Doors Open a nd Close on Many Worlds of FCHS Nine months of school? The idea was inconceivable as the 1965 school session began on a warm, hazy day in August. Two semester examinations, unexpected snow vacations, and school on Saturdays seemed to belong behind some big awesome door that only other people would open. But time passed: assignments were com- pleted, pages of textbooks were read and reread, and FCHS students and teachers accepted the reality that the doors being passed through daily were the doors to their world. Students pass through the doors of FCHS on their home- ward way The patience of FCHS teachers in explaining materia results in a good teacher-student relationship. The door is open to all as students gather around the piano for a few re- laxing moments. 10 Long parades and football shows on cold nights make standing at attention difficult for Drum Major Gus Howell.

Academics Be it the opening and closing of a classroom door, a textbook, or a school bus door, the aim is the same: the acquisition of knowledge. A school is judged by the students who pass through its doors: the students who can ' t stop asking questions because they are eager to learn both the what and why, and those who remain silent pondering all that has been said. Teachers are a vital part of the learning process as they open and attempt to push wide the doors of learning so that the minds of their students will possess the keys for opening the doors of the future. 11
