Merchandising Project Turns “Trash” to Cash School spirit... an enigma for the people who have it and cannot understand why others do not. Alan Anderson’s marketing class came up with plans to market spirit. Trash bags were turned into pullovers which read “FL 1” on the front and “Trash the Bengals” on the back. The students also distributed and produced a fifteen yard banner for students’ names. The concept was to put the names of the entire student body on a banner that read RANGER ZONE. Not only did the students learn the stages of marketing a product, they experienced success and made enough money to cover the cost of the materials. Dr. Cooper supports the “trash” project. Craig Bennet models one of the many bag designs. Collecting the money was easy compared to the time put into the bags and banner. Brooke Kittelson, one of the project leaders, joins Kim Kauls and Tommy Ramboldt to model the product. Mr. Reynolds gave support to the innovative class project. Student Life

Because the bags were hand lettered, each design was unique.

Do You Really Study? Do you spend twenty minutes studying each subject each night? Students at FL have a broad definition of studying. Some say, “I get the basics done before I leave school so I don’t have to carry any books home. I guess that means I don’t study.” On the other extreme is the girl who works to get the basic assignments done in school, yet carries all her books home every night to review. Her reason? “I don’t cram before tests, so I am always ready.” From teachers’ points of view, several noted that there is more to school than just finishing assigned work. Study means going beyond the assignment and checking yourself for understanding. One of the drawbacks of studying together is getting off track and talking. It is easier to keep up grades if your friends use time to study too. 12 Student Life
