TEACHER ACTIVITIE A teacher harvesting on his summer vacation? W. K. Mackey, shop teacher, operated a combine as part of his job following a harvesting team. This was only one of the varied activities of the Hillcrest faculty during the past summer. Working in department stores and filling stations, in our city parks as recreational supervisors and for a wholesale grocery company kept several Hillcrest teachers occupied. Woodrow Keahey, math teacher, and Stoney Cayce, coach, were kept busy in the armed forces. Mr. Keahey visited Florida via a naval cruise. Wally Gursch, history teacher, won a gold watch for superior salesmanship while working for an insurance company. Quieter pursuits occupied J. C. Mitchell and other faculty members, who worked in their gardens. Teachers who went abroad during the summer were Mrs. Claire Cunningham, who vacationed in Mexico, and Mrs. Katherine Taylor and Miss Judy Kinney, who visited Europe.
