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

Flow of Emotions Our homecoming queen for the 1983-1984 school year is Miss Lori Schwind. Senior at Fair- view High School.' Bill Denton revealed calmly. Although it was expected, the applause was heard blocks away, and it proved to set the mood for the rest of the evening. It was super! The best part of Homecoming is to win the football game. If you lose the game, it puts a damper on everything; whereas, if you win, it just makes it all complete.' said Coach Claborn. For the First time in three years, the Jacket team had won Homecoming. By overcoming Medford in a 34-0 victory the Jackets proved once again their determination to show that they were the best. Senior players were ecstatic about winning Homecoming their last year at Fairview High. 'I felt happy. It felt just great!' David Mc- Cord exclaimed. Seniors weren't the only happy players; Sophomores were thrilled at having contributed to winning Homecoming their first year on the team. As for Juniors, it set the goal for next year. But happiness wasn’t restricted to the football team. Fans screamed; cheerleaders jumped and twisted; parents hugged and con- gratulated their sons. Emotions flowed the rest of the night and were transmitted from student to student through car horns and yells of triumph. Mary Claborn summed that feeling up for everyone when she said. 'It was a great memory.' All in all, the '83 Homecoming season only intensified the spirit contained in the student body. 14 Homecoming
