New Gym Floor, Graduation: ANT STEP faithful 'fPatriots before the start of basketball season. The new floor greatly enhanced the beauty of the gym. A new concession stand in the foyer of the gym not only provided a quick way to get snacks at ball- games, but also served efficiently as a lunch counter during school hours for grades five through twelve. FSCS also moved ahead by joining the Piedmont Association of Chris- tian Schools' Athletic Conference. FSCS was honored to be the host of the NCCAA District Ill basketball championship in February. Mem- bers of the soccer and basketball teams and cheerleading squad were outfitted in new uniforms at the start ofthe season. The 1983-84 year also brought the formation of a junior varsity basketball team and JV cheerleading squad. ln the area of music, the band made history. They took a giant step by becoming the first Christian school in North Carolina to have a marching band. New uniforms were purchased and long hours were spent preparing to march in the Asheboro Fall Festival and Christ- mas Parades. In November, the band traveled to Sheets Memorial Christian School in Lexington for a new all-state band competition for Christian schools in North Caro- lina. In conclusion, FSCS has been stepping ahead in every way possi- ble this year. II Peter 3:18 states something else which the school de- sires: To Him be glory both now and forever. No matter how large FSCS grows or how many steps for- ward are taken, it is the goal of everyone to give Christ the honor and glory. lt is He who blesses the school from day to day. After the heat of the game, Jonathan Britt, Brett Thompson, and Senior Jeff Myers enjoy the thrill of victory over Level Cross. 4

Early in the year, senior portraits were taken and caps and gowns were ordered. Graduation was set for May 28. Juniors ordered class rings in October: and, for the first time, had them formally presented by the Josten's representative later in the year. Curriculum offerings have also stepped ahead.
