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

We just want to have fun . . . The song said, Girls just want to have fun ' but FLHS students knew that school was just one place for fun. Activities competed for students, while sports gave kids a chance to play and have fun. Less structured fun outside of school included going to parties, shooting the loop, working, and shopping. Concerts and movies also took up time, depending how much money was available. 1.

American literature is fun and interesting in Somrock's room. 4.
