PRESENTED BY THE SENIOR CLASS
OF
HIGHLANDS HIGH SCHOOL
HIGHLANDS, NORTH CAROLINA
7o re wore/
With this yearbook, we, the Sunset Staff of
1963, wish for you many happy memories as
you scan each page. Herein are reminders of
moments spent with fellow classmates and teach-
ers. We hope that this book may stand as a rec-
ord of our accomplishments and will in later
years serve as a means of making nostalgic me-
mories a reality once more. Tightly interwoven
in these pages are all our thoughts and remem-
brances of this school.
Here upon the Highlands plateau mid its flora grand, stands
the noble Highlands High School, fairest in the land.
Here we learn to live together, study, work, and play; and
the glory of our high school, we shall sing for aye.
Here the faults of all our brother, write we on the sand; but
on plaques of loving memory all their virtues stand.
May her name be ever honored, through all time and space.
May her noble hall of learning, teach men truth and grace.
Highlands High, our Alma Mater, loud her praises tell, we
are loyal sons and daughters, and we love thee well.

We wish to show our sincere appreciation to those whose kind understanding, guid-
ance, and untiring efforts in our behalf, have endeared them to us in a very special
way. We, the Senior Class of 1963, do so proudly and gratefully dedicate our Sunset
to the faculty of Highlands High School, who have always so cheerfully and willingly
gone "over and beyond the line of duty" in trying to assist us with our school work,
and with our other problems.
