Getting into it! What do pets and a Rubic's Cube have in common? These are both two things that take up a great deal of a student's time, both in and out of school. . Pets seem to be a popular pasttime with many students. Some pets range from the common to the exotic. Many students have dogs or cats, some horses, but how many people do you know have ex- otic birds such as peacocks. Senior Sonya Knotts does, plus many other types of birds. Many students have farm animals to care for and this takes up much of their out- side time. On the calmer side, many students take up their time by listening to the radio. I listen to my stereo, it gets me away from reality, said Amy Guynn. A popular sport at school that fills in the afternoon lunchtime gap is a game of friendly football. Working the Rubik's Cube is a hit with many students. For some a cube brings many hours of enjoyment, others 30 seconds of agony. Top left: The kick-off starts right after lunch.

All in o don’s work Learning something new. Talking to friends. Playing ball in the gym. All of these are activities that make up a typi- cal day. But what would a stranger see? A series of bells, that are confusing even to veteran teachers on opening day. A relaxed atmosphere where students are able to be them- selves. A school set among the hills of Taylor County, thus giving it the family” at- mosphere we hear so much about. Attending FHS is all of this and more. It is pride in our work and our friends. This is all a typical day at FHS. For Jon Loughlin, learning something new is part of a typical day. Eighth grader Regina Bur- ton said a typical day is Be- ing with friends and talking. I remember being carried up the stairs by Bill Shelton and Terry Riffle against my will, said Lisa Lindsey. Karen Sheme also remembered the stairs-falling down them.
