Seek . . . and Ye Shall Find The hunt was on. Six juniors participated in a man hunt at the beginning of the year. Dennis Mayes, a grade schooler at Longdale, was lost for fifty-two hours in the woods on his parents' farm. We went out two days for about three hours each. He was way, way out there. I don’t see how he got out so far.” Telina Reeves said about her participation in the hunt. Mishaps seemed to be the going thing for Fairview. The entire north end of town was evacuated on October 22, when a chemical truck and an oil field pick-up collided. Rob Muller, who was staying with a friend at the time of the accident said, 'I was kind of worried because my parents were supposed to come home that night, and they didn't know about the accident.' With the low economy, came the closing of many Fairview stores, the Buttonhole and Kyle's were just two; however, community spirit did not reflect the crunch and was definitely on a high. I think that overall Fairview has a very good athletic program. I'm happy with this year's records,' Pat Robinson, one of the Jacket’s most supportive fans, commented on the year's sports record. Overall support for school academics and sports was higher during the year than in many previous years, as many fans learned as they tried to find seats at home or away games. But that didn’t stop the student body from hunting for more Jacket spirit, and the hunt was successful. GETTING INVOLVED. While visiting field-marching practice.

Cartoon Craze Micky Mouse put on the Ritz; Lucy gave advice; Mr. T made threats; and Garfield lived for Friday night as students grabbed the cartoon homecoming theme and ap- plied it do doors, billboards, and floats. The week started out very slowly as everyone fought for first choice of theme ideas. From the Freshmen to the Seniors, every door, float, and billboard was at last on its way by Tuesday night. “This is going to be the best year yet, commented Jenna Loftus. After hours and hours of hard team- work, the class projects were soon to be completed. But before students knew it, it was time for the annual bonfire. The Sophomores started early with a wiener roast in the park. Afterwards, they (even Keese Pond on his crutches) climbed into a huge wheat truck and dragged Main. On the way down Main, they found the Juniors loading their flatbed truck at Land- power and was stopped by the police at the State Road to let the Seniors' car caravan through the red light. The Sophomores booed , and the Seniors cheered as car after car peeled around the corner onto Main Street. The traditional outhouse, painted with Senior spirit slogans, burned bright, in the center of the Thursday night bonfire help- ing keep students, faculty and fans' spirits high even though a controversy between the Seniors and the Sophomores threat- ened to explode. Last minute work on floats and doors was attended as the Seniors' Garfield received his final coat of paint, Juniors found a hat for Yosimite Sam, and the Sophomores finished taping Woody Woodpecker's laugh. Only the Freshman's Popeye was ready for the big day. Homecoming 13
