The Bicentennial e-i9i6 year Just as the early-day settlers began helping form the structure of a new na- tion, establishing new relationships, and strengthing bonds, we, two hun- dred years later, began the same pro- cess—that of raising the school spirit getting different activities going, drawing friends closer and creating feelings of mutual bond ... a new spirit. It was a great change as, like the breath of revolution blowing across the colonies, a breath of fresh air blew through the halls of FHS in 1976. MODERN MACHINERY makes the job go faster though still boring for Brett Reese, as he starts his after-harvest plowing.

Ants Big ones, little ones, black ones, red ones, sizes all vary but they all point to ants. The most nerve-rack- ing, spine-tingling creature put on the face of the earth. No matter what you try to do you can never diminish their squadrons from in- vading the place you don't want them—your locker. Pull out your books, go to class, and pray for RAID. Belts The first automobile was belt- driven. The first V-belt was patented in 1886. We live in the middle of the wheat belt. Belt is slang term of a drink. All of these have affected the course of mankind in some small way or another, but they have not done anything for us in the way that the kind of belt that holds up our pants does. Imagine what would have happened if Patrick Henry had gotten halfway through his speech and his pants had fallen down! It would have ruined the effect of oration, to say the least. However, around here, most people wear wide leather belts with their name embossed on the back and a large silver buckle up front. Of course, a piece of binder twine works almost as well, but it certainly looks tacky. Brown Baggers Cycles Walking past Room 1 from 12:30 to 1:00, the familiar smell of bolog- na, salami, Pringles and pickles drifts through the hall. Brown-bag- gers, hating the hassle of running up- town to beat all the other kids, and skipping ham and beans at the lunch- room, casually open their sacks and enjoy a quiet meal at home. Idolizing such people as Evel Kneival and those amazing Japan- ese Kamikaze pilots, high-rising, high-speed cyclists became the ter- ror of the back roads on nearly every weekend. Stripped down Yamahas, Kawasakis, and Bultacos raced for reward, fun, and fury. Ride on brother! SURPRISE! That mess in Stephanie Dahlemn's locker, contains not only her personal library but is also the home of many ants. 6 Student Life
