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
