School activities produced many challenges for students, involving a variety of events throughout the year. The challenges may have been those of competition, as in that of the speech team or one-act play attending speech meets. Barnwarming also proved to be competitive among the junior girls, as they dis- played their skills to get FFA Sweetheart. Although the students in the all-school play did not compete like the speech team, they were still faced with the challenge of acting in front of several audiences. The members of the stage crew were also challenged by their individual jobs and responsibilities. The candidates and escorts at Flomecoming and Queen of Courts were challenged by their chance of winning queen and head escort. It was the same situation for those involved in the Mr. Irresistible cere- mony. Also challenged by their attempts to win were the players, in the football team, the basketball team, and the seniors and faculty members, in the games in which they played. Prom is always a challenge for everyone involved. It may be that of finding the right date or making it home in time the next morning, if at all. The juniors faced the challenge of raising money for the prom, deciding where, when, and how to have it, and the attempt to keep all the minor details secret from the seniors. All of these activities confront involved students with challenges, but graduation seems to be the beginning of the greatest challenge of all. It is the final challenge in high school and a new start in life for students. Whether it is plans for college, a job, marriage, or other, any choice will be the start of more challenges to come in a student’s life.
