OUR TOWN Above: LEATHER AND FUR were the going styles and Cindy McDaugle should know because she put them on the shelves at Anthony's. 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

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. Au- gust Schroeder finds out he has to have his temperature taken also. DECISION, DECISIONS. Mrs. Lee helps retired teachers Mrs. Maudie Firebaugh and Mrs. Gail Wedel, decide on the style of Jenny Hepp's choir uniform. The retired teachers had volunteered their time and talent to make the new outfits. 16 Community

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
