Volunteers: People Who Willingly Give Their Time Throughout the school year, many parents of Fort Hunt students lent a hand in various activities ranging from fund raising to clinic aid. These helpful, greatly appreciated people worked their hardest to keep the Fort afloat. Ester Schwentker, an office volunteer and past librarian volunteer states, “I really enjoy working here because it keeps me in contact with the school.” Mrs. Schwentker helped put the library back together after the fire. She now works as an office volunteer who, among other jobs, calls parents when students are absent. Carol Eggelston, an office volunteer of one and a half years states, “It ' s a job that has to be done, so I try to help.” Clinic volunteers helped by taking temperatures, cleaning the clinic and calling parents. Club organizations and Booster Club parents helped by raising money for beneficial and educational trips. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers for the hard work they have contributed throughout the year. rking steadily in the Career Center, Mrs Merrie Jo Perkuchin ds some important information for a student Volunteers 33

Fashionable Federals Find Fads Fabulous Several new fashion fads swept through the Fort dur¬ ing the 84 school year. This summer’s hit movie, Flashdance, inspired many students to take up the dancewear look. Torn sweat¬ shirts, both store-bought and handmade, were commonly seen hanging off female Feds. Along the same lines, sweats became the main look of the Fall season. Old favorites such as college shirts were complemented by the layered look. Guys’ fashion made a turn for the past during 1984. Ties showed to be in style for a more casual, suave touch. The practice of wearing scarves moved in during the winter months as well. Throughout the colder season both guys and girls were seen wearing scarves not only for the warmth, but also for the fashionable look. As students looked through stores for the latest fashion fads, many got a lesson in thrift because of the high prices of most of the merchandise. But even so, the supply of new clothes worn by Federals didn’t seem to dwindle. Dressed, as well as posed, in a casual way, Kathryn Bolte displays her good taste in clothes while holding an important phone conversation. Hats became the big rage at Fort Hunt as Amy Acklin demonstrates. 32 Features
