evenings, as teachers promoted the art of keeping busy. Pride in Okla- homa and other essays, Voice of Democracy speeches, book reports, math stumpers and Spanish Dialogue, were among the numerous studies undertaken. While studying, reading, or whatever, there was one sound that could usually be heard in the background of the student's mind . . . . the radio. Some claimed it help- ed them study, while others said it helped take their minds off school, and other problems. Whatever the reason for listening, Seasons in the Sun, by Terry Jacks, Just You and Me, by Chicago, For the Good Times, by Greene, Sunshine, by John Denver, You re Sixteen, by Ringo Starr, and anything Jim Croce rate high with radio fans. While most of Fairview's students don’t like to give book reports, they do like to read. This year's favorite book was THE EXORCIST. Student Life 17 evening

With the coming of the evening came the decision of what to do with spare time. For working students, the ringing of the 4:00 bell meant the beginning of another workday. Differ- ent shifts varied from two hours to eight hours in various businesses. However, most students have other activities. Athletics began their work at 3:00, with at least 2 hours of prac- tice, as do cheerleaders and band members. After bus rides up to an hour in length, farm chores are done. FFA boys can be found at the barns getting their livestock ready for the fair. Most of the younger students stop by the drug stores before going home. A number of students preferred to stay home and watch T. V. With fa- vorite shows such as SANFORD AND SON, THE WALTONS, THE JOHNNY CARSON SHOW, and the LATE, LATE SHOW. Most are not regular watcheh but enjoy news shows and specials like the Billy Jean King--Bobby Riggs tennis match, THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MISS JANE PITTMAN and MON- DAY NIGHT FOOTBALL.

Weekend evening activities proved to be a bit different from weekday evenings. Dragging Main Street has always been a favorite pastime with the youth in Fairview, and this year was no exception. With nothing bet- ter to do, cars crowded Main Street —and hangouts along the way--as friends took the opportunity to visit and flirt. However, with the energy crisis and soaring gas prices, many young drivers were forced to limit their drags” to a minimum. Enid was a favorite place for dat ing couples who had the money and gas to go. The favorite movie in (1) The FHA Sweetheart Banquet is highlighted as President Cindy Reese crowns Dan Schneider the 1974 Beau. (2) Kim Ewbank jumps high to moti- vate the Jackets in a tough football battle. (3) FFA members John Sproul serves guests as notes are passed and memories are created. (4) Search these expressions and you'll find everything from the wild spirit of shouting fans screaming for our team to complete indifference and bore- dom. (5) As students adopt an Enid State School child at Christmas. John Kessinger records the choices.

This year at the Royal a variety of new pictures were shown, including The Poeseidon Adventure and The Cowboys.
