Star Burst For the first time in school history FCHS had a Homecoming king and court. The change in royalty occurred at a Student Council meeting when a motion to have a Homecoming king was proposed by one of its members. Much discussion was heard with a final vote in favor of the change. One of the problems that had to be overcome was that court members were on the football team. Overall, the change was a success. A crown and sep-ter were purchased by the Council for the king. This will mark the beginning of a new tradition at FCHS. 8
