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.

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

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.

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.
