SEEN ON THE CORNER of the Fair- view State Bank, the new ’time square' gives all kinds of local in- formation (and caused a few wrecks until drivers discovered they couldn’t read it all during one light change). SHOWING THAT WORKING in the Pizza Hut is just as fun as eating there, Cindy.Chill takes orders from stu- dent teachers, Tom Weldon and Ron Paslick, while Linda Smith is busy , 'Y behind the counter. TAKING THE WHOLE block once used for a filling station, manu- facturing plant, and used car lot, the new Farmers and Merchants Bank takes shape.

Communitu Going., lip! A new bank, shopping mall, and several new homes — a completed Vo- Ag and woodworking building addition at school --a computer-operated bill- board at the time and temperature cor- ner — all were a part of a builking boom that swept our community. As part of a downtown beautification project, trees were planted on the side- walks of Main Street. Dragging Main underwent a change in route as Fair- view's own Pizza Hut gave cars a new turn around on the north end. No one will soon forget those ir- ritating blockades as Main Street ex- panded its width or the problems it caused at the Queen's Kitchen and Bowling Alley entrances! It was a time of change as the old Blue Front Hotel was moved to the park to become a museum, and the Boehs Hotel and the Old used car dealer were both tom down to make way for new growth. Fairview -- a close-knit, proud city — growing — expanding — and doing things OUR WAY. AMONG THE MANY newly-built houses in Fairview are several modem and unusual ones such as this one of the Graalmans. 22 Community

March-flpril So This Is Rain? Dusty winds blew and blew and blew in March, Hopes for rain were destroyed. Although the weather was dry, spirits were not. Spring was celebrated with a Spring Pling carnival. And a car- nival it was! With school organiza- tions sponsoring booths from a cake walk to a fortune-telling booth. Steve Vogt and Dianna Just were crowned the carnival King and Queen. Many persons left with full stomachs and empty billfolds.' Charlie Brown came to town as You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown was presented. Tammy Medley, Mike Freed and others displayed their humorous side as Peanut characters. Students also drew attention to their abilities in the annual talent show. A new baseball season began. The boys' football team may have de- cided to add girls after they saw the FHA members playing in the Pow- der-Puff game. The Jr. -Soph, tri- umphed over the Sr. -Frosh team after four quarters of non contact football. Rains finally came down-at the last of April. Instead of dampening spirits, it made them grow brighter. Seniors again took all five regional places in the Pride in Oklahoma essay contest and Mike Freed won 1st in state. FHA attended State Rally, FFA took their turn in district speak- ing and the band and chorus par- ticipated in state contests. Senior Tammie Keeton was the only real casualty other than aching bones and weary bodies on the Okla- homa Lung Association walkathon bikeathon sponsored by the year- book, Training wheels might have helped. Murder on an Arizona ranch kept all in suspense as the Juniors pre- sented The Ghosts Go West. Doreen Delaney (Angela Clinesmith) and her fiancee Gary Sampson (Bob Da- vis) travel with friends and family to an inherited ranch to talk to Kaleb Jones (Mike Comelsen) who was an old time friend of the family. They encountered friends, murders, and conspirators, but as in the movies- the good guys win. The month ended with a cele- bration called Backwards Day. Every- one wore clothes backwards and in- side out. Games and competitions held between classes challenged all in golf, volleyball, tug-o-war, tongue twisters, jumping rope, bi- cycling and officer games. And coffee prices went up ! la SETTING THE MOOD for dig Junior play, Mike Comelsen gives 'bistory of the inherited ranch to the audience. ,KE GHOST, Bob Davis, scares travelers Ward e an a Dow, Liz Steidl and Angela Clinesmith in The Ghosts Go West. 24 Student Life
