As each student is unique, so are his or her tastes in what constitutes a good time. Among these were watching tv, play¬ ing Pacman, or going to movies. Often heard rattling the halls was the phrase, I saw the best movie!” or perhaps one heard on a Friday afternoon, Fish Market, are we there?” If one was determined enough, there was always something to do, even if it meant spending a Saturday night in various fast food places just eating and eating until final¬ ly it was time to go home. Those who couldn ' t be bothered with try¬ ing to find something to go out and do en¬ joyed the comfort of their own home, reading a good book or listening to their favorite records. So we ' ve established that everyone enjoys entertainment; the question now is what kind of entertainment did F.H. students en¬ joy the most. The only way to find this out was to ask, of course. Thus the Fortress staff took a survey, and across the page are the answers. Decisions, decisions, decisions, think Megan Fogar¬ ty and Lynn Templeman, as they decide what movie to see.

Spending another tedious day of Christmas shopping Bliss Simmons, Jennifer Caffery, and Amy Olds find Garfield tempting. The Great Escape The last few days before the winter break started were chaotic. Everywhere people were giving out Christmas cards with candy canes, decorating lockers, wearing green and red, and tying bells on their shoes. These signs reflected the seasonal spirits of all. After the last class was over, students gave a sigh of relief and were ready for a change of scenery. Thoughts of school were left behind, and new activities filled the air. The Great Escape had begun. The winter break was shorter than usual this year, but the weather was warm, and the spirits were high. Most of us spent time cat¬ ching up on our sleep. The girls caught up on their soaps and the guys put on their shorts and kicked the football around with friends. Many students visited relatives or searched (usually in vain) for a good place to ski. Federals welcomed 1983 with numerous New Year’s Eve parties, and all wished winter break would never end.
