COOL SENIORS! Tom Pearson, Lowell Cunningham, )ohn Elwell, and Matt Gard take it easy at the Magic Assembly sponsored by the STUCO. Lifestyles change with the times Lifestyles have changed from 20 years ago — even from three years ago. However the stu- dents have maintained their individuality. Some combined two, tnree, or even four lifestyles. A few students didn't fit in any catagory. However, the lives that developed came from a popular philos- ophy — 'rollin' with the flow.' It was easy to spot four different types of students at school. There were the scared, unsure freshmen, who wandered around with their eyes glued to door frames as they tried to figure out room num- bers. There were noisy sophomores, who re- newed old acquaintances everytime they saw one another. Juniors, the all- knowing bunch, thought they had finally 'arrived ana walked the halls laughing at the freshmen, giving them wrong direc- tions, and telling the sophomores to respect their elders and be auiet. The 'joe cool' crowd had to be the seniors. Showing their obvious 'maturity' they shuffled down the halls with a quiet air of su- periority. The senior girls became sentimental about their last year of high school and the boys developed their 'jock' im- age by dating the awed freshman girls. Aside from the obvious age difference in stu- dents, however, there were special interests that set each person apart as a distinctive individual. For instance, athletes attend- ed practice every day after school, making it hard for them to keep up with the action that hap- pened directly after school. Girl basketball players could not take a fourth hour class because of practice. So classes like yearbook and zoology were out for them. Many times a Vo-Tech student had to choose between band and athletics since oand was first hour and athletics last, and vo-tech was a half day. As the economy squeezed down, students were faced with the ever- increasing need for mon- ey. Jobs became a necessi- ty for some. Working after school and on Saturdays took away the time indi- viduals could be doing other activities. FFA mem- bers had little time, as many had to be up by 5:30 every morning to feed livestock. Fatstock shows all over the state demand- ed more time from the aggies. Musicians had it rough, too. Bandsmen taking pri- vate lessons had to put in extra practice time daily. If jazz band happened to be their interest, they had to attend jazz practice an hour before school every morning. Although special inter- ests separated individuals, there were interests ev- eryone had in common. Everyone lived in Fairview and everyone went to school at FHS — and that was the major interest that made lifestyles spe- cial. 20 Lifestyles
