LOADING WOOD for the Bonfire Danny Cofer and Meredith Chip- man find that small sticks are easier than large logs. TAKING HER CHANCE at rebuttle Mrs. Burns responds to previous stories of her teaching years as Mr. and Mrs. Denton, Trayce Bradford, and Mike Freed look on. ■ But lady luck had a different game plan. Amid screaming fans, flying popcorn, and supportive cheer- leading and despite brave efforts by each member of the jacket team, the Laverne tigers achieved a crush- ing victory. The wounds of defeat, however, were quickly healed for the next night's Homecoming Banquet. Mrs. Geraldine Bums was the honoree of the student council sponsored event. Oma Gay Nichols, Kris Ewbank, and retired principal Max Moyers were guest speakers who told of their ex- periences with our devoted English teacher, Mrs. Burns. What is Homecoming? In Fairview ..... it's excitement! Homecoming 13

fans A Whole Ibuin Cant Be Wrong! Fans—they are a unique breed of man. Like most other people, they put their pants on one leg at a time and use a knife, fork, and spoon to eat with, but then the comparison stops. A true fan goes to coffee the morning after a tough game, and talks to anyone who will listen about that great defensive stand or that close call in the endzone or the win- ning touchdown. A fan may be almost anyone. He may be a parent, who not only travels to all the games to towns like Laverne and Elk City, but they also wash socks and pants everyday after practice and mend the holes in war-weary game jerseys. When Fri- day night arrives and the players romp onto Eubanks Field, a roar fills the aii with enthusiam. No, it isn't Owens Field in Norman or Lewis Field in Stillwater, but it is just as meaningful to those who are parti- cipating. If a first down is barely missed or a ball is fumbled, a Jacket fan holds his head high in anticipation of better things to come. When there is a choice of a blue or orange pantsuit or shirt—a fan chooses orange- Just the thing to wear when we go to the state play- offs. Yes, a fan is unique. He could be a local merchant or famer or doctor. Whoever a Yellow jacket fan is, he is a fan—the rare type of in- dividual who takes the good and the bad, and makes it all seem like a victory. AS FOOTBALL SEASON rolls around, sports devotees get out their coats, blankets and whatever else will keep them warm and head for the nearby stadium. From warm weather at the first games to nearly 10° at Laverne for the last game, yelling kept all warm. IF LOOKS of concern would help any, the team would be unbeatable with the help of Chuck Neu- feld, Kyle Williams and John Curtis. Student Life
