Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1981 volume:

MAKING THE BEST OF IT. Seniors were asked to lead the rest of the student body in a cheer at the Homecoming pep rally on Thursday night'. Getting Closer T his is an endsheet. The primary job of an endsheet is to hold the book together. It is useful also for autograph space. The front endsheet marks the beginning of the '80-81 school year. The title page and each of the division pages which follow are designed to bring you, the reader, closer to the thoughts, actions, and dreams of the 277 students in the 19 rooms at 316 North Eighth in Fairview, Oklahoma. This book contains memories of the places and people that counted most in the lives of each student and teacher. 6 (§©tEQfP®88S8®8Q Ii5Xjpfl®(oJ©8 Jt(0) n i ‘SHaBffigs fijm fUnnrmjc) «« !

Bobby Bennett was a member of the chorus quartet who sang at the Talent Show as well as in church and at the Fine Arts Festival. Day by Hay.. • From ordinary to extraordinary, 257 students took each day, brightened it, disected it, mixed it together, and through the course of seven classes, turned each into something special. Each day often lasted for fourteen or fifteen hours and on special occasions such as graduation, long into the following morning. No matter how 'zonked' students became while decorating floats or finishing geometry problems and English IV research papers, the closeness of classmates allowed friends to give that extra boost of energy which was just enough to finish the job before 'crashing out.' _______3 Opening COVER UP. Sharia Martens (Marge) makes excuses for Henry to a bill collector in the Junior play 'Deadly Earnest.' A new superintindent, an old friend, an assassination attempt on President Regan and the Pope, the ever-changing weather, and the ever-present task of homework each helped to mold portions of the life of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, and faculty during the months of August until May. The next 140 pages of photography, copy, and captions are here to spark memories, smiles, and maybe a few tears. If they help you recall the 'good times' we have achieved our goal of helping you get closer to what counts. Closer Opening TEE (OFF) TIME.

Atlanta had 26 children murdered, the MGM Grand in Las Vegas burned, and Colonel Sanders died. The hostages came home, jokes were told on field trips, Debbie Nickel and Luke Howard cried when dreams of state championships ended. Everyone griped and paid $1.30 for gas, $3 for a movie and $8 for pizza. But each event — happy or sad — brought each student closer to what counts. SOCK HOPPERS.

Along with summer came part-time jobs, trips to the lake, vacations, Pizza Hut pizzas, and the perennial dragging main at $1.15 a gallon for regular gasoline. With the topic of a summer job, questions such as What are you doing tonight? What movies are showing in Enid? and of course Who do you think shot J.R.? ap- peared in every conversation. While most students spent their time care- fully walking on the sizzling sidewalks of Fairview, others spent their vacation travel- ing in the cool climate of Europe. Caylon Campbell, Richard Marlatt, Susan and Don Jensen, Todd Merrit, Larry Belter, Michelle Hein, and Chris Stecklien along with sponsor Ms. Julie Roy spent two weeks touring Paris, Rome, Switzerland, Holland, and Belguim. While in Europe, the students enjoyed the play Death Trap in London, visited Shake- speare's Tavern, and viewed the original Mona Lisa. Chris said Shakespeare's Tavern was the high point of his tour. While some students were vacationing, others attended various camps around the state and in Colorado, Missouri, and New Mexico. Shelly Molidor and Michelle Freed attended LDI camp at Lake Texoma but Shel- ly was only there a few hours. After settling in, Shelly stepped out the door of her cabin and onto a copperhead snake. Spending the next two weeks in St. Mary's hospital was an experience she won't soon forget. Dottie Pearson also attended St. Mary's hospital for a knee operation and had to cancel her plans to tour Europe in order to spend half of her summer in a wheel chair and on crutches. Summer's end was marked with the clos- ing of the pool and the beginning of the grueling football two-a-days. The event that seemed to make everyone realize summer was over was enrollment on August 21st. Students discussed their favorite soap opera, the price of gas, new steadies, and the classes assigned for the year ahead. June-July-August _ LAST MINUTE TOUCH-UPS were made in the Cham- berlain bathroom as Jim Fast shaves before taking senior pictures. A QUARTER A THROW!

Strawn Steele builds up the spirit of the team during his pep talk at the Homecoming pep rally. To the tune of Brian's Song, Toni Jantz, Kim Koehn, and Mel Cross took away the breath of the crowd of an estimated 3,000 which gathered at the football field for the Homecoming game. Riding slowly down the sidelines, they waited for their escorts Jim Fast (kissing cap- tain), Richard Marlatt and Clayton Dow to open the ceremonies by escorting them to the field. Amy Schroeder and Jamie Fuzzel followed with the crown, the roses, and looks of awe. The decision of the football boys must have been a difficult one, but their final choice was applauded when Toni came away with the crown and a big smile. Aside from the traditional happenings on the field, eyes were drawn to cheerleader Tonya Gustafson and her mum from Kevin Helton. Ribbons hanging to her knees, it was covered with numerous decorations — yel- lowjackets, footballs, and Kevin's name. With a total of 365 mums sold, the Juniors made a profit of $869.75 to use for food and decorations at the Jr.-Sr. banquet. CLEAN UP.

Homecoming ot weather and high humidity seeped through the open doors and windows of the school and one by one posters, balloons, and streamers dropped to the floor of the hall. Thursday morning found many hurrying franti- cally to repair work before the judges came to review the Homecoming decorations. The preceding four days had been no less frantic than the final hours of the competition, yet each class had a few faithful workers who had labored night and day and now waited ner- vously for the results of the judging. In fact, this time each year seems to find the faithful tyring TO THE BEAT of drummer Sandy Stepp, Dedra Meador and the crowd cheer for their team at the Homecoming pep rally. The rally took the place of the bonfire since fire codes banned all burning because of the summer long drouth. to push their class to the top of the Homecom- ing heap. Like a glorified game of King of the Moun- tain the Homecoming contests put class against class in competition for the best hall decorations, best float, and best attendance at the Thursday night pep rally. In recent years the competition between classes has been building. This year was no exception with the contests as hot as the mid-September weather. However, more students seem to be tiring of the decisiveness of these competitions, Kay Vogt, pep club vice-president, stated that, Fighting between the classes during Home- coming affects, or breaks up, the school spirit throughout the rest of the year, and a growing number of students seem to agree with her. When the Thursday morning tension was fi- nally over Friday night, Seniors had come out on top. With the Sophomores, Juniors, and Freshmen taking the other three places, the school began to return to normal. Any decora- tions that had not fallen down because of the heat, were taken down, floats were torn apart, and once again, the walls separating class from class also began to crumble. 13 Homecoming Community SURPRISE! Mr. Kelley Alig and Dr. Dwayne Colvin are amazed at all the goodies in the Chamber of Commerce gift bags at the community picnic for teachers. CIVIC DUTY. Waiting their turn to get drained, Randy Patzkowski, Kirk Priddy, Don Jensen, Brenda Thompson and Gregg Young hit the books while waiting to give blood. m It 14 Community a ttin A Ithough Fairview is a small town, activities are on a large scale. For instance on Thurs- day, November 20, the town team basketball was practicing at the auditorium, the basketball girls had a pre-season party at Coach Leon Wright's home and the wrestling club had 61 little boys (and their dads) practicing in the grade scnool gym. The Karate class was kicking away in their new main street location, while the teachers had a dinner meeting at Chamber- lain. TAKING A SPIN. Mr. Robert Freed and Mrs. Barbara Freed enjoyed spending their time among the many different rides at the county fair. They found the tilt-a-whirl the best way to waste their evening. The town buzzed with talk of the year's top, local news story — the arrest of the Six Million Dollar Man, for illegal hunting. Local game ranger Gene Ward filed on Lee Majors for the killing of a deer out of season during the Grand National Quail Hunt. While everyone eagerly awaited the hearing, it was moved to Woods County, robbing tne town of all its national publicity — even though it had 'already re- ceived the cream of publicity' according to Mac Davis. Mr. Davis, local farmer and feature writer for the Fairview Republican wrote that 'The poor deer that got shot one day early was almost as famous as Rudolph .. . and certainly it's the most famous deer that ever got shot ALMOST in Major County. On Friday and Saturday nights most high school students can be found dragging main or in the Pizza Hut, while others are at tne Bowl- ing Alley feeding quarters into the video games and pinball machines. On the drag down main new businesses such as Red Eagle Oil Company, Nifty Needle Fab- rics, Artistic Printing, Watonga Savings and Loan, and Suits Rig Corp have opened. On the other hand. Smith Drug and the Royal Theater have been here since the early 1900's. Even though Fairview is a small town there is never a moment when something isn't happen- ing in the busy streets and shops around town. Though it's small it's very active. TEETER TOTTER. Bread and water. Randy Penner helps Mrs. Lillian Nickel equalize the weight difference be- tween herself and Mr. Alden Glasgow during the Cham- ber of Commerce faculty picnic. WATCHFUL EYES.

A sock hop was the main event after the football game that night. Pigging out on ice cream, cake, chips and dip, and everything else in a junk food junk- ies' dream, the yearbook staff had their first party at Larry Belter's house. The FHA girls were the ones to avoid dur- ing this month as they pushed magazine sub- scriptions on anyone with money. The sight of rickety carnival rides symbol- ized the beginning of the Major Co. Fair. The Fair Queen contest gave many beautiful girls the opportunity to show their variety of talents. When Susan Jensen took the title of Queen, Becky Mabry won first runner up, and Suanne Wymer second, no one com- plained. Homecoming week was at its hectic best. It was a week that split some friendship, strengthened others, and generally aged some sponsors a couple of years in the pro- cess. The band should have played Singing in the Rain when they placed first at the Tulsa State Fair Marching Contest because that's exactly what it did — all day. The first round of report cards were sent out on October 29. Teachers thought this was a bad time because it was so close to Halloween. The hostages were nearing the end of their first year of captivity. Tole House cook- ies celebrated their 50th anniversary. Picture day brought smiling faces and ten changes of clothes to school. When the cam- era broke, the schedule was delayed for an hour and a half. This gave people time to change clothes for the next picture, but brought havoc during the afternoon sched- ule. A line of rocking chairs on Broadway and Main filled with FHA girls on Oct. 4 meant it was time for the Lung Association Rock- aThon. NEW QUEEN. Susan Jensen, with wide smile and sparkling eyes, accepts the applause of the other contestants after being crowned Major County Fair Queen. ROCKIN' AND DREAMIN'.

September - October WHERE TO GO FOR LUNCH dressed up for '50s Day? Vicki Simmons, Pam Kai, Anita Katzung and Rita Shields settled their problem by going to Marten's Drug. ___________17 Student Life WW hen things go bump on Halloween night '-A- it is usually an egg making contact with an unsuspecting victim. Such was the case with sophomores being cleverly tricked into an am- bush by the cunning seniors. 'The air turned white as we rounded the corner pursuing our seemly helpless victims, Randy Patzkowski and Roger Copenhaver. There was no way to avoid getting hit said sophomore Timmy Tucker. The school doors caught eggs the night be- fore Halloween and even the night after. 'I real- ly hate Halloween!' Joe Meador complained after his car had been egged on the inside mak- ing it smell for weeks. 'There was no way to clean it all up. There were even eggs in the heating vents explained Joe. But combat with eggs wasn't the only thing going on. Everyone went to the Cherokee football game won-by the Jackets 9 to 0- dressed for the parties to follow. The Baptist church had planned an all-night party begin- ning with Halloween 'caroling' and games at GOING TO GETCHA!

While younger members of the Methodist Youth were downstairs in the church basement spending their 'Methodist Bucks' on cake walks and sponge throws, upstairs, the high school group were in a whole new world. First it was the gory, slimy makeup that had to be caked on from hair line to neck. Then of course the two-inch fake fingernails that added the final touch to Casey Reed's Dracula cos- tume. But the most believable costume had to be Richard 'Wolfman' Marlatt, who was covered with human hair and a mouthful of fangs. A hayride to a haunted house (Jerome Wi- chert's barn) was sponsored by the Mennonite Brethren Youth Croup. According to Richard Schmidt, 'It was so dark when we walked in that I ran into people. At one place a ghost jumped out and scared me to death!' Halloween BOMBS AWAY! Bobby Kai gets ready to throw an egg at the unprotected camera. Dozens of eggs and cans of shaving cream were purchased during the day and al- most as many were confiscated by the police during the night. DRACULA STRIKES AGAIN! At the Bowling Alley H.W.

Her appearance sent many childen running home early. 19 H a 11 owee n hile presidental campaign posters and catchy slogans were present in the main businesses, campaigning was also going on within the walls of the school. Ronald Reagan carried fifty-one percent of the votes of the nation, and sixty-seven percent of the votes in Fairview High School. Now with the hostage crisis past the year mark, rumors of a possible release again filtered through newspapers and T.V. in all parts of the country. Because of a previous actors strike we finally found out, on the eighth of November, who fired the shots that were heard around the world. J. R. Ewing was not murdered in the television series DALLAS. Kristen, J. R.'s mis- tress, was found guilty after she tried to pin it on her sister Sue Ellen. The senior play 'Our Town' set a new pace this year. It wasn't the usual on-stage perfor- mance but an all-over-the-gym production. 'Even though we had many difficulties, we pulled it through,' stated Senior James Pratt who played George Gibbs in the play. The music died on December 8. Former Bea- tles member John Lennon was shot four times in his New York apartment lobby. His new al- bum Doubled Fantasy recorded with his wife Yoko Ono had just been released. Wilinda Shaffer was crowned yearbook queen on December 11 by Roger Copenhaver at the yearbook Christmas party. The kiss lasted a record breaking 45 seconds. The All-School Christmas party ended the 1980 school year for many, but not for all. Some students and teachers had to drag themselves bac on Monday and Tuesday morning for se- mester tests. After the grueling tests on Tues- day morning all students were released until January 6. November-December DEATH SCENE.

She spent two weeks in the Dominican Re- public, visiting her brother, Ron. 'It was so hot, we couldn't sleep. It was hard to go into a completely different climate!' Santa (Mr. Jerry Cross) brought candy canes for everyone but not gifts for all the people at the Student Council Christmas as- sembly. Student Council showed the film, Texas across the River. Later that night, they went caroling to all the teacher's houses, and gave them each a fruit basket. 'The Dukes of Hazard' was the main attrac- tion at the party for the Student Council members at Ms. Lynn Vanderwork's house after caroling. Chris Stecklein said, 'There was so much food it was unbelievable. The table was piled high!' On December 31, Members of Explorer Post 125, Casey Reed, Paul Burrell, Steven Janzen, Richard Marlatt, and Chris Stecklein, went skiing at Red River and Taos. 'The snow wasn't the greatest but we made the best of it,' said Steven Janzen when they got back on Jan- uary 4. Christmas vacation was spent many different ways by everyone in the school. Everyone agreed on one thing though — in a flash it was here and gone with no time in between. CHEESE WHIZ!

The hostages were safe! The Star Spangled Banner was sung louder than usual, and a sigh of relief rippled through the gym. While the story of tne hostages and the inau- guration of Ronald Reagan filled the national news, the announcements at school revealed a first place trophy to the basketball boys for outstanding play in the Laverne all-boys tour- nament. Placing third at Sayre, the girls fell to the tough Carnegie team by 3 points but came back to win over Clinton by 12. The JV team finished out its season with a perfect records. Plans for the FHA Sweetheart Banquet start- ed early in January when Hot Rod Hearts was chosen as the theme. Pictures of each couple were taken beside a red corvette while the fair building sported a large supply of red and white streamers. In the midst of basketball season, seniors took a time-out to measure for caps and gowns and realized there was no way around the dreaded research papers — a trademark of Mrs. Geraldine Burns. Subjects ranged from heat physics to tornadoes and from U.F.O.'s to superstitions. The District tournament was held at Sell- ing with the girls winning the championship for the first time since 1978. The boys re- peated their district title. Regionals brought in tougher teams but despite the early loss on Thursday night to the Hooker boys, a consolation trophy was placed in the boys already-crowdecf trophy case. The Jacket women joined the losers bracket after being trounced 41-54 by Okeene in the finals. The Area tournament was held for the second year at Weatherford.

But that wasn't enought for the competative band. Members had worked all year to earn money to attend the Six Flags Concert Band Contest in Dallas, Texas where they received third in class. Then they enjoyed three days of scheduled activities in Dallas. A wide smile was shown by Denise Baird when she won the title Miss Fairview. First Runner Up was Becky Mabry and the best talent award was received by Sharia Martens. The contest featured evening gown modeling, talent presentation, and an interview with the judges. An attempted assasination shook the United States. John W. Hinkley Jr. from Evergreen, Colorado attempted to take the life of President Ronald Reagan as he was leaving the Washington Hilton Hotel after giving a speech to the FCLO Labor Union. Underclassmen suffered through achievement tests with little zest. The first Fine Arts Festival was a success. Displays from the English, Art and Speech departments, numbers by chorus and band, and clowns with balloons made the evening most rewarding to the community. Joe Meador completed an oil painting while people observed his talent. LISTENING INTENTLY.

It was a sense of release from the worry and care. Fifteen minutes of just plain fun. In high school that sense of release was magnified in those periods of time measured in days or weeks when the hands of the clock whirled around so fast it had to be wrong. Christmas vacation and spring break were the 'biggies but just as appreciated were the senior trip, Sadie Hawkins, the band trip to Six Flags, teacher's meetings. Labor Day, half days for parent-teacher conferences and even getting out at 2:00 for the homecoming parade. While the Explorers skied during Christmas, Kim Koehn, Shelly Molidor, Mrs. Judy Dobbs, Jim Fast, Tina McDaugale, Ron Webber, Randy Patzkowski and Pam Cravens found the snow better during spring break. Even though most of the short holidays are spent working (mothers tend to keep a list of chores for just these emergencies), the longer ones held added attractions like ski trips to Colorado, and New Mexico and trips to Six Flags over Texas. Kay Vogt spent Christmas in the Domicnican Republic visiting her missionary brother. On her way home, She stopped in Florida to see O.U. play in the Orange Bowl. 'My trip to San Fransisco was fun even though it rained the whole time we were there,' commented Mrs. Jimmie Lou Ward. 'She's got a great 'personality' and she is a lot better looking in real life, said Joe Meador after taking 78 pictures of Suzanne Summers from his second row seat at World of Fun in Missouri on Labor Day. Becky Mabry went to Japan to see her relatives that she had never seen before. Among the many unfamiliar customs, Becky thought the worst thing was the muskoto mushi (squat toilets.) But she loved Japan and the people and hopes to return there someday. Days Out HEAVE HO!

Members of the boys and girls track team went to the state track meet only to hurry back for the Jr. Sr. Banquet that very same evening. At the banquet they found themselves walking into a world of steamboats, hoop skirts, and plantations. Banquet guests were served by black faced sophomores fitting into the banquet's southern theme. Recovering from their southern meal, the All-Sports Banquet occurred. Jim Fast received the Joe Jordan Award and Richard Marlatt, the George Eubanks Football Award, after listening to the keynote speaker, OSU football coach, Jimmy Johnson. On Saturday, May 9, the band marched in the Tri-State parade, then had their Awards Banquet that evening. Angela Countryman was crowned queen by Jim Fast. At the FFA Banquet, Melonie Cross was crowned FFA Sweetheart. The Kevin Nickle Award went to FFA president Dawson Bowers and the Glen Rusch Award went to Jim Fast. Class Night had a quiet start because the P.A. didn't work. With Mr. Denton's help, Kirk Priddy and Randy Patzkowski fixed it and the Hee Haw show continued. As the seniors spent a leisurely day at Roman Nose State Park, Pope John Paul II was shot twice during an assassination attempt. Graduation ceremonies were held on May 15, in the high school gym after the rain spoiled the plans of having it outside. School was dismissed for everyone who didn't have to take semesters, except the yearbook staff who slaved on trying to meet the final deadline. MAY FIDDLIN' FOOL. Toni Jantz laughs at her own jokes before entertaining the audience with her fiddle on the Hee Haw Class Night production. CROWNING OF THE QUEEN.

I What C C loser to !ountK in n (hifiiiii xilMMi The space shuttle made its first voyage into orbit and REO Speedwagon hit the top as one of the hottest rock groups around. James Pratt and Kay Vogt worked on the yearbook till June 14 while the rest of the staff either went to camps, jobs or just didn't show. Mel Cross marched in the All-Star Band at the All-State football game in Tulsa. The cheerleaders gave a clinic for the young hopefuls to help pay their own camp bill. FCA was revived but dwindled when no girls were allowed. Three wrecks in five days coming back from the band room to school earned 19 students parking tickets parked on the wrong side of the street. Each happening brought each student closer to what counts. TIPTOE THOUGH THE MUD.

Jeff Wilson and Terri McKee show off their newly won crowns during a pep rally before the Laverne basketball game. EATING THE LEFT-OVERS. Jerome Wichert, Justin Kleiwer, and Dawson Bowers took care of the extra pancakes at the FFA sponsored teacher's breakfast. 35 Organizations Division Egg on the Face Right in the face! Of the many ways to catch a raw egg, one is not to try to retrieve it in the airspace in front of the face. The freshmen had advanced to a 60 ft. toss before the worst happened. Lori Schwind threw the egg high and Judy Unruh made a gallant try at catching it. But, alas, the egg conquered all, and the freshmen came in second to the seniors on Sadie Hawkins Day. The seniors couldn't catch the sophomores in the eating contest as Chris England downed 15 raw wieners in three minutes to 'honor' the sophomore class with a first place. The sophomores captured three first place ratings but were outpointed 50-52 by the seniors in the overall standings. Whether in-class announcements or Sadie Hawkins's Day events being discussed, the fact that these were planned by the Student Council did not seem too important. STUCO was responsible for organizing homecoming activities, the talent show, the watermelon feed at the beginning of the year, and fruit baskets for GREETINGS. Student Council adviser Lynn Vanderwork gives Mr. Alfred Nelson a fruit basket at Christmas. The town teachers re- ceived theirs when STUCO members went house to house caroling and giving out the baskets. the teachers during Christmas vacation. President Randy Patzkowski worked closely with Mr. Denton to insure organized breaks in the daily classroom routine. The sock hop after the homecoming game found Lori Bartel and Jaquita Helton bopping to the music 'Rock Around the Clock.' Also during football season, STUCO members kept gate at the Jr. High games held at Eubanks Field and then did the same for basketball season. REST TIME.

Editor Wilinda Shaffer nears the end of writing in football scores in her stack of the new yearbooks. 38___________ Publications Rainstorms Interrupt Brainstorms It was hard to decide what was the most exciting event of the year. It had to be either the fall conference at Oklahoma University, where the book picked up the All-Oklahoman award or the spring conference when a tornado warning siren went off. Another exciting event was when the staff met its first deadline for the first time in several years. A pizza party was the award given to the 21 staff members. Yearbook sales topped the 350 mark for the first time since 1975 and a total of 400 books were ordered. After changing the cover color and design in the middle of April, a de- sign was decided upon which suited everyone's taste. lournalism was held in the class next door, and these eight people worked to put out the best year of school publications despite gram- matical and typographical errors. Editor Kirk Priddy said, 'We estab- lished a new format and developed a new system for production.' The changes that took place in Room 13 were all for the better de- spite the late deadlines and the small arguments that developed between Wilinda Shaffer, editor, and Mrs. Ward concerning 'why not?' After all the 'whys' were thought over, compromises were made and the book went to the printer. YEARBOOK STAFF.

They also performed at the Spring Fine Arts Festival. Michelle Hein and Shelly McAtee were seen clowning around. When the band packed its horns for the trip to Norman to the State Competition they also packed for two extra days to be spent in Dallas at the Six Flags Competition. Jinx Gray, Craig Gray's mother, prepared dinner for the band upon their arrival in Dallas, Thursday, April 9. Hotdogs that had been prepared were stored in the oven and in the dish washer, pop was iced in the washing machine. A band trip just would not seem like a band trip without something going wrong, and this trip was not an exception. Friday morning's breakfast was served at the time of departure to the contest, and no one was around to eat it. Mr. C.W. Simmons had been told that breakfast would be held for the band until they returned from competition. When the band returned to the hotel, they found the breakfast in the trash and no compensations being made. After contacting the owner of the Amfac Hotel, lunch was served as a substitute. The band arrived home at 5 a.m. as the long trip was made longer when one of the Oklahoma Transit buses broke down before crossing the border.

The daily warm-up is going to make the band known to bands everywhere, when Mr. C. W. Simmons writes his book on the breath-impulse meth- od. He began practicing this method on the band three years ago. This fundamental system has helped to achieve new accomplishments which in former years would not have been possible. Being in Class A, with a top rank- ing flag corp and two drum majors the band made straight I's at the Dis- trict Field Marching Contest in Alva. This was necessary in order to bring home the second Class A Oklahoma Sweepstakes. Participating in the Tulsa State Fair Parade, the band placed second in its class. The stage band members tried to make the 7:30 rehearsals but a trap set and a trumpet aren't the most enjoyable sounds heard at that hour. There were exciting moments, like when Kirk Priddy's three'piece suit was stolen while at the state contest, and when the stage band performed in front of 500 people at Burrell's Frontier Days supper. THese were the times when the heat was really on for a good performance. SHE'S COT SPIRIT! Suanne Wymer joins the rest of the pep band as they cheered at the pep assembly. WITH STYLE. Randy Patzkowski fills the room with the sounds of Two for the Road as the stage band accompanies him at the pops concert.

Not quite but you couldn't tell from hearing them play in the Fairview Homecoming Parade. 43 Band Eat Your Heart Out Mormon Tabernacle Choir Seats were scarce as the chorus went to the Edmond Choral Fes- tival in November. Seating arrange- ments were crowded as Daryl Weems and Rodney Wichert had to share a seat to their discomfort. After long hours of grueling prac- tice the chorus finally made an ap- pearance at the hospital staff's Christmas party. Becky Ford and Kathy Ransford came in leg splints looking more like patients from the hospital instead of performers for it. After still more practice and hard work the chorus packed up the bus and left to the long awaited North- west District Choral Contest on March 4. Hopes for going to state were smashed as the chorus scored lower than intended. The year slowly came to an end as the chorus gave their final public concert at the Fine Arts Festival on April 7 in the city auditorium. The performance included four group numbers and three solos by Denise Baird, Dena Smith, and Kerry Priddy. A duet was also sung by Dena Smith and Sharia Martens. Standing out in the group was Terri Snyder who was dressed in a clown suit as part of the atmosphere for the arts festival. Kevin Hougland was the star of 'I See the Light' with his antics. This performance was also shown to Chamberlain school, grade school, and Progressive school. PRACTICE PAYS OFF. Dottie Just, Terri Snyder, and Kerry Koehn get ready to sing at the Christmas program.

'What kind are they and who's selling them?' 'Crunch bars and the pep club.' The pep club sold 500 candy bars to buy paint and signs to support the teams. Twenty-six members started the school year with Mrs. Kathie Dyche as the groups' spon- sor. But the membership slowly went down as everyone got in- volved with other activities. The pep club was few in num- ber but FHS had many fans. Mr. Richard Beck had his off-season basketball boys for a group, Beck's Bums. It was a group full of spirit at the pep rallies and gave the cheerleaders support during the cheers. Mr. Jon Dotson, ass't. football coach, tried to support the basketball coach, tried to sup- port the basketball teams by get- ting the off-season football boys and weight-lifters in a group, Dot- son's Dumbbells. While not as spirited as Beck's Bums, they did snow enthusiasm during pep ral- lies. While the whole student body sat together and yelled with the cheerleaders during the impor- tant (or close) games, the pep club was always there, supporting the teams and cheerleaders in victory or defeat.

Cystic Fibrosis gained $108.63 from 13 girls riding 10 miles on their bicycles. Mr. Ken Katzung followed in his van with an air tank and a first aid kit in case of an emergency. The police escorted them to their destination and back. Refreshments were served at the 5 mile marker. Magazines were sold again as they have been for 10 years. The money went to the FHA treasury. Pink, red, peppermint, tangerine, and white flowers were sold for May Day for the Heart Fund. The play, 'A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court' was the spotlight of the dinner theatre. The FHA girls worked hard making and serving the chicken kiev for the 153 people. The FHA had their regular monthly meetings, with speaker's topics ranging from rape to commodities.

Compared to most other groups, this one is always operated in the most orderly and formal manner. As president James Pratt learned, Mrs. Geraldine Burns expected each chapter meeting to follow Robert's Rules of Order strictly and thus the business of the organization always seemed to be conducted swiftly and efficiently. In their characteristically formal way, the Honor Society held an installation of officers and members in October. The formal ceremony, held in the First Baptist Church, consisted of speeches, a film, and a candlighting ceremony by the 31 initiates of the society. A reception followed in the church fellowship hall. Another first for the Society was the selection of Students of the Month. A committee assisted in the selection of a boy and a girl to be honored each month for their scholarship, attitude, and leadership. Helping in the selection of cheerleaders was also done. While old duties of decorating the halls for Christmas and working at the Open House were carried out by Society members, a new project was begun during the Christmas season. The chapter gathered canned goods to be distributed to the needy. 52____________________ National Honor Society IDLE TIME. Andy Shewey and Kirk Priddy wait at their assigned post at open house.

Eleven students were honored as published writers. These people had poetry and or prose published. Seven students placed at the county level of the Soil and Water Conservation Essay contest. Every Thursday for one month one boy from the Senior class took part in the weekly Rotary Club meetings at Feedlot II. They are treated as members throughout the month and give a report on school activities. It was fun to be a Student Rotarian, Everyone was very friendly and made me feel welcome, said Kirk Priddy. Champ Paul was made an honorary football letterman at the All Sports Banquet with a letter jacket. Earlier in the year during football season, Mr. Paul had received a Fairview cap. Mush McCue was honored as being an honorary basketball letterman. He commented, I don't know why, but thank you. The Joe Jordan All-Around Athlete Award was given to Senior Jimmy Fast, and the George Ewbanks Football Award was received by Senior Richard Marlatt. During the class night activities Seniors received scholarships. The highest were received by James Pratt, a $6,000 scholarship to Tulane University and Kirk Priddy, a $4,000 scholarship to Bethany College. David Eck, Brenda Thompson, and Barbie Medley won the Warren Family scholarship. They will receive $1,000 for every year of college for four years.

There are some students who prefer the thrill of doing it on their own. Golf team members worked out at the Fairview Lakeside Country Club. Becky Ford practiced before and after school to achieve her goals-to go to the gymnastic state meet in Tonkawa. She had won most improved at ECOSU summer camp.

Mike Marlatt (85) is in anguish as the jackets go down to defeat 0-51 to Okeene. Two Wins Save Shutout We might not have had a great sea- son but it was fun,' was heard from senior Byron Dow at the Cherokee pep rally. That pretty well wrapped up the team's feelings as the Jacket's re- cord of 2-8 did not appear impressive at the end of the season. The outcome of the season opener at Thomas was decided in the first quarter as the Terriers scored 22 unanswered points enroute to a 44-6 victory over Fairview. Coach Skip Baird was forced to face the fact that he had only six seniors, two who were out for the first time, and that the year would be spent get- ting as much improve- ment as possible for his juniors and sophomores. Improved was not enough as the Seiling Wildcats won 14-0 at Seil- ing. Fairview had several opportunities to score but were victimized by their own mistakes. A costly penalty aided the Medford Carainals to drive the length of the field in the last two min- utes of the fourth quarter to defeat an inspired Jack- et team 12-10. The Jackets played aggressive, hard- hitting football all four quarters. Okeene Whippets took a commanding 35-0 lead into the halftime and ex- tended it to 51-0 by the end of the third quarter. STRONG LINE. Justin Kliewer (62), Bill Boulware (53), Richard Marlatt (65), and Rex Wichert (72) keep Thomas' defensive line, Tommy Dunlap (75), Lawrence Elmore (70), and Jerry Fraser (71), away from QB Perry Johnson (8). Despite Perry's pass completion, Fairview fell to Thomas 6-44. Coach Skip Baird substi- tuted the second string early in the second half, allowing them to get ex- erience under their elts, although Okeene's Coach Hendrickson used his first team until the final minutes. The Yellowiackets went to Moorelana looking for a victory but instead, lost their second game in the last few seconds of the contest. Mooreland broke up what appeared to be an overtime game by scoring on a 36 yard pass play with 27 seconds left in tne game for a 7-0 win. Despite the contin- ous rain the Jackets held the Bearcats scoreless through most of the game. The Yellowjackets opened district play against last year's champi- on, Laverne. The Jackets played well for four quar- ters only to see victory once again slip away in the closing minutes of the game. | 60___________ I H. S. Football HELMET REPAIRS.

The Eagles slipped by scoring three straight times be- fore the Jackets could score again making the fi- nal total 9-19. Watonga dominated the final district game. The Jackets were held to only 74 total yards as the Eagles rolled up 38 points for a 38-0 victory. The cold weather didn't stop the Yellowjackets from scoring 17 quick points enroute to a 24-6 victory over the Garber Wolverines. The Jackets' offensive and defensive units dominated play al- lowing only 15 yards while making 184 for them- selves. Parents and friends were flagged down to bring home players when the new activity bus broke down. Cherokee controlled the ball 57 plays but the Jackets won 9-0.

Instant Replay e won each one, ff one by one, till-ju we won them all Coach Caldwell commented after a repeat as Confer- ence Champs. While the defense held their opponents to an average of three points per game, the offense ran over everyone scoring twenty -eight points a game. No one suspected that when Mooreland was shutout, in the first game, that it would be the first of four shut-outs. The Laverne Tigers were the first team to score against the rugged defense but the offense had rolled up 46 points and the 8th grade had been in for over a quarter when Laverne hit the scoreboard with 8 points. After the Seiling shu- tout the conference title was at stake. Okee scored first to put the Jackets behind for the first time all year but the threat was short-lived as the Jackets picked up 26 points to win their con- ference. The Jr. Jackets struck again to the last game of the season against the Hennessey Eagles which ended with a score of 29- 8.

Odds are, after graduating three starters and nine lettermen, expectations for a winning season are usually very bleak. Odds are when starting three guys with little or no experience, things don't go smoothly. But they did. Odds are that when a team goes into the loser's bracket at the regional tournament, they won't make it all the way to State. But the Jackets did. Throughout the season the Jackets were constantly the underdog. But game after game, they beat the odds. The regular season ended with a 15-7 record with five of the seven losses coming from large 4 and 5A schools. When the Jackets entered district play at Seiling 6'3 Jim Fast had the task of guarding 6'8 Ron Snider, and held him to 3 points, in a 39-27 win. The Jackets didn't fold up after being defeated by Hooker 46-38. Instead they went ahead to beat Newkirk and Okeene for the Regional's runner-up spot and the right to go to the area tourney.

Finishin' with a Flair Opening its season the Junior Varsity defeated the Hennessey Eagles by a score of 56-28. After six straight wins, their perfect season was almost ruined when they played the Watonga Eagles in the last game. The Eagles were up by more than 10 points late in the third quarter. Larry Brickman and Jeff Wilson played such good defense, they shut down Watonga in the 4th quarter. When the defense peaked, the offense fired up and burned the Eagles 32-30 to wind up the season 7-0. The Jr. High roundballers blazed to a successful 13-4 season. The team began the season on a sour note as they dropped their first game to Woodward by nine. The Jackets quickly returned to their winning ways as they won their next two games in the Woodward Tournament, defeating Laverne and Alva. Fairview faced Woodward in the finals, and in a heated battle, lost to the Boomers by one point, 32-33. The team blazed back from this second loss to the Boomers by winning their next six ball games to take an 8-2 record into the Fairview Tournament. The Jackets defeated Hennessey and Kingfisher to reach the finals opposite Woodward. It seems history repeats itself and on a rimmed-out shot at the buzzer, the Jackets again lost to the Boomers by a single point 41- 42. The Jackets were to lose to Woodward one more time to record their fourth loss, but rebounded back to win their last five games in a row. This group of 9th graders compiled a 54-9 record in four years of competition. ELBOWING HIS WAY THROUGH.

The game was lost, however, 53-62. Pioneer's Hex Spoils Dream With the sound of the whistle, and a start of the clock, the lady Jackets began their season. Who would have believed that the season would begin and end with a loss to Pioneer? Yet, decked out in brand new uniforms and five returning starters, excitement dominated the court when the Jackets played. The first win of the season happened when they had an all-out battle with Hennessey, 57-54. That win was followed by the NWOSU tournament and they were first defeated by Guymon, but bounced back to win third place beating Weatherford and Newkirk. Then came the long, hard fight to reach the State play- offs. Everything was great as they beat Laverne and Seiling to win the District Championship. Yet, Regionals was a different story. Things still were looking good until a loss to Okeene in the finals, cropping them to the Area losers biacket. Hope was not lost, however, when Sayre fell to the Jackets first game of area. That's when the story soured. The plan for Pioneer's defense was to drop two guards on high scoring Terri McKee. Since Fairview's plan was to open Terri up, the entire first half was spent with Dottie Pearson holding the ball high in the air and blowing bubbles while waiting for Pioneer's defense to pick up the forward's play. The half ended with a 4-2 score. The second half had action plus. After three overtimes. which brought fans from both teams to their feet, the Jackets lost their last chance of the season, 26-29, and with the sound of the buzzer, and the finish of the clock, the Lady Jacket's season was over.

They started their year squeaking by the always powerful Woodward 48-45. But in their second game they walloped Laverne with a resounding 51-18 score. There were several turn- abouts from game to game for the Jr. High Jackets, exchanging wins and losses with Woodward, Alva, Carrier and Hennessey by only a few points. Sandy Stepp had a 17 point game average, making her the year's high scorer. Second highest was Cindy Ramey with a 11.8 average. The team worked well together as the guards allowed their opponents only 32.8 points a game compared to the Jacket's 36.8.

All games were close competition, but the one most remembered is when they met the Alva Goldbugs. At half time, the Jackets were ahead and seemed to have the game easily won. Yet, in the second half, the Bugs were ready to play. Even though the Jackets put up a hard defensive battle, Alva won 32-35. Dena Smith said Even though we were small, we put up a good fight!' JR.

After a week of drying out from the Northwestern meet, Coach Skip Baird packed up his team and headed to Ponca City. The 68 points scored by the running Jackets put them in second place. With band members absent the Jackets began back-to-back meets at the Alva Invitational. The team gained 35 pts. for 4th place and returned to action the next day to pick up 67 pts. and a 2nd place finish behind Cherokee (again) at Laverne.

She was considered one of the three fastest women in the state when she started the qualifying heat at the State Track meet.

The other girl was disqualified but that didn't help Sally. Her race was lost. With only five upperclassmen taking track, four freshmen were enlisted to help out at all track meets. Three of the freshman, Janie Edwards, Dedra Meador and Sandy Stepp, qualified for State. Several other freshmen participated with both teams. As a result, the Jr. High entered a limited number (3) of meets. But they earned enough points to place high in each meet and take 2nd place at Conference. GOOD FORM.

Battled Futilely (from game to game) Two seniors, five juniors, and six sophomores started the baseball season, but in the ninth game the senior number was decreased by one. Clayton Dow was stealing 3rd when the Jet-Nash catcher threw a fast ball, shattering Clayton's jaw, putting him out for the rest of the season. Brent Boulware's first strikeout of the year came in the 4th game when Chris Stecklein batted out of turn. Perry Johnson came up after Steck had batted in the wrong spot. Perry had 0 balls and 2 strike count when the Helena coach figured out something was wrong. Brent then had to take Perry's place at the plate and struck out on the next pitch. It was several day later that Brent finally spoke to Steck. The Junior High baseball team recorded its third best season in eight years as it tallied a 9-12 mark. High points of the 21 game season were the wins over Weatherford in eight innings, and placing third in the Fairview Invitational tournament. If losses can be counted as high points, the Jackets showed their pride in two losses to Woodward — in seven innings in recording one of the most exciting games of the season; and in a heart- breaker 3-4 to the Boomers in the semi-finals of the Fairview Tournament.

Making the best of Language Arts was a reality for the new competitive speech class taught by Ms. Julie Roy. The students in this class went to six contests dur- ing the year and some, like Suanne Wymer and Mike Colvin came home with trophies. The awards did not come in the form of trophies for the other speech class, however. This class, taught by Mrs. Geraldine Burns, concentrated on another range of speech experiences. During the fall semester, these students pre- pared to present their version of 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court' and, indeed, it was uniquely their own version. This was due to the fact that upon reaching Act II, the medieval cos- tumed players were thrown di- rectly into Act III by a few boggled lines. From that point, the cast was wandering, improvising, and alto- gether panicking until the com- edy of errors reached its climax as five of the actors made a wrong entrance under the leadership of Paul Heer. Upon realizing his mis- take, this brave young knight quickly quipped, 'Me thinks these prisoners should be back in the dungeon' and led his five charges off the stage through the laughter of both the characters on stage and the audience.

German classes gained valuable knowledge throughout their course taught by Mr. Kelly Alig. While seniors were gaining ex- perience by working on their re- search papers, their comments of- ten led to the conclusion that this phase of English IV was tragedy. Working their way through the tedious process of note taking and making bib cards for the first time, exasperated students would often be heard griping that they were 'getting nowhere'. Nevertheless, when the month of research work was completed and the papers were handed in, these skeptical seniors did feel as if they had 'got- ten somewhere'.

More than one student fills the room of Mr. Foster's Algebra II, as a large percentage of juniors took the class. The classes of Algebra I, geom- etry, consumer math, and general math are equally endured by fresh- men and sophomores because of the two required math courses. Two science requirements also populate the classes of Physical Sci- ences and biology for the unscientif- ic sophomores. Other related courses, such as chemistry, zoology, and botany, are taken later by juniors and seniors. In a way, James is fortunate by be- ing able to be left alone in his stud- ies, yet nothing can replace the learning and fun enjoyed in the oth- er math and science classes.

Along with that, the class practices archery, gymnastics tennis, basketball and volleyball. Coaches Dennis Cain and Roberta Swearingen enjoyed their co-ed P.E. class even while going through CPR! Driver's Ed students exper- ienced running stop signs and Mr. Richard Beck having a nervous breakdown nearly everytime someone drove. However, the first few weeks were spent taking notes before he cautiously took them to the streets. There was a day that both Suanne Wymer and Mr. Beck stomped on the brake together when she nearly hit a pole. But Mr. Beck rarely has to resort to such drastic action. Careers! Careers! Models, doc- tors, teachers, secretaries, busi- ness men and women of tomor- row, are just a few of the occupa- tions studied by students in Mrs. Bonnie Campell and Mrs. Judy Dobb's career classes. Research is done by interviewing people al- ready in a profession they are in- terested in. They invite speakers to come to class and talk about how they got their positions. Max Carlisle, optometrist, was a speak- er to the Careers II class. Anita Katzung said, “He opened your eyes to the world of work. Crime, a very serious matter in the Government class. Crime seems to be a part of today's soci- ety as much as T.V. and cars. Very few people understand why it's happening and how it can be stopped. Yet the Government class, taught by Mr. Skip Baird is attempting to solve those puz- zling questions. The problems of theft, murder, and rape have become increasing- ly worse, but it reached its peak when on Monday, March 30, President Reagan was shot. FOCUSED ATTENTION.

Each day, for five to ten minutes, girls practiced exer- cises that can be done at a desk in an office. What a show this was for oth- er classes passing by the business room. When there were a few min- utes to spare Donna Keeton, Susan Wahl ad Kim Kelly always found a way to sneak into the Auto or Farm classes to flirt with the boys while the rest of the girls gabbed about the latest fashions or gossip. Like grade school students and re- cess, for many Vo-Tech students break time was the most important part of the day. The business girls were known as constant clock watchers and proved this by never missing a daily break for any reason. In this well-equipped building west of town Joe McLain, Mike Loll- man, Curtis Wallace and Shane Helm meet every school day morning — in «Sj i tead the Farm Mechanics Department of vo-tech. 'Each session lasted three hours but it seemed like only a few minutes according to Randy Eita- zen and Russ Wilson who in the afternoon class.

He plans to study art and photography at SWOSU. For 2Vi years james has been scaring camera-shy students for the sake of complete yearbook coverage. He has set up a small business taking pictures for friend's weddings and engagements. Students learned not to jump at the flash and usually just groaned, 'Watch out, Joe and James are at it, again!'

Tearful seniors listen as classmate Dottie Just sings “Thy Will Be Done at Commencement. Most Happy Fellow! The crowd cheers and rises to its feet as a beaming senior boy steps forward to receive several ribbons at the awards assembly. Since kindergarten, Randy Eitzen has been an important part of the Class of '81. Randy has made the rocky road to success smooth by constant determination. Spending his middle school years at the Progressive School, Randy returned to Fairview Schools in the 9th grade. As an avid practitioner of physical education, he has participated in the Special Olympics for two years, returning with many first place ribbons in track ana basketball. These achievements help build his stamina and act as a therapy to help him conquer academic goals as well. Mrs. Cindy Boucher, his teacher, has helped reinforce Randy's confidence in himself. After school, Lori Bartel coached Randy and helped him prepare for tournaments and competitions. Constant encouragement and reinforcement are what Lori felt would help Randy succeed. 10.5 Seniors Sometimes You Lose t or some it seemed that the 1 best of times could easily become the worst. Though seniors had first in Homecoming and Sadie Hawkins, a new parent's appreciation dinner, and a spectacular Class Night, the tide often turned on individuals. Debbie Nickel wasn't happy as she sat on the bench, after fouling out, and watched her team lose in the Area finals. Toni Jantz did not feel like jumping for joy after the 440 at state when she lost her shoe and was passed by other runners. Lost shoes and lost games were not the only setbacks. A jaw broken by a baseball kept Clayton Dow drinking liquid food through a straw for six weeks. On top of it all, the cherished dreams of an outdoor graduation had to be scrapped at the last minute due to rain. However, these seniors took their biblical motto seriously when it said, All things are possible unto him that believeth . To them, winning wasn't everything. It was the trying to win that counted. FRIENDLY GOSSIP. Yvette Houghland shares her portion of the class will with Jamie Bailey, Terri Jones, Debbie Nickle, Debby Stepp, and Terri McKee.

A speech to entertain given by Michelle Hein centers around many funny tales of Ozark Mountain folk. Teamwork Triumphs In October of 1977 two Freshman boys decided together that they would be senior class president and Student Council president. In May of 1981 Kirk Priddy and Randy Patzkowski wondered why they ever wanted these jobs. After a busy senior year as the two most important student leaders, May brought no relief from the usual pressures for Randy and Kirk. Putting their other duties momentarily aside they took on the roles of Class Night directors, producers, and hosts. Using the theme Hee Haw'', the two stayed up until one or two every morning creating one of the most elaborate productions in Fairview High School history. Set construction and rehearsal went swiftly by and at 8:00 on Tuesday, May 12 Kirk and Randy were in the spotlight singing, Where, Oh, Where, Are You Tonight? and smiling with the satisfaction of four years of successful teamwork behind them. GLOOM AND DESPAIR. Class Night hosts Kirk Priddy and Randy Patzkowski join in their own version of the Hee Haw song, Gloom, Despair, and Agony on Me during the May 12 program. 109 Seniors JUST SITTING AROUND.

Another pair of ill-fated vehicles collide in an unexpected meeting, as one more Junior wrecks his car. More than 20 FHS students have had wrecks during the fall and 10 of those wrecks involved juniors. Mike McLain, Renee Chill, Russ Wilson, and Becky Mabry were just unlucky, another car backed up into them, but Tina McDaugle was driving Ron Weber's car and hit her parents car while driving into her driveway. Speaking of unlucky, just turning sixteen, Mike McLain was practicing his parallel parking before he went to take his drivers test and hit the car in front of him. Why Scott Wimer didn't look behind him when he was backing out of the parking section, we don't know but Mrs. Bonnie Campbell just happened to be coming down the street when he smashed into her car. Chris Stecklein totaled his car while returning to town from hunting. Chris said, It scared me worse than anything that has ever happened. Paul Heer had a small mishap also, he 'slightly' ran into his garage door. It didn't do anything to the car but it sure messed up his garage door. Donna Hoffman and Todd Meritt were driving Christy Wichert's car during Homecoming week when they ran into the side of a drunk man's pickup. Christy's feelings were You'll never see anyone else driving my car again! One thing to be thankful for is that there were no serious injuries involved in any of those accidents.

A small minority, of about 14%, were for independent John Anderson and Libertarian Ed Clark. Republican Junior Kay Vogt was extremely active in campaigning by distributing Reagan buttons, sometimes forcing them upon those unwilling 12% rarities, the admitted Democratic students. Being extremely involved, Coach Skip Baird's government class set up a mock election which they compared to the national election. This class also witnessed a firey debate between Republican representative Jack Walch and Democratic fill-in Jim Slater. As the real election reached it's end on the night of November 4, Reagan was elected by a landslide victory. The results were remarkably the same in both elections. The 1980 election gave the government students the chance to learn about running an election. But even greater, it gave all students the chance to participate in casting their vote. POLITICAL POWER.

French braids, levi jeans, nick- names, diamonds and anything gold are definitely in, but topping the list are the famous Nike tennis shoes! Their bazaar color combi- nations of blues, reds, and greens catch the eye of the students. The swoosh stripe give them their look of class that made them so popular. The mystery of this fad is ex- plained in a variety of ways. Mi- chelle Freed reasons 'They're the only shoes that don't make my feet look big'. When Brent Boul- ware asked Tonya Gustafson 'Why do you need two pair of Nikes?' She replied, 'They both looked so neat, I couldn't decide!' In spite of their high price, most sophomores have found a way to own at least one pair. TOGETHER AGAIN. Nike wearers congregate in the gym corridor passing their mid-morning break.

Sophomore Shelly Molidor had to prove 'everyone' wrong. Six hours after arriving at LDI leadership camp, near Lake Texhoma, she was bitten on the foot by two copperhead snakes. While it didn't prove fatal, it was 10 days and 9 ampuls of anti-venom later when she was released from the hospital in Enid where she was flown after her parents made a fast trip to Madill to get her. Now camps have their good name back, and Shelly has her leg. Horn Creek Camp in Colorado had the presence of five sophomores. Since this was their first year, the juniors and seniors taught them how to have fun by pulling all the old camp tricks on them. Falls Creek, the Baptist retreat in Southeastern Oklahoma, kept its population up by returning seven sophomores for their third year of camping. They already knew the tricks and had more fun using them on unsuspecting 8th graders. Tonya Gustafson and the other cheerleaders attended Southwestern College cheerleading camp. By the end of the week the odor of Ben-Gay and bottles of Doan's Pills filled their suitcases.

The most interesting project in Oklahoma History was an oil well erected by Alan Sandefur and Stacy Farran. The oil well, constructed from an Erect-A-Set Building Kit, was 3 ft. tall and took them a day and a half to rig up. The oil well came complete with a small motor that mechanically lifted small iron rods and was lighted. Decorated cake projects were explained to the class, and after being approved by Mrs. Bonnie Campbell, they became an early 'after school' snack. The cakes were decorated with different symbols of Oklahoma. Some were shaped as the state itself with all 77 counties outlined. A wooden State Seal, made by H. W. Way was so beautiful that it now hangs in his Dad's office. Most of the Freshmen enjoyed doing the projects. 'It adds a little more excitement to the class said Kerry Priddy.

Being a Freshman with an older brother or sister in high school is another. When 22 Freshmen walked into the halls of F.H.S. for the first time in September, they were following in the footsteps of 26 sophomore, junior, and senior brothers and sisters already experienced at the ins and outs of being high schoolers. There were pros and cons for the ninth graders with upperclassman siblings. Though looking forward to the independence of a driver's license, many were glad to have a free ride to most school events, even if it was in their older brother's car. While others were in the dark about the happenings in the upper classes, these ninth graders often heard the inside scoop on the classes. As Mike Cross, whose sister is in the Junior class, teases, You get to hear all the latest love stories of the upper classes. Nevertheless, there are some disadvantages involved. Following in someone's footsteps often involves living up to expectations which may not be realistic. These expectations can lead to unnecessary worry or frustration. Kerry Priddy puts it this way, You have to do everything just the way your big brother did it. The 37% in the class of 1984 who had older brothers or sisters in- high school do seem to have a positive attitude about being so and so's little brother or sister. The experience for them has been both educational and rewarding. WE ARE FAMILY: Greg Miller gets sched- uling advice from his senior sister Kim. Scott Neufeld David Nickel .

It used to be a quiet time, disturbed only by cars and pickup trucks delivering the more fortunate students to the classrooms. Now there is the distant hum, then a few putt-putts, closer it comes, louder it grows until walking students must furiously dodge the 'Chamberlain Angels' moped gang. Streaks of shiny metal and bundled-up bodies fly by as Mark Wilson and Marty McMurphy race to get the best possible parking space. Multi-colors form an array of flashes as the names Baretta, Honda, and Sachs blur together. Kara Bradford swears her Puch is best. The leader of this gang is undoubtedly Dusty Hoffman, who, as reported, is the most daring mopeddler. In February, local policemen lectured on bad driving habits. They were warned that tickets would be given for infractions like running stop signs and passing on the right. Man's fascination with motors and wheels explains the craze of preteens for mopeds.

Each day from 3:15 till 6:00, Misti Neal, Deborah Ford, Lois Janzen, Traci Bowers, and Melissa Kahn work on the parallel bars, horse, and floor exercises. Unlike the football or basketball teams, this team was a group of individuals. While they participate in a variety of meets individually such as the jenks, Hennessey, and Mat Trotters meets, they accumulated points for the whole team. Maybe each individual will not go to the Olympics but some of them have made a good start. Deborah Ford qualified for the sectionals meet after a month and a half of practice, but an injury of her elbow kept her out for the rest of the year. The biggest surprise of the year was when Coach Langston's wife went into labor at the Fairview Gymnastic Meet and later on that night had a baby boy. Olympics or no Olympics, Coach Langston enjoys helping each young person attain her own goal, because as each person grows the team grows. PRETTY POSE.

Down! Down! The voice of Bill McCue echoed down the grade school halls as he, Allen Moose and Nick Harris had their sixty-one young wrestlers warm up for Saturday morning practice. High School football players are often heard complaining about the two-a-day practice, but the third grade athletes involved in wrestling eagerly awaited their chance to practice three long evenings a week. Brett Dobbs attended OSU summer wrestling camp while his mother was in school there. 'It was really tough but I liked it Brett commented. In his first meet his COORDINATION SKILL. Rachel Avery dribbles the ball against an opponent during a relay game in the grade school gym. kids training paid off as Brett finished first in the 75 pound division. The Fairview Take Down Club came in with 4th place over all, losing out on third place by one point at the Stillwater YMCA. On a night before a wrestling meet the young wrestlers are unable to eat so that they can be weighed in at 6:30 a.m. The wrestlers compete at least two times at a meet and as many as five times if they are winning. Matt Weins was able to come in first place at the meet in Ponca City YMCA while his twin brother Jeff came in third and Danny Woods got fourth place. Winning and losing was not the only thing they gained. They experienced the thrill of competition, agony of defeat and learned to discipline themselves in order to achieve the goals they set.

Debbie Zahorsky is proud to be one of the 22 girls in Brownies. Older brothers such as Mike McLain walked with these girls around their neighborhood to sell Girl Scout cookies. Mike said, 'Even though it was my only day off that week, Mom convinced me that Sabrina needed my assistance. I guess it was pretty fun.' Amy Bowman was highest sales person with 210 boxes. Amy is also the smallest girl in the organization. COOKIES AND KOOL-AID. Brownies met in the basement of the Methodist Church each Monday for refreshments before continuing with the activities such as a penny walk, an afternoon in the park, or selling cookies. Activities such as selling cookies and going on field trips are part of this group. Songs are sung each Monday afternoon when these girls meet at the First United Methodist Church. Mrs. Norma Koehn and Mrs. Carolyn Stevenson sponsor these girls while they take turns bringing the cookies and kool- aid to each weekly meeting. Girl Scout cookies are sold nationwide and the brownies in Troop 62 do their fair share. Boxes were sold by these first and second graders in October and were delivered in February. With encouragement from their parents, these girls will continue into Girl Scouts and Cadettes with fellow members.

STORY TIME. Mrs. Naomi Witzen tells the ever popular Peanuts story to Andy Woods, Chris Cain, and Amy Starker who seem to be totally involved and interested with the story's end. Not a Bad First Year What do 56 kindergarten students and Dr. Dewayne Colvin have in common? They have all just spent their first year in Fairview schools. There were adjustments to make. The kindergarten children had to get used to a new schedule and two new teachers. Dr. Colvin had to make out schedules and get used to 62 teachers. He inherited a proposed grade school that would need a bond issue to finance it. There was new legislation on Staff Development and programs for the Gifted and Talented. But worst of all was a bit of legislation called H.B. 1236 that would strip rural schools of up to two-thirds of their operating money. This bill was to consume weeks of intensive travel all over the state. A total of 671 voters showed up at the polls to vote on a $961,000 bond issue to build a new elementary school. The issue was expected to pass but the 62% was greater than had been anticipated with everyone complaining about inflation. The new school with classrooms, kindergarten rooms, music room, library-media center, storage rooms, physical education facilities offices, dining room and kitchen will cost approximately $155 million. Dr. Dewayne Colvin, superintendent of schools since June of 1980 said that the present and past school boards are to be commended in their planning for school expansion. Dr. Colvin, President of Northwest Oklahoma Administrators led the opposition of House Bill 1236. H.B. 1236 which would consolidate school money into a central fund, would severely hamper the operation of the Fairview school system and eventually eliminate most rural schools. Along with work in political areas the Administration helped start a PTA group. The PTA, along with the school officials, sponsored an open house in the three schools and served a chili supper before the schools were open for visiting. Improvements of the high school included lighting in all of the classrooms. New glass doors were added to the building during the summer. The kindergarten students adjusted well and passed on to become first graders. Dr. Colvin survived and admitted it was 'not a bad first year RULES AND REGULATIONS. Students of Mrs. Bonnie Campbell's History class listen to their guest speaker. Dr. Dewayne Colvin, explain Oklahoma school laws. STRATEGY CONFERENCE. Mr. Don Friesen, Mr. Marvin Martens, Mrs. Kay Davis, Mr. Joe Houk and Dr. Dewayne Colvin discuss the upcoming grade school bond issue, over lunch at the school cafeteria.

The 60 fac- ulty and non-teaching personel seem to do a very good job of being prepared. And one exam- ple is Mrs. Geraldine Burns. Be- sides being busy with her husband she likes to garden and to do her crewl work. She said she must be ready for a good start each week and if you should ask any student, they would have said that she cer- tainly was ready. Another example is a newcom- er to our clan, Mrs. Bonnie We- del. Besides caring for her son, Ja- cob, she attended school at SWOSU on Monday nights. She said she enjoyed teaching at this school very much. IRONING IT OUT. Mrs. Geraldine Burns improvises an ironing board with her podium to smooth the wrinkles from a senior homecoming decoration.

Smiles, whether genuine or painted, beamed from pictures in August until graduation. Tears were shed at the death of classmate, John Herren, yellow ribbons were displayed for the hostages and green ribbons were worn on the uniforms of the NBA basketball teams to recognize the concern for the murdered black children of Atlanta. Mr. Bill Denton, resigning as principal after five years, came close to tears as he commended the graduating class for his and their final time. 139 Closing PARTICIPATION OF A DIFFERENT KIND.

The disappointment of losing the homecoming football game, the silence after the school was emptied for the last time, and the turning of the tassles made everyone realize how close we had become. The beat up lockers which stood so tall against the orange carpet, the teachers who usually understood why your homework was late, and the classmates who always managed a friendly 'hi' brought everyone closer to what counts.

We hope they brought you closer to the events throughout the year that counted most in our lives.
