— Homecoming During the week of homecoming students went all out to show their school spirit by dressing up on surf day, crazy day, toga day, and jersey day. As the excitement of Friday's game built up, many students began to live up to the homecoming theme Let's go crazy! When the final bell sound- ed, students poured out the doors to attend the annual pep rally in Central Square. At the pep rally, Coach Smith announced the sophomores as the winners of the float contest, seniors in second place, and juniors in third place. Mr. Hunerdosse and Mr. White dressed up as expec- tant mothers and compared their expected ba bies to members of the football team. Then they announced Kirk Stevens as the winner of the baby contest. The students left the pep rally confident that we would win the game against the Ottumwa Bulldogs. The fans and students were not let down as we defeated Ottumwa 7-0. Later, in the high school gymnasium, students danced to the music of Uncle Sam. The highlight of the evening was a dance in honor of homecom- ing queen, Karen Dooley, and her court. As the band played the final song, students began to go home, with memories of yeat another successful homecoming. 1. Mike Nelson delivers a big “kiss to the senior float. 2.

Fall Play “A Hobbit? What's a Hobbit? This question was posed by several characters on the F.H.S. stage as the drama department presented Patricia Gray's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic. The Hobbit. A fantasy adventure, the play centers on Bilbo Baggins (Bart Buch), one of the most conservative of all Hobbits, who is asked by Gandalf the wizard (Joe Ferrell), to leave his home in the ground to help thirteen dwarves recover an important trea- sure that is guarded by the evil dragon Smaug. Bilbo reluctantly agrees, and the rest of the play deals with his adventures as he tries to recapture the treasure. Using a cast of twenty-seven actors and ac- tresses, director Scott Slechta and student director Leanne King were faced with many challenges in their first production. Large puppets had to be ere ated by Ken Rowe to portray the fantasy creatures Smaug, Gollum, and the three trolls. Costume and makeup crews had to deal with transforming the cast into bright and colorful dwarves and elves. Although most dwarfs' shoes were falling apart by opening night, none went barefoot. Set crew was given the dilemma of building an imaginative set for a place called Middle Earth. All of the details went together smoothly as the play successfully recreated Tolkien's magic. 1. The trolls Bert, Tom, and Essie plot their next evil move. 2. Juanita Davidson and cast prepare their make up for the show. 3. Having a late snack in Bilbo's home, the dwarves discuss their plan to recover the treasure. 4. Robin Shepherd enjoys a brief moment of humor before the performance. 5. Gandalf (Joe Ferrell) directs Thorin Oakenshield (Paul Moser) to the treasure.
