The new bell, whose stand was made by Mr. Clodfelter and the Ho- gans, will be used in the future years as a victory bell until it too, is re- placed.

Randy Ford questions the indicator wondering if he ate that much in one day during student day at the State Fair. Fair Day Draws IHS-ers By Droves IHS-ers turned out in droves on October 23, at the Texas State Fair, where smiling Big Tex greeted fair-goers. Exhibits, rang- ing from homemaking and cars to science and Playground U.S.A., interested many Irvingites while some headed for the spectacular Ice Ca- pades. Along the Midway, with its penny-af pitch, toss-the-ring, and topple-the-milk bottle games, umpteen IHS-ers wandered-girls en- tranced by the teddy bear trophies-boys eager to display their skills. Afterwards, Irvingites, stuffed to the gills with popcorn, cotton candy, peanuts and corny dogs and loaded down with much-prized loot, headed for Birdville to play the seventh foot- ball game of the season. IHS-ers rest by a pond at the State Fair during High School Day after at busy schedule of walking through the midway many times. Seated are Toni Antoniello, Lana Helton, Sherry Roach and Kathy Allender. 24
