F. H. S. mornings begin early. Fo the band, it is marching practice during the cold, early-morning fall hours. Pant legs are rolled up, but many forget and are rewarded with soggy, sagging cuffs. Tell-tale tracks of mud and damp grass are left in second-hour classes by those who forget that old pair of loafers, cowboy boot, or P. F. Flyers. Snif- fling and shivering band members were relieved when Homecoming half time ceremony practices and marching contests were over for an- other year. Basketball girls, unlike band members, practiced every morning from August to March in the gym — with the result that the girls were rated No. 1. The morning of January 6th brought with it a change in routine forF.H.S. students. Daylight Sav- ings Time became one of the most widely discussed subjects as students walked to school in the dark, invis- ible to many drivers. (1) Getting up and coming to school in the dark due to Daylight Savings Time makes Monday morning even bluer for Jan Marshall and LaDonna Thompson. (2) Joking helps wake up Larry Rehl, Donnie Jenkins, and Ronnie Jenkins while waiting for the Vo-Tech bus. (3) Robin Keck places her usual morning call to her mother reminding her to bring her forgotten lunch, basketball clothes and instru- ment. (4) Early band practice is re- flected in Dathan Wilson's trombone. (5) Realizing the importance of prac- tice, High School basketball girls gather each morning before school to practice their shooting skills. (6) Last minute cramming before school. 6 Student Life

(3) (5) (1) Fairview’s housing project, Red Carpet Village, adds many new stu- dents to Fairview schools and bus routes. (2) Due to the riots at the McAlester State Prison, Oklahomans have to use their old license tags plus a new green sticker in the right- hand corner. Leonard Morris is shown here putting on the expensive little sticker. (3) One of the hardest- to-adjust-to changes for the citizens of Fairview is the passage of a No-U Turn ordinance for Main Street. (4) Several high school boys like Robbi Silcott work at Waldon's from 5 til 10 on school nights. (5) American History students watch Nixon’s State of the Union Address on the video tape machine.

Excepting Terry Mayes, Bruce El- well, Laurie Powers, bus riders, and other early risers, F.H.S. students seldom had the opportunity to watch the sunrise. But at least until the winter melted into spring, everyone watched the sun rise from his 1st hour class. Presenting a few problems, the 1st day of D. S. T. proved to be a nuisance to Erland Martens. Because my parents and I were used to the old time, we didn t wake up till 5 after 8. In the next 15 minutes I tried to do everything that usually takes 45. Hopping on one leg, mornings were not very pleasant for those such as Rocky Howerton, who managed to have his body deranged by an aggres- sive bull, and Ronna Patte's bum knee. As the sun rises, a new day dawns at F. H. S. and the students prepare themselves for the unpredictable, un- explainable happenings of Fairview High School.
