Hide here. It’s almost 7:10. The first teachers have ar- rived, soon it will be the students. This is our biggest case ever. Look for all the clues you can.” “Don’t worry. Uncovering se- crets in this little school will be a snap. I’ll just float from room to room. In no time, we will know ev- erything.” “Great, now get to work. Here’s the first bus.

Student Life 5 Battle of the Sexes “1 have a better grade than you.” “In your dream maybe!” “That’s what you think.” “That’s what I know!” No matter where one goes to school, or where one is, the battle of the sexes can be found everywhere. According to the Wom- en’s Yellow Pages, girls are more intelligent than guys going through their teens. Of course, opinions fly when the sexes are trying to better one another. Looking at one point of view, sophomore, Bobbie Platt stat- ed, “Girls mature faster than boys.” Her sis- T X hat’s not fair, the sports page is covered with football pic- tures.” Could it be that the battle of the sexes is being fought on the courts as well as off the courts. Women athletes claim WE GET NO RE- SPECT! “We run, we sweat, and we play just like the guys,” stated sen- ior guard, Brenda Williams. Boys basketball coverage aver- ages 100% in local newspapers compared to 57% coverage for var- sity girls basketball. 6 Student Life ter, Patty, a junior agrees. From the guys’ side of the conflict, Kevin Cottrill, junior, believes that boys are “...defi- nitely smarter than girls, boys are born more intelligent, the only difference is girls make ‘better’ grades because they try harder.” In grades 9-12, girls outnumber the guys on the honor roll by a ratio of 7-3. This seems to prove that girls do indeed try harder. How- ever, faculty member, Mr. Donald Kenyon stated, “They have equal mental abilities- ...neither is better than the other.” College Prep Enrollment Girls 81 v.Boys 60 41 girls advanced math. 38 boys advanced math. 21 girls in French. 9 boys in French. 19 girls advanced science. 13 boys advanced science. in spite ot statistics, girls out- number boys in advanced math classes at FHS.

Student Life 7 Braggin’ Rights As autumn skies begin darkening with the coming of winter, thoughts turn to- wards guys’ favorite pasttime, hunting- .From lunchroom to classroom, the topic of conversation turns toward roaming in the wilderness, looking for the perfect buck, bragging rights so to speak. Outside of the organized school sports such as basketball, hunting tops the list as the favorite. For some students, hunting provides time to be alone, it’s “relaxing” for sophomore, Brian Purkey, while it makes Kevin Cottrill, junior, “nervous.” Others hunt for the outdoor adventure. Mr. Mike Withers, teacher, likes hunting, not only for the exercise, but to enjoy the scenic beauty of West Virginia. For senior, Rick McGee, the challenge of hunting his favorite game, like deer, wild turkey, rabbit and squirrel, is enough to call him to his favorite hunting grounds, the open woods. F J—rf ven though hunting may top the list for guys, it’s not always at the top for the girls. So, what do they do while the guys are roaming around. Tammy Vincent and Connie Knotts stay home watching TV and catching up on their sleep.Tammy Mullan grabs her Four-wheelin'fun. Linda Wil- son, sophomore, gets out in the sun by four-wheeling around around the countryside that sur- rounds Flemington. Four-wheel- ing continues to be a popular sport among students. gear and takes off with the guys. Her only problem, catching a buck “They get mad at me,” she explained. If given a choice of hunting or staying home, most agree with Charlene Tyson and Aimee Moore, they would much rath- er be home listening to the radio than lis- tening to bragging. 8 Student Life STUDENTS POLL BRAGGING RIGHTS 72.9% students hunt 13 out of 17 girls hunt 76% boys hunt the big bucks 23.5% girls hunt the big buck 78% of hunters love deermeat Setting his sights.

Once inside, it’s easy to realize the school is steeped in tradition. Class composite pictures line the hallway dating from 1928. With a little time and care, students can of- ten find a grandparent, frozen in time, a teen, just like them. Farther down the hall, trophy cases brag of past glories. Pride. It takes on a different meaning in an old high school. A ‘family’ atmosphere surrounds the school and its students. For some the school has been in their families for generations. With the ’80’s however, a new type of pride is erupting. Banners and signs decorate the halls, pro- claiming spirit and pride for teams, classes or special events. According to Mrs. Pat Walls, teacher, “School doesn’t have to be all work, students are always show- ing spirit and pride...it sometimes gives us a break.” ,jH Born in Italy, Mr. Jerry Octave speaks to French classes during Foreign Language week. West Virginia is a true melting pot, with various nationalities moving to the Mountain State. A A. Anybody should be proud of their heritage. You have no control how you’re brought into the world. I’m proud of how the Italian heritage helped to contribute to the American Society. They have contributed to the arts. Our wine, food and 60% of the Eng- lish language are of Italian influ- ence. The country of Italy has stood the test of time.. Civilization has its roots in that part of Europe. ■Mr. Jerome Octave, teacher Student Life 11 Weekend R R What do kids do on the weekends? Randy Saltis, freshman, and Tina Spencer, junior, both agree that, “ the weekend is a good time to recover from a hard week of teachers and home- work. Richard Greathouse, junior, decided that, “people who think weekends are for jobs and chores, are only kidding themselves.” On weekdays, everything is rush, rush, rush. There never seems to be time to just sit down and rest. Week- ends, however, senior, Carl Pinnell- ,stated “ everyone seems to be taking it easy, enjoying the fun while it lasts.” “Wait a minute,” sophomore, Linda Wilson, disagreed, “ Remember, you have to party once in a while, why not on the weekends?” Saturday Night is reserved for dances. Senior Carl Pinnell, en- joys himself, showing off his moves. Catching up on sleep, Tina Spencer decides to just sleep her day’s away. 12 Student Life Jo i_r X holidays. Time to invite the whole family. “Families are close around here. Students can have fun any day of the week,” said Jodi Lips- comb, freshman. Students, like sophomore Tracy Blake and, freshman, Amy Fowler, love to spend time at the mall with their families. They both agree, “the more the merrier!” Timmy Knotts, junior, stated, “Families have time for one an- other,...just like FHS, we’re like a family too.” Hunting season is in and look out. Every weekend is devoted to nothing but the woods for Jason Courtney and Kevin Cottrili. Student Life 13 Who Needs It? EXTRA! EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it! No more homework. Wouldn’t that be great? Students never want homework, teachers al- ways assign homework, at least that s what most believe. “Homework is for school, not for home. And they give us too much. We never have time for anything else!”, complained Melissa Trader, junior, and Julie Sheppard, sophomore. However, after spending 12 years in school, Tammy Vincent, senior, be- lieves she has the homework situation figured out. “They all get together and plan to give homework on game night!” she explained. And when does the busy student find time to do homework? After school? During class? Before the first bell? Some students, like Mike Whitehair, confessed to doing homework one class before it was due. W here's your homework? How about, “It’s at home.” a nice truthful answer. The reply, “That’s a zero. How about, “Really, my mom just had a baby.” The reply, ‘‘Congratulations, but it's still a zero. More creative? “Well, on my way to umm, school. This, umm. guy came, grabbed my science book, mumbled some- thing about outer space, then he, umm, just vanished.” The reply, “So did your grade. 14 Student Life Before the first bell,Debbie Crowe works on her assignments. Often the noise of the gym seems friendlier than the quiet of a class- room to get the work finished. Excuses, excuses. Bobbie Platt, sophomore has her reason ready as she tries to convince Mr. Guy Costello. “Homework is a necessary evil. I don’t give much of it. It provides an opportunity for students to practice newly learned skills.” -Mrs. Terri Shriver- . teacher Do teachers get together to plan homework? Mrs. Pat Walls and Mrs. Terri Shriver have a dis- cussion before school. Student Life 15 Gotta’ fill that sweet tooth. Amy Fowler and Melissa Knotts, sophomores, grab a candy bar during lunchtime. Almost empty feeling. Cathy Lipscomb tries to decide her snack as she faces an almost emp- ty snack machine. 16 Snack Attack Facts Top selling candy bars: Snickers Twix Whatchamacallit Top selling snacks: Barbecued anything Student Life Snack Attacks What would students at FHS do without snacks? Kenny Tyson, one of the biggest snackers in school, said, “We would go crazy!” If it’s early morning, lunch, or even during classes, there’s always a student munching down. Some like Heather Kittle and Amy Fowler, both agree that their lunch is based on a pop and a snack. Others, with bigger appetites eat school lunch and still snack. Students average more than $2.50 each day on snacks such as chocolate, chips and a daily can of pop. Why so many junk food junkies? “It keeps us going. Really, we pay more attention, besides, at home there’s nev- er anything to eat,” explained senior Frankie Murphy. For those desperate few who rely on junk food, “Don’t take our snacks away or the ‘Hounds’ will come hunting for 'em” Candy wrappers, gum cracking, chocolate melting. Stomach’s growling. Final- ly, not being able to stand it any longer, a student walks down the hall to the snack ma- chine. Another runs up the steps to catch Miss Paugh’s “candy shack” before the bell rings and to grab a piece of gum from Sally’s office. Students don’t have a fa- vorite place to shop when it comes to snacks, just as long as it’s sweet. 17 Pet Names What do Felix, Sheba, Gizmo and Q- Stix have in common? These and other strange names re- fer to students’ pets. Any variety of pets can be found in and around homes. From the typical, like cats and dogs, to the not so typical, like horses, rabbits and even birds. For many, pets are a member of the family. Charles Charleton, senior, said, My hamsters eat and sleep when my family does, they do just about every- w alking through the woods, the experienced hunter can spot the squirrel scurrying up the oak, or the doe frozen in the brush. Even around the bend from school at the pond, wild ducks and tame ducks float along. Sur- rounded by nature, students get animal magnetized. thing we do.” Even those students not having pets, many have a soft spot for animals. “I hate to see anyone mistreating ani- mals, and if I see a stray cat or dog beingteased by someone, I’ll tell them about it,” said Melissa Knotts, fresh- man. Summing it up, Robert Bolton said it best. “My dog is my best friend, where I go, he goes.” Holding him back Patty Platt uses one of her pets for a watch dog. 19 The Ground Up The Mountaineer Greenhouse, extra money for dances and things. which reopened in February, became The work wasn t all that hard and for the largest employer of students in the Flemington area. Employing over 20 students during the ’88 school year, the greenhouse gave under aged students a chance at a job besides the old standbys of babysitting and mowing grass. From watering plants,to selling plants to digging holes for plants, stu- dents like Mark Bray, junior kept busy. Although the wages weren’t impres- sive, at $2.00 an hour, Melissa Knotts, freshman, felt that it “gave me a little What a job! Freshman, Melissa Knotts, spends most of her time planting seeds. students under the age of 16, it got them away from the house so “I don’t sit at home bored.” And who was the boss? “Someone just came and told us what needed to be done and that’s all. We decide who was going to do it and when. It was really lots of fun,” explained Scott Blake. The greenhouse effect resulted in the increase of income for 20 students, as well as an opportunity to learn busi- ness from the ground up. W hether it’s doing chores at home, working part- time at McDonalds’s, or mowing grass, most students have “jobs.” Many seniors hold down jobs to give them independence. “I need money to put away,” ex- plained Sam Olivio, “so I’ll have a head start on my future once I leave home.” 20 Student Life The Mountaineer Greenhouse one of the largest employers of area teens, offers after school and summer jobs for many of the stu- dents. Above Watering plants is an unending job for Connie Knotts, sophomore. Among her other jobs are office chores, plant- ing seeds and taking plant orders Down on her hands and knees Patti Cook prepares the see beds for early spring planting Crowning Event | With a swirl of color, and with the strains of easy rock music by the Second Street Band floating through the air, the annual Prom began. After the formalities of pictures for mom and dad, the music started for the traditional Grand March. Then time for the crowning of the royal court started. Selected as King and Queen by the junior class were Carl Pinnell and Tammy Vin- cent. Princesses were Vickie Ball and Frankie Murphy, while Princes were Marty McCloy and Sam Olivio. From that moment on, the Prom was in full swing as girls in their gowns and guys in their tuxes swayed to the easy rock music. However,months before the dance even took place,the junior class sold mag- azines, held bake sales, conducted road tolls just to raise enough money to hold the Prom. Then on May 14, class members and some parents decorated for the gala af- fair. With help from Baloons Unlimited, they transformed the bare white walls of the center into a wonderland of baloons and pastel backgrounds. As eleven o’clock appeared, the magic of the ’88 Prom was secure. Just crowned, Frankie Murphy and Sam Olivio serve as princess and prince on the ’88 Prom Court. uniors quickly found out they the could not prepare for the Prom without some extra help. Between raising money, with a faculty member’s Ok, to making final decisions about food, the juniors could turn to the faculty for advice. Juniors, such as Marsha Wise- man, felt that the Prom was a great success, because .’’We worked hard for it.” 22 Student Life j Above:Serving on the court for the Prom were princess and prince Vickie Ball and Marty McCloy.

Student Life 23 ...and Finally Before the band even struck a chord of “Pomp and Circumstance,” before one cap and gown was worn, the seniors fol- lowed the tradition of a Taylor County graduation. On May 27, they shut their lockers for the last time. As nine o’clock appeared, visitors, parents and the student body lined the bleachers of the gym for the an- nual Awards Day ceremony. The final mo- ment, as class president Tom McCray handed over the key to the school to the junior class president Tina Spencer, proved to be a tearful and emotional one as the junior class accepted the key. Then it was off to Grafton on May 30, as the seniors marched in the annual Memori- al Day Parade. Donned in caps and gowns, the 24 graduating seniors added the ’88 twist, of “wearing shades” to the traditional parade. Then on June 5th, no longer students, but independent adults, the class gath- ered together for the last time. Doing her part sophomore Christy Greathouse hands out the commencement programs to visi- tors. T X hey came from out of state and across the street. Teachers, parents, aunts, uncles, friends and alumni, all came to watch as a new group received their diplomas and graduated from Flemington High School. Misty-eyed, many in the audience could remember a similar time, per- haps years ago, when they too, marched up the aisle between rows of beaming relatives. For others, still students, they could imagine the moment when they would finally graduate, receive their diplo- mas, and leave the stage for the last time. 24 Student Life Thumbs up. Everything is going fine for senior Jerry Pence as he waits for the beginning of the graduation ceremony on June 5. GRADUATION NOTEBOOK Preparing for graduation can become costly for the graduates and their par- ents.

The traditional gesture marks the final moment as a student at FHS. Student Life 25 Tassle on Right Nervously waiting outside, the sen- iors made a last minute check. Tassle on left, gown on, cap firmly anchored. The march started. Slowly, one by one, the graduates entered the packed gym. Flash bulbs went off. Kleenex dabbed at eyes. For some parennts, it was the first graduate, their eldest; for others, it was the last, their youngest. Twenty-four seniors received their diplomas on June 5. Led by valedictori- an Shannon Saltis and salutatorian Reva Simmons, the class took their seats. The invocation was given by Rev. Bruce McConihay. Finally, time for the diplomas. Charles E. Bennett, presi- dent of the Board of Education, handed out the diplomas. With diplomas firmly in hand, the tassle on the right now, the seniors sat, happy, dazed. They were graduates. Senior band students joined the band for one last song. Then, with the music striking a familiar chord, the graduates filed out, a little more disor- derly, a lot less solemn. P Jnoctc not only included relatives and friends of the sen- iors, but also local dignitaries. Rev. Bruce McConihay, a local Listening to Rev. McConihay.

Seniors took away the biggest amount of awards, with valedictorian Shan- Awards Day non Saltis and salutatorian Reva Simmons receiving scholarships and awards in recognition for their aca- demic achievement. Following in their foot- steps, the junior class Girls’ State and Boys’ state dele- gates were noted. Also included in the ceremony were subject area recognition for out- standing students. Junior High received recognition along with sen- ior high. Receiving top hon- ors were Liz Reed, Sam Jones, Melissa Gower and Eugene Greathouse. Academics 31 Is being physically fit a thing of the past? Is gym class just all fun and games? It is much more than that. Just as the academic subjects challenge minds, phys. ed. classes challenge bodies. Lifting weights, do- ing aerobics and toning ex- ercises are methods em- ployed in class. For freshman Scott Hayes, physical fitness is a year round goal to stay in shape for baseball and bas- ketball. Others think only of exercise when they are in gym class, like Lisa Marks, sophomore. Even with lack of proper equipment or equipment in poor repair, gym class makes students think about getting fit. Keeping up but not by exercis- ing, Betty Norman completes her homework assignment instead of her exercises during gym class. Shooting for two keeps Brian Purkey, sophomore, keeps in shape by practice basketball. 32 Academics A face off. Gym classes help the students learn physical skills and team work. Pumping up. Lifting weights challenges Jay Jones, sopho- more. os he works his shoulder muscles during gym class. Academics 33 About Brain Power At least weekly, a high school student can open any newspaper and read the latest update on the condition of education throughout the nation , as well as the state of West Virginia. Is brain power really dead? Do today’s students live only for today, with no thought toward the future, let alone the past? What is the real story behind the dismal numbers and pre- dictions in the papers. According to Laura Hays, freshman, part of the problem deals with the amount of material that a student must learn. It’s no longer just reading, writ- ing, and ‘rithmatic. To- day’s students must know a lot more history, use a lot more technology, and be aware of current affairs in an ever changing world. An exhausting day for Kevin Cottrill takes its toll in a late after- noon class.

Mr. Jerry Oc- tave teaches Carla Stewart, French II student, how to play an Italian game. Born in Italy, he spoke to French classes about the cultural differences between the U.S. and Italy. A different viewpoint on American issues was presented to the Current Events class. Father John Valentine, a Catholic priest spoke to the group after the papal visit of Pope John Paul to the U.S. 38 Academics About Different Views “Open your eyes to the world around you,” seemed to be the theme of classes in ’88. Students were exposed to varying viewpoints, whether reli- gious, cultural, or political. Current Events class lis- tened to guest speaker. Fa- ther John Valentine, a Catholic priest from Clarksburg. The religious viewpoint on current topics such as poverty, hunger, celibacy and birth control were presented to the class. Opening eyes is what teacher Mr. Mike Withers is all about. Discussing with senior economics classes the current state of the Union is always at the top of his list. With ’88 being an election year, the classes watched and dis- cussed the political candi- dates and their stand on the issues. Students in French classes, through class dis- cussions, a speaker and through projects, learned the cultural differences be- tween the U.S. and Eu- rope. A world-wide view. Senior eco- nomics students listen to Mr. Mike Withers discuss the current finan- cial situations. Discussion was always en- couraged during the monthly meetings of the National Honor Society.

Shannon Saltis, senior forward, averaged 12.3 rebounds per game to keep the Hounds hot off the boards. Accu- rate shooting, with 68% from the floor of junior, Tina Spencer, guard, helped the team hold onto their leads. Rebounding and good shooting does not account for all the wins. Good ball handling by guards Bren- da Williams, senior, and Tina Spen- cer, junior, made the offense possi- ble. Together they only average 3 turnovers a game. “Our defense was a big factor to our wins. It also kept us in the games we lost because of lack of offense,” stated Coach Rod Auvil.

Athletics 43 Near Wins Taking one last look at the score- board Not wanting to go to the lock- er room. Feeling down. Thinking of what could have been done. “If only 1 could have made those lay-ups.” Losing to any team is hard to take, especially when it’s less than 10 points. Losing to Bridgeport 35- 36 and to West Fairmont 34-38 in the first matchup and 38-40 in the second round proved to be too much for the Lady Hounds to take. Losing doesn’t just affect one per- son. “It makes practice harder. Coach knows you should have won, you’re down on yourself and he’s down on you” stated senior guard, Brenda Williams. After losing to Central Preston 32-45 then winning 40-34, the pow- er and ability to beat any team is there. After beating a team like East Preston 34-32, they can’t be taken lightly. “We feel confident, but we can’t get too cocky because we know they have the ability to beat us.” explained senior forward, Shannon Saltis. Winning brings a sense of pride and a feeling of confidence. Winning may not be everything but its way ahead of what comes in second. Tournament play gets hot as Shannon Saltis, � 22, sees a clear shot against St. Francis guard. Tightening defenses.

The feel- ing of having to win; knowing what happens when the team loses. Archrivals! For the Hounds, that archrival is Notre Dame because they think “they are better than ev- erybody,” explained Kevin Cottrill, junior. No matter, an archrival game is always the toughest to play for the team. Both teams want to have that BIG victory. When playing against an archri- val, the stakes go up. “It’s time to prove to people around here we are just as good,” stated Lee Welch, sophomore. Down the court, 40 Jay Jones passes the ball to set up the of- fense during tourney action. And a win against an archrival? It boosts the confidence of not only the players, but leaves its mark with the fans as well. A loss, however, cre- ates a breakdown in confidence. In the sectional tournament, held at Notre Dame gym, these observa- tions proved to be true. “If we could have won the first game, then we would really have been psyched up for the championship.” stated Jay Jones, sophomore. But that was not to be for the Varsity Hounds, as they lost in the first game of the sectional against a determined St. Francis.

The boys varsity season was pla- gued by technical fouls. A total of 12 technicals were called on the team, putting it in danger of losing its sea- son. The team was more concerned with what the referee called instead of the the game, many fans felt. “Some people took the calls more seriously, they were more interest- ed in the calls than in the game it- self,” stated sophomore, Jimmy Williamson. Technical fouls played a big fac- tor in the season outcome. After the last technical was called, the team received a warning from the Secon- dary School Activities Commission. One more technical and they might have lost this season and faced pro- bation for the ’89 season.

Many people fail to realize the athletic skill involved in cheering. Gone are the stomp and clap rou- tines. Today’s squad flips, builds pyramids and dances to routines which can tire the best aerobic in- structor. As a squad, devoting two hours a day, five days a week takes dedication. Co-captain, Kim Smith stated that cheerleading for her, “Lasts all year. I’m always thinking about it or going around cheering or trying new tumbling skills.” The squad agrees on one thing, the importance of staying in shape throughout the year. With the flexi- bility and the acrobatics in cheer- leading as well as gaining state rec- ognition as an athletic team, cheer- ing is fast becoming the sport of the future. Get 'em Lady Hounds.

People like Roger Blake, eighth grader, complained that too many upper classmen picked on him. On the other hand.

To most seniors, this is a defi- nition of an honor student. For those students who achieve honors it gives them a feeling of responsibility, the courage and will power to be successful. “We feel that we can achieve more...and we do!” said Frankie Murphy and Shannon Saltis. However, according to Mr. Donald Kenyon and Miss Mary Ellen Paugh, National Honor Society advisers, to achieve honors is not as im- portant as “to strive to achieve honors.” All students must set high goals, he contin- ued, even if they don’t quite meet those goals immediate- ly. To achieve an honor is not the icing on the cake, but a new foundation to set new and higher goals to strive to achieve. This year’s class graduated six honor students: Shannon Saltis, valedictorian, Reva Simmons, salutatorian, Vickie Ball, Frankie Murphy, Tammy Vincent and Brenda Williams.

Gowns for girls range any- where from $70 to $200 while a tusedo for the guys will be $40 to $100. Then of course there is the extra charge of corsages, dinner, washing and gassing up the car. Even after the cost, many agree with Dwight Colebank, junior. It’s expensive but it’s worth it.” VINCENT • UPD0Q71 TAILORIN - FORMAL WEAR RENTALS - CUSTOM MADE CLOTHES - ALTERATIONS 122 S. FOURTH ST.

They go to local dealerships and look at them, dreaming of the day they can own their dream car. There are sporty cars, luxu- ry cars and recreational vehi- cles. However, the standout among high school students remains the sports cars. And even though many can- not own their own car, that doesn’t keep them from wheeling around. With motor- cycles, four-wheelers, and three wheelers hoing around, It may not be a car, but it gets you where you want to go,” explained one student. WES SHULTZ Agent 401 W.

Sometimes it comes out of necessity. Penny Pinch- ers can be found all around school. Some students hold part time jobs, such as working at McDonalds, the Mountaineer Greenhouse or babysitting. Still, there are quite a few who rely on their parents for week- end nights and fast food res- taurants. Dating, gas money, prom nights or even just hanging out with friends- all are limit- ed by money and its problems. Each class has its needs, graduation costs for seniors, car insurance for juniors and class rings for sophomores. Congratulations class of '88 IBCCID CCICID Richard Bord John L.

The students are found at McDonalds or at Hardees in just about any town or city. They can get a good sized meal for around $4.00. For speedy service, how many places will provide the service of food all ready made in a matter of minutes? All that's left to be done is choos- ing.

The most popular type of music among teens is rock. With few concerts appearing within the state, students usu- ally rely on records and cas- settes of their favorite groups for their music enjoyment. New technology also im- proved listening in the '80s. The most recent advance- ment for hard core music lovers is the compact disc players, even though their price puts them out of reach of most students. Declining al- bum sales and increasing cas- sette sales is setting new trends as the music industry goes into the '90s.

Final Report The detectives, compiling their reports as the school year came to an end, discovered, to their sur- prise, that this little school packed a lot of numbers, names, statistics and activities. The school passed the North Cen- tral Evaluation without a hitch. Aca- demics flourished in spite of the poor finances. Athletics continuet improving, relying on the strength o its youth. And what follows? Even thougl the future of FHS remains uncer tain, the secrets are UNCOV- ERED. Finished projects mark the end of the school year for the Building Construction class as Gary Peters and Mark Bray help with the con- struction. Discovered friendships re- mains one of the best parts about a school year. Aimee Moore and Chris Welch enjoy the June sun.
