Homecoming, football games, bas- ketball games, track meets, plays, banquets, school pals, and learning experiences were all a part of it. From 8:30 A.M. to 4 P.M. to evenings spent working on floats, studying, and attending meetings, we made memories. Mem- ories that are cherished and invaluable . . . memories of friendships, hard work, and fun.. . memories that are now within us. The Year- book Staff has captured that “part” in the 1968 Yellowjacket. We will give you a pic- ture tour through the year of 1968, a year which came only once with memories which happened only once. We were a part of that year, a part of those activities, a part of those friendships, a part of those memories ... we were a part of Fairview High School.

Taking yearbook pictures, spurning our teams on to victory, or in the classroom, her enthusiasm is admired by all. We, the Yearbook Staff, are indeed proud to dedicate this 1968 Yellowjacket to Mrs. Jimmie Lou Ward, our yearbook sponsor. Administration -i h'-H f 7 DIRECTING THE ADMINISTRATION of Fairview schools is Superintendent Allen A. Aaron. Mr. Aaron wonted closely with the school board in for- mulating and carrying out school policies. He also guided the activities of all three schools. HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Max K. Moyers, top, and grade school principal J. D. Cunning- ham coordinate the activities and schedules of their schools. They are always concerned with problems and decisions of the faculty and stu- dents. And their determination to excel is evident by tne schools' progress. Administration Headed 8 RESPONSIBILITY TO THE PUBLIC for school affairs weighs heavily on the shoulders of the 1967- 1968 school board members, Edwin W. Kliewer; George Keck, Jr., clerk; W. U. Gaylord, pres- ident; Alden A. Glasgow; John Schoeppel, vice president. To meet the growth of Fairview's Public School System, the school board has undoubtedly been successful in the construction and operation of the Chamberlain School.

And this is the fourth year in a row the class of '70 has placed third in float competition. This is also the first year that Fairview High School has had two sophomore cheerleaders. But the sophomore speciality, as dem- onstrated at the class parties, float building, the Christmas party, and Twerp Week, is knowing how to have fun.

Ninth-graders account for twenty members of the high school band, twelve members of the high school pep club, twenty members of the FHA, and seventeen members of the FFA. In sports competition, Frosh squads proved their potential for future Yellowjacket teams. The junior high girls’ basketball team took first place trophy in the Fairview Junior High Tourna- ment with the boys winning second place. The Freshman football team gained valuable expe- rience under the coaching of George Eubanks. The school year proved the Class of '71 to be staunch supporters of the Yellowjacket tradi- tion.
