Curriculum Expansion Broadens Scope of Student Explorations THUMP . . . WHISH! Donald Gore, Keith Andrews, and Robert Holland use air-driven staple guns to complete their upholstery class projects at Catawba Valley Technical Institute. 8 Assorted courses introduced an expanded medium through which Hickory High's populace pre- pared for future vocations. Initi- ated this year, upholstery classes at Catawba Valley Technical In- stitute versed students in a prac- tical skill and produced future employees for Hickory's furni- ture industry. The installation of IBM equipment prefaced quicker, more eilicient school records as well as broadened ca- reer possibilities in data process- ing. A humanities course, in ad- dition to General Math II, em- bodied other curriculum exten- sions. Acknowledging the need for an enlarged and more versa- tile campus, the Hickory School Board continued the planning of a new high school. Thus academ- ic awareness paced educational advancement at Hickory High.

BUSY Candy Striper Cynthia Perry loads lunch trays at Catawba Memorial Hospital. Various City, School Sponsored Activities Balance Hickory Highs Academic Agenda Diversified activities, encom- passing the civic, religious, and cultural facets of Hickory, fuse to promote growth of future leaders in an All-America City. As citizens of Hickory, students strive to become recognized in the community by joining clubs which place them in contact with the public. Many of these organ- izations are branches of civic clubs within the city, such as Junior Civitan, Junior Jaycees, Sub-Juniors, and DeMolay. Utilizing their time and talent, 10 students contribute to area church work. Candy Stripers, Sal- vation Army workers, and other service groups find H.H.S. per- sonne among their ranks. Other students take advantage of the cultural opportunities in Hickory, including the ballet company, community theater, symphony or- chestra, and museum of art. These activities, coupled with a profusion of clubs at H.H.S., pro- vide an almost limitless variety of ways for students to become involved in both city and school.
