Good times still exist vlemories are something that cannot alwais be captured hrough pictures or writing, but they can e kept in the nind. L984 started off with wonderful and shining attitudes but Jy 1985 they were difficult to maintain. New rules, harder classes, and a crack down on socializ- rlg in class has put a damper on students' moods. Phe glimmer that is left in the school is like a little can- lle that never goes out. The fight never dies. Students ii deep to find old enthusiasm. The Hecklers at basket- Jail games, friends going to a dance at Pat's Hall, or peo- Dle getting together at a friend's house for an evening of Trivial Pursuit or just sitting around. These evenings and Events bring students closer and it makes school more Dearable because the life from these get-togethersw is brought to school. Even though school has changed, the students do find a way around these rules to have fun. whether it is after school or on weekends. lust a glimmer of our at- titude may be left, but shining times come from this change. School is harder and good times are fewer, but students still try. Memories are made this -Ioe D' Clayton way and they usually last a lifetime. Pictures or writing may call them up again, but they can only be captured in the mind. When we look back on it all, we see that the tough times really weren't so bad. We proved to ourselves that we could get through them and come out on top. Page by Kristie Ellebracht f 3

Breakin' - With the lunch crowds watching, Rio Schonber, freshman, brings a new wave to FHS. While break dancin didn't catch on in a big way, students did enjoy watching someon who knew his stuff. Students set the mood It's the place to catch up on the latest, make big plans for the future, experience a new world and to gain knowledge that wi l last a lifetime. But the atmosphere has changed. There is no time to talk with friends, and little time to discuss plans with the counselors. On-hand ex- periences have ractically slipped by, and all, attention has centered toward the back-to-basics in education. The change in the boy's basketball record and the girls winning district sparked the spirit. - Tammy Ramsey Though the changes can't be blamed on the ad- ministration, the effects were intensely felt by students here. No exemptions, fewer absences and the many other new rules put into effect because of House Bil 72, all 4 f Opening caused students to take a good look at their studies. The student's first idea might have been to just blot off all of his classes. But after the first 69, whic meant FLUNKING, and the first week the eligibili ty slip wasn't signed, the student realized what he wa up against. While everyone had to study longer and with mor intensity, students still had the desire to have fun ant be relaxed. They just had to dig a little deeper to fin. the excitement. There were no championship football games so the made up for it in basketball season. The s irit was dy ing at pep rallies, so many seniors added, their craz antics to Friday spirit dress-up days. For many students it took awhile to realize that i would be up to them to determine the mood of th year.
