Flashy white grins and deep brown tans they ex- citedly moved about as gossiping and 'catching up' began. 'I always like to see how everyone has changed during the summer' stated Lori Robinson. But what really mat- tered was not just the run-of-the-mill opening day activities, but the special things that happened. Julie Bartel had to change every single class she had previously enrolled in while Perry Johnson was sent first thing to Mr. Slater's office. Survivors' 'Eye of the Tiger' could be heard in every car, bedroom, and eating place as the football team made it their theme song. 'It was inspiring! We iistened to it before every game! It fired us up!' explained Terrell Barkett. The welcome sign came down as everything got in to the swing of school life but it was not 'the same old thing,' especially after everyone saw A FAIRER VIEW.

It may happen on one of those wild trips to a ballgame. It may happen while dancing on the floor of a crowded living room with the music pounding out a heavy rhythm, or it may happen during an all night slumber party, but somewhere along the line special moments are shared and eternal friendships are created. There is nothing quite like the times when students are oblivious of textbooks and rulers, and instead are concentrating on clothes and good times. It is life, student life, and with a FAIRER VIEW, smiles are constant and laughs are forever. YOUR TURN TO SERVE: When it comes time to trade off for serv- ing tea at the annual FFA slave sale held in the Fair Building, Brian Ar- cher, Shane Parker. Dennis Price, and Mark Fast can't seem to decide ROUTINE WORRIES: After the kickoff of the first home football game. Kim Koehn, Cindy Abel, and Ann lanzen find themselves feel- ing different emotions about the game itself, and their upcoming routine for the flag corps Student Life Division 7 Away From It All Summer vacation is the chance for many students to earn some extra money. At least ten were employed by TC Y and even more by the SPORT program. Others found jobs at local businesses or with harvest crews. Tracy Wallace traveled all the way to Montana to custom cut wheat. A few were oil field roustabouts. Of course, most students spent at least a week of their three-month vacation somewhere other than Fairview. Enjoying the sun and surf, the Methodist Youth Fellowship went on a five day retreat to Padre Island, Texas. Seeing the sights of Kansas City were the Mennonite Brethren Youth. They also took this chance to see a professional baseball game at the Royal's Stadium. Baptist youth at- tended Falls Creek church camp; their boys' volleyball team qualified for the finals. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Nelson, Cheryl Cunningham, Kathy Carroll, David Nickel, Suanne Wymer, Michelle Freed, Mike Marlatt, Chris Stecklein and his mother toured Europe under the Cultural Heritage Alliance. While Terrell Barkett, Brian Box, Troy Bowers and Brent Boulware were at Boys' State learning about our government, Michelle Freed and Suanne Wymer participated in Girls' State activities in Ada. Michelle en- joyed it immensely but saw no males for an entire week. She commented, It got so bad, we even whistled at the janitor.'' Summer also included Steven Spielberg's double movie premiers; E.T. the Extra Terrestrial and Poltergiest; Sunday afternoons at Canton Lake; the birth of Prince Charles and Princess Diana's first child. Prince William; and the death of the superb actor, Henry Fonda. It would take a psychologist to figure out why Katresa Iordan would enroll in summer drivers education since she couldn't get her license un- til over a year later. IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN.

When the new yearbooks came in, everyone lined up in the corridor to sign books, read copy, and reminisce a little on the past year Back in the Swing Citizens and students filled the stands, anxious to see what lay in store for the football team at the Chisholm game Acquiring by marriage the respon- sibility of two more children and a wife, Mr. )ohn Sellars added an extra room onto his home. Peeking behind the closed stage cur- tain at the Fair Queen contest, any per- son would be shocked to see girls squatting down in long formals with roses in their mouths, dancing, or talking loudly. Then, they were suddenly transformed into young ladies and walked gracefully across the stage. Last year's Fair Queen Suanne Wymer ap- proached Michelle Freed with her new- ly earned crown. When asked how Suanne felt about giving up her title, she said, 'I was joking with Michelle as I put the crown on her head. I wasn't sad, because I was happy for her.' Kim Koehn, Michelle Freed, Bettina Hale, Cindy Abel, and Suanne Wymer decided to liven up their evening at Enid. They dressed 'Punk.'' After seeing the movie Pink Floyd; The Wall the girls went to McDonalds. ’Walking into McDonalds was embarrassing, but standing in line at the movie was worse,' said Bettina Hale. Cindy, speak- ing with a British accent, received aid from another 'Punk Rocker' counting out money, for her meal. The surprise on people’s faces was overwhelming. The middle of September arrived without any news of the Yearbooks. Students were worried; the yearbook staff was even more concerned. When the news leaked into the halls that the yearbooks had finally arrived, students commented, 'Well, it's about time.' But, too late for OIPA judging,' moaned Mrs. jimmie Lou Ward. Pari-mutual betting passed in Oklahoma but was left as county option (the issue failed in Major County by a large majority). A member of Royalty, Princess Grace, died in a car accident at the age of 52. 'It was a shame. She lived among royalty but never lost her com- mon touch,' lamented Mrs. Nancy Winn. Deaths by cyanide-poisoned Ex- tra Strength Tylenol Capsules led to an outburst of over-the-counter drug poisonings. Two amusing moments will always stand out. One was during Mr. lohn Sellars’ fourth hour chemistry class who witnesses Duane Frerichs eating rose petals. The other happened to four FHA girls who were picking up Mary Beth Lawler for the surprise breakfast, and were received by Mrs. Lawler singing 'Good Morning to you.' 'I didn't know what to think I was shocked,' com- mented Kris Schroeder. October 11 DEVILS FOR SALE.

The wind whistled through the wooden stands as all eyes turned toward the sky. A tornado, spot- ted south of the ball field, sent everyone running to their cars for shelter. 'Not a thing was dry! I had to go home and take a ton of antibiotics.- said Cheryl Cunningham who had driven her jeep into town with the top down that day. At the school juniors were busily sorting their mums to be delivered when the tornado whistle pierced the air. Students were rushed into the gym locker rooms. Mary Claborn made a quick trip home to close all the win- dows that had been left open. I just didn't want to have to clean up the mess,' explained Mary. Only minutes later the rain stopped and the sun was shining. Mum deliveries were resumed without delay, except for Kaylene Young and Jeanna Loftus who sat at the Mini Mart while they waited for the gas pumps to be turned on. 'What else could we do?' said jean- na. 'We were out of gas!' The sun was still shining as the annual parade festivities began with colorful floats modeled after the theme of 'Oklahoma's 75th.' Perhaps the highlight of the afternoon was the pep assembly held before school was let out for the day. All of the students were in class when loud yells and cheers echoed through the halls. Mothers dressed in orange and black began pulling pupils out of their seats, forming a chain of excited fans. They then led everyone into the gymnasium where cheers that were popular in the 50's were presented. The high school cheerleaders took over the pep assembly and with the pep band playing the school song, another day of Homecoming festivities was history. Run for Cover LOTS Of HOT AIR. Pep Club members Lesa McCollum and Molly Edwards carefully sort out the personalized balloons to be given to the football players before the evening's big game MY LOCKER LOOKS BETTER THAN YOURS! Susan Helton works on mak- ing her secret fan's locker look the best for the locker decorating competition Homecoming 13 Night to Remember There is one night in the entire year that everyone loves. It has everything to do with lights, a shiny crown, flowers, dates, crowds, and football. The special night is fittingly entitled Homecoming. While the band played 'Looking Through the Eyes of Love’ the Queen candidates were driven onto the field to officially start the evening. Sophomore Kris Schroeder, lunior Judy Unruh and Senior Ann lanzen on the back of a cherry red convertible while team cap- tains Terrell Barkett, Tim Tucker, and kissing captain Casey Reed met them in an orange jeep by Chris England. After proper introductions, the suspensful moment arrived and Ann lanzen was crowned Queen. 'I was sur- prised! I think it was one of the most KISS AND TELL. Ready to crown the queen, cap- tains Terrell Barkett, Casey Reed. Tim Tucker, and Chris England enter onto the field MOUNDS OF MUMS, luniors Mary Claborn and Tammy Boulware attempt to sort out the countless homecoming mums TRUCK FULL OF FANS. Booster Club members, with help from students, filled the back of a truck, and enthusiastically yelled in the parade special moments of my life’ commented Ann Finally the game was under way. The crowd witnessed a bout of sweat, yells, good plays, and hard runs When half time came around the jackets were leading by one point 'We were really psyched out for the game, knowing that Cordell was ranked number one in the state. We're glad we played them in- stead of some rinky dink team,' re- marked Perry lohnson. Nevertheless, the game ended 13-21, a victory for Cordell. Casey Reed sum- med the whole battle up when he said, The saddest part is knowing we went to districts and to the state playoffs but we never have helped win a Home- coming.' 14 Homecoming LOOK OUT FOR THE TWISTER!

Queen candidates Ann Janzen, Judy Unruh, and Kris Schroeder enjoy a ride down Main Street for the homecoming parade Homecoming 15 Change Makes Little Difference When the bright green leaves began withering and anxious students began wearing their new thick sweaters, it was apparent fall had once again returned. Around town it was obvious that the leaves were not the only thing changing. One change in particular was rather upsetting to the small community. A new stop light was installed at the cor- ner of State Road and Main making it the second stop light on main; and, for that matter in Major County. The first two weeks of its use were probably the most hazardous. Drivers not aware of the change drove through the red light. 'If I timed it just right, I could drag main without ever having to stop at either light, said Sabra Could. After everyone finally got used to the light, it proceeded to malfunction for the rest of the school year. The entire student body reached a new peak with exhilerating spirit as they saw the football team win the District Championship and enter the State playoffs. 'The student body supported us so strongly that it seemed like everyone was involved in the game before it was played, commented lohn Harris. Professional football fans, however, found themselves bored on Sunday afternoons due to the strike. On a cold, rainy Saturday the march- ing band endured the miserable weather to take the Tulsa State Fair Sweepstakes. I wish I could've been there to hear them announce our name. I didn't get there in time,' said Angela Cornelson. 'I guess knowing we won is enough FHA initiates, dressed in wild costumes, chanted creeds while running up and down the corridor. The first report cards were faced while Mrs. Geraldine Burns traveled to Washington D.C. for a National Teachers' Convention.

David Nickel works on his metric 500 car that the wood- working dass has each year in the In- dustrial Arts Building 18 November Looking into the feelings of students, one could see the mixed emotions that filled these months. Seniors could not grasp the fact that the year was passing so quickly. 'I started crying when we won the district football game, not only because we won, but also because it was the last district game that I would be a part of,' commented Tammi lensen. Determination opened a new door as the competitive speech class won five individual trophies at the Okeene speech contest. Anticipation was on the faces of students who filled the gym to witness the first basketball games competing against Hennessey. Gathering again in the gym, students came not to see a basketball game but to be entertained, lohn Gerber, dressed western, entertained the students with his guitar and voice. A Christmas dance was held by Kathy and Bobby Carroll at the fair building The room was enhanced by streamers, colored lights, and even a decorated cedar tree. While students danced, STUCO members chowed down on plenty of food at Miss Lynn Vander- work's home Students then studied, and studied some more, preparing themselves for the dreaded semester tests. Sad news accompanied the second day of tests that jack Webb of Dragnet, died. Not everyone was able to have a wonderful lime over the holiday vaca- tion. December 31st at 10:00 am De- wayne Moneypenny was admitted to the Fairview Hospital to have an appen- dix removed. To his terror, the first thing he heard when he woke up was the rumor of a bomb threat. However, it was only a prank. Anxiety, success, disappointment, and anticipation were only a few of the emotions felt and exhibited by these teenagers. Emo- tional Mixup PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. Kathy Ransford.

Dennis Price usually isn't found in women's clothes, but he had to make an exception for the FFA slave sale which was held in the Fair Building December 19 Don’t Bother Me ... I’m on Vacation! Spring break arrived March seventh and students began fulfilling plans made two months, even six months, in advance. The MVF enjoyed skiing at Red River, New Mexico, after a close call on the way there. Going up a steep curve their bus slowed so much that it began to slide backwards into a ditch. Those aboard froze in their seats, whispering silent prayers. 'I had waited all year for this vacation and I thought that I was not going to get to live long enough to enjoy it,' said Vicki Simmons. It was hard to believe but it was true; their bus broke down on the way back leaving them stranded in Guymon for nearly eight hours. The Baptist group, however, skied safely in Sante Fe, New Mexico. Closer to home Mike Cross, Gregg Miller, and Kevin Hougland gathered in Eddie Winn's living room around the TV to watch the Benny Hill show every night of spring break. Mexico and Texas seemed to be the hot spots to visit. Taking tans to the limit Cindy Abel and Bettina Hale visited Cancun, Mexico while Kim Koehn vacationed at Padre Island. Cheryl Cunningham and Tim Tucker found pre-recorded tapes to be only $3.50 in Mexico. Thursday evening was the busiest night on Main as spring break was coming to a close. Living up the evenings, three eighteen-wheelers could be seen dragging Main along with high school stduents. When classes resumed Mon- day, March 14th, teachers could be heard quieting students with words, You can tell her later. To a teacher vacation is Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and spring break. However, to a student a vacation was anything that he got out of class for. This included pep assemblies, teachers' meetings, and perhaps even an illness. It was not necessary to go anyplace to enjoy a vacation; breaking the classroom monotony was enough, just knowing that I can watch 'Young and the Restless' instead of reading another chapter of Julius Caesar made me happy.' said Kim Cravens.

Denise Gray thinks her rabbit coat is better than a winter parka 22 January Premier of an Action Filled Year It was only a news flash, but that flash scared quite a few Americans. A Russian spy satellite containing radioactive material was going to fall from orbit, and probably land in the United States. After a week of descent, the satellite dropped in the Indian Ocean. While the news flash simmered down, Tim Tucker's and Perry Johnson's tongues fired up when they ate genuine hot peppers from Mexico furnished by lerry Willars. They doused the fire with mouthful after mouthful of water. Students were thrilled with the first snow fall, and teachers were nervous when the North Central Evaluation team came to observe the entire school system for the first time. The nation saddened with the deaths of Bear Bryant and Karen Carpenter and were intrigued with the day by day progress of artificial heart recipient Barney Clark, who gave the medical world masses of new information concerning the human body and its reaction to a man-made heart. New Years Eve brought excitement as a bomb threat was called in to the local police at 12:00 a m. The caller told police he had placed a bomb in the fellowship home but the call only succeeded in waking many residents for no reason. Tears were wept while witnessing the final episode of the much loved M A S H series on February 28. 'I love that show! I cried and cried, but at least I'll be able to see reruns.' stated Katresa Iordan. February 23 AFTER THE FEAST. Chris Stecklein and Mike Pem- brook pick up their |r Sr banquet mementos ROLE MODEL.

When the word 'epidemic’ is heard, usually disease is the first thing thought of. There was indeed an epidemic of illness that swept the school, but so were there epidemics of anxiety, strange weather, spirit, and hard work. Most people think that chicken pox is only a childhood disease, but several students and teachers proved this theory wrong when in the middle of March many cases of the virus were reported. After the illness became history, English IV students were scurrying around with overflowing folders, finishing final drafts of research papers. The speech team, coached by Mrs. Nancy Winn, took four members to the state tournament in Edmond 'It was like Christmas!’ exclaimed Nancy You wait all year for it and you are never disappointed.’ The FFA members had to wash their sheep during the local livestock show in pouring rain, while a late March track meet was canceled due to snow juniors spent endless nights rehears- ing, painting props, and cutting up while preparing for their very memorable play, 'The Perils of Lulu ’ 'It was so much fun to put on! It was very hard to be serious during practice because the lines were so off-the-wall!’ commented Kevin Hougland. GIVE HER A LITTLE SPIN.

Susan Byfield accepts red roses and the title of Miss Fairview from Suanne Wymer. 26 Queens 'And the new Miss Fairview is . . The scene is one of the many pageants when a new queen is crowned, but what goes on when the curtain is closed, and what happens in the crowded dressing room is an entire- ly different story. 'When you'd walk into the dressing room you could just feel the high strung tension bouncing off the walls!' reflected Susan Byfield after winning the title of Miss Fairview. The comradery was another impor- tant factor that existed. During the Ma- jor County Fair Queen contest, the con- testants are from all over the county; therefore, new friendships were con- stantly being formed. After the queens were announced, and after the make-up and wardrobes were taken home, several feelings re- mained. Feelings of relief, disappoint- ment, and satisfaction. 'Suanne Wymer, former Miss Fair- view and second runner-up in Miss Cinderella, summed it up by adding, 'Not everyone can win the title itself, but everyone comes out a winner in one way or another.' Behind Closed Curtains ALL SMILES.

Great food and good laughs were only part of the fun for Todd Eitzen at the senior breakfast held at the Libby's Hi-Way Cafe 28 May Final Countdown If there is one thing that everyone looks forward to, teachers and students alike, it's the last month of school. Everything seems to reach a peak and dwindle down, all at the same time. Seniors became bogged down with last minute preparations before countless ban- quets and rehearsals. Juniors led the pack in crew cuts while Sophomores had their own party at the Cheyenne Valley gym. Chemistry classes began their chemical review on why ice melts, (which is their technical phrase for making butterfinger ice cream.) The annual parents' appreciation dinner given by the seniors proved to be an in- teresting evening. Several seniors were blindfolded, led to a line of mothers, and were asked to identify their mother by feeling her hands. Some found their mothers right away but Craig Yarbrough couldn't seem to find his anywhere. Somebody else has my Mom! I know that, because I'd recognize my own mothers hands anywhere! reflected Craig. Famous Oklahoma weather even had a part in class night festivities. While Anita Katzung and Ann lanzen were busy reading the class history, Mr. Van Meter strolled to the stage and announced that a tornado had been spotted southwest of town. No one panicked, however, and the show carried on as planned. The peak of excitement and enthusiasm was there when it was time to decorate for banquets, rehearse speeches, and check out caps and gowns, but the finality of graduation and semester tests was still felt. 'T think the best part of May is that everyone gets so excited for every little thing that happens. But then it's suddenly all over!” commented Rodney Copenhaver. The best parts of anything have to end sometime, but the memories will live forever. PROUD ATHLETES.

New business expansions have caused the town to grow up and out. An extra cent of tax had to be passed in order to cover expenses of the hospital addition. The Fellowship home added a new wing. New shops began fitting into the empty places left by businesses that had moved. Respectfully Yours, a gift shop replaces a Hole in the Wall, donut shop. Under new management, the Pizza Hut's business increased and a new and larger 'Hut' was needed. Therefore, another was constructed about 100 ft. from the old one. The larger parking lot was not only well used by the customers but by high school students as well. After remodeling both inside and outside. Reflections, an old- fashioned deli, moved into the old Pizza Hut building giving it a whole new atmosphere On Main Street it seemed to be a 'Chinese drill.' Coast to Coast moved to the old TG Y building. Denton's and Artistic Printing merged to form the Business Center which moved into the old Coast to Coast building. Mike's Sport Shop opened at the previous Denton's store. Helton's MUNCH AND CHOW. Chamber of Commerce member lane and Bob Eitzen take advantage of the food available at the faculty picnic held in the city park before the start of school Refrigeration and Repair replaced Artistic Printing. The arcade moved out and the Montgomery Wards moved in. Kyle's filled a vacancy in between the Button hole and Z.B.'s Western Wear. The Paint and Gift shop opened across from the library. Amid all the moving, the com- munity still found time to par- ticipate in the annual events. 'Ooos and Ahhs' could be heard from the football stands when the Fourth of July fireworks display was sponsored by the communi- ty. Although hard to believe, thousands were spent on fireworks. The weekend of the Wrangler Rodeo, Fairview could have been awarded the best western dressed town in Major County. The parade, tricycle races, goldfish noodleing, turtle races and sidewalk sale were the highlights of the last day of the rodeo. Dena Shaffer was first run- nerup in the competition for Rodeo Queen. Businesses showed their con- cern by placing a donation canister out. Proceeds from a turkey raffle by the city police went towards surgery expenses for Justin Burrell, Ivan Burrell's son. Parimutual Betting came to the polls in September. ommunity 31 UNCONCERNED JUNIORS. Rod Helton and Michelle Card discuss their plans for later in the evening as the graduates get into place FAREWELL MV FRIENDS. Cheryl Cunningham gives her valedictorian speech to her fellow classmates during commencement One Stage, One Change The high school gymnasium is a silver domed structure lined on the outside with yellow bricks and lined on the in- side with wooden bleachers. At one end is a stage with bright orange curtains. This building is used for games, assemblies, and practices, but when the end of the school year is near it is used for something more traditional .. . Graduation. On the big day, the locker rooms are awakened by drowsy juniors who are in charge of the symbolic rose arches. Starting as early as 3:00 am in the morn- ing, the roses are cut, sprayed, and stapled to the metal frames. In midmorning, after the Seniors have returned from their Senior breakfast, the class pictures and the rehearsals are completed. Last minute straightening of chairs is done, and all is quiet until the actual event in the evening. The final scene is one of grandeur, solemnity, and formality. The bleachers are filled with family and friends. The stage is covered with flowers, a podium, and administration as the pianists Pat Countryman and Katresa Iordan strike up 'Pomp and Cir- cumstance.’ The archbearers take their places. Rod Helton and lanie Edwards, class marshalls, lead the class of 1983 down the aisles. 'I waited all my life for the night to graduate, and once it finally got here I just couldn't believe it was really hap- pening!' remarked Bettina Hale. 'Yeah added Anita Katzung, 'I kept wanting to slow it all down to make it last a little longer!' Once the ceremony is over, scat- tered programs, withering flowers, and crooked rows of chairs are all that's left. The gym is once again just that ... a building for all seasons. 32 Graduation NOTES OF SUCCESS.

That is, the part made up of actual learning, participating in pro- jects, and the fun involved. On an ordinary day, students sat in neat rows with books open and listened to lectures. On a not-so-ordinary day, costumes were used for Julius Caesar or Canterbury Tales, and smelly experiments with surprising results took place. Comments of 'What am I doing?' and 'I think I flunked!' were heard in every classroom. Math equations and compound sentences were studied, and stitch after stitch was sewn.

Three solitary people made up the competitive speech class. Those three leaders attended every contest, but the number of participants varied as did the competition. Mrs. Geraldine Burns helped Mrs. Winn recruit students. I felt like Uncle Sam saying, I want you!” said Mrs. Winn. A new aspect opened for competitive speech when Michelle Freed, Casey Reed, and Terrell Barkett entered debate. To prepare for contests, I debated with my mother and father, admitted Terrell. Competitive speech, debate, speech communica- tions, creative writing, and drama all helped to round out the Language Arts Department. I strongly en- courage all college bound students to take a course in public speaking, said Mrs. Burns. Those who enrolled in these classes found that it was time well spent. Writing speeches which ranged in difficulty from the speech of introduction, analysis of a public address, and the speech to entertain helped the students gain confidence and experience. Creative minds poured their creativity onto paper in Mrs. Geraldine Burn's creative writing class. The most inspirational writing was done when writing feelings or descriptions associated with a particular object. We did things like describe an ice cube as it melted in our hand, said Patrick Countryman. With these extended classes, students are able to express themselves and to further develop their talents.

Freshmen became engrossed in the famous Shakespeare love story, Romeo and luliet while Sophomores experienced countless laughs video tap- ing scenes from lulius Caesar. Seniors sweated over Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and then acted them out. 'Chaucer's characters are so much like people today that they could easily star in a modern day soap opera,' said Larry Dick. But what did the luniors do? ‘We did grammar, grammar, and more grammar,' stated Scott Neufeld. 'Aren't you ever going to run out of worksheets, Mrs. Win?' asked Patrick Countyman RECRUITS?

What is that awful smell? It smells like burnt rubber! Is the Chemistry class testing chemicals? No. It's Freshmen! They're cooking in Home Ec. Even though Freshmen suffered through endless teasing and pestering, the outcome of their cooking mistakes paid off. We got pretty good. Maybe we are all future chefs, stated Sherry Neufeld. Cuisine is only one of the many things taught, and sometimes learned, in Home Ec class. Pam Houk, serv- ing her first year as teacher and FHA advisor, spent days upon days watching Freshmen cook and sew, while Sophomores cared for children, and luniors and Seniors planned their future homes. There were definitely those days when something amusing or unusual happened. One of those days took place when Mrs. Houk was away from the Freshman class and the only substitute available was Mr. Alfred Nelson, Natural Science teacher. He filled the position very well as he confidently strode around the room with countless tape measures draped around his neck. He even kept his cool composure when Melody Smith shrieked, Oh no! I have three strings coming out of my bobbin case! While extra strings were cut in Home Ec, Vo-Ag but- chered hogs, wrote speeches, and worked countless hours on animals. It was all the right ingredients for in- teresting and worthwhile classes.

Answering the question What does that scribble mean? gave them a sense of accomplish- ment The thing to remember is to never let Mr Bill Hasty confiscate a shorthand note. He would take it to Mrs. Ward and ask her to transcribe it, said Molly Edwards. Accounting I students soon learned that a certain pattern was to be followed before anything could balance. Those who attempted to equal the debits and credits before posting soon realized their mistake as they spent an extra 30 minutes returning to the drawing board.” Awarded the Edith Bunker award (for the dumbest questions asked), Michelle Freed was more embar- rassed than flattered.

Anita Katzung and Daphne Evans type in a computer program during Computer Science class Rotifers, Alkynes, and Polynomials Every year freshmen are introduced into the world of math and science. Mr. )im Slater gives words of wit and wisdom to accompany his lessons and Mr. Alfred Nelson asks them to define natural science. Most are, to say the least, very confused those first few days. But as they slowly learn new terms and ideas, they begin to feel capable of handling the strange equa- tions and vocabulary. Physical science students worked problems to solve for horsepower. 'I eliminated all the paperwork by writing a computer program to figure it out for me,' said Mark Wilson. Then, when they think they have figured out what polynomials and horsepower equations are, the bot- tom drops out. Freshmen become Sophomores and they progress to even more difficult classes. In biology students studied amoebas and rotifers through microscopes under the watchful eye of Mr. )ohn Sellars. At one time strange types of bacteria could be found multiplying in petri-dishes. All geometry, Algebra II, and chemistry students were busy learning equations to baffle their friends. Til bet you don't know what the Pythagorean thereom is,' or ‘can you tell the difference between an alkene, alkane, or alkyne?' were asked. Only those who understood the language” had answers to those questions. Computer science students could talk BASIC — the computer langauge — for hours and no one except fellow computer wizards could understand a word they uttered. Philip Woods was often heard mumbling undistinguishable phrases while popping buttons and scratching his head. He inevitably solved the problem at hand. While the GOTOs and FOR-NEXT statements may have been confusing at first, most enjoyed the new class. I sure wish that I would have learned to type better, and I could have finished my programs sooner,' are words of wisdom from Troy Bowers. Students taking math and science classes know how difficult they were, but most gain a sense of ac- complishment after the school year. Science 45 TESTING WITH MAZES. Vicki Simmons writes down observations as Rodney Copenhaver finds his way through a finger maze in psychology MESSAGES IN THE WIND. Angela Cornelson. Tonya Edsel, and Melody Smith watch as their message-filled balloons float into the sky Which Way Do I Go? WHICH WAY DO I GO? It was late August, 1982, and the students wondered what the subject and new teacher would be like. Both proved to be very interesting. Psychology is the study of human and animal behavior, right? Then why were the students playing with finger mazes? 'We were to build our own mazes and test our classmates,' said Terri Archer. Creative mazes were constructed from straws, glass beads, boxes, and other available materials. T cut mine from pizza dough, baked it, and glazed it with glue, said Rodney Copenhaver. Occasionally someone became hopelessly lost, but David Sauls was always there to laugh at them or whisper directions. Sociology was equally educational and fun. Mini dramas were used to study people's reactions in social situations. An additional project was to report on various careers. 'Although the class was tough at times, I think all of us would take it again in a minute The class was unique because of its informality,' commented Vicki Simmons. Tim Tucker reclined in his 'easy chair, Rodney Copenhauer and Eric jones cracked dumb jokes, Kris Schroeder, Terri Archer, and Vicki Simmons talked constantly while Mike Pembrook picked fights, and Mr. Blevins acted like a crazy teenager. Kris ex- plained, 'It was one of those rare classes where you learned while having a great time!' Balloons and cakes appeared in Mrs. Bonnie Camp- bell's Oklahoma history classroom during the fall in celebration of Oklahoma’s Diamond jubilee. On Statehood Day the freshman students released the message-filled balloons from the tennis courts into a stiff, southern Oklahoma breeze with hopes of hear- ing from someone who found the messages 46 History Psychology HAVING HIS CAKE. |ohn Gosney serves the cake brought to the Oklahoma history class in honor of the Diamond Jubilee LOST AND BLIND.

Sociology 47 Signs of Identification After only two years of organization, AIASA students have participated in two national and one state conference and have an elected state officer, Troy Bowers. State Conference was held April 5th and 6th in Oklahoma City. Troy Bowers, Brian Box, Mike Marlatt, Jeff Reeder, Mark Wilson, Tim Gerst, David Nickel, Kevin Hougland, and Alan Box participated. A shocked expression was seen on Jeff Reeder's face when it was announced that he had won public speaking. David Nickel, Brian Box, and Troy Bowers made up the Na- tional Champion Individual Bowl Team and brought home honors. While they were winning positions and awards, the Art students were painting faces. Not necessarily on their own faces, but on everyone else's at the Fine Arts Festival. They also enjoyed oil painting, stenciling, and mak- ing dummies out of hose and stuffing. ’It's not near as easy as it looks,' explained Nancy Platt. 'Once you get the hang of it though, it's not too bad.' The Industrial Arts class spent their time on different matters, such as drafting, making clocks, and ex- perimenting. After many mistakes, some students learned to make excellent personalized name signs of beautiful wood. They then began taking orders and making the product for the community. The arts, whether made up of winning, stuffed dummies, or wooden plates, served as a necessary outlet of creativity for many students. |im Hobbs summed it all up by saying, 'Without any kind of beautiful art in this world, we'd all go crazy!'

Lisa Vasquez chose truck driving while |on Eisenhauer chose pro basketball. The students re- searched pay, schooling, and benefits of various jobs. On the other side of the building, life and death decisions were being made. Thanks to the driver's education teacher, Mr. Richard Beck, they were all ones of life. Jeff Cain made a wise decision when he waited for the school bus to pass before he pulled out into the lane of traffic. Even the students in P.E. and government had deci- sions to make. No matter how hard they thought, some of those much needed answers for the judicial branch just wouldn't come. Who would think that making a serve in physical education class would encompass the whole thinking process as well as the muscles Decisions, decisions, and more decisions con- fronted all students who enrolled in any class.

Those students never had the experience of a three hour class such as auto mechanics, diesel mechanics, business and nursing 'It's a learning experience,' commented Vickie Kincheloe, as she did volunteer work at the hospital. ’Graduation is getting close and too many things are undecided With the training I have from my nursing class I feel more sure about going out on my own. Computers have taken over in most of the classes, some more than others. 'Why not keep up with what is happening,’ said Kathy Carroll who enrolled in the business class. 'It helped me get my job at Waldon's.' Getting restless was cleverly avoided by the instruc- tors. Mechanics students rebuilt engines and worked on cars. 'They’re the cheapest garage in town,' laughed Chris Stecklein, 'They only charge for parts!' Cars were volunteered to work on, no special specification had to be met. 'I do pretty much what I want,' said Paula Kliewer, one of the few girls enrolled in mechanics class. 'Sometimes they forget I'm in class, but I always manage to find something to do.' All tension was released at the annual hamburger and hot dog roast.

The wind had little effect on the new hair styles of track team members, lustin Clow. Duane Frerichs. and Stan Shewey The fad was brought about when the boys believed they could gain better time in the running events To Each His Own Webster defines style as a 'distinctive or characteristic manner.' There were definitely countless 'distinctive' things happening from August to May, and, of course, characteristic looks and wants were constant; therefore, it is safe to assume that it was an extremely 'stylish' year. Clothing took on a new twist. It was O.K. to wear whatever was comfortable and whatever fit a certain personality. The 'preppy' or 'ivy league' style was fine, but so was the 'semi-punk' look, lean jackets covered with pins could be seen next to a spotless cardigan sweater. Leather riding boots tromped the halls right along with penny loafers and Nike tennis shoes. OP t- shirts kept upper bodies covered just like Polos or sleeveless Fruit of the Looms did. Bandannas slipped down from the head and were twisted around the neck. Hair wasn't really a main factor until Charlie Owens, lustin Clow, Stan Shewey, Duane Frerichs, and Mike Castleberry led the pack in getting crew cuts. Television even had a part in 'Style.' A new craze of 'miniseries' began. First it was Winds of War' then the highest ranking 'Thornbirds' followed by the not so well received 'Blood Feud. Mrs. Bonnie Vchulek enjoyed Thornbirds' and commented that 'it was comparable to 'Cone With the Wind' in its novelistic characteristics.' 54 Feature - Styles CURLY TO STRAIGHT.

To have a sense of belonging became necessary. If I didn't keep busy with more and more activities, I'd go crazy! exclaimed Kim Rowe. There were numerous organizations to choose from. The newly formed AIASA won first in the nation, while band swept the Houston competition. FHA went to Oklahoma City for their convention while FFA members gave speeches, speeches, and more speeches. Underneath all the obvious hustle and bus- tle of belonging to various groups were long lasting friendships, genuine hard work, and tons of fervor that was apparent after a FAIRER VIEW.

Reaching for that goal took Students through miserable weather and nerve-racking situations. Preparing for the district field marching contest, band members practiced the evening before after a Junior Varsity foot- ball game. Much to their dismay, they had to march completely through the whole show a second time. Their efforts were rewarded by receiving a superior rating at the Alva contest. Jazz band rehearsals began later than hoped January fifth, selected players met in the band room to sight-read some new music and play familiar numbers. Par- ticipating in the state competition, the Jazz Band received straight IPs. T felt that we did pretty good considering the amount of practice we had,' said Belinda Farrand. Icy roads almost kept students from auditioning for the Northwest Honor Band. Going no faster than 45 mph, the bus went onward through the small snow flakes and blowing wind. 'I drove all the way from Woodward and because of the bad weather, I was afraid I would miss my audi- tion.' commented Tammy McDonald. As drum major, Patrick Countryman blew his whistle and the flag girls stepped off the curb at the Tulsa State Fair parade, it began to sprinkle. Half way down the street the clouds released the rain. The band continued to march as the rain con- tinued to pour. Those who marched on the outside rows sloshed through ankle deep water while the flag corps girls tried to keep their distance from the 'Dancing Darling.' 'I didn't know what to do. Several times we came close to marching over them,' said group leader Cindy Able.

Band 63 The Band Played On 4:30 AM April 13th, sleepy-eyed band members loaded luggage, instruments, and themselves onto the awaiting buses - two of which were chartered. At 5:15 AM they were on their way to the state con- cert contest held at Oklahoma University in Norman Arriving with only minutes to spare, they marched single file to an old classroom Elbow to elbow they began their warm-up in the airless room. After adding chairs and music stands, the band was seated to per- form for several interested competitors and three critical judges. The band received two ll's and a I for their concert performance and three I's in sightreading, It was a shame, but we were rated low because we were the second band to play that morning, com- mented Mr. jerry Cross. We received twos but no major criticisms were men- tioned on the critique sheets, added Mike Marlatt. Disappointed band members re-loaded buses and were on their way to Houston, Texas. Most began munching their sack lunches, only to find it was 9:30 AM. Arriving at the Shamrock Hilton in Houston, the band members were checked into their rooms by 7:30 PM. Most of the seniors and half of the juniors were stuck in what was nick-named the north forty. The others were in the elegant rooms of the main building. The big day arrived at 5:30 AM when members tumbled out of bed to be at the Houston University for the contest by 8:30 AM. Following the best junior high band in Texas, the band stepped onto the stage. It seemed to be a dream as Mr. C. W. Sim- mons stepped onto the dias and raised his hands. The first note was together and perfectly in tune. The music swelled and moved with emotion. When it was over Mr. Simmons stepped down with tears in his eyes as band members glanced at each other as to say, ‘We did our best.' The rest of their day was spent at Stewart Beach and later, Astroworld. 7:45 the following evening, band members regrouped in the front rows of Astroworld's auditorium for the awards assembly.

Mr. Alig gave us suggestions as he accompanied us on the piano,’ remarked David Sauls. As the show was to be ready for Christmas, Mr. Alig held several practices after school to include the competitive speech participants. The spirits of students rose when the final day of classes before Christmas break arrived. Together the Competitive Speech department, and the choir presented 'Comedy Tonight,’ a variety show filled with musical selections from different Broadway hits. Tim Stone, emceeing the show wearing a black tuxedo and ruffled shirt, introduced the various numbers. Students listened and watched as Annie’ was reprimanded, the sailor boys swabbed the deck, and a teenager of the fifties wrote 'Freddy,' her love. ‘The Christmas show was my favorite chorus activity of the whole year.'

I never had to worry about lunch on game days because my secret fan kept me well supplied with junk food, said Justin Clow. Pride showed through when the pep bus to out-of-town games was filled. When passing through their opposition's town they would put down all the win- dows and scream cheers at the top of their lungs. The Chisholm football game was especially overwhelming because Fair- view's attendance was greater than Chisholm's. The stands were so full that some fans had to stand or sit on the walkway in front. Posters, hankerchiefs, spirit ribbons, Love The jackets bumper stickers, T- shirts, cheering section, pep rallies, all played an important part in building spirit. A simple idea to build spirit became a super organization that made the year special. 68 Pep Club ON TOP OF THINGS.

Twila Daugherty and Ceorgean Moore introduced the program over CPR. The members who participated ranked gold emblem on the safety program as the number one chapter in the state and bronze in the nation. Twenty-one shows were attended from the National Western in Denver, Colorado to the National Junior Shorthorn Show in Springfield, Missouri. Many members were seen mumbling to themselves as they traveled from the high school to building. Every student was re- quired to attend six public speaking contests. All officers and freshmen had the oppor- tunity to attend leadership summer camps. Apparently many took advantage of this because the chapter ranked gold in the state as the ninth best overall and ranked silver in the nation. This chapter had four state farmers who were Twila Daugherty, Danny Kliewer, Mike Pembrook, and Todd Nightengale. They also had two American farmers and three members on the Na- tional Jr Shorthorn Board. Dusty Hoffman, Jeff Reeder, and Larry Klukner are just a few of the active freshmen who participated in the land judging, livestock teams, parliamentary teams, and shop teams. Two students placed in the state contest. From the first assembly presentation to the spring banquet and crowning of the FFA sweetheart, Ceorgean Moore, members participated in group and in- dividual projects diligently and helped bring home numerous awards and honors for their chapter.

On August 13, they attended an officers workshop in Wood- ward where they got an unexpected lesson in the care of a newborn . .. When the officers were returning from lunch they heard a strange noise coming from the back of the van and when the search for the cause ended, Mrs. Pam Houk had found a newborn kitten. Due to 100 degree temperatures the kitten had to be taken along to the afternoon session where Mrs. Flouk gathered an audience as she fed the tiny stowaway milk through a straw. For the entire chapter of eighty-four the year began on a less unusual note when the officers and upperclassmen hosted a coke party for the freshmen and any other new members at the city park. In late September the new members met again in the city park for a banana split party where magazine sales were explained. The following Saturday the initiates were treated to a surprise breakfast which began initiation week for the 'poor little sisters.' On October 11, the initiates FHA.

November was a busy month for the chapter with the Rockathon and Dinner Theatre taking up the first two Saturdays of the month and the regular meeting which was a self-protection course given by two highway patrolmen and open to all interested women and high school girls. December came with the annual secret angel week and the revealing of secrets at the December meeting and Christmas party. In February the annual banquet was held with the theme ’Two Less Lonely People.' In March the scheduled hay ride had to be canceled due to bad weather. In April, members of the chapter attended state rally. The delivery of May flowers brought about many nervous people when there was a shor- tage of carnations and potluck had to be substituted for the three chosen colors. Dur- ing this time, another lost kitten was found and adopted by Misty Howerton. The installation of new officers signaled the end of a year. It had been great despite the outside activities canceled due to bad weather, lost kittens, and the many calender changes, new friendships developed and the chapter membership grew.

But on a clear black night, two days before Halloween, the National Honor Society students invited all faculty members to a party to do just that and it worked! After the initial shock of seeing teachers in strange outfits wore off, the fun began. 'Pass the Lifesaver' was played right after 'Pass the Orange.'

Lisa McCollum, Merci Welch, Laura Copenhauer, and Toni Keeten don't mind getting when the lackets are winning Up in the Stands There is one sport that everyone has participated in at one time or another. It involves wearing cer- tain colors, carrying certain paraphernalia in hand, sitting, standing, and using the voice in a loud sort of way. This sport is being a fan and the only place to do it is in a crowd. Crowds played an extremely important part throughout the year. Whether it was through cold sheets of rain at the Seiling football game, or in the musty, hot gym at Cordell for the basketball Area playoffs, the fans suffered through very uncomfor- table conditions to support the team. The way in which the crowds form always played an important and somewhat amusing part. The pep bus was always the best way to get to the away football games, commented Marci Welch. We'd pile in, get real typer, and yell all the way down. I'd sometimes lose my voice before we even got there! The attire a fan chose to wear was also vital. Molly Edwards turned a lot of heads at the Hennessey game when she had a cow bell in one hand, a clicking noisemaker in the other, and white punk sunglasses over her eyes. When I go to any kind of game, I feel like being crazy! I guess it sort of does attract atten- tion, she explained. Another aspect of being part of the crowd is how it makes the players out on the court or field feel. It always helped so much to see those orange handker- chiefs waving and to hear all of those cheers. I could just feel the spirit coming right onto the field.' reflected Tim Stone. Yea, added Mike Castleberry. When you have a whole crowd of people behind you, nothing can stand in your way! It was the crowd that won the Regional basketball final game against Carniege. It could have gone the other way, but the crowd kept the team up, com- mented Coach Richard Beck. Crowds were something that everyone needed and wanted, and it was well worth the sitting, standing, and raising the voice in a loud sort of way. 76 Crowds VICTORY CRIES. Pep Club President.

The fans do not see all the sweat and blood that appears on hot skin during practice. Not everyone sees the com- radery and the special friendships that are formed during workouts. Rarely are the exclamatory remarks, 'Good job' and 'Let's go now' heard by anyone but the players and the coaches. Sports became not only an activity, but with A FAIRER VIEW it became a way of life.

Mr Marion Claborn began the weight program. Several of us guys worked out about every day after school during the football season ' Mike Castleberry said. As more became interested, the program expanded to in- volve more than fifty boys. Chris England was named outstanding heavy lifter at the district 2A-1 meet where the team won the championship. One sport may have rubbed off Mr. John Sellars. Susan Byfield often discussed the trap-shoots sponsored by the morning Lion's Club, with Mr. Sellars while waiting for Chemistry class to start. She's a pretty good shot. Don't underestimate her, Mr. Sellars told his class. Challenges were presented as several students found themselves at the top of a snow covered mountain Hav- ing just finished ski lessons.

The two losses, to No. 1 ranked Cordell and Alva, did not stop the Jackets' enthusiasm going into the district playoffs.

Football 83 Every team has a goal - a big one Not just to win. but to go through an entire season undefeated The desire would have to be not only skin deep, but it would have to be Blood Deep The Junior Varsity team set its own goals after they won their first game. They were fired up the rest of the season and they were on their way to an undefeated season. 'What made us a good team was that we had team spirit running through our blood stated Charlie Owens. Terry Wimer remarked, 'We always prac- ticed with the high school so when we played against other teams, it was much easier 'Coach Sinor and Coach Blevins were the keys to much of our success because their own motivation was always high one student commented. 'The highlight of the entire season was our victory over the Watonga Eagles smiled Terry Wimer. In junior high, same as high school football, the players had to learn a whole new offensive and defensive game. Beneath the frustration and disappoint- ments, the eighth and ninth graders still proved to have a successful year. The final scores don't show the efforts of the team. Their pracitces, full of strenuous exercises and drills, were strict and serious. When starting quarterback Allen Box had to miss four ballgames because of a heart problem, the team's winning spirit and determination were not damaged in the slightest. The team never lost hope in themselves. After losing to Seil- ing in two overtimes, they came back and won the last two games of the season.

Football 85 A basketball team has about one tull month of practice to prepare for the first game They don't have time to worry about minor details They have to get right down to the sweat, the pain, and the hurt of practice They had to work on getting Down to What Counts. Normally, when a basketball coach sees a team made up of mostly inexperienced juniors, with two Sophomores, and one Senior providing the upper class leadership, he would be a little bit on the pessimistic side, but not in this case. 'We were all nervous about being so young with not much time behind us, but we pulled through explained Stan Shewey A lack of height was another obstacle that had to be dealt with With only two players reaching over six foot, quickness was the key. 'We may not have killed them with our size, but we could out maneuver the best of them!' related Gregg Miller. After everyone got into the swing of the season, it was ap- parent that it would be a suc- cess. ‘We all knew each other so well, we could always tell what each other was going to do,' stated Mike Cross. Stan Shewey broke the record for the most con- secutive free throws with 16 which totaled 69%. The optimism grew as the season did. Before each game when the team would huddle in the center court, it was customary to simultaneously yell Dead Meat.' When asked what exactly that meant, Perry johnson simply replied, It means we re gonna kill 'em!' Through all the setback and misfortunes, the Jackets suc- ceeded in creating a team, a hard working team, and that was what counted after all M.S.

Most of them were learning new offense and defense and they mastered the plays. 'It was really different from junior high — where we were the big guy,' said Terry Wimer.

Unfortunate- ly, only six of those girls can start. What the others do while watching from the bench is what makes a team work. 'I know everyone can’t always play, but I do know that everyone helps win! I feel good when I know I'm helping to win.’ said lean Katzung. Perhaps bench warming was the best place to be during a ball game. Not only could all remarks from the coaches be heard, but plays and moves could often be anticipated. 'It was neat; I'd find myself know- ing exactly what was going to happen next,' remarked Lori Cravens. Then when timeout is called the enthusiasm by the girls is overwhelming. Hands begin clapping while words of en- couragement are expressed. Sometimes it may be a little difficult to be on the bench in- stead of on the court, but it is very important position to fill and it was definitely filled with style.

'When we had the ball, we knew we had to act as a team, and that is what we did,' said Sandra Parker, a starting forward. 'Several of our games were close, especially with our big rival Alva added Susan Helton. 'We had a winning season,' said Coach Lonnie York, 'and we probably should have won even more of our games by less than 5 points. Three of those were one point losses.' 'But the girls worked hard and played hard. I was always proud of them,- York added. Because they were needed to practice with the varsity team, the junior varsity team suffered a disappointing season as they were usually on the lower end of the scoring. The day before the games the junior varsity players filled the shoes of the opponent to help the high school girls prepare. 'It cut down on our own practice time but made us hustle during our own games,' commented Tracy Graham. 'Since our games were early, usually six o'clock, someone was always forgetting some- thing they needed for our four o'clock departure, said Tina Wilson. 'Lori Cravens had to call her mother more than once to get her suit out of the washer, dry it and bring it to school' she remembered. 92 JUNIOR VARSITY Season Record FHS OPPONENT 15-49 Chisholm 39-46 Cherokee 29-42 Okeene 28-46 Pioneer 9-34 Alva 16-41 Hennessey 24-58 Woodward 0 wins - 7 losses WIDE OPEN.

With a new head coach there were new rules and new practice workouts. The team was divided into three groups, distance runners, sprinters, and field events. Each group had a separate workout Some guys went out sixth hour to start on their workout The sooner the workout was finished the sooner they could do some ex- tra running or weight lifting. Most of the track meets were held on days that the weather was fairly good. At the Woodward Relays, however, there was drizzle, sleet, and cold wind. While waiting for their race, the tracksters got mentally psyched up by thinking how they would run their race. To get physically prepared most runners put some kind of heat on their legs and then stretch out and jog a few laps. Even though the team did not always win first at the meets there was always tremendous spirit and effort. The challenge of maintaining the winning tradition from the previous year had been met.

With one final push, Suanne Wymer hands off the baton to Melody Smith in the mile relay during the Fairview Invita- tional meet % H.S. Track So much goes into track besides run- ning laps and going to meets It takes a lot of motivation, hard work, and con- centration and it all happens Before They Cross the Finish Line For any trackster, there were two main things necessary in order to even hope to do well. Dedication, and the willingness to make sacrifices. And those two things were exactly what the girls' track team had. Days upon days were spent tying on cleats, gritting teeth, and running endless laps around the black and white track. I sometimes would catch myself wondering what I was doing out there You never really get anywhere, you just go round and round, and round! remarked Suanne Wymer. The weather had quite a lot to do with how strong the dedication was. Some bitter cold days were just too much for anyone to handle, so in the stuffy gym, the runners could be seen. Changing from the track to hard wooden floors was not very good for the legs. Cramps were common, and the changing from outside to in often caused sickness. Mary Claborn, the long distance runner, could often be seen toughing out those bitter cold days. I just couldn't get that much accomplished inside, so I'd bundle up as much as I could and get out and run! Weekends were another thing that had to be given up With a meet on Saturday, the members would have to go in early on Friday, spend all day Saturday at the meet, and then usually rest on Sundays. Melody Smith concluded, ”1 think it was all worth it! It not only keeps me in shape, I feel great when I finally cross that finish line! junior High Season Record Conference Meet Fairview Jr H Inv junior High Individual Records 2 MILE RUN; 16:02.03 Melody Nightengale ON YOUR MARK.

It involved snow, Walkmans, Slim Whitman, and rain. Road trips were rather ex- citing, amusing, and sometimes silly. Most players turned to the ever popular Walkman. 'It was so funny to see Cregg Miller while he was listening to Michael jackson! He'd sing the background music out loud and it sounded like a chip- munk!' remarked Brent Boulware. When things seemed to get a little boring, Casey Reed, Perry Johnson, and Brent Boulware came to the rescue. They performed their own ren- ditions of 'Slim Whitman does Van Halen.' Weather was a big factor for the players. It was bundle-up time for the spring baseball team. Several games were played in forty degree or below conditions. 'The most exciting time of all was when we practiced in the snow and got to see Coach Coffey's mustache crystalize!' exclaimed Cregg Miller. As if snow wasn't enough, rain, rain, and more rain came along. We practiced so much inside, I could catch grounders better on a basketball court than I could on a baseball field!’ stated Casey Reed. The Slim Whitman imitations and Walkman Stereos meant three things. Memories of the best season yet, fun, and friendships, and that was worth the frustrating rain and the bit- ter snow.

Anything that happens throughout any given day will have everything to do with live, breathing human beings who talk, laugh, tease, and joke. It all has to do with feelings. Feelings of love, anger, excitement, and sadness. Through ups and downs people help peo- ple. It does not really matter what function it is, or what occasion is going on, after a FAIRER VIEW, one can see it comes down to people loving people. It is that simple. FACES IN A CROWD.

Six students were selected for Boys' and Girls' State: Suanne Wymer, Michelle Freed, Terrell Barkett, Brent Boulware, Troy Bowers, and Brian Box. Patrick Countryman, when asked about his participation in the Phillips' University's musical, 'Working,' replied, 'I enjoyed working with people from out-of-town. They were experienced and I learned a lot that will help me in other musicals.' Among other winners were Casey Reed, George Eubanks’ Award and Outstanding football player; Perry lohnson, |oe Iordan Award and out- standing basketball player; Brent Boulware, outstanding baseball player; Suanne Wymer, outstanding basketball and track; and Bill Frerichs, outstanding track. No one could be prouder, however, of a blue ribbon than Mark Fast. After winning first place in Special Ed. Art, Mark told most everyone he would meet in the halls of his accomplishment.

Those busy times include award assemblies, ban- quets, Sadie Hawkins day, initiations, trips, and games. But when suddenly students find themselves in their last year of high school, those activities take on a whole new meaning. The phrase, 'This is the last time we’ll be doing this’ became com- mon, and a sentimental attitude was taken by everyone . . 'After every single thing we did this year, like play the last basketball game, or sit through the All Sports Banquet, I would think to myself, I will never go through this as a high PLEASED REACTION.

He pro- ceeded to have various surgeries and troubles with the knee throughout the rest of his active football seasons until finally, in the fall of his Senior year, he was told he would have to sit out for the rest of the season Brian Box also had to sit out of playing, but for a different reason. Brian found out in his younger years that he had arthritis, but this did not stop him from being involved with sports Brian became one of the best trainer managers any team has ever had. Luke Howard was another victim of knee injury, while Donell Turnham suffered a broken arm. 'It hurt so bad to have to stand on the sidelines instead of being out there with the guys on the field. sighed Brent. Here we were, four of the biggest guys on the field, and not even able to suit up. Larry Brickman, Luke and Brian also were missed on the basketball court where they had been starters before the injuries and illness began. When injury does happen, as it did to those four Seniors, it takes a strong person to overcome the set- back, and those five men did it with style.

Not Those There is one thing every student in English IV class had to do, no buts' about it. It is something that requires concentration, organization, clear thought, and hard work No wonder each pupil hesitates to do . . . the dreaded research paper! It started with sorting out hopeful topics, trying to find the one that agreed both with the researcher and with Mrs. Geraldine Burns. Then came the research itself. After ex- hausting all resources available in the school and city library, the classes boarded a bus and traveled to Enid to their much more advanced facility. 'I kept going to the wrong aisle to find my books! I never would have made it if it weren't for that librarian who saw me wandering around with my hands on my head,' commented Pam Kai. Separate systems of notetaking had to be created, and the word organization' took on a whole new meaning. The day I dropped all of my notes on the floor and then picked them all up was the day I knew I had to get my act together,' stated Vicki Simmons. Once the rough drafts were com- pleted and turned in a short waiting period took place, and then the final drafts were due Bill Frerichs had his done a full day in advance while john Harris had to stay up an entire night to finish his. ‘I didn't get to bed until 4:00 in the morning. I felt like a zom- bie’ I'm glad I won't do another one for at least a year!' he added The papers were complete and a definite feeling of accomplishment was there Most students, after finishing the traumatic experience, felt that it wasn't nearly as bad as they thought it would be.

Usually, everyone considers Europe, Africa, and Asia to be foreign countries, but rarely has anyone from Oklahoma considered their own state to be in that category. At least, not until Jerry Willars, a native Mexican, came to town When I first got here I knew no English. I tried real hard and I could understand all of you Americans. Now I speak pretty good!' explained jerry. Breaking the language barrier was not too hard for Jerry If his words didn't come out clearly, he could often be seen simply miming what he was trying to say. Duane Frerichs, who had a class with Jerry, com- mented, 'We got to where if no one understood Jerry, we d just start giv- ing signals! It was like a whole new language. It was pretty fun!' The fact that he was in a different country and a strange environment didn't affect the way Jerry behaved He still acted crazy right along with the rest of students. His famous Mexican call,' which consisted of a sharp cry followed by several yelps like a dog, became a common sound at awards assemblies, and at the Christmas Musical, he sang Jingle Bells in Spanish. Jerry summed up his feelings by saying, America is a great place to live and I love Oklahoma I miss home though, so I'll go back there and then I want to come back to this state for college.

Nevertheless, a visit to the hospital cleared up the questions of where is everyone?' Solitary confinement, bland food, and visiting hours were common complaints heard from hospital admitted juniors. Known for sharing everything, and illness no exception, they kept each other informed on what or how the others were doing. 'At least I didn't have to go through it alone,' said Tammy Boulware. Sonic french fries and candy bars were welcomed sights as most of the students ate very little of what was served to them. Doctors threatened to hold them there if they didn't stop run- ning around and visiting each other. Friday night brought a string of visitors. 'There were more people to visit in the hospital than there was up town,' said Tony Pendergraft. Various faculty members wandered from room to room reminding them of what awaited them when they returned to school. One by one they returned to school leaving behind an ex- perience, one that was better off being in the past. RESTING UP. Because of Coach Claborn's FANCY FOOTWORK.

For the very last time juniors en- countered these ordinary things.' 'We've done the same things for eleven years; it'll be odd not doing them,' said Melinda Woodard, 'I guess we'll get used to it.' Sports, outside activities, jobs and fund raisers kept juniors busy. Mum sales set a record allowing for the largest amount of money to be spent for the )r. Sr. Banquet. ’We wanted to send the seniors out in style; I hope they felt that way,' said Jeanna Loftus, 'too much emphasis was placed on the money at some times but we had a worthy cause.'

Whether those talents were musical, dramatic, or athletic there were always opportunities to put those skills to use. For Katresa Iordan many hours of practice paid off when she used her excellent ability at the piano in the talent contest for fair queen. Katresa was also per- suaded to play dinner music for the Dinner Theatre. Kim Rowe also used her special abilities in the Fair Queen contest where she did a humorous reading. She later qualified for State Speech contest with the reading 'Alexander's Terrible Day.' The Fine Arts Festival gave many Sophomores the chance to show off their gifts which range from 'junk art' of Keith Turner and Lee Titus to skiing instruction given by Kim Rowe and Kim Cravens. Ronda Cunningham, who has been the president of the class for their first two years in high school, was rewarded when she was chosen to attend the Hugh O'Brian Leadership Seminar. Making music or having fun the members of the sophomore class were very much individuals.

This could be seen in the class's choice of electives which ranged from the popular Typing I where Charlie Owens could never manage to stay caught up, to the speech class taught by Mrs. Geraldine Burns where Tracy Graham and Shirley Keeton were enrolled with one junior and eight seniors. Scheduling hassels were settled but the county fair kept many from settling into the routine of school days as they showed stock or other projects, took part in the queen con- test or just rode the carnival rides. After the fair everyone could take time out to enjoy the late summer weather and the success of the foot- ball team which included seven sophomore players. Then came homecoming and after many com- promises and trouble in finding a trailer for the float, the halls and floats were finished. Those who had spent many hours working were disappointed when they placed third in the overall competition. In October the sophomore girls in FHA got to get even for their own in- itiation when they each had a little sister who had to obey them for a week. As the first nine weeks ended the class had gotten used to school and set out to make their lockers a home away from home by adding stickers, posters, and shelves. Of course, some people had a little trouble stay- ing neat. Shelley Martens was caught in an avalanche of paper more than once. Sophomores were surprised when they were allowed to order their class rings during the winter and received them before school was out. When servers were picked for the lunior-Senior banquet, Chad Carey complained, I always wear cowboy boots! I will not go barefoot or wear shorts.' He did and so did the others who liked their Hawaiian shirts so well that they were seen in the halls all spring. When the last book was checked and the last test of the year was taken, the sophomore class could be sure that no future class would do things quite the way they did. (for which their teachers are thankful.) DETAILS. Poncho Vasquez concentrates on his Woodworking II project NEW STUDENT?

Boys, dances, and partying were the usual topics of gossip and interest. Bits of con- versation like 'Do you think my jazz dance will be ok for my fair queen talent?' Angela Cornelsen asked Christi Reed, 'Are you doing tap?’ New wave described the way they handled their first year in high school. From one extreme to the other they dressed, walked, and talked their way through. There was no limit to what style of clothes they wore, from low waisted skirts to heels and baggy pants. Doing their own thing made them feel older than they were, whether they looked it or not. The impressing, flirting and primping was just the in- experience showing through, yet not only did they learn the do’s and don't's but showed other students what they did when they were 'final- ly in high school.'

Eighth graders are responsible for setting an example for underclassmen as leaders of the school. Many students realized this and as Dar- win Wiens said, 'I hope that they learn something from us. 'If someone is depending on you and you don't do right, it sort of blows it for them,' said Sheri Seaboourn when asked how she felt. Eighth graders were busy par- ticipating in activities ranging from foot- ball, basketball, and track, to science fair contests in Alva, Oklahoma. The students were just as busy inside as they were outside. When they were not working on English and history assignments, they were decorating the halls with colorful orange and black spirit signs. Eighth graders Darla Kliewer and lamie Martin were among the audience when Mr. jack Bowan of KOKO's Wednesday Child spoke at a neighboring church. As the end of the year ap- proached, the students realized that they would be freshmen at the high school next year. An- ticipation and fear mingled in their minds. Many looked forward to the new classes, teachers, and at- mosphere while many other students dreaded high school for the very same reasons. When asked what fears that they had about being a freshman, a majority of the prospective freshmen answered 'being push- ed around by upperclassmen.' Other fears included losing the priority that they had as eighth graders, and finally not finding any friends. 'I'll try my best to get peo- ple to like me, but I know that doesn't always work,' said Timarie Simmons. Leadership, responsibility, and anxiety were all a part of being an eighth grader.

Sure, the band is there, the cheerleaders are in front, the regular adult crowd is there, but there is one special cheering section that is always present. It is made up of seventh graders who find themselves too young to actually play in high school sports, but certainly old enough to support the team. I just go to all the games and scream like crazy, explained Michael Lowder. Complete with their own signs, noise makers, and loud voices they faithfully filled a section of the old orange and black bleachers. From the time the lights came on until the last beam flickered, this group of adolescents contributed much enthusiasm to the high school games. Sometimes when the football games would last a little longer, the high school voices would become a little weaker, but you could always count on the seventh grade voices to be as strong as ever, commented cheerleader Judy Unruh. Seventh graders are unique in that they make things happen whether it be in the lunch room, on a field trip, or at a high school football game.

Every student was ex- pected to participate in the annual science fair to be held at the fair building. Each selected a project to either test a theory or prove a scientific law. Scientists-to-be selected their projects and were placed under a category such as earth, space, or physical science divisions. Creativity played the largest part as students were judged. First in the earth and science catagory were Tim Katzung and Shawn Houk 'My project was to see how much solar energy was collected from indirect and direct light,' explained Shawn. Students strained their necks as they watched the sixth graders launch their rockets. Different sizes, colors, and styles of rockets and shuttles were sent soaring into the air. The returning rockets were recovered by a ground crew of several observers. 'I had a few problems launching my rocket; it was at least 4Vi feet large. It was heavy, Mr. Sackett had to hold it up on the launch pad,' commented Randy Weins. Before launching, students were briefed of dangers and therefore, knew better than to stand next to the launch pad made from a sawhorse, tin can lids and wire supports. 'I was in charge of the initial launching I got to push the button that gave it the electric start,' said Marty Graham. Highlights of rockets shooting in the air, solar beams coming toward earth are fond memories for the students of the sixth grade class. THROUGH THE HOOP.

It was a natural feeling since they had to adjust to new classes, upperclassmen, and hall lockers. Most liked the transformation, but some things still did not compare to their grade school experiences. 'I don't have time to eat anymore' was the most common complaint. It was obviously true when students were seen finishing their meal while standing in line to turn their plate in at the cleanup window. A lack of room and time caused pupils to be rushed in and rushed out of the lunchroom. But this minor setback was bearable when compared to the fun times. What could be more exciting than being a part of a Hee Haw production? Members of Mrs. Connie Claborn's English class replaced the usual country and western stars of the popular TV series. Practicing for over a month memorizing speaking parts and rehearsing steps, they produced a well organized and semi professional show for their parents and school faculty in May. Such stars as Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, and Crystal Gayle were por- trayed by Jason Sauter, Chad Kliewer, and Lisa Ward respectfully. The reproduction of the show even included jokes told in front of a fence scene as the students were hit by a loose fence board. ‘The Hee Haw production was the best thing out of the whole year,' said Chad Kliewer. 'It was the finishing touch to a great school year.' Much to the participants' delight, Mr. Bill McCue video taped the whole performance. Many of them viewed themselves as their audience had been able to. 'I was pleased with the show. It was very professional!' commented parent Patricia Sauter. After their final bow the young performers changed out of costumes and were treated with cookies and punch in Mrs. Claborn's classroom.

Different things happen in those two classrooms everyday In one of those classes where Mrs. Hayworth teaches they are studying food chains. 'Does anyone want to draw one on the board?' she asks. Four scattered hands shot up in the air. 'Chandra, your hand was up first so you can,' said Mrs. Hayworth. Chandra Friesen shyly stood up and walked toward the massive green chalkboard. Soon her small hand drew an ear of corn, then a pig who ate the corn, then a girl with a very skinny stick body and curly hair who ate the pig. It was a child's view of a food chain and it was very good. In the other room the students were diligently working on their math. Mrs. Marge Simmons ex- plained, 'They all work at their own rate so they aren't all doing the same thing all the time. It works well that way.' They began talking and discuss- ing different things when the topic of the new grade school building came up. 'How much money do you think it costs to build it?' asked Mrs. Simmons. Iason Carter suddenly blurted out, 'Oh, one thousand dollars.' 'No, no!' corrected Brent Robinson. 'More than that! I'd say a quarter of a thousand!' It seemed as though the con- ception of money was not very well understood. Robert Mettler, after hearing all of the previous answers con- templated the question and then confidently stated, 'I think it cost . . . oh . . . about four billion.'

Millions of surveys are taken every year, but answers given by children are probably the most honest and the most amusing The responses that were given by our third graders were no exception. When surveyed about their favorite things they came up with some very interesting answers. While over one-third of the class preferred pizza over any other food john Keefer wasn't picky. ‘Let's just say I'll eat anything that doesn't eat me first, except coleslaw,' he said. One of their favorite pastime hob- bies was watching TV. One half of the class voted for John Schnieder as one of their heroes and The Dukes of Hazzard' as their favorite TV show. That outcome seemed to be appropriate as one of the teachers was heard saying that it was written on third grade level. Another free time hobbie that ranked in the high percentages was collecting things. Butterfly wings, crooked rocks, odd pieces of wood, movie star pictures, baseball cards, and friendship pins were just a few of the things that the young collec- tors listed. Surveys taken by Newsweek and CBS may contain as much humor as the one taken by the third graders but they don't have as much honesty.

A solitary record player was turned on and the tiny black disc on top became their friend Now stretch, arms out, straight forward, with closed fists ... now bring them in to your chest and then back out one at a time ... ok, now . . right, left, right, left, .. With amusement and enthusiasm the children began their calisthentics. ''It is just like you're punching exclaimed Debra Whiteneck, PE instructor. They have twenty-five minutes of this everyday, she said. Some of the excited little pupils were stan- ding, some were sitting, and some were even sprawled on the floor. 'Ok, now kids, we're ready for the kangaroo jumps and the but- terfly winds ..the record continued. The children obviously liked this one because they got to do laps around the half court They began jumping and hopping around, stumbling and falling over each other. Keep your feet together ..added Mrs. Whiteneck After finishing one more hop, they got the signal to jump to the door and line up. Finally, while the sun still created patterns on the hard tiled floor, the children returned to their classes. Sherry Huff, while smoothing her jeans, reflected, That was fun, but my very favorite game is The Monster in the Cave, One person is it and the others try to get him. Then she added, whatever we do is fun! It's P E ! TAKING A CLOSE LOOK.

These were things of the past. Added responsibilities taught first graders that they were important too. It's scary to have to remember to do my job every day, especially cause we change chores every week,' said Stephanie Gunter. 'The teacher helps us remember our stuff when we forget .' Students were given chores, such as plant waterer, eraser cleaner and paper sorter to help them realize they wouldn't always be able to depend on someone else. Their ideas of hard work soon became something they looked for- ward to. ‘I think you get used to doing things and you start liking them. Work isn't so bad,' admitted justin Dow When we move to the new school our teacher says we ll have to be careful about keeping it clean, but that's ok cause we can do it,' added Chad Inman Lunch was a new experience as they were assigned a standing order and had to be careful not to spill their plates. 'The girl in front of me dumped her milk on the floor, but she didn't get in trouble.

Apparently the whole game is played only with children and the big stage. There are no balls, strings, gloves, or toys, lust the child against everyone else. The whole thing starts when so- meone is declared 'it.' The 'it' is call- ed the monster, and immediately takes his position behind the long gray curtains that border the deserted wooden stage. While screams of fright and delight are yelped, the ferocious monster chases helpless victims until someone is caught and resumes the role of the big bad monster. I love to play that game! When I'm the monster, I growl real loud so it will scare everybody else, then I run and run 'til I catch so- meone else!' explained jennifer Baird. Another big moment for the lit- tle toddlers is when break time finally comes and they are parad- ed down to the lunchroom for milk and cookies. 'This is the best part of the day 'cause I get so hot from playing so hard, I just have to sit and drink!' exclaimed Brad Eisenhauer. Monsters and milk seem to play some of the most important roles in a kindergartener's life; maybe all of life should be that simple.

The school secretary, Mrs. Betty Willits, did much more than just typing and answering the phone. She always had a kind word and a ready smile for any student seek- ing information, this was Mrs. Willits' last year as secretary and she will be greatly missed by all. Who else would get down on her hands and knees to help'' Mrs. Willits was just that type of per- son; she was always willing to help. Another retiree was Mr. August Schroeder who worked as a custodian for the school for seventeen years. During the rain- ing season, he could be seen car- rying buckets down the hall to catch the drips from the continual- ly leaking ceiling. In the winter he always made sure the walks were clear. Mr. Schroeder will also be greatly missed by all. Many lunches were prepared, trips taken, building cleaned, and decisions made before the caps and gowns were issued and the last diploma received.

Who would put on an orange pointed hat, bang pots and pans together, and yell at the top of his lungs at a pep assembly? The same person, a teacher, that was not only willing to share knowledge but also was very supportive of the students and activities. With determination in their eyes and school color on their heads, the faculty continually gave their all to help boost school spirit all through the year. 'I would rather hit pots and pans together instead of cooking in them any day said Mrs. Bonnie Cambell. From the first pep assembly. BOOSTERS. Mr Ed Winn. Mrs Bonnie Cambell, Mrs Pam Houk, and Mrs Marla Reames along with the rest of the faculty show their school spirit in a pep assembly through hall decorations for homecoming, during district cham- pionships for football and basketball, faculty support was always there Teachers wore school colors every game. The ladies would be in mat- ching spirit sweaters and the men in colors of orange and black. When asked to participate or referee in the annual Student Council Saide Hawkins Day, no teacher refus- ed. Any passing motorist saw Mr Doug Sinor on the front row of the volleyball game or Mr Robert Freed on the sideline refereeing. There must be a required college course Versatility 313 for all teachers.
