The Spirit of High School FOREWORD The Great Spirit—first used as our school emblem in the 1936 Piper, the original FHS annual—signifies the challenge of the future. When the Tiger mascot was chosen in 1946, the Spirit was retained, and has become an important element of FHS tradition. Since the Great Spirit is the emblem of our school, we have chosen the Indian, whose dignity and picturesquenss represent the freedom and democracy of America, for the cover of this edition of the Tiger. We hope this book will be a tribute to the administration, faculty, and students that have made our school the wonderful institution that it is. It is hoped that in future years this Tiger will be a testimonial REFLECTING the achievements and aspirations of the people who have made our alma mater great. DEDICATION The staff respectfully wishes to dedicate the 1965 Tiger to the Board of Education. These dedicated men, through their unceasing efforts, have given us a beautiful school of which we, the students, and the entire community may be justly proud; and have provided an educational atmosphere designed to prepare us for our future endeavors and to give us a richer and fuller outlook on life.

and Finishes Senior Activities The twins, Joy and Joyce Gansner, set the pace for the 1965 crowning. The couples entered and bowed in pairs. The scene of the thirty-eighth annual Tiger Crowning was the Ralph B. Tynes Gymnasium, Monday evening, March 1. The royal affair was preceded by the spring-summer style show, presented by Mrs. Elsie Wampler. Climaxing the evening was the Tiger Crowning. Ten girls and ten boys composed the Royal Court for the retiring king, John Davis, and the retiring queen, Bobette Hughes. One lady-in-waiting and one male successor were in the dark as to their oncoming reign. The commentator for the crowning was Diane Carrow. As tension grew among the crowd and candidates, Diane carried the ball with a calm tone. As the prospective queens entered the court, they were presented beautiful bouquets from Fults Florists by the flower girls, Janet Lucas and Anita McCormack. Finally the big moment arrived. The time had come to reveal the names of the Tiger King and Queen. Every- one was silent, everything was quiet except the rattling of the envelopes being opened by Diane. Then, she said, The 1965 Tiger King is Nick Borusiewich. Nick took John's place on the royal throne and the crowner, Claudia Althauser, crowned him. King Nick. Then Diane announced, The 1965 Tiger Queen is Sherry Scott. A scream was heard and Sherry cried. She took her place on the royal throne beside Nick, and Bobette bowed graciously to Sherry. John Summers placed Sherry's crown upon her head. Then Gerald Chappue took numerous pictures to insure a lasting remembrance. Gifts were given to the King and queen by Smiths Jewelers of Festus. Sherry received a necklace with a miniature Festus ring suspended from a tiny gold chain. The ring has drawn many admiring looks. Nick received a tie clasp of the same nature. Both looked happy with their new titles. King Nick and Queen Sherry.
