22 Spanish Club Whenever mischeif was a foot, someone blamed the Spanish Club. Such attention was not un- deserved snce it was the most active club at IV. Advisor Jim Johnston, in his life-long pursuit of fun, spurred the Spanish students into organizing a Spanish Carnival, ice cream feeds for honor roll students and the traditional “Dulces de Amor” candy cane sale at Christmas. He really duped them well when he coerced them into sponsoring a disasterously funny Gong Show, during which Spanish Club attained it’s greatest acomplishment — getting a Volkeswagon onto the stage. Unfortunately, the fearless leader of the Spanish Club could take no more. He saw the writing on the wall, and since rats are the first to leave a sinking ship, he resigned as advisor Spanish teacher. Row 1: Gavin Rundell, John Sloan. Jim Johnston.

Future Farmers of America FFA The Future Farmers of America (or FFA) were involved with many activities ranging from Food for America Program, numerous dances, and speaking competitions. Individually, there were many outstanding performances. Arch McHie took a first place in District and Sectional FFA public speaking contests against 90 schools competing. Russ Wright also earned a second in both the District and Sectional competitions. The greatest honor an FFA member can receive was awarded to Junior Dave Billhimer who received the State Farmer Degree. This award is given to only 3% of the total FFA membership of the state. Billhimer was the first person to receive this award for IVHS in 8 years. The officers that headed FFA for the 1981- 82 season were Dave Billhimer for President, while his sister Darla was the reporter. Vice- President was Bob Buckhaults while the treasurer was Matt Miller. Finally, the secretary was Beth Savage and the sentinel was Chris Buckhaults. Row 1: Sharron VanderWoude, Sherry Lamb.

Journalism Rushing to meet deadlines, improving writing skills and learning public relations kept Journalism I and Advanced Jounalsm students busy all year. The two monthly publications, the Cougar Chroni- cle (Journalism I) and Student Spectra (Advanced Journalism) entertained and informed the student body and community. Cougar Chronicle editor Charlie Holbrook and her staff of beginning journalists endeavored to perfect writing skills and become familiar with techinical aspects of jounalism. Editor Kelley Mar- tin and staff produced a superior metro-sized paper, complete with community features, student opinion and sports coverage. The unsung heros of both papers were Robyn Hauser and Don Cooper. Robyn managed to keep the Chronicle and Spec- tra supplied with photos while Don Cooper displayed excellent sales ability by generating enough ads to support both publications.

Mathletes Five regular Southern Oregon Math League meets and the final meet at Southern Oregon State College pro- vided a busy season for the Mathletes. Events throughout the year ranged from circles to series and sequences, and many mathletes spent a great deal of time reviewing for the meets. Both teams placed well in the SOML, competitions. The Anti- Derivatives secured a fourth place over all, while the Derivatives were sixth. High scorers for the season were Susan Almond, Adam Thompson and Bob DeVyldere, with Sophomore David Meads showing great promise for next year’s program. Row 1: Lynda Rotmans. Tene Davison.
