As we entered the second half of the decade of the 1980's, the community of Fair- view, as well as the nation, was shaped by a variety of events. In October, both Fairview students and citizens expressed their opinions concerning the auditorium bond issue; however, at the polls voters showed that they were not ready to finance such a project. Throughout the year, holidays brought back old traditions and started new ones. Local businesspeople invited children to trick-or- treat in downtown stores at Halloween, awar- ding prizes for the best costumes. Pam Houk’s hard work paid off when her children, Kathy and Brad, won with their Shirtales character costumes. Merchants also spon- sored an “old-fashioned” Christmas celebra- tion with the FHS band and show choir pro- viding entertainment for shoppers on several occasions. The new year dawned with excitement as this generation prepared for the return of Halley’s Comet. But excitement was turned to shock and grief on January 28 when, miles above the Florida coast, the space shuttle Challenger exploded and killed the seven astronauts aboard, including the first school teacher in space. Mr. Blevins, who tried out for the teacher in space program, commented, “In the seconds following the explosion of the Challenger, that small part of every educator riding with Christa McAuliffe turned into shock, disbelief, and sadness.” By: M.

Picnickers eating under a shade tree with a favorite person could be seen all through the city park. Sadie Hawkins proceeded as usual with fun and games — an egg toss, tricycle race, and jello eating contest. Also on the list of ac- tivities were tug-of-war, volleyball games, obstacle course and a long distance run. Competition between the classes was heavy with the seniors in the lead followed closely by the juniors, freshmen, and sophomores. On the first day of Sadie Hawkins’ week, students appeared like their favorite occupation. Shawn Houk showed up in blue scrubs looking like a surgeon. The next day, Hat Day, had good participa- tion. The halls were flooded with every kind of hat imaginable. Nerd Day rolled in on Wednes- day and more outrageous costumes than ever showed up. Max Martens turned out his nerdy wire rimmed glasses and clashing clothes strongly resembling Pee Wee Herman for the annual nerd parade. On Friday things were back in full swing with the traditional Grub Day and everybody showed up in the sweats and t-shirts. However, a bright, sunny school day dis- missed early and soon all remnants of Sadie Hawkins Day were gone but not forgotten. By: A. Wells 12 Student Life
