"In The Swim For The Summer: IT's THAT TIME of year agian. Hot blue skies with just the right number of fluffy white clouds wafting over, trees bushy and greem, and a cool, inviting pool — midwinter's daydream come true. Enjoying the sun and fun are lifeguard Barbara Lynn Gree and a number of howling, splashing youngsters in Highland Park Pool." June 27, 1967.

"No Sooner Filled Than Used: THE NEW $137,000 junior swimming pool in Hihgland Park opened yesterday and these boys and girls wasted no time taking advantage of the South Toledo installation. Dedication will be tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. The pool was fnanced by the municpal payroll-income tax, and completion was delayed three weeks by a strike against building supply firms. The lifeguard is Joan Wadsworth." July 26, 1951

TEAMWORK: These youngsters take time out from swimming and pitch in to get a merry-g-round whirling on the playground at Highland Park. With the hot and humid weather of late, the children no doubt were back in the pool before long, getting rid of the body heat and perspiration produced by their exertions." July 27, 1979
