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

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
