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

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.
