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

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
