77Zw6 owN A s AVE FOR DAY' Wwe 'Slave U Day Owning a slave for a day was a privilege many of the Fountain Lake students were able to experience. The junior class had both boys! girls and some teachers vol- unteer to be sold as slaves. Tammy Vaughn, Kevin Wylie, and Josephina Qloej Partain model their new clothes before Slave Day activities. Mama Clay fCoach Clayb sings Baby Huey fMr. Mahanj a lullaby. Being a slave required many things such as: bring- ing their Mmastersl' lunch, carrying their books to class, and dressing the way their masters told them. Some slaves had to wear very bizzare and eye-catching clothes which their masters put together. Slave Day brought in more money than ex- pected this year because the slaves sold for so much. Vaughn Garner was the highest priced slave selling at 5565. Only at Fountain Lake would someone spend that much money to own a person for a day! 7Z5nJ arried and till ln School Being married and still in school definitely had its ups and downs according to some students at Ftn. Lake. Life was hectic, going to school, taking care of the house, cooking supper, and in Tina and Tony Breshears' case, taking care of baby. Tina, a junior this year, and Tony, a senior, felt that it was hard getting started, but definitely worth it. Tina stated, '4We would not trade what we have for anything in the world! A while back it was un- heard of for a person in school to get married but in the 1987-88 school year, six seniors and two juniors were married and could not be happier. Phillip Taylor, a ju- nior, and his wife, a senior at Lake Hamilton, are expect- ing a baby in August. Phillip is looking forward to becom- ing a father. He said, Marrying Verna was the best thing I've ever done! Being married and still in school can be hard to juggle but these couples seem to have handled it with ease! 20 Student Life Tina Breshears gets a little help from her son as she cooks the eve- ning meal.
