The Ftn. Lake Danger Zone The high school parking lot received a well-de- served nickname last year - The Danger Zone. When asked if they could think of a better name to de- scribe the parking lot, most students answered, NO',! Ken Livingston stated that, 4'The parking lot isn't dangerous, it is the people that drive in it. Most students felt that the parking lot should have been put together better. Todd Willis replied, I'm not able to drive yet, but when I am, I hope that some- thing is done about the way the parking lot is made, it's too confusing. When asked, If you could change one thing about the parking lot, what would it be? Melody Fason said, More driving room. There is not enough room between the front parking row and the wall! Although there were some wrecks on the parking lot, the students felt that it wasn't all badv. It could be safe if people would just drive more carefully and buckle up! , , VAYI -,,, VV , V ' , r r , r 77014 Parking C , iijr Lot Who would ever think that Cruisin, Thruv this place could be dangerous? Havin, Fun In School 7 Some happy Students enjoy the Layout design and copy by Lori Willis Halloween Carnival. The 1987-88 school year was a busy one for the ele- mentary students who par- ticipated in many activities from Halloween Carnivals to class projects. They also had Christmas, Valentines, and Easter parties which they enjoyed immenselyl' Some of the class projects were considered fun, even the fifth graders had a good time working on their Planet Projects . They dis- played their views of the So- lar System by building min- iature models that included the nine planets. The sixth grade class had a 50's party where the girls modeled rol- led-up hair and poodle skirts and the guys, with hair slick- ed back wore their tight, fad- WM 'Eleinentary Entertainment ed blue jeans. The Halloween Carnival was the highlight of first se- mester activities. With their mothers in attendance and helping out, some students were made up into their fa- vorite Halloween character. The haunted house had its share of screams while some students were married and all played games. Mini-Mag 21

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.

THE FAST LAN Ways of transportation get more complex as the child gets ol- der. The three and four years olds go from soaring down hills on tricycles and wagons, to bicycles with training wheels. When they are at the seven to eight year old stage, they take off the training wheels and start experiencing with skate- boards and go-carts. When they get into the preteen years, they want three wheelers and four wheelers, even though they can be danger- ous. When they hit fourteen to eighteen, they are all looking for the ultimate cruising machine, which can range from cars to trucks pro- duced by Ford, Chevy, Dodge, or whichever vehicle is most pre- ferred. However, the one that best suits your needs may be a dangerous way of transportation, for instance, the Arkansas State law has put a ban on the manufacturing and selling of three wheelers. So, if you are going to town or just clowning around, drive safely and Buckle Up . To C A , NGA Stephen Homan, Chris Poston, Mark Wilson, Mike Funtenatto, Kent Livingston, Fred Green, Kevin Wylie, and Doug Tillery show one of the many uses of a truck.
