Even though the number one priority at school is to further one's education, having fun runs a very close second. At FHS activities range from dress-up days to dances, from Homecoming to Halloween and from the prom to graduation, all of which are geared to bring the students pleasure and amusement. Dances themselves inspire changes in dress depending on the occasion. Blue jeans and button downs are the style at less formal dances while three piece suits and long dresses signify the formality of a dance such as Homecoming or the prom. Regardless of what apparel is worn, students use dances for a chance to socialize and show off the latest dance steps, not to mention the chance to be with that someone special. To close out the school year the annual junior- senior prom and graduation are held as a remin der of a hard year's work. The prom serves as a sort of last hurrah for seniors and at the same time gives the underclassmen something to look forward to. It is also a portrait of beauty as everyone looks their best while they dance and romance the night away. The end of a long road comes to reality for seniors at graduation. The day seems split between joy and sorrow, a day in which anticipation and wandering futures go hand in hand. No matter what paths are chosen by this year's grads or those in the future, the fun found in high school activities will never be forgotten. Yvonne Frederick models her attire on punk day, Lara Frantz jokes with her pumpkin friends, and, Michelle Stalets and Jill Fruth ride the peace float in the Homecoming parade.

A scene from the drill team's extravagant halftlme show, the pregame enthusiasm of the football team and the court after the coronation were all highlights of the evening's festivities. Active in football and track, King Doug Sprouse spent much of his free time during his high school years lifting weights in preparation for his athletic competition. Math-related courses were among his favorites. A member of the gymnastics team and the stu- dent council, Queen Karis Asel also participated in band, choir and drama club. Biology courses were among those she enjoyed the most. Homecoming 13
