LHHS Football has had an incredible record of success. Hoowah!

As you know our hosting company, Wild Apricot, held a contest at Facebook recently to name their newly designed mascot. I decided to enter this contest and test just how lively our community would be—and we WON! Winning the Grand Prize speaks volumes.

How many Highlanders actually participated is unknown, but there was a lot more discussion on the voting page where Fuzzy was featured. I was subsequently informed that a land slide victory was secured during the last 2 days of voting.

LHHSAA hopes to hold a similar contest in 2010 to encourage more Highlander fun and interest in The Argyll. We hope you will find this a positive experience.

Thanks to all of you who supported Fuzzy in the spirit of fun which was intended. In case you are curious, the Grand Prize is a Flip Video camera which will be put to good use at Highlander events. If it ships in time, it will be used at the Sing-Along with Mr. D., Saturday, December 19 @ 7pm.

In Highlander camaraderie,
Priscilla Gary Christian '69
LHHSAA Webmaster

PS: We also won "bragging rights!"

While we are steadily growing, the passing of Coach Tex Wallis has driven increased numbers of Highlanders to our site. Even in his death Coach Wallis is a blessing to LHHSAA. Thanks Coach!

We sadly report that Coach Tex Wallis passed away, Tuesday, October 27, 2009.

Memorial details:
2:00 PM Saturday, November 7, 2009

We recognize the Scottish tradition of The Flowers of the Forest, our departed loved ones. The legend comes from the poems telling of the grief of Scottish people after the Battle of Flodden Fields in 1513, in which many brave Scotsmen (the flowers of the forest) fell.

We are sad to report the passing of Mrs. Grace De Rubeis, on Friday afternoon, January 9, 2009.

Always known for being a lady, Mrs. De Rubeis, was the first Home Economics teacher at LHHS working with Walter Pray, Irene Jones, and Don Krebsbach to name only a few.

She is noted for establishing a nursery school with her Child Development class which served future LHHS alumni.
