It has been said that it is not the automobile that reflects uniqueness, but the driver be- hind the wheel. This is also true of Flemington High School. This school is more than classrooms, halls and stairways. Beneath the brick exterior lives the true essen- ce— the- students and faculty. Over the years, people have been constantly stereotyping the students. Other schools try and fit this school into a mold, but time and time again the students have shown WE DON'T FIT THE MOLD—WE BREAK IT! This school is not something to be taken lightly. Within these four walls lies a group of spirited individuals, each with dreams, hopes and desires. Top: Taking it easy their way were David Ball, Kim Ross, Mike Brown and Sonya Lipscomb. Center: With a little bit of pride, John Stewart fin- ished his art project. Above: A win- ter scene outside of school shows the beauty of Taylor County. Left: Doing it his way was Mr. Mike With- ers, social studies teacher. Memoirs '82 Volume 53 Flemington High School Flemington, WV 26347

 This school is very differ- ent and a lot better for it. We have a very personalized school—a lot of close rela- tionships, stated senior Bill Shelton. This is why we don't fit the mold others try to cast us in. This is the image students wish to create and keep for themselves and for their school. Instead of criticisms and jumping to conclusions, let those look closer. Let them notice the good qualities of this school, its students and faculty. Mr. Robert Shields, princi- pal best explained it, There is a closeness with the com- munity, teachers, Board of Education and administra- tion. The mold and the image that appears stereotyped has been misconstrued. From our four walls come doctors, law- yers, school teachers, engi- neers, physical therapists, bank presidents and many more in the professional and working field. The reason for our success at FHS is the closeness and togetherness that we receive from the guidance of our administra- tion and faculty. In essence, you might just say that we are a family. Above: A lot of students have a spe- cial place where they can go and think things out. Marian Loughran has her own place close to her house. Left: Most students who at- tend Flemington High come from a rural setting much like this one out- side of Flemington. 3
