‘The Blueboys’ football team is one of the best I’ve ever -been associated with. The coaches are excellent coaches who know their stuff. I don’t think the fans are that consistent in their cheering; they might not think that has much to do with a ball game, but psychologically it helps to | motivate the team. Another thing to mention is the condi- tion of the playing field; it’s hard, which tends to cause in- jury, and dry with sandburs all over it. I feel if it costs $200 (for example) to water |the field as opposed to the school paying $500 for a -|shoulder, knee, ankle, or rib jinjury it doesn’t make much sense.” - John Jackson DuNe|ey Ask any 2 I.C. students about life or people at school and naturally, you'll never get 2 answers alike. § The people of I.C. are unique indi- oo viduals, each one as different as f his own point of view and back- tf ground.

It’s a helluva lot quieter than living in the dorms. I miss a lot of people, but I’ve also met a lot of people where I live now (ISD), so it all evens out.” - Barb Kiebel
