P s OUR SPi LE to be competitive . VVhether in combat with other classes or against arch-rivals from other towns, there was always the desire to compete — to win if possible. 'Win- ning isn't important — trying to win is.' — Don Rippetoe Fairview High School Fair view, Oklahoma 73737 All tIie_____ —iNqREdlENTS he RE There’s much to say about the place where 249 people spent 180 days a year. Some days were fourteen hours long, while others passed quickly beyond our memories. For 36 weeks our lives revolved around the classrooms and halls of these buildings. We’ve been told by those who are new here that our school isn’t like any other. We do things differently — better even — than most. We still do the traditional things like football, basketball, band, FFA, and FHA, but there is something about the way we do those things. It’s like the difference between regular and superstyle pizza. It’s still a pizza but one is thicker and livelier and has many more ingredients. 2 Opening CONTENTS Student Life 6 Academics 30 Sports 48 Organizations 72 People 94 Index 122 AFTER HER MOTHER lets her off Michelle Freed walks to the door of the high school for early morn- ing basketball.

Opening 3 w?'U JaI(E ours $upERSTyLe We didn’t always come out on the bright side though. There were some ‘regular pizza’ times — the time the old activity bus had a fire — for the third time in a row, or the football team had a losing season, or Typing I had the daily warmup lessons due. The ‘usual’ things kept us busy and we let them fill the gaps between our special ‘superstyle’ moments. These were events that could only happen once in a while — even if luck was on our side. We treasure the moments when the boys’ basketball team won districts, when the choir made ones at State, and when the seniors walked through the arches at graduation. What made it so ‘super’? It wasn’t the addition of a game in the win column or another trophy in the trophy cases. It was the emotion that went into those moments. All the . time and work that was put into an endeavor had finally paid off. That was our style.

We had other things to fill our time. Dragging Main in spite of high gas prices and shortages took it’s toll of our time in the evenings when there were no ball games or scheduled events. At lunch we relaxed in the lobby waiting for the class bell. We gossipped in the halls between classes to get caught up on ‘who did what, with whom, where.’ Student life at FHS had something to offer everyone and everyone had something to offer student life, because . . . that’s our style.

What a fabulous time ! It arrived like a turtle, creep- ing slowly until the very last day of school arrived. Then, like Paul Re- vere's famous cry, the news spread throughout Fairview, ' School' s out! ,1 and the good times began to roll. As soon as school ended there were students everywhere looking for jobs. Most did so because they wanted to do so. Others, after finding their friends had jobs, also found work, whether they wanted to or not. Days off were spent bugging friends who had to work, swimming at the pool or at Canton Lake. Lazy-day weekends were also spent at the lake tanning on the beaches, water skiing, or generally soaking up the sun's rays. Evenings were a blast! Cruising' Main Street — checkin' out the bank parking lot — hangin' out at the Piz- za Hut or Sonic to see who had the loudest stereo — playing football, tennis, soccer, or basketball — checkin' out anyone who went par- kin' — Chinese firedrills at the sto- plight , movies in Enid, concerts in OKC — all these went together in a special way. As the summer faded in its glory, we realized that our vacation was al- most over and rushed madly around town buying school clothes, saying goodbye to last years seniors, off to college, or starting two-a-day foot- ball practices. It was summer days, Fairview style and though the days drifted away, the style remains forever.

' Lisa Cravens coaxes two year old John Ward during his 12:30 Swimming lesson. Summer 9 10 Welcome back feed Enrollment day, August 24th, came only too soon for most. Mass con- fusion describes the day perfectly. A line extending halfway down the hall from Mr. Denton's office, consisted of students wanting or needing their sched- ules changed. Filling out forms, parking permits, and schedules caused the most headaches. Students drifting in and out of the school building, drifting in and out of the corridor made this year's en- rollment a puzzle to the new freshmen. It was a fun-finding-new-friends-day and a get together with all the old friends. Back to the same old grind explains the first day of school; although, small flames of excitement in students did cause them to wonder what the new year had in store. At the end of the first day, the teachers as well as the students could tell this would be a unique year indeed; and one that would truly have a style of its own. New things such as students, teachers, carpet in the halls, and a five minute break between third and fourth hour to talk to friends, drink cokes, and sign annuals are all part of the new activi- ties. Another new event was the screen- ing for scoliosis on September 28th. The Major County Fair provided en- tertainment of whirling rides, boothes for prize winning, and the stock shows for anyone of any age. Senior, Stephanie Dahlem, received the honor of Miss Fairview on September 15th, while Rob Wilson gained player of the week in the Enid Morning News on September 19th. The marching band was awarded first place in class 'A', and also sweepstakes trophy at the OSU Homecoming parade November 9th. This was the first time a class 'A' band won the sweepstakes in a major parade in Oklahoma. The beginning of the year was unusu- ally busy, but tiie high school hotline (227-3755) kept the students and the community up on the latest news. GIRLS CAN WIN too ! proves Debbie Stepp to Darryl Smith, Vince McGol- den, and Kenny Wanzer at the Major County Fair.

Traditional — No. Choosing the theme of Super Heroes was the 'first' best thing to set the mood of homecoming. The week started out rather slowly some thought, but mass confusion still occurred on the Wednesday night before the game with everyone trying to get windows, floats, and skits finished to perfection. The 'next best thing wras to see every- one flaming with spirit at the bonfire Thursday night to send our mighty he- roes to bum out the Sayre Eagles Friday. Before the battle of hero vs. villian came the traditional crowTiing of the homecoming Queen with the band in formation on the field, the Queen can- didates Senior Cindy McDaugale, Junior Angela Kliewer and Sophomore Susie Stevens were escorted to the field by Captains Rob Wilson Mark Van Meter and Rick Worley. Cindy McDaugale was crowned by kissing Captain Rob Wilson and accom- panied by the applause of the crowd, the three girls made the traditional ridp around the football field. FLANKED BY attendants Jr. Angela Kliewer and Soph. Susie Stevens, new Homecoming Queen, Cindy McDaugale proudly wears her crown. PRACTICING THE SPLITS EVERY Wednesday all summer paid off in the 1978 Follies when the chorus line danced at the Homecoming Banquet. SUSPENSE OVER, ROB WILSON crowns Sr. Cindy McDaugale, queen of the '78 Homecoming. 12 Homecoming So the hero story continues with our 'super heroes' coming through with a final victory of 15-9 over the Eagles (the first homecoming victory since '70.) A fancy celebration was held Saturday night with the 1978 Homecoming Follies Banquet. Following the banquet feast, catered by the George Keck family, the evening entertainment consisted of a chorus line, songs, 'funny' jokes from Rick Worley — a reasonable facsimili of a Las Vegas show. AS THE SCHOOL SONG is played by the band in the spirit line, the fired-up su- per heroes run onto the field ready to defeat Sayre.

Homecoming 13 Dinner theater is a smash Whcle school involved An evening of mystery and good food for the community was the result of teamwork by the whole school. The speech class worked for weeks on the mystery play Great Caesar's Ghost. The ghost seemed to appear wherever rehearsals were held (as well as during the play.) Near disas- ters occurred as the ghost was blamed for unmemorized lines, missing play properties, and absentees at prac- tice . Overcoming stage fright was no problem for the hams in speech class, and ad-libbing came natural to Jim Schwind and Phil Gooch. Continual admonitions from the di- rector, Mrs. Bums, were given to the girls on how to sit on stage while wearing a dress, and to the play cast not 'to bunch up.' Deem the play a success but over- look the ghost's unattached strings, missed cues, forgetfulness, etc. With the help of Mr. Alig, Mr. play director, and Mr. Bowers, the shop students measured the stage and built new scenery flats. Unfortunate - ly, this play was being performed at the Fair Building and the ceiling was a foot lower than the flats were tall. Two days before the play they quick- ly devised new flats from refrigerator boxes and the Ag. students painted them, while the play cast fretted and fumed — and practiced. Yearbook photographers retook pic- tures four times for the program that the art dept. designed. (It turned out great.) The biggest jobs fell on the FHA girls as they planned the meal, fixed the food, set up the tables, and served the dinner to 120 very im- pressed people. 14 Dinner Theater 'i m TOP ABOVE : WONDER FILLS Lll Miller's and Leslie Curtis' minds when they try to figure out why Cindy McDaugale and Jimmy Schwind are crying during Great Caesar's Ghost.

A PERFORMANCE TAKES ORGANIZ- ING, and Mr. Bowers, Mrs. Caldwell, and Mrs. Bums hardly find time to dis- cuss building the flats. IT'S HARD TO FIND THE RIGHT amount of food to serve on each plate. Doris Day, Susan Garmen, Dottie Pearson, and Kim Kelley try to remember who had Chicken Kiev and who had roast. ' Y Right: OIL WELLS interrupted Fair- view's skyline and lit up the horizon at night. This derrick was erected just east of Chamberlain and was a daily re- minder of the oil industry's impact on the community. SERVING FOOD was one of Carolyn Vogt's many jobs at the Mennonite re- lief sale. Many people from Fairview were involved in this effort which at- tracted 5,000 people and grossed more than $64,000. DOWNTOWN CONTINUED to change its look. Fairview State Band contributes to the cause by remodeling its second story windows. Above Right: GIVING BLOOD involves more than just a prick in the arm.

THE MOON IS not rising above South Main Street and it's not a UFO. This double exposure was made at Christmas when the lights downtown add to the holiday mood. ©onir ffiffialk® ft Bn® A love able little town nestled in the plains of Northwest Oklaho- ma bounded by the Cimarron River and the Gloss Mts. could only be Fairview. Though a lone tumble weed may be seen blowing down our mile long Main Street in the late night hours, we are far from being a ' ghost town! ' Our way of life center around agriculture, oil, and the many businesses related to these. Our town is growing and our style is big but we still have that 'down home' feeling. People in Fairview are not so caught up in themselves that they forget about others. It is not uncommon to re - ceive a smile and a wave from strang- ers. But that's only a surface fact. Indi- viduals get involved with programs, or- ganizations , and activities that really help our community. For instance, the Lion's Club sponsors track meets, bas- ketball tournaments, donates to the summer youth program, and many other projects. Involvement can be seen ev- erywhere . Fairview cannot be described in a monotone, though. Forty miles sepa- rates us from Enid, the closest big (55,000) city. We lack many of the cultural activities large cities offer. Entertainment for students ranged from dragging Main Friday night to dragging Main on Sat. night, with an occasional trip to Enid in between. But it's not as boring as it sounds. And with gas reach- ing 70 t per gallon even dragging Main may be a luxury. The resourcefulness of our population, handed down from our pioneer ancestors, allow us to 'make the best' of even the worst circumstances. It's that pioneer spirit that is reflected most often in Fairview's people. Through thrick and thin, they realize what it takes to be successful and con- tinually strive for it. We're a growing community in North- west Oklahoma where it is possible for a small town to disappear. However, in Fairview it's our people that make the difference. Community 17 THE HOMECOMING BANQUET was filled with laughter and fun. When emcee Rick Worley held up a 'Please Laugh' sign for the jokes he told, the audience burst into applause while Mrs. Dahlem bubbled over with laughter at her own jokes. THE FOOTBALL TEAM 'charges' to victory and the fans all scream and shout to boost the team as Kerry Jor dan plays the familiar tune on his trumpet. VO-TECH TRAINED Ronda Bowers and Trudy Nightengale demonstrated and taught the complicated process of recessitation to all of the biology classes. WATCHING TO MAKE SURE every- thing is okay, new donar, Bobby Mallory, gives to the Blood Mobile. 18 Student Life THE MEASURED METRIC figures of ti Home Ec. girls, Sheila Warner, onda Miller, and Linda Baum, caused them to have second thoughts on the U. S. switching to metric. The middle A mailer of life and dealk Although no new disease swept the country and we remained somewhat isolated from any major crises, the world continued to create surprises and we continued to stir up excitment as school stepped into the usual routine. Pope John-Paul I died after only 34 days as leader of the Roman Catholic Church. Jrs. showed their spirit and set a new record by selling 378 homecoming mums; The band livened up school by placing first at the Tulsa State Fair, while Randy Eitzen did some livening up himself when he stuck a pair of tweezers in an electrical outlet in Bi- ology. The yearbook staff kept the ball rolling by receiving All-Okla- homa rating at the fall OIPA confer- ence in Norman. Members of English IV 'went to their graves' reading MacBeth while the New York Yankees opened every- one's eyes by defeating the L.A. Dodgers in the World Series. On that same day students could resume sleeping in class because the roofers finished their work putting a new coating on the building. The Band swept the sweepstakes awani at OSU homecoming parade. Skies were all clear until the last football game at Cherokee. Cold weather welcomed basketball season while Washington welcomed David Boren to the senate. George Nigh took over in the governor's mansion after defeating Ron Shotts. Two of American's greatest — Norman Rockwell and Gene Tunney — died. Headlines were painted red as OU suffered its only defeat of the year to Nebraska 17-14. They bounced back to massacre OSU the next week 62- 7. Elsewhere in Jonesville, Guyana another massacre was taking place when 910 people were killed in one of the largest suicide-murders in his- tory. Mr. Denton made a special an- nouncement when Billy Sims won the Heisman Trophy. The Dallas Cow- boys made the NFL playoffs. So did L.A., Denver and Pittsburgh. Pitts- burgh won their third NFL champion- ship. Student Life 19 The middle |Yni|NTilhllT ® r®ps-� ci ion riscs Gymnastic equipment was bought for the grade school providing complete facilities for gymnast who enter competition. We moved into the completed band room, even though the chairs hadn't arrived. Jewish leader Golda Mier died. Mixed Chorus charmed the audience at the annual Christmas concert with PDQ Bach's 'Throw the Yule Long on Uncle John' and 'O Little Town of Hackensack' accompanied by kazoos. Woody Hayes charmed the press and the public with his rendition of the 'one-two punch' at the Sugar Bowl (and lost his job.) HEW allowed six- on-six girls' basketball in Okla. and three other states. After Christmas vacation basketball started again with both teams taking first place trophies in the FV Invitational Tour- nament. USC and Alabama were Rated 1 on UPI and AP polls. The Shaw left Iran and the basketball teams left for Heritage Hall and Mangum. The girls came back with a second place trophy, the boys came back with two tough losses, and the Shaw never came back. China in- vaded North Vietnam while the boys invaded Laveme and won the district title. The sweetheart banquet kept the FHA girls busy and the aroma of chicken Keiv filled the halls making mouths water in expectation. Rob Wilson was crowned Beau. After a second place finish in Regionals the boys' basketball team lost to Cushing by one point in a deluxe barnburner at the Area Tourney. The spring livestock show brought ribbons and medals to our FFA chapter who came out on top with their fine display of livestock. Mixed Chorus received straight I's at the district Vocal Con- test in Woodward for the first superior ratings in many years. STUCO got into the action in March with a spring carnival that involved everyone. Stephanie Dahlem and Laura Marlatt entertained with dumb jokes while classes and organizations made mon- ey with their booths. Baseball season made a hit as the team won the opener against Seiling. Band after weeks of work, earned a superior rat- ing at District Contest, and a trip to state. The FV Invitational Track Meet was held at Watonga due to a two year delay on the completion of the track. Life and death were part of our lives. Time flies and before we knew it, we were also racing through win- ter into a busy, fun filled spring. SOMETIMES EXPLAINING TO a bas- ketball official that his call was wrong can be hazardous, but luckily in this case, Byron Dow only receives an official explanation. LUNCH-HOUR CORRIDOR resi- dents found 12:19 to 12:55 to be the best hour of the day. Testing and trading lunches was one way to get a variety. 20 Student Life IF BRADY HAMMAR can get basketball star Jim Schwind to shoot goals for him in the Sr. carnival booth, he can assure him- self a top prize. F.H.A. WORK DAY was truly a ‘work day for most girls, but for Becky Ford and Me- lanie Cross, washing windows was a fun way to earn money. i THROUGH RAIN, SLEET, or even snow, football boys had an unusual, but interesting game during the calmer days of our snow period.

STUCO PRESIDENT RICK Worley and STUCO member Kyle Williams demonstrate the obstacle Qoarse to the student body and find t harder than they thought. V WILLa Backwards day relieves tension Sadie Hawkins Day Traditionally has meant that girls ask guys to the all-school picnic. However, not many girls did, so almost everyone had to supply his own lunch. Also, traditionally speaking, Mr. Denton has tried to have as much school as possible. This custom was futile too, as he cancelled morning classes in lieu of a talent show. Forgotten words and lots of laughs swept the audience at the talent show. After two false starts Rick Worley, our famed STUCO Presi- dent, received a standing ovation for his third try at singing 1 Somewhere my Love.' STUCO campaign speeches fol- lowed the talent show and creativity ran wild. Short Randy Patzkowski gave his speech under the protection of two 6 3 ' bodyguards, ‘Big1' Jim Fast and Jerome Wichert. Mike Belter also brought gimmicks into the open as he used two hit men, Rob Wilson and Mark VanMeter to 'make us an offer we couldn't refuse.1 Following the morning activities with everyone wearing his clothes backward, it was off to the city park for lunch and an afternoon of compe- tition. Eating came first and food was plentiful. Volleyball, a sport long dominated by the seniors, was swept by the juniors. An obstacle course through the playground was run by members of each class adding points to the class total. All classes were fairly even going into the 'make me laugh' contest. Here the juniors came out with a perfect score with John Elwell a master of cracking ev- eryone up. Tradition prevailed in the Marathon Bar eating contest when Gregg Burlison won for the seniors. Time was running short and the last event of the day, a tug-of-war, would decide who won the competi- tion. Sophomores outpulled freshmen and juniors muscled out the seniors. With only five points separating the jr. and sophs, at this point the teams lined up, dug in and Rick Worley signaled the start of the deciding war. Rallying back after the loss of a few feet, the Sophomores won the battle, but learned it was for nothing because the Juniors had out-pointed all the rest. So tired, sore, and sunburned the student body began the final weeks of school. 1 % 22 Student Life TEMPERS FLAIR IN volleyball com- petition as Leslie Curtis and Kenny Warner disagree over an official's call.

The Junior-Sophomore team beat the Senior-Freshman team in tough defensive struggle. Emotion was at a high level and it was a 'win-at-all-cost' matter. One of the coaches (seniors from the varsity football team) was quoted at half time as saying, 'If they cheat, we'll cheat.' The concert band presented their spring concert, crowned Pam Koehn queen, then went to State the next week. Disappointment wfas the word when they received a III in concert. Surprise was the word when the Cho- rus brought home superior ratings in concert and sight-reading from State contest. The track team jumped into action while across the nation television, newspapers, and magazines reflected the horrifying story of the nuclear di- saster at Three-Mile Island. Reports of 'high' radiation levels were heard every day. President Carter, in con- cern for the nation, reviewed the project then delivered a speech at the reactor site. In Texas and SW Okla- homa , tornadoes wrere wrecking more obvious and immediate disasters. In Fairview we dodged a few of our own tornadoes (11 in one night) and the FHA girls sold May Flowers. SOMEWHERE MY LOVE sung by Rick Worley was one of the many talents in the STUCO sponsored talent show. A MEMBER FROM THE 'Vote for Patz' club, Michelle Harris, gave a terrific pep talk for Vice-President candidate Randy Patzkowski at the STUCO election speeches. SHINE, a singing group from the MB Church, entertained the students by singing two numbers in the talent show. TANNING IN THE SUN, and snacking during lunch break was part of the routine for the Jr. High and High School track girls at their Laveme meet. STUDYING FOR SEMESTER tests was a MUST as Bob Mallory realizes after glancing over his 23. pages of English notes.

Not only was the yearbook staff working against a tight deadline but so was the whole school. Experiences were many and varied. We smiled as we gave May flowers to our favorite friends on the 1st and cried as these friends graduated on the 18th. The Juniors presented ' 'Rest Assured' and we laughed as Tommy Pearson knocked over a magazine rack, Craig Edkins imitated a short Italian meat cutter, Susan Glasgow broke a tele - phone tripping over the cord, and Chuck Neufeld forgot his lines. The banquet circuit captured our time and attention, starting with the Jr.-Sr. banquet. Weeks of prepara- tion, committee meetings, work nights, and voting resulted an even- ing spent on the Love Boat. Afterward a few Juniors were heard commenting on the decorations, 'All that work tom down in ten minutes ! ' New FHA officers were installed and Angela Kliewer was crowned FFA Queen. Laura Marlatt and Mike Ben- nett took honors at the Band Banquet. Mark Van Meter received the Joe Jordan All-Around Athlete Award and Rob Wilson captured the George Eu- bank Outstanding Football player tro- phy at the Sports Banquet.

While the rest of the school checked in overdue library books, took semester tests, paid for- gotten fees, and cleaned out lockers, the seniors waited with mixed emo- tions to find out about coveted schol- arships, outstanding students (Doug Keeton and Pam Koehn) and listened to their class will, history, prophecy and poem during class night. The end of school was coming fast but our teachers and everyone elses slowed it down a day to rally at the state capitol to support an education- al bill about to be defeated by an unconcerned senate. Exclamations of 'Why does it have to be now?' were heard. But those affected most were the teachers who had to give, grade and average tests before reports could go out the last day — a day moved from the 21st to the 22nd. On Friday rain-soaked juniors be- gan gathering roses at 4:00 a. m. for the graduation arches and the Seniors marched through them later that night led by Marshals Angela Kliewer and Kenny Wanzer. We ended a year spent with T.V. 's MORK AND MINDY and the WHITE SHADOW, while songs like the Bee Gee's 'Stayin' Alive1 The Village people's YMCA and Streisand's 'You Don't Bring Me Flowers' blared from car's tape decks. Skinny jeans and high heels appeared in the halls as we adopted the styles from the coasts. The coasts wished they could adopt the midwest's oil as gas prices soared and reserves depleted. Change is bound to occur. Our way of life will not stay the same.

That is, almost any day of the week. There were a few times however when students were telling jokes, copying homework, reading paperbacks behind their textbooks, and generally faking it. This isn’t to say that learning doesn’t take place, it just happens a little differently. We still learn and still do the assignments but we do it with a flair that makes it our style. Academics Div 31 In search of lost RING-NG-G! WHO'S THERE?; BUSIness English students Mike Bennett and Cindy Chill decide, making business calls is not as I easy as it appears happening pencils is an every- day task in English classes. While Freshman learned vocabulary, Sophomores took themes from short stories, Juniors analysed novels, and Seniors spent endless time doing re- search papers, they found English to have some interesting facts, and to even sometimes be fun. The unexpected book reports caused cramming the night before as well as for the nine weeks tests. Studying became easier as the year went on when we finally decided it was better to study than to dread re- port card day. Using man's senses caused creative writing students to see things and write of everyday things in a imagi- native sense. Stephanie Dahlem's short story, ' 'Marble'', won third place in the writers Anonymous Con- test in Edmond.

They played a schedule that in- cluded six teams who would enter the state playoffs and the state champion. After an opening loss to Thomas and a thorough trounsing of Seiling, the stage was set for homecom- ing . Early in the game, Mark VanMeter passed for 20 yards to Monty McMurphy for a score to which Kyle Williams added the extra point and the 'Orange Crush' led Sayer 7-0. Sayer scored in the second quarter, but failed to make the extra points and the Jackets led 7-6 at half time. The Eagles drove down the field but had to settle for a field goal to go ahead 9-7. Late in the fourth quarter VanMeter and McMurphy teamed up again from the 12 yard line for another score. The extra point attempt was bobbled off the snap. Quick-thinking VanMeter pitched to Williams who swept around end for a two- point conversion. The Jack- ets had their first Home - coming victory since 1970. In rapid succession our team fell to Okeene, Weatherford, arch-rivals Laveme and Henessey. Few in number to begin with, each game took its toll in injuries.

InmffllMi a drenalin flowed as preparation was made for the Watonga game since they had been ranked No. 1 in Class A all year (and would become state cham- pions .) Receiving the opening kick-off the Orange and Black marched straight down field and Rob Wilson capped the 70 yard drive with a one yard plunge to put the first points on the board. A fine defensive effort kept the War Eagles from scoring until the second period when they reeled off three scores in a row to lead 18-7 at half time. Late in the third quarter the Jackets faked a field goal and pitched the ball to Kyle Williams on a 12 yard, end sweep to put the Jackets back in the ball game 32-13. But the upset of the year was not to be as H.S. Football Watonga scored twice more. Another important confer- ence game was next. Again the defense played a strong game. The Jackets were trailing 7-2 as the game neared the final minutes and were driving for the goal line. But an interception put the game on ice and gave Chisholm a 13-2 victory. Cherokee became a 'must win' game for the seniors who had struggled to keep the ball club rolling. With a bitter, cold wind blowing the Jackets struck for two scores in the first quarter and two more in the second. Rob Wilson scored, as did Cecil Harrison on a pass from VanMeter. As the points rolled up on the scoreboard, every member of the team saw action and another sea- son was in the record books.

In the second game things be- gan to look up and the Jackets came out kicking and stung the Chiefs of Cherokee 14-0. Coming off that dazzeling win, they met Mooreland and again they triumphed in a close 8-7 game. After the Mooreland game the Jackets just couldn't get it all together. This com- bined with very tough oppo-_ nents wrecked havoc in the season record.

The young Jackets en- countered numerous overtimes during the season including a dazzeling performance against Hennessey.

After a v eek of practice the regional tourney was held in Fairview, giving the Jackets a homecourt advan- tage against their next two opponents. Newkirk, a previously beaten foe, went down fighting. Then came the finals and a tall Clinton team took to the court as if they owned it. The team which had stood so tall in regular season and district play was chopped down 32- 40. Entering Area play in Enid, the Jackets ran head- long into Cushing. At half time Cushing had a 7 point lead and extended it to 12 during the early minutes of the third period. Gaining slightly for the rest of that period, the Jackets held Cushing scoreless during the first two minutes of the fourth period, and went ahead 39-38. The lead changed hands nine times before the clock registered the final 24 seconds. With the Jackets leading 50-49 and controlling the ball, Cushing stoled the ball from Rob Wilson who, in turn, stoled the ball from them but fouled in the process. Cushing hit both free shots and secured the lead. With 18 seconds left, Fairview had the last shot but missed as the buzzer rang. It was close and for a Cin- derella team that 'Didn't have a chance' in Novem- ber, they had proved them- selves as competitors. They had given their school and fans the best season of boys' basketball in almost a dec- ade , and everyone loved it. a n outstanding 13-5 re- ZTu. cord made the Jr. High a team to be feared. When a team is called from class to play in a H. S. tourney because one of the other teams had forfeited, it can become one of the most exciting games of the year. No practices — no warning — no chance of it being considered a part of the tournament — win or lose. But the Jackets gave it their best shot. They also gave the fans their money's worth as they played a close 40-49 loss. Throughout the year, team depth and unity were the keys to success.

On a cold Thursday night in the Laveme gym, a tall Guyman team scored an up- set victory 27 - 25 and ended the Jackets chance of going to state in the first round of District play.

Starting slowly they found themselves with a 3-6 re- cord with the season half over. The turn-around came after Christmas when they faced three tough teams in the tournament — Chero- kee, Carrier, and Woodward (who had defeated them earlier in the Woodward Tourney). The outstanding play of Susan Garman on the forward end and a tough defense helped them finish the sea- son with a winning 12-8. This group also brought home the sportsmanship tro- phy from Woodward.

In their second year of this sport, the team went 6-17 to double their wins of the preceding year. The start was good as Vince McGolden picked up the first game win with a 7- 2 decision over Seiling. It looked like a winning season but the next four games found the Yellow - jackets winning every other game. They became victims of cold bats, inconsistent pitching, and errors in fielding at crucial moments in the next 13 games. One bright spot came through in the slump was a 10-9 win over Canton in the Hennessey Tournament. Things looked brighter when the team started play- ing at home. Here they split games with Alva and La - veme. Probably the best games — at least the ones mentioned most often — were the 2-1 defeat of Woodward and the 5-2 win over Alva — both seasoned teams. Since they had defeated Laveme earlier, the Jackets were glad to hear that they were to meet Laveme in the first game of districts. How- ever, that joy was short- lived when Laveme played a super game and downed the team 16-5. That first district win will have to wait until next year when the Jackets will have many returning lettermen and a new coach. o 0 WATCHING INTENSELY Cecil Harrison checks the pitcher's form as Craig Ed- kinds readies for a bunt.

Once a month students who had accumulated enough reading points met in the library. Special treat- ment was given to these readers as they drank cokes and ate donuts while Mrs. Kyle Dahlem picked their brains about various discus- sion topics. Silence was of- ten the case as members were faced with questions on what to do about world hun- ger . Even more interesting were the male vs. female arguements when ERA was the topic. Any day of the week peo- ple with various interests can be found in the library. Most come to gossip, read maga- zines and newspapers and some just to get out of study hall. But there are a few people in the library who are there to do more than just read magazines. They are the student librarians. When we walk into the library, they ask for our library pass, tell us to be quiet when we talk about the latest hap- penings in school, and make us leave with the usual phrase, 'It’s time to check out.1 However they are Mrs. Dahlem1 s right hand persons who, aside from all their other jobs shelve books, make lists of overdue books and fines, and type an- nouncements .

That's what this completely inexperienced staff thought yearbooking was all about. Little did we realize that this •easy credit' would change our theme to 'pain and per- spiration .' 'Write the copy first' was heard as page assignments were being handed out. Oh, the hardships we suffered, struggling with two 'butcher jobs,' three rewrites (as we listened to lectures on what yearbook copy is supposed to sound like.) Next, we learned to draw layouts, hopefully good ones, without holes. We searched through our endless, disorganized pile of contact sheets to find just the right picture — often sending Brian Stecklein on a 'must have today' photogra- phy assignment (even though he had exceeded the budget months before.) Caption writing was not as simple as it seemed, either. How could you include all the information needed and still get it in the available space? Triple carbon layout sheets were the next problem and only heaven (and the print- er) knows the amount of time we spent erasing in be- tween the carbon paper to correct our mistakes. Artwork was set and head- lines brainstormed. Finally, we sent in our first deadline. Now only two to go — but seven months of the year are gone! If it hadn't been for the special GREAT moments, none of this would have been worthwhile. We will always remember the fall OIPA conference at OU when the book received ALL-OKLA., the great Christmas party at Chuck Neufeld's home with the delicious Chinese din- ner, and presenting Shelli Zimmerman with her Queen bracelet and Wilinda Shaffer and Susan Glasgow with their charms. 76 PHOTOGRAPHERS AND EDITORS don't always get along.

With Executive officers; Rick Worley-President, Laura Marlatt-Vice President, Stephanie Dahlem-Trea- sure, and Leslie Curtis-Sec- retary, STUCO got off to an early start. During the summer the of- ficers and representatives met to help make up the handbook and dress code. The first day of school the STUCO sponcered a Water- melon feed. With football season around the comer, STUCO started organizing Homecoming activities which was highlighted with the Homecoming Banquet and follies. Student Council also spon- sored all national assem- blies. The officers presented an assembly of their own where they demonstrated the proper procedures to salute and handle the United States flag. This was presented at Grade School, Chamberlain, high school, and Rotary. A fun evening was set aside for the Spring Carni- val. Classes and organiza- tions set up carnival booths for their own fund raising at the city auditorium. The evening was climaxed with the crowning of the Carnival King and Queen, Cecil Har- rison and Tammie Swanson. Sadie Hawkins day was another accomplishment and a pleasant break for the stu- dent body. A talent show rounded out the year with much participation and en- joyment .

Receiving superior ratings at the district concert band contest, winning sweepstakes marching at Stillwater, and winning first at the Tulsa State Fair were things never to be forgotten. But victory has its down- falls. 1 'That's a one ! '' said Mr. Cross after they played at the state concert contest, but when the results were in, everyone was dissappointed. They made two threes and a two, but everyone was still proud because you can't win ' em all! There were some minor adjustments to be made such as having to get used to a new band director. At the beginning of the year every- one moaned and groaned because Mr. Simmons was used to a little harder work than we were. We discov- ered he was right when they received trophies and recog- nition from all over the state. At the spring concert Pam Koehn was crowned band queen and all Senior band members received blankets. The chorus sang a few num- bers and the band played some well-known songs. A slide presentation by Steve Dahlem accompanied a pa- triotic selection. Chuck Neufeld won a su- perior rating at the state level on his solo. It took hard work and dedication but in the end everyone knew we were winners in more ways than one! 80 H.S.

Band 81 Not only in uniforms but also in performance, Choir rose to fame. In the fall the chorus did much wishful thinking. They dreamed of a 'One' at District with their two Latin numbers 1 Cantate Domino' and 'Adoramus Te Christe' but it just seemed impossible. Then came the fateful day when choir had their first day of competition at Woodward. Hard work, gigs for misbehavior and ten minutes of sight reading ev- ery day, paid off — we had our 'One' rating. With only a week of rest the amazed group of 30 stu- dents went back to work for State. Arriving at OSU with a sure feeling of perfor- mance , chorus took State with superior ratings for the first time in years. Not only in appearance, but also in sound, this larg- est choir in years took on new dimension. Where else does the Choir appear in tuxes and formals? What other choir can master the great choral pieces from Beethoven's Hallelujah Chorus to Jabberwocky? And what other choir receives a standing ovation following a rousing performance on ka- zoos at the Christmas pro- gram? Only here can you find such abundant talent. Band members from grades five to eight had over 100 superior ratings on solos and ensembles. JR.

A pep club organization party was held at Mrs. Swearingen's house early in September. Officers were elected and plans for the year were made.

A lucky few in the class1 s top 10% have the honor of being a menber of the State Honor Society. New projects are consid- ered by the officers and sponsor Mrs. Bums and are acted upon by the members. Their projects are increas- ing . A new and involving project was developed out of the Society's concern for the safety and efficiency of the bus routes. The members rode the routes to check on them. The joy of Christmas, too, was brightened by the Soci- ety , who put up the hall decorations, with the school tree to give the finishing touch. Dusting the trophies and cases has become a tra- dition and this year it was carried out with full force. Many confused parents gave their thanks as they were directed to the correct classes and visitors were guided through the rooms of various demonstrations at Open House.

These are people who care enough to excel at something — whether it be agriculture, athletics, or writing. These are individuals who have met their goals and can go away with a 'good feeling inside.' Scholarships of every size, shape and amount were giv- en to the graduating seniors. Doug Keeton received a $1,000 TGGY scholarship, renewable for four years, while Laura Marlatt received a surprise $950 Music schol- arship to OCU. Stephanie Dahlem was awarded the Nat'l Merit $1,000 award. Others were given for various amounts. Kay Thomas and Chuck Neufeld were chosen for Tri-State and All State Honor Jazz ensembles. Marty Hepp, Brian Stecklein, Rick Worley and Gregg Burlison were chosen for Tri-State Honor Chorus. Stephanie Dahlem was named All State in girls' basketball and Jim Schwind was named All-State Alter- nate in boys' basketball. When your last name starts with a Z you are always last.

TOP SENIORS are Valedictori- an Stephanie Dahlem and Salu- tatorian Phil Gooch. 92 Honors Man f.or all seasons National coach of the year I approached this inter- view with much anxi- ety. This is that math teacher who made my head ache with so many facts in an hour. This is the coach I had seen on the basketball court, yelling at six girls in orange, piling up a 30 point lead, and ending the season with only three games in the loss column. But I was to learn much more. Don Rippetoe grew up in Hollis, OK. He attended school there taking all the math and science possible while playing basketball, football, and baseball. After graduation from SWOSU in 1950, he got his first teach- ing job at Big Four. 'My initial goal was to be the best science and math teacher in the state.' But, since then he has added coaching to his edu- cational repetoire. 'Teach- ing is my vocation and coaching is my advocation.' Rippetoe has been at Fair- view since 1965 as math teacher and girls' basketball coach. Over the years he has compiled an impressive set of statistics; two state championships, five other visits to the state finals, about 14 watches, 546 wins and 117 losses, Okla. Coach of the Year, and National Coach of the year. All this brings on the age-old ques- tion, 'Is winning every- thing?' 'No, the trying to win is everything. The winning will take care of itself.' ' Success in basketball is quite evident in Mr. Rippe - toe's career. Although his success as a teacher may not be as exposed, it is still present. 'I don't equate competitive athletics with the importance of the aca- demic program — academ- ics is first — athletic par- ticipation, as well as par- ticipation in any extra-cur- ricular activity, comes sec- ond. Teaching mathmetics comes first with me. Bas - ketball isn't a matter of life and death, but the final product that comes out of those classrooms is. My conscience would hurt me if I didn't walk into my class- room and attempt to do a topnotch job every day. I feel that way about coach- ing , too.' What's the philosophy be- hind all this. First let's ex- plore coaching. 'I'm highly team motivated. I want the team to achieve the maxi- mum success that it is phys- ically capable of achieving. My responsibility is to find the best niche for each player, to encourage them to improve in their area of endeavor, and to teach them the skills so they can im- prove and give the team the maximum opportunity to be successful.1 Whoa, that's a mouthful. But that's how he produces good basketball teams. To what does he attribute his success ? ' Good kids, good parents, and hard work.' Go heavy on the work as- pect. But what about teach- ing? Is it as complicated? 'I don't thing there is anything as important as the education of the young peo- ple of this nation.' This interview ends on this page but the story of Don Rippetoe goes on and on. It goes on inside gyms across the state. It goes on to col- leges and universities where the teachings of Mr. Rippe- toe are applied even further. But more than that, one day I'll probably say, 'Yeah, I remember that cause Mr. Rippetoe taught it to me.' Gregg Burlison, Jim Schwind, Rick Worldy, Mark Van Meter, Don Hale.

STUDENT ROTARI AN S: Keith Pratt, Marty Hepp, Steve Elwell, Phil Gooch, Honors 93 A MANY THOUGHTS could be racing through Pam Koehn's mind but chances are she' s worried about her English IV term paper. SEATING WAS QUITE a problem in the old band room as horn cases were wall to wall. Mr. Cross solves the problem by sitting on the cases. Sally Davis has to sit on a stool in order to reach her bass clarinet. COLD WEATHER and a football game bring people close together. Debbie Stepp watches Darin Miller watch the Cherokee Game.

What is the main ingredient that determines what FHS is really like. It’s people. Not just faces in a crowd — but human beings with habits, personalities, likes and dislikes. Because of our size we knew just about everybody and they knew us. We grew together, laughed together, and held together. Where would FHS be without the people who create its style. No , second chance m s we started the year, the seniors Zn had mixed emotions — emotions of fear, challenge, happiness, saddness, and accomplishment. Our last year of high school finally was here, and we did not know if we were ready to leave the nest or not. Many were confused. While a few had their minds already made up, all were trying to face reality. One of the first problems we encoun- tered was the one of 'waiting until next year.' When a particular class we want- ed to take did not fit into our schedule, we realized we could not take it next year. When some of our homecoming activities flopped, there was no next year to redeem ourselves. No next year to listen to flag salutes, or shoot for a better grade in a certain class. We had no second chance to ask that certain guy or girl to the banquet. No more check- ing out of classes to go to the games during the Fairview Invitational Tour- nament. We had to take all of our classes and extra-curricular activities seriously because we had no second chance. We realized all through the first half of the year we had no second chance. We did everything to the maximum, because that's the way we do things. WE DID IT ! In the dressing room Mark VanMeter and Rob Wilson show their delight about taking Districts at La - veme.

On their class trip to Roman Nose, Rob Wilson, Cecil Harrison, Doug Keeton, and Rick Worley discover it's not as easy to throw Leslie Curtis in the pool as they thought it would be. THIS IS A DISCUSSION — not an ar- gument ! Robin England and Keith Pratt find out that some of the dis- cussions in Book Club turn into hot debates. BACKSTAGE JITTERS hit when Pam Koehn and Cindy McDaugale attempt to make Vanessa Stephens look like a fortune teller. No for time a play... 3 TT azy Seniors' did not apply to I '—I our class because we were kept just as busy as those in the past. When some of the seniors were asked what they regretted the most about their last year, the answer was 'being so busy that they did not even get to have a senior play. Most of the seniors were so busy that they did not even have time to THINK of a play. Basketball season consumed a large part of their time as loyal fans cheered for the teams until the boys lost a devastating game in Area. So many activities were happening at this same time, that several seniors were sent into hair- pulling fits. Mrs. Bums, true to her reputation of applying homework pressure, had the English IV students hustling to put together their research papers while the Business English class had a time preparing their own businesses. But all this homework did not stop the social things from happening. At the Sweetheart Banquet our own Rob Wilson was crowned Beau. The ju- niors showed their talent by putting on a beautiful banquet for the seniors using a Love Boat theme. At the FFA Banquet, President Doug Keeton crowned Angela Kliewer as the 1980 Queen and picked up four awards to be the star of the night. Rob Wilson was the recipient of the George Eu- bank's Football Award and Mark Van Meter won the Joe Jordan Award at the All-Sports Banquet. A talent show held before the Sadie Hawkins activities was topped off by Rick Worley as he started over three times on his song ' Somewhere My Love' and got a standing ovation when he finished. The next day the seniors went on their annual skip day to Roman Nose Park. The morning was too chilly to start the day in the pool so some de - cided to try the horseback riding and paddle-boats. 98 Seniors YOU CAN DO IT.

Seniors We soon discovered that most of the parks facilities were not available, so most of the morning was spent hiking through the hills and play- ing volleyball. At lunch the girls allowed the sponsors to go first, themselves second and the boys last. The sponsors were amazed but knew it would be the only time they would be put first. The boys decided if we ever had lunch together again they would go first to make sure they got some of the good food. The afternoon was spent mainly in the pool. The boys enjoyed playing tag and throwing the girls in the pool. The girls enjoyed sun- bathing and staying dry. Just before it was time to pack up and leave, we no- ticed that so far we had had no casual - ties. We talked too soon as Leslie Curtis decided to take out a tree with her head - What a headache. We had a terrific year. We never had time to rest our feet or our minds. We all felt that it was a very rewarding year even if we did not have a play. IT’S STILL HERE.

Cecil Harrison, Linda Miller and others get the full mean- ing of graduation as they sit through the commencement exercises in the W eality really hit us as we started LlWwith graduation plans. Bacca- laureate was very special to us and our mothers. Since the day was Mothers Day, we carried red silk roses in honor of our mothers. We also had our own and unique theme for class night, Su- perman . It started with Lois Lane, Cindy McDaugale, working on a very hard project-the Class of '79. This was where Superman, Rick Worley, tries to help her. He struggles to quickly change his clothes from Clark Kent to Superman in a real phone booth. He found people like Stephanie Dah- lem to recall the history of the class, Laura Marlatt to forsee the prophecy, and Doug Keeton to read the class and each individual's will. Class night went over well except for one thing, no one could remember Superman's name. When graduation finally was over many seniors found it a happy time in- stead of sad, because all their class- mates were in the same room at the same time. We were happy because we had accomplished the one thing we all had strived for-to graduate. We realized that even though graduation was finally over, our adult lives had just begun. 102 Seniors Brian K.

Pam Koehn gives Rob Wilson a 'I'm going to miss you' hug after graduation. Seniors 103 Rinas 'n Thinas A 'real1 Billy (Heisman Trophy Win- ner) Simms autographed football was raffled off as a money-making project and was won by Craig Edkins. This money added to the homecoming mums, the Jr. play and the super mon- ey-maker cake walk at the spring car- nival allowed the Juniors to stage a beautiful Jr.-Sr. Banquet. We really went through a lot of static at homecoming. Since the window and float were disqualified, it caused the class to pull together and enough people showed up for the Juniors to win the bonfire participation. After all the waiting for the class rings, they finally came in. There was a constant flash of fingers as everyone showed off the jewels. The class of 180 did have athletic ability. Ten started on the football team. Basketball season was a success for both teams as Matt Gard and John Curtis started for the boys and Mary Steidl for the girls.

I've been through everything ! , from mold for Biology to smelly basketball sneakers. What do you get with a half eaten bo- logna sandwich and a dozen cinnamon rolls from Winchells? Ants ! Then there is a drivers permit, 295 sheets of used typing paper, 12 ink pens, 5 spiral notebooks, 2 packages of Ko-Rec-Type, and a sewing box! Add this to 17 spirit signs, 3 pairs of basketball socks, 7 library books — all over due — and possibly under all of this, a long forgotten enrollment form that read — Dottie Pearson, Locker No. 259.

They found hidden talents within the class, which brought a reward of first place overall in the Homecoming activities. Making themselves part of the crowd meant visiting the bowling al- ley on Friday and Saturday nights, and owning their own set of wheels; motorcycles. During initiation of FHA and FFA, the many different personalities of the initiates were shown-from Becky Mabry as a bunny rabbit with balloons pinned to her clothing, to the FFA boys dressed as women.

The band members are part of the high school marching band as flag car- riers and some members of the eighth grade band are in the high school pep band. Mr. Coffey's English class drew pictures of Greek Gods and Goddesses. Most of the eighth graders expressed anxiety and anticipation toward their next year as members of high school.

Seventh grade Is the start of romance, the start of a good basketball team, and music of all kinds. From Ms. Lovejoy's mock trials to Mrs. D. Wilson's intergers, its survival of the fit- test. Imagine disecting a frog and watching its heart beat in a glass container. We had a litter of nine baby hamsters from one female hamster. And there was memoriz- ing: about, above, across, after, against, along, among, around, at, etc. ... we weren't bogged down because there were loads of excitement. After Ms. Lovejoy's mock trials, we went to see real justice at the Major County Court House. It was a real eye-opener to court-room procedure and a shock to some of us to see what really happens.

While there is a general opinion that ' school is boring' there is always the com- forting thought of basketball, lunch, and recess. When the teacher is breathing down your neck during a test, ham and beans are served in the lunch- room, the weather is so bad you can't go out during recess and Mr. Alig catches you with gum in chorus-it hardly seems worth the effort. Then the teacher schedules a field trip, the sun shines, you move to first chair in band and you help win a trophy in the Lion' s Club basketball tournament then school doesn't seem so bad and English book reviews are easy.

They face the crowds of enrollees -with re- lief that their mothers decided not to come with them and fear of the responsibility of being a year older. But the fear and relief soon fade when they see all their old friends from fourth grade and realize that they're not in this alone. The stories of summer vacations, fireworks, and secret clubs make this, enrollment day, just an- other day in the life of a fifth grader. The days that follow are full of classroom activities including daily math and English assignments, science projects like setting off hot air balloons, and recess. But soon fifth grade is over and they face another dreaded enrollment day. MICROSCOPES AND SPECI- MEN slides puzzle Susan Pembrook who gets a little help from Mrs. Keck. Mr. Pat Bullard . . .

Returning to school in August, high school students noticed something really amazing — the old tile floor with its un- matched tile was covered with orange car- pet. Then, while it may have distrubed some sleep in class, the roof was being re- done so it wouldn't leak. According to the wind direction each day, the cars had to be moved so they wouldn't be ruined with tar and spray. Completion of the band room was a wel- come relief to Mr. Cross, Mr. Simmons and the band as they had room to spread out. No longer did the trumpet players have to worry about having a cold trom- bone slide aimed at their necks. As winter started to fade intospring the new track field was also a happy sight to all the track people. It was possible to time them accurately since they didn't have to 'swim' around the far turn the muddy practice field. Big improvements are one thing, but sometimes it's the little things the admin- istration does that we enjoy the most — like the new five minute break between third and fourth hour. It gave us time to drink a quick coke and talk to friends. iNG THE Fairview-Thomas : Mr. Denton waits for the ime at the announcer's 120 Administration Board Member Don Elwell DURING OPEN HOUSE Assistant Prin- cipal Jim Slater helps give directions to parents and visitors.

We moved into the new music building in December; finished the track in April. We had winners in every activity. An energetic STUCO kept us hopping from event to event.
