Y ears of Hard Work Pay Off Senior members escort newly tapped members to their seats. In October, the Beta Club tapped 48 new members into the club. These new members had to meet certain require- ments set by the National Beta Clubs of America and the school. One of the require- ments was the attainment of a 90 average during their former school years. The members elect were voted on by the senior mem- bers of the club and the faculty. The tapping ceremony, which was presented before the entire student body, em- phasized the importance of working hard and striving to do work in high school to the best of one ' s ability. President Ricky Cox addresses the student body during the tapping ceremony. New members rise and repeat the pledge, officially becoming Beta Club members. 20

I I feel that our self-study last year prepared us well for the visiting committee. The activities planned for the committee went over smoothly and the students were well spoken of by the committee. Overall, I feel that the evaluation was a great success. Mrs. Nancy Roop School Evaluation Successful ★ to U-COMf VISITING [if I k 76 i SCA representatives put this bulletin board up and acted as guides for the visitors. After an extensive self-study last year, FCHS was evaluted this fall by a visiting committee of educators. During the visit, the committee members ob- served classes, met faculty and students, and evaluated the en- tire program. The week ' s high- lights were a banquet for all the school committees and the visitors, a bicentennial assem- bly, and the final committee report. The evaluation went smoothly and FCHS is an accredited member of the Southern Association for the next ten years. The students at FCHS received a special commendation from the visiting committee on their appear- ance and behavior during the committee ' s visit. 19
