Home Arts Plus Enrichment CHILDREN LE~K \"'HAT THEY l\\VE HOME ECONOMICS FACULTY: Moree Nelson, Ann Griffiths, Karma Bateman, Eunice Pixton. The Home Economics department, headed by Mrs. Pixton, offered many interesting courses this year. In addition, Enrichment periods were taught to provide extra opportunities for students not enrolled in a home economics class or those who desired to do something extra. Projects such as decorating cakes and sewing boxers and Frostline kits proved very successful. Regu- lar class offerings were clothing, tailoring, clothing ser- vices, foods, senior survival, home living, exploring childhood, and home and interior design. 47

Using scalpels and microscope slides, health students had a new experience this year in dental hygiene. Other subjects studied in depth were bone structure, mental health, body systems, first aid, and ecology. The atmosphere of these co-edu- cational classes was open and con- ducive to learning more about man and his environment. Exploring the Body Through Health 48

Focus West A Family Group Focus West was an open classroom that taught students on an affective level. This gave the student the option of staying in school when he otherwise might have dropped out. Each class was three hours long and involved self-discovery through less formal methods of teaching. The teachers created an environ- ment in which the students sat in groups and expressed honest feel- ings to others members of the fam- ily group, giving them a measure of success at Hillcrest.

PE Department Organizes New Co- Ed Classes Dance students work at improving their creativity. With the passing of Title Nine, the PE department found itself organizing a new program. Although beset by problems from the start, co-ed gym classes were among the curriculum at Hillcrest. The students were filled with doubts at first, but soon they began to enjoy themselves. A variety of sports were taught to the students. Volleyball, field hockey, and tennis were only a few. Co-ed classes soon became a success. 1st row: Raynor Pearce, Don Gust, Dorothy Schmidt, Arthur Hughes, Jeanne Johnson. 2nd row: Jim Jimas, Jerry Fiat, Jeanne Crickmore, Nancy larsen, Steve Margetts, Robert Burns, Bob Kawa, Dennis Hansen, lee Nichols. 3rd row: Mike Flook, Dan Cowan, Gary Yamashiro, Jerry Simonson. 51

Under the direction of JoAnn Brady and Marvel Smith, this year's Resource Center helped many stu- dents. The class, which is taught six periods a day, provided assistance in almost any area. The Resource Center's goal is to help each stu- dent become successful. Small classes, where teachers and students con work on a one to one basis, ore one of the many advantages of Resource. 52

Driver's Education Prepares the Student for Safe Highway Driving Driver's Education is one of the more practical and popular classes available for students.

Teaching experience gained by elementary tutors enabled them to realize teachers' points-of-views.

Hillcrest's diverse Business Department offers many career opportunities. From book- keeping and vocational marketing, to office machines ond type, the experience gained through these courses is a valuable asset to the future business leaders. Approximately 50 to 60 per cent of the stu- dents go on to fields in the business world, according to a one-year follow-up report pre- pared for the department by Mrs. Gillam, counselor. \"There are excellent openings in all facets of business, just waiting for experi- enced young people,\" remarked Maurice McKay, Department Head.

With such classes as Beginning and Advanced Crafts, Pottery, Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Commercial Art and Production Art, students found a wide variety of subjects to interest them.

To keep up with the surge of technology, the seven faculty members in the Industrial Arts department offered a broad-range program including auto, draft- ing, electronics, engine repair, graphics, metals, and woodwork. Each area had a first-year program wh ich exposed students to tools, materials, job opportunities, and the processes for that skill. The second-year pro- gram was actually a pre-employment or placement pro- gram to help develop skill and get jobs for Huskies. Stu- dents who successfully completed this program earned college credit in some areas. Girls have always been welcomed in this male-domi- nated field . Even the most fragile girls fired engines, made furn iture, or drew house plans.











Boys' and Girls' State Kellie Schmidt Boys ' and Girls' State, sponsored by the American Legion Auxil- Kathryn Lamoreau iary, is a program designed to teach interested students about the Kathy Thornton United States Government. The students were sent to live at a col- Shauna Bolliger lege for a week . The boys went to Utah State University, and the girls went to Southern Utah State College at Cedar City. During the week the students held elections and set up their own state govern- ments. Each student had the opportunity to run for state positions including governor. Whether or not they were elected, all of the students had fun and wished that they could do it again . In addition to learning about the Government, the students made many new friends and learned much about the world around them. 65

Hillcrest had wins over Olympus, Highland, Cot- tonwood, Judge, Skyline and oth- ers. As season play began and the clock ticked away the final seconds of the first game, the Huskies found themselves sitting on a narrow lead of three points against Kearns. The first blemish in Hillcrests now 12 and 0 record came when the two K- 9's in the region tangled. Due to a bad first half the Provo Bulldogs came out on top with apparent ease 88 to 60.
