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

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.

President Laura Bostwick was the first girl in the history of FHS to give an- nouncements each morning. Devo- tions were transferred from the FHA girls to Mrs. Burns' 5th hour Speech class as each member was scheduled a week at a time on a voluntary basis. While Mr. Pierce's 3rd hour In- ternational Problems class discussed the Arab Oil embargo and Watergate. Mr. Sellar's Biology class took up the study of snakes and other specimens. Ronny Rich summed up Biology with I like that class because you get to play with snakes and slimy things. With the coming of 4th hour, stomachs began to growl and the excitement of noontime deflected many students from their studies. However, Mrs. Burns' and Mrs. Wed- els' Business English classes, as well as others, worked until the very last second before the ringing of the bell. (1) Calvin Snyder and Mike Tucker discover the joys of snow and ice during a break in semester tests. (2) Vanessa Robinson washes her paint brush as Jack Howell examines an art display in this interesting double-ex- posed picture. (3) The sole girl in Drafting I, Laura Bostwick, is deeply engrossed in drawing a plate. (4) Ac- cording to the Yearbook survey taken in fall, this musical assembly by Northern College was a favorite with • students. (5) Jacket Editor. Randy Levings and assistant Editor Susan Boehs arrange, rearrange, write and re-write pages of the 1974 yearbook. (6) Managing a study hall and teach- ing five English classes proves to be a full-time job for Mrs. Gail Wedel after breaking her wrist during prepa ration period. Student Life 9
