lead and
maintained it until the final 20 seconds.
Lloyd proved another stumbling block to the
Bluebirds, as they defeated Highlands 39-31.
The second game of the season with the
Campbell County Camels was a repetition of
the first. The score, however, was much closer,
the Camels winning 32-28.

The next opponent was Dixie Heights. The

nels and lost 45 to 3 I.
Highlands avenged their early season defeat
by the Ludlow Panthers in their next game. The
Birds were ahead all the way and were never
threatened.
Showing continual improvement, Highlands
trounced the Newport Wildcats with ease by
the score of 42-29.
Next the Birds suffered their second defeat
at the hands of the Holmes men. Final score:
Covington 44, Highlands 38.
Silver Grove proved no match for the
improved Bluebird team and was beaten by a
47-29 score.
The final game of the regular season was
played with Beechwood, the home team emerg-
ing on the long end of a 27-25 score.
The district tournament found Highlands
matched with Dayton in the first game. This
was the third time these teams had met and
Dayton kept a clean record by again defeating
Highlands.
This contest climaxed a season in which High-
lands had won seven games and lost 14. We
proved, however, that early season defeats
were due to lack of experience. All of us are
proud of the fine spirit of the team and of the
perseverance of our coaches, Mr. Anderson,
Mr. Law, and Mr. McClure. Captain Jerry
Wagner led the team in scoring for the year
with 155 points.
In an assembly program letter certificates
were awarded to seniors Jerry Wagner, Bert
Bathiany, Larry Hicks, and Leon Sarakatsannis.
The other lettermen of the squad were Tom
Otto, Duke Schneider, Bob Faust, Ed Johnson,
Blaine Moore, and Gene Klingman.

The first track meet of the 1946 season pitted
the fleet Bluebirds against Campbell County.
We took 10 firsts out 14 events, Jack Bahlman
winning the high and low hurdles and the broad
jump. Mann and Bathiany, the Bluebird speed-
sters, ran a dead heat in the 100-yard dash in
10.3 seconds. The final results put Highlands on
top with 84 points, while the Camels scored 34.
The next meet for Highlands was a triangular
engagement with St. Xavier and Bellevue. We
met tough competition from the Cincinnati
school, but emerged victorious. High honors
again went to Jack Bahlman, who scored vic-
tories on the high and low hurdles and the
broad jump. The final score was: Highlands
6O/2, St. Xavier 52, and Bellevue 36.
Highlands scored its greatest victory in win-
ning the K. of C. relays at Withrow on May 4,
in which schools from Southern Ohio competed.
During this exciting contest, firsts were scored
by Bahlman in the broadjump and by our sprint
medley relay team. Top scores were: Highlands
53/o, Lockland 52, Plainville 44.
On April 30 Highlands traveled to Holmes
for a dual match with the Bulldogs, who won by
a score of 62-52.
The district meet was held on May II, the
decisive battle to determine the participants
for the State contest. Highlands and Holmes
were the chief rivals; however, the results were:
Holmes 48/2. Highlands 44, Bellevue 25/2,
Newport 21, Campbell County II, and Beech-
wood 3.
The Highland Relays were held on May 13,
with Holmes again triumphing. The top scorers:
Holmes 42, Highlands 39, and Bellevue 27.
At the Kentucky State meet, Louisville Male
was the victor, Manual was second, while High-
lands took third honors, finally defeating its
rival, Holmes, who placed fourth. Highlands'
team captain, Jack Bahlman, was the individual
high scorer with 14 points, and Ziegler took
first in the pole vault.
The final contest of the season was the
N. K. A. C. at Bellevue. The score: Holmes 70,
Highlands 37/2, Bellevue 30/;. Newport 22,
Campbell County 18%.

"The Hard Way, the Hard Way, Wait Til
You Get There the Hard Way!" This is the
tune warbled under the spray of a cold shower
by Glenna Ertel, Shirley Tieman and Jane
Rauch, the only three girls to claim the coveted
G. A. A. white letter this year.
While the boys are busy with their seasonal
athletics, the girls from the ninth to the twelfth
grades are also actively engaged in sports. This
is made possible by the Girls Athletic Associa-
tion, under the guidance of Mrs. Harry Collins.
Opening the season with volley ball, the girls
played this popular sport for four months. After
training hard, our female Bluebirds went to
meet the Bellevue G. A. A., whom they con-
quered in a closely contested game ending
23-19.
it was decided that basketball and ping pong
be played simultaneously. As a climax to the
season a basketball assembly program was held
in which the Seniors beat the Juniors 12-5, and
the Freshmen conquered the Sophomores 12-6.
This was not the extent of the club's activity,
however, for every Wednesday they journeyed
to Newport to bowl. Highest bowling averages

points. If the team on which she plays wins, she
receives ten points, and when she has four
hundred points, she gains her G. A. A. pin. Of
the group of 68 members, ten girls claimed
pins this year, while five lasses received guards
for their pins. When a girl has a total of 1200
points, she gloriously claims her blue letter. If,
after much hard work, she has a grand total of
1600 points, she is awarded the white letter,

"Strike up the band"—the Highland Band—
and you are certain to have plenty of action.
This snappy organization is noted for its neal
appearance and pleasing tone quality.
During football season the band was seen
every Friday night strutting its way down the
field, the drum major and majorettes in white,
and the band in blue, forming a beautiful pat-
Binder, Bahlman, Leggott, Downs, Frickman, Swenson.
novel show was put on, ranging all the way from
well-executed military routines to boogie-
woogie.
These boys and girls really have spirit, too.
Cold or rainy weather does not stop them, as
was proved by the Ashland football game. Al-
though the field was a bog of mud, and icy
rain was pouring down, the members of the
band went on to the field and put on their per-
formance as gaily as they would have done
under a harvest moon.
The services of the band are solicited by
many organizations, and it always makes a fine
showing. One of the most important of these
occasions was their participation in the dedica-
tion of the Boone County Airport.
Each year, according to tradition, the High-
land Band presents four concerts, displaying the
ability of the band to play all types of music.
The popularity of these concerts has reached
such proportions that many music lovers have
had to be turned away because of lack of seat-
ing space in the auditorium.
Annually the band, both as a unit and as
individuals, enters the Northern Kentucky Music
Festival at which in past years it has always
rated superior. The fifty band members and
the six high-stepping majorettes certainly de-
serve it, too, for they work hard to make their
organization a good one. The band practices
at least three times a week, and this time is put
to good use, for our band has become not only
a superior musical unit but also a superior
marching group.
The six majorettes put in many hours of prac-
tice, too, and as a result they have perfected
a number of well-coordinated routines. These
girls were also rated superior at state last year
as reward for their tireless effort.
Who is responsible for making the Highland
Band the fine organization it is? None other
than the director, James B. McKenna, better
known as Mac. It is through his years of hard
work and unrelenting effort that the Highland
Band has gained its reputation as one of the
best known and most popular musical organiza-
tions in Northern Kentucky. Seniors graduate
and fine musicians are lost, but "Mac" always
manages to keep his music tops and the band
playing on.

Caroling choristers.
A hush falls over the auditorium. The curtains
part, and on the stage the chorus begins its
opening number. This a familiar sight to the
students at Highlands, for the chorus often par-
ticipates in school programs throughout the
year. The melodious voices of our choristers
have thrilled us many times.
The chorus meets once a week to practice its
large repertoire of songs ranging all the way
from sober themes to rollicking folk music. Mr.

Emery Jones is the director of our fine chorus,
and it is through his patience and understanding
that we have such a well-organized vocal de-
partment. Any student in the tenth, eleventh,
or twelfth grades who has an acceptable voice
and a basic knowledge of music is qualified to
be a member.
The most impressive and inspiring program
during the school year is the Christmas pageant.
One could never forget the simple effectiveness
of the chorus, attired in their white robes, sing-
ing the Christmas carols. The tableaux of the
birth of Christ, presented at this program by
members of the chorus, make an unforgettable
picture. This year Norma Stegeman and Bob
Harris portrayed the Virgin Mary and Joseph.
Other members of the chorus took part as the
three kings, the shepherds, and the angels.
Our chorus is enjoyed not only by the student
body but by many adults as well. At various
times during the year the group presents pro-
grams for different organizations, among them
the Parent-Teacher Association.
Although the entire chorus does not travel to
the state contest, Highlands has always been
well represented by vocalists either as soloists,
in trios, or in quartets. Regional contests pre-
cede the state contest, which was held this
year at the University of Kentucky, April 24-26.
In the spring everyone looks forward to the
music festival, a combined program presented
by the band and the chorus. Each year this
program is becoming more popular. One can
easily see that the chorus is not only an asset
to our school but to the community as well.

An eerie scream resounds through the
auditorium as a dead man falls from the
closet. Everyone is horrified! What has
happened? Don't get too excited! It's
only the stage-struck members of the sen-
ior dramatic class presenting an exciting
scene from "Two Gentlemen and Verona.
This year, for the first time, Highlands'
theatrical aspirants have learned more about
the stage through organized dramatic
classes. A regular course of study was
followed, enabling students to learn not
only to interpret plays more expertly, but
also to master stage terms and the art of
production.
The first contribution of the class was
an assembly program during American
Education Week. A choral reading was
given by the group in order to promote
an interest in a world-wide education
program, and a touching story of an
imagined second Crucifixion was related
by Gladys Rebeck. To close the inspiring
assembly, Muriel Bahlman led the students
in General Eisenhower's prayer for peace.
Later in the fall the seniors presented
"The Best There Is," one of the annual
three one-act plays which told the simple,
sincere story of a young girl who, through
My little gypsy sweetheart.
the aid of a cranky, old rich man, attempted to
get the best for her sick father. For another of
the three productions the junior and senior
classes united to enact "A Nobleman in Disguise,"
a sparkling gypsy romance with a touch of
comedy. In March the seniors presented the
first of its two three-act plays entitled "Two
Gentlemen and Verona." Here were unfolded
the rollicking experiences of a young group of
stage aspirants willing to go to any extreme
to receive Hollywood contracts. To make the
production of this play easier, the class elected
Harriet Hunt, president, and Lois Breitenstein,
secretary, and divided into committees to work
as carpenters, scenic artists, and clever seam-
stresses.
With their final three-act play in May the
seniors completed one of the most successful
dramatic seasons, both financially and profes-
sionally, that Highlands has enjoyed for many
years.

A II 1 DEPARTMENT
Leaving behind the more prosaic scenes of
school life, our would-be Michaelangelos and
Leonardo da Vincis descend the stairs to Miss
Payne's art room, where they forget all about
Shakespeare and theorems for a brief hour of
recreational bliss. Indeed, in the midst of their
handiwork it is a rare moment when one of
these eager students realizes that regular school
work lies only a few minutes ahead.
But, although these artists may not call it
work, real effort is required to produce the
many types of art displayed about the room.
Here are beautifully designed belts, so popular
with the girls; there, bright posters, ready to be
entered in the "Clean-up, Paint-up, and Beau-
tiy" contest. Pounding hammers, skillfully guided
tools! The result? A piece of unromantic leath-
er is transformed into a beautiful wallet; a
small, unvarnished scrap of wood becomes an
attractive jewelry box; pieces of chalk and
sheets of plain brown paper are combined to
form a gay mural of Chaucer's Pilgrims. Nor
was the annual slighted by our artists. Linder
the able direction of Miss Payne, art sponsor,
and of Ben Wahl, art editor, the class labored
cheerfully to create the delightful sketches
found throughout this book.
With scholastic credit offered to these bud-
ding artists for the first time this year, enthusi-
asm and hard work have combined to keep this
department one of Highlands' finest.

Many of Highlands' future Patrick Hen-
rys and Daniel Websters have been learn-
ing the art of speaking under the capable
leadership of Mrs. Burt and Mr. Hammack.
Even though regular speech classes are
new, they have become a definite part of
the curriculum as the need for them be-
comes more apparent every day.
The members of the classes have taken
an active part in many school programs.
Kenny Pendery, Muriel Bahlman, and Ann
Mueller represented Highlands on the
radio for the Junior Town Meeting. Jim
Moore, Jim Zonnevylle, and Louis Schnier
introduced speakers and led prayers at
our Thanksgiving service in the auditorium.
Four members of the class spoke at the
Robert Johnson American Legion Post
during American Education Week, and ar
our annual Christmas Pageant, Bill Har-
vey read us the Bible story of the Nativi-
ty. Every student at Highlands was very
proud of Marian Austin, who, after win-
ning first place in the District Discussion
Contest, ranked third at State and came
home with a check for forty dollars.
In the district speech contests held late
in March, the following students repre-
sented Highlands: Ann Mueller, interpre-
tive prose reading; Dorothy Kasson, mono-
logue; Jim Zonnevylle, oratorical decla-
mation; and Ed Johnson, extemporaneous
speaking. The large number of students
who tried out for these various events has
definitely proved the extensive popularity
of this department.

Under the sponsorship of Mr. Elliott the
Sperti Science Club has again been one of our
outstanding school organizations.
Three delegates, John Addams, president of
the club, Nancy Collins, and Mark Johnson,
attended a conference of science clubs at East-
ern State Teachers College in October. The
theme of the conference was the enlargement
and betterment of the Kentucky Junior Acad-
emy of Science.
An exact scale topographical map of Fort
Thomas was selected as the project this year.
A contour map of the city was secured and
enlarged to a scale of one foot to one mile. The
map was then transferred to a large plywood
board, the terrain built up with papier mache,
and models of churches, schools, and other
prominent buildings placed in their proper loca-
tions. With this map the club competed for a
prize at the annual convention which was held
in Maysville. The club undertook to study all
phases of science, with emphasis on aeronautics,
and gave students a chance to experiment with-
out interrupting organized classes.

As the "March of Time" informs the Senior
High of current world topics, two figures care-
fully watch the picture machine. Nothing es-
capes these two, and it is with ease that they
correct an irregular film, or a quirk in the pro-
jector. These boys and many others make
movies available to the three elementary
schools. Such excellent training is obtained in
our Wednesday Visual Aids Club, under the
direction of Mr. Charles Allphin. Certainly their
contribution to Fort Thomas schools is invalu-
able.

To develop the highest type of young
womanhood is the goal of the Girl Reserves.
Their song, "Follow the Gleam," and their
motto, "To face life squarely," show clearly
the ideals for which each girl strives. With
Marilyn Haas as president and Mrs. Kellogg
and Mrs. Seiter as sponsors, this club of high
purpose completed as its worthy project the
redecorating of the Girl Reserve Lounge
and closed another successful year with its
impressive traditional recognition service.

Just as the football team has made stout-
hearted men of our boys, so the home eco-
nomics department has founded a club to make
efficient homemakers of our little women. After
all, girls, that is what we expect to be, isn't it?
The Future Homemakers of America, a national
organization, has completed its first year at
Highlands—and indeed a very profitable year,
with Miss Louetta Greeno as sponsor and
Gladys Rebeck as president.
The day of the call-of-the-roll, dry-talk-on-
education, serve-a-cookie-and-weak-punch meet-
ing seems to have disappeared forever. By
planning its program for the entire year, the
club was able to meet state and national quali-
fications. Its main purposes are to promote a
growing appreciation for homemaking and to
plan entertaining programs for the student
body.
To this newest of our organizations we wish
the best of luck as it moves forward toward
new horizons.

Over these Kentucky hills the Red Man once
roamed, and here and there we can still find
arrow-heads of flint, which arouse thoughts of
those far-off days and of the primitive race that
shaped these weapons. Many of us are eager
to emulate their feats of skill with bow and
arrow. Since we are too civilized (or too afraid
of the law) to take our fellows or our dogs for
targets, we join the Archery Club, buy our
targets, instead of choosing them at will, and
proceed to practice the ancient sport of Robin
Hood and William Tell.
In our own school sphere, that age old
problem, "Who is the better, the boy or the
girl?", is determined in the club’s boy-girl
archery meets. Although that problem has not
as yet been solved, there have been heated bat-
tles, with excellent marksmanship displayed on
both sides. Then in order to match our skill
with that of archers in other schools, "mail"
meets are held. By means of Uncle Sam's postal
system, Highlands enters into contests with
Covington, Western Hills, and Norwood. Each
team sends its scores to the other competing
schools, the sponsors tabulate the scores, and
the winning team is announced.
Clubs spring up, flourish, and die, sometimes
to be revived and sometimes not, but High-
lands' Archery Club thrives and grows more
popular as the years go by.

Another issue of the Hilltopper goes to press,
Pat writes "thirty" on the last article, the staff
breathes a sigh of relief, Mrs. Burt relaxes for
another week, and Ben, our patient printer,
takes another Bromo. These scenes have been
reenacted twenty times during the past year,
once for each of the steadily improving issues
of Highlands' school paper.
A class in journalism was inaugurated this
year and proved to be an invaluable aid in
improving the paper. "Yellow Journalism" was
avoided by students' learning the essentials of
good feature, sports, and news writing. Mrs.
Mary F. Burt, a newcomer at Highlands, taught
the class. Under her direction the motto, "At
least one improvement in every issue," was
adopted.
An assembly was presented in late November
in honor of the Hilltopper's tenth anniversary.
Our paper has really grown up! Dr. Frank
Byers, assistant professor of English at the Uni-
versity of Cincinnati, and Mr. R. E. Bridges ad-
dressed the entire student body.
Another of the year's memorable events was
the press conference at Lexington. At this
conference the paper was criticized and its
outstanding and unusual features noted.
Next year's staff was chosen at the annual
press banquet. The editors of both publications
addressed the group. Sponsors presented merit
awards to those who had done outstanding work
during the year, and everyone extended hearty
good wishes to the new staff for success in
1947-48.

With the last page of copy in and the 1947
annual in the hands of the printer, the staff
can smile and return to the carefree days of
long ago. No more sessions with T-squares,
snapshots, and dummies. No more frantic let-
ters to Mr. Benson. No more rushing and
hurrying to get everything shipshape.
But there were good times, too — times when
everything went smoothly, times when Scotty
was gay and tea was bubbling away in the
kettle. We laughed, worked, argued — and
loved every minute of it.
Harriet cracked the whip and forth came
literary masterpieces; Ben worried us into pro-
ducing a dozen different sketches, but the final
product was worth the grind; Andee counted
the pennies; while Nornie, with nary a qualm,
turned the camera on anything and everything.
In the end, out of the confusion, the 1947
HIGHLANDER was produced. May this thirty-
first yearbook be the best in the annals of
H. H. S.
The Hilltopper is just one big happy family.

Cameras clicked, young photographers rushed
to the dark room, and gay little, cute little,
happy little pictures were hurried to the annual
staff. With Norma Stegeman, the president,
directing the activities of these budding pho-
tographers, and Mr. Charles Allphin, as their
sponsor, the club more than did its share to
make the bi-weekly issues of the Hilltopper
attractive and to give to the pages of this
HIGHLANDER "snaps" that will in the future
recall to our minds many pleasant memories
of the time "when we went to Highlands High."

The eighteenth annual Health and Physi-
cal Education Program of the Fort Thomas
Public Schools was presented May 28,
1946, at eight o'clock. This is the one oc-
casion of the year which brings together
all the school children of our city. The
various groups presented a display of the
year's regular activities to show that our
Fort Thomas students are fitting them-
selves into the new world pattern. The
theme was "Fitness for the American Way
of Life."
Following the parade of flags by the
tenth grade girls, the King and Queen of
Health, Louis Moore and Jane Lee Knae-
bel, and their attendants entered in sol-
emn procession. The trumpeters repre-
sented Woodfill School, while the crown
bearers were from Johnson School and
the train bearers from Moyer School. The
other attendants were eleventh and
twelfth grade girls.
Blue ribbon attendants.
Their majesties clear the flower hoops.
Learning of different types of folk games
from the Old World is one means of developing
fitness for the American way of living and also
of fostering friendliness and neighborliness to-
ward other countries of the world. Some of
the games and dances were "Ribbon Dance,"
Mazoo, ' "How Do You Do My Partner,"
"Swinging," and "The Oxen Dance." The junior
and senior high boys presented tumbling and
apparatus activities, as evidence of the best
type of exercise for stamina and initiative.
To complete the program, the eighth and
ninth grade girls did the traditional "Maypole
Dance." Requiring skill, endurance, and perfect
team work, it emphasized the spirit of the oc-
casion. The presentation of the coveted Blue
Ribbon awards brought to a close another beau-
tiful Health and Play Festival — Highlands tra-
ditional May Day.
