This small school was in beautiful surroundings and everybody loved him so he should have been quite happy. BUT . . . there just were not enough children to make his halls gav with laughter as he wanted them to be. All the students were scattered so far apart that even though they really wanted to come and make the little school happy, only a very few who lived close could come.

7 vi a tnifc actx , cAool... Now let’s all clamber aboard Wheezer and take a brief journey through the past, as we review our years at FLHS. May it be a pleasant trip and may all our memories be happy ones. The train chugs merrily along, re- minding us once again of the many exciting events, the classmates, the teachers that we learned to know so well. Here the games and contests pass in colorful panorama before our eyes. The victories are thrilling, but now and then a defeat makes our loyal little train puff in despair. Oth- er extra-curricular activities, make school life a constant buzz of excite- ment and unusual happenings, plays and athletics provide diversion for students with interest in these fields. A glimpse of homecoming brings back the suspense of the queen's elec- tion and the hilarity of the parades. That was indeed a happy day for Wheezer and his passengers. What can be next on our sight- seeing tour? Oh, yes — the lowly un- der classmen! What fun we had with them! And now we are coming in sight of that last great day —Com- mencement. The door to the future lies wide open before us. What does it hold in store? We shall see. . . . 3
