RUSSIAN CLUB The aim of Hillcrest ' s Russian Club is to learn something about the cultures of not only Russia but also other Slavic Peoples. Although the club has not been in exist- ence long, we have had two Russian movies - Cranes Are Flying and SadkO . We have also had travel films and films about Russian education. These were won- derful films and were enjoyed by all. We have had debates on Communism vs. Democracy and usually end up with the slogan We ' d rather be dead than red . Russian Back Row, 1. to r.

CURLING CLUB Back Row, 1. to r. R. Shaver, S. Skinner, Bottom 1. to r. S. Kearns, S. Nicholson, N. Munson Curling at Hillcrest is becoming more popular as this year the Curling Club mem- bership almost doubles. All members especially enjoyed the all day bonspeil that was held. Our bonspeil team put up good shows as the boys lost in the final game of the Schoolboy Bonspeil and the girls who were defending their city championship lost in the final game. FOLK DANCE Top Row 1. to r. D. Showalter, T. Swan, I. Wade, C. Weagant, D. Simpson, T. Mercer, Bottom Row, D. Herr, K. Evans, A. Lauber, L. Swan, K. Toth, J. Shroeder, L. Squire, V. Pulkinnin, Missing: R. Frezan, J. Jury FOLK DANCING CLUB For the concert this year, the folk dancing club staged a gypsy scene under the direction of Mr. Davey. Choreography was arranged by Kathy Toth. ART CLUB Top Row 1. to r. I . Fox, M. Bristow, B. Fox, Bottom Row, N. Unal, J. Schroeder, P. Myhill, S. Fell, R. Mikkanen, C. Millard The impossible we do immediately; miracles take a little longer. The Art Club ' s activities consisted of prop and Set Designs for The Tempest ,, Showtime 65 ' and The Man Who Came To Dinner . The lesser activities consisted of decorations, displays and advertising for various clubs including the Dauphin Players. The Concert was the greatest accomplishment. There were many headaches and sore backs. Sets were forever being changed. All the sets were mobile and they were: The N4oody Gypsy Scene, dark greens and blues with a real gypsy wagon. The Battlehymn Scene, New York Scene, of towering sky scrapers, a Tropical Island scene complete with palms and an exotic mountain, and of course the famous Dolly Scene . For The Man Who Came to Dinner the problems were numerous. The scene called for a conventional living room and dining room of the 1930 ' s. This was the first Box Set, (Completely Enclosed). Few people realize the ingenuity and cleverness that is required on each members ' part when doing stage work. Make a cannon, construct an oal bannister, decorate a window, create illusion after illusion and do it NOW and do it quickly . We are proud of the fact that during the history of the Art Club we have only scrapped two sets and started over. Almost everone in the club will agree that this kind of creative work brings results that more than justify the hard, long hours of labour that go into our extra-curricular activity.
