The WARRIOR has a New Look for 1969, a look which extends from a bold black cover design to larger and more natural photographs. This edition of the WARRIOR has been designed to portray the 1968-69 school year as it was; to capture certain moments andmemories that make an F.H.S. year special. We hope that you will be as proud of the New Look as we are, and will cherish this WARRIOR and the memories it contains for many years to come, --The Annual Staff Gary Camp, Advisor Table of Contents Classes .

Classes 47 Seniors Face Future What began as a dream in the fall of 1965 became a reality three years later for 47 F.H.S. seniors. ... . the dreamof becoming a senior, Many events transpired during those first three years. Adjust- ments were made academically and socially, friends were gained, lessons were learned, athletic contests were won and lost,and each individual at one time or another ex- perienced his own personal victories and defeats. Then came August, 1968, and the sudden recognition of being a senior, Also, with such recognition came the realization that days at F.H.S. were numbered. A fast pace followed, a number of dances and so- cial events, senior portraits, Homecoming victories in football and basketball, Sneak Day, Prom, Baccalaureate, and finally, Commencement. After graduation, these same 47 individuals looked back to F.H.S. and forward to the future. S. BAKER J.

Juniors Receive Class Rings The annual junior joy day is the blessed day when class rings arrive. This day was somewhat different for the '69 juniors in that two styles of rings were on display. Most juniors chose the new academy style ring, and looked forward to graduation in 1970, Junior officers were: Judy Robertson, president; Robert Zaruba, vice-president; Jane Morgan, treasurer; Mary Fredrickson, secretary.

Potter R, Supencheck Frosh Face Adjustment The freshman class experienceda peri- od of adjustment during the early portionof the 1968-69 school year. The overall adjust- ment concerned such tasks as getting used to new teachers, a rotating schedule, study halls, and advanced classes. By semester break, however, most freshmen seemed to loose their puzzled looks, and were obvious- ly looking forward to 1969-70, when they would be classified as ''Upperclassmen, S, Adams L.

A large number of students enrolled in both Art I and Art II classes during the year. Curriculum is the foundation of any school system. During the 1968-69 school year, the curriculum at F.H.S. was not only expanded but also given aclose examination in efforts to further strengthen the foun- dation” of the system. In addition to the normal required subjects in the English, science, and social science departments, students had choices in many elective fields which included vocational agriculture, home economics, and driver education. The fine arts area of the curriculum was given an added boost when extensive classes were added in art, speech, and dramatics. The 1968-69 school year was the first full year in which the expanded fine arts program operated. In April the curriculum was examined and evaluated by the North Central Accre- ditation team. This coincided with faculty and administrative evaluations made during the school year, which were in turn pre- sented to the team.

Life Not All Work Work wasn't all there was to being an F.H.S. student. Students found time during the 1968-69 school year to attend many social events and also to associate with fellow students. Whether attending a dance, promoting school spirit, or just plain goof- ing around, F.H.S. students found that the right combination of work and play could combine to produce an enjoyable school year.

Board Task Not Easy Administrators, namely board mem- bers, superintendents, and principals, share the task of running a school, This task is by no means an easy one. Board members, the elected representatives of taxpayers, must answer to the public for any decisions that they make.

These were just a few experiences that Warrior staffers en- countered in 1968-69. A new system under a new advisor highlighted the year.

The bell, which once rang above the grade school building, was reconditioned by the lettermen. It was given a bright coat of cardinal paint, and then adorned with a white letter ''F. ' The bell was a welcome addition to the promotion of school spirit. The Club sponsored two major events during the year; a junior high basketball tourney, and the annual basketball dance in March. Throughout the year, the Club continued to maintain its goal; promoting good sports- manship, while awarding excellence in F .H.S. athletics.

Warrior grid- men, although ending with a 3-5-1 record, managed to outscore opponents 128-112. Victories were by very convincing margins of 45, 39, and 25 points. Four of the five defeats saw the Warriors shut out, andlack of scoring punch resulted in a narrow 6-7 loss to Centura and a scoreless tie with Shelton. Many returning lettermen look forward to the '69 season. Heading the list of re- turnees will be many '68 headliners includ- ing Tim Roewert. Roewert, a junior, ledthe '68 squad in scoring with 50 points, and rushing with 610 yards. He also ledthe team in kick-off and punt returns.

Many of this year's losses were closer than the final score in- dicated, and in many contests, the Warriors were not counted out until the closing min- utes. An example of such spirited play was in the opening round district tourney clash with eventual state tourney entry Osceola, in which the Warriors led by large margins in early stages of the game.

Trackmen Are Successful The strain of an exhausting race is evident in Junior George Palmer's facial expression as he nears a 440- yard dash victory in the St. Edward dual, Trailing Palmer is teammate Senior Bill McKeeman. F.H.S. trackmen braved late-spring elements to develop themselves into con- ditions for a highly-successful 1969 cam- paign. Workouts during the month of March were confined to the gymnasium as ex- tended winter weather forced the cinder- men indoors. The '69 squad was composed mostly of newcomers and was particularly short-handed in depth. As a result, F.H.S. opponents managed to outscore the Warriors with many second, third, and fourth place finishes in most events. Nevertheless, the squad managed to make the best of the situation by taking many first places in running events, The squad began the season with a respectable second place finish in the Genoa Invitational. Other April meets saw the Warriors score second, third, and fourth place finishes respectively in the St. Edward-Genoa Triangular, M-B-N, and Albion Invitational. The cindermen won a dual meet with St. Edward in early May, then climaxed the season with a fifth place finish in the Lou-Platte Conference Meet, and a sixth place finish in the District Meet at Ord, The Warriors qualified for four State Meet events and scored four points with a second-place finish in the Class ''C mile relay. Head Track Coach Bill Witty is shown looking over scoring charts during the Genoa Invitational Meet. Senior Greg Zabka hands off the relay baton to Junior teammate George Palmer, Zabka and Palmer joined Senior Bill Morgan and Junior Tim Roewert to form F.H.S,'s all-time best mile relay team with a State Meet clocking of 3:29.7.

Leading the way was Junior Tim Roewert who added a 750.3 440-yard dash clocking to the records, and tied the 220-yard dash mark of :22.5, Roewert also anchored the mile relay record-breaking performance at the State Meet in Kearney an outstanding 3:29.7, This performance bettered a 3:33.6 effort set earlier in the season. Junior Tim Horacek tied the school high jump mark at 6 feet to become the district high jump champ. Senior Bill Morgan. a consistant half-mile performer. ran 2:03.4, whichwas only some two seconds off the school mark, Another outstanding performance was by Sophomore pole-vaulter Dave Fitzgerald.

A panoramic look at the Commence- ment Processional shows part of the huge audience, senior class members, Commencement Officials on stage, and the stage curtain inscribed with the senior motto, Either I Will Find A Way, Or I Will Make One, Closing The American Flag... . a familiar symbol to all F.H.S. students ... .«.por- trays a fitting close to the 1968-69 school year. During the past year, this symbol was both respected and abused in a divided world. Many Americans saluted and pledged allegiance to this symbol; other scorned this symbol in protest and hatred. During the year, this symbol covered the coffins of U.S. servicemen who paid the supreme sacrifice for their country, It also flew at half mast, as pictured above, WALSWORTH in respect for General Eisenhower, In con- trast, it was not recognized by U.S. Olympic athletes on a victory stand in Mexico City. This symbol was also the victim of jeers, abuses, and even burning by demonstrators at home and abroad. As a new decade dawns, one can only hope that soon the American Flag will fly over a country not only at peace with all other nations of the world, but also atpeace with itself.
