SCHOOL David Seider had a farm ... E I E I O. If practice makes perfect. Mike Kandall will be the next Arnold Palmer. Contrary to popular belief, life does not end outside the doors of MHS. In fact, what little free time a student has is spent in activi- ties which have nothing whatsoever to do with school. Many students have jobs which require a great amount of their spare time. Some of the activities in which students participate include: going to the Fulton County Fair, playing golf at the Great Cove Golf Course, visiting friends, and of course, just goofing off. Many people believe that there is nothing to do in McConnellsburgi however, there are many activities which can be exhiliarating or relaxing, all you have to do is look for them. You would think life out of school, without bells to tell you where you should be or how much time you have to get there, would be dull but it is the time that most, if not all. students look forward to.

Below Left — Who do you know that has this on his arm? Left You can't tell because this is a black and white picture, but Darren is carrying a flourescent-pink bag. Below Untied hightops with bright laces are very big this year NEW THINGS AT MCCONNELLSBURG A school the size of MHS in a place with the population of the McConnellsburg area probably is not the place to look for the latest fashions or the most recent fads. Some people (even a few that live here) will tell you that we are really backward in these two areas. In fact, you may have heard jokes relating to the Yo-Yo and the Hula Hoop a few years back. That, of course, is not in the least bit true. While we certainly are not at the vanguard of the fashion world, we are not extremely primitive in dress. People from our school spend time with friends or relatives in cities outside Fulton County or spend summer vacation in another part of the country. These lucky folks bring some of the new styles back to the rest of us. Also, we have had people from other countries with us over the last three years, and they show us the styles in other parts of the world. Taking all these things into consideration, it is plain that McConnellsburg High School is not too far behind the rest of the world. Maybe one of the people who see what its like outside Fulton County will bring us one of those digital watches or Ru- bik's Cubes we’ve heard about. Student Life 17
