Many faces shown puzzlement during those first few days of classes, especially the sophomores. The sweltering heat of 90 degrees kept attention spans at a minimum for the first week or two. The year started out in the public eye with the very controversial nuclear power plant. A Koshkonong Alert group formed in opposition to the plant. A series of hear- ings were scheduled in the large main room of the high school with many area television stations telecasting the interviews. A new schedule introduced at FHS this year had students participating in an eight period day, each period containing 52 min- utes in the day.
