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.

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

With the ringing of the 8:20 bell, another day at FHS began. The crowd in the gym corridor despersed as stu- dents went separate ways to first hour. Eye openers ranged from Driver's Ed for sophomores to Vo-Tech for Juniors and Seniors. For the new driv- ers, it was essential to be wide awake and alert as they learned the funda- mentals of parallel parking and turn- abouts. Health Careers, Business, Auto Mechanics, and Welding stu- dents boarded the bus for Vo-Tech at 8:25 each morning. Most students were extremely pleased with their year at Vo-Tech saying, It was the best part of my day and You work at your own speed and you aren’t always in the classroom. One of Un- exciting things that happened this year was when Wayne Hubble and Rocky Howerton hung Doug Colby up by his belt on the hydraulic lift. With the start of second hour came the daily announcements and devotions, both of which underwent a change this year. Student Council
