Hobbies help students and facult achieve their goals PEOPLE ALWAYS NEED A BREAK and so they turn to their favorite pastimes. Collections seem to be a favorite hobby for lots of students and faculty at HHS. For instance, junior Karen McAfee and sophomore Julie Pietsch love to collect dolls and horses. Karen collects Madam Alexander dolls. She has been collecting them since she was six. She has 25 out of the over 100 varieties that are available. Julie has over 100 varieties of model horses that she's collected since the second grade. But students aren't the only ones that have interesting pastimes, teachers have interesting hobbies as well. Mrs. Gloria Cortez collects the Senior Susan tSuSuJ Seaman has been taking gymnastics since she was four. She's competed with Mary Lou Ftetton and a lot of other people on the 1984 Olympic Team. Here she is doing an aerial split. V Demitasse Cup Series. She has been collecting the cups for 3 years. She looks for interesting and one of a kind designs because she doesn't want any two with the same design. She started the collection for her daughter whom she hopes will carry on the collection when she is older. Also, Mrs. Sarah Busby makes stained glass window ornaments in her spare time. She's been working on them for seven years and every once in a while sells some to her family and close friends. So with all the different hobbies and pastimes, it proves that HHS students and faculty are Decidedly Different. Jeff Grandberry and Marc Lubin spent many hours last summer restoring Jeff's 280zx. They completely rebuilt the car by doing body work, painting it, redoing the interior and suspension and engine. They also restored Clark Spencer's Stepside truck and Jeff's Camaros. V Ballet is one of the hardest forms of dancing but junior Paige Brooks makes it look so easy. She has been taking lessons for 12 years. She comments, lt's a lot of hard work but it pays off because we have a recital every spring to show off our new steps. P 1 HOBBIES , t

Students speak out on world issues I DO NOT UNDERSTAND why the United States has to help Africa, replied a student new to Hillcrest. Because of the many different lifestyles the students and faculty were polled around school on the new changes in DISD and about world tragedies Staff members polled 45 students to get an idea what students in the 1985-86 school year thought about current questions. There were three main questions asked. The use of alcohol at parties brought the most heated responses while veteran teachers did not believe they should not take the competency test The most varied responses came from the new no-pass, no play rule Many of the students felt that thi rule was not fair. Others felt that was a good idea, heated response came from both sides of the issue Even though the Panther staff feel that this year is one of the best in re cent years Do you thmk teachers should take a competency exam?
