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. Sheila Warner is Daphne the maid. 'Finders Creepers'. Th' entertaining play was held November 3. tery in a morgue. Thanksgiving came and everyone was glad for the vacation. 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. Mr. Hamar takes a swing at the effigy during homecoming week. The enthused crowd can hardly wait.
