The Utopian club is a community service club affiliated with the Cherry Creek Valley Optimists. They are truly a distinctive group of people at Smoky Hill. The Utopians not only serve the community but Smoky Hill as well. The Utopian Club was responsible for the fantastic decorations at the Homecoming dance. They put forth a great deal of time and effort to perfect the scenery and perfect it was. The Utopian Club has served the community in many ways. During the holidays they made a visit to the Cherry Creek Nursing Home to bring the elderly people flowers for Thanksgiving. At Christ- mas they held a party for a large group of underprivileged children. They brought Santa Claus along to present each child with a gift. They then proceeded to go to Denver General Hospital to sing Christmas Carols. The Utopian Club is basically comprised of a group of giving people who demonstrate their care by giving of themselves. They not only get together to make the holiday season a happy one for many, but they get together the entire year just to have fun.

il1BSS UI' DIHHSUI' Smoky Hill students are learning more about business through DECA: Distributive Education Clubs of America. DECA students get involved in many fund raisers such as spook insurance, dances, selling Christmas and ornament sales. The students also participate in many activities such as ice skating, mystery trips, skiing, and competitions. The class of Distributive Education helps students prepare for competitions. Students must compete in areas of Sales, Product Knowledge, Math and Consumer Relations. The qualifiers take a trip to the Broadmoor for three days to compete in state competitions. In these three days, they participate in seminars, competi- tions, and many entertainment-type activities. DECA has also helped out the radio club this year by lending them part of the money for the equipment needed to start the station. DECA has helped many students find out how the business world works and how it can work for them. DECA Front row: Jeff Sherman, Brian Lubell.
