Our Principal As we look back over the Fifties we see evidence of many changes — from a graduating class of 248 to one of 433, from a student body of 1299 to one of 2500, from one high school in the district to four with a total student population of over 6000. Many athletic championships and numerous awards in the fields of speech, drama, and music have been won by FUHS in- dividuals and teams. What do we see ahead in the Swinging Sixties ? The establishment of a state college within our district and the possibility of four additional high schools added to our district, greater op- portunities and challenges for every student, and we hope many successes in all fields of en- deavor.
