Behold We Stand at the Doors Many ideas, many forces influence students as they strive to achieve the goals they and others have set. These ideas and forces come to us as images of doors. As we stand before these doors of FCHS, we realize that we may have to rap many times. But as each door is opened, we become involved in scenes that shall never leave us: a lecturing teacher, a basketball game, a slow lunch line, the locker room hustle. These doors vary in size, shape, and color; but, more- over, in learning, knowing, and living. They are doors of black— colorless and opaque; and of gold— bright and sunny. They are doors like none we have seen in the past, and different from those we shall see in the future. Each door has a special meaning to us. Be it the time we walked out of class with an F on a test, or the time we first walked into school as an upperclassman, each time we enter upon or walk from a threshold, something significant happens to make a mark in our lives. These are the doors of our school— some we can see and touch and some we can only visualize. We follow students from door to door and find doors of buses, lockers, classrooms, the gym, the cafeteria, the locker room. And too, we find these to be doors of why, when, and how. The doors of our school— some we open many times, others we open just once, and some are beyond our reach. 2

- Many Dimensions of Human Expressions From 9 A.M. to 3 P. M. , six periods a day, young learners at FCHS become involved in academic work, laughter, and the unexpected. The vitality of a student ' s world comes alive with such scenes as the torrid action of an Elizabethan drama, the inescapable battle to reach class on time, the longed-for excused absence from class to do the thousand and one things that only students can think of, and finally at the end of a long, tedious day only the echo of footsteps remains. The halls are quiet and almost deserted at the end of another hectic school day. Future voters gain experience as they participate in mock state elections supervised by the government classes. The facial expressions of members of the Homecoming Court reveal that all is not well on the gridiron. The cheerleaders ' work is never done. Not only do they brighten the teams ' spirit, but also the dull gray of the goal posts. 4
