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.

Catch the fever! WBOY Channel 12 news dirrector Bob Fulton visited the school in early March to talk about the weather and its various changes in north- central West Virginia. Students in Mrs. Pat Walls English classes got to ask the newsman many different questions about the weather, as well as the operation of a TV station. I thought the talk was in- teresting. I never knew just how weather predicting worked, said Mark Cottrill. Getting involved with the community is a project that Flemington students have done well for years. People like Bob Fulton add to the success of community in- volvement, but students play a vital part also. The new special education building beside the school was built by Flemington and Grafton students taking building construction class at the Taylor County Vocational Center. The important aspect of this, is that actual students received a chance to help their community and school. The building will serve as a big help to the school in the years to come, commented special education teacher Mr. Jerome Octave. Community involvement is special . . . Catch the Fever!
