History of the Highland Park Community Club (1945 - 1995)

In 1995 Mike Staresinic & Clarke Thomas wrote a history of the Highland Park Community Club documenting the period between the beginning of the club in 1945. The document was written with the help of Knox Motheral, Judi Leract, Mrs. James P. Ifft Jr, Carol Thompson, Jerome C. Shaub, Clarke Thomas, Jean Shafer, Jeanne and Bill Mischler, Barbara Howe, Rochelle Sufrin, Norma Lipscomb, Dr. Joe Rogers Friday, Franklin B. Allison, Peter Parkin, and written records. Clarke provided an addendum with additional points of information through the year 1996. Much work remains to be done to flesh out the history of the Highland Park Community Club. Oral history is a great way to find insight into the lives of the early members and life in the community.
