Summer Oh, those great summer days! They break the dull routine of getting up early every day, taking those impossible tests, and eating school lunch. Summer is a time for running barefoot in the hot July sun, taking a refreshing plunge in the city pool, or perhaps keeping up with the suspense and drama of daytime soap operas. For some, summer is a chance for more hours at work, the beginning of a new summer job, or attending camp. The long awaited for summer vacation breezes by much too quickly, for that first ring of the bell on that hot August day rings in another challenging year. Baud Zrip Zip-a-dee-do-dah, zip-a-dee-ah, My-oh-my those were hot summer days. The band skipped through the streets of Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, and Phoenix to this well memorized tune during their trip west into the states of Califor- nia and Arizona. The smog filled Santa Ana winds of the Califor- nia coast made for a very hot and dusty stay in Los Angeles. Tired band members enjoyed luxur- ious accommodations and wonderful meals with plenty of fresh pineapple and watermelon at the Hyatt Hotel. Many experienced the thrill of see- ing the ocean for the first time. The highlight of the trip for everyone was marching in the Lions International Convention where they placed seventh out of thirty-five bands and the twirlers took third. 1. Putting finishing touches on the new Driver's Ed. door is Fairfield School employee, Keith Pearson. 2. Brenda Carolyn found a cool summer time job working at the Tastee Freeze. 3. Janet Wadle, Zena Howard, Jenny Holmes, Stephanie Hall, Tammy Oakes, and Kathi Brust enjoy Disneyland Park and the California sunshine. 4. Band members show appreciation for the work Mr. Prill did in organizing the band trip by presenting him with an engraved watch. 5. Keeping a watchful eye on all swimmers is Fairfield Mu- nicipal Pool life guard Julie Litton. 6. Luggage — »vj5 a persistant vacationing foe of every band member.

Ag Show brings memories of friends gathering around a show box to play cards, listening to KRNA on the radio, and laughing at a city girl dodge the pud- dles as she walks through the cattle barn. Inevi- tably, they would break the monotony with a water fight when the temperature started to scorch. These four days of hard work, relaxation, and accomplishment give the 4-H member a true sense of pride and satisfaction. Kegistration Old and new students experienced the usual cha- otic registration day in August that brought the beginning of school one week closer. A mad rush followed as everyone tried to schedule their first choice of teachers, classes and hours. Frustrations and headaches were only part of the dilemma for sophomores; juniors and seniors had registered already so some classes were filled. Ta- bles for these unlucky sophomores were scattered around where they frantically reworked their schedules. Finally, after standing in a long line to be checked out, students returned home to live out the rest of their days of freedom. 1. The end of summer brings students to the begining of school — and registration. 2. Senior 4-H meml er Gretchen Wells models her blue rib- bon clothing selection at the 4-H Fashion Revue. 2. Pinning high hopes on this pen of porkers are Bill Goehr- ing and Jim Stone. 4. Discussing schedule changes are sophomores Chong Kwak and Jenny Herzog. 5. Sweat, groans, and stinging rope burns were all elements ol the annual tug-of-war at this years' Jr. Ag Show. 6. Colleen Schillerstrom's first high school assignment was to decide whether to register for Driver's Ed 4th or rth hour. 7. Many Ag Show memories belong to the livestock shower stall: water fights, meeting old friends, talking to your steer, and hamming it up for the camera.
