Many thoughts flashed through his mind: When is that paper due? What time do l have to pick him up? What day is that test? When do l have to work? Yes, work. Work - that vile activity that requires commitment, responsibility, and physical or mental movement in exchange for a reward - is something that more and more American high school students find themselves participating in. 10fAfter The Bell Coffeyville teens are no exception: in fact, due to the present economic conditions, perhaps teens work more here than in other areas of the country. ln order to buy the things they needed, FKHS students needed money. ln order to get money, they faced a choice between borrowing from parents or getting a job.

Thursday night a bonfire was held at Walter Johnson Park and was hailed a success -- the bonfire represented student involvement in Spirit Week again. Eventually Friday night arrived. Friday, which had been Purple and Gold Day, was important to practically all of Field Kindley. At 7:00 p.m., Shelly Stewart was named Fall Homecoming Queen 1987. At 7:50, the Nado football team did battle against Ottawa.
