TRIUMPHANT SMIRKS come along with the Homecoming award given to Senior Class President Kirk Priddy by Student Council President, Senior Randy Patzkowski as Superintendent, Dr. Dewayne Colvin, expresses his approval. 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

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.
