H.W. was the most vociferous supporter of the basketball teams. Title Page Photo. DOUBLE TAKE. Quarterback David Miller has a chance to view the offense from the sideline while recuper- ating from a slight injury. 2 Opening Ordinary at First Glance RIDING HIGH. David Sauls volunteers his service to help demonstrate the techniques of riding a unicycle. Eric Jones and Kriss Kliewer lend a shoulder to get him off the ground. Outsiders would think of this as being 'just an ordinary small town school.' They would think of the 260 students as being 'country kids from a hick town.' That is, until they take a second look. They would see talent and leadership in Dena Heffley sing- ing on Danny's Day, Susan Jen- sen elected Lt. Governor at Girls State, and Andy Shewey attending the Five-State Track Meet in Shreveport, Louisiana, and they would know some- thing was different. They would see the Yearbook named All-American, bands getting 1's, and the boys track team winning state. They would see stock show winners, and Becky Ford at the State speech contest. There was something out- standing in this little town, where being number one, or being different, was something important and respected. All these things could be seen, but only after a Double Take. Opening 3 Ck c ange v ame wifli a DouiMeT ate Like any other year the chugh- ole filled parking lot was still there, along with the desks, class- rooms, and yellow-bricked mass of lockers. A new principal adjusted to faces on the inside, while a re- painted gym dome brightened the outside. Space shuttle launches were watched on the library TV, and a Royal Wedding influenced the style of prom gowns. Feelings of friendliness and en- thusiasm could be both seen and felt, well worth the time of a Dou- ble Take. FROZEN FOLLIES. Dewayne Moneypenny walks by the school vacated because of the heavy snowfall and child-like plucks an icicle from the gym roof. LITTLE TEDDY. Susan Jensen playfully holds her ted- dy bear in the dinner theater production, 'Seven- teenth Summer.' 4 Opening ENROLLING BABYSITTER. De- dra Meador enrolls for her soph- omore year with a tag-a-long. BUBBLE UP! So involved in doing his Consumer Math, Todd Eitzen begins to drift away in the pro- cess of blowing a bubble. Opening 5 6 Student Life Division Domlle Ta ke m Sfmuleiif Life After the 3:50 bell rang and lockers were shut for the last time during the day, students took on a new per- sonality. Whether it was the sen- iors sudden burst of energy preparing for the police-led procession to the Home- coming bonfire, or an avid group of movie goers ready to wait in line for 'On Gold- en Pond', or 'Chariots of Fire', the diversified interest of the student body de- served a Double Take. FLAKY JOURNEY. Snow is still fall- ing as Chris Stecklein leaves school for his forgotten homework. MASTERPIECE.

Kim Koehn belly flops down a slide at Whitewater after an hour's wait in line. ( ures for the Summertime Bl ues From the very last moment that the very last bell rang and school was officially out for the summer, new events began taking up the days of students. Thousands stopped all activity just to view the Royal Wedding, not letting the rioting or unemployment in England distract any of the grandeur taking place. It was beautiful. I'm so glad I made myself get up at 4:00 a.m. to watch the whole thing ' said Mrs. Jimmie Lou Ward. While listening to Endless Love, Jessie's Girl, and Elvira, on the radio, movie-goers traveled to Enid to view the famed movie. Raiders of the Lost Ark, Superman II, and Stripes. Locally, slow pitch softball took the place of professional baseball on television due to a 50 day strike. Susan Jensen and Sally Davis attended Girls State in Ada. After being voted Lieutenant Governor of Girls' State, Susan had the opportunity to go to Girls' Nation in Washington D.C. Kathy Carroll, Chanin Obermiller, Cheryl Cunningham, Ms. Julie Roy, and Mrs. Bonnie Wedel were busy experiencing the sights and sounds of Germany. Although there were those ended up watching television, for most the intense Oklahoma heat did not get in the way of the search of a fun-filled summer. Summer First S ource Last Resort Sharia Martens attended piano camp at OU, but Casey Reed and Chris Stecklein worked on the school. When summer drew to a close, flag corp practices began taking place at the first crack of dawn to beat the heat. The dreaded two-a-day football practices also started. Almost everyone hurriedly did his last minute shopping of Polo shirts, top siders, and Calvin Kleins. The swimming pool closed as the summer ended and school began again. Besides doing the usual swimming and dragging main or slurping icees, out-of- town escapes were sought by teenagers. Camps are usually the first source (or last resort) for a vacation. Andy Shewey, Perry Johnson, Stan Shewey, and Kerry Jordan hustled off to the OSU basketball camp to improve their dribbling, while Vicki Simmons, Rita Baker, Patrick Countryman, Mike Cross, and Rhonda Simmons went to the West Texas State University Band Camp, where they participated in a two week 'musical experience'. Rita and Pat came back with a first place in a dancing contest. READY FOR THE CAMERA: Renee Chill poses for her senior pictures.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT: Members of the Flag Corp, under the direction of Mr. Craig Gray, go through their flag routine. MUSICAL DUET: Sharia Martens plays through a piece of music with a friend at the Oklahoma University music camp. CUT AND SLICE: Mike McLain, Tammy McDonald, and Kay Vodt cut off the blank third- pages of the 1981 Jacket before distribution party. REFRESHMENT: Johnny Bernal, Chip Peterson, and Deak Harris finish J.H. football practice with a drink of water outside the locker rooms. Summer 11 Spreading Is there life outside the high school? Although it's often referred to as 'the real world' or the 'cold, cruel world', students call it the community: business, churches, and government. Places such as the TG Y, Denton's, Vinton Baker Ford, and Main Street Station are old businesses with new names and a new look. The building of a new grade school and expansion of the hospital are signs of progress in the community. Organized church youth groups added a spirit of closeness and belonging among the towns youth. The Chamber of Commerce is responsible BURGER QUEEN. Kris Gosney rushes hamburgers to the hungry crowd while cooks confer during the Chamber of Commerce Picnic welcoming teachers back to school. Out for the Wranglers Rodeo and sidewalk sale, in July, and they give turkeys at Thanksgiving, money and a car at Christmas. I walked up there and said 'That's me!' says Ms. Lynn Vanderwork, the high school librarian, when she won the car at Christmas. I was in shock. Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Ward were yelling and pounding on me. I don't remember much except Mr. Krouse handing me the car papers from Howard Way. Contrasting with the 10% unemployment rate of the U.S., Fairview is in a boom situation. If the problems of housing is corrected there is no way Fairview won't grow says Vida Lee Bowles, Fairview Republican editor. TRICK ROPING.

Flower girl, Gina Kennemer and crown bearer, Josh Williams, patiently await their part in the Homecoming ceremony prompted by Roberta Swearingen. CROWD APPROVAL. After the crowning, queen Becky Mabry, escort Justin Kliewer, attendents Molly Edwards, Steven Janzen, Cindy Abel, and Kevin Brewer, accept the crowds applause before leaving the field. FIRST THINGS FIRST. Kevin Brewer, Steven Janzen, and Justin Kliewer appear to be ready to get the pregame show [ over and begin the game. 14 Homecoming Hack Had a Shining Moment For one brief shining moment, for an instant in time, three girls were presented to their peers as the Homecoming queen candidates. Senior Becky Mabry, Junior Cindy Abel, and Sophomore Molly Edwards were escorted on to the field by Captains Justin Kliewer, Kevin Brewer and Steven Janzen. I couldn't believe that I had been nominated, giggled Becky. She was crowned queen by kissing captain Justin Kliewer. As the band played Looking Through the Eyes of Love , the three girls made their ride around the field. The largest crowd of the football season arrived at Eubanks field as the Jackets and the state's number one ranked, Okeene Whippits- arch rivals for many vears- roared onto the field. Turnovers were the key to the Jackets loss. The defense did do a good job of keeping Okeene's score down compared to their other games. I was very disappointed because I couldn't play in my final Homecoming game because of a knee injury, but I was honored to have been elected as captain by the team, stated Justin Kliewer. The End of Main from Watonga catered the banquet on Saturday night. More than 100 people enjoyed the wide variety of food and the entertainment from O.S.U. Stuco President Andy Shewey headed the decorating committee and was M-C of the program. I was a nervous wreck before the crowning because I was afraid I would trip in front of all those people. When they announced my name, I cried. It was a dream I never pictured, Becky Mabry said of her brief shining moment. NERVOUS GIGGLES. Excitement fills the air, as the three queen candidates, Molly Edwards, Cindy Abel and Becky Mabry ride onto the field. MIXED EMOTIONS.

Rain provided Juniors Donald Ward and Kevin Foster with a place to wash brushes while Cindy Abel and Shelly Molidor mix paint for their third place window. 16 Homecoming All Part of 'All I want to say is that I am glad it only happens once a year,' sighed Kaylene Young, a sophomore who managed to survive the Homecoming activities for the second year in a row. It was a week of total dedication, confusion, and undone homework for everyone. Homework piled up. The seniors organized a caravan before the bonfire Thursday night. They met at the new TG Y parking lot and had a police escort down Main and to the bonfire sit on the south side of the football field. Friday morning, the senior girls treated their football boys to breakfast at the Highway Cafe instead of baking the TRAIN THE WHIPPETS! First place junior float, driven by Todd Eitzen and accompanied by mascot Kathy Ransford, moves down Main Street during the Homecoming parade. FIRST CLASS ESCORT. Mrs. George Eubanks smiles at the crowd while being escorted by STUCO President Andy Shewey. Mrs. George Eubanks was select- ed Parade Marshall by the Stu- dent Council in recognition of her sixty-seven years of involve- ment in Fairview schools. the Game traditional cake. The rumor got around that the breakfast was suppose to be a 'toga party'. It was just a rumor but Harry Meister arrived dressed in a brown and white sheet. 'I can't believe it!' yelled Jeanna Loftus as Mr. Bill Denton announced the hall winners. Jeanna was one of many sophomores who worked from 4:00- 11:00 every night on their hall, window, and float in the attempt to be 'number one.' The strenuous work did pay off when they came out on top with their M A S H halls. Using the same theme, M A S H, the freshmen rounded up twenty-two painters, swarmed over Anthony's long window, and in two evenings painted their brushes to the handle and their class to a 15-point first place win. The junior class pulled off the whole nine yards when their 'Wagontrain' float driven by Kathy Ransford dressed as a Yellowjacket took first in street competition. Their 'Giligan's Island' halls and bonfire attendance received second, and they placed third with their 'How The West Was Won' window painted on the old TG Y store on Main Street. 'It makes me feel like winning was worth all the hassle!' said Michelle Freed, a junior, who was very pleased of the Homecoming events. Homecoming 17 IN LOVE.

Broderick Barkett had his work cut out for him while trying to persuade Becky Mabry and Mike Colvin to fall in love, during the senior play 'Down to Earth.' FREE TIME. Out of the many airplanes at the Fly-In, Justin Clow, Gregg Miller, Ross Roberts, and John Harris found this stunt plane interesting after the band had finished playing for the Veterans' Day Program. 18 Fall Falling into Routine Familiarizing themselves with the routine of school once again, students became involved in activities that took up most of their time. Jeff Koehn, confused by lack of sleep, on the day of the State Fair Parade, dropped his mouth piece in a manhole. Craig Grey finally retrieved it with the help of a coat hanger. The band played at the Fly-In on November 11, and ranked superior at District Contest. On '50s Day the cheerleaders, Pam Brown, and Michelle Gard dug out poodle skirts and petticoats as leather jackets and greased hair filled the halls. While the FFA students were keeping up with the hectic schedule of the show, Suanne Wymer won the Major County Fair Queen Contest. Dena Smith Heffley was first runner up and Becky Ford was third. Dena made her singing debut on Danny's Day TV show on September 16, which was an exciting moment. At first I was scared to death, but after a while I began to feel like a real celebrity, commented Dena. Juniors were totally confused, picking out the right Senior ring, while publication classes were planning their field trip to the OIPA Workshop. Mrs. Geraldine Burns speech class practiced through October for the FHA Dinner Theater. Mike Colvin and Susan Jensen were perfect for the lead roles. Within two weeks the senior class presented Down to Earth with Roxanne Eck, Broderick Barkett, and Kerry Jordan playing angels with a mission on Earth. TV STAR. When Dena Smith Heffley made Donna Hoffman, and Lisa Robinson watched her singing debut on Danny's Day, Lisa on the library's TV. McCollum, Betina Hale, Michelle Freed, Fall 19 After the S un During the day, the usual scene is one of students walking the halls so slowly they are usually late to class. But after the sun goes down, electricity fills the air as they cannonball home to prepare for dates, work, and special outings. Main Street received its usual wearing down from highschool motorists, along with the familiar Farmers and Merchants Bank Parking lot — used for frequent rap sessions. Other students dashed to Enid to view the movie 'Porky's' and eat at Godfathers. The prudent student' stayed home, desparately studying for dreaded tests or finishing their research papers. People seeking a 'well- cultured life' attended J. Geils and Foreigner concerts in Oklahoma City. Christy Wichert, after Goes D own viewing Joan Jett and the Black Hearts, and the Police, commented, 'Joan Jett seemed to steal the show. She got everyone in the audience involved with her performance. It's the first concert I had ever been to! I really didn't know what I had been missing.' Students desiring a more independent way of life, found jobs after school — that sometimes lasted into the nights. Daphne Evans spent her working hours in the kitchen at the hospital while Bobby Carroll was serving customers at Danny's Food World. TG Y employed the most students. Members of athletic teams had little spare nighttime hours, so weekends were spent making-up for lost time. THROUGH THE FOG. Preparing for the opening number of the Miss Fairview Contest, Tammi Jensen, Kim Koehn and Suanne Wymer wait for the first beat. NEW CHEERLEADER. H.W.

Junior Bettina Hale, has been spending her nights for the past two years with receipts, refunds, statements, and invoices working in the of- fice at TG Y. Nightlife 21 A Little Under the W ecitKer 'Brrrr! It's freezing outside!' was heard all during the winter months. And no wonder. Record temperatures were being recorded all over the nation. School was dismissed three days. Everybody thought that it was fun until they found out those days would be made up. But the cold weather didn't stop that many activities. There were still basketball games. General James Dozier, the head of NATO, was rescued from his captors. Lesa McCollum, Jeanna Loftus, and Mike Castleberry were stopped for driving illegally. Juniors were getting senior rings and taking ACT tests. There was an explosion at the Star Elementary School at Spencer. Planes took the lives of 70 people in a 737 crash into the Potomic River and of 4 Thunderbird pilots in the desert. Actor Paul Lynde died and the ERA movement was defeated twice in the state legislature. After almost a year long investigation into the Oklahoma County Commissioners receiving kickbacks, Major County's Bill Boston, was indicted on 51 counts of mail fraud. One assembly featured Northwestern's singing group the 'Soundsations.' Dedra Meador was picked to be serenaded. Senior FFA boys and sponsors attended the National Western Livestock Show in Colorado. BIG MOMENT. Lisa Robinson and Brian Box await the an- nouncing of the winner of the annual Christmas drawing on Main Street. APPREHENSIVE.

Carla Slaughter, Renee Kahn, Mrs. Bonnie Campbell, and Christy Jackson take time out of Okla. History to add to the spirit of Christmas. 24 Cost Of Being I.O.U.—In Debt, Over-D rawn, an d Under P ressure The unreliability of the greenback caused problems for upperclassmen. Car payments, senior rings and pictures, dating, and new clothes were all necessities. The average senior portraits cost $240. No one's price compared to Becky Mabry's $425 but Ricky Silcott kept his icture cost to a low of 56. Mike Colvin spent $275 on his senior ring while Bill Boulware spent $210 less. 'Students spend too much money on extra senior pictures, clothing, and more graduation announcements than needed.' said Becky Ford. With gas at $1.39 a f;allon, tne average icensed driver spent PENS, PENCILS, AND NOTES. At the Enid Library Russ Wilson reads and takes notes for his English research paper. close to $130 a month. 'Dragging Main' was finished for some students when parents stopped handing out gas money. Like many students who worked 4 to 6 hours a day, junior Vicki Simmons angrily said, 'I work maybe two nights a week at Keck's Feedlot for my spending money and gas. Twenty- five dollars has to last me a whole week; it usually doesn't last me a day!' Dropping gas prices helped a little. The cost of everything is not always in dollars and cents. The average involved student spent close to eleven hours a day in school with sports and meetings. The night lights burned until dawn for English IV students before all research paper deadlines were due. Christy Wichert, when asked if she would ever go through it again, said, 'I would quit scnool first!' COST OF WORKING, lunior Kathy Carroll works dilegently at T.G.

Kim Koehn, Cindy Abel and Misty Meier are rockers in a punk air band skit during the Sadie Hawkin's Day Talent Show. 26 Spring er or The already long hours in class grew seemingly even longer as spring fever tooK hold of the students. Unpredictable Oklahoma weather tried all its stunts-warm, then cold; no rain for months, then more rain than ever before. Plans for outdoor activities were often changed at the last minute. The National Honor Society's picnic for the teachers came on a night of record cold. A week later the freshmen had a beautiful night for their class party. Seniors had to change their plans for a day's outing at Roman Nose to an all- day party at the bolwing alley. Tne juniors had a great evening for decorating the fair building into Venetian splendor. But the next night rain oured during the anquet and prom. The baseball and track teams sometimes had more trouble with the weather than with their opponents. It was a warm day and all the windows in the school were open as the seniors took final exams. Maybe that was one reason the sound of Stecklein's stereo seemed so loud in the building that Chris was sent home to turn it off. Besides the weather, other events affected all lives. Everyone was shocked at the death of comedian John Belushi, and when Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands. A fire in the school's boiler room caused little damage because of quick response from the fire department.

The school colors were still orange and black, but the blue and cold All-State colors hacf taken over in the eyes of the boy's track team as they were proclaimed 1982 Class A Champions. First places taken by Randall Fast in the 330 intermediate hurdles; Andy Shewey in the mile run and high jump; the two mile relay team of Bill Frerichs, Kevin Helton, David Miller, and Guy Swanson; and the mile relay team of Mike Colvin, Darin Miller, Fast, and Swanson defined this as a team effort. Their 58 points doubled Chandler's 29 second-place points. Adding points to the championship were Bill Frerichs and David Miller with 2nd and 3rd in the olors 880 run, and Kevin Helton and Andy Shewey placing 4th and 5th in the two mile run. On the girl's team, Janie Edwards finished 6th in the shot put, and the sprint relay team of Sally Davis, Suanne Wymer, Dedra Meador, and Pam Brown took fifth. 'It hurts,' gasped Andy Shewey to a supportive friend while laboring off the field after winning the mile run. 'But,' he added between breaths, 'it's worth it.' It was a worthwhile experience for all the team whether competing on the field or supporting from the sidelines or nearby tent. As the season started, it ended — as swiftly as one of the state runners crossing the finish line. OFF AND RUNNING. David Miller takes the handoff from Kevin Helton in the two mile relay.

The time drags by for the chil- dren during the long school day. Thirteen years later: the days fly fast and furiously as these 'kids' reach the last week of public school life. Decoration and prep- aration developed the Class Night theme, 'Os- cars' with Andy Shewey and Susan Jensen as em- cees. The night, with Mark Castleberry and Strawn Steele as two wild and crazy Czechoslova- kians and David and Darin Miller singing the pleasures of Doublemint Gum, was carefree fun. But with the closing num- ber 'So Glad We Had This Time Together' the real- ization came that the 'time together' was nearly over. Meeting early for the class trip, only to find that flood waters had moved the trip from Roman Nose State Park to the local bowling alley, was not so much a disappointment as a reminder of how things don’t always go as planned. For a few, graduation's sense of finalness was felt only on the last day, but for most, that Friday was the day when it was felt the hardest. At the break- fast a slide series of hap- penings of the senior year was preceded by card and picture exchanges and memory book signings, leaving many in tears that poured into the night's program. After practice, followed by more practice, the final march was made. The name was called, the di- §loma was given, the oard member's hand was shaken, and the tassel was turned. In an hour it was over. The week had flown by faster than any kinder- garten school day. Caps and gowns were turned in with tearful goodbyes, hugs and congratulations. SLAM DUNK.

Everyone was ready when sophomores memorized lines from Julius Caesar and, even though some were reluctant, no seniors quit when research pa- pers were assigned. A special spark of ambition burned in every individual and after a Double Take, there was in- deed more here than met the eye. AT EASE.

Book report presentations were varied to keep everyone interested. 34 Language Arts Farth, Wmd, Fire Dirt S torm Interrupts Fine Arts Festival 'Maybe it will snow and you can give a skiing demonstration outside.', said Ms. Bonnie We- del, when she was searching for sophomore talent. Snow, it didn't! But blow, it did! as a strong dirtstorm nearly ruined the Second Annual Spring Arts Festival. Playing twenty questions was one way Ms. Wedel found out what special hobbies and in- terests the sophomores had. Then, she and the other Language Arts teachers began recruiting and asking for volun- teers to do presentations at the festival. Booths and presentations, varying from Bro- derick Barkett's collection of movie star photo- graphs to Rod Helton's reading of biorythms, were set up throughout the auditorium. Roxanne Eck helped teach Russ Wilson to crochet, while Kena Krob painted. For younger students, there was face paint- ing, clowns with balloons and a petting zoo set up by Jeff Wilson and other FFA members. Main attractions were performances from 'The Unpaid Four,' 'God's Little Rainbow,' 'The Perils of Priscilla,' put on by Mrs. Burns' speech class. The meoldrama kept everyone laughing, even when case members held up BOO! signs as the villain, Harry Meister, stepped on stage. Harry had some trouble with his mustache while parading around the stage. Part of the way through performance, the fire whistle sounded. Everyone thought it was a tornado warning and left the meoldrama actors in the middle of their first performance. After the fire and the winds died down, the festival went on as planned. Miss Fairview, Suanne Wymer, played her contest piano solo. Talent winner, Michelle Freed, gave a dramatic speech. The evening ended with the band perfor- mance. With the final selection from Kalinni- kov's Symphony, the crowd left knowing that teenagers were capable of more than playing sports, driving cars and eating. SNAKE!

The Oklahoma History Celebration of state- hood included pioneer guest speakers who de- scribed the rough lives of those who settled the state and the brilliant life now. The state Diamond Jubilee was made up of different projects that had been accepted as Oklahoma Celebrations. Taking the whole hour just to work one problem sometimes got geometry and Algebra II students down. In geometry Rod Helton, Pat- rick Countryman, Duane Frerichs, and Justin Clow enjoyed making all the noise possible and blamed unsuspecting Dedra Meador. When studyin about depression and psycho- sis in biology, Janie Edwards was positive that she had every mental illness ever recorded. Mr. John Sellars had to veto many eager sug- gestions such as Allen Sandefur's offer to smoke a cigar in class as an experiment and Bobby Carroll volunteered to bring a rattle snake to school. Also vetoed were Suanne Wymer's jokes in Chemistry which she ended up telling anyway. GUINEA PIGS. Kathy Ransford and Cheryl Cunningham mix up another one of Mr. |ohn Sellar's experiments.

History 37 Untangling Tkougkts, Tk reach Of the many difficulties to be faced in life, being able to express and understand ourselves, being able to function in group situations and being able to cope with our government are the most complex. These problems were the objects of class discussions and projects in art, psychology, sociology, and government. If untangling miles of macrame cord didn't make Danny Harris and Mike Castleberry understand themselves better, at least it made them more patient. If working with hot wax batiking didn't fulfill a need for Kena Krob and Diana Summers, at least it made them more aware. After many unsuccessful starts at weaving, Shelly Classen and Allen Sandefur developed a competition at unraveling their work. There was a pride of workmanship for Shawn Classen when his painting was used on the cover of the anthology, and for Mike McLain when several of his pictures were featured. Understanding the complexities of the mind made psychology and sociology useful subjects. How the mind performs, reacts, and is affected was learned by those enrolled. It is difficult for anyone to understand the government's red tape, but the government class tried to explain the methods and systems behind the doors of Washington, D.C. The class even ran into red tape when they made several unsuccessful attempts to attend court sessions to watch the judicial system at work. LOOSE ENDS.

Patrick Countryman hurries to finish a last min- ute typing lesson in time for the bell to ring. Goes on B What sounded like machine gun fire from a distance was really only Room 13. Seldom was there ever an hour when someone wasn't typ- ing-trying to finish last minute lessons. 'I spend so much time in the typing room, that I consider it as my outside activity Stan Shewey joked. Kaylene Young thought typing was required, therefore, enrolled in the class for a year. She replied that 'even though it wasn't required, it has been a credit well spent.' A word of warning from Georgean Moore, 'Typing is fun as long as you don't get behind.' Shorthand students enjoyed learning to write in a fast, easy manner. Mrs. Judy Dobbs taught this class which was offered only one hour a day. 'The beginning of the year had to be the worst,' stated Pam Kai. 'It started out looking very hard and frustrating, but after you found out what you were doing, it was easy.' Several seniors commented that the class really helped them with research papers, allowing them to take notes faster than the other stu- dents. The most enjoyable part of this class was STUMPED. Susan Jinkens and Susan Jensen are puzzled about an accounting problem. being able to write notes to friends without teachers understanding what was written. Numbers were the basic part of accounting. Adding and subtracting were definitely re- quired. For those who liked bookkeeping or were interested in a business major, it was the right class. Jokes — good and bad — were told by Mr. Bill Hasty to add life to the class. 'It wouldn't be the same without him,' quoted Lori Robinson. 'It is a constant battle between my dad's opinion and his.' Laws, court, and crime were taught in busi- ness law. Making and breaking laws, criminal investigation, plus the complicated court sys- tems, interested five boys enough that they enrolled in the half semester class. Trips were taken to the courthouse, where some students were left behind bars. 'I love to teach the class. It gives me the opportunity to learn more about the students,' said Mrs. Roberta Swearin- gen. Something special was to be found behind each closed door of these business classes. 40 Business EVERY DAY. During the middle of a Typing II lesson, Kim Koehn drops her Ko-rec-type. SECOND LOOK.

Troy was elected state reporter at state convention. 'The first semester we had to appoint offi- cers who were Larry Dick, President; Troy Bowers, Vice President; Mike Cross, Secre- tary; Mike Marlatt, Reporter; Brian Box, Treasurer; and Eric Jones, Sergeant at Arm,' expressed Mike Marlatt. 'We met the governor and presented a gavel to the legislature in February,' added Mike Cross, 'Another handmade gavel was sent to the F.F.A. for their state convention.' Metric 500 car races were held and five from local level advanced to regionals at Southwestern. From there the cars belong- ing to Rodger Bryant, Butch Walenta, and Mike Weaver were sent to state. An industrial arts show, that exhibited all of the projects made by the woodworking classes, was held in May. CAR SHARK.

P.E., Drivers Ed 43 Getting B ack to the B asics Down the hall the sound of clanking pots and pans was familiar as the home-ec stu- dents attempted to learn the fundamentals of cooking. As the girls were busy with cook- ing, and matching plaids, the Vo-Ag students keep themselves interested in the basics of butchering and welding. When asked what the first year of home- ec was like, the replies were often preceded by groans. The sophomore girls got the chance to learn about child care. To make the exper- ience more exciting they had a preschool. The students had as much fun as the chil- dren. Crafts, outside activities, and snacks highlighted the day for everyone. Susan By- field had more trouble than the children with the paint during crafts. Matching plaids was a headache for soph- omore girls. When Judy Unruh was asked what the experience was like she calmly stat- ed, 'It's terrible. Everything is so complicat- ed.' Scribbled speeches for FFA-speech con- test could be seen in the halls in the hands of a frantic freshman, trying to find someone who had the time to type. Doug Stockstill convinced Typing II student, Shelly Molidor, it was a matter of life or death that she type his speech. While freshmen were busy with speeches and sophomores were learning about butch- ering and welding the juniors and seniors were making metal fence panels to raise money for the FFA chapter. They also had the opportunity to learn about motors. HELPING HAND. Lori Schwind lends a hand to Tracey Frantz while helping with crafts during child-care play school. PRECISE.

She and Chanin Obermiller were two of the three women enrolled in the evening auto mechanics class at Vo-Tech. 'The guys had to tear their alternator down and try again and again,' said Chanin, backing up Twila's story. Mr. Ray Schoonmaker, auto mechanics instructor, teased the boys about having trouble when they had to ask for his advice on how to repair the non-working alternator. For the first five weeks all the students stayed in the classroom and studied the ignition and the parts of the alternator. 'Then we went to the shop to tear down, repair, put back together and test them to see what we had accomplished,' Twila added to the recitation of 'what went on in the class.' The regular daytime classes ran smoothly not only for the auto mechanics and farm machinery groups but also in business and health services. Vo-Tech students were lavish in their praise for the instructors and facilities at their school. Paul Burrell was able to apply his farm machinery skills immediately in his job. 'I just wish everyone could use the machines in the business department,' commented Kena Krob. JOB SECURITY. Monte Seabourn fixes the radiator hose on a pick-up during Vo-Tech auto mechanics class.

Students filled their days with teachers and textbooks, and their nights with sponsors and activities. Student Council orga- nized a Sadie Hawkins week for the first time, with students dressing in bizarre ways every- day. National Honor Soci- ety not only gave a pic- nic for all of the faculty, but National Leadership Day allowed members to teach in place of the teachers for a day. The popularity of get- ting involved deserved a Double Take. Organizations Division 49 What a Way to Go I'm freezing to death ' chattered Mrs. Nancy Winn between bites of homemade butterfinger ice-cream, 'but what a way to go!' The Honor Society's appreciation cookout for the faculty came on what turned out to be the coldes April 5 on record. Despite the cold night the faculty enjoyed the evening at Jordan's farm. When president Kerry Jordan announced that the National Honor Society members would be teaching classes on April 28, National Leader- ship Day, he was greeted with cheers (which turned to boo's when he an- nounced that the teachers would be expected to remain in the classroom with the 'student teacher!') Teach they did, with H.W. Way filling in for Mr. Jr. Simmons in band. Not only did he teach band but he characterized Mr. Simmons in dress and actions. President Kerry Jordan checked his group's activities in the classroom in his role of Principia Ed Winn while Bruce Eitzen played his part of Vice- Principal Jim Slater so well that he made Tonya Gustafson angry when he broke up her group of 'hall loi- ters' and sent them on to class. When asked what she learned while teaching, Kathy Carroll said, I know that I never want to be a teacher.

Who would have thought Clark Kent, Miss Piggy and Garfield would have been so admired by Bruce Eitzen, Ms. Lynn Vanderwork, and H.W. Way during TWIRP week? 52 Student Council Talent Skow Tops Tall ey Teachers went crazy. Students went wild. Some got sent home, others completely disguised themselves. It was all part of TWIRP Week, sponsored by the Student Coun- cil. First it was punk day, when all the students showed up in col- ored tights, short skirts and shorts, or with ratted hair and glittery make up. Even though some were sent home to change from the shorts (against school dress code) to a STAYING POWER. It only looks as if Charlie Owens is the only freshman in the tug-of- war against the sophomores on Sadie Hawkin's Day but he had lots of help from the other freshmen 'tuggers and yellers.'

Andy Shewey explains the rules and regulations of homecoming activities to the senior class. longer length, the wild masquer- ade kept going. The highlight of the week was not anti-preppy day, or hero day, but the talent show on Sadie Haw- kins' day. Mike Castleberry impersonated Buddy Holly, and Justin Clow made a mess while showing a 'day in the life of the shortest man in the world.' Then came the picnic in the park. Rivaling classes com- peted in eating, volleying, tugging and car cramming. The excitement of winning, and the disappointment of losing were there, but mostly it was a day of letting off stem and having a good time. Semester tests took its toll in late hours so some people slept through the Christmas movie where candy canes substituted for popcorn. Of the nine STUCO sponsored assemblies, the favorite ones were the Soundsations from NWOSU and the Hacky Sack players. Most of the work of the STUCO went unnoticed — the meetings, writing the student handbook, running the student government and elections — but events like homecoming, assemblies, the Christmas party, Sadie Hawkins and other special days, took orga- nization and just plain work and were very apparent to the student body.

Student Council 53 Dark R oom xposures What has 16 legs and develops best under red lights? The new pho- tography class. Built during the sum- mer of 1981, the darkroom provided a new journalistic class with an ap- proach differing from that of writing newspaper or yearbook copy. With a classroom approach, Mr. Terry Cof- fey taught processing of film and use of the enlarger. Photographers had to meet deadlines for the publica- tions and for individual projects that were displayed at the Spring Arts Festival. As photo editor Mike McLain discovered, 'We learned how to use photography as an art form.' Whether it was 'Harry's Album Re- view, or the 'Tips from Tigger' col- umn, the STING remained alive. With several letters to the the editor being turned down because they were unsigned or because of subject matter, Editor Jeanna Loftus said, 'It was difficult to complete pages be- STINC STAFF.

Even with the setbakcs, they produced twelve issues of school news. The staff of the yearbook was comprised mainly of underclassmen with no previous experience. The year began its usual way — having the annual signing party at the park and missing the first printer's dead- line by several days. But then came the second deadline — and then the third. When pictures didn't turn out or took forever to be printed, things really looked in the gutter. Staff members once again spent early summer weeks finishing the book. During two tornado alerts Kay Vogt and Mike McLain ran back to the high school to secure the fin- ished pages in the concrete dressing rooms of the gym. Kaylene young summed up all the extra time she spent on the book by saying, 'Some- day my prince will come — and I'll be working on the yearbook!' PHOTOGRAPHY STAFF.

Although satisfied with the music and their performance the band was completely dissatisfied with ratings that nobody understood — least of all Mr. C.W. Simmons, 'We did the best we could and that's about all we could do. Fingers twittered up and down, while eyes bulged and faces got red from lack of breath. No, it wasn't someone demon- strating sign language, or playing charades, but just the school concert band preparing for the Spring Arts Festival. With all the children and teachers there from the grade, mid- dle and Progressive schools as well as the high school, the city auditorium was more than a little crowded. While Mr. Simmons sweated, wav- ing his fists in the air, keeping time, band members tapped their feet on the wooden floor, displaying the re- sults of all the many practices they had gone through. This was going to be the last per- formance of the year, until Mr. Jerry Cross and 'Big Daddy' Miller's Band Boosters organized a mini-concert in the park, complete with cake and home-made ice cream. Esther Wymer obviously enjoyed the outing, for she stated, 'It was so relaxing! It reminded me of an old- fashioned get together.' Two hundred and eighty students, parents, and guests attended the band banquet and were entertained by the Roustabouts from Northern Oklahoma College. Two members were given special honors. Mel Cross received the John Phillips Sou- sa Award for the years most out- standing senior. Sharia Martens re- ceived the Louis Armstrong Award for outstanding senior member of Jazz Band. Adding to the banquet was the crowning of band queen Roxanne Eck by President Randall Fast. Attendents were Julie Bartel es- corted by Eric Jones and Janie Ed- wards escorted by Mike Cross.

Being on time was stressed by the teachers. No tardies were allowed. Heading to Stillwater for the Oklahoma State Contest was an unforgetable memory. After leaving her flute at home, Lori Schwind was demoted to carrying a flag in the parade. For the first time in four years, the band dropped down to second place. On October 21, the band went to Alva and received excellent ratings which aided them in being able to play in the State Sweep stakes Competition. Preparing for these contests took long hours of hard work. Rain or shine, members were out in the Chamberlain practicing fields. Mr. Jerry Cross was upset on the morning of December 2, when he found his stereo had been stolen the night before. 'I walked in my office, and my table was empty,' he moaned. No traces could be found of the equipment or the whereabouts of the thieves. Such things as Northwest Honor Band and camp at West Texas University were available for students who wanted to better themselves in the musical field. 'Band camp was a blast,' Mike Cross commented. 'I learned a lot of things, and met new people.' With concert season just around the corner, every band member cheered. As Daphne Evans stated, 'I am really tired of early band.' STIFF MOVES.

The sounds of Mr. Kelley Alig's reprimand was heard over the taperecorder as the choir listened to the playback of their contest pieces. After singing the same two pieces of music for nine weeks, students began to lose interest. However, they improved a great deal. When it came time for District Contest, all hope was lost after receiving 2's and 3's. Choir director, Mr. Alig stated, 'They did their best and I'm proud, and considering the fact that no other mixed choir received one's, we did well.' Students as well as Mr. Alig had the experience of a student teacher, something new to everyone in choir. Mr. Joel Haas, from Alva, added a little life to class but as David Sauls found out, 'He could be just like other teachers', after being sent to the office for causing a disruption. Mr. Haas finished his student teaching before Christmas, but came back to help direct two songs of the Christmas program. It turned out to be one of the best programs the choir had given.

But with work, new cheers and a lot of enthusiasm, the cheerleaders managed to get the crowd into the swing of things. Spirit reached its high during bas- ketball season. With the help of H. W. Way's pom-pom's and Justin Clow and Stan Shewey's coo-doo matches, the crowd began to enjoy cheering. Quite a scene was made as the boys and girls teams cheered each other on by doing pac-man, an ex- citing tension breaker and noise maker, at the Laverne tournaments. 'The Seiling cheerleaders asked us to do pac-man during their game be- cause they thought it was so neat!', said Judy Unruh. IS THIS NOT A BASKETBALL!

STUCO members also participated by doing a skit called, 'I'm a Jacket,' at the pep rally for the Laverne game. Before game preparations and spirit signs were an essential part of supporting the teams. Many hours were spent making locker signs and decorating the locker rooms.

Shelly Wanzer was taken back to her childhood when she had to wear a diaper. After the dreadful week was over, a formal initiation was held in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Way. Laughter also rolled through the gym during the father-daughter basketball game as Andy Shewey, Steve Schmidt, Charlie Owens, Justin Clow, H.W. Way, and Vince Eitzen did their interpertation of how cheerleaders should act as they supported the 'daughter team.' A group of mothers cheered for the dads. Coaches for the girls were Randall Fast and Jeff Wilson. Magazines were sold to earn points for State Rally which was held in Oklahoma City. A work day also added money to the state rally fund as each girl spent the day they had off for parent-teacher conferences working in various businesses and homes.

Doiikle Take in iSpOPtts Drive and preparation were there. It was seen in the players through two- a-days, in the fans who followed over the state, and in the coaches who spent more time on practice fields than at home. At first, it wasn't appar- ent. Smiles would turn to frowns when a play didn't go right. Tears would line eyelids when scores came out short. But the drive remained and the preparation paid off enough to encourage the girls relay team to compete at the state lev- el and win fifth, and the boys track team to win a state championship. From individuals like Kevin Helton running the Wheat Capital Classic Marathon, Andy Shewey, Bruce Eitzen, and Sally Davis competing in post season basketball, to Randy Young's .453 bat- ting average, determined to excel could be seen. Through each indivi- dual's efforts, a team was formed. One that looked better with each Double Take. LONG PRACTICE.

Maratk on Man Runn ing for Your Life Marathons aren't really races but tests of strength and durability. 'You never stop, but keep going because, if you stop, you might not get going again,' said Rod Helton referring to his brother Kevin, who knows about this. Kevin is an extra-ordinary senior who has made running a large part of his life. He runs approximately 15 miles a day. He placed 1st in his age group in Enid and Watonga, and 10th in the marathon in Tulsa. He has won numerous awards in track and received a track scholarship from N.E.A. M. takes as much dedication, hard work, and drive as running does for Kevin. His family travels with him to every marathon he runs, to give him plenty of support. He started running about four years ago be- cause he was too small for any other sports. In fact, he was so small that he's taken shots that resulted in his growth of an 8 in. and 20 lb. gain to 57 and 113 pounds. Kevin is a health food nut who doesn't drink cokes, eat chocolate, and never touches greasy foods. Kevin has been so totally devoted to his run- ning that he has missed out on many things. He feels it's all been worth every minute that he has put into it. 72 Individual Sports ROLLING ALONG. Kaylene Young wheels through the Bicenntenial park on her roller skates.

In Fairview, Oklahoma, America, the Friday night entertainment is football. Even with their team having a 2-8 win-loss record, the fans got their money's worth. And the team got its 'share of experience' as Sophomore Shawn Classen explained. A large percentage of the football team felt that their tough schedule was not really a factor in the losses, yet six Jacket opponents made the playoffs and Okeene, who spoiled FJomecom- ing with a 35-0 win, won the State Champion- ship. 'We did have several good teams on our schedule related Steve Schmidt, Senior cen- ter, 'but we should have beaten those several good teams.' Oklahoma weather, always a factor, played its tricks from September through November. At Medford the night began extremely hot. Be- fore half, all the dirt from Kansas blew across the field. Then, the rain began. For an hour and a half, which served as an extended halftime, most of the adult fans sat in their cars, while the students frolicked in the stands and on the field as the rain poured. Both teams' cheerleaders trooped onto the field, taught each other yells and waited for their teams to come out. When they finally did, Fairview played better than be- fore, yet Medford won, 7-17. Three games later, on the Watonga field, fog filled the air so that the quarterbacks could never be sure that their receivers were in the same areas as they had thrown the ball. As the season ended there was an under- standing that, 'Even though,' as Junior Brent Boulware stated, 'we didn't get what we want- ed,' it was a good year of exciting games and 'Friday Night Fever' will still be around next fall.

Football -Two Punch Our season was like David and Goliath ' said Junior High Coach Terry Coffey, We were small to begin with, when our largest player was hurt the first day of contact prac- tice, our morale was really low. The team recovered by their first game, stunning the Alva Goldbugs with a score of 8-0. With their small size it seemed incredible at the time, but the games passed and their run-oriented offense and hard hitting defense kept re- peating their initial success. They had a string of 13 wins in a row (beginning in October 1979) until their fourth game defeat by Seil- ing after two overtimes. Coach Coffey relat- ed that the team had a big disappointment in that they didn't have the chance to win the conference playoff for what would have been the third straight year. The 'agony of defeat' was endured only two times by the Junior Varsity in their eight game schedule. Losing to Watonga was dou- bly bad when Rod Helton broke his hand as Watonga came from behind on a punt-re- turn touchdown to win 14-12. Overtime luck was with the J.V. when they scored last to beat Alva 22-14. JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL TEAM.

Coach Richard Beck gives a short talk to Rod Helton, Bruce Eitzen, Larry Brickman, Andy Shewey, and Kerry Jordan at the Laverne tournament. Locker room talk existed in every school with every team. It helped relieve tension and cre- ated friendships. 'When we're all in the locker room together, we can show each other how we feel. That's when we're a team!' stated Perry Johnson. 'From tonight on every game could be our last. No more games, no more tournaments, no more playing for the home crowd. This is it.' 'Yeah, I guess so.' 'Kinda sad isn' it?' 'Remember the time Andy stuffed the ball and Coach Beck got mad so he took him out?' 'Yeah it really made everyone mad but Andy could handle it.' Think of all the times Bruce ended up sprawled on the floor instead of his feet.' 'You bet, just like we were coo-dooed in '82!' Darn tootin'!' 'Well, fellas this could be the last game but we're gonna try out hardest to make it last a little longer.' 'Let's go for it' With the Jackets leading by five points and only eight seconds left to go, a two point layup, a technical foul, two freeshots, and another two points gave Guymon the win. Since it was the first game of districts, that was the last ballgame for the Jackets. Kerry Jordan revealed the team's bitter feel- ings when he said, 'We all feel we got ripped off but that does not change the score!' TOUGH GUARD.

With alternating start- ers, Carl Hein, Richard Schmidt, Rod Helton, Gregg Miller, Mike Cross, and Stan Shewey, height, speed and skill were all present. Wearing hand-me-down suits, beginning games so early that only a handful of devoted parents made up the audience, even riding the mini-bus to games didn't discourage the J.V. They were sure they could make a clean sweep of the schedule. But it was not to be. Clinton, Class 3A powerhouse, came to the newly estab- lished J.V. tournament and downed the home team in the first round 80-64. 'Losing to Clinton really hit us hard. After that loss, we were de- termined to win the rest of our games, and we did,' said Justin Clow. Finishing the tournament with a consolation trophy, the rest of the games were winners. 'We almost didn't get to play the Woodward game because of snow. They were so late get- ting here we ran into the time for the girls to play,' was Scott Neufeld's comment. They ended their 11-1 season by beating He- lena Training School 80-70 in a run-and-gun game. The Junior High team wasn't as fortunate. With two of their starters, Deak Harris and Chip Peaterson, moving in the middle of the season, things began to look a little dim. It became even worse when starter Terry Wimer broke his nose during a practice. He was still able to play though, by wearing a mask during the games. Charlie Owens commented, 'We had some really bad luck with injuries and people moving away, but all teams experience that at one time or another.' There were some shining spots, though. After losing a close game to Carrier, the Jr. Jackets came back to beat Hennessey and place third in the Fairview Junior High Tournament. JUMP SHOT.

Women in Action F rust ratio nD ominates Hectic Season With new practice suits and brand new coaches, Lonnie York and Doug Sinor, the sea- son began with a scrimmage against Canton. Adapting to all new plays the girls went through two more scrimmages. Canton girls were playing Fairview again in a close quarter when 5'11 , Pam Cravens went down and in- jured her knee. She joined Sabra Could, who also was injured early in the year, to be manag- ers instead of players. With the tallest defense player out, the only player over 5'4 , Christy Wichert, was switched from forward to play guard. With six first time starters, for the high school team, and playing in a higher class, 3A, the Lady Jackets began their season. The first win of the season was at the NWOSU tournament in which the Jackets de- feated Classen 40-33. The losing streak contin- ued but the girls never gave up. The Laverne Tourney proved to be a high point in the season as the Ladies had another victory over Beaver, 38 to 25. Even though the record stood two and eigh- teen, the girls had the spirit and pride to keep on going. They were never losers. Coach York said, “I am proud of the girls, but with the lack of experience we had, we just couldn't get things all together.'' GOING FOR A LAY UP: Denise Baird (25) drives in for two against Weatherford. But, the Eagles ended up on top 54- 27. DEFENSE: With hands out, Tammie Jensen (15) and Sally Davis keep Pioneer from scoring. Pioneer came out the winner 40-28.

Starting with a game against Hennessey the inexperienced sophomores plunged in to win their first victory, 40-37. Just as fortunate, the Jr. High girls wouldn't give up. 'The highlight of the season had to be our last game against Alva,' replied Katresa Jor- dan. 'After being down by 10 points, we came back to beat them by more than 15.' Coach Lonnie York let everyone know he wanted to win, but he mainly was interested in each person separately. 'It made me feel spe- cial responded Michelle Gard.

Kevin Helton gasps for air as coaches Dennis Cain and Skip Baird help him off the field after placing 4th in the State track meet. is l here a 'Is there a doctor in the crowd?’ was repeated too often by announcer Mr. Bill Denton as injur- ies repeatedly caused player after player to leave the field during football season. The team did have it's own student trainer, Bri- an Box. Brian went to the Cramer Athletic Train- ing Workshop held at T.U. for four days during the summer. Classes were taught on prevention, protection, treatment, rehabilitation of injuries as well as a lab to practice taping. Instructed by train- ers from OSU and OU, Brian commented 'I really enjoyed the workshop and I feel that it helped me to be able to help the team.' The football season's big downfall was injuries. Plagued by repeated knee injuries, Justin Kliewer played the whole season 'hurt'. Strawn Steele had a knee injury followed by surgery early in the season. Rod Helton's thumb was broken during the Watonga J.V. game and kept him from playing in the rest of the football season and the first four basketball games. Sabra Gould and Pam Cravens had knee injuries before the basketball season started and were not able to play. For Senior Pam, it was an unbearable disappointment. Needless to say, the theatrical slogan 'break a leg' was not a local favorite. QUICK REPAIR. Brian Box wraps Alan Sandefur's bruised ribs and sends him right back in. DOWN AGAIN!

Togetner as One 'Track, a word of accomplishment wrote Kevin Helton in a letter to the editor, thanking Coaches Skip Baird and Dennis Cain for the winning team that they had formed. For it was a team that plowed successfully through every track meet and on into a state championship. Every point was made by team effort. The nine track meets became repetitions yet not tedious with their early morning depar- tures, encouragement and advisement by the coaches, warming up, psyching up, and starting the events. Repititous, too, was the exclaima- tion of 'Gee, it's perfect weather for a track meet by David Miller, before each meet re- gardless of the fact that the weather was often terrible during Oklahoma's coldest, wettest spring. The reoccurring highlight of each meet was in the final moments as the tropy was brought to the team. Pride gleamed in every eye as it was passed around. 'With everyone giving 100%, Kevin added, 'we've reached our life- long goal, to capture a state championship.' JH BOYS TRACK. FRONT ROW.

Stunned catcher, Brent Boulware, tags a safe player during the Kingfisher tournament. Having the home field was not an advan- tage as the Jackets' ten wins all came on their opponent's fields. Even the one scheduled home game that was a sure win was called because of darkness and had to be finished on the opponent's field at a later date. Some of the most exciting games occurred during the Kingfisher tournament. The first game against Deer-Creek Ed- mond lasted a record breaking 3 hours and 15 minutes as the Jackets scored eleven runs in the seventh inning, to win the game 26-8. In spite of the cold drizzling weather, the semifinals against Piedmont were played the following day. The Jackets were down 7-10 going into the bottom of the seventh inning, one run had been scored and the bases were loaded as senior, Bill Boulware, stepped up to bat. With the count two and two, Bill swung and hit a triple into right field bring in the winning runs. Later Bill stated, 'I knew when I hit the ball exactly where it was go- ing.' The Jackets went into the finals with high hopes, but were unable to hold back the Hennessey team as the lost the game 5-7. Yet they had done what no other FHS baseball team had accomplished in the four years of its existance by bringing home a second place trophy. Coach Terry Coffey said, 'The team gave its best performances during the tournament because they wanted to be the first to bring a home a trophy, and to prove that they were a class ball club.' Unlike the high school, with its best sea- son, the junior high suffered through its worst. Coach Ron Caldwell said, 'With only four freshman, we didn't have the power, experience and leadership we needed be- hind us.' H.S. BASEBALL.

Seniors were seen car- rying stacks of books and a brown folder — almost sacred to the owner — lined with paper clips. It contained hours of long, hard research. Some had up to 200 pages of notes. Hours were spent on cod- ing these notes and bib cards to keep them in or- der. Becky Mabry spent twice as much time on hers, after she dropped her notes all over the floor. The final night arrived.

Susan Jensen finds her timing off as the egg slyly slips through her hands during the egg to at Sadie V Hawkin's day. MASHED. Mike Colvin and Chris Stecklein ride on the third place senior float during the home- coming parade. CLOWNING AROUND. Danny Patterson and Russ Wilson fulfill the class prophecy by dressing as rodeo clowns. This prediction may come true for they both have a great interest in rodeoing. Rod eo Duo Dirt is flung as a steer comes barreling out of the chute. It is followed by the firm roping hands of Danny Patterson. Rounding up the steer, Danny is joined by his partner, Shannon Frascht, and it is roped and brought down. With this roping they move one rodeo grounds closer to the state finals. After twelve district rodeos, Danny is now in the state finals after having to qualify at least in the top six in one of them. Danny and Shannon won the district rodeo at Perry and they are now ranked ninth in their division in the state. Danny belongs to the National and Oklahoma High School Rodeo Association. Simultaneously, the other half of the rodeo duo is performing on other grounds across the state. Russ Wilson, prize bull rider, plans on spending his summer in Weatherford. He recently rode in the night rodeo and has received over $200 in winnings so far. Attending the Lyle Sankey's Rodeo School, Russ plans to rodeo for a career at least while in college. 'A lot of pain is involved,' says Russ, 'depending on where you land.' Yet through it all he realizes, 'you have to get off sometime, it's just like someone grabbing you and pulling you off by your feet.'

Kahn Justin Kliewer Kris Kliewer Kerri Koehn Kena Krob Becky Mabry Seniors 101 Rising Ab A car glides through the Pizza hut parking lot and freshmen girls come running to its side, flagging it down, eager for a borrowed ride. Burning tires and rising dust greet their once hopeful view as they are left behind. But all is not lost. The door of Kerry Jordan's green VW Rabbit opens reluctantly, yet willingly, to the ones without wheels. He sympathetically felt, 'I remember how it was to have to walk.' It seemed to be a lesson in humility for the seniors each time that there was a between- class competition. Lots of planning seemed to be of no avail as the juniors won homecoming — if only by a few points, and the sophomores with Mike Castleberry as Buddy Holly and the Coo Doo match between Justin Clow and Stan Shewey stole the show from all the other performances at the talent show. To compound their blow to HEAVEN ON EARTH. Broderick Barketl, Kerry Jordan and Roxanne Eck play angels who are planning to take Becky Ford to heaven ove tkeRest delicate and fragile senior egos, the sophomores then went on to win the Sadie Hawkin's Day competition. Approaching the school's end, the seniors realized how little all the past humiliations and frustrations brought on by the lower men on the totem pole mattered. Revenge was in their tongues with the reading of the class will and a poetic rendition of 'We Got It, You Don't' by Mike McLain during Class Night events. They now faced graduation, or 'rising above them' as it could be said. Confronted with the realities of leaving home and going to college, they knew that maturity and responsibility lay ahead. They were confident with the fact that they were now adults, and laughed inside at the question of how the underclassmen would hold up when they no longer had the seniors to 'push around.' POWER PULL. Seniors Teri Snyder, Sally Davis and Rex Wichert pul out maximum effort in the tug-of-war on Sadie Hawkin's Day. 102 Seniors EMCEES. Class President Susan Jensen and STUCO President Andy Shewey begin the class night program by introducing the theme of 'Oscars.' LOADED DOWN.

Is this not a winning team?' Becky Ford would yell in one of the favorite cheers. The answer was known before it was shouted back at the top of everyone's lungs. Four of the six cheer- leaders were seniors. Su- san Jensen was chosen her junior year, but the trio of Mel Cross, Becky Ford, and Tina McDaugale had jr gone through three years together. They had faced a lot crowds, cheers, teams, victories and de- feats. Always in the spot- light, they shared these experiences with others but mostly within their tight-knit friendship. Weeks of camps, shop- ping trips, hours of prac- tice and sign painting let them learn all about each other. 'We did everything together. They're my best friends,' said Mel Cross. 'Yes, this was a winning team,' and it definitely ap- plied to the cheerleaders. THREE FOR THREE.

Apparently Ricker was impressed with Mistys wide eyed beauty, for he immediately went to work in creating her image. 'I was shocked but honored' Misty stated while discussing her luck. Misty has received the image of herself in the mold, to go wth the 26 other pieces collected by her parents. Collecting pewter is an expensive hobby compared to other juniors' gatherings. Suanne Wymer fills her spare time by covering her three bulletin boards with various snapshots, dried homecoming mums, and tickets for concerts. Brian Box collects older things. Not only does he have shelves lined with western books, but also has boxes full of old Boy Scout handbooks, pins, and metals. 'It's interesting, and a learning experience; Brian stated. What ever the reasons for starting a collection, the results are the same. A creative outlet, a desire to accumulate more, and a problem of where to display or store all the collection.

Juniors 107 Eating on tke R un The bell rings, doors swing open, and the halls are instantly vacant. The sounds of 'Are you going home for lunch?' and 'Can I have a ride up town?' fill the parking lot as tires squeal and gravel flies by hungry students. How many different ways can a 35 minute lunch period possibly be spent? Juniors found most of them. Mad dashes are made to arrive home in time to see 15 full minutes of 'As the World Turns', 'Days of Our Lives', or 'Ryan's Hope'. Others race uptown to Martens' Drug and to the Kwik Pik with their friends to chow down on Stewart sandwiches or fried chicken and to catch up on the latest gossip. The only reason for CHOW TIME: Finishing one of the many officers meetings, Kim Koehn, Michelle Freed, Bettina Hale, and Shelly Molidor discuss future banquet plans. rushing at 12:20 is not just because of hunger however. According to Kathy Ransford, her motives are, 'The only reason why I hurry is to beat Mr. Bill Hasty out of the door!' Arrangements for lunch are often made during class. For instance, class officers (never president Casey Reed, of course) dream up excuses like, 'Mrs. Ward, I really DO have to go out to my locker for a second!' so they can secretly rush off to a vacant telephone to call the Pizza Hut. But when the fifth hour bell rings and doors are shut, students, along with their full stomachs, are ready to settle down and try to nap without the teacher catching them.

Another struggling attempt was made by David McCord who replied, 'After a while I realized that I couldn't solve the Rubik's cube, so I turned to the tool box and grabbed a hammar. I beat that crazy puzzle down to the last square which gave me great satisfaction.' Everyone seemed to have a different opinion, including Justin Clow. 'I think it is pretty mysterious, and I wish I had invented it so I would have all the fame and fortune. One day I will defeat that thing!' quoted Justin. Confidence showed as Patrick Countryman nearly completed his puzzle. When asked how he had solved the mind boggling object, Patrick stated, 'What do you think they wrote the book for?' There are precisely 43, 252, 003, 264, 598, 846, 000 ways to move the Rubiks cube. The only problem is finding the correct solution. PUZZLED.

Stan says, 'Coo- Doo can mean anything you want it to. It's just an action you can do. Some- times it can mean some- thing good or it can mean something bad.' Coo-Doo is even used as a greeting when a friend is passed in the hall. After becoming popu- lar with the basketball boys, the fans quickly caught on and showed SPIRIT.

Other than the cheerleaders, H.W. Way was the leader of the cheering section. Jumping around and wav- ing pom-poms, he lead cheers and his spirit influ- enced everyone else. Although it surprised other schools, Coo-Doo and Pac-Man were the kind of trend that lets ev- eryone get into the ac- tion.

Since she plans to continue her rodeo career through college, it may be worse. 'My favorite event is barrel racing, but I also compete in break-away roping, polebending, goat tying and steer roping.' Lori replied in her survey. Lori has been riding since she was three years old and has been participating in horse shows and rodeos since the second grade. She practices every day in the summer.

Lori, who enjoys band and basketball almost as much as horses, lives in town but keeps her horses at their farm. 'We don't have an arena set up yet, so I do my practicing in the field,' Lori commented. Lori developed her interest in showing horses in the 4-H horse club. Her four-year-old gelding won Reserve Champion. Chad Carey, another freshman 4-H club member is interested in judging horses as well as showing them. RODEO CHAMP.

It wasn't the bigger halls or the confusing schedule of classes. Nor was it the new teachers or the upperclassmen (although they looked intimidating). The main thing on their minds was to get into the swing of things. Shirley Keeton probably got involved faster than anyone. Not only was she elected reporter for the class and Student Council representative for FHA and choir, she was also named correspondant for the Co-Ed magazine, a widely published magazine for teenagers. Shirley commented, 'I really enjoy my offices. They give me a chance to meet people that I otherwise wouldn't have met, at least not as soon!' The freshmen's first big challenge after electing officers, was Homecoming Week. Spending long hours on their float, halls, and windows, they were overjoyed to receive 1st place on their windows. Glancing at the calendar students involved in FHA were planning for the Sweetheart Banquet. 'Color my World' was chosen as the theme. Decorating was not the most important thing on the freshmen girls minds- it was how to approach the guy of their dreams for a date. Busy shining shoes and wearing dresses were the FFA initiates. These socalled 'greenhands' were experiencing the first of many memories. ROUGH RIDER. Deak Harris screams in amazement while rid- ing the Bullet at the Major County Free Fair held in the fall.

It all started when Ms. Wilma Lovejoy asked her class to do a project for National History Day. The four boys got together and created their project known as 'World War II, Instruments of Distruction, Invention and Change.' The four worked for a week during class and then at any spare time that they could find. After two months of researching, taping and interviewing, the group finished its masterpiece. After receiving an 'A', the project went on to the Alva Regionals where it took first place. Then it was on to the capitol for state competition. Once again it took a first place award. Finally, the four boys, sponsors and the project went to Washington D.C. for the Nationals. Even though they did not place, they received an 'Excellent' grading. While they were there they had a chance to visit the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and the Smithsonian. When asked about the trip and project, Mark Wilson said, 'It was a lot of hard work, and I don't think we could have done it without our parents' help.' The group didn't know if they would do it again, but Mark said, 'I'd like to if we convince the rest. It was great and I loved it!'

The majority of the students admire their parents. For instance, Jennifer Morris and Robin Laverty replied, 'We enjoy being loved and taken care of by our parents. Scott Boulware favored everything about his older brother Bill. 'In a way, I want to follow in his footsteps,' he said. When it comes to sisterly love, Barbi Moore stated, 'I really like to run around with Georgean.' 'A leader with a pleasant personality is the way Marci Lunn describes her sister, Monica. All work and no play led to a compliment made to Mrs. Marla Reames. 'I admire my mother because she teaches kids all day and comes home to face my sister and me expressed Cari Reames. Not everyone has a famous relative to brag about, but Trisha Carlisle admires her cousin, Dallas's star Larry Hagman, better known as J. R. Ewing. In the eyes of fifth and sixth graders, their families are stars. SPECIAL TIME.

Pitter-patter of squeaky shoes and high-pitched giggles filled the hallways at ten minute intervals as each class made its way to the lunchroom for their favorite food 'PIZZA!' Then off they go to the playground. Hopscotch, touch-foot- ball, and hide-n-seek are only a few of the many games that occur during the lunch hour. Friendship, highly val- ued at the grade school, is very significant for Beth Denton and Shelley Koehn as they compete on the monkey bars. Groans of disapproval from the children and sighs of relief from the teachers are heard when the lunch recess hour is over. To the grade-school student, lunch and recess are the best times of school.

From hearing the name, one would think of plastic stethoscopes, bandages, and broken arms, but actually Doctor Tangle has nothing to do with waiting rooms or examinations. Sabrina McLain, an avid second grade game player, wrote this story about Doctor Tangle with herself as the main character. 'I go to Brownies, and my leader decided to play Doctor Tangle. I was chosen to be it. Then I hid my face. Then they tangle up and then they shouted, 'Doctor Tangle!' Then I opened my eyes and went to untangle them. I untangled them and it was hard to figure out how they got that way.' This story represents only one game that first and second graders like to play everyday. Yet, old-fashioned games such as girls chase boys still exist. Michelle Meritt said, 'I like to tackle boys and hold them down.' Although the boys don't like the girls to tackle them, they tackle each other while playing football during lunch. No matter what the tradition was, or is, kids are always searching for something different, and with this search comes new games, some silly, some rowdy, creating brand new traditions. No adult can ever understand the amusing world of the games kids play. CHRISTMAS GIFT. Justin Stone- hocker spreads wrapping paper for his parent present. KING OF THE MOUNTAIN.

Because of all the out- door activities living in the country is enjoyable. Country kids Pam Brown, Gena Marlatt, Becky Wil- son and Shane Parker said they ride horses, take long walks without any distur- bances, and have access to fishing holes and hunting grounds. Jeff Carey remarked, 'I like living in the country because it is a lot of fun and there are so many things to do.' There were also quite a few disadvantages. They miss freedoms that the town kids have. Such as being able to participate in sports until they are old enough to drive, and coming into town for games. Having to ride the same old bus every morning and evening was a major complaint. Dena Schafer commented, 'Before I had my car it was a hassle try- ing to get in for games and other extra activities. Those long noisy bus rides really get to you after awhile, also.' Overall, the country kids enjoy living in the country, but those coun- try roads get to be hectic after awhile. Feature: Country Kids 127 H ours; You know those times when you were sitting in the movie theater, complete with popcorn, a cola and your buddies, and in walks your English teacher. Then she chooses the seat right in front of you? Or the times you went out to eat with your friends, thinking you would laugh, talk, and act silly, but you found that the principal and a few of the board members were eating in the very next booth? A sudden uneasiness took over as you began to think that 'those teachers were out to get you.' The attitude of 'teachers are not really people' seemed to prevail among all the students. A pciture of mechanical wonders turning on at 8:20, and turning off at 3:50 seemed to fill everyones mind of what a faculty member is really like. Actually, it was completely opposite. Not only did they eat and see movies, but they shop, farm, dance, and go roller skating. Surprisingly, when the teachers managed to get off for a weekend or for an evening away from the locker lined halls, they were not out to 'get' anyone but to have fun. CHRISTMAS FUN: Mr. Ed Winn, Mrs. Linda Cross, and Mr. Jerry Cross converse at Ms. Lynn Van- derworks faculty party. PICK AND CHOOSE: Ms. Bon- nie Wedel helps her son Jacob choose refreshments at the Na- tional Honor Society installation. ier Mr. Alfred Nelson, who considers square dancing as his favorite pasttime, commented on the subject. 'I look at myself as a teacher in the classroom, but outside the classroom, as a friend.' Skiing in New Mexico heads Mrs. Judy Dobbs list of outside activities, followed closely by water skiing at Canton Lake. Maybe the next time students find themselves in the same room with a teacher after school hours -in a theater or in a resteraunt — they will realize that the teachers actually do have another life.

Faculty 129 All in a Day s 'Work Being a custodian is similar to being a house- wife — but on a much larger scale. There is more to it than sweeping up or fixing air conditioners. August Schroeder, head custodian, explains his job as being a full time one. Not only does he have a full day that starts at 7 a.m.-turning on the heat, putting up the flag, sweeping sidewalks-and ends at about 5 p.m., but also he has extra duties such as setting up the yard markers and P.A. system before all of the football games. It is his responsi- bility to be sure that the scoreboard and lights are working. Since the boiler explo- sion at Star Elementary School in Spencer, killing 6 and injuring 35 others, August is required to give the boiler a good going over at least once a month. The danger of this was emphasized when an Enid janitor was burned in a boiler explosion during March while trying to re- light the pilot light. WELCOMING SPEECH. Dr. Dewayne Colvin welcomes teachers back at a teachers' work day before school started. When asked how busy he is kept, August replied Tm as busy as I care to be. I was at Orienta for 13 years and I've been at Fair- view for 14 years. I just en- joy being around the kids A custodians job, it seems, is never done. Even vacation time is limited. In the summer there is a full schedule of things to do: painting rooms, cleaning carpets, and putting up new equipment and furniture. August farms in his spare time, taking part of his vacation during the fall to plant wheat and during the summer to harvest it. The rest of his farm time is after school hours, and on weekends.

It may have started the very first day when a new principal and new teachers became used to returning teachers and students. It may have helped when the rain ruined the senior skip day but the Bowling Alley turned its facilities over to the class, or when the board-can- celled prom became a reality as a par- ent-sponsored dance. It may not even have been a certain event, but it may have been the rela- tionships that were developed, and the feelings of trust, friendship, and love that came with it. Whatever it was, it succeeded in making the year one worth remember- ing, after a long and sentimental Dou- ble Take. PRESSURE IS ON. Freshman Charlie Owens finds the tight fit becoming tighter inside the Volkswagon beetle at the car cram competition during Sadie Hawkins Day activities. 136 Closing TOO EARLY.

Misty Meier is comforted by her mother Betty Meier, after the district ballgame with Alva. The final score was 34-59. 138 Closing TURNING IN. Becky Ford returns her cheerleading uniforms finishing her third and final year as a high school cheerleader. SLOW PITCH. Pitcher Gregg Miller winds up, goes back, and then lets the ball fly during the Alva baseball game. The final score was 0-13. Suddenly ScJiool Seemed Different As soon as teachers began clearing off their desks and students began clearing out their lockers, it was obvious that the school year was drawing to a close. Classes ended two weeks early for sen- iors in order to prepare for final programs, activities, and commencement. Arch- bearers worked on picking, cutting, and stapling roses for graduation arches while underclassmen suffered through finals and made up snowdays. Some were happy and some were sad to see it go, yet everyone knew that no mat- ter what may happen the year was not actually gone, it had made a wonderful memory, and looking back, it made the Double Take worth while. Closing 139 Another year had come and gone. Once again thousands of notes had been taken for Mrs. Burns' research papers. Hundreds of fans had cried over the last football game and had cheered over a state track championship. People laughed, joked, and told stories dur- ing class parties and while decorating for ban- quets. It all happened at our school and was TVorfli tike Time of a IDomlblc Take 140 Closing
