l C For many years now, I've had the pleasure of knowing this man, says IHS Principal Ed Williams before he introduces Reverend Paul Fullerton to IHS students. . . . and then like any red-blooded American boy, Terry leaned over and planted a kiss right cn the pretty young thing. Well, how did you like that? grinned Terry. And the pretty young thing said, Come over Friday night, Terry . . . that's amateur night! Hey, Terry, did she really say that? laughs Joe Martin. Jon Hataway, Charles Johnson and Max Reese add their guffaws to Joe's. Rev. Fullerton Tells IHS-ers Rules of Life I came here because I believe in teen-agers . . . Life is more than a game, and you should know the rules and play accordingly . . . Team play is essential . . .You aren't the only one hurt by your mistakes . . These are meaningful words spoken by Rev- erend Paul Fullerton, pastor of the First Christian Church in Irving, who spoke to IHS-ers in September. Possessor of an excellent sense of humor, Reverend Fullerton directed several of his many iokes at certain IHS football playerseAllen Helton, Terry Urquhart and Chuck Creed. Students then heard Reverend Ful- lerton talk to them on Christianity and the importance of living with yourself and the others around you. 27

'Q 'O Come on and yell, you Tiger! Get that spirit! commands head-cheerleader Butch Meier. Behind him are Sue Morris, Virginia King and Judy Key. Irving Tigers, fight! chant IHS-ers as they sing the fight song, Tiger Victory, at the beginning of pep rally. The waving black and gold pomepoms sold by the iunior class helped increase spirit this year. ..-.-..- Bonfires, Spirit dd to IHS Spirit Burn the Buffaloes! Corral the Colts! Bury the Gophers! These were a few of the cries heard throughout the football season as Tiger fans assembled for pep rallies and bonfires. Spirit was felt by IHS-ers as sales of black and gold fight ribbons, pom-poms, mums and balloons got under way. Students whole- heartedly supported these fund raising pro- jects. Again the Plymouth Park shopping center was the scene of three rousing bonfires, which were held previous to the Grand Prairie, Birdville and Paschal games. Each year these merchants help IHS in many ways, especially with bonfires. Tiger captain Bill Lorance leads the fightin' Tigers through the arch of black and gold formed at each pep rally by the Toy Tigers. At the same time, IHS-ers ioin in the fight song, Tiger Victory, ' which, by the way, was written by lHS's own Coach Holden. 29
