Fairview High School - Yellow Jacket Yearbook (Fairview, OK)

Barely recuperating from a happy New Year students re- turned to school for meetings, basketball games, and semester tests. January could be called Basketball Month because of the 56 games played. During the High School In- vitational Tournament, of which girls were champions, and the B girls were consolation champs, the pep club held a chili supper to raise money to buy sweaters. Although our boys didn't win, they played well against several outstanding, state-bound teams. At the Sayre Girls' Basketball Tournament, the girls shot their way to a second place, bested only by Kingfisher. On the other side of the state, the boys battled their way through bad referees and cold shooting to provide thrilling basketball games. As the regular basketball sea- son came to a close, high school basketballers made preparations for the district tournament. Al- though the boys were defeated by Alva, the girls dribbled their way to the finals of the area tournament where they were de- feated by Tuttle. February seemed to be award month this year. Cindy Wright, senior basketball player, was chosen as a Jim Thorpe Award finalist. FFA President Mark Elwell was selected to receive the Dekalb Award for his out- standing work in FFA. The Betty Crocker Family Leader of Tomorrow was Susan Boehs and because of her art talent, a pencil drawing of Susan Janzen's art was exhibited at the Oklahoma City State Fairgrounds Art Center. Lover's Month was cele- brated by the FHA Sweetheart Banquet. With memories of events that were Precious and Few surrounding members and their dates, Mark Elwell was crowned FHA Beau by Pres. Ronna Patee. Band members were busy with practices at the end of February, meaning their first public con- cert, was approaching. Janice Ranson was chosen by the FHA to represent Fairview at the National FHA Convention in Washington, D.C. After an accident at the grade school, a new safety patrol system was started. This is designed to help make school crossings safer for children. Candidates chosen by the Fairview FFA Chapter for the 1975 Sweetheart are Terri Cravens, Junior; Robin Keck, Junior; Beau Stewart, Sophomore, and Kim Nightengale, Freshman. Student Life 17
