Growing more hair became the in thing for followers of the new life style. 6. The New York Mets proved they were for real by winning the World Series. 7. An SDS demonstrator is punched by another student as resentment mounted against disruptive tactics of radicals. 8. The year 1969 will be recalled as the historical moment when man from the planet Earth first landed on the Moon. 9. Chosen Miss America of 1970 was Pamela Eldred from the state of Michigan. 10.

Walker, Missouri Tourism Commission Zhe Ziger FAIRMONT HIGH SCHOOL Fairmont, Nebraska Jn 'Dedication Holm Bettger The students of FHS wish to express their appreciation of Mr. Bettger by dedicating the 1970 TIGER to him. Mr. Bettger entered WWI on September 22, 1917, and was discharged in June 1919. He married in April 1921, and has four children-John, Robert, Gilbert, and Dorothy, who are all Fairmont Alumni. Mr. Bettger farmed until 1946, then trucked awhile. He began his custodial work in the Fairmont schools in 1953, retiring in 1963. To the students of this time, his would probably be the most familiar face. He knew most of the students well and we are glad he was here to help us. 2 To Mr. Bettger we say THANKS! - Superintendent; Richard Ekwall (B.A.) U. of Nebr. (M.E.) U. of Minnesota.
