Fairview From the bowling alley on the north to the Quick Stop on the South, Main Street stretches for almost 12 blocks—a ride broken by one stop light (which makes it a 'quick trip' down main on Sat- urday night.) Fairview became a town on Sept. 16, 1893 in the opening of the Cherokee Strip. Large Cotton- wood trees which, marked the water holes, survived the perodic drouths (including the dirty thirties ) and so did the town. Our small, prosperous com- munity of 3, 365 friendly, inde- pendent people live in a setting of natural beauty provided by the Cimarron River Valley to the east and the Glass Mountains to the west. Manufacturing farm-related products are big industry. Store front remodeling contest produced a winner in Martens Drug, and the selling and closing of Boeh's Hotel brought the end of an era appro- priate in this Bicentennial year. Recreational opportunities are plentiful in abundant sunshine and a mild climate—playing foot- ball, basketball, tennis, swim- ming, picnicking in an 80 acre park, water sports on Canton Lake, and golf at a country club. Still a part of the western frontier, there are still many places to hunt, fish, and ride horses. The FFA sponsors a trap shoot and rodeo during the spring and the city's rodeo is in July. Allied organizations of Rodeo Clubs, Square Dancing and C.B. clubs are also available. A well-equipped hospital with an enlarged doctor-dentist clinic close by the fellowship home, the many beautiful, well-attended churches, local support of the summer youth program, musical, scholastic and athletic activities of the schools, clean streets and well kept lawns of the homes let visitors know that this is a town where everyone is concerned with his own and his neighbors welfare. 10 Student Life

 Those CB's are sure catching on fast, right Sylvester? 10-4 Romeo. The fad of the year enabling two songs to reach the top ten faster than you could ask for a 10- 20, produced a completely new lingo in American slang. Holding such handles as Muleskinner, Blondie, Sandman, and even Super Jock, students used these talking wonders for everything from Help! to How 'bout a Coke? In the end it was just 10- 10 til we do it again. Dramatics After seeing JAWS, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, and ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, students would have voted The Other You as play of the year. Making more money than any Senior production in years, it was a tremendous success to everyone. Enrollment When over 200 students fill out pre-enrollment sheets in May and only 150 return these sheets, there is possible chaos in August. Soph- omores in stuffed driver's ed class- es, brains in an empty analysis room and Juniors with four study halls, and those Seniors with no credits and a pile full of troubles all rush to the office on enroll- ment day, it creates a line longer than McDonalds. Exams From the first bell in the morning to the last bell at night, there was dread on the faces of everyone. TESTS. Whether it be A-C-T, P-S-A-T-M-N-S-Q-T, or just E-N-G-L-I-S-H, there were just too many for almost everyone. Student Life 9
