Nationwide, December was full of activities and happenings. Nelson Rockerfeller was chosen Vice-President, there was a meteor shower, and a partial eclipse. At Fairview High, students were giving book reports, playing basketball, and working math problems. With semester exams approach- ing in January, studying was crammed between preparing for the Christmas program and Christ- mas shopping. Another successful Christmas program featured skits, songs and a bell choir. This was the second year that students participated in giving gifts to the students at Enid State School. Free time, what little there was, was spent eating pizza, seeing The Longest Yard, and relaxing in sneakers and levis. Cagers began their season at the beginning of December. Fans were not disappointed with the action this year. Proving them- selves again, the girls played out- standing ball games as the defend- ing Class 2A State Champs. Thrilling is the only word des- cribing boys' basketball. Even though they weren't winning every game, the effort produced was tremendous. As mothers and dads had near heart attacks, student supporters were hanging over the rails at all games. As they were going home for Christmas vacation, students' heads were filled with dreams of new cars, new clothes. New Year's, and of course, semester exams when they returned.
