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.

To) obby sox, poodle skirts and hair i-2) grease by the gallon were in style on '50s day, a new adventue for FHS students. 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.

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.

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.
