Boredom evades F.L. I'm bored. What is there to do is a question that seems to be well- answered at FLHS. For some reason, the students found many ways to fill the waking hours of their days. Studying and going to classes took about six hours. The rest of the time was filled with activities offered by the school. From two thirty to five o'clock sports and clubs were busy. This left time from five to midnight for studying. But the students polled said they do not have homework to fill those hours. Some said they have to study two to three hours at the maximum. Others said they can get all their work done in a half hour. Another group said they have jobs after school and cannot find enough time to study. A final group claimed they have jobs because school is just a formality and their real obligation is to their bosses and to making money. All students polled claimed they tried to leave time every day to be with friends and to go out or to talk on the phone. Interestingly, very few mentioned time that they spent with families. 2 12

Color invades senior high Color was the key word in all areas of school. Rooms received new coats of paint in colors instead of cream and yellow. Hairdos, especially on dress-up days, matched the rainbow. Fingernails turned purple, jeans became striped with many colors, and shoes matched any hue. Camouflage pants, shirts, and jackets continued to be popular. Announcement and signs were posted on colorful paper. And all styles seemed to be as colorful and varied as usual. On most days a color photographer had little trouble finding colorful subjects to shoot. 1. All styles and colors of clothes could be seen on students boarding the bright orange buses 2 Twin punkers use good use of color in all parts of their outfits 3.
