EDITOR'S NOTE: By now I’m sure that almost everyone is wonder- ing why someone's feet are on the cover. To put it simply, it is this book's theme. The decision to use it as the theme did not come easily. We wanted a theme that would remind the reader of the personal- ity and attitude of FHS throughout the school year. Although most students did not take their home- work lightly, they didn't let it slow them down either. They still took the time to enjoy other parts of high school life, such as getting involved in orga- nizations and athletics and going out with their friends on weekends. The students helped to create a very easygoing and relaxed atmosphere that made it fun to get an education. We decided that a student with his feet up on his desk would best represent our theme. We spent many hours in the library trying to put this idea into words, but everything we found either didn't fit our idea or sounded too much like a stale cliche to have any meaning at all. Because of this, we decided to use a real picture as our theme. And that is why the feet are on the cover. We are all very proud of FHS. I hope that this yearbook will help you to recall many fond memo- ries of Fairfield. 1. Studying for his semester finals is Brad Holst. 2. Sophomore Brent Bower takes off for a big drive. 3. Pep band members Paul Fritz, Don Wittmer, Jaymi Meyers and Chris Garlough never let basket- ball games have a dull moment. 4. Clowning around at an Ottumwa game are soph- omores Steve Luckman, Matt Robinson and Todd Fischer. 5. Senior Kelly Ogden finds out the hard way that skiing isn't as easy as it looks. 6. Homecoming week's Crazy Day gave seniors Steve Septer and Randy Martin a chance to let their true personalities show. 7. Juniors Juanita Long and Laura Waugh wait for the rebound to come down.
