4 Opening Working Together ... Throughout the year, various activities drew individuals together. Some of those activities were class elections, sporting events, maga- zine sales, and schoolwide assemblies. At those activities, everyone’s attention was fo- cused on a common goal. This was the excite- ment of working together. Students of every interest gathered around their anticli- pated magazine prizes. GO APE! At the Magazine Assembly, students were sur- prised with the appearance of Franklin County's own ape man. Class Elections, a vital part of the school year, stimulate much thought.

Dedicated to photography, Bobby Higgins, wearing his Hemlock Haven Photography Workshop T- shirt and carrying his camera, was a common sight at most assemblies. K flave tepiers (ort ae

—ids“=id oo: Li ne ee Sr What was “go for it’ all about? Some believed it was about muscle, endurance, and sweat. For others it was about curiosity, deep thought, and development of the mind. And some believed it was about time, tal- ent, and dedication. For the ’82-’83 school year, it took each of these points to win. Go For It! For many, “go for it” meant grasp- ing for as much knowledge as possi- ble. Often an excitement was found in learning that could not be com- pared to anything in life. To learn of different places and people and to develop new patterns of thought opened countless doors. And when doors were opened, victory became reality. “Go for it” was about all of these — muscle, endurance, sweat, curiosity, deep thought, development of the mind, time, talent, and dedication. Winning was a spirit within each In- dividual. “Go for it” was a spirit that grasped each opportunity and reached for perfection. “Go for it” was spirit that celebrated the gift of life.

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.

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
