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

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

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
