YESTERDAY-due date of the as- signment you're working on now. ZITS-things that pop up on your face on picture day.

Costs Anon-athlete spends approximately $29 a year going to sporting events while the average athlete spends close to $50 for shoes and practice clothes. If the stuaent is in band another $32 is spent on band shoes and pants. The favorite 'hour' is lunch. The cost for a stu- dent who eats at the school cafeteria is $108 while the student who eats up town the expense can go up to $540. Publications cost $8 for the 'Jacket' and $1.80 for the 'Sting'. Tests that are taken during the junior and senior year run from $3.50 for the PSAT to $7.50 for the ACT plus travel to the testing col- lege. The average Sr. por- traits cost $120. Gradu- ation even gets into the pockets of students with cap and gown rental of $10 to announcements around $35. The average car driver spends $56.25 during one year to drive his car to school and back one time day. Add to that riding around and the athletes and spectators who have to drive back and forth to school for practice and games and this can push it up into the hundreds. A few of the extra frills of school are letter jackets $85, class rings $100 and FFA entry fees $50. The cost of running the school for a month is tre- mendous. For electricity, water, and sanitation, in the month of January 1980 was $2,247. Gasoline for the buses for one month ranges up to $3668 to run routes and activities. Heating bills for a cold winter month cost up to $2754. This only includes energy bills. After this teachers, administration, and the janitors have to be paid. Cost doesn't always have to be registered in dollars and cents. Cost in hours of human sacrifice and time spent at school is unbelievable. The average nonathlete spends 7.5 hours at school a day mak- ing over 1140 hours a school year. Band stu- dents spend 8.5 hours a day at school while ath- letes spend close to 10 hours. If the 'lucky' ath- lete is also in band he spends close to 11 hours every day of the week in a school building. The emotional cost and the physical one is also tremendous for the aver- age high school student. Preparation for 'the big test' causes quite a strain. Early morning band trips or track meets also put physical strains on those involved. The cost of school really can't be expressed in terms of dollars and cents or hours. In fact education is a gift. In twenty years SQUEEZE PLAY: Ronnie Barger depletes his bank account approximately $100 as he signs a check for his senior portraits. DOUBLE THE EXPENSE: Darin and David Miller relax in the gym lobby at noon. The twins had to pay twice the average $107 for their letterjackets (Darin is 36 and David 7). most students of FHS will be glad to say 'I paid my dues.' Cost 23

WINTER— action hot as weather cools Surviving the busy ac- tivities of fall, FHS moved into winter with a relaxed atmosphere. Christmas break was not far away and stu- dents worked a little harder to bring their grades up before the next semester started. Early in December Chuck Neufeld and Kay Thomas participated in All-State Band try-outs. Both Kay and Chuck were members of the All-State Jazz Band but neither had previously been in the prestigious concert band. Kay Thomas qualified and participated in the band in January with her alto sax. December offered more than Santa Clause and wreathes of holly to students. Open house was held before Christmas break. Par- WRAPPING UP! Spectators endured the cold during the last few weeks of football season. Regina Reeves decides not to share her blanket as she watches Cherokee go down 30-18 at the last game. ents had the opportu- nity to view classrooms, talk with teachers, and see a slide-show com- piled by the yearbook staff. Science classes conducted experi- ments and the PE stu- dents bounced, rolled, and tumbled for the entertainment of the visitors. Basketball season pushed on with games every Tuesday and Fri- day night. Tournament demanded much of the team's time. The boys placed fifth in the Heri- tage Hall Tournament. The girls finished sec- ond to rival Kingfisher in the All-girls' tourney at Elk City. Christmas kept peo- ple busy buying pre- sents, decorating trees, homes, and even the school, caroling at grandparents' houses and vacationing. The STUCO sponsored a film for the student body 'Cat Balloo' with Jane Fonda and Lee Marvin. Many of the students were disap- pointed that there were no cartoons, but as the saying goes, You can't have 'Cat Balloo' and cartoons too. As the new year started English IV pupils began work on their research papers. Late night hours, bib cards and notes kept fatigue high. Trips to the Enid Phillips, OSU, OU and other libraries demand- ed all the spare time they could muster. Tne Soundsations, a show choir from NWOSU, presented an assembly in January. 'Makin' It' was their theme and students «IHILLY DAY for the November 11 Fly-In. School Secretary Lillian Nickel, Sheila Warner and Wilinda Shaffer watch the stunt planes for a while before deciding to retreat to warmer surroundings. enjoyed the song and dance presentation of pop tunes, rock and roll, and disco. In other parts of the school it was class as usual. With nothing to break the daily grind, people looked forward to spring break. FHA made plans for the sweetheart banquet. Kenny Wanzer was crowned FHA Beau by Pres. Sheila Warner. The band performed a concert before their district contest. As February rolled in FHS went basketball crazy. The boys team captured the district ti- tle despite the loss of its two postmen, Tom Pearson and Matt Card. The girls' team lost to Laverne at districts, beat Boise City then lost to Pioneer in the Regional Tournament. Head coach Leon Wright was unable to attend the play-offs due to a death in his family. While the girls were eliminated, however, the boys steamed on, beating Hooker in the semi-finals of Regionals 47-38. Facing Former state champion Okarche in the finals the Jackets emerged victorious 54-52. The Jackets advanced to the Area finals against Sny- der.
