You're Not GeHing Older,· You're GeHing BeHer! \"To be seventy years YOUNG is sometimes far more cheerful and hopefu I than to be seventeen years OLD!\" Local senior citizens, just full of life and bubbling with enthusiasm, proved this to the students of Hillcrest on Oct. 26 when they were invited to spend the afternoon in our high school. Their smiles filled the halls and lunchroom as they went from class to class observing our mod- ern school system. The Senior Cit- izens Murray Harmonic Band pro- vided music and entertainment in the cafeteria during both lunches for the students. They showed us how to act for someday it wi II be our turn to return to a high school for a 70 + Day. 155

The elf pauses, wa1t1ng to zap someone. Children's Theafre The giggles and laughter rang out through the Valley. The once rest- less children were now engrossed in the play, \" A Christmas Spirit Elf.\" The Children ' s Theater succeeded in holding the attention of hundreds of children . Although the performers of Children's Theater made it look easy, they worked very hard. Advised by Pam Pelton, Dance Club pulled together with Drama Club to touch hundreds of young lives with the Christmas spirit of giving . The cast worked together to enterta in the chll · dren .

Hansel and Gretel came to l1fe once aga1n on the Hillcrest stage. Th1s two- year veteran production maintains the tradition of high quality and success. Engelbert Humperdinck's fa1ry tale opera retells the age-old story of two children who wander into the woods and come upon a g~ngerbread house which they proceeded to n1bble. The w1tch appears and captures them. The hag builds a fire and proceeded to fat- ten Hansel. Clever little Gretel pre- tends she cannot make the stove work. When the witch pauses to exam- ine, the little girl gives her a shove and closes the door of the oven. After the witch is burned, many children come to life again. Supported by the Utah Youth Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Robert Lentz, Konn Cooper (Hansel) and Penny Walker (Gretel) led the cast in another f1ne production. Spec1al effects were added to the excellent choreography of Pam Pelton when evening fog came drifting out of the wings to engulf Hansel, Gretel, and the Angels. Over- all, the entire production reflected the hard work and dedication of Pouwel Vuyk, Leo Dean, d1rectors, and the entire cast.

Hillcrest's production of Our Town was a true success. At each of the two night perform- ances, members of the audi- ence went home realizing their own individual worth and also how little they appreciate the lit- tle things in life. Done virtually without scenery, the play requires the use of pantomime by the actors and imagination by the audience. Our Town was performed in the Little Theatre where audience involvement was initiated. The name of our town is Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, a typical, ordinary town with typical, ordinary peo- ple, adding universality to the plot. The entire play revolves around the theme that people never appreciate the moments of living. As quoted from the play: \"Do people ever realize life while they live it every, every moment? Saints and poets, maybe, they do some . . .'' It WAS a lovely wedding! The th1rd act graveyard scene Illustrates the \" 1magmat1ve\" use of scenery. Mr. Webb (R1ck Pav1ch) gives the social and economic report. 16/

The Senior Hop ... did it sound like a club for old Easter Rabbits? Quite the contrary! It was the class dance of the Seniors of '78. Jaime Redman and Bob Pena, Jodee Burkinshaw and Mike Pitts, Lory DeJong and Barlow Bradford presided. The floor was hopping mad when the dance came to an end. Although the dance ended, the Senior Spirit didn't. The Seniors really knew how to get things hopping. 168

9weethearts' The Sophomore Sweethearts Ball was quite a success. The under- classmen really showed their spirit on February the 11th. On the night of the ball the colors mainly consisted of red and white, but the tenth graders showed the true colors of green and white soon after. On the special night of hearts anQ flowers, not many people realized the work that was included in preparation of the dance. A committee of students which consists of the sophomore members of the House of Representatives, the Sophomore Cheerleaders and also the Offi- cers worked for months to pull the night together. The presiding roy- alty was: Queen Terri Rufi, First attendant Anita Gonzales and Sec- ond attendant Shemayne Steadman. The group transformed a dull, blah room into a romantic lair for Sweethearts' couples. The group, Holiday, brought the roof down. Cupid certainly got in his quota of hearts, arrows, and love potions that night.

Turkey Courl Turkey Court, the Thanksgiving Kerry Steele seems to be having a difficult time Kreg Jeppson ts unexpectedly smashed wtth a assembly with a gobble to it, wtth her \" car\" in the gotng·to-dinner relay. pte . provided comic relief for the student body. Judge Crust (Coach Gust) was presiding, with Student Body President, Kreg Jeppson as the \"persecu- tion\" (prosecution). The accused were brought before the judge and charged with everything from not knowing the school song, to being short, to contempt of court (talking during the assembly). Their sentences ranged from having a whipped cream mountain built on their faces, to being dunked in the dunking machine that was located backstage in the \"Prison\" area. The assem- bly climaxed with the dunking of the administration: Mr. Schick, Mr. Garrison, and Mrs. Kastelic. Judge Crust and Kreg Jeppson, along with numerous other unidentified individuals were also carried to their watery fate. Where else could one find a higher degree of \"justice\" than here ... Turkey Court. \" All Rtse \" while the Honorable Judge Crust (Coach Gust) makes his entry. 172

Jack Lythgoe, the hypnotist, was a real \" knock-out. \" Hypnotist Valerie Vincent straightens Mr. Lythgoe's tie. \"You are getting sleepy, s-1-e-e- p-y! Yes, and many individuals did just that at the hypnotist assem- bly this year. Jack Lythgoe, the hypnotist, put many members of the student body under his spell on stage and off as he demonstrated his skill in con- centration. His subjects per- formed various stunts: arms that wouldn't bend, and eyes that wouldn't open. Valerie Vin- cent was in hysterics over a crooked tie, while Sheri Kemp found her hand permanently attached to the curtain. His fas- cinating show received a stand- ing ovation from the student body ... well from almost every member of the student body. A certain irate Randy Cressall had been pre-program- med to stand up and yell \"Shut- up\" each time Mr. Lythgoe said, \"Thank you.\" Mr. Lythgoe explains the art of hypnotism. Jon Thohn found, much to h1s own surpnse, that his legs JUSt wouldn 't bend. 173

A Grand \"Opera\"- Tunify. The old fool1s teased by his w1fe. Many Hillcrest students had their first taste of artistic entertainment when the Utah Opera Company presented A GRAND \"OPERA\"- TUNITY. Opera is a particular kind or style of musical theatre. It is a theatrical play or story set to music in such a way that the music is a vital ele- ment of the total theatrical experience, and not merely added to the background. The musical and dramatic elements work together to create a total art form, and neither element can properly exist with- out the other. The company presented scenes from I Pagliacci, Carmen, The Bar- t ered Bride and several others . The program was indeed very informative but yet so entertaining that by the end, the performers had the entire audience clapping and singing to the catchy tune of the \"Champagne Song .\" (\"Of all the music I can sing, he can sing, you can sing, of the music we can sing the opera is King!\") Th 1s Span1sh ··senonta •• charmed many a man . Two characters from The Bartered Bride show the unique costuming and characterization of opera . 174

Days Hillcrest Huskies and Brighton Ben- gals. fought like cats and dogs as they participated in eating contests, bas- ketball games and other activities. In an attempt to channel school nvalry away from parking lot fights, Hillcrest and Brighton \" fought it out\" on the basketball court, wrestling mat McDonald ' s, and Village Inn . At the Village Inn Pancake eating con - test, Joe Hagberg and Kreg Jeppson tied for first place by eating 15% pan - cakes! Not to be outdone, Robert Bis- choff took first at the Big Mac contest and received the Big Macs free, plus $25 .00. Although the broom hockey turned into a football game in the main hall, there were no completions. That is, there were no complaints until the taped up towel that was being used as the football fell apart! As the finale, a car caravan left Hill - crest and made its way to Brighton for the Battle of the Jug. Proving their Hillcrest spirit, students showed up en masse . It was a great week, and as usual, Hill- crest came out on top! Blea cher Babes boost H1llcrest spmt. 180

After winning their first two games aga1nst Jordon and Kearns, the Huskies found themselves in the champ1onsh1p game. Despite a superb effort, the Husk1es were defeated and placed 2nd 1n the tour- ney. Laurie Burkinshaw and Marcia Page were both named to the all-star team. The Husk1es tra- velled to the State Tournament where they once again got the chance to prove their skill at playing basketball. 183

The team had such a great sea- son, that they and the spirit of Hillcrest observers, went to the State Tournament.

Some of the members of the Cross Country team aIso traveled to Albuquerque, New Mexico by bus to represent both the school and the state in a meet against several other states.
