Principals Challenge Students His heart and interests are with Hillcrest wher- ever he goes. Mr. Hoyt Shumate, principal, is truly an ambassador for Hillcrest whether he is sitting on the bleachers of a crowded gymna- sium, attending a banquet of one of the many clubs and organizations, working for the inter- ests of the students, or just walking through the halls greeting faculty and students with his friendly smile. Mr. John J. Sweeney, assistant principal, is a man with plenty of get up and go and a talent for accomplishing many activities. These, coupled with his sparkling Irish sense of humor, make him indispensable as administrator and friend. I2 HOYT SHUMATE , ,fir ,IC . ' JOHN J. SWEENEY Assistant Principal rirrlz' al L I

To help build a better tomorrow at Hillcrest is a group of architects-the faculty. Using the basic skills as architectural tools, the faculty uses knowledge in all phases of academic study to bring out in detail the best abilities of the students. To mold future citizens to carry on the re- sponsibilities uf their city, many of the teachers helped as advisers on the Hi-Y Model City Government boards. By showing wise guidance, participating in school activities, and teaching ideals of sports- manship the faculty truly sculptures the char- acter of Hillcrest.
