Activities. What did they mean? What was their purpose? As we see it, they were the fun part of high school. They kept us out of a rut. They were excitement and anticipation. All Foothill students looked forward to the day they, like the seniors could dress up in togas and have a slave for the day. Excitement grew as the homecoming dance approached and people paired off into couples. The hope that the right person, or at least a person would ask one to the dance, gave a solid reason to attend school if not to learn, then at least to give so- meone the chance to get asked to the dance. Activities also gave way to fear. The fear to ask the person to the dance. The fear of reject- tion was also apparent. We also saw activities at the highlights of our four long years in high school. The day we dress- ed up in the most outrageous costume we could possibly think of for the recognition day of our particular class stuck in our memories as the way high school was. Activities consisted not only of dances and dress-up days, but also of class com- petitions, and general fun! As we see it, activities were the fun, spunk, and best of high school. They brought us through the drab and dreary everyday routine of school, and added new mean- ing to it, excitement! iZ Act ivities Theme Page

How do we see our Academia? Do we see it as the best thing in one ' s life? Academics are only as hard or boring as we see it. Academics is what one thinks about when one thinks of high school. But what type of Academics frightened most students? To some the thought that they would have to take two years or more of science was very frightening. The worry of finding two easy science classes was bothersome enough, not to mention taking the class itself. Or how about finding two math classes that would meet college entrance re- quirements. Would Algebra I meet all the re- quirements or did you have to take Geometry. But what struck fear into the heart of every Foothill High student was four years of English. Yes all Foothill students must take four years of English and pass them all. What did you do to Right: Ann Schwab desperately tries to figure out what Mr. Korich is talking about.

First you had to consult your best and closest friends as to which teacher was the easiest in each English class. Then you had to find a way to get into this class when there were five hundred students with the same idea that you had. Once you got in, you found out that your best friend was not going to be taking this class because that teacher was the hardest teacher in this school to date. Now will you be able to get out of this class? Transfer was out of the question, because either your schedule couldn ' t take the move, or the other teacher ' s class was already closed. What a life to lead, trying to survive Academics. Academics is something that most students fear in the beginning, but everyone seems to sur- vive it. Academics Diuision Page
