Vince "Vinny" Rusinak
Bill Coffeen mentioned that Bonnie was on the Hialeah Hiways (yearbook) staff. Without that yearbook, our last year at Hialeah High School would be as memorable to us as our first year on this earth…zip, zero, nada, zilch! However, as we turn the pages of that yearbook, tidal waves of memories come back reminding us of the good, the bad and the ugly. After all of the years since we left Hialeah High School, I would submit that we all probably remember all the good...and not so much of what we might think of as the bad and ugly.
I went into our yearbook and found the names of our classmates that made our yearbook happen:
Steve Bensemen
X Pat Brown
Toni Brown-Chairman (Deceased)
X Joe Dexter
X Marcia Farr
Sonja Gunderson (Deceased)
Dottie Hughes (Deceased)

X Linda Miller
Barbara Nickoloff
Sue Parsons
X Bonnie Porth
X Sharon Shapland
X Frank Tricoli
X Mike Westbrook
Bob Woehr
I put an “X” to the left of those who worked on the yearbook and have joined our website. So, those of you that have joined our website, please let us know how in the world you were able to put together a book that was printed before we graduated…so we had the time to get fellow classmates to sign our yearbooks and say nice things about us…well most of the comments were nice! How did you get all of the activities and photos connected to each name in the Index without EXCEL or WORD? How did you connect the legal name of Alfonso K. Smith to the person we all knew as Bubba Smith? How did you sell those yearbooks that would cost $150 today for $5? Who took the photos that are included in the yearbook besides Vince Carassa? Was there a yearbook class where you got class credits, or was it a club? However you did it, YOUR CLASSMATES THANK YOU!
