J j This 1987 yearbook is structured around the theme “It’s a jammin’ situation.” Just as music plays its role in every life, we believe this theme successfully represents our years in high school. Because music is an especially important part of every student’s life, we felt that we could use it to realistically present the happenings of the year. It seems to always be in the back of our minds, regardless of whether or not our fifth hour study hall teacher allows us radio privi- leges. The tunes may have vulgar lyrics that some of us are thankfully unable to understand. However, just as often we hear subtle lyrics that motivate romance or melancholy feelings in us. It is this versatility that first attracted us to the chosen theme. In a way music personifies the diverse student body at FHS. Each of us has our own likes and dislikes where tunes are con- cerned, and our tastes in music are an original as our fingerprints. Music is and will continue to be the most relied upon form of expression in our generation. No matter what the mood or thought, there lurks on some album or cassette a song that seems to say exactly what we feel. In a similar manner we have attempted to use music to express not only a historical record of this year but also a memoir of the moods and mannerisms of 1987.
