Seeing someone dressed in flamboyant black and gold clothes and sporting other Yellow Jacket paraphanalia was enough to raise anyone's eyebrows. Yes, any place where students gathered it was very easy to distin- guish the lrmese from the rest of the crowd. Ob- jects such as T-shirts, Sting rags, stickers, jackets and yellow overalls worked like neon signs, telling others that an Irmo student was close by. But the school colors were not the only things that set Irmo students apart from the rest. No, it was not appearance, but attitude that advertised to the world that these kids were different. It seemed to radiate from every student, every person affili- M 6 ated with lrmo High School, a glow with which that if Person shouted, Hey, look at me . . . I'm from l i iiw l l' Irmo!

Yes, in whatever Irmo High School students did, they certainly attracted attention. Why, even the very day before school was supposed to have start- ed, the attention of the whole state was turned to Irmo, where students could not return to school on schedule. Due to the discovery of asbestos in the ceiling, school was delayed for a week. The entire first-floor ceiling had to be rebuilt so that any possi- ble threat of cancer was removed. The news media took an interest in Irmo High and everyone watched as faculty and students moved Irmo High School to the second floor. After everything was settled in and the year was belatedly kicked off, things began to feel like Irmo again. School spirit was at an all time high, and students and faculty showed it. They supported Irmo's many activities, whether they were athletic, cultural or academic. And, although it was not the number one priority for the 1981-'82 school year, the Irmese thought black and gold anyway. Even throughout some unaccustomed defeat, Irmo stu- dents were proud to say, Look at me . . .. I'm From IR1VI0l Opening 5 Just a friendly chat . . .

A: Absolutely not! As Irmo High School students marched home ev- ery day or left school for summer vacation, they took their Irmo pride and spirit with them. They took it to work with them, they took it shopping, they took it across the ocean on ships and planes. In burger joints, shopping malls and in foreign lands that familiar exclamation could be heard: Look at me . . . I'm from Irmo! Whether or not other people understood the meaning of the word Irmo, they looked and took notice. People were looking at the Irmese on Lake Murray, at the movies, at the State Fair. The loca- tions and activities were as diversified as the stu- dents themselves, but they all had one thing in common: they shared that Irmo pride. What has ten legs and sings?

Basking on the white sands of a tropical island provided that rest and re- laxation for 244 seniors during their 1981 spring vacation. ' Each senior who participated was re- quired to fork over S380 ldivided into four 395.00 paymentsl. These fares cov- ered the ever-rising expenses for five days of eating, drinking, and being merry. But after the money was paid, the travelers relaxed and began the countdown to the long-awaited date of departure. On Thursday night, April 8, 1981, at 9:00 p.m.,A the seniors boarded Greyhound buses for the eleven-hour road trip to Mi- ami, Florida. Once in Miami, the crew boarded the U.S.S. Emerald Seas, a sort of floating hotel which would trans- port them to the Bahamas and back. On the island, the seniors had a wide variety of activities to choose from. Some opted for soaking up some sun on the beaches, while others went shopping in the marketplaces and shops. But after only 3 days in Nassau, the prospect of returning home had to be faced. It was back to ship, back to Miami, back to the buses, and back to lrmo where the seniors could tell everyone of their experiences on the Bahamas trip, the last major activity for them as seniors. All ashore who's going ashore! The Emerald Seas beckons to Bahama goers from its dock in Mi- ami, Florida. The wind swept beaches in Nassau are a favorite playground for traveling lrmo seniors.

As a student's wardrobe grew, his savings account probably did not. Many students had to save their money for a couple of weeks to get the shirt, pants, or dress they wanted. But a lack of funds did not stop stu- dents from buying more clothes. This year the preppy look was in with plaid pants and skirts, penny loaf- ers, knee socks, and V neck sweaters. The western look was stylish again this year among students. Jeans, hats, feathers, and leather accessories were reminiscent of the old west. And to fin- ish the look, a variety of boots were visible on the feet of 'Lurban cowboys . A few students favored the punk ul--W -o0 '?i f look. Flamboyant fashions such as bag- gy pants, leopard-skin patterns, camou- flage pants, pink or black tennis shoes, and colorful shirts were part of the punk wardrobe. For those who would afford it, the de- signer look was popular. Some of the brand names worn included Calvin Klein, Jordache, lzod, Ralph Lauren, and Aigner, to name just a few. Although the old jeans and T-shirts look was slowly slipping away, some students simply hung on. A definate mixture of tastes and styles presented itself during the 1981-82 year. From formal to casual, each student repre- sented his or her own style. The preppy look is personified by Sharon Fashion plates Mary Mulhern and Kari Renshaw Underwood, who sports a sweater, oxford cloth but- discuss what they will wear to school on the next ton down, khaki trousers and pearls. day. Student Life Fashions Homecoming Golden Moments are forever was the theme of Irmo's 1981 Homecoming week. Golden it was, but it was many other ac' tivities also. Monday was preppy day. Students wore their snazziest lzods and Polos for this day. Tuesday, students dressed in their favorite college colors. Carolina and Clemson were seen the most. Crazy students wore their zaniest headgear for crazy hat day which was Wednesday. Many moose and chicken heads made their appearance atop lrmo students. Thursday was special, just as if it were only for the punkers at lrmo. Green hair and people wearing strange clothes were on the rampage once again. Finally, on Friday, it was black and gold day. Almost everyone could be seen donned in black and gold. Other activities went on during the week also. Spirit chains were constructed in the lunchrooms. The Civinettes sold mums to guys for that special gal, and the French Club sold hats for the girls to give to their special fellow. At the homecoming pep rally, the ju- niors were announced as winners of the spirit chain and the Science Club was awarded for the best homecoming banner. Homecoming week at the very least was a diversion from the every day rou- tine of school. But it proved to be enjoy- able, and it appeared that Golden Mo- ments were Forever! . All right, big team!

Student LifefHomecoming 13 ut of the Ord1nary A night out of the ordinary. The 1981-82 Homecoming was definately not your routine night . For once, the lrmese could look be- yond the brightness of the community, and they could see the hard work and devotion that made Homecoming night such a memora- ble experience. Having lost the first four games, the Yellow Jackets showed considerable improvement and made it evident that they would continue to dominate their opponent. The jacket defense was stunning and they made it obvious that no team could be so persuasive as to let a few Ufind a hole. Having played so well, this forced the offense on the field. Containing that sting power, the lrmo offense had no trouble moving the ball down the field and into the end zone. The victory over Aiken resulted in a major climax in school spirit. Chris Varnadoe said that 'iAfter losing four of the first five games, beating Aiken was a matter of pride. During halftime, the activities proved to be exceptional as did the candidates. Preceding their presentation, the honor guard, all dressed in white, came onto the field, escorted by members of the ROTC. The girls followed, looking lovlier than ever. Anxiety was felt in the hearts of everyone as the queen and her court were announced. Second runner up was awarded to Ashley Hayes. Surprised and ec- static, as she walked forward, the excitement became even greater. After she had taken her place, Kathy Pooser was announced first run- ner up. Overjoyed, she took her place with the other runner up. Finally, as the spirit peaked, Mandy Morris was recognized as the new 1981-82 Homecoming Queen. Over- whelmed with happiness, she stepped forward to be crowned by last year's queen, Megan Hartly. Applause could be heard everywhere as the Homecoming court gradually disap- peared from the field for yet another year. Once again, lrmo proved to be exceptional as ever and as Todd Weatherford stated, This year's team was in a way more special to me, because we worked so hard and came so far. l knew all along we had the talent and potential to have a good team. I wouldn't trade last year for anything, but this year the team worked so hard together and became one family. One.

These words echoed in the ears of many teen- age date-seekers, not only at Irmo but at any high school. Students who worked not only missed dates but they also missed vacations, par- ties, and outings with their friends. An- other problem was keeping up with home- work. Students found it difficult to juggle homework between their jobs and what was left of their social life. Places where students worked varied Swab the deck mate!

The most popular jobs were at fast-food restaurants like Burger King, or Penny's. Some students sold clothes at department stores. And others had to re- sort to the ever-popular babysitting jobs. What these workers strived for was . . . money. Once that paycheck was handed over, all the hard work was forgotten. There was always a free night every now and then.

They come in all shapes and sizes. They can be seen almost anywhere, What are they? Irmo fans! Almost everything Irmo does is done with class. And why? Because the classiest people supported Irmo in their activities. lf one were to walk around an Irmo football game, he would see a variety of people. Most people attending the games were Irmo High students, but some were not. This year, parents of Irmo students showed more support than ever before. Many had reserved seats that gave them an excellent view of the game. Parents could be seen wearing shirts, hats, and jackets sporting the Irmo sting. And all could be heard cheering Irmo on to victo- ry. Another spirited group at the games was the brothers and sisters of Irmo stu- dents. Anywhere from middle schoolers to college age, brothers and sisters showed up at games, and other events, to support Irmo. But the most spirit came from Irmo it- self. High school students supported their school with more pride and showmanship than ever before. And Irmo students found it easier and easier to chant the year's newest cheer . . . We're Proud!! .

Although it had been delayed, the first day of school final- ly got underway on September 8th 1981. Students everywhere were saying where do we go? . All first floor doors were locked because of the asbestos, as a result of this, all schedules had to be changed. The students were told to go to the gym first thing in the morning, There Dr. Sprawls told the Irmo High students, that they were still the classiest school in the state. After his welcome speech he proceeded to tell them the room changes. Some were changed to the ever upopu- lar portables, while others were in the career center and still others were bussed to McGregor Presbyterian Church. Al- though they got off to a slow start, every- one believed that this would be one of the best years ever. Seeing old friends. Laura Patchen looks around for a familiar face. Student LifefFirst Day of School 21 Best of Times For most students, May 2 proved to be an evening to remember. And for some it was an evening hard to forget. For those students who had nothing to do during the day of the prom, there was always the SAT test. The scholastic apti- tude test was given that day at Richland Northeast high school. Many Irmo stu- dents sat apprehensively in classrooms for four hours, unable to concentrate on any- thing except the night's festivities. Unfor- tunately, many student's nervousness showed in their final SAT scores. With the days activities over, students prepared for the big event. Dresses and tuxedos were donned and hair was fixed properly. And then . . . he arrived. Of course, the boy was either too early or too late, but she somehow managed to finish quickly. And hurried to the car. Most couples ate at one of Columbia's finer restaurants. Some popular ones were Steak and Ale, Cork and Cleaver, and Bryans Warehouse. And after dinner, they headed for the Russell House. Once inside, students walked around, trying to see who was with who, and what they were wearing. After a while students found their way into the ball- room, where the magic began. The band, Strut, played popular music, as well as some more mellow tunes to set the mood. By Midnight, feet were worn out, and students were ready to leave. Things were quiet as couples left. Seniors were especially serious as they realized that they would soon be separated from class- mates they were enjoying, so. Even though the prom ended at 12:00, the magic lasted for months, as juniors and seniors exchanged prom pictures and reminisced about the Best of Times . l'm starving!

Carolina- Clemson Of course, Irmo was first in the hearts of all its students, faculty, and alumni, but there was a divided opinion of who was second. Most people had a decided con- cept of the 'lGarnet and Blackl' and the 'lOrange and White. The rivalry between the University of South Carolina and Clemson University carried into everyday life for students. Students displayed their spirit on shirts, hats, rags, bumper stick- ers, patches, pom poms, and almost any- thing else. The week before the big game was elated with excitement. Students wore their colors with more pride and dignity than in the weeks before. Just before the game some fans were involved in pre- game tailgate parties. Both teams had done well so far in the season and Clemson was ranked second in the nation. When the two rivals finally met, Clemson upset Carolina by the score of 29-13. Some students were relieved and excited while others felt depressed. Between Irmo spirit andfor Carolina- Clemson spirit, the students' adrenalin was always flowing. Student LifefCarolina-Clemson 25 At the beginning of the year, things were slow. Lots of problems were expect- ed. But most students adjusted quickly and everyone managed to get along . . , Asbestos Possible f'Danger! Do not enter! Signs display- ing phrases such as these could be found at all lower entrances to the school at the beginning of the year. And why? Because . . . lrmo had a problem. On August 27, 1981, the day before school was to open, health officials decid- ed to close the lower level of the school. Asbestos fibers were found in the ceiling material. With the closing of school came weeks of work and preparation. All teachers on the lower level had to be moved out of the rooms and into portables, the Career Center, upstairs, and even the girls' lock- er room. Teachers, as well as students and faculty helped to move teachers, the offices, and the library. The first day of school was very hectic, but students adjusted quickly. Hallways were crowded and new lockers difficult to obtain, but the confusion did not last long. Students soon got accustomed to going to the Career Center to sign in late, or at- tending study halls in the gymnasium. All in all, lrmo handled one of their big- gest problems with more class than ever. Not another one! Mrs. Chitty sighs as she unloads yet another box.

It was usually just a matter of time before every- one had a gal or beau. lrmo dating was the same as any other high school. The process followed some gi , 1.

After going through all that, it was a wonder that we were able to get up in the morning. Student LifefDating 29 Crank It Up! Ohl Turn that up! lt's my favorite song! This phrase was often heard in cars, bars, and gamerooms. The only trouble wasg everyone listened to so many different kinds of music that it was hard to please everyone. Some of the most popular groups of the year were Journey, The Rolling Stones, REO Speedwagon, and the Com- modores. Rock and roll stayed with us an- other year as these groups gained ever- rising popularity among students. Also popular this year was beach mu- sic. Students enjoyed listening to land shagging tol songs by the Embers, the Catalinas, the Beach Boys, and other beach groups. One of the major set backs to this mu- sic was the price of albums and tapes. Most albums could be purchased at a lo- cal record shop for anywhere from 5155.99 to 51395. 8-track and cassette tapes were about the same price. 30 Student LifefPopular Music Stick out your tongue!

As one came closer to the gym, the sound became louder and it was evident that the gym was the head- quarters for the Friday morning activityg an lrmo High School pep rally. Students dressed in black and gold filled the stands and cheered for what was happening on the floor. Whether it was the cheerleading squad forming a hu- man tower, the band playing an upbeat tune, or a peanut butter sandwich eating contest between the classes, the specta- tors had something to yell for. The morning was always topped off by pep talks from team captains, coaches, and Dr. Sprawls. Each speech was geared toward increasing spirit and support from the students and faculty, along with mak- ing everyone aware of what was going on at Irmo. The rest of the day after a pep rally was one of mounting excitement, which peaked with the playing of the football game. At the game the students got a chance to release all of that energy that was welling up due to the pep rally. That's what rallies were about!

Two days out of the year, the school was visited by a red and white truck full of empty bags and needles. Of course, this could only be one thing, the Red Cross blood truck. On these days, many courageous students hesitantly rolled up their sleeves and gave up one pint of their blood to the Red Cross. Although a few veins collapsed along with some stu- dents, the blood drive turned out to be a huge success. Even though some students developed aichmophobia, better known as the fear of needles, the turnout was very good. Each donor was treated to cookies and Coke, supplied by the Red Cross. The truck traveled to schools all over the state and received thousands of pints of blood. By having these drives each year, our school was helping to assure that the community and the nation had a sufficient and safe supply of blood. Now this won't hurt a bit . . .

One of the biggest questions heard around school was How do you get to school? . Students were able to answer in many ways. Probably the most widely used answer was I drive , This year there was an even larger number of students driving than last year. And to handle the over- flow, a new parking lot was constructed. Second in rank was the number of stu- dents who rode busses. At 3:00 pm, it was difficult to get through the hallways because of students rushing to catch a bus. The rest of the students either walked, had parents drop them off, or carpooled with friends. But regardless of the way they got there, students did get to school. And that's what made Irmo such a super school. What a walk! Underclassmen walk from the new parking lot designed to accomodate cars of the soph' omores and juniors. Let's get home!

People of all ages bought Rubik's Cubes to see if they could solve the intricate pattern of the many twists and turns. The object of the puzzle is this: scram- ble up the many colored sides. Then try to rearrange the puzzle so that each side of the cube is one color. Most students found that it was much harder than it looked. For the extremely persistent student, a couple of books could be purchased, ex- plaining the answer to the puzzle. Unfor- tunately, the books proved to be more of a puzzle than the cube itself.

With the closing of the schoolis lower floor, due to health hazards, the cafeteria was used more often than usual. Classes met in the cafeteria, meetings were held there, along with many other banquets, receptions, and parties. And since lunch study halls were abolished, the cafeteria was overly crowded during lunch time. Once the lower floor was re-opened, students did not have to go back to lunch study halls. But there was more space to accomodate students, so the cafeteria was not quite as crowded. Table space was still hard to find, and a chair was a trea- sure as valuable as gold.

This is how many lrmo students spent an afternoon, evening, or even the late night hours of a weekend. Movies became one of the biggest sources of entertain- ment for students, and most students seemed to enjoy sitting down to two hours of comfortable entertainment. What stu- dents did not enjoy was paying 33.00 to 354.00 for a single movie. The money was hard enough to earn, but spending that much for a movie was even harder. Some of the year's more popular mov- ies were Raiders of the Lost Ark, Hal- loween ll, Stripes, and Porkies. Also popular were the WNOKfFM Mid- night Movies. Students enjoyed showings of such favorites as: Airplane, Friday the 13th, Night of the Living Dead, AND the all time favorite, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. For the students who enjoyed staying around the house, Home Box Office had an impact on families this year as it be- came available to nearly every home in this area. HBO subscribers enjoyed such favorites as: Kramer vs. Kramer, Pri- vate Benjamin, Ordinary People, and Elephant Man. A new movie starring a cast of young unknowns, Porky's proved to be one of the most popular mov- ies of the year. Big Bad Burt was seen in two movies this year, the Cannonball Run, and this one, Sharky's Ma- chine. 54 Student LifefMovies Viv i id, 1 xx G .A Wy, ,Q kg A 5- .-, 5, . I 5' :wwf if S W! ha, iw .

Ring Around the Finger After the sophomore year, there is the junior year, which is the middle of high school life. When the junior year is here, the only thing ever thought about was be- ing a senior. For many, no matter how hard they tried, the senior year did not come soon enough. To help one believe that one day they would be a senior, class rings were sold during their junior year. It was the first step of becoming a senior and it made the rising senior feel a little more privileged than the rest. Class ring order forms were given out in September. Students could choose from a range of metals including gold and sil- ver-based metal styles. Students were also offered different stones to put in their rings. Black onyx, gold sapphires, and birthstones were offered. The prices of the rings ranged because of the different choices that were available. One of the best things about the rings was the wait. The anticipation lasted only three months and they arrived just before Christmas holidays. The rings were a very nice and prestigous gift. They signified the arrival of the new seniors.

While some had to trudge to algebra, English and history, others got to skip off to art, dance and other less brain-taxing endeavors. But whatever the difficulty, the choice of which classes to take lay in the hands of the individual student. lrmo High School offered some one hundred fifty different academic courses, ranging from photogra- phy to Calculus, each offering its own special skills. The classes represented a wide field of opportuni- ties for almost every career interest. With the sounding of the 3:00 bell in the after- noon, students left for home to study for tests, write compositions, or probably none of the above. But it was impossible to escape from academics at lrmo, one of the highest-rated academic schools in South Carolina.

These factors helped to make social studies just a little easier. Students had the opportunity to learn about American government and Economics.

For one week, they had to bring sheets, blankets, pillows, clothes, and other needed materials. Classes began at 7 a.m. for the pho- tographers and 8 a.m. for the staffers, but to get a shower, they had to get up much earlier. Then came that 'twel- comed walk to the Russell House for that delicious home-cooked meal.

Maybe one could ask a friend to lend a hand or two or three . . . or four, or maybe he only needed one finger to punch the buttons of a calculator. Whichever the case it was evident that math was no longer 1+1:2, it required more time and brainwork. All of the teachers in their own ways tried to make math an enjoyable class to attend. Some used traditional teaching, methods, while others used storytime in math land and other less rigid methods. Some requirements for a passing grade in math were to attend class and show some sign of life for 150 days. For some students this assignment was difficult, but for others it was a piece of cake. Test were what finally decided the fate of math students. There was no special equipment used for math courses except pencil, paper and warm bodies. There were no special awards for math except maybe, a passing grade if one met the requirements. For some, these courses were enjoyable. For others it was a curse.

According to the Irmo circulum guide, English was one of the most essen- tial courses offered at Irmo. Besides having the basic courses, other English related skills were available such as Words, Words, Words, Advanced Reading Skills, Speech, Debate, Drama, I Hate to Read, and various journalism classes. Self expression was also taught through Creative Writing. As one looked about the campus, he usually caught a glimpse of the library. It wasn't uncommon to see at one time on another some of the Junior class hurrying about trying to get through the dilema of writing a term paper. The term paper was only one of the things a student had to do to master this required subject. But as the students looked back upon their high school English, this one thing would usually be remembered the most. Throughout the year the sophomores covered everything from short stories, novels and poetry to drama. Besides the term paper, Juniors also cover vocabulary and American literature. In their last year of high school English, Seniors made sure that all their years of words had paid off. English literature and such plays as Hamlet were all very well known to most Seniors. Through these studies, students gained knowledge that was carried with them throughout their lives. 70 AcademicsfEnglish Did you see this?

But the band members knew that none of these things could have been achieved with out the long hours of work and prac- tice. Practice for the members of the band be- gan in August. And during football season or before a contest, it was not uncommon to hear the band practicing on week nights. The band always showed its true colors at contest. They brought home two superior ratings from Camden. And on October 31, the State Band Competition was held at Spring Valley High School and once again the band proudly came home with another superior rating. The annual fruit sale helps pay for the spring trip which the band takes yearly. Not only was there a marching band at lrmo, there was the pep band, concert band and the stage band which were all under the direction of Lavonne Bazemore and James Stuart. ln all the bands at lrmo, much more than excellence was apparent in each of their performances.

AcademicsfBand 73 Tippv Toes No one could say that the dance depart- ment did not stay on its toes this past year. The lrmo Dance Theater directed by Mrs. West increased its membership and classes this year. Sixty-five students participated in the three classes of ballet and two courses of jazz dance, each geared toward increasing personal expres- sion through body movements. Each day students danced down the road through sun, rain, and snow to por- table ten, where the girls shed regular clothing only to changed into leotards, tights and slippers. Once transformed, they took part in exercises which toned muscles, developed self-discipline, grace and precision. The practice paid off at the performance of the Christmas pros gram on December 13 and the Springathon show on April 30. The stu- dents themselves raised money for the shows in order to pay for props and cos- tumes. The dance department leaped through the school year with greater participation and enthusiasm than ever before. Mrs. West summed the year up with these few words, These girls worked hard, l hope that each year can show as much growth as this year has.

Students who were in their first year of a foreign language learned much about that country's culture and customs. They also learned how to communicate with the people. For those students wanting to learn more in-depth about these languages advanced courses II, Ill, and IV were of- fered. Many Irmo students even got the chance to visit the country of their favor- ite language. Group trips were taken to some of these exciting places. German, French, Spanish and Latin were not the only foreign languages taught at Irmo. Some students thought that Computer Programming was a lan- guage in itself, and to many it was very foreign. It was in its first year of existance at Irmo. Computer Programming provided students with the opportunity to exper- ience an up and coming trend in educa- tion, business and science technology. Whether it was a course in a foreign language or Computer Programming, Irmo students always had a foundation on which to begin building their futures. HMMMM, not bad! . . .

Coach Rollings is a true sup- porter of the Fighting Gamecocks and as stated by him, I can get pretty ob- noxious at the games. Some times even crude. Coach Bob Rollings was born in the small town of Lancaster, South Carolina and lived on the rural out-skirts. He was born on October 31, fHalloweenl 1946 and was reared by Mr. Lather B. Rollings and Mrs. ldal.ou Rollings. He has no brothers nor sisters, but has an only son, Greg Rollings, who is 10 years old. ln 1964, he began studying at the Uni- versity of South Carolina where he majored in History. The Vietnam War made teaching look pretty good. My draft board issued occupational departments for teachers, so here I am today at Irmo High School. While there, Coach Rollings played 4 years of baseball on the U.S.C. baseball team. In 1968, only 22 years old, he graduat- ed from U.S.C. with a Bachlor's Degree in History. He began teaching at Irmo in 1976. He teaches 5 classes of U.S. Histo- ry each day. Some other activities that Coach Rollings is a part of are Coaching Junior Varsity and Varsity Baseball and assistant sponsor of the Key Club. As much as the Coach loves U.S.C., he despises Clemson. His true fellings for Clemson are, I can't stand Clemson! I never pull for them . . . Anywhere, anytime! l wish it was a private school in- stead of a state supported so my taxes wouldn't help support it.'l He designed the I Love U.S.C. bumper sticker and is in the process of designing another. Just like everyone else he has hobbies. They include all U.S.C. athletics, writing for the Independent News of Irmo, watching movies that recieves good re- views, and reading historic fNon-fictionl and baseball orinated books. The only thing I collect is as much money as l can keep. And what kind of music does a man like this listen to? Beach Music, of course and the ever popular Slim Whitman. His favorite television actor is Alan Alda, 'II fantasize about being the Hawkeye Pierce of education. Jill Clayburg, Natalie Wood, and Mary Tyler Moore are at the top of his list for favorite actresses. And as far as sports goes his favorite teams are U.S.C., Irmo, and the San Francisco Giants. His all time favorite athlete is Willie Mays. George Rogers is another one of his favorites. I love his attitude and team spirit. To most people this man is delightful, witty, and a true pleasure to know. Those who have him for U.S. History would probably agree that he and his classes are a true experience! What a pose! Coach Rollings supports his own weight after a long tiring day at school. I know it's here somewhere.

That was what lrmo's cho- ral departments did in the year 1981- 1982. Students who participated traveled all over the state of South Carolina. They performed in the Okra Strut, elementary schools, inductions into certain clubs and The Sound of Music. The Sound of Music was produced by lrmo's choral department.

Fred West measures out D- 76, a very important and crucial step in processing black and white film. a Drawing with Light Drawing with light was not the only type of art covered in the Irmo art classes. For the photography classes, headed by Miss Moore, this meant many different things for the up and coming photographers. The students were first taught how to make and take pictures with a pin hole camera made with an oat- meal box. After comparing the pinhole to a 35 millimeter came the basic back- ground and history of photography and the important role and popularity it has in our society today. The students learned to handle the 35 millimeter camera and oth- er photographic equipment. When the photographers had shot roles of film they 84 Academics!!-Xrt soon learned the steps in developing and printing a well composed print. The art classes taught by Miss Horton and Mrs. Shawver not only were taught to draw with light sources but many other artistic projects. After the first year stu- dents could go on to other art classes such as the flat media which covered silk screening to lanolium printing, batik loom wearing, ceramics, textiles and other var- ious classes. Through photography and art classes students were taught to express their feel- ings. Maybe one of these students would become the next George Eastman or Pi- casso. You want me to do what? Miss Horton gives John Ferring suggestions on how to bring out the best qualities from his drawing. 1 If only the ruler wouldn't move!

Science! This year, lrmo's science department offered such di- verse courses as general science, physical science, biology, chemistry, physics, psy- chology, and sociology. In beginning Biology and Advanced Bi- ology, one studied the life of humans, ani- mals, and plants. Some of the many ways the teachers transmitted information about Biology to their students were lectures, lab work, and demonstration. The devices the teachers used were labs, kits, and games. These proved to be comprehend- able by most students. The students who took these courses had to go through the exhiliration and the torture of disecting. While others were working with disect- ing tools, Chemistry students were busy with test tubes and bunson burners. Mix- ing and combining chemicals, testing sub- stances and proving theorems were a few of the things that the student who chose Chemistry had to accomplish.

To get the presses roll- ing, sponsor Karen Flowers, editor-in-chief Mark Horine, and Kim Brierley attended an October workshop. This was an honor for the Stinger since this was an invita- tion only workshop and only ten schools from around the east coast were included. Dr. Mario Garcia, a leading contemporary design writer, headed these exclusive ses- sions. Also during October the Stinger re- ceived an All-State rating in 1981 by the South Carolina Scholastic Press Associ- ation and a superior by South-Eastern In- ter Scholastic Press Association. Many Story of the Months were awarded to the Stinger. I think everyone's goal is to be All-Southern this year. The paper really deserves it. was Mark Horine's feeling. Yes, October was a busy month. The Stinger was recognized among the top five in the country in the National Beta Club Journal which placed them in com- petition for the National Award.

Some of them were Council Corner by Danny Westerkam, Sports Eye by David McCollam, and i'Re-Markable People by Mark Horine, which included such people as Captain Telegram and Miss South Carolina, Jill Rakin. How were the journalism students pre- pared for such work? The first step was to take Journalism I. The first year was spent learning the basics of writing, layout style, photography, and editing the news- paper. The Journalism I students pub- lished a news bureau which gave them the chance to have their work published. Journalism II was the year for them to do the real thing and be a part of putting the paper together. This was a year of new experiences, said Fred West, chief photographer. I had the chance to be a part of a professional publication. The Stinger was not an easy course in which one could obtain an easy credit. It was a student publication which gave a chance to show what he was made of. What did you say?

Beth Johns was the chairperson and organized everything from the interviews to the girls' numbers. She, with the help of the staff produced the pageant.

And since this time the Career Center has proven itself to be more than just a good neighbor to lrmo High School. With the first floor of the main building not being able to be used during the first semester, many of the classes regularly scheduled in this building had to be trans- ported to the Career Center. Every student had his own future job intrest, and the luckier students found that the Career Center offered many of their job related courses. ln the business world the classes that were offered was Business Math, Typing, Business law and principals, Shorthand, Office Precedures and Accounting. For those students interested in techni- cal careers recieved training in Auto Me- chanics, Building and Construction, Elec- tricity, Welding and Fabrication, Concrete and Masonry, Air Conditioning and Heat- ing and Engineering Drawing.

No, it was not a million-armed monster, but all were ac- complished by Irmo athletics. After a slow start, the football team turned the season around and went all the way to the AAAA playoffs. The girls' Cross-Country team were the state champs and the boys finished third in the state. The basketball, volleyball and soccer teams each had great seasons while the baseball and ten- nis teams proved to opponents that Irmo was a tough contender. The other athletic teams all showed that Irmo class and pride at whatever comptition they attended. The competitors counted on spirit, guts, skill and determination to win at their endeavors. But they also relied upon the support of fans and followers. The spectators played an important role in letting the players know that they were pulling for another Irmo victory.

Although they were a very young group, Coach Mauldin says they were a dedicated and hard-working bunch, and he is looking forward to hav- ing them back next season.The strength of this team lay in the distance events in which the Yellow Jackets excelled. The highlight of the season was provided by Clayton Gibbs. She won three distances events in the State Meet. She also ran the fastest time in the 1600 meter and 3200 meter events ever recorded by girls in the history of South Carolina girls' track! The Yellow Jackets finished the season with three wins and one loss. They were runner-up in the Region 3-AAAA Conference.

Yes, it was three hours a day during season and up to the golfer off season. The team was made up of sophomores, juniors, and one senior. Irmo payed for most of the players' equipment. The school furnished golfing bags, golf balls, and food and hotel accomodations when playing away games. Players were required to have their own clubs. Golfing clubs cost an average of four-hundred dollars, however, some play- ers had over one-thousand dollars invested in clubs and accessories. Golfing shoes could have cost anywhere from fifty-five to two-hundred dollars. Cold weather, rain, and extreme heat conflicted with the golfers and their game but the team came out of the season with a record of 30 and 6.

The Varsity Baseball team was just as serious about their game as the Major League clubs. Students could always depend on walking down the hill to the baseball diamond and watching the team strike up another win on a hot sum- mer night. The players made hitting a small round ball with a wooden or metal bat look easy. Not only were students constant fans of the team but the parents of team members were always involved. Occassionally parents could get a little over anxious during a game but it was all part of the fun. lrmo residents got a taste of the sport too as the park was situated directly across the street from Emory Lane houses. Many a homeowners peeked through the curtains to see what all the cheering was about. It was about the team's record of 13 and 2. No Hitter!

These boy's standards for baseball were not second rate, they may not have been quite as popular, but they displayed a fine season of baseball. These boys didn't practice any lighter or shorter. Playing as the junior varsity teams helped them to work that much harder so that soon, they too, would be playing 'lin the big league. Sophomore Steve Johnson said, I have played junior varsity baseball for two years now and l can't remember a team and coaching staff so unified.

It was faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap foul plays in a single bound . . . Look! Out on the field, it was a bird, it was a plane, No! It was an lrmo refer- ee! They always contemplated and finally came to a fair decision, Men of justice, they always saw it the fair way, Everyone did not always agree with them, but they really did know best. Of course, they were only human. Action in sports was faster than ever this year. Perhaps they stopped to bat an eyelash or scratch their arm, maybe even they kneeled to tie their shoe laces. It seemed that then was when there would be a misconception as to whether or not the referee lmore com- monly known as the ref l was playing with a full deck! Referees at lrmo, as well as at any oth- er high school were relied upon a great deal to see that rules were enforced and that the games were played fairly. They frequently did not receive as much credit as they deserved. After all, how many people could have held their own against two teams, each consisting of hot, tired, and devoted players? And, all of them were only trying to help boost their school's pride with another victory. Despite all the arguments with coaches, players, and fans, referees were appreci- ated. After all of these years, everyone realized that next to Superman and Moth- er Nature, a referee was definitely too strong to be fooled. At least, most of the time!! Getting into the action.

The team practiced for at least two hours each day and many times were required to practice on the week- ends. Hard practice paid off. The team finished high in the state finals. They brought prestige to a sport that had long been overshadowed by other girls' sports. lt's true, to be a team as highly ranked as this one was, team members had to be skilled in teamwork, techniques, following advice from the coaching staff. However, this is not to say that the girls had no other interests. Team members were in- volved in other team sports, academic clubs, and other extracurricular organiza- tions. The girls on the team made it through the season with a successful record and the friendship shared by allies in competition.

There were two kinds of meets. One kind was the State meet in which all high school teams in the state were invit- ed. The second kind was the invitational meet. Only a few teams were invited to this type of meet. The competition was usually better and awards were often giv- en. Don't think all of this glamour was free. Runners did have a small finance re- sponsibility. The school payed for uni- forms and most equipment but runners were required for meals while out of town, souvenires, t-shirts from different il' meets and of course, shoes. The best shoes varied from runner to runner but popular brands were Nike, Adidas, Pony, and Etonic. Runners had to be prepared to pay over fifty dollars in some cases for shoes.

Girls had invaded the base- ball diamond but the girls' original answer to baseball was the game of softball. Unlike baseball, softball had not yet been infiltrated by members of the oppo- site sex. The girls on the team did well with their game. They had a combination of teamwork and playing skill. Make no mis- take. The girls showed just as much tal- ent as the guys even though a softball is twice as big as a baseball. The team members' day started out with Wheaties. Then off to school to perfect their off the field skills. Once out of school, the girls went straight to the softball diamond for a long, tough, prac- tice. The team members learned to re- spect each other, their coaches, and most of all their opponents. The preparations before a game were strenuous. They started with stretching, jogging, and finally pre-game instructions from Coach Ann Fullerton. The long hours of practice showed in the games. They carried on Irmo's winning ways and showed the pride which all Irmo students have. Putting everything into her swing, Peggy Skip' per tries for a home run during a softball game. Safe!

With all the legal land illegall holds and pins it was easy to get confused. But it was obvi- ous that the boys from Irmo really knew what they were doing.

Size was very important, but since they wrestled in specific weight classes, there was no fear of wrestling someone much bigger.

Everyone sought the perfect physique. According to anyone, this was the perfect way to attract members of the opposite sex. People jogged, exercised, sweated, and stretched into shape. One way to get rid of unwanted flab and to gain strength and muscle definition was by 'Lworking out. There were many locations that a dedi- cated athlete, such as the ones from Irmo could go to. One of the first and most popular of these was Nautilus Fitness Centers. Another to appear on the scene and to become a real hangout was The Courthouse. Girls also desired to have perfect proportions. Places like Spa Lady were exclusive to ladies who wanted the hourglass figure they so longed for. Athletes and other school members needed the convenience of these places close to home. They found the Irmo weightroom ideal. For this reason they didn't turn to the Scarsdale Diet, they turned to weights. Besides keeping in shape, weightlifting was put to use in competition by some athletes. Irmo did not have a competitive team in weightlifting but the sport was popular on the Olympic level. Part of the secret behind lrmo's athletic excellence and great looks can be traced to weightlifting.

Perhaps if one was new to lrmo High School, they just might find it hard to ad- just. ln fact, everyone seemed to get a fresh start at the beginning of a new year. However, there was ONE exception. As one might have expected, the 1981-82 lrmo High School varsity football team was certainly not new on the block! They knew how hard other teams would be playing, and this made them drive even harder. Having been the defending state cham- pions, the team found it quite a struggle trying to live up to the previous year's reputation. Even though they didn't cap- ture the defending title for the second consecutive year, they had a fine season Wind me up! Quaterback Rodney Williams has the team fired up and ready to go. ending in the playoffs. Perhaps it came with prestige and pride, but lrmo had built a name for themselves. Whenever they came onto the field, all eyes were upon them. No play was too advanced, no move was too com- plex. Any move that was considered to be so outstanding was only typical of what an lrmo team could accomplish. lrmo has always been a powerhouse! They saw no reason to try and change tradition. Not only were they awesome in any one game, but they proved them- selves to be winners in every respect. Having been so fantastic to us all, one could see why the 1981-82 Fighting Yel- low Jackets were evidently worth looking at. No. Tony Deflice is not kicking the habit!

For this reason students planned ahead, whether it was to request a night off from work, or just to try and reserve the car! The excitement and desire to win in the crowds probably could not equal that felt by the team. They always seemed to make the best of any situation and always played an excellent game. They had many new young additions to the offense as well as on the defense. The team was never at a loss for unity or morale. lt sent a shiver up many peo- ple's spines to see the team jumping around and patting each other on the back just to boost each other up a little. Along with all of the games and affairs that went on afterwards, came the pres- tige and pride that went along with being a rough and tough football player. Per- haps it wasn't an easy life, but they made us proud! And with good reason! They were the the boys from Irmo!

Basketball is a tiring sport. But, by playing actual games earlier than the varsity boys, the girls were the ones who could catch a little more shuteye. This did not mean that the crowds were any smaller than at any other game. It only meant that the alarm clocks rang sooner, practice was sooner, games were earlier, and victories were earlier. For this reason, it was common to find a girls' team member sacked out and dreaming. The girls had a fine season of 4 and 3, a record like that made their dedication and devotion towards their sport just a lit- tle more evident to all of us. lrmo's opponents are tough and the team meme bers compensate by working and practicing hard.

The team had a record of 6 and 1. Their playing season depended on practicing and train- ing, team work and more practicing and training. lt wasn't unusual to see the team practicing two hours after school and on weekends and then going home to shoot a few with Dad. Players ate, slept, and breathed basketball. When they vveren't J gn eating, sleeping, and breathing basketball, they were eating, sleeping and breathing things like Algebra, English and World History. Players had to keep a grade average of 8501s to stay on the team. When the basketball season over, a lot of 35 tired players caught up on some rest. 34 39 Concentration!

Players practiced from one to two hours after school and often on weekends. Being a girls team didn't put any restric- tions on players. The girls practiced, played and won just as any boys team ever did. ln fact the only thing seperating the girls team from the boys' team was the sex of the players. Girls were taught the same techniques, practiced the same drills, and played by the same rules as the boys. While striving to be the best, lit- tle time was left for leisure in a twenty- four hour day. An ordinary person might have a schedule of going to school, prac- ticing, studying, going to bed, and then waking up to begin the cycle once more. But not the girls on lrmo's team. Players had many hobbies during season and out of season, they participated on other teams. They were involved in track, cross country, tennis, swimming, and of course many of the academic clubs. The girls' JV Basketball team met the season's chal- lenge succesefully. Out of my way! The two teams struggle for an- other crucial point. When I say jump, you say how high! Most team members could always jump high enough to score the point.

Whether it's being a senior at Irmo High, a freshman at Irmo Middle or a fifth grad- er at Irmo Elementary, it's always better when being the eldest or best in rank. Being on the Varsity Boys' Basketball team was no exception. It was a chance to be tops in the ranks of basketball. Higher than J.V., higher than B-team, varsity sports always carried a certain prestige. The Varsity Boys' Basketball team did well in its teamwork, techniques, and ability to listen and understand the coaching staff. With all these factors be- hind them, it was easy to see that they had all of our support. Look, up in the sky! The game of basketball re- quires concentration, skill, and teamwork. 138 SportsfBoys' Varsity Basketball IHS , :EK OPPONENT Newberry 68 53 71 61 73 73 44 45 42 57 42 59 73 60 31 33 59 50 Spring Valley Spring Valley Richland Northeast Midland Valley North Augusta Aiken Orangeburg-Wilkinson Brookland-Cayce Airport Lexington Midland Valley North Augusta Aiken Orangeburg-Wilkinson Brookland-Cayce Airport Lexington Keep your eye on the ball!

Not that ,y people have accomplished it, so that, is a feat in itself, especially at Irmo. In all the time that I have played soccer for Irmo, I have only been on one state championship team and that was my freshmen year. Having this experience, I think some of the players do probably do look up to me probably because I shared the highest scoring position with Mitch McCarty last year, and also because I currently lead again this year. Often injuries kept players from partici- pating in regular season games. Junior Jay Eaddy suffered an unfortunate injury in late January causing him to be put out of the season. Defensive player Brett Fuller was one of the luckier players. Al- though he was injured, he recovered in time. When asked how he felt about be- ing able to recover and play he said, It's great playing on the Irmo soccer team be- cause it's so prestigious to play with such talented guys. After sitting out on the bench, you wish you could come back, es- pecially to the best team in the state! We are ffl! It is really great to have such wonderful leadership like that of Monroe Reese! With attitudes like the ones that the soccer players had, one could easily see why soccer season made Irmo just a little more obviously wonderful!

Although dedication was important and soccer was a time consuming sport, play- ers managed to find time, time to carry on an almost normal life. They could study a little, go out on dates, maybe even play another sport. One such exam- ple was Scott Brown, When asked how he felt about playing football along with soc- cer he stated, It really does not take away from either to play two sports. Al- though it is tough, you do get discouraged and behind, but I would not want to give up one for the other. Scott said that he really enjoyed soccer and that he would like to play in college if he receives an of- fer. He also said of the team that This year's an exception. We really have a team. Anybody could come out for a rest and still feel confident that the job could be done by any one of us. When asked how he felt about the state championship he said with much enthusiasm, l want it.

Was it the bricks that comprise the building itself? Was it a pile of asbestos shaped like a school? Could it have been stacks of homework and test papers? The an- swers are no, NO, and NO! respectively. The thing that made up Irmo was PEOPLE! They came in all shapes, colors and sizes. With a versatile range of interests and personalities peo- ple contributed themselves to the melting pot of human beings that came to be called Irmo High. But were students and teachers the only people in that pot? No, no, no! Of course, students and teachers made up the majority of the population at Irmo High, but also included were the administra- tion, guidance councilors, secretaries, janitors, cooks, coaches and every other person on the high school staff. With such a variety of people making up Irmo High, it was obvious that it was not just a building of bricks, asbestos and papers. Irmo was people: people, even cooks and janitors, who could proudly say, Look at me, I'm an Irmo personll' Helping students with their lock- ers is only one of the many duties of Mr. Earl Lovelace, Here he dis- cusses a problem with a student.

One of the privileges the seniors lost was their very own parking lot. At the beginning of the year they had to share parking spaces with underclass- men. At the beginning of November when the new parking lot was opened Dr, Sprawls announced that the parking lot in front of the stadium would be open i'Seniors parking lot only. Although it looked like the seniors were not go- ing to get any privileges, they ended up slowly progressing to the end of the year acquiring more and more privileges daily. of '82 lm Did you hear . . .?

No it wasn't a rock concert it was one of Irmols high school pep ral- lies. Almost every Friday morning during football season Irmo had another pep rally. The pep ral- lies ranged from skits done by the cheerleaders to pep talks from some of the football players. We couldn't forget about the lrmo High School band and our number one drum line with their dynamite solo routine. Also the flag and rifle lines and their superior performances. During some of the pep rallies the students and teachers got involved in many different games like the peanut butter sandwich eating contest, kiss- the-pig contest, spirit chain and many others. As the music started to fade away students slowly started emptying the bleachers and the cheerleaders started to gather all of their pom pons. The gym is quiet again until next Friday's pep rally.

Graduation was a present within itself but to add to the excitement of graduation. Seniors got lots of presents. Cars, luggage, alarm clocks, towels, umbrellas, presto-burgers, and anything that would be useful in a college dormitory room were among the most popular presents. However, money remained to be the most popular present. The money came in handy for lots of reasons. lt was very helpful in paying for the first week at the beach. It also helped in paying tution fees at college. Most of the presents came from students' fam- ilies. The better gifts like cars and money came from the students' parents. The other kinds of presents came from cousins, great aunts and grandparents, They were appreciated just as well as all the others. l l 4 l lteve Hatchell-Basket all 11,125 NHS 11,125 eta Club 9,10,11,125 Latin .lub 10,11,125 Football 10, ,15 Student Council 9. ohn Hax-Soccer 9,10, 1,12 Cap., Beta Club 9, ierman Club 9,10,11. racie Hayden-NHS 11, P5 Beta Club 105 Flagline 1,125 Band 9,105 French onor Soc. 10,11 Sec., ench Club 10,11.

Derrick Livingston- FBLA5 SAE, School vs. Job Long hours and open books, that's just one of the many things that seniors had to deal with. Many seniors had to concentrate on holding down a part-time job and trying to achieve enough cred- its to graduate! That was a challenge when the hours that were scheduled to work required them to close and to take a test the next day. Parents were constantly complaining that school should be more important than a job, but at the same time nagging that the car was out of gas and that if one wanted to drive one had to put gas in, That proved impossible unless one had a job with a steady income. 442' Trying hard to concentrate on class.

Breaking way Leaving the nest was something many seniors thought about in the 1981-82 year. There were many new opportunities and doors opened for the new young adults. The last year is usually thought of as being the easiest and best year. Most seniors leave early from school and have fairly easy courses. The seniors generally had more privileges than any other classes. But for the 1981-82 seniors this was a different year. The class of 82 was the first to be kept back at the Middle School. They had to wait that extra year to go to high school. Next they lost their senior parking lot. All classes were allowed to park in it. Then came the doing away with lunchfstudy halls that all juniors and sophomores were required to attend. But the year was not a total bust. It had its good points to. After seeing how upset the seniors were about losing their parking lot, it was given back to them after the new one was finished. Also there was the excitement of order gradu- ation announcements, going to the Bahamas, or the graduation itself. nh ' You want to apply. Ms. Cox assists 's One more turn.

Preppy was a style that was difficult to ignore. One could have even found a preppy who was disguised as a now- prep . Disguised preppies had found it hard to cover up their debutants slouch and lock jaw lwhich developed into one of the arts for preppiesl. Many of lrmo's preps could be found on the an- nual staff, newspaper staff, Key Club, Civinettes, and Laniappe. One could have been sure that they would find preppies on the Appalachian ski slope, Wildewood Riding Academy and Lake Mur- ray Yachting Club. Why Kim Harne had been known to say being a prep was just A.T.D.! Really, everything was too cute! lfor real, don't you just love add-a-beads'?l Of course one must have bought all clothes from L.L.

Saturday Night Live, ridays, and HSCTV 90 were basical- xon the same format using several indi- lual skits featuring outrageous comedy. ,all mentioned the original Saturday tht Live scored the hightest ratings. iwever, when the leads in the entertain- :nt field realized the cast's talent, mem- fs dropped one by one to go on to oth- territories in entertainment, primarily tion pictures. After a point, an entirely lv cast was brought in that started the pson with major problems. Critics 'eed that the material just was not fun- and writers turned to vulagarity to ke up for it. At the end of one pro- m, one of the cast members expressed an unrehearsed four-letter indiscretion which cost him his job and caused the producers to take a serious look at the problems. A few more new cast members were brought in and totally new writers were hired. This third version was being aired during the '81-182 school year. Saturday Night Live was broadcast on the NBC network which was showing HSCTV 90 on Friday nights after the Tonight Show. SCTV was different from other late night shows in that it's format was based on a television station. The skits were TV shows that were aired on the imaginary network 90. ABC's Fri- days featured musical guests as did its competition. On Sunday night, reruns of the original SNL were shown. With all the variety students had plenty of time to de- velop a sense of humor.

A lot of seniors used to drive to school in a car they had gotten for their sixteenth birthday or their parents' car. One of the few privileges that the seniors got was that they had their own parking lot. They had a sticker, besides the original one, that said that they were a senior. Most seniors leave early because of jobs so they needed cars. Also many students got rides with their boyfriends or girlfriends. If boyfriend or girlfriends failed, one could always depend on good old mom and dad. But no matter the way they got to school, one could always find the seniors here bright and early to be sure that they got a good parking place. Most seniors were sure to be found cruising in their car or sitting in the parking lot. H 180 PeoplefSeniors l can't fall asleep! A student in the library finishes some last minute homework.

We've all been in the unlucky situation of hav- ing walked past a classroom door at the moment of the ringing bell. You had two choices at that point: 1. Speed ahead and go around the crashing door or 2. you could have remained in your posi- tion and you would have been hit by the opened door followed by being trampled and stampeded by oncoming students. Just what was the mystery behind the speed- ing door?' Why were students so anxious to leave the classroom? Some suggested possibilities might have been. 1. Students were anxious to muscle through the conglomeration of bodies which seemed to have been centralized in the locker area. 2. Students wished to get home quickly to do homework assignments which were still fresh in their minds. 3. Students wanted to meet their friends in the halls. An unlikely choice. 4. Students were dissatisfied or bored in their classroom situation. For what ever the cause of boredom it, along with the other possibilities mentioned may have been behind the after class rush.

While I was at my locker, I got my hand stuck in it and cut my finger, Then I had to run to the health room and get a band-aid. I remembered I had to go to the bathroom. When I washed my hands in the bath- room, the band-aid fell off of my finger and it started bleeding. I ran back to the health room, tripped on the carpet, and sprained my ankle. The sprained ankle and the bleeding finger put me in shock in the middle of the hall. I might still be there now if it wasn't for Dr. Sprawls carrying me to class, and that is why I'm late for class. This may have been a little far-fetched, but stu- dents gave excuses like and unlike this one for a variety of reasons: for being late for class to miss- ing a test. There was an excuse, real or not, for just about everything. The news can be very interesting, especially when it is read upside down, Jeff Wheeler makes a poor excuse for studying.

There were new posters around the lrmo campus daily. The best way to inform students and faculty mem- bers of something was by posters. Posters were colorful, creative, original, and said just about ev- erything imaginable. Some examples of posters were Buy your sweetheart a homecoming mum, Come see Godspell, Come to a young life meetingf' and Happy Birthday Kim. The trouble with posters was that they never got taken down after the event took place or ei- ther they got torn down five minutes after they got put up. Over all, posters played a large part in the life of lrmo students. After all, how else could almost two thousand people be informed of so many events? A movie for Journalism students.

For otha 3:00 meant the beginning of a long afternoon ii sports activities, academic activities, various clu and many other activities to keep the stude and teachers busy. At 2:55, one could see and feel the anticipat mounting in students and faculty. Sitting on edge of their chairs, they anxiously awaited ringing of the bell that signaled the end of anot' school day. 3:00. The bell rings, the heavy metal do open to release the raging students from the called jail.

Books on the floor, books on the bed, books all over! Papers on the floor, papers on the bed, pa- pers on the dresser, papers all over! This was the typical mess a junior's bedroom was in during term paper time. The term paper was a long, grueling paper that was required for the juniors to write in one semes- ter. It was a tedious job that took a lot of time and many trips to the library. lt was the confusion of using the right words and trying to put them on paper. All of the juniors at Irmo hoped that they would get to do their term paper at the beginning of the year so that when it got warm, they could go to the lake instead of the library. The English teachers at Irmo broke down the requirements for the term paper. It was broken down into three partsg the outline, the notecards, and the paper itself. The three parts were graded separately and the junior was glad when it was fi- nally over. It doesn't matter to me! Junior Greg Foskey doesn't seem to mind having to write his term paper.

The teacher introduced him to the class. Who is he? Why, he's the new student at Irmo. He quietly took his seat and realized that the entire class was watching him. He wonders if his hair is sticking up or if he has a moustache from breakfast, or if his zipper has come unzipped. This was probably the most nerve-racking day of his life. After all, it wasn't every day that he had to suffer the anxiety of being a new student. Finally, it is time for lunch. He was halfway through that traumatic day. After he got his lunch, he had to decide who to sit with. He was relieved when some boys in his second period class waved him over. They exchanged introductions and start- ed talking. Soon they were laughing and having a good time. The new student had already become a part of Irmo. Paying close attention, Jeannette Fagtanic listens to her English teacher's lecture. 2-l-2 . . .

Muscles, tight jeans, feathered hair, a suave smile, such is the description of many members of the male gender who seemed to be magnetic to- wards girls. Love at Irmo was existent, and once again, love was superior in priority. Love seemed to be an illness. Many students saw someone a single time and somehow managed to have all the symptoms: queasiness and dizziness whenever that fellow strutted by. Gradually, they began to talk, and maybe he even walked her to her locker while she felt like a queen. The phone calls soon started, and she finally had a date. Then came the giggling. This was found throughout Irmo, where or whenever one saw a guy or guys. They giggled over boys, they giggled over phone calls, exams, food, or anything else. The typical date was full of giggles. In order to make the guy feel good, she had to giggle at ev- erything he said. sometimes, this turned the guy off, but most of the time it only set one more fire ablaze at lrmo High.

Students reported to the slammer instead of homeroom and were Hallowed to stay until 7th period. While in the slammer, students enjoyed many exciting activites. They did homework for other classes, took test, and were not allowed to go to sleep. For the most part, slammer visitors were monitered all day. There was even a small bathroom in the portable. To most students, slammer was a just punish- ment for crimes committed. But for others, it was a welcome break from classes. ln fact, some en- joyed it so much that they went back again.

After most students turned fifteen, the first place they visited was the State Highway Dept. lt was first for the beginners' permit test and then after a two week waiting period, the road test for a restricted license allowing them to drive by themselves during the day. Driving was a privelige and a skill. To teach students the basics and the techniques of driving, lrmo had a course in driv- ers' education, Drivers' Education taught students how to ma- neuver cars, understand the meaning of road signs, and know how to handle a critical situation. In addition to this, many students were able to get a discount on their car insurance. Besides these skills, another benefit was the fact that parents felt a little relieved after the class was over. They were also relieved to see a small- er insurance check. 208 PeoplefSophomores ' 5 x 2 vs l 3 'H tml If 'K if P 4 X ,... , X - ' ' :ff I gb , air' A ' , I lr ff Q 0 v- Q - r tg, viii! . to 4 KW 4 i of .1 X v , , 5 it - ' is.. - i 1 ' vs A , N . x 5 , Carla Bowers Paul Bowersock Cathy Boyce Sharon Boyd Michele Boyne Scott Bradshaw Sam Brannon Nancy Braun Todd Brooks Grace Brown Lisa Brown Merewynn Brown Tony Bryant Lori Buchman Ann Buford Brent Burch Susan Burgess Stuart Burgin David Burkett Heidi Burleson Jill Burris Scott Burriss Alice Busching Scot Bytnar Joey Cain Sandy Cairnes Tim Cairnes Kelly Callaway Kelly Calvert Michael Campbell Brian Cannon Mike Capell Beth Carpenter Elizabeth Carroll Lisa Carroll Marie Cartrette Jodie Carullo Phil Case Anne Castles Pete Catoe Shelly Chapman Kelli Chitty Joe Christian Carol Clamp Bryan Clark Eric Clark Randy Clark Jason Clevenger Kim Coble Natalie Coble Doug Coggins Missy Combs Michael Cornelius Joe Covey PeoplefSophomores 209 Scott Covington Rhonda Craft Clair Craver Eddie Crim Vicki Crook Connie Crowley Brian Cummings Tom Davis Danny Debenport David DeBruhl Joel DeBruhI Bob DeLoach Suzette DeMasi Andy Derajtys Denise Derrick Matt Derrick Scott Derrick Tim Derrick Chuck Dickerson Ronnie Diegel Darren Doar Kristin Dominick David Donovan Karen Doolittle Gary Downs Julie Drayton Dee Dee Driggers Pat Duegaw Beth Dukes Eddie Duncan Carole DuPree Melissa Dutton Shannon Eagar Deanne Easterling David Edwards Cyndi Ehasz Catherine Elfe Paul Elias Chris Ellington Christina Elliott Ron Ellis Tim Ellisor Derek Eng Lefric Envvall Cecilia Evans Jerry Evans Lisa Evans Melody Evans Gregg Fabrizio Jeanette Fagtanac Allan Farrell Ricky Faulk Joey Faust Mike Fendrick 210 PeoplejSophomores l'm putting my foot down about it.

No F's or ' , Please On a given day, each one nine weeks apart, a certain electricity could be felt in the air. It was the day chosen to be report card day. Students were anxious about the letters, numbers and com- ments on the small pieces of paper known as the Irmo High School report card. Students were given marks in several areas. Letter grades were as follows: A-93-100 B-85-92 C-77-84 D-70-76 F-Below 70 l-Incomplete W-Withdrew Number grades for effort were given on a range of one to three, or satisfactory to unsatisfactory, Conduct grades were given on a letter basis. Though some students dreaded report card day, most had little to worry about because Irmo has always been highly rated academically. Listen and listen good.

The hours between 8:00 am and 3:00 pm were busy with work and socializing. All this work and socializing did not come completely naturally. Stu- dents used this time between 5:00 am and 8:00 am for preparation for the day ahead. A piercing buzz exploded from the alarm clock as a hand tried to push a lever or at least muffle the sound. Then that same hand and its connected body lay in bed waiting for the strength to rise. The hardest part was over once the body wan- dered into the shower, Gallons of hot water rush- ing over the body proved to be an effective stimu- lus. After the shower, it was only a matter of time and racing against the clock. Most showers lasted an average of 20-30 minutes, if possible.

A girl's of course, was her curlers and warpaint later to be applied to the face! A day was destined to be discouraging if they forgot to brush their teeth. The next adventurous excursion was off to the closet to pick out the apparel of the day, even though this process was sometime hurried. This could lead to lack of confidence or better yet, a bad mood. Last but not least, there were the alternatives of how to get to school. A student could either drive to school or ride the bus. Whatever the decisions made in the morning, they often determined whether or not the student would smile or just dream of tomorrow!

Whether it was, Hey, he's good-looking or UI want to ask her out.'l Everybody gossiped at sometime or another. A perfect subject for girls to talk about, wheth- er in the locker room or anywhere was soap op- eras. They often left many people's heads spin- ning from all of the episodes that they had gawked over. On the contrary, it seemed that guys could waste made time talking about what a good time they had had on a date, or what kind of chew'l was best. They found this was an excellent way to astound administrators or to make the girls anx- ious to leave, often with dizzy heads or queasy stomachs. Whether they wanted to gossip or not, most lrmo students were found to be infalliable. This wasn't anything new that other students at other schools didn't do. Irmo students just had to keep .i.?'F1. in practice, and they did just fine! lil But mom, please!

Once again the Farmers' Almanac predicted a white Christmas and once again it didn't come to pass. ln fact, the temperatures before Christmas and even shortly after were balmy for that time of the year. Everyone knows that if youlre looking for snow in Irmo, you ought to look in January or February. January did bring a heaping helping of Mr. Knowzit's favorite frozen precipitation-snow. Up to four inches fell in some areas and students were out of school for three days. On the first day of school closure, there was no snow but icy road conditions kept most vehicles off the streets. By the second day, there was a white balnket of snow on the lawn but it came at a bad time for students. Exams were scheduled as follows! Exams scheduled for Jan. 14 and 15 had to be postponed. On the day before the winter storm hit students were told to take home all their books because if an exam was scheduled on the day they returned to school it would be given. Howev- er it was decided to allow one day for review be- fore exams started. The worst part of it all was that the district decided to wait until 5:00 a.m. each morning to announce whether or not they would be closed. Most students thought, Well there's no way they open today but if they do, l'll be laying in bed missing my exams. So everyone had to wake up at the regular time just in case school was open and turn on the radio to find out. It was impossible to sleep late! Though Irmo had its problems those problems were relatively small compared to the rest of the nation. The lowest temperature in Irmo was about eight degrees. In parts of the North, forty-nine below zero was com- mon. For America it was the coldest winter in his- tory. Over one-hundred deaths resulted from the extreme cold and bad weather not including a Florida bound 737 jet which crashed into the icy waters of the Potomac River. Would next winter bring even colder weather? Most people were un- certain if the lce Age was approaching. No more homework please! Looking discouraged, Sue Ahrens looks as if she has done enough class-work for the rest of the year. Hurry, hurry.! Evy Yeo hurries to finish her English assign- ment before the bell rings.

Icy roads and snow postponed exams and gave stu- dents a final chance to bone-up on studying. Studying was an art with many variations. Look- ing over old tests and notes and rewriting them was a classic. Recording notes and sleeping with them playing was a more modern method. The most used method was cramming. Cramming means getting as many facts as possible in a very short time on the night before the exam. Some students did very well on exams while others did poorly.

Despite the 35 m.p.h. speed limit for school buses, the drivers continued for another year to speed students home from school. The big yellow vehicles were most visible in the mornings and afternoons when they were in full use. Local elementary and middle schools relied on high school drivers to transport their students to and from school. The buses were also used for field trips and other school related activities. Safety was the key factor in school bus trans- portation, and with the drivers' knowledge of the road, students were taken safely to school and back home 180 days of the year.

Students expressed spirit with but- tons, shirts, ribbons, banners, and pep rallies. At pep rallies, students were seen yelling, clapping, cheering, and showing how much they really loved Irmo. Pep rallies were also a time to hear special announcements from Dr. Sprawls. Pep rallies were only a small way to see school spirit. Spirit was also shown by adults and young children.

Studying was a major as- pect in the life of an Irmo Student. Students stud- ied for anything from a pop quiz, to a major test, to an exam. Some students studied in the library, some at home, some on the school bus, and some in the halls. Some students studied more than others, and it usually showed by the grades they made. But, there were some lucky students who hardly ever studied and always managed to make good grades. Although studying was important at Irmo, it wasn't as bad as it seemed. After the studying was finally finished, and all of the tests taken, there was always plenty of time for fun, Parents were also big helpers at Irmo. They came to football, baseball, and soccer games in the rain and helped cheer the team on. They of- fered to help with homework as much as they could, and they let you borrow the car when you really needed it. Parents also helped students by lending them money or putting gas in the car. Parents sometimes seemed not to care, but they always helped students by doing what they thought would be best for them.

No, students were not studying religion there but more accurately, foreign language. Due to space lost from the tem- porarily defunct first floor, foreign language stu- dents were taken by bus and occupied ten rooms of the generous ministery. The rooms varied in size and told of the Sunday School classes held there weekly. Allowing for travel time to and from the main campus, periods at the church were shortened. Daily coverage was limited but over-all accomplish- ment never suffered. If nothing else, classes at the church added vari- ety to the routine of consecutive scheduling. Homeroom in the Clothing and Textiles room. Or is it the Home Economics room? For the first time, some students had homeroom in the Career Center. Some of these students had never even walked through the Career Center before. The teachers at the Career Center helped out by having homerooms since some teachers had to have classes at the McGregor Church. Their help was greatly appreciated by all. The Career Center also helped by having lunchduty, lending their rooms to others, and much more, This seemed to bring the teachers closer to the students and helped in making everyone at Irmo High a big family. 2 ..s 45 11 'er-H+ i 1 ? r. - I ...av- ln order to get in touch with Dr. Sprawls, Coach Wit lets his fingers do the walking.

A place to eat and a common meeting ground was the cafeteria. The cafeteria offered a regular lunch for eighty-five cents and an a la carte lunch for various prices. Common items on the regular lunch menu included hamburgers, fried chicken, and fish sandwiches. A la carte featured pizza, grilled cheese sandwiches, french fries and other student favorites. Some students who decided not to eat at all still came for the conversation. The best place to discuss the day's trials was across the lunchroom tables. One topic discussed might have been the con- troversial lunchfstudy hall problem. Early in the year, Dr. Sprawls removed the lunchfstudy hall procedure. A lunch students were put on their honor to leave in time to clear the cafeteria for B lunch students. When this didnit seem to be working, Dr. Sprawls threatened to reinstate lunchfstudy hall.

Apart from the aca- demic side of school there were clubs, clubs and more clubs to participate in. For foreign language buffs, organizations special- izing in the lingo from far-away lands offered a taste of the exotic. Athletic clubs appealed to some students while academic groups such as math and science clubs were favored by others. lntellects found their niche in honor clubs such as National Honor Society and Quill and Scroll. No matter what the interests of a student were, he could find a club that shared them. Whether the organization was academic, honorary, or for just plain fun, almost every student had an opportunity to say, Look at me and all the clubs l'm in!', ZATIONS 'U 'L v-.w4 w'f Ml l 1. 1 ,. , V, 1 f 1... .f'f'. 1 'i fl ii limi ANNE: N' W X 'M I K 1 f 1 I A f 'mul ff?-.

The National Honor Soci- ety students believed that it took long hours of note-taking and studying before they obtained good grades. Everyone had heard the expression People who strive for more achieve more. lrmo's National Honor Society was an example of this. All 120 members in the Honor Society had earned this re- ispectable position. They had been able to lmaintain a 93070 or more average grade for 2 years in lrmo High School. The sponsor, Mr. Walkup, was very proud of his students and their success as honor wstudents. The club sold candy during the year to raise money for scholarships. l Some other types of Honor Societies Vvere La Societe Honoraire de Francias ind La Sociedad Honoraanis Hispanica. or those who spoke and comprehended nly one language, this translated as the Spanish Honor Society and the French Honor Society. Spanish Honor Society consisted of 152 students. It's purpose was to recognize high achievement in Spanish by students of lrmo High School and to promote a growing amount of in- terest in Hispanic lSpanishl studies. Quali- fications for membership were to be main- tained a 94 average or better in the study of Spanish for a minimum of three semesters. The French Honor Society consisted of 30 members, their ideas and qualifications were similar to those of the Spanish Hon' or Society. Some members of the French and Spanish Honor Societies will recieve scholarships for their outstanding work during the year at lrmo High School. All of these Honor Societies proved to other schools that lrmo wasn't just made up of preppy students, it was rated as a very high school in academics. Nervous is why . . .

'Ima Service with a Smile It takes a very special group of people to devote so much of their time into one thing. But, that is exactly what the Irmo Civinettes did. The Civinettes was one club at Irmo that did not raise money for their own parties or activities. Yes, they raised a lot of money but not for their own use. They donated their money to such worthwhile groups as the Association of Retarded Citizens and The Kidney Foundation. You may ask, how did they raise this money? Well, they collected alu- minum cans and had them recycled. Also, when Christmas rolled around they sold fruitcakes. They also collected canned goods and donated them to those who needed it. Later in December, they gath- ered toys to be given to children through the Salvation Army. A more important factor that they con- tributed was their time. These girls, ac- Surrounded by cans?

They also held a Hal- loween Carnival for the first time this year in which they again raised money for a worthwhile group. At the beginning of the 80-81 school year, when new members needed to be chosen, they came up with a anew mem- ber project that would help them to de- cide who would be willing to work and also benefit the community. So, they helped to clean up the school grounds and St. Andrews Road. Not only were the Civinettes active dur- ing the school year, but over the summer, members attended the Civitan Citizenship meeting. On weekends they visited nurs- ing homes and the Brian Center to spread some cheer. Only one more to go, Chris Langtry and Mandy Morris breathe a sigh of relief as they finish making posters.

For years the Key Club had done many projects to lend people a hand. Following tradition, the 1981-82 school year proved to be extraordinary. This year the Key Club had approximately 51 members. The Key Club is one of the few clubs at lrmo that is sponsored by a larger or- ganization, The Key Club did many ser- vice projects to help the community. They sponsored a volleyball marathon with the Civinettes and visited many childrens' homes. They also held their annual blood drive at the school. On December 22nd they went caroling with the Civinettes.

It just wouldn't be Irmo. The same goes for what would clubs be without sponsors? Nothing. The 1981-82 year at Irmo proved to be a good year to be involved with clubs and these clubs just wouldn't have been without the dedi- cated sponsors. Sponsors were very spe- cial teachers who took time out of their free time to stay after school and orga- nize a club. Some teachers devoted as much as 3 days a week to stay after with their clubs to discuss such pressing mat- ters as fund-raising, banquets, service projects and displays. Irmo now has approximately 32 clubs and that means 32 dedicated sponsors who are the champs , Of course you understand, sweetheart. Ms, Osborne reassures senior Donna Benton on a transla- tion.

The only time the Hi- Steppers let some out was during the pep-rallies and basketball games and then everyone caught some great Irmo High School spirit. Hi-Steppers practiced every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday in a small por- table behind the school. Captain Ginger Parsons and Co-Captain Tara Caldwell worked with all the Hi-Steppers and helped them to get organized and pre- pared for the performances at pep-rallies. Throughout the year the Hi-Steppers sold candy and stickers. They also held car washes and bake sales. They raised this hard earned money to buy new uni- forms. During the summer the Hi-steppers did not lay back and relax. They were hur- ried off to the NCA Superstar Drill Team Camp with their advisor, Susan West. Ev- ery morning they rose at the crack of dawn and went to work, performing, cheering, and learning new routines. Their hard work paid off because they won 16 blue ribbons and the spirit pom-pom award. At the end of the year, the Hi-Steppers held a banquet where letters and superla- tive plaques were given out to the out- standing girls. Up, down, left, right!

The girls took pride in making it possible for the students' enthusiasm to reach an endless peak, Football games were not the only place that one could find the hard-working cheerleaders. They began by attending a mascot clinic where they raised 31,000 to pay for their uniforms. While at this clinic they taught girls iaged five years and olderl cheers and chants and selected a mascot to help out during the football season. They also attended Clemson Cheerlead- ing Clinic where they strived to be the best. There, they tossed away curlers and make-up and their devotion for their came shining through. All of their work proved to be beneficial as they earned first place and the Spirit Award. lf this was not enough, they achieved eleven superior rib- bons and teceived high honors for the top five best squad performance. Woody's War on Cancer was where they strived for Irmo and a good cause, and for the second year in a row, they succeeded. They were up mornings at 6:30 and could be found in intersections, shopping centers and neighborhoods. They put their best foot forward and they man- aged to raise 55,000 In addition to all of this there was practicing twice a week, planning pep rallies, making banners and selling ribbons and buttons. 1981 and '82 Varsity Cheerleaders kept the inspiration of students and foot- ball players all through the school year.

It was filled with excited Irmo students that popped out to begin a year full of fun and hard work for the S.A.E. club. One may ask, what did S.A.E. stand for? It stood for Students in Action, for Education. This club had 61 members that met ev- ery second Sunday in the month. Each member paid dues which were used to help finance district meetings and public service activities held during the year. The S.A.E, members put forth a lot of ef- fort to sell candy and put on dances for the students. The money was used to help pay for the S.A.E., State Convention in Myrtle Beach and also was used for charitable donations. They also donated their time to visit the homes for the aged. They had affiliations with S.C.E. and N.E.A. But this did not stop the S.A,E. A member, Connie Lybrand, served as Dis- trict Director for the first year. S.A.E. won State Talent Award at the conven- tion last year. The S.A.E. seemed to have done their best to achieve better student teacher re- lations and community service. Both the school and the community benefited from the efforts of the S.A.E. ln the year 2001 while walking down main street in New York, if one should see an Irmo High reporter featured in the New York Times, perhaps you will re- member the Irmo High Chapter or F.B.L.A. CFuture Business Leaders of Americal The F.B.L.A. had 35 working business students who met once a month, The dues were a low price of 52.50-33.50. The money was used for magazines such as: Tomorrow's Business Leader, State and District News and was also used to pay conference expenses. They had yard sales, bake sales, and candy sales to help pay for the F,B.L.A. materials. They have affiliations with members of District Two, State, Southeastern and Na- tional F.B.L.A.'s. They had members who attended officers' workshops during the summer to improve the F.B.L.A. Future Homemakers of America had 15 outstanding members. They met at 7:30 in the Career Center and at local restau- rants. Their dues were 33.00 which was used to pay for National, State and local dues. There were money raising projects which involved a series of items to help pay for community service projects, club expenses and trips. Time out!

They held their meetings once a month at the Career Center. There was a small fee of only five dollars which included national and state dues. They sold candy, candles, hats, and they even had a yard sale. This hard working ability helped them to earn around four thousand dollars! As one can see, they didn't do any poking around. Well, one could not help but wonder, What could all this money be used for?,' Well, it came in handy for holding func- tions, and paid for district and state con- ferences. lt was also used for six students to attend the National Convention in Cali- fornia. Banquets and social affairs were the members got together and had a pleasureable, but informative experience. Parents' night was held to elect the new officers. Those were: Pam Hopka-Presi- dent, Melissa Patterson-Vice-President: Trina Corley-Secretary, Shelly Brown- Treasurer, and Tracy Martini was a re- presentative. Brains of the world, that's what the Model United Nations appeared to be. The Model United Nations sponsor was Ms. Riley. There were 4 hard working members this year, they were Danny Westerkam, Scott Cummings, Crissy Woodson, and Rachelle Miller. The members of this club worked as hard as, if not more than most clubs at Irmo. They met in Ms. Riley's room two or three times a week. They also had parties and dinners at restaurants to cele- brate their success. The Model United Na- tions team enjoyed a trip to Winthrop College for a Model United Nations ses- sion that a number of high schools in the Southeast attended.

Drama had to raise money for their trip to New York, the German club sold can- dy for their trip to Busch Gardens in Vir- ginia, and the Latin club sold donuts so they could have lots of food at their par- ties and sit around and have a good time. Some clubs at Irmo did not raise mon- ey for parties or trips. They helped groups of unfortunate people, two of these clubs were the Civinettes and the Key Club. Still other clubs thrived on the future and spent a lot of their time planning it. Two of these clubs were F.B.I..A. fFuture Business Leaders of Americal and F.H.A. tFuture Homemakers of Americal.

They could not sit still for a moment of there was a chance for a good picture to be taken. Some of our photographers at Irmo felt lost without other photographers around to talk photography with. So sponsor Miss Moore devised a photography club, for any lonely photographers who wanted to learn more about their camera and how to use it. In Photography Club, students worked on a permanent collection of photo's that were framed for the school. During the year, the club members sold M8rM's to raise money for a display case for the students. Photographers worked deligently not only behind the camera but they also spent countless hours in the darkroom de- veloping pictures. The students goal was to become the photographer of the year. With the help of Miss Moore the students enjoyed the art of photography. There were some students who thought that it would be more fun to draw pic- tures than to take them. Well, have no fear because lrmo had a club just for them, the Art Club. The Art Club was made up of 15 members and they met every Tuesday at 3:15 in the art room. Mrs. Shawver, the club sponsor, and her club members worked all year to display art work done by students around the school. The Art Club also sold candy to help them pay for their large canvas painting that they painted fot the school.

That was the first time in the history of the theatre company that they had a play that just wouldn't close. The play was Godspell and what a success it was. Godspell opened in the month of October with a scheduled three perfor- mance run, but all through November, December and January and with special command performances throughout the year, Godspell kept going. The very fact that they took Godspell to many places including prisons, correctional institutes, and other schools made them a touring company. The cast all agreed when asked how they felt about performing in prisons, although we were scared, if just one per- son got anything out of it, it was worth it. The lrmo Theatre Company did a lot of fundraising even though Godspell was a huge success, they sold putt-putt tickets candy and Godspell sweatshirts. The company was also in charge of helping with the publicity for Godspell and for the spring production The Crucible. Some members of the company took part in the Winthrop College Drama Festi- val. The company entered a one-act play, a costume design and a set and make-up design entered by Kelli Houston and Toni Wright. .

Listen to me, while in German Kevin gets distracted by a fellow student. all'- The Sound of F ore1gr1 l l Tongues The German Club had a stunning group of Deautsch lGermani members. The club consisted of 95 ambitious students. The sponsor for the German Club was Mrs. Howe. The officers were: Karen Beyersdorf, presidentg Tom Wharton, vice- presidentg Sheila Lee, secretaryg and Bet- sy Holladay, treasurer. The German Club had no regular meet- ings. They got together at parties to enjoy fun, excitment, and fellowship. But before you could enjoy those great parties you had to pay 35.00 dollars to get in the German Club. This money was used to pay for the parties, The club got together at the Oktoberfest, Christmas party, Initiation, and the grand finale which was the end of the year party. The club also went to Virginia to enjoy the sights of Busch Gar- dens. The club sold donuts to help pay for the Virginia trip. lt was a interesting jour- ney that took three days. The French Club hit it off this year with 140 students who met the third of the month in the cafeteria. The sponsors for the club were Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Triplett. The officers were: Mike Troxel, presidentg Jann Jones, vice-presidentg Mary Mulhern, secretaryg Angela Cook, treasurer, and Denise Morganelli, social and project chairperson. The club used their money from dues to purchase refreshments and to put on banquets during the spring. They had the excitment of selling candy for other ban- quets during the year. The Lowman Home was surprised and excited with the gifts that the French Club donated during the Christmas Sea- son. The club had many traditions. One of the traditions was attending the Interna- tional banquet with the other language clubs. Another tradition they kept was selling homecoming hats in the month of October. The members patiently sat in the cafeteria selling a lot of hats so they could bring in piles of money for the club. l.et's not forget the new members who joined the club. They had to wear big yel- low bows so they would stand out amongst the other Irmo High Students. Oh yes! Everyone had their laughs and jokes. The French Club finished this year off with a bang. If you see anyone with a big yellow bow during the summer it must be a member of the French Club.

A portion of this money went to the Latin club's Christmas party. The Latin club got a day off from school dur- ing the year to attend the Latin Forum which for the first time was held at U.S.C.

They joined Student Council to help improve their school by being involved in many different activities and planned special fund raisers for Irmo High School. The Student Coun- cil members did a lot of challenging and time consuming projects but they still had a great time. The only requirement was to have been elected by students in your class. The Student Council had roughly 30 members. With their sponsor, Mrs. Riley the officers attended a regional Student Council workshop at North Augusta. To raise money the Student Council did something a little different during the year, they held a kiss-the-pig contest where students put money in a jar to Oink! Oink!

The Student Council also had club and class awards for the banners at homecoming. The Stu- dent Councils biggest assignment was the planning and preparing of Homecoming, which went extremely well. During the summer the officers and sponsors went to Winthrop for summer camp. Mrs. Riley was really pleased with the students this year. She summed it all up Homecoming went very well, our meet- ings had excellent attendance with a lot of enthusiasm. Student Council supported their school 10002: all throughout the year.

They won the State Talent Award at the South Carolina Convention. Remarkable! This year, the lrmo Beta Club was the largest club in the nation. They had 450 bright students ready to go to work and to serve their club well. The main requirement to be in the Beta Club was to have achieved at least a 90 average in all classes. But, being ac- cepted in the club means a lot more than just studying. Members had to work hard and have good character, and be well dis- ciplined. The club traveled to the state conven- tion in Myrtle Beach and also to the na- tional convention in Mississippi. 1981-82 was the first year for Mrs. Berry to be a state sponsor. The other sponsors were Mrs. Melonas, and Mrs. Williams. These ladies along with the 450 members, produced an active chapter of the Beta Club. Other clubs that had to rack their brain were the Winthrop Challenge Team and the U.S.C. News Quiz Team. There were no specific qualifications for getting involved with these two teams but the advisors requested recommendations from the faculty and from the guidance 266 OrganizationsfBeta Club, Winthrop Challenge department. During the spring, the sponsor, Mr. Lewis, held tryouts for students who wanted to participate. This was a fun but skill of challenging way of showing your debate. Nine members helped to support these teams. Occasionally they met on Sunday nights. The Winthrop Challenge Team compet- worked type of ed at Rock Hill where they dilligently to do their best. This contest included a quick recall of informa- tion. They answered questions dealing with science, literature, math, entertain- ment, and sports. The team involved four high school students that competed in a televised contest against another S.C. high school. The U.S.C. News Quiz Team, like the Winthrop Challenge, had three students that competed at U.S.C. in a News Quiz. This was a televised contest which in- volved immediate answers that pertained to subjects such as: information from the State newspaper as well as Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News and World Re- port. Each team member was devoted and showed their courage and strength to do the very best they could. This was enough, as it proved they could succeed, in more ways than one. Wow! look what I received!

On National Library Week the students showed films to raise money for new equipment for the library. Many times somebody would have walked in the library and seen the library club students helping the Debate Team find materials for their debates. The De- bate consisted of about 15 to 20 students. Tomonori lshikawa, Eric Folley, and Crissy Goodson discuss what strategy they will use for an upcoming debate. The students met every Monday at 3:15 with their sponsor, Mr. Singletary. Some of the club members went to a summer workshop. Junior Eric Folley, the presi- dent of the Debate Team, went to Georgetown University Workshop in Washington D.C. Bob DeLoach, a Sopho- more went to Southern Illinois to attend a workshop. The Debate Team sold candy and doughnuts to raise money for the club and special outings.

A new club at Irmo was the Science club. The club sponsor Mrs. Tunnel and her help Mrs, Harris, started the club for students who wanted to further their knowledge of science. Some of the fun events which the club did was a field trip to visit the electron microscope at U.S.C. The trip to visit the Lexington Funeral Home and Crematory where club members actually had seen the remains of a creamated person, it left everyone in a deathly silence.

Another club which didn't take as many field trips was the Irmo High School Math Team. The team had competition with other schools in tournaments throughout the state. The team practiced in class or during lunch. After competing with about 220 students from 37 teams at the Winthrop Invitational Math Tournament at Withrop College in Rock Hill, the Math Team was able to win second place. Students which participated were Seniors Larry Connor, Bill Hollaway, Stuart Coale, Jeff Klinar, Tom Radziminski and Junior Ginger Nel- son.

There were about fifteen members who tried to make the club work and get it or- ganized. Just like all of the clubs they had mon' ey raising projects. They sold candy to help pay for things they needed. It also paid for a scholarship to go to a senior who had done the most outstanding work in journalism.

Inde At Irmo High any visitor could tell that he was somewhere special. The air was simply electric with spirit and excitement in anticipation of a school event. But the spirit and pride was not just confined to the boundaries of the Irmo campus. Irmo pride washed like a wave over the surround- ing suburbs and communities of Irmo, Seven Oaks and St. Andrews. Everyone seemed to get in on the act. Local businesses were the most supportive. Through donations of time, goods, services and money, merchants showed that they shared the feeling that was Irmo. Businesses also gave support through their advertising in everything from the Stinger to the football program. Local civic organizations and individuals also gave in support of Irmo High. Donations and mem- berships in various booster clubs proved that the Irmo spirit was not lost outside the school grounds. By just traveling through the neighboring commu- nities, one could tell that everyone was caught up in that lrmo pride. Displays of stickers, boards and signs proudly showed the world that the community was involved. Businesses, organizations and individ- uals each seemed to shout Look at me! I'm part of Irmo!

No, it's not a new school, but a new parking lot. This year if you wanted a parking space you had to get to school by 7:30. During lunch Coach Lovelace sold parking stickers in order to keep cars from being towed. The only problem was that all students had to buy these stickers. Parking used to be a Senior priviledge, but tradition changed. The Seniors were found on Emory Lane as well as underclassmen. The School sold more parking stickers than they had spaces, so it was first come first serve. Later in the year, Seniors were once again given their parking spaces. They finally had something to call their own. The underclassmen were allowed to use the new parking lot that was for everyone's use. Students were parking in the spacious parking lot and they didn't have to get up in the early hours of the morn- ing to get a space.

Sign-on the dotted line l'You're W - from Where. So there we were. We stood looking back over a year that saw both trials and triumphs. The football team stepped down as State 4-A Champions, but the risk of asbestos-induced cancer was gone! For a semester, some students put on their track shoes in order to go from the Career Center to McGregor Church, but the first floor opened and once again students could enjoy the freedom of having a full day's schedule contained in only one building. The Seniors got their privileges, a new District Superin- tendent took office, a new parking lot opened and lunchfstudy halls were abolished! Who could ask for more? Everyone asked for more. Students aksed for more in the form of privileges, opportunities and re-examination of policies. ln return, faculty and ad- ministration asked for more academic excellence, more discipline and more participation. It was a give and take situation, but each party usually got what it needed. Through it all, that old attitude stuck with Irmo students: that air of pride and spirit that made them say, Look at me! I'm from Irmo! So ends another day at Irmo High. The crowded bus-loading area was a familiar sight for passengers. Any questions? Mrs. Julie Flowers makes sure that her class understands before moving on. 3 Cl sng Just a few more steps . . . Brad Cranshaw tries to hold out for the last few seconds of a cross-country run, Look familiar? The school might, but the snow probably does not. Stu- dents were treated with a little white fluff and a few days off. 1' I QI' 312 Closing Make way! Lily Bates and Robbie Robertson lead the stampede to get out of school. Beware! This warning sign issues the ominous threat of doom and asbestos cancer. Irmo!!! Great advances were seen in the 1981-'82 school year. The communication gap between the students and facultyfadministration closed a little, the student body was brought closer together through common goals and experiences, and plans for the future of Irmo High School were being made. Plans included a park between the high school and Career Center and improvements on the football stadium. But living in the little world called Irmo may have made some people oblivious to the fact that the word Irmo still drew a question mark on the faces of those outside of South Carolina. But that would not last for long. Every year Irmo High churned out hundreds of graduates, each going his own separate way afterwards. It would not be long before that familiar yell could be heard on the West Coast, in the North, across the ocean . . . ev- erywhere! That exclamation of pride that made ev- eryone take notice: Look at me, I'm from Irmo! Colophon The 2000 copies of the 1982 Yellow Jacket were printed by Inter-Collegiate Press in Shawnee Mission, Kansas by an offset lithography process. The sales repre- sentative was Gary French. The quarter-bound cover of 160 point binder's board utilizes capital gold and black shoegrain material with gold and black silkscreening. The paper stock is 80 lb. Gloss Enamel. The endsheets are printed with 10096 gold and black copy on Vel- lum stock. Copy, captions and index are printed in Souvenir type set in 6, 8, 10, 12, and 18 point sizes. All headlines make use of Stymie Bold headline style in 36 and 48 point sizes. All head and shoulder portraits were taken by Bryn-Alan Studios, who also con- tributed some candid photographs. All other photos were taken by students. The 1981 Yellow Jacket won the Palmetto Award from the South Carolina Scholastic Press Association and the first place award from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Special thanks go to Fred West and Mitch Sharp for their photograph contribu- tions, to Lori Beal and Stephanie Brand for their help, to Dr. Richard Walters for his guidance, and to advisor Beth Moore, the staffers and their parents for their pa- tience and cooperation.
