A New Year With the leadership provided by the faculty and the cooperation from the students. the new year was off to a great beginning. As ev- eryone joined into the swing of things the excitement and tension at the newness slowly ebbed away, but the joy and happiness remained. All of the changes in the i982-S3 year, a new headmaster, some new teachers, and many new students. made the school seem different. Even though there were a great many changes, one thing remained the same. This is the desire to learn and to be prepared for whatever is to come in the future. With the guidance of Dr. Turner and new teachers came new ideas and features. One addition was the assembly held every Thursday. This gave students and teachers a break from the usual school day and pro- vided a chance to relax as well as learn. Many new courses were of- fered including creative writing. guidance and testing, psychology. health. and communications. ln the lower school, changes also took place. For the first time these stu- dents were able to participate in Spanish and art.

look-Uut I!! The I982 Fall Festival started off with a splash with the return of the ever-popular dunking booth. The booth, indeed, was the main at- traction. Young and old alike gath- ered around to submerge Coach El- lis, Coach Trammell, Eddie Wells, Bob Dunn, Butch Gill, and several of FRA's seniors into ice cold water. The Fall Festival, though it re- quired planning and much hard work, was a big success. The event was held for the first time on a Sat- urday from four to ten. Several fac- tors contributed to the festival's success. There were a variety of games - video games, bingo, and cake walk. The Sweet Shop and Christmas Shop attracted scores of people. For those brave and daring souls, who wished for a little excite- ment, the seniors prepared a spooky Horror House . No one could forget the main event of the night - the crowning of the Fall Festival kings and queens. Bake sales, raffles, and car washes were some of the methods used in raising money. Each class had a king and queen representative, but only the one raising the most money could be crowned. From the lower school, the king and queen were Todd Lane and Tiffany Sherrer, re- presenting Mrs. Akins' third grade. The upper school king and queen were Waide Fleming and Lisa Bent- ley, representing the ninth grade. I. Coach Ellis is ready and willing to take another plunge into ice cold water. 2.
