How to set a Master-Detail value with APEX

I have an object call "Applicant" with a field called "high_school__c"*(Master).  high_school_data__c has a master detail relationships with another object called "high_school_data__c"(detail).  In APEX, how would can I create a new instance of "Applicant" and also create it's "high_school_data__c" details.

Example:
Applicant a = new Applicant();
a.high_school__r.Name__c = "East High School".

I've tried doing something like this but it doesn't seem to work.  Could someone please assist me?

1. Create Applicant Record
2. Crate Detail Record (Hight School Data). Set relation ship Field to Applicant Id
3. Insert Apllicant Then insert High School Data
Thanks

Example: 
//Try this
Applicant app = new Applicant ();
app.name ='Test Applicant';
insert app;
hight_school_data__c A = new hight_school_data__c ();
A.hight_school__c=app.id;
insert A;

Thanks

It is not clear wich object is master and which is detail. If Applicant is master use below example

Applicant__c a = new Applicant__c();
insert a;

high_school__c school = new high_school__c();
school.Applicant__c = a.Id;
insert school;

Please make sure to insert record you need to populate all required fields. Also check the right relationship name.
