Trust Trust was a factor upon which students and faculty hoped to build a successful school year. Therefore, it was fitting for trust to be the major theme of the opening assembly. In order to demonstrate that there was, in fact, trust between the students and faculty, the SCA conducted an exercise. From each class, a representative was chosen and entrusted with catching a faculty member. Fortunately, all catches were successful. Each class learned that trust was certainly existent at FCHS. An element which set this opening assembly apart from past assemblies was the Pledge of Allegiance and the playing of the National An- them. Neither observance had been made for several years. Another part of the assembly was the introduction of the new teachers by the SCA. Overall, the assembly was a great SUCCESS. LL AES TELE I PI TEE BEIT Standing and saluting the American flag is Rocky O'leary. Students were given the opportunity to show their pride and patriotism in school. Smiles and laughter, signs of internal happiness which dominated the opening assembly, were deeply expressed by Gene Hagwood and Alicia Wade. Happiness is ... friendly faces, new and old friends, memories and new beginnings. All of these times will be remembered by Rita Gibson. Deep in thought, Edna Angell concentrated on every as- pect of the assembly. Opening 5

Kick Off To Success Super Bowl XVI... a day in infamy for the Cincinnati Bengals, a long awaited triumph for the San Fran- cisco 49’ers, and a day of celebration for Franklin County. On March 15, 1982, Franklin County High School celebrated Dwaine “Pee-Wee”’ Board day. Guest speak- ers, former coaches, former princi- pals and Superintendent C.I. Dillon joined the school assembly in honor- ing the 49’er defensive player who graduated from F.C.H.S. in 1975. Mr. Glenn Lynch, from WNLB radio was master of ceremonies and nar- rated the program. As enormous amount of spirit was displayed and everyone seemed to enjoy the ex- citement with the exception of a few Dallas fans. Pee-Wee was presented with gifts ranging from cookies to framed res- olutions. He was showered with posters welcoming him home, and requests for dates and kisses. The latter he passed to his younger RS rs ee a Se ts 4 4 We, oe, - brother whom the girls liked almost as much as Pee-Wee. We can look back on “Pee-Wee Board Day” as a reminder that a Franklin County graduate made it to the Super Bowl, and won, and that someday one of us could have a day of recognition at Franklin County High School too. Standing nearby as “Pee Wee” signs auto- graphs is Mr. Raymond Williams, his high school quarterback. Many gifts were given to Mr. Board. Among them; a certificate presented by Mr. Samuel Hawkins, who arranged ‘‘Pee-Wee Board” day and a special trophy handcrafted by Mr. James Hall.
