School life is also composed of many out-of-classroom activi- ties. For example, a vital part of the overall school program is the pupil-improvement of the campus and buildings, Each year both the grounds and build- ings become more and more attractive and colorful. Public performances are en- couraged, Local students are encouraged both to become good performers and good listeners. The F. F.A. boys' quartet participated in district competition, the Glee Club sponsored matinee and evening concerts presented by F. S. U. 's Women's Glee Club--these are but two examples among many, Learning to participate intelli- gently in democratic living is facilitated by voting, cam- ' paigning, and rallies as well as by classroom projects. Students register to vote, and back up the winners--be it a Student Council election, a homeroom election, or a mock presidential cam- paign.
