Each month a committee of students chooses two persons who have been doing outstanding work for the school. These two students are known as Mr. and Miss Wildcats. The fall couples are as follows: Representing the month of October were Cliff Walls and Martha Harris. Chuck Hoisington and Aileen Berlin were Mr. and Miss Wildcat for November. 3 Which way is it to Kirtland? Onlookers wonder if they'll be on time for the game... Changes are usually something out of the ordinary but at FMHS this year, changes were so abundant that they became almost common place. Mr. Dant was one of the principalMchanges. He made possible many new and exciting activities. During football season two busses were sponsored to away games such as Kirtland and Cortez. Both trips were memorable occasions. Happiness is VICTORY! Out of the bathroom! QUICK! Taking it easy. 1971 Homecoming at F.M.H.S. was the usual, hectic, and eventful week. Students worked late into the night, finishing moving masterpieces (floats). Cul- minating the week's activi- ties was the crowning of the Queen at halftime of the Homecoming Game. That night, Queen Deanna Lewis ruled over the Homecoming Dance. Deanna displayed the poise and beauty that a reigning mon- arch should possess. Her court, equally radiant, con- sisted of Retha Clark, Senior Attendant; Kim Aubert, Junior Attendant; and Deana Bigum, Sophomore Attend- ant. 5 As the football players wait for the bus. What is school life? To some people it is sports, to some it is drama, singing or just the plain everyday thing of talking to people at school. And... And then they run to catch it! Hard working students who received honors during the winter months were: Honors during the month of December went to Duane Erkman and Retha Clark. Lila Wills and Alan Hurd nabbed Wildcat distinction during the month of February. Mr. and Miss Wildcat for the month of January were Melvin Schaefer and Lana Hardy. 7 Skies grew cloudy and the outside temperature dropped, but inside a warm, cheery atmosphere prevailed. These feelings became intensified as Christmas drew near. To celebrate thisYuletide Season. F.M.H.S. held its annual Christmas Dance. Presiding over this December 23 event was Queen Cindy Kalvar and King Dan Waldschmidt. Junior class representa- tives were Kristi Jones and Larry Filner. And, representing the Sopho- more class was Deanna Schropp and Everett Musselman.

The WILDCATS kicked off the 1971 sea- son with three straight victories and closed the season in the success column with five wins. Cross Country, a growing sport at FRUITA MONUMENT, attracted many new participants this year. The HARRIERS utilized the desert for hard practice and ran to Loma. Under Coach Clifford Moore, the men pressed toward team goals. Cross country races are usually held on golf courses and they involve racing two miles across rolling terrain. Coach Clifford Moore 54 Netmen Win Two The 1971 tennis season saw a one hundred twenty percent increase in par- ticipation. Intra-squad competition was so keen that numbers one and two of last year's squad ranked sixth and seventh this year. Coach Carl Clay, satisfied with this year's effort, looks forward to next season. 55 Project aluminum can collection netted money to uniform the WILDCATS. Uniformed Tennis Squad Coach Carl Clay 56 ’72 Was the Year of the Rat '73 Is the Year of the Cat! 57 FMHS Cagers 58 The WILDCAT CAGERS compiled a much improved record of seven wins in season play whereas last season's win record was only two. Led by Coach Duane Evans, the Cagers captured the CHRISTMAS TOURNEY at Durango. Moving into the season, the CATS finished fifth in the Southwestern League after occuping celler post last year. This was accomplished with basically the same players. Great things are expected in 72-73 with Coach Evans having three starters returning and a strong array of subititutes to fill the two vacant positions. The Junior-Varsity Squad, coached by Marion Littlepage had an active season. Much experience was gained and next season promises to be a winning one. 61 BOTTOM TO TOP: Andy Bell, Richard Youll, Galen Kettle, David Younger, Bruce Cairns, Tim Patty, Brian Rogers, Berlwyn Goss, Scott Scales, Mark Murray, Bob Roberson, Mark Wagner.

International Relations Club INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB is an organization whose purposes are to promote a better understanding of international affairs among the membership and the student body, to stimulate interest in worldaffairs, and to provide an opportunity for interaction among students as a method of understanding. This is especially available because of the presence of FMHS foreign exchange students. This year the FMHS International Relations Club officially participated in the IR Conference in Denver (the theme being Apartheid in South Africa), a Model U. N. Assembly at SCSC in Pueblo, and a Model U.N. Assembly at Moffat County High School in Craig. This year's emphasis has been the function of the U.N.. As the Wildcat goes to press, plans are being made to present an International Relations Day at FMHS with films, discussions, speakers, and slide presentations. The club's annual social event is a fondue dinner. 1971-1972 ClubOfficerswere President Patty Jeys, Vice President Janet Schraw, Secretary -Treasurer Carol Brown, and Program Chairman Char Quist. 93 Girls Girls' League, an organization for all FMHS girls, helped to unite and involve them in group activities. This organization proved to be an opening through which any girl could contribute her ideas; its main function was to promote good will in the school. During the fall, Girls' League sponsored the Sadie Hawkins Dance and elected the Pigskin Royalty. A bike ride and picnic to High line Lake highlighted the spring activities.

Students As Teachers Students as teachers was a new class at F. M.H. S. this year. It was designed and taught by Mr. Carl Clay of the English Department and Mr. Tom Rieniets of the Math Department. This class was open only to deserving seniors, who virtually became teachers in teaching situations. The practical reality was that elementary schools could initiate individual study programs due to the additional man power. The students also served as guest lectures in the high school. Moreover, two members of the class have been invited to present their program to the National Council of Teachers of English at their annual convention. Members of the class: Bob Archer, Aileen Berlin, Terry Dougherty, Harold Grandy, Patty Jeys, Pamela Karp, Darrah Miller, Jerry Raymond, Nancy Roper, Janet Schraw, Ann Stouffer, Diana Wilkie, and Lila Wills.

They staffed the circulation desk, shelved books, maintained the periodicals collec- tion, typed and filed, and assisted in keeping the media center neat and clean. The assistants gave many hours of friendly service in addition to their scheduled mods. They were a factor in the increasing efficiency of the media program. MAC, Media Assistants Club, has attended a Mesa College play, The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail .

He feels quite insecure and his language problems make this feeling even stronger. He does not yet feel as a member of a new society and tries to hide behind a curtain of foreignness. After the first three weeks of skepticly watching what was going on around me, I slowly started exploring all the new things around me and made the first attempts of evaluating the new world. My values were strongly influenced by my European background and I compared everything with Europe and the way it was done over there. After a first enthusiam I started finding all kinds of things that couldn't compare with Europe, and, in my mind, set up a pretty sad picture of the United States. An abrupt change in my attitude came around Christmas. I started identifying with Americans; I even started thinking in English. This change did not only affect the language I was thinking in, but my whole way of thinking got more and more Americanized. Suddenly I realized that America was not just a somewhat shaky copy of Europe, but that it was a whole new country with whole new ways of living and evaluating things. 1 started enjoying myself much more and my old European studiousness changed into a pleasant laziness. Here I am now, as American as one can get, facing the day when I leave all these things I love. My family, the school, my friends, and soon America will be the word for the memory of a great experience and a happy time in my life. School here in Fruita has enlightened me both scholas - tically and humanistically . As an exchange student I came to the U. S. A. to learn to understand American society and thought. I feel I have gained a general hint of these aspects through my school life in Fruita. The informal attitude of the school has allowed friends to pass on knowledge to me without the hold-track of a more tradition- al sterotype school. This school has allowed me to enjoy my training and to develop at my own speed in my parti- cular line of interest. It's been eight months since I've been here; I'm leaving pretty soon, and that is really sad. I have learned much that I thought I would. I love everybody here, and this experience is just unforgettable. There is not much difference between my country and the U. S. A. I like both and I wish I could live in both at the same time. I wish everybody could have the opportunity to be an exchange student. One learns so much about people and get older in experience. I would love to have an exchange student at my home from F.M.H.S. Now I only want to say THANKS people from Fruita and Grand Junction. I will always remember all of you who are lovely people. THANKS again and bye, I really have to tell every body at school Thank you, because for me this time in the United States was something very interesting and neat. I am always going to remember F. M. H. S. like something very wonderful, and lam going to tell my friends in Columbia about my experiences in the U. S. A., how friendly the people are to exchange students and everything about my friends, life and school. I really want to say many things before I have to leave, but this is becoming impossible because I feel very sad and I prefer to leave and not say good-bye because maybe it is forever. I hope these lines can express how happy I have been in the United States and can tell you people, Thanks again, and you are welcome in Columbia. My best experience in the United States has been seeing the American people and their customs first hand. I have also enjoyed learning English which is very important for me and participating in an American school is very interesting. I will never forget because I have had a grand time here. Thanks very much. 7?Wuy£ 134 Abeyta, Roberta Adamson, Jim Ash, Pam Baird, Brian Arbogast, Ann A. Arnspiger, Sharon M.
