What did you think of the Student Life activities this year? Do you think they helped increase the spirit at FHS? 6 They give us a chance to shou u hat the school means to us. I think the other schools look at our school spirit as admirable because whether we win or lose, we always haoe spirit''-Sandl Wilkinson, 10 “A couple of years ago, our spirit was really low, but now, with the help of the great Spirit Week ac- tioities and dances, we haoe enough spirit left ooer for three schools! - Cathy Schaumleffel, 12 I thought we put a lot of effort into our activities. We have the quality at FHS but we still get no respect. Student Life ac- tivities help us show other schools our true colors. - Darryl Brandt, 11 Everyone knows that Fairborn is considered the 'underdog,' but what they may not know is we are ‘king of the hill' when it comes to spirit. Student Life activities proved this. -Susan Carey, 12

Have you ever stopped to think what high school life would be like without student activities? No Homecoming; no Vespers; no Fall Play; no Spirit Week. A horrible thought, right? Lucky for us, such a life didn't exist — and it shouldn’t. Activities broke the monotony of classes, studying, and tests. Whether you went to rehearsals everyday after school, worried endlessly if that cute guy in your 2nd period would ask you to the dance, or just enjoyed your nights out with your friends-it was a welcomed break — even though it wasn't all fun and games. Maybe it was the thought of going over that Chorale song at LEAST a thousand times. It was all part of Student Life. Every breed of student could get involved in the school x-tras to help them avoid getting caught up in the hectic days-whether it was Homecoming for the sentimentals, Spirit Week for the “crazies”, or Vespers and the play for the artistic types. So, what were the rewards? Meeting new boy girl friends, little free time to watch “Cosby?” Or maybe a greater sense of belonging? Who knows? What we did outside of class was often “More Than Meets the Eye.” • ENJOYING the atmo- sphere of the evening. Senior Wes Matsel and his date, Lori Nagel. take a break from the dancing at the Christmas Dance. Dances were a way students could relax with each other away from the pressures of school. SENIOR RAH! Leading the rest of the senior powder- puff cheerleaders, Patrick Armstrong, Jay Stanton and Andy Feltz cheer on their team as well as entertain the crowd. Student Life T
