Fort Hunt High School - Fortress Yearbook (Alexandria, VA)

mmmm Everyday of the busy school session, students come to Fort Hunt High School to learn, study, socialize and participate in ac¬ tivities. The high school is its own world, with all of the students’ lives basically revolving around it. However, there does, of course, exist a world and life beyond the doors of Fort Hunt. This world is, in fact, one of the most important aspects of an individual’s high school education. It is here that one is free to pursue his or her own interests, be it a special hobby, partying and having a good time or, perhaps most importantly, seeking and hopefully finding, a new job. This Life Beyond the Fort helps to prepare one for the challenges and respon¬ sibilities that promise to suddenly become important matters in everyone ' s life after graduation; challenges like forming a separate life from one’s parents, seeking employment, attending college and generally experiencing the world as an adult, an ex¬ citing but frightening prospect. For now, The Fort is a Federal’s major focus in life; but as time marches on and one class after another leaves its doors forever, the experiences an individual has gained in his Life Beyond” will enrich and aid in his future. After a day of rowing, this gang heads for more en¬ joyable activities. Working her fifth straight hour, Lou Bustle calmly deals with another overring. Mesmerized by Pac-Man, Eileen Serafin spends hours eating up those little-bitty dots.
