Fairview High School - Yellow Jacket Yearbook (Fairview, OK)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1980 volume:

How many games did the girls' bas- ketball team win? Did Coach Baird really make the football team enjoy two-a-days? What was the outcome of the class 2A boys area finals? The news, scores, coaches, players, averages, tournaments, and ac- tion are captured on film and print for your enjoyment. CO -o O The home ec students be- long to FHA, Ag students to FFA - for some people organizations are what makes academics bearable. Becuase they are so closely relat- ed the Jacket staff decided to combine the two. Whatever your interests, they are covered here. This is what we are here for — homework and band, creativ- ity and test, publications and grades. o o r Q O o a D CD ■j ■■ It really possible ;v ■■ to alphabetize the I ■■ name every per- ™ ® son in school?

LOOKS OF PUZZLEMENT, Sophomores ponder transforming their hall into a homecoming fantasy. 4 Opening r Not that FHS with its 254 stu- dents remained exactly the same as it had been in the past. On the contrary, the seniors es- tablished a tradition of formal wear at the Jr.-Sr. Banquet. The band won the state Sweep- stakes award and swept every competition they entered, creat- ing a tradition of excellence sur- passed by few other bands across Oklahoma. Mrs. Geraldine Burns' English IV seniors placed five essays in the top ten of the statewide 'Ability Counts' contest — beating entries from Putman City, Lawton Eisen- hower, and others, both big and small-more than any school in the 27 year history of the contest. The Jacket received Medalist and All-American Honors from CSPA and NSPA respectively. The boys' basketball team went to Area Finals — missing a trip to State by a 45-foot last-second shot. Roger Fast placed first in the 330 intermediate hurdles at the State Track Meet and second in the high hurdles, setting a new school record in the process. Events of the year were very much the same, but they were also very different. Not that FHS remained exactly the same CLEANING UP, Bobby Bennett wrings out a chamois at the Sophomore car wash.

Opening 5 Shoring sparks(he difference nctivities would not be fun if they were not shared by friends. Friends would not be friends without common exper- iences, memories, and good times. That's the way it was with student life. That's why 1980 was different. Swimming, sunning, skiing, and softball filled the summer. The community got involved, too, as slow pitch caught fire and teams sprang up all over town. The com- munity also supported school ac- tivities. Football season featured a mar- velous 30-14 defeat of Okeene at Homecoming. Susan Glasgow was chosen as queen. Jenni Hepp was crowned Miss Fairview in the community sponsored contest. The senior play and dinner the- ater featured fine productions of 'Finders Creepers' and 'Jump Over the Moon.' The band won sweepstakes and the stage band placed second at state contest. Basketball kept school alive and hopping through the Area Tour- nament in February. Baseball games, track meets, and FFA shows left classes empty as school came into the final days. Sadie Hawkins' day gave the stu- dent body one last time to 'get away from it all.' Then the seniors dealt with the emotions of gradu- ation. Whatever the activity, moments would not become special with- out friends to share them. This certainly would not be a fun place to learn if people weren't in- volved with others. This is the stu- dent life of FHS. It's the same, but it's different. 6 Student Life Division TEN MINUTES TO CURTAIN. Wilinda Shaffer helps Jaquita Helton curl her hair before the afternoon Junior play production of 'The Bus Stops Here.' Jaquita played a beautiful girl on her way to Hollywood to seek her fortune as an actress. RICK 'EM, RACK 'EM, ROCK 'EM!

PRESIDENTIAL PROPHECY, Susan Glagsow and Craig Edkins interview future President Johnnie Curtis (Carter) and his Secretary of Defense Kyle Williams and Secretary of Agriculture Ronnie Barger during Class Night activities. John did a very amusing Carter imitation. Student Life Division 7 IN SHAPE! Jim Fast does windmill exercises in two-a-day practice to prepare for the upcoming season. SKYLAB IS FALLING! Brenda Thompson, Roxanne Eck, Debby Stepp, and Chris Stecklein look for skylab during its summer-long decent to earth. Tennis end tons rival jobs From the beginning of harvest in June to the clash of football pads in August, we filled the sum- mer with jobs, vacations, practices, tennis, skiing, jogging and even a little sleep. Venturing from the southern Texas border to Canada, 'wheaties' worked on harvest crews. Girls got into the action working as cooks, truck drivers and weighing wheat at the elevators, (or sought air conditioned of- fices and stores.) Teenagers escaped to Enid and OKC for night entertainment. Canton Lake was visited daily for water skiing and sunbath- ing. The community en- joyed nightly softball as a slow pitch league grew. Colorado was a near unanimous choice for va- cations. MBY packed out two vans and a pick-up full of luggage on their way to Horn Creek Church camp. MYF mi- grated to Branson, Ml as they visited Silver Dollar City. The Baptists joined thousands of others at Falls Creek, OK, the larg- est church camp in the United States. Cheerleaders suffered at Thunderhawk camp for a week at OU. Athletes at- tended basketball and football camps on many college campuses. Three months of sum- mer, with their excite- ment and activity, passed by almost as quickly as if we had been in school. r Summer jobs have become essential for FHS students. One occu- pation chosen by Larry Belter, Melanie Cross, and Craig Edkins was life- guarding at the city pool. Under the direction of Mr. Cross these three watched the pale blue wa- ter from 2:00 to 9:00 p.m. everyday. Why did they choose li- feguarding? Because it was an easy job and the opportunity arose, said Larry Belter, it gets mo- notonous, though. I like being around people and a lot of people come to the pool, said Craig Edkins. Usually about two hundred kids visit the pool every day. More swim if the tem- perature is hotter than normal. Little kids are the pet peeves of lifeguards. It seems that children can- not resist the temptation of splashing water at the V ■ ARCH THE BACK! Glasgow helps one of her students at the pool during SPORT. guards. There are some lighter moments howev- er. Watching divers kama- kizi into the water is real entertainment. Rick Wor- ley, past FHS Stuco presi- dent, was especially noted for his attrocious diving ability. Many other students spend time at the pool. Susan Glasgow often brought kids while she was babysitting. Terri Jones and Nita Monney- penny could always be seen soaking up the rays on the side of the pool. A good tan was the reason girls gave for going to the pool, while the guys went to watch the girls get a good tan. Working at the pool sounds like an easy job, and where else can a per- son sit in the sun all day and get paid while doing it.____________________ TAKE IT EASY! Mr. Cross,- Larrv Belter, and Tracy Bradford watch the swimmers at the pool. Life- guarding was only one of the many summer jobs held by FHS students during the summer break. Summer 9 FORMING OPINIONS. Chris Keeton talks with Tracy Osborne and Kim Ball at the Citizenship Seminar at the city auditorium. MORNING NEWS! Marvin Neufeld converses with Chuck Priddy and Gene Eitzen during breakfast at the Highway Cafe. Pickups are parked solid for two blocks daily around the cafe. Growing with pride In the past 'pride' only referred to football teams and the marine corps. The word pride can be applied to the commu- nity of Fairview. New businesses are springing up due to the large amount of oil-relat- ed industry around Major County. Other businesses like Ewald's Gulf and Stewart Oil Co. are ex- panding. Sooner Co-op added new scales, feed storage, and new grain bins in their half million dollar building program. Active civic organiza- tions keep abreast of the needs of the community as well as those of the state and national level. Volunteers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. everyday at the hos- pital. Community needs were fulfilled as various groups and individuals contributed a new heart machine to the hospital and the Jaws-of-Life res- cue device to the fire de- partment. The students of FHS re- alized how much the community cares when youth programs such as scouts, sport, musical groups like Daybreak, Shine, and Rise and other LOOKING GLOOM. Roger Bryanl and Chris England consider a shot at the miniature golf course. The course was one of the many new additions to the community. ■■ church youth groups are available. Interested par- ents are the reason many people attend church ser- vices on Sunday and Wednesday. Worshiping 'in the church of your choice' is taken seriously in our town. Civic pride shows in the type of businesses found along Main Street and throughout town. Quite often, store managers are found early in the morn- ing, sweeping their sidewalks, watering the new trees that line Main Street, and doing other duties that could easily be left for another day. Ffard work pays off too. Don Martens was named Okla- homa Businessman of the Year for his outstanding service at Waldons, Inc. Whether being named Oklahoma Businessman of the Year or worshipping together at Easter Sunrise Service, civic pride is a large part of this commu- nity. BUNCHES OF BURGERS! It requires 300 hamburgers to feed two football teams. 'Mac' McMurphy, Denny Patterson, Gene Ward and )im Slater found out the hard way as they fried 75 pounds of meat for the picnic given by the booster club. DETOUR! Employees of the National Rigging company try to move a huge engine through the corner of Broadway and Fifth Street. The detour, caused by the work on the railroad crossing on Highway 60, caused many traffic problems in Fairview. The police had to help on this one. 10 Community r AIRVIEW'S 10 BANANA SPLIT! Martens, JaquitI Patzkowski, and create part of a banana split at a game-fellowshi First day blues Every student at one time or another exper- iences the first day blues. The friendless, lost freshmen; the loud soph- omores, the know-it-all juniors, and the superior seniors all faced that first day. The hassle started when the doors opened at 8:20 on the first day of school. After finding tne right en- rollment room, students filled out two note cards and a schedule. Most schedule conflicts had been discovered and stu- dents had to rearrange, shorten or even destroy their original schedules and start over. The conversation goes like this: 'Why did you schedule Algebra II second hour when that's the only time I can take choir!' 'Can you please switch sixth hour Chemistry and second hour accounting so I can have a study hall first hour?' 'The only reason you want a first nour study nail is so that you can sleep an hour later in the morn- ing.' 'Is there any way of leaving out English IV?' 'What's an easy course I can take seventh hour?' 'Do we have to have 18 or 20 credits to graduate?' 'You have to have 221' 'My birthday is in Au- gust and I can't take driv- er's ed. until second se- mester.' For some the schedule confusion lasted for weeks but 94 percent were satisfied ana started class the next day. (Even the late sleeper made it to first hour.) SCHEDULE HASSLE! Mr. Jim Slater confronts a frenzied Susan Glasgow as she pleads about her schedule during enrollment. Community 11 GET IT RIGHT. Michelle Freed and Tammy Jensen teeter on a ladder while decorating the freshman hall. The freshman placed last in the hall competition. OLDIE BUT GOODIE. U.l. Smith waves to the crowd during the homecoming parade that he marshaled. He was the captain of the first FHS football team in 1909. 12 Homecoming Homecoming Survival of the fittest Trying to survive homecoming week is like trying to talk to Mr. Denton into cancelling school for the rest of NO STOPPING. Kevin Bryant and Chris England play with the pep band at the homecoming bon fire — despite Chris's broken arm. THREE BLIND WHIPPETS. Dottie Pearson imitates Okeene's coach Hendrickson while Debbie Stepp (54) explains how easy it is to beat Okeene. Toni Jantz does her impression of Coach Baird. Michelle Harris (55) looks on as the three blind Whippets fall to the ground. the year. It is imposible .. almost. Commit- tees started planning a few weeks ahead of schedule, decorating went up in record time, the bon fire lit on the first match, and the football team won by a landslide. Tired stu- dents, bedraggled from events of the previous week, came to school the following Monday, however, to assume business as usual. Here is a recap of what oc- cured during the week. Monday: Commit- tees met all over Fair- view, some in homes, some at the Pizza Hut. Only those few com- mittees that avoided the usual procrastina- tion started work on their assignments. The football team practiced hard. Tuesday: Float frames were built, hall signs painted, and another football practice held. T C Y's supply of toi- let paper diminished reatly. Industrious oat committees start- ed stuffing their floats while the juniors came up with a way to avoid the standard toilet- crepe paper combina- tion. Wednesday: The band held a 7:30 re- hearsal. After school ON THE MOVE. Ronald Weber (25) looks at the Okeene receiver on the ground then realizes that Bobby Mallory (42) has intercepted a pass. Mallory ran the ball back 85 yards and set up a touchdown in the 30-14 homecoming vitory. committees were desert- ed from six to nine while students went to church. Those that worked did so against school policy. Be- fore and after that period great progress was made: People stuffed floats, Skits were written, Halls were decorated, and the foot- ball team practiced. Thursday: The band re- hearsed early again. FFA boys gathered wood for the evening bon fire. The halls were decorated, floats finished, and skits rehearsed for the last time. The bon fire was held with the attendance award going to the sopho- mores. The band played and the cheerleaders danced with the sopho- more football players. Spirit ran high. The foot- ball team practiced for the last time. TAKE IT ALL OFF! Alvin Lowder lakes his turn at shaving Dale Davenport's beard after the 30-0 trouncing of Okeene. Davenport bet Alvin and the rest of the team that he would shave his beard if Okeene was defeated. At 10 o'clock the morning after the victory, Davenport's beard came off. Homecoming 13 WHAT A GIRL! Michelle Harris posed as a long lost girlfriend from Mr. Slater's past at the homecoming banquet. Mrs. Slater found out many new intricacies about her husband. NEW CONEHEAD? Mr. Denton tries to make Mr. Slater 'feel at home' at the homecoming banquet. Darryl Smith can't help but laugh. Bald jokes were told by nearly all speakers at the banquet. ■ CUN mss illp WINNING FLOAT! Ricky Silcott, Chris Stecklein, and Kendell Reeves add action to the sophomore Float, while Jeff Wilson tows them through the parade. backs by Bobby Mallory and Craig Edkins prevailed as big plays. The offense rambled, unchallenged by the Whippets. A 30-14 fi- nal score was the result. The Jackets were now 4-0 and Okeene would never be the same. After the game fellowships were sponsored by many churches. MBY went to Canton Lake for a beach party and hot dog roast. MYF and BYF stayed in town and celebrated with Orange crushes Okeene Survival cont. Friday: The band prac- ticed with the queen candidates. School was dotted orange and black with buttons, shirts, jer- seys, and ribbons. Mr. U.l. Smith, captain of the first FHS football team, spoke to the student body at the pep assembly. He reflect- ed on his life during the 1909 season and he was given a standing ovation. Skits were given, showing the student's view of the upcoming Okeene's Coac game, n Hen- drickson, and predictions for the outcome. OR- ANGE CRUSH! ORANGE CRUSH!echoed through- out the gym. The parade, with Queens, floats and band, marched down Main Street. The spirit at the game was incredible! Fans packed the stands with near record atten- dance. Crowds had come to see whether the sur- prising 3-0 Jacket team could play ball with 5 Class A, Okeene. The ac- tion on the field matched the feelings in the stands — incredible. Two inter- ceptions with long run- films, ping-pong, cokes and munchies. Saturday: Following a bet about the football game the team shaved the beard of Dale Davenport, a local printer and avid Jacket fan. STUCO pre- pared for the banquet at the fair building. Some football players slept late. The banquet was a 'roast' of Mr. Jim Slater, assistant principal, featuring many former students, coaches, principals and the myste- rious return of his old high school sweetheart, Susie. Sunday: Recovery day at last. While some went to church, others slept till noon. STUCO members cleaned up the banquet mess. Most spent the afternoon reading the sports story from the local papers proclaiming Fair- view's upset victory. HALL DECORATIONS! Cheryl Bennett laughs as Nita Moneypenny gives Susan Glasgow a steady hand to create 'feet' for the Senior class's hall Homecoming 15 AND THAT'S THE TRUTH! Angela Kliewer presents Edith Ann during the Miss Fairview Pageant. Angela finished first runner-up to Jenni Hepp who went on to compete at the Miss Cinderella Pageant at NWOSU in Alva. PIDDLE! Kirk Priddy smears Dena Smith's face with goop at an MBY after-game fellowship. Todd Eitzen looks on with enjoyment. THIRSTY! Jim 'B.J.' Fast quenches his thirst on the sidelines at Eubanks Field. The Jackets lost to Weatherford 28- 0. SMOKIN'! Bus drivers extinguish the flames from the old activity bus's last fire. This roadside in Dover was 'old fireball's' last stop. 16 Fall FA I I School starts rMLL with a BANG K p lagued by the gas r shortage, schedule conflicts, political con- troversy, and the changing weather, fall became a time of total involvement. A 'wel- come back' watermel- on feed was held in the city park by the STUCO. Yearbooks ar- rived and the Jacket staff threw a signing party. Class meetings convened to elect offi- cers, and other organi- zations planned for the new year. Just when it looked as if a slow down might occur, the FFA, already prepared by a sum- mer's work, plunged into the fall live stock shows, and football sea- son exploded into ac- tion. Fairviewites, along with thousands of oth- ers, flocked to Norman to see the 'Eagles' con- cert. Luckily, the crowd didn't stampede as it did at 'The Who' con- cert in Cincinnatti, where 15 were killed. Enroute to the State Fair parade, the infa- mous old activity bus — alias 'old fireball,' — caught fire, much to the dismay of the band members inside. 'The smoke was just pouring out the Dack,' said Brenda Thompson who was on the bus that fol- lowed. The Dover vol- unteer Fire Dept., re- sponding to C.B. con- versations, rolled in to help. Assemblies broke some of the monotony from academic life. A ventriloquist enter- tained with his voice throwing ability. Pep assemblies filleo Friday afternoons with noise, laughter, school spirit and pride. All manner of skits were given by the cheerleaders, the band played the school . smoke was pouring out the back.' song and the football team showed that they were 'fired up.' The end of October passed quickly as the FFA held their bar-b- que and slave sale, went to Kansas City to National Convention where they received their hard-earned Gold Emblem Award; band received a superior at district contest; the teachers spent two days at the state OEA meeting; and nine weeks reports cards were given out. Iran shocked Amer- ica in November when militant students over- ran the U.S. embassy and took 50 people hostage. The first snow of the school year oc- curred on the same day that Kay Thomas, CHAUCER AND A NUN. lulee Molidor explains her reactions to Sheila Warner during fifth hour English IV's creative use of Canterbury Tales. Chuck Neufeld, and Mr. Jr. Simmons trav- eled to Woodward for District All-State con- cert band and on to OKC for the OMEA convention. Juniors and seniors visited with college re- presentatives at the city auditorium on Career Day. The music depart- ment was busy with fes- tivals and parades. The band went to OSU to try to bring home the sweepstakes trophy for the second time, but lost to Broken Arrow. Choir went to OSU and CSU for two festivals. Members sang and re- hearsed for eight hours under the direction of top artists. Pres. Kyle Williams conducted a senior class meeting to talk about announcements, caps and gowns, gifts, and other business. Seniors voted to wear silver gowns instead of the traditional blue. Fourteen members of the senior class were seen dragging slowly to each class, carrying torn, beat-up play books. These were the play cast members. Craig Edkins, Chuck Neufeld, Susan Glas- gow, and Kay Thomas portrayed four children trying to solve a mys- WHAT PAIN1 Tom Pearson plays the role of Claude the Caretaker in the senior play.

The basketball teams didn't enjoy it much though, since basketball season started the very next week. Both teams tromped Pioneer- Pleasant Vale in the season opener. The student body marveled at the U.S. Professional table ten- nis champion and his opponent, the U.S. amature champion during the month's only assembly. Craig DeYoung and Darryl Smith were able to try out some of the expert advice during the STUCO sponsored ping pong tournament the next evening. BANGING THE BAG.

Wilinda Shaffer earns spending money by watching children at Learn and Play. The day care center was later closed because of Government hassles forcing Wilinda and others to find different jobs. .lie- Home. What do all these places have in common? High school employees, that's what. Approximately forty- one percent of all high school students hold part- time jobs. Some only work for three months during the summer in the S.P.O.R.T. program or on harvest, while others work anywhere from ten to 45 hours a week during the school year. Teens use their job money to buy clothes, sports equipment, tapes, fast food, slick cars, ste- reos, and to save money for college. Nationally, an estimated 45 billion dol- lars a year is spent by stu- dents between the ages of twelve and seventeen. Most students begin working by the time they are sopnomores and con- tinue through their senior year. Some even come home from college during the summer to work at the same place. Our survey shows that there are some talented and energetic people in our school system. James Pratt takes professional ictures of weddines and anquets as a way of earn- ing money while Rod and Kevin Helton may earn over $2000 during the summer by mowing and trimming lawns. John Cur- tis also mows grass, how- ever, he is in charge of the golf course at the Country Club. Toni Jantz even tried her hand at being an Avon Lady while KirK Priddy and Randy Patzkowski get up early (most of the time) to deliver the Enid Morn- ing News to the door steps of almost everyone in town. Ronnie Barger has the unusual job of raising quail and this keeps him busy all the time instead of a regular PLOWING INTO THE NIGHT Jeff Wilson drives his dad's John Deere 4020 deisel tractor to prepare the soil for fall planting.

COOL SENIORS! Tom Pearson, Lowell Cunningham, )ohn Elwell, and Matt Gard take it easy at the Magic Assembly sponsored by the STUCO. Lifestyles change with the times Lifestyles have changed from 20 years ago — even from three years ago. However the stu- dents have maintained their individuality. Some combined two, tnree, or even four lifestyles. A few students didn't fit in any catagory. However, the lives that developed came from a popular philos- ophy — 'rollin' with the flow.' It was easy to spot four different types of students at school. There were the scared, unsure freshmen, who wandered around with their eyes glued to door frames as they tried to figure out room num- bers. There were noisy sophomores, who re- newed old acquaintances everytime they saw one another. Juniors, the all- knowing bunch, thought they had finally 'arrived ana walked the halls laughing at the freshmen, giving them wrong direc- tions, and telling the sophomores to respect their elders and be auiet. The 'joe cool' crowd had to be the seniors. Showing their obvious 'maturity' they shuffled down the halls with a quiet air of su- periority. The senior girls became sentimental about their last year of high school and the boys developed their 'jock' im- age by dating the awed freshman girls. Aside from the obvious age difference in stu- dents, however, there were special interests that set each person apart as a distinctive individual. For instance, athletes attend- ed practice every day after school, making it hard for them to keep up with the action that hap- pened directly after school. Girl basketball players could not take a fourth hour class because of practice. So classes like yearbook and zoology were out for them. Many times a Vo-Tech student had to choose between band and athletics since oand was first hour and athletics last, and vo-tech was a half day. As the economy squeezed down, students were faced with the ever- increasing need for mon- ey. Jobs became a necessi- ty for some. Working after school and on Saturdays took away the time indi- viduals could be doing other activities. FFA mem- bers had little time, as many had to be up by 5:30 every morning to feed livestock. Fatstock shows all over the state demand- ed more time from the aggies. Musicians had it rough, too. Bandsmen taking pri- vate lessons had to put in extra practice time daily. If jazz band happened to be their interest, they had to attend jazz practice an hour before school every morning. Although special inter- ests separated individuals, there were interests ev- eryone had in common. Everyone lived in Fairview and everyone went to school at FHS — and that was the major interest that made lifestyles spe- cial. 20 Lifestyles halls - parent-teacher conference HALLS-only place in school where everyone can talk at the same time without being yelled at. 2: where you catch up on the latest gossip 3: a cough drop.

Costs Anon-athlete spends approximately $29 a year going to sporting events while the average athlete spends close to $50 for shoes and practice clothes. If the stuaent is in band another $32 is spent on band shoes and pants. The favorite 'hour' is lunch. The cost for a stu- dent who eats at the school cafeteria is $108 while the student who eats up town the expense can go up to $540. Publications cost $8 for the 'Jacket' and $1.80 for the 'Sting'. Tests that are taken during the junior and senior year run from $3.50 for the PSAT to $7.50 for the ACT plus travel to the testing col- lege. The average Sr. por- traits cost $120. Gradu- ation even gets into the pockets of students with cap and gown rental of $10 to announcements around $35. The average car driver spends $56.25 during one year to drive his car to school and back one time day. Add to that riding around and the athletes and spectators who have to drive back and forth to school for practice and games and this can push it up into the hundreds. A few of the extra frills of school are letter jackets $85, class rings $100 and FFA entry fees $50. The cost of running the school for a month is tre- mendous. For electricity, water, and sanitation, in the month of January 1980 was $2,247. Gasoline for the buses for one month ranges up to $3668 to run routes and activities. Heating bills for a cold winter month cost up to $2754. This only includes energy bills. After this teachers, administration, and the janitors have to be paid. Cost doesn't always have to be registered in dollars and cents. Cost in hours of human sacrifice and time spent at school is unbelievable. The average nonathlete spends 7.5 hours at school a day mak- ing over 1140 hours a school year. Band stu- dents spend 8.5 hours a day at school while ath- letes spend close to 10 hours. If the 'lucky' ath- lete is also in band he spends close to 11 hours every day of the week in a school building. The emotional cost and the physical one is also tremendous for the aver- age high school student. Preparation for 'the big test' causes quite a strain. Early morning band trips or track meets also put physical strains on those involved. The cost of school really can't be expressed in terms of dollars and cents or hours. In fact education is a gift.

DOUBLE THE EXPENSE: Darin and David Miller relax in the gym lobby at noon.

Cost 23 WINTER— action hot as weather cools Surviving the busy ac- tivities of fall, FHS moved into winter with a relaxed atmosphere. Christmas break was not far away and stu- dents worked a little harder to bring their grades up before the next semester started. Early in December Chuck Neufeld and Kay Thomas participated in All-State Band try-outs. Both Kay and Chuck were members of the All-State Jazz Band but neither had previously been in the prestigious concert band. Kay Thomas qualified and participated in the band in January with her alto sax. December offered more than Santa Clause and wreathes of holly to students. Open house was held before Christmas break.

Science classes conducted experi- ments and the PE stu- dents bounced, rolled, and tumbled for the entertainment of the visitors. Basketball season pushed on with games every Tuesday and Fri- day night. Tournament demanded much of the team's time. The boys placed fifth in the Heri- tage Hall Tournament. The girls finished sec- ond to rival Kingfisher in the All-girls' tourney at Elk City. Christmas kept peo- ple busy buying pre- sents, decorating trees, homes, and even the school, caroling at grandparents' houses and vacationing. The STUCO sponsored a film for the student body 'Cat Balloo' with Jane Fonda and Lee Marvin. Many of the students were disap- pointed that there were no cartoons, but as the saying goes, You can't have 'Cat Balloo' and cartoons too. As the new year started English IV pupils began work on their research papers. Late night hours, bib cards and notes kept fatigue high. Trips to the Enid Phillips, OSU, OU and other libraries demand- ed all the spare time they could muster. Tne Soundsations, a show choir from NWOSU, presented an assembly in January.

Kenny Wanzer was crowned FHA Beau by Pres. Sheila Warner. The band performed a concert before their district contest. As February rolled in FHS went basketball crazy. The boys team captured the district ti- tle despite the loss of its two postmen, Tom Pearson and Matt Card. The girls' team lost to Laverne at districts, beat Boise City then lost to Pioneer in the Regional Tournament. Head coach Leon Wright was unable to attend the play-offs due to a death in his family. While the girls were eliminated, however, the boys steamed on, beating Hooker in the semi-finals of Regionals 47-38.

For athletes practice was sweat, run, sweat, run and sweat some more. Football players had to practice in temperatures ranging from 95 degrees down to 22 in November.

Cheerleaders took the weather in stride. After the long, hot weeks at camp, nothing could stop their practice. When the weather was bad, they just took to the gym corridor to complete their new routines and plan the pep assemblies. The weather also affected the driver's ed students. When the sky was filled with snow or rain, Mr. Richard Beck took the opportunity to do some classroom drills rather than to trust his students on the streets. From season to season, different musical groups found themseves at 7:30 a.m. practices. The flag corps rehearsed many nights, working on routines, new maneuvers and disciplined marching styles. Practice was as much a part of the year as blue jeans and tee shirts. The daily grind wouldn't have been the same without it, for as the saying goes, practice makes perfect — well, almost.

Reon used her bake daily to go to work at the Fellowship Home. 26 Gettin' There Getting there— anyway possible As the cost of gas and oil soared, innova- tive students looked for new and cheaper ways of 'gettin' there.' Mopeds, bikes, roller- skates, skateboards, jogging and even walk- ing were some of the money-saving ways to get around. Daily stories of the misadventures of the car drivers were dis- cussed by the hour, during school and after — How Sandi Booth parked in the parking lot after band each morning — What un- fortunate soul took Kyle Williams' parking place — Leaving the windows open with a rain storm coming up, and not being able to get out of class to close them — Broderick Bar- kett parking too close to the curb, getting his door stuck in the ground, backing up, and springing the door. There were fender benders at concerts and $25 parking viola- tions at OSU during ACT tests. Sometimes gas was not the only ex- pense for transporta- tion. The expense was worth it though. When students could not fight the urge, they would hit Main Street at 7:00 p.m. and drive until 11:00. When they wanted to get out among people without wasting gas, they drove to Ideal's, Pizza Hut's or Farmer and Merchant's parking lots and waited for a crowd to gather. Many people found NEW SKATES. Juniors Terri McKee and Debby Stepp speed around the corner of the school during semester test week. easier ways to save gas and have fun doing it. Skating on the streets became popular soon after Christmas when temperatures began to rise (and after skates were received for Christmas.) By the end of school, the sound of whirring plastic wheels on concrete sidewalks was common (and the sound of dogs barking as they chased the skat- ers.) Letters to Santa writ- ten to the STING at Christmas designated the Trans Am, Camaro, Cutlass and other sporty lookin cars, as the ideal present. At raduation, cars that ad good gas milage were on tne list of 'what to buy the gra- duate.' The skateboard moved into vogue as an effective means of transportation. For the younger set, the Moped and cycle got them where they were going without putting a strain on their allowance. HELPING HANDS.

Going to school day after day lis- tening to the same teach- ers gets monotonous. Over and over parts of speech in English, graphs in algebra, figures in ac- counting and drill lessons in typing (jet pretty boring by the third nine weeks. Sleeping in class is rare- ly seen in FHS but when it is everybody finds out quickly. Tne normal sleeping student usually doesn't sleep for just one hour but ends up waking up after the next hours class has already taken up, finding himself surround- ed by strange, smiling faces. Reading stories during English has found numer- ous students' collapsed heads down on the open English books. English teachers are continously trying to keep droopy- eyed students from 'zonk- ing out' on their books. After sitting through two or even four basket- ball tournament games waiting for the hometown team to play, bored spec- tators can be seen wig- gling on their seats wait- ing tor the action to be- gin. Early band practice finds half of tne band players marching in their sleep. After waking up a majority of them do know what to do. Writing weekly stories for yearbook drags on during the first semester but sticking with it pays off when the test of writ- ing copy becomes easier during the closing of the year. Every break was wel- comed — a fire or torna- do drill, an assembly, even the not-so-good magician was cheered. Working after school can also be a drag. A per- son gets a job to have spending money, then works so many hours that there is no time to spend it on those trips to Enid for a movie or to Oklaho- ma City for a concert. Even time for a visit with a friend or a late-date to the Sonic must take its turn to school and work. When the 180 seeming- ly endless school days are over and lockers are being cleaned out someone says, 'Boy, didn't this year go fast.' And, surprisingly, everyone agrees that it really did.

A majority of the students of FHS spend most of their spare time dragging Main. They say that America's favorite pass- time is baseball but in teenagers' hearts it seems that it is in the car going up and down a wide street. Radios and tapes blare out the favorite song and honking horns add to the noise as friend greets friend. During the winter. LET S ALL CO.

The pot holes that de- veloped during the win- ter, like the one that caused a rash of lost hub caps in front of Jensen's was repaired by the State Highway Department (since Main is also U.S. 60). The one stop light was overworked while the railroad crossing south- west of town was worked on, causing a de- tour at Main and Broad- way. Everyone found out low long the east-west light really is. However it gave ample time to catch up on the day's events being spelled out on the bank’s time and tem- perature sign. There are usually a few buildings that end up on the drag also. The bowl- ing alley with its lanes, pool tables and elec- tronic pinball machines was visited frequently by draggers. The Pizza Hut and the Sonic not only offer a turn-around area but also can provide the weary driver with re- freshments. One thing that one must not forget when dragging Main is that a car needs gas to keep on running. With the price of gas going up the stu- dents' favorite passtime might dwindle back into baseball. Going back and forth Main Street may have been the favorite thing , to do after school, but with harvest, jobs, soft- ball games, otner activi- ties and fast rising gas prices during the sum- mer, the Drag may come to an end. 30 Student Life GLARING LIGHTS.

Banquets pose more problems because, al- though the food is good (usually), it is also too dark to see what you are eating and you have to try to keep your food on the ta- ble instead of in your lap. On the other end of the scale are those who are on diets, trying to lose a few pounds, who have to walk past the new snack ma- chine in the corridor. However, they did cele- brate the arrival of the new juice machine. They also have the problem of going uptown with a friend like Toni (skinny) Jantz, who is eternally hungry, has pretzels, crackers, and chips in her car at all times, and always seems to get a friend to 'cheat'. Nutrition is not by any means a major factor in a student's mind at lunch. The main thing seems to be 'whatever you can get that is edible, and won't make you sick or late back to school.' The Sonic, Pizza Hut and Sinbads are major traffic jams as students try to avoid the school cafe- teria. Hamburger fries, water- melon feasts, and the yearbook ice cream party, all held at the park, and banquets from Home- coming to the Jr.-Sr. were extracurricular get-to- gethers that filled every- one completely and ruined many diets. STUFFING HIS FACE, Bobby Mallory takes complete advantage of the Booster Club Hamburger Fry. WHO WILL WIN the eating contest at Sadie Hawkins Day? Tony Detar, Kenny Wanzer, )eni Hepp, Tracey Osborne, Susan Voth, Chris Keeton, Anita Dow, and Pam Cravens are held in suspense as they watch Chris England, Don Chamberlain, and Dawson Bowers compete. Chris won the contest, eating weiners, bananas and sprite. Food 33 J}orn in turbulence, wrought with scandals, the seventies were not the happiest years. Pursued by spiraling inflation left high and dry by gas shortages, people sought a route of escape from the pressing realities of this decade. As a means of momen- tarily putting aside the many troubles that beset us, we turned to the past in a nostalgic search for a simpler way of life. Our attention turned to eras such as the 30's, 40's, and 50's when life seemed less complicated and the pres- tige of our nation was high. Many factors influ- enced this desire for a re- turn to the values of the past. Our failure in Viet- nam, the disillusionment of our government in the Watergate scandals, and failure of our economy to rid itself of soaring infla- tion, all set a mood of pes- simism and disgust with the present. We found our route of escape by involving our- selves with recent Ameri- can History and mimicked styles which had been considered outdated only a decade earlier. This feel- ing of return to basics and simplicity was strength- ened by the occurence of our nation's two-hun- dreth birthday in 1976. Across the nation, people sought the ideals and principles upon which our nation was built and expressed their findings in pageants, plays, and art. Many also dug for the roots of their families, and reestablished family trees that had been lost in ob- scurity. A Last look bAck AT tIie 70's In spite of the obsession with yesteryear, we were not so immersed in the past that we did not react to the present. As opposi- tion to the Vietnam war rose, so did the skirt lengths. During the early art of the decade skirts at .H.S. became so high that limits had to be set-as well as a maximum length for boy's hair. When the women's movement swept our society so did jeans and T-shirts and the nails of our school were filled with be-denimed students. Although many problems faced us, we learned from the past that problems have solutions. The glimpse of the past strengthened us for our future. FIGHTING INFLATION, Bel- tina Hale takes advantage of the F.H.A. shopping spree in Ideal's grocery store. What to expect from the 80 s |_ ooking ahead to the decade before us one could easily imag- ine that it will be filled with trouble and crises. Certainly, no one could deny that the events in Iran and Afghanistan, the mounting energy problems, ana spiraling inflation will be prob- lems that must be faced and reckoned with. However, having made it through the tumul- tous 70's it is easier to be optimistic about the 80's. For many students, college, marriage, full time jobs, and families. will come into their lives during this dec- ade. The coming years could bring further in- dustrial expansion to our town. While the craze for things of the past and the sweeping nostalgia of the 70's has left its mark, the future once again occupies our thoughts. Computer technology will contin- ue to affect our daily lives and may bring about innovations and changes which will be landmarks of the next ten years. Though we can't see the end from the beginning, it is probably safe to say that in spite of our foreboding, we will survive to worry about the 90's. 34 70's Feature A SURREY WITH A FRINGE ON TOP proceeds down Main Street in the nostalgic Bicentennial Parade.

In virtually every class one pupil could be heard saying that he CHECKING HIS EQUIPMENT OUT, Bruce Eitzen skis with the MBY group at Wolf Creek during spring break. TOP: SLIP SLIDIN' AWAY, Monty McMurphy and Nita Moneypenny go down the hill on part of a cardboard box at the Baptist hayride. 'would have done his homework but he just didn't have time.' Why is it that so many in our high school seem to be pla- gued by this 'lack of time', especially in the spring of the year? The problem is that many are involved in a large variety of extra-cur- ricular activities which re- quire a great deal of out- put in energy, as well as time. Conflicts with school activities are not rare and students often find themselves in a fran- tic dilemma between fam- ily responsibilities and outside committments. Though Fairview is not a large town, there is ample opportunity for a willing teenager to become in- volved. For example a typical day in the life of a Senior could include dropping off a sister at the ym for 7:00 a.m. basket- all shooting, driving to the music building for band rehearsal, going to school, leaving straight from school for a job, picking up a brother from tootbaTl, grabbing a quick bite to eat, returning to the gym for play practice, and falling asleep over a heavy English assignment. In a weelc of such days, the same Senior would have to find time for church groups, Explorers, FFA, a STUCO meeting, and a football game. If it seems that this person is the only one involved in everything possible, there are a large number of oth- ers equally involved in FHA, cheerleading, church singing groups, yearbook, the school pa- per staff, speech plays, school chorus, banquet preparations. National Honor Society projects and 4-H. As the school year pro- gresses, the complicated schedules become more so and the conflicts multi- ply.

While anxiety about keeping a relationship go- ing fills the thoughts of many steady daters, anxi- ety about getting a rela- tionship going is often the problem of others. Although worry over who to take to the ban- quet occurs fairly often, a more common type of date includes seeing a movie and eating out in Enid. Returning to Fair- view, the couple usually finds their way to an oil well road, cemetaries, air- port, a quiet country lane, or even to the school parking lot. There, in ad- dition to the usual activity (listening to the radio, talking, etc.), many hu- morous and interesting incidents occur which find their way through the grapevine back to the school.

The five top win- ners received citations from the House and Sen- ate along with Mrs. Geral- dine Burns, who was also given a standing ovation from the Senate. An unprecedented spring break was length- ened one day because teachers' meeting was held on the Friday before it began. Many students hit the ski slopes of New Mexico and Colorado. Shelly McAtee went to Disney World. Those who stayed home helped with spring cleaning or worked extra hours at jobs. Year- book staff members at- tended the spring OIPA meeting and the FHA gir' had their pictures taken for a special Rally feature for the Sunday Oklaho- man.

Banquet If there is one group of events that is equally dreaded and anticipated by students and teachers, it is the end of school ban- quet circuit. Kicking off the end of the year activities, the Ju- nior-Senior banquet is, by far the most formal occa- sion. A small group of en- ergetic Juniors put to- gether a unique event on April 26 with the theme, an Oriental Enkai (Japa- nese for feast). Transform- ing the Major County Fair Building into an Oriental restaurant was no easy task. The All-Sports, Band, and FFA banquets are were equally important. Among those receiving circuit recognition were Chuck Neufeld, outstanding jazz musician; Kay Thomas, outstanding concert band member; Mike Belter, best football player; John Curtis, best all-around athlete; and Vince McColden, FFA Star Chapter Farmer; with Kay Thomas being crowned band queen and Terri McKee crowned FFA queen. By the time the last plate was cleared away and the last scrap of streamer torn down, most had grown weary of set- ting up, dressing up, and cleaning up — but it was worth it — for the sake of tradition.

Last big rush M Never has a month been packed so full, or passed so fast. Events for which we had waited finally arrived and were over before we realized it. Plans and preparations that had taken our time for the recent weeks be- came reality, and we breathed a sigh of relief as we saw our jobs well done. This was the last big month, and it began in a big way. The band, which had been running from one contest to another all year, displayed its ability to put in a final effort by winning the Sweepstakes award at Tri-State. Though members of the group had complained that the last minute deci- BOOGIE ON DOWN, Bobby Bennett, Darin Miller, and Tina McDaugale spent part of their evening dancing at the Sophomore party. sion to enter the Enid contest was more than they could take, they were glad that the rushed attempt had brought tri- umph. Needless to sav, the month was busy for ev- eryone, but juniors and seniors, especially, seemed to be meeting themselves coming and going. In fact, the juniors coula not even find time for a class party. However, the sophomores were able to hold an evening of activities at Cheyenne Valley Gym, and the freshmen went to Enid for Roller Skating and Pizza. The flurry of activity which goes with closing the year properly reached a new high on Sadie Haw- kins' Day. Though this day included an afternoon of recreation, the morning was taken up with the all school talent show, and STUCO election speech- MARK CRASH' CASTLEBERRY, running for STUCO V-Pres. goes out on stage to give his speech at the talent show. Mark was elected the following week. AMUSING, DRAMATIC, SAD, Aletha Sandefur gives a reading at the Sadie Hawkins talent show. Last Big Rush 43 Last big es. There was wide par- ticipation in the talent show but three of the four STUCO offices were un- contested. For many students, their year of work in class was rewarded at the Awards Assembly the fol- lowing Monday. An effi- ciently run and enthusias- tic assembly was a wel- come change from the long and sometimes bor- ing ones of the past. Suddenly, the last big week was upon us. Sen- iors were kept running with Mrs. Burns' four page schedule, as juniors prepared for their part in the commencement ac- tivities by finding roses to pick for the traditional arches. Meanwhile, many freshmen and sophmores rush (cont.) scrambled to get old as- signments in and get ready for semester tests. Upperclassmen were also caught in the last rush of homework and head- aches, as they stayed after class typing and taking tests in order to make the grade. Many of us were so caught up in school activi- ties that we were unaware of the world outside of Fairview. While we franti- cally prepared for the final days of the school year, thousands of Cuban refu- gees were pouring into the U.S., and Mt. St. He- lens was spouting angry red lava. To us, the Cuban problem was of no great concern, and our biggest worry about the volcano was that it might cause rain on commencement night. Of course, a few of us were more concerned about who shot j.R. Ewing on the popular evening soap opera 'Dallas'. In our town, a visit from the governor on the occa- sion of the presentation of the State's Small Business- man of the Year award to Don Martens, and the completion of Ewald's new Tire Center were big events during the week ot our big event-Com- mencement. An apprecia- tive group of teachers held a roast of departing superintendent Mr. Bob Van Meter at the teach- ers' dinner during this week as well. Of all the rushing that went on, the biggest rush was to complete this year- book. The staff not only met during the last week of school, but part of the staff continued to meet into the middle of June. Several factors contribut- ed to the late completion of the book, not the least of these being that we were not visited by the company rep until March. However, late nights and long afternoons finally saw the book completed and the Last Big Rush end- ed one week after our last deadline.

Last Big Rush 45 Personalities cause the difference most faces change, but the people behind tnem are the same. Most people change, but the faces that represent them are the same. That's the way it was with people. That's why 1980 was different. Freshmen will always be fresh- men, but the Class of '83 had a definite drive. The Jr. Hi. football team, basketball team and track team didn't win their conference for nothing. The seniors fulfilled their leadership positions in posi- tive ways. Four honor students were chosen for Co-Valedictori- ans and Co-Saltuatorians. The faculty and administration worked hard to teach old material in new ways, to make each class learn just as well or better than the class before it had. Individuals made their marks also. Comic-book collector Clay- ton Dow knows that he owns a priceless collection as a result of the nostalgic '70's. Darin and Da- vid Miller, twins of the sopho- more class, kept everybody guess- ing which was which while mak- ing themselves well-known as standouts in the crowd. Mean- while, the southpaws of FHS had problems in today's right-handed society. Whatever the face or personal- ity, a school wouldn't be a school without the people inside. FHS certainly wouldn't be a special place if the students and faculty wren't as diverse as they are com- mon. These are the people of FHS. They are the same, but they are different. 46 People Division CROW'S CLAN. Steve Schmidt posts a spirit sign from Andy Shewey's sophomore fan club. Crow's Clan functioned during basketball.

'We put in close to fifty hours working together, not counting the individual research,' Kay com- mented. 'I felt like a hyprocrite at times, because we talked specificly about snacking between meals as a bad habit; but everytime we met together we had cookies, donuts, brownies and cokes,' Chuck con- fessed. Writing a speech wasn't the only thing the four had in com- mon. Darryl was honorable men- tion in the state Ability Counts es- say contest while Kay, Chuck, and Susan were first, second and third. Those three received two-year scholarships. All four received nu- merous awards and scholarships. The students think alike on many issues. All four list Mr. Don Rippetoe, former FHS math teacher, as one of their favorites. All are active in their church youth groups and all are good friends. Not limited to being brains, Kay was Major Country Fair Queen and a class officer. Susan was Homecoming Queen, NW Area Basketball queen and treasurer of the STUCO.

But after 14 days of rest and relatives, I wanted to go back to school. Everyone had a lot to tell about the gifts they received and the New Year's parties they attend- ed. Senior pictures arrived today. Ev- eryone got excited about exchang- ing them. The girls' basketball team is having a tougn time adjusting to a completely different coach. The boys' team is better than it has been in a couple of years. Snyder ended our State trip hopes witn an at-the- buzzer shot. My research paper is almost fin- ished. If I have to make another bib card, I think I'll croak. Mrs. Burns is really pushing us hard to finish. Feb.: Time for the annual Sweet- heart Banauet. It made the seniors teary-eyeo to think this is the last one they will attend. March and April: The band has won all the awards — even State Sweepstakes, Seven winning sen- iors, Mrs. Burns, Mr. Denton and parents went to OKC for the Abili- ty Counts Banquet with the gover- nor. Then, Kay Thomas took her prize trip to Washington. May is busiest. I am addressing announcements while working on class night and going to banquets. May: I got a lump in my throat as the class of '79 marched through the rose arches. I guess it's kinda neat to be a senior. Aug.: Today was really exciting because we took senior pictures. Everyone looked sharp. Tim McCall couldn't tie his tie, so Darryl Smith did it for him. First Day of school: I finally made it. I'm now a senior. It's hard to be- lieve this is my last year! The fresh- men seem smaller than ever. The football team really looks good. There is a new coach (Skip Baird) and all the cuys really like him.

REGINA REEVES-Lib. 4; Vo-Tech 3.4, 52 Seniors CONEHf ADS Darryl Smith and Kyle Williams speak 'of consuming mass quantities as they emcee Class Night activities. Diary: Skip day I've never seen people so wet and dirty in all my life. The class took its day off to Roman Nose State Park and we really had a blast. We had to have commence- ment rehearsal before we left. The archbearers looked as bad as we did on our first try. They Kyle Williams got a bunch of guys to move sofas and clean up from class night. Mrs. Burns was so pressed for time, she told them to forget it until we got home. I couldn't believe all the food we took. I helped carry about 15 boxes down from the bus. There must have been a hundred fried chickens. The food was probably the best part of the picnic. The volleyball matches were really neat. All the athletic guys were trying to get the athletic girls to play on their team. The net was so high that only Tom Pearson, Matt Gard, and Chris Keeton could spike the ball. We played for hours. The real entertainment started when Terry Fettke began throw- ing mud. About ten people came up from the creek slinging mud at the volleyball players. The game stopped and everybody grabbed some mud and splattered it all over the attackers. Terry was cov- ered from head to toe. I didn't think I was going to get wet at all because the pool was closed, but I got thrown into the creek by Lowell Cunningham and Kerry Hicks. I think everyone got wet in some way, even Mr. Freed. Well, almost everyone. Mrs. Burns escaped because, well, because she's Mrs. Burns. If seniors always acted like we did today, they would be put back in kindergarten. As soon as we got off the bus, about fifteen guys climbed on the merry-go-round. Before we left Curtis Stewart and Tim McCall got spun by Monty McMurphy until tney were sick. Everyone had planned to get some rest on skip day. Some of the girls really thought they were going to. They put on their swim suits and tried to get a tan. They were disturbed when the water fights started. In fact, they were the first ones to get hit. I don't think they even knew what hit them. One minute they were ly- ing there nice and peaceful, then, SPLASH-they were screaming and carrying on. Every time Sandi Booth changed clothes, someone would get her again until she didn't have any dry clothes left. Monty McMurphy Bob Mallory Tammy Medley Deborah Mills Julee Molidor Nita Moneypenny Leland Murray Chuck Neufeld Tracey Osborn Billy Ottwell Reon Patzkowsky Tom Pearson Freddie Platt Regina Reeves Seniors 53 Diary: Skip week I don't know why they call it skip week. Mrs. Burns handed us a four page list of things to do in the last two weeks of school. THURSDAY: Today seniors took semester tests. We also had baccalaureate practice. It was nice not to get up until 9:30 a.m. Marching is going to be harder than I thought. We had all afternoon to work on Class Night. Craig Edkins had been working hard. He almost has the script written. FRIDAY: I had to get up earlier this morning to check out my cap and gown. Rehearsals went better today, but I'm getting sick of 'Pomp and Circumstance.' Mr. Denton handed out a mil- lion awards during the Awards As- sembly. SUNDAY: I couldn't believe the way the class marched in. It was so much better than at rehearsal. The only bad thing was that our class Marshal, Toni Jantz, didn't have a chair to sit and had to walk all the way around to the outside aisle. The chorus sang. Chuck Neufeld played his trombone. Everytime there was a prayer, I thought my cap was on sideways. The gym was hot and my tie kept scratching my neck but I couldn't turn my head to make it stop. MONDAY: We spent all day setting up for Class Night. The theme is 'Saturday Night Live.' Right at the beginning there is a toilet flush and Darryl Smith and Kyle Williams come out zipping their pants. There are some tunny skits and spoofs. At the end, be- fore Mr. Denton hands out schol- arships, the announcer says, 'And now, kiddies, it's time for the Mr. Bill Show.' TUESDAY: Class Night was ter- rific. Kay Thomas gave the class will pretending to be Rosanne Rosanna Danna. The prophecy was done like a weekend update interview. All during the proph- ecy Derek Wymer would come running in shouting, 'I've done it! I've done it!' But when Susan Glas- gow and Craig Edkins asked him what he had done, he always for- got. The last time, he replied, 'I finished my research paper.' It was so like Derek that the whole audi- ence roared. THURSDAY: This was the big day. Commencement is over ana I've graduated. Actually, I am writ- ing this on Friday because I stayed out all night and didn't have time to write Thursday. The class met at the Hi-Way Cafe for breakfast. Tim McCall and Cheryl Bennett cracked everyone up when Mr. Denton gave his last speech to the class. Right in the middle, they held up a sign that said 'YAWN' and everyone did. It was the first time I had ever seen Mr. Denton speechless. After we had com- mencement practice and the class pictures were taken, I registered to vote. The whole commencement ex- ercise went well, Cheryl Bennett played her trumpet ana it almost made me cry. The co-salutatory and co-valedictory address was the first formal speech I had ever listened to. Getting my diploma wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be. I didn't even stumble. The city auditorium was packed for the reception given for us by our mothers. After that, I went to the Bowling Alley with the rest of the class. The lanes and food were free because the parents were picking up the tab. There were lots ot parties afterward. Some people went to the lake and some drove around town. There were a bunch of guys who put some of the teacher's cars up on blocks. Last week went by so fast, I hardly had time to enjoy it. It has finally hit me. Being a senior is just another step in growing up — but it was worth the trouble.

Lefties feel they are discriminat- ed against because most products are made for right handea people. Products made specifically for lefties usually cost more and are relatively hard to find, according to James Pratt who orders regular- ly from a strictly left-handedcata- log company. A major complaint of both right and left handed people is that when a lefty and a righty sit down to eat, they often get more el- bows in the sides than food in the mouth. Dottie Pearson said she uses her left hand for everything and that her right hand is completely use- less.

David and Darin Miller so closely resemble each other that most people don't take time to learn which is which. In reality thev are two different people witn different personalities and opinions. AT THE M.B. CHURCH, Darin and David Miller participate together in the singing group 'Shine', though they often pursue individual interests. It's easy to see why people mis- take them for one another, since they don't even use mirrors to see how they look. They just look at each other to see if their clothes or hairstyle looks right. Not only do they look alike but they have, basically, talents in the same area, like sports and music. They also have common interests in FFA, athletics, church, and girls. Darin and David have strong feelings about being twins. They want to be separate people. They travel in different circles of friends. They also express a dislike of wearing matching clothes. Some of the problems they have because there are two of them: Everything they buy costs double, people don't think of them as in- dividuals, and though members of their families know which is which and how they feel about being in- dividuals, they often get tnem something together or the same thing, at Christmas or on their birthdays. There are some advan- tages since they are well known to the whole town. In spite of some bad side-effects of being twins, David and Darin enjoy oeing who they are. Though they don't plan to stay to- gether all their lives they have ex- perienced a unique way of grow- ing up. Actually, that is the only way tney know. CLASS OFFICERS: FRONT ROW Rept.

Too short for what? marathon man goes distance When you are too small for football, too short for basketball, and don't like baseball what do you do for en- joyment? Run! Kevin Helton found the an- swer to that question. He is 5 feet and weighs 82 pounds, so he runs in track and marathons. He has been in 2 marathons, Chisholm Trail Run in Enid, Oklahoma and Mustang Fun Sun Run in Mustang, Oklaho- ma. The longest race he has been in was the Chisholm one, it was 26 miles. Kevin has very good self-discipline, his parents never have to say, Kevin go out and run now so you can keep in shape. But his parents do go with him to the mara- thons to support him. Most of Kevin's marathons are in the fall, and he doesn’t always run against people his own age. He started running about 3 years ago when he found the talent ne had been waiting for while most of the other guys in his class were playing football, basketball and KEEPING IN SHAPE, Kevin Helton runs his usual route of 16 miles each day preparing for his marathons. baseball. Kevin thinks his size is a dis- advantage in road racing because the larger people have longer strides while Kevin has a shorter stride. Ke- vin likes to run even though it gets tough toward the end of the race. As a runner Kevin has learned to ress on toward goals. As a person evin has some goals of his own. During track season he hopes to qualify for State, and as a marathon runner he wants to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Tne qualifying time for the Boston is 2 hours and 50 minutes. Kevin's time is 3 hours and 26 minutes. Kevin also feels he will reach his peak as a runner when he is 29 years old. Running for Kevin ful- fills a basic need common to every- one, the need to be outstanding at something. • Phyllis Larkin .

This class of energetic bodies, who participate in basketball, football, baseball, track, FHA, and FFA, reflect the spirit that in- cludes, victory, defeat, and good sportsmanship. Everything that goes on in the normal day at school involves a certain amount of 'good, ole' fa- shioned effort and cheerfulness. Whether they are doing an Alge- bra assignment, taking an English test, or being embarrassed doing 'dumb-stuff' during initiation, the Freshman do it with a flair all their own. Misty Meier, Jr. Hi. Basketball player, was questioned on what she thought about the level of school spirit, to which she replied, I think that there was a good amount of it but there is never enough as far as I'm concerned. Being here at the high school, and being included has made me feel more like one of the gang. , stated Tammi Jensen. After shyly joining the upper- classmen, at the Welcome Back Watermelon Feed and the Year- book Signing party, Homecoming gave them their first taste of the excitement, frustration, and fun that 'just being included' involves. Adding their own bit of fun, the new Oklahoma History classes brought back an old tradition and re-en- acted the Oklahoma State Run through the halls and presented a play, House of Stairs at the Open House. School spirit is not iust being at all the football, basketball, and baseball games. It's only just the emotion-packed fan who regular- ly falls down the bleachers from enthusiasm. It's not just cheering till you're hoarse and blue in the face. School spirit is the ability to keep rooting for your team even when they are getting skunked. School spirit is the ability to pass a math test, or even flunk it, and still have a good day. School spirit is meeting your guy in the lobby, passing notes in the hall, and gos- sipping with your friends. School spirit is being there, being includ- ed, and having fun.

Thompson HURRY UP, I'M BEHIND SCHEDULE! Mrs Peggy Fettke hustles everyone onto the shuttle bus intuitively sensing that she's a couple of minutes late. In August, I noticed that three women, Barbara Carey, Judy Wilson, and Peggy Fettke were listed in the local paper as bus drivers. I remember thinking the paper will have to print another 'We're Sorry' next week, because these women are obviously going to be cooks. As it turned out, they were going to drive buses after all. Now, the year over, I found they related well with the students, and, in general, per- formed their duties excellently!! In talking with Peggy Fettke, I discovered that it wasn't originally her idea to drive a bus, but Supt. Bob Van Meter's instead. He had called and asked her if she would consider it, knowing how well Peggy liked kids and enjoyed be- ing around them. After a few months of driving the shuttle bus at the high school, Peegy said, basically, 99% of all kios are Rood, and I feel that they are wortn doing somethine for ' Although Peggy gets ribbeoabout being a 'woman driver', she knows it's all in fun and thorough- ly enjoys her work.

They are more often found hanging out at the drug stores and in T.G. Y. But the favorite pastime of all is horseback riding. Michelle Card, one of the more devoted equestriennes, has been entering her horse in contests for the past two summers and has brought home more than 10 rib- bons. When asked if Mxhelle enjoys getting ready for a f’orse show, she replied, ''Preparing the horse for a snow can be pretty monoto- nous but placing makes it all worth while. Other eighth graders such as Jane Edwards, like to run barrels in rodeo competition. And LeAnne Shaffer is interested in working with horses, not so much for the competition as just for the fun of it.

The average sev- enth grader watches over 3V4 hours of TV a week day and more on weekends. It’s no wonder they do, because 39% own their own TV and one half of those are color sets. The most popular TV shows are 'Dukes of Hazzard 'Hogan's He- roes 'BJ and the Bear 'Chips,' and the 'White Shadow.' (Almost half of the seventh graders watch TV and do their home work at the same time.) TV does have its advantages. (Parents probably have heard that one before!) It is a great place to find English theme ideas. Histori- cal facts can be learned, and new vocabulary words are abundant. Not concentrating on home- -Homework kseot to TV RIDE 'EM COWGIRL!

In a recent survey of all 56 sev- enth graders, most have four or more people in their family, and Jerry Hobbs has eight. Rnonda Simmons reported that she has five people and one very lovable cat in her family.

Cleaning a room is impossible for many students-trying to throw away a favorite stuffed animal even if its ears and eyes are missing, baseball cards, pull-tab chains-all must go. But collections have become an important part of each sixth graders life. Mark Wilson has a captivating stamp collection which he started two years ago is is now valued at $3,500. The ol- dest stamp Mark possesses is dated 1868 and is an Abranam Lincoln stamp. When this enthusiast purchased the stamp, he paid a low price of 18 t. Add- ed to his collection are two unusual stamps, one of a Belguim 1000 Anniver- sary, the other is a Love Stamp. Mark's most valuable stamp is worth $365. Stamp collecting can be a rewarding hobby. Mark, who has had an early start, will truly benefit from his remark- able stamp collection. Sixth graders not only collect, they are imaginative collectors as well.

Now, this is not to say that Max does not participate in other things, in fact, he enjoys such activities as much as any other ten year old, and often spends his time in pursuit of them. There are times, however, when he gets out mixing bowls and measur- ing cups and pursues his unique nobby with vigor. Max discovered his talent for cooking two years ago as a third grader. He requiredno coaxing or cajoling to inspire him to try. He simply came across an inter- esting recipe for brownies in the newspaper and decided he would cook them for himself instead of bothering his moth- er. Since then he has made cakes, brownies, cookies, jello salads, omelettes, french toast, sausage, bacon, and scrambled eggs. For an aspiring chef of ten this is not an unimpressive rep- ertoire. In fact, he has become so roficient at baking brownies that e had the first place batch in the 1978 Major County Free Fair. Though he has tried several rec- ipes, Max says that chocolate chip cookies are his favorite thing to bake. Why? Because they are his favorite thing to eat.

Susan Wilder Becky Wilson Carmen Wright Todd Young Fifth Grade 77 Desire creates the difference Individuals wouldn't be good if there was not a good team be- hind them. Teams would not be good if there were not good indi- viduals in the ranks. That's the way it was with sports. That's why 1980 was different. The football team had more players than any team in the last seven years. The girls' basketball team learned to depend on every player on the court and the new coach, Leon Wright. The boys' basketball team went the farthest it has gone in a decade with 13 seniors stabalizing the group. The baseball team, in its thircf year, doubled the games won over the total of the two previous years. The girls' track team sent two in- dividuals and the 880 relay team to the state track finals. Roger Fast and Kyle Williams represented the boys' track team well when Roger placed first in the 330 inter- mediate hurdles, second in the 120 high hurdles and Kyle placed fourth in the shot. Team events weren't the only sports, though. Spring break gave many a chance to snow ski in the Mountains of Colorado and New Mexico. Micah Lynch rode in the Nat'l H.S. Finals Rodeo for the third summer in a row. The sum- mer provided others with the op- portunity to water ski and canoe. John Curtis missed the state golf tournament by one stroke. Kevin Helton won several awards in marathons around the state. Whatever the sport, life wouldn't be the same without competition. FHS certainly wouldn't be as interesting if indi- viduals and teams did not perform throughout the year. These are the sports of FHS. They are the same, but they are different. 78 Sports Division BOMBS AWAY! John Curtis and Jim Fast storm the goal for a rebound while Snyder's 34 fights for position.

Go it alone There are those who prefer to 'go it along' to fish or hunt, to run or ski. They compete against themselves to run a better mile, to ride a meaner bull, or even to try to catch Wally Walleye in the Canton Fish Rodeo. Some found themselves in the gym at 7:00 a.m. working to improve their gymnastic styles. Some worked on their golf or weight lifting so they would be ready for any competition. Most do it without any applsuse. Few friends were there when Micah Lynch bucked to a nation- al placing in the high school rodeo. It was most- ly just family who cheered Kevin Helton across the finish line during his mar- athon runs. The fact is, sportsmen do it because they like it. Weather was the most important influence on the golf team. They were rained out, stormed out or blown out of every meet except Regionals. Held in Fairview, the weather was so nice that the team almost couldn't cope. John Curtis missed a chance of going to state by one stroke. Strawn Steel led the team in lost golf balls when he drove tour into a water hazzard at Alva. The team was leading the meet at Weatherford when it was called off for rain (after one hole.)

The Jackets started out with a four game winning streak and closed with a five game losing season with a tenth game win. The game with Hennes- sey became a marathon with seven OT setting a state record. The whole season was a marathon of excitement and sorrow for the coaches, players, and fans. The Jackets started their two-a-days under a new coaching staff on August 15 with temperatures in the 90's. Head coach, Skip Baird, said about the sec- ond scrimmage with Shat- tuck, 'The coaching staff was relatively pleased with the showing made by the Yellowjacket football team.' This statement held true through the two scrimmages and ten games of the Jacket sea- son. 'Orange Crush' echoed in the Thomas locker room after the Jackets had a thrilling victory over the playoff-bound Thomas Terriers. Thomas was picked to win by the pa- pers-a fact seemed to spark life into the Jacket team. A large crowd estimat- ed at over 2,500 watched the first home ball game. Fairview slipped by the Seiling Wildcats by a nar- row 3 point margin during the first Jacket overtime for the season. The Jackets traveled to Sayre the next game. Fair- I view blitzed the Eagles in I the last few minutes to come from 18 points be- hind to win 19-18. Homecoming was a suc- cess with the Jackets out- classing the Okeene Whippets 30-14. The Jr. Varsity was able to play the 4th quarter and still keep the lead. Tne winning streak was stopped short as the Jack- ets lost 5 games in a row. 0 ■ TOUCHDOWN!

The Jackets were not able to stop the Eagles powerful running attack when Fairview met Weatherford. Fairview was able to hold the Ea- gles the first half but Weatherford powered through the second half for the Jacket first loss of the season. Fumbles kept the Jack- ets from scrambling past the Tigers when they went up against Laverne. According to Coach Skip Baird, 'Fairview was beat- en by what might just be ame turned into a foot- all marathon with seven overtimes with Hennessey coming out with the win. Two Jacket fourth quar- ter scores were not enough to defeat the Wa- tonga Eagles. The Jackets were not able to hold back Watonga's powerful offensive showing when we went to the Eagle field. Three Jacket mistakes allowed the Longhorns to score when Fairview met Chisholm for the next-to- last game of the regular season. Chisholm went on to win as Fairview dropped their fourth dis- trict game. The Jackets closed their season with a win over the Cherokee Chiefs.

The Eagles outlasted the Jackets 22-19. 85 ---Fifteen points says —'champs’ A slow start against Car- r'r eT and Alva had the Jackets fired up for the Mooreland game. Led by team captains, Mike Pern- brook and Timmy Tucker, they pounded tne Bear- cats 27-0. Anxious to even their record they held Okeene scoreless and with long touchdowns by David Sauls and Luke Howard, they whipped the Whippets 14-0. The Watonca Eagles de- fense put a nault to the Jackets two game winning streak. Todd Eitzen said It was a tough game and we out-played them on the field but we lost on the scoreboard. Losing the toss of the coin was a paradox as the Jackets beat Laverne by a touch down.

GUARDING THE MIDDLE Darryl Smith (20) spreads his arms to keep the pass from entering the lane. Fairview beat Okarche 64-25 claiming the Regional Championship. Season How was the season? Just terrific! Oh, it had its bad moments, but the team never got down on themselves. That's right. I was there. When we lost to Cuymon, the locker room was as quiet as a study hall when every- one's studying. But, the next day the Jackets went out and beat Luther 43- 18. Then in mid-season Coach Richard Beck (he was new to Fairview) come up with this idea to pep everybody up before a game. As the players were introduced they'd find someone and 'lay on some skin.' I think it helped. At least the re- cord improved. Talk about tough! The schedule was crazy — a class 2A school playing a class 3A schedule. Tne funny thing is, Fairview beat most of the bigger schools — at least once. Going into the playoffs without the services of top rebounder Tom Pear- son and high scoring Matt Gard, things could have been bad. It turned out okay though. The Jackets beat Mooreland and won the district title. Then they defeated Hooker in the Regional semi-final. I thought the biggest game of the season was going to be against Okarche, last year's state champ, in the finals of re- gionals. But we beat them 54-52 in an exciting dis- play of teamwork. Man, the team was happy. They had their first regional trophy in 13 years and a berth in the area finals. The team was playing better than ever. When I saw Snyder warm up — 6'5 , 6'5'', 67 , 6'2 , 6'1 — I was worried. Snyder had been to the state fin- als two of the last three years, but we kept up with them. The score was tied 34-34. With four seconds left we were ahead by one point. I never saw Snyder throw the ball in bounds. But I did see a player shoot a 45-foot despera- tion shot — then I saw the ball go in. I couldn't be- lieve it. Snyder was jum- pin' around and screamin' and everyone from Fair- view just stood there. We had lost. The shot should just as well have ended the sea- son. Fairview had a chance to go to state the next night but lost 47-43. Ed. note: Snyder made it to the state finals and was leading by one point with four seconds to play. Konowa threw in the ball, and with a desperation shot from midcourt won the ball game. D 3 o. FAST BREAK! Vince McGolden (11) anticipates a Moreland move in the jacket's 67-51 District win. H.S. Basketball 89 Jr. hi. rolls w ith a record of 16 wins and three losses there was no doubt that the Jr. High Basketball team was looked up to and feared. Freshman, Luke Howard, 6'2 , bombed the net for an average of 12.7 points. After two early losses, by one point to Lomega ana by 2 points to Alva in the second game of the Woodward tournament the team won eight straight games, includ- ing a 12 point win over Alva. On Saturday night, Jan. 12, the Jr. squad downed Wood- ward to become champs of their own invitational tour- nament. Two nights later, Woodward retaliated by giv- ing the Jackets their worst defeat 31-23. The awesome Jackets de- feated their next six oppo- nents. — j.v. b°unces D own nine points with three minutes left to a the junior varsity team ed an exciting, overtime victory over Weatherford. Composed of five juniors and eleven sophomores, the j.v. team lost the first round of the Helena Training School Tournament by one point to Alva then swept the next two games to bring home the consolation tro- phy. Although the team never quite achieved the point to- tals one would like to see, fundamentally, this group was one of the best, Coach Richard Beck said.

Basketball 91 —Adapting ---to a new head coach M ext to the weather, people in Fairview probably talk more about sports than any other top- ic. They discuss a coming game and then 'replay' the winning basket, touchdown, or homerun. The high school girls' basketballteam was talked about over many cups of coffee as people speculat- ed the outcome of the team after its first coach- ing change in 15 years. When Coach Don Rip- petoe left Fairview to coach in Altus, many peo- ple weren't sure the girls could adapt to sucn a change. But as Coach Leon Wright showed his skill, the girls showed their adjustability by mak- ing it to the Regional play- offs and ending the sea- son with 16 wins and 9 losses. The Jackets split the first four games of the sea- son defeating Pioneer and Hennessey, falling to Alva, and then to Weatherford in the first game of the Alva Northwestern Invita- tional. By defeating Lu- ther and Cleveland in the next two games, the girls won the consolation tro- phy. Terri McKee was named to the All-Tourna- ment team. After outsmarting the Watonga Eagles for a vic- tory, despite a stall game strategy, the Jackets soundly defeated arch-ri- val Cnisholm, though somewhat disadvantaged with Mary Steidl and An- gela Kliewer out with in- juries.

After suffering defeat from high-ranking Woodward, the Jackets split two games with Weatherford and then kept the nets popping with a six game winning streak, two of those games putting them in the finals with Kingfisher at the Western All-Girls Tourna- ment in Elk City. The girls put up a tremendous fight against the nothing-less- tnan-awesome Kingfisher team and came out on the low end of the score to place second in the tour- nament. After a close loss to Chisholm and a big one to Alva the Jackets ended their brief three-game losing streak by defeating Hennessey and Watonga in their final games before District competition. In District playoffs, the iris suffered a narrow, eartbreak defeat at the hands of Laverne, 26-27, and entered Regionals in the losers' bracket. Outplaying, outmaneu- vering and most impor- tantly outscoring Boise City enabled the Jackets to move to the second game of Regionals for a rematch with Pioneer. The girls fought to stay on top, but the efforts failed along with hopes of going on in the playoffs when Pioneer edged them 42- 40. The only happy Fair- view person was Juay Ma- jor Piper, new coach of the Pioneer team. p ielding their shortest ’ team in years, it seemed to the Jr. High girls that they had to 'look up' to all their opponents. Freshman Kim Koehn at 5'6 was the tallest on the team. Speedy little for- wards Misty Meier, who averaged 14.3 points a ame, and eightn grader andy Stepp, with an 8.3 average, led all the scor- ers. With first team guards Suanne Wymer, Michelle Freed and Tammi Jensen, the jr. girls met the chal- lenges of powerhouses like Woodward and Alva. The season was marked with come-from-behind challenges and 4th quar- ter let-aowns, but always there was exciting basket- ball when the Jr. High girls took the court.

Roger Fast, following in the footsteps of Steve Za- horski (1975) won a first place in the state track meet in the intermediate hurdles with a time of 39.5 Then Roger ran the high hurdles and came in sec- ond in a photo finish with the 1st place winner. Meanwhile across the field, Kyle Williams placed 4th in shot put with a 487% toss. Missing out on the trip to state by a narrow mar- gin were the 2-mile and mile relays when they both placed 4th at Re- gionals. Members of the mile relay were Darryl Smith, Guy Swanson, Rog- er Fast, and Bob Mallory. In the 2-mile Mark Castle- berry replaced Roger. Sophomore Kevin Hel- ton was also a regular placer in the 2-mile run. eam size I he Jr. Jackets also profited from the new track when they conclud- ed their season as confer- ence champions.

Track 99 Team work ---------prevents ----losing record Asteadily improving team, tne Jackets ran their record to 9-9 to pre- vent another losing sea- son in its three-year exis- tance. Numerous errors gave the Jackets a slow start against Woodward and Alva. They come out of the slump to stomp the Okarche Warriors 10-1, in the first game of the Hennessey Tournament. The next four games were a see-saw battle as the Jackets lost to Weath- erford, beat Watonga, lost to Pond Creek, and beat Watonga for the second time. Then for the first time in two years the Jack- ets stomped Alva in Alva, 14-2 and tied the second game of a double header 4-4. After these encourging games the Jackets went on to win four straight. Prob- ably two of the best games the Jackets played ended in losses to Woodward. Woodward capitalized on some lucky plays to down the Jackets, 4-3 and 5-4 of the exciting doublehead- er two days before district play began. The Jackets had been leading in the top of the 5th. Eager to advance fur- ther into the playoffs the Jackets again played well when they met Alva in the first round game. It wasn't good enough, though, as Alva edged the Jackets 6- 4. F acing a rebuilding year the Jr. Jackets re- turned only one full-time starter from the '79 cham- pionship team. Nine games into the season the Jackets held a bleak re- cord of 3-6. But with the experience gained made a turn around and won sev- en of their last nine games to post a 10-9 mark and win 2nd place in the Fair- view Invitational. The high point of the season was handing the Carrier Wolves their only loss by a score of 7-0. The teams batting statis- tics were up .321 com- pared to .247 of a year ago. Hard swinging Casey Reed led the individuals with .524, followed by Gregg Miller .431, and Perry Johnson .424. The Jr. Jackets will re- turn three full-time start- ers and two pitchers for the '81 team. ]r.

Coring mokes the difference Class would not be class with- out the daily grind — seven hours a day, five days a week. Or- ganizations would not be worth- while without projects, money raising activities, and meetings. However, leadership and teachers change, making academics and organizations different from year to year. That's the way it was with academics and organizations. That's why 1980 was different. Six state farmers in FFA helped make the FHS chapter a National Gold Emblem winner. The FHA chapter earned an unprecedent- ed amount of money for charity projects. English students learned the value of good literature as well as the fun found in creative writ- ing and drama. Math and science deduced the power of scientific method and logical reasoning. En- ergetic STUCO members worked behind the scenes to provide spir- it and leadership to the student body. National Honor Society sponsored informative projects to help the community become aware of school activities. Whatever the club or curricu- lum, education would not be complete without applying knowledge from the classroom to the outside world. FHS students certainly would not be as smart or well thought of, if organizations did not help students find their potentials. These are the academ- ics and organizations of FHS.

Michelle Hein takes refuge from the wind in a phone booth while performing with the band at the annual Fairview Fly-In. «I nstrumentalist on Parade' was I the band's street marching tune for the second year in a row. By the time marching season had ended, the 102 members were not only tired of this number but were also tired of being instru- mentalists on parade, on the field, on buses, and on time for 7:30 re- hearsals. Seemingly endless hours of marching the streets of Fair- view while perfecting lines, dia- gonals, and turns, resulted in first place rankings in class A at the Oklahoma State Fair Parade in Oklahoma City and at the Okla- home State University Homecom- ing Parade in Stillwater. A casual observer of the F.H.S. band might not notice any differ- ence in its performance. Some subtle changes took place howev- er, both behind the scenes, on the field, and on the street. One of the more noticeable of these changes was the addition of the flag corps. The corps consisted of six girls who performed with the regular 8th grade corps on the street and replaced them on the field. Another deviation in detail was the use of only two gun bear- ers rather than four. Juniors An- gela Countryman and Toni Jantz took on the roles of drum major- ettes for the first time. Practice as well as performance was altered during marching sea- MAKING THEIR MOVE, band members maneuver into a new formation while playing Abide With Me at the State - Field Marching Contest in Alva. son. Squad leaders took responsi- bility for teaching the individual steps and maneuvers in the field show to squads of 3, thus easing the load of Mr. Cross and Mr. Simmons. Practice time was made more efficient also, much to the delight of the directors. Trachers' aide Craig Gray's ex- tensive band experience was drawn upon to direct the flag corps and instruct marching squads. The biggest change that oc- curred in band was attitude. A positive outlook and desire to achieve common goals were char- acteristic of the 1979 marching group. New willingness to work hard to attain both personal and group objectives gained the band a first division field marching rat- ing at State Marching Contest as well as their first place street marching awards. In spite of these victories outside, by tne time No- vember blew in students were ready to stay out of the cold, damp, out-of-doors and begin their concert season.

After warm up, one could hear the one-te-ta- tah-two ... at the beginning of the concert numbers such as 'Chant and Jubilo' and 'Salvation is Created.'

Band students know that by go- ing through the rigors of all the negative aspects, they are in turn, creating a band which excells in competition with some of the top-ranked bands in Oklahoma.

In the early part of the year the chorus traveled to OSU and CSU for their annual choral festivals, where they practiced for long hours and performed that night. After the long awaited chance to miss a couple days of school we trooped back to the music build- ing to begin practice for the Mu- sic Department Christmas pro- gram. The 40 voice choir gave to the public a spectaculor program and ended it with Handel's Hal- lehlujah Chorus , which becomes a tradition for the chorus in the coming years. If we thought we deserved a long and peaceful rest after prac- ticing long and hard for the Christmas program we were in for a surprise. The next event on the agenda was district contest.

Randy Young's ping pong ball sails across the net at the STUCO's table tennis tournament in December. high school life. However, recogniz- ing those who made the memories possible is important. It was the energetic STUCO, head- ed by sponsor, Miss Lynn Vander- work and president Darryl Smith, that was responsible for many of the big events at F.H.S. Some of these were annual traditions such as Homecoming and Sadie Hawkins' Day which are carried off successful- ly each year through the efforts of tne council. Some were new ideas dreamed up by representatives. The ping-pong tournament and the in- stallation of a juice machine in the corridor are examples. Monthly as- semblies, providing a break in class- room activities, were also organized by the Student Council. A talent snow was sponsored in May. While the executing of events was an important and major task of the group, STUCO also took responsibil- ity for decisions such as changes in the dress code and rules for queen candidates. Their decisions often af- fected the flow of life in our school and contributed to a better and more efficient schedule. Little things, like the daily an- nouncements, devotions, and changing the letters on the school sign, were executed so smoothly that the rest of the student body was unaware of the activity-only the re- sults. Take away the many things they are responsible for and a school void of activity and variety remains. DECISIONS, DECISIONS.

Oklahoma History with its many facts and fiction seemed quite confusing and tiresome to the freshmen. It was rumored that Coach Skip Baird kept borrowing tests and worksheets for his class from Mrs. Bonnie Campbell, who taught the other state history classes. It's a fact that in math Barbie Medley was continuously telling Mr. Sam Foster to slow down be- cause she hadn't gotten there yet. Not only was it Barbie, but also a majority of the geometry students were never exactly wnere Mr. Foster thought they should be. While Mr. Foster's classes were trying to find out where he got that 1 + 1=1, Mr. Jim Slater's stu- dents were trying to figure out what he meant by slope, solving systems, and y-intercept and just what they were supposed to do with them after they got them. Consumer math under Mr. Bri- an Hamar gave students a chance to work problems on the chalk- board.

Through Pres. Sheila Warner's outstanding leadership the 1979 contributions were topped as an amount of $2190.18 was sent to charitable foundations. Projects included the Cystic-Fibrosis Rock-a-thon netting $1400 along with the $256.85 sent to the Okla. Lung Ass'n from the Father- Daughter Basketball Came. Plan- ning to break even, an unprec- edented Shopping Spree acci- dentally brought in $200 that was donated to the Fairview Hospital. Wrapping up the year with the sell of May Day Flowers, FHA girls delivered 1,000 love, like, and ap- preciation carnations on May 1st to send $333.33 to the Neo-Natal Center of Mercy Hospital through the March of Dimes.

Honor Societies 127 Race is on for grades and positions Whether riding the bus out or driving their own vehicles, it was always a race to see who could get into the building first, down to the vending machines at break time first, or back to the high school first, but never to class first. All the while, there was an- other race going on — a race of self-disciplined endurance — be- cause, getting to class on time, passing tests and finishing projects was the ultimate goal of the 128 area students who attended the Northwest Area Vo-Tech School. State wide studies show that the number of Vo-Tech students who use the trade they have learned to begin and further their future ca- reer varies from 40 to 60%. In our own study, we found that this percentage also applies to the 52 GET ALONG, LITTLE DOGIES. Although separating cattle isn't the most exciting thing to do, Joanna Ake still finds being a vet's assistant her favorite field job in Health. BELOW RIGHT: EMERGENCY!! In-field training programs in Health Careers saw Barbara Barkley and Dianna Herren checking equipment at the emergency room of Fairview Hospital. HOT-RODDIN' IT. Slow and steady is the process used by Billy Otwell as he puts the finishing touches on the fender of the class project — a trailer. local juniors and seniors enrolled in Vo-Tech last fall. According to four-year farm machinery instructor, Mr. Larry Meritt, approximately 75% of the students feel that a technical trade education will be beneficial to them. Meritt believes that, 'at least 50% of all FHS students will come to a point in their lives where they will need a skill to fall back on, and Vo-Tech gives them that skill.' Besides those who are continu- ing their formal education at a regular university and those who are beginning their careers now, Curtis Stewart, Galen Kelly, John Wichert, Lowell Cunningham, and Roger Fast will continue their vo- cational education at Oklahoma State Tech in Okmulgee. Too few students realize that 40% of FHS Juniors and Seniors attended three hours of Vo-Tech a day to focus on a trade that will insure them an independent fu- ture and give them tne self-satis- faction of using their hands and know-how to benefit others. 128 Vo-Tech-Academics CHECKING FACTS and figures, Kim Ball and Doris Day enter numbers into their record keeping books in the business class. SUNNY SIDE UP. What Galen Kelly learns in auto mechanics class will not only get him a good job but will also save him money as he works on his own car in the future. FIRST STEP to working on large tractors is to work on small ones. Curtis Stewart, Leland Murray and Joe McLain check out the engine of a riding mower in the farm machinery class. VO-TECH FACULTY: Mrs. Joyce Osmuss, health careers; Mr. Bob Bond, welding; Mr. Larry Meritt, farm machinery; Mr. Merlin Freed, superintendent; Mr. Ray Schoonmaker, auto mechanics; Mrs. Shirley Pool, secretary; Mrs. Winona Ens- minger, business and office. Academics-Vo-Tech 129 ENTHUSED SENIORS. Kyle Williams, Eddie Long, Micah Lynch, and Craig Edkins spend many hours in the library doing their research papers for English IV. ACTORS. Broderick Barkett and John Curtis display their talent in the speech class dinner theater play. ENGLISH IV IS NOT BORING to Seniors - Don Chamberlain, Susan Voth, Mark Burrell, Mary Steidl, Derek Wymer, and Eddie Long while they watch Angela Kleiwer and Susan Glasgow. Academics — Creativity V ou're just three crazy boys was Ms. Julie Roy's opinion of Kyle Kahn, Joe McLain and James Pratt when they stook guard at the door before fifth hour English took up each day. Speaking of 'taking up Derek Wymer took up most of the hour one day giving a book review in Mrs. STUDY HALL TIME is well spent as Mike McLain struggles with his English II grammar Assignments. THE THRILL of digging in the box of Conservation Essay information is shown on the expressions of Joe McLain and Michelle Harris while they do research in English III. WHILE PRACTICING a play in English I, Mike Marlatt portrays his lines, Kim Koehn looks on in amazement, and Tammy McKee, Kevin Foster, Chris England, Tim Tucker and Mike Pembrook follow along in their books. Creative juices flow as anthology develops Geraldine Burn's Eng. IV class. Mrs. Burns ended up cutting him off after 20 minutes with half of his book still to go. Many excuses have been used for late assignments, but Ronnie Bager came up with the best one when he told Mrs. Burns that his research pa- per had been blown away by a torna- do while he was at the stock show in Oklahoma City. Knowing that the FFA's motel had been hit by a tor- made, Mrs. Burns was ready to be- lieve him, until he confessed that he was joking. While the sophomores were com- plaining about reading Shake- speare's 'Julius Caesar, nothing could compare with the casting of Todd Eitzen as Romeo when the Freshmen read 'Romeo and Juliet.' (unless it was Michelle Freed reading the same part during her class peri- od.) Study halls are supposed to be for studying, but in some there is more writing notes than writing essays, and all those conversations are not speech students getting ready for the Dinner Theater. Short naps were not unheardof — not only in study hall but also behind the bc-'k shelves in the library. Through the complaining and the sleeping came the first anthology to be printed by FHS students. This col- lection of stories, poems, essays, photography, and art was initiated by the fine arts department with Mrs. Burns as Chairman. 131 Ice cream and deadline screams |_J ome-made ice cream, cookies, and cake were devoured at the first yearbook party which was held at the city park in August. While there, the staff was told what would be expected of them in the coming year. The sale of books began as Don Jensen and Kay Vogt battled to a tie for a pizza prize to see who could sell the most books. The Christmas party at James Prastt's house was delayed until Feb- ruary at which we honored our 1980 aueen, Julee Molidor, and her atten- dents, Brenda Thompson and Kay Vogt. Without a representative until the middle of March, the staff had not decided on a cover style or color and things didn't seem to be going well for the Jacket staff. Members didn't realize what it took to put to- gether a book. Advisor Mrs. Ward and editor Chuch Neufeld began to wonder if there really would De an '80 Jacket but by the end of March, our first deadline was reached. Another new addition to the cur- riculum was a journalism class. Be- ginning with only three members, the class grew to nine by second se- mester and took over the produc- tion of the school paper. They pro- vided a new look for 'The Sting' which was well accepted by the stu- dents. JACKET STAFF: FRONT ROW: Jenni Hepp, Kay Vogt, Sandi Booth, Tammy Medley, Julee Molidor, Michelle Harris. ROW 2: Joe Meador, Wilinda Shaffer, Don Jensen, lulie Epp, Roger Copenhaver, James Pratt, Chuck Neufeld, Kirk Priddy, Larry Belter. Chuck and Wilinda were on the 1979 staff that published a book that won an All- American from NSPA, a medalist from CSPA and a Highest Honor from OIPA, 132 Publications QUEEN ATTENDANTS THIS YEAR are Brenda Thompson, Junior; and Kay Vogt, Sophomore. Senior, Julee Molidor (Front Row) was selected queen by a vote of the student body. DIG IN! Home-made peach ice cream was the high point at the first yearbook party. James Pratt, Joe Meador, and Michelle Harris enjoy their share. A YEARBOOK SIGNING PARTY, held the first week in September at the city park was used to distribute books. Joe McLain, Terry Hamen, and Byron Dow flip through the pages to see how many times they are in the book.

Things did not change that much Fifty American hostages were taken in Iran at Thanksgiving and were still captive at the end of May with return still at a stand-off. On hostage day 174, eight Ameri- cans were killed in an aborted res- cue mission. The underdog U.S. Winter Olympic hockey team de- feated Russia and received a gold medal at Lake Placid, NY. Summer Olympic athletes were withdrawn from the Moscow games by Presi- dent Carter after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. Gasoline soared from 78 t per gallon in September to $1.25 a gallon in June due to the increas- ing threat of war, the Iranian boy- cott, and the wind-fall profits tax. Gold prices climbed to $600 an oz. The weather on Baccalaureate night was rainy because of Mt. St. Helens' volcanic blow-up. But FHS did not change that much. School still opened at 8:20 every morning. The curriculum stayed much the same as it has been for the past decade. English was required for every student. Seniors wrote research papers that conformed to Mrs. Burns' high standards. The Lions' Club had its student-of-the-week ev- ery Wednesday. Rotary was vis- ited by the student-of-the-month on Thursdays. Announcements continued to be given daily dur- ing fourth hour. It was all the same, but it was all different.

Closing 139 So you can see that FHS did not change. People remained people. Classes stuck to their traditional roles forever. You can also see that FHS is different. A new influx of coaches, teachers, and students added variety to the familiar faces. A student council that strived for new and different approaches to its service kept student life exciting. A senior class that started to break tradition provided leadership of a new brand. Whether we liked it or not, the phrase was used often, everyday at school. It fit FHS in 1980 better than a maillot swimsuit on a high fashion model. It doesn't matter if you are looking at the history of FHS during 1980, or the history of 1980 at FHS........it's the same difference. ...It’s the same difference ALSO IN THE 3-LEGGED RACE are Debby Stepp and Terri McKee waiting behind them for the next leg of the relay are Toni Jantz (10) and Debbie Nickel. _________________________ THREE RADIOS AND FIVE VOICES creates a lot of noise for the lunior High Track girls in their events.
