We 'th were greeted W1 new teachers, schedules, and student numbers 1n f our glori- exchange or ous summer vacation ordinary year Hardly a fair trade in the minds of many. Traditionally, the beginning of the year activities focused on football. Sadly enough, the season began with a loss, followed by anoth- er, then another. It soon became clear to us all that this was going to be an ordinary year for the team, and as a direct result of that, an ordinary year, for the rest of us, as well. But we simply did not let that happen. As the discour- aging losses continued, our spirits did not sink with the team's win-loss record. It rose higher than it would have with a mildly successful team. It was suddenly impor- tant to support the team and the school, now more than ever. Even a drenching rain during the Homecoming game did not dampen our enthusiastic optimism. v Mike Mike McLean Senior Lisa Sweat became a virtual powerhouse in her own right during the 1982 gir-ls'. varsity basketball season.

At the Irving Beauty Academy, where the students train, Robin Mash trims a volunteer's hair for her semester exam grade. A new law passed in the Texas legislature over the summer required all students who had not been inoculated against the measles since 1968 to get a booster shot. Because it affected the vast majority of students, senior Anna Harris bravely receives her shot to meet the Jan. 21 deadline requirement. Lv an ,Mraz nspiration was provided for the team, as well as the school and surround- ing community in the form of senior Ray Cerda, the expected quarterback of the 1982 varsity team. After a tragic car accident in the spring of his junior year which paralyzed him from the waist down, Ray returned to IHS to support his fellow teammates from the sidelines, as well as to complete his graduation requirements. It was a display of extraordinary courage and dedication, and one that served as a catalyst for the other students. , Instead of drifting quietly off into a severe case of apathy after such a disappointing fall, we were suddenly face-to- face with a number of projects that filled us all with intense concern. Project Adoption was one such activity. It was met with an extraordi- nary amount of support from the entire school resulting in a sort of friendly competition between us to see who could provide the most for their adopted child- ren. We were all united by a simple emotion---the will to give. Our concern for the children from under- privileged families was so intense that we were motivated to the point where we would chastise others who were not willing to give some- thing of themselves to help a less-fortunate child. u At this point in the year it became quite clear: 1982 was different, original, unique---out of the ordinary. There were certain events that stood out as new and innova- tive, if not by their occurrence, by the feelings that resulted from them. E As an additional step to ensure discipline in the school and to improve communication, Irving police officers were often seen in and around the halls. Officer Mich- ael Kneblick and Jan Burda discuss school policies on drug and alcohol abuse. Adding a touch of elegance to the exterior appearance of IHS was the addition of three new flagpoles donated by the Senior Class. The poles were a four year project for the class of '82.

Junior YAC members Frances San- toscoy and Marietta Compton enjoy some nachos which the club added to the snack bar menu. owever, there existed some char- acteristics of the that were unique, but subtle in how they affected it and us. Our concern with the neverending quest to make the high grade was not unusual in itself--it was the way we chose to handle it. There was never a day in the year that a teacher did not arrive at school early or stay late to help a worried student with a problem. The faculty's and adminis- tration's concerns with students---their lives as well as their grades--- affected us all, directly or indirectly. The fact that so many of us cared enough to forfeit an extra hour of sleep or spare time to assist us in improving our grades, as well as our minds, was indeed unusual. Even the weather helped to distinguish 1982 as out of the ordinary. In the early fall, a week of torrential rain pelted all of North Texas causing a great deal of flooding as well as inconvenience. The early rains complicated traffic so much one morning that some of us arrived at school up to an hour late after leaving home at our regular year departure times. As soon as we returned from the Christmas holidays we were greeted with a cold wave that brought us a mini-vacation of two days at the request of Texas Power and Light to close down the schools in the district to help conserve fuel. Our involvement in happenings in the community and area helped to set apart the year as its own. The hands of IHS students were highly visible in the liquor-by-the-drink ref- erendum with a sur- prising number of us supporting the anti- liquor views. However, we did not limit our involvement in local politics to the controversial liquor issue. A number of us helped in campaigning for the ten proposed projects in the January bond election---espec- ially for the proposition supporting the new library. Undeniably, 1982 was not one of your average, run-of-the-mill years. There were many words that could des- cribe it. Phenomenal, thrilling, exciting, intoxicating, sensa- tional, and trend-setting were only some of them. ry :X x M ww Svfimxsu gwwxa my , ,.na,6-iagwmf. .

Xxx-16 Theresa Kinser ' -vin Knpl' T CICl'IVll'I9S By Leslie White t seemed to many of us that all of the school-sponsored activities were always the same old boring things--- and we were right. ' There was always the traditional homecoming, dances, pep rallies, football games, and the like. We all yearned for something different and innovative in our school lives, particularly in our free time amusement-pursuits. It was definitely time for a change. Looking below the surface of the year we found them. Homecoming activities, for the first time ever, were split up into two consecutive nights to break up the rushing monotony of having to dine out at an expensive restaurant, go to the game, and then go directly to the dance, while still trying to have fun in such a time-limiting atmosphere. Another unusual aspect of the homecoming was that the activities reflected a Hallow Homecoming theme' since the game and the majority of the activities fell on that night. To increase interest and attendance at the club-sponsored dances held on Friday nights, student council decided to drastically reduce the number of them. The logic that fewer dances would produce larger turnouts was proven faulty by the fact that attendance dropped to an all-time low. Although most of the activities provided through the school gave the appearance of being staid and traditional, it was easy to see that the extraordinary freshness gained through the changes in these and in other activities was out of the ordinary.

Never underestimate the power of cr woman By Pauline Roderick ompetition was a prom- inent factor at IHS, and .class competition was always fought with the main purpose of being the best. One of the most traditional of class competitions was the powderpuff football game, played by the junior and senior girls.

I worked with the offensive end and taught them the basic plays and how to block. I also worked with them and taught them trick plays and other things to help throw off the junior team, Raymond said. After the four weeks of practicing were over, the day of the big game approached. Senior Joanna Yaeger said, It was a lot of fun because we got to play a game that girls 'don't usually play. It was quite an experience. It was so weird how your friends change out on field and be so competitive. The scheduled practices worked out real good because they didn't interfere with my A job. The positions 'I played were safety and tight end. I liked playing safety a lot. I got hurt in the game and I really didn't want to sit out, so I went ahead and played. Coaching the junior team were Coaches Randy Feemster and Earl Rhodd. The juniors practiced long hours trying to prepare themselves for the powderpuff game. They did not, however, have any student coaches to help out with the head coaches, but with the little help they did have, the juniors managed to hold the score at only one touchdown for the seniors, which won them the game. HI think the juniors worked real hard and attended practices mainly because they wanted to beat the seniorsf' said Coach Rhodd. The girls showed a lot of spirit and probably could have won them the game The day of the powderpuff game was treated as a regular football game day. The girls who were playing that afternoon wore nice shirts and ties to school, mimicking the regular football players on their game days. The guys who were going to be posing as cheerleaders wore their cheerleading T-shirts that they wore during the game. Halftime activities of the game included an all-faculty drill team and marching band, and the crowning of the homecoming king. As soon as the halftime activities began, the all-faculty drill team performed a routine and the traditional high-kick as the faculty marching band played along. After this, the nominees for homecoming king were brought out onto the field. The nominees consisted of the guys who were cheerleaders. Their escorts were, of course, the girls playing on the football team. The king, Tommy Manskey, was crowned and then the second half of the game began.

Hollow event 'roins' with yeoriy irooiiion By Dana Johnson s Oct. 31 grew closer, students experienced waves of excitement and rapid adrenaline flow as they prepared for the busy home- coming week. Since the dance was hosted on Halloween night, the week reflected the theme, A Hallow Homecoming, created by senior Suzette Price. Suzette also designed the logo used throughout the promotion of homecoming week activities. The powderpuff football game played between junior and senior girls kicked off the week's events. The game was originally scheduled for the preceeding open week, but was re-scheduled for Wednesday afternoon of homecoming due to extensive rain. The game resulted in a 6-0 victory for the seniors with Lisa Sweat scoring the winning touchdown. Lisa commented on the game. 'il loved playing powderpuff. I really get into sports and it's a lot of fun for the spectators, as wellf' During the course of the week, princesses and queen nominees were selected during homeroom. Princesses selected were Julie Arras and Sandra Lovelady, freshmeng Janna Long and Andrea Shlipak, sophomores, Marietta Compton and Frances Santoscoy, juniorsg and homecoming queen nominees selected included Marihelen Akins, Jennifer Brannock, and Terri Setser. A very drenched queen and her court of princesses were presented at the Friday night game during halftime. Prior to being crowned homecoming queen, Terri Setser said, I try to be friendly to everyone, I'm really honored. The senior queen nominees were escorted on and off the field by their fathers. Other halftime activities included the recognition of the. 1947 Tiger football team, and the presentation of a bouquet to the coming home queen, Mrs. Marie Bufe, by Lester Ball, commander of the ROTC color guard. The traditional senior Toy Tiger high kick routine, as well as the announcing of senior band members and homecoming winners for the week were also included in the halftime activities. Another major part of the homecoming events was the making of hall decorations and run-through signs. The decora- tions followed the general theme Big Irvi Goes to the Moviesf' with a Halloween flair. The freshman theme was L'Charlie Brown's Pumpkin Patch, while the sophomores used Hall of Horrors. The Hallow Homecoming represented the juniors, while the seniors characterized One Flew Over the Pumpkin Patchf, The judging results for the hall decorations ended with a tie between the junior and senior classes. Senior Marihelen Akins said, We had a lot offun working on the project. I really liked the unusual scenery we used. The run-through signs also reflected a hallow theme. Captions for the signs read: Guillotine the Gophersf for seniorsg This cat likes to trick the Gophers, forjuniors, Tigers get the Gophers, for sopho- moresg and Tigers keep the Gophers, for freshmen. The juniors took first place while the freshmen came in second. Homecoming was also noted for the traditional bonfire pep rally and the parade. The bonfire was held Thursday evening at 7:30. The weather provided a perfect atmosphere for raising spirit for Friday's big game, as the bonfire served as an exterminator for hordes of mosquitoes brought on by heavy rains earlier in the week.

As a means of promoting more school spirit, the traditional homecoming parade followed its usual route through downtown Irving Friday afternoon.

But, before halftime had started, a rainstorm had hit ISS. The storm lasted throughout the homecoming activities, as well as throughout the game. Although the number of people in the bleachers became scarce, there were a few dedicated Tiger fans who stayed to see the Tigers through yet another loss. As a new feature of homecoming, the dance was held Saturday night so couples could go to various restaurants after the game, and still be able to attend the dance the next night. In preparation for the dance, the student council entertainment committee began decorating for the dance at 10 a.m. Saturday morning.

Homecoming 19 Mike McLean After an attempt to increase attendance at the dances by decreasing the number of them, the student council found that the plan backfired. Alone on the dance floor, Patty Maxey, and Chris Callan sway to the music. 20 Dances The PTA sponsored a basketball dance and found that there were virtually no profits made because of the drop in attendance. Chaperones Ms. Martha Mewhir- ter, Ms. Nancy 0'Teter, and Ms. Barbara Sullivan watch over the refreshment table placed in the foyer of the cafeteria. Mike Mclean Dance, dance, dance said the words to a long-ago popular disco tune, but let's face it: disco was now dead, dead, dead! Would the IHS dances share the same fate as disco and dinosaurs? Attendance factors' said so. Alone in the dark By Sherry Pennington n order to increase attendance, the student council decided to have fewer dances on the schedule this year. But its idea of fewer dances to get more seemed to have fizzled, because attendance this year dropped far lower than in past years. Ms. Wynette Kent, student council sponsor said, We are thinking of new ways to make the dances more interesting, such as costume dances and a live band at the Sweetheart dance CValentine's Dancel. After all, we put on the dances to give the students a place to go and have a good time. A H,-W The proceeds from the mid- winter dance, sponsored by the PTA, were supposed to go towards the purchase of a new trophy case, as well as to be used for other activities. However, due to the poor turnout, the expenses of the dance far surmounted the profits. Mrs. Nancy O'Teter, chairman of the PTA dance said, Perhaps the students feel less enthusiastic at this time of the year than they do at the beginning of the school year. Mrs. O'Teter also felt that perhaps there was not enough advertisement for the dance. She said, We made seven posters, and two days before the dance only one was still up, the one across from the office. Some of the students felt that the rates were too high for the quality and frequency of the dances. These factors drastically reduced student attendance. Ms. Kent said, It is not that the prices are too highg it's just that the older students who can drive or who have friends who can drive have a larger variety of things they can do. Most of the students who attend are freshmen and sophomores who don't have as many places to go as the older studentsf' There were many varying opinions among the students as to the success ofthe dances. Some freshmen felt the number of dances should have increased. I think the dances are really fun, but there should be many more throughout the year, said freshman Jeanette Boileau. To other students, the attendance, as well as the price did not matter, because they considered the dances entertain- ing all any rate. Sophomore Mindy Feller said, The dances are lots of fun and the music is greatf, Even the students who did not like to attend the dances liked the music.

Dumb things I gona do today By' Phil Freeman hat? School something besides 8:30 to 3130? The center of education something other than pure academia? The entire Activities Section of the yearbook answered these questions. Yes, it was. Outside of strict classes during the day, many students took advantage of time before and after school and during lunch period to provide a relief from daily pressures. Whether talking to friends, a favorite teacher, doing homework, or just relaxing, deviating attention from school whenever possible became very popular among teens. Before-school antics were generally held to a minimum except for walking the halls and smoking cigarettes in the parking lots. Although a few possibly, sometimes, every now and then, occasionally, came early to finish homework or to catch up on reading or other research in the library, most arrived at the school as late as possible. I used to go to the school library sometimes when I got to school early, but by the last ofthe year, stated Janet Walther, a senior, I started running in at 8:30 because I started to more Glenn Dominiec prepared for his tests and his homework while waiting a ride home. oversleepf' Although some once came to school early before end-of-the- years blahs attacked, many Cespecially girls5 remained consistent at least in getting to their local institution of higher education at the last moment. I don't even get up until a quarter ,til 8 o'clock, admitted junior Malinda Wingo, and at 8:25 I walk into the school, just taking the curlers out of my hair.', Usually by the time the lunch period began, students were trying more avidly to find something to alter their days to a more exciting pace. Malinda shared her sentiments. 'KSince I'm in PELE QPre- Employment Laboratory Education5, I get my lunch and eat in the room because I feel more comfortable eating up there fthan in the school cafeteria5, she said. Spending lunch in Coach Steve Hamberger's room, sophomore Paige Bellah sat in B208 and simply talked to her boyfriend, Dave Portillo. While some were obviously easily amused, some chose the more intellectually stimulating path: studying during lunch. 'Tm too lazy to do my homework at home, laughed Needing extra practice, many band students took advantage of the courtyard for after school rehearsals. - junior Mike Evans. You can do group studying. Usually I dOn't like what they're serving in the lunch lines anyway, so I don't eat lunch. I have to be constructive somehow, if not by eating, by- trying to make high grades. Finding something to do after sch Jol was never a problem, although usually it had absolutely nothing to do with school. Those who stayed around after school tended not only to be those who waited for the bus or their rides home, but those who were the more dedicated students. As A Cappella Choir president-elect, Keith Umphress said, 'KNext year, l'll be spending my time after school on choir preparations, getting things organized, and into shape. Right now, Keith continu- ed, I have football after school, and after that, I'm pretty tired so Ijust drop off some of the guys on my way home. As the year progressed, most teens spent less time at the school after school. Janet Walther, the one who said that she ran in at 8:30, repeated the same routine everyday after school. What do I do after school? she asked.

The balloons contained alcohol awareness information and were released during SMILE Week. Hard work, late night hours, creative props, and fun times were all parts of the sign-making events. Lifting your spirits By Dana Johnson long with various other traditional events, IHS continued the craze of spirit boosting throughout the year. Various activities such as sign-making parties, and weekly pep rallies kept the spirit in full swing. Every Friday afternoon for the first ten weeks of school, the pep rally for the evening football game was held after sixth period. In an attempt to carry the football team to a win, and to encourage the student body to support the team, the cheer- leaders, Big Irvi Keepers, Toy Tigers, and the marching band combined forces to keep the four classes motivated. A majority of students found the weekly pep rallies to be a lot of fun and really helpful to the team in getting the winning spirit. Freshman Renee Makowski said, The pep rallies are a lot more exciting than in junior high. I looked forward to seeing everybody pulling together to keep the spirit up. Sophomore Rusty Ilgenfritz also found the pep rallies to be enjoyable. After the pep rallies were over, everybody had such a lift that the game was really full of suport by everyone attending. Kevin Kopi' Although pep rallies were somewhat traditional from week to week, there were a lot of unusual distinctions. Dressed in safari attire, the cheerleaders and Big Irvi Keepers performed a skit at the MacArthur pep rally to Another One Bites the Dust. A skit was also peformed by the girls before the Viking game and in this skit they dressed as Tiger football players and opposing team members while they rode around the gym on tricycles. Varsity cheerleader Frances Santoscoy said, We had a lot of fun doing the skits. I think it was a fun change for the student body to see at pep rallies. An outdoor pep rally was held on the JV practice field near the end of the season as a diversion. Although held in its usual manner, the bright and sunny fall day added to the display of spirit exhibited by students at the rally. Sophomore Kim Horne said, I thought that having the pep rally outside was a greatideag the only problem was that it was hard to hear what was going on. Pep rallies aside, spirit could be seen everywhere. Sign-making parties were held throughout the week in preparation for the game and pep rally by individual classes. The parties were usually sf 'S ii A A W' lCon't. on page 265 L9 L . g g Showing her school loyalty, junior Kim Breithaupt sings along as the band plays the fight song at the closing of a pep rally.

Junior sponsor Ms. Delores Simmons said, There was always an excellent turnout at all of the parties, the kids came and worked hard and had fun while they did it. Students involved in the sign- making felt the same as the sponsors. Senior Laurie Melton said, I didn't get a chance to come to all of the parties, but the ones I came to were really fun. It took a lot of hard work but the more people that came the easier it was to get finished. Weekly projects also proved to be popular spirit-raisers. The annual howdy week was held the second week of school, and students were encouraged to dress in everything from '5O's to western attire. Other weekly events included football week, where participating students dressed in their favorite pro, college, and high school team T- shirts. if . i-,. lf, ' bv 'S I f , '1 ,I .eh ' . J ' Susan Bollinger Freshman Rob Beam shows his spirit by wearing a tie on tie day. Various accessories were worn throughout the year to promote spirit. An alcohol awareness week, known as SMILE Week, was organized by the student council. The project was held during one week and consisted of questionn- aires, presentations of factual information, and a popular balloon release, in which each homeroom placed a message inside a balloon to help prevent alcohol abuse. The balloons were released from the patio and prizes were awarded to the homerooms whose messages were carried the farthest. During the week, IHS was also visited by Dallas Cowboy Drew Pearson. Mr. Pearson presented his views on alcohol and provided a question-answer session afterwards. Freshman Johnny Moore said, Drew Pearson is known by everyone, so people will be more likely to take into consideration what he says about alcohol abuse. Student council president Diann Smith said, SMILE Week gets everyone involved in the effects and problems of alcohol abuse. I hope that it helps people to realize the problems that alcohol can cause. As the football season came to a close the spirit lived on. The Toy Tigers could still be found decorating the athletes' rooms, and halls and lockers were still bombarded with spirit signs. While football was the major spirit-maker, other sports were not forgotten. A basketball spirit week was held for the first time during the year. The week consisted of various days in which students dressed in warm-ups, boots, and belts, and a black and gold day. Senior basketball player Nancy Fletcher said, t'You'd be surprised at the number of students who attended the basketball games regularly. It really gives you a, sense of support to see familiar faces and you know you've got to do your best. Keeping spirit going was a tough job, but with the help of everyone pulling together and having fun, spirit proved to be at its best.

All the beautiful people By Phil Taylor ost people believed that beauty was only a quality which was basically skin deep. However, in an attempt to prove this theory wrong, the Lair Staff sponsored the annual Beauties and Handsomes pageant in May. Although good looks were an important quality for doing well in the contest, contestants were also judged on the qualities of poise, personality, response, and overall appearance. The Lair Staff began the selection process by sponsoring a homeroom election where students nominated three boys and three girls from their class to participate in the pageant. After tabulating the ballots, the staff sent out invitations to the ten top vote-gatherers in each class, both male and female. Held later in the spring than ever before, the contest was arranged in May and carried out a springtime theme. In contrast Mike Kopf After completing their appear- ance at the microphone, seniors Scott Baxter and Lynn Thompson return to their position in line. As they are introduced to the audience, freshman couple Norbert Osborn and Sherry Ross pause under the ribbon and ivy decorated archway. to last year's elaborate decorations involving balloons, the staff tried for a simpler, more elegant theme, using long, colorful ribbons, plants and greenery, and an ivy and ribbon decorated archway. Although the decorations were simpler, they still required the staff to devote time to preparing them, which it did on the Friday night preceding the Saturday pageant. The only really complicated area of the pageant involved the Lair Staff assuming the responsibility of asking the questions to the contestants, which previously had been done by the judging panel. This involved taking the ques- tionnaires which the contestants had prepared and finding some area on each one to quiz each contestant about. After a while it became a very difficult chore to find a different questioning technique for each contestant, especially when many of the answers to the questions were very similar. It took the better part of Friday night and Saturday afternoon for this to be done. The night of the pageant, however, most people agreed that the questioning technique worked effectively, and provided the contestants with a better opportunity to express them- selves since the questions dealt with specific areas of their lives, rather than in vague generalities. Gathering in the choir room at 7 p.m., the freshmen contestants, who were competing for the first time, nervously chatted, fixed their hair, and tried to ease queasy stomachs. At 7:30 they were placed in line as couples and were led to the stage.

Throughout the evening, the couples from the other three classes came on to the stage to also be judged. At the conclusion of the pageant, the winners were announced. While the range of winners represented many IHS families, one family in particular scored high in the pageant, with three winners, one each from the freshman, sophomore, and senior classes. The Schmitz family had all three of their sons, Marc, Eric, and Danny named as handsomes at the conclusion of the pageant. Mrs. Sharon Schmitz, mother of the three winners said she was very pleased that all three of them won. lt was an honor for me that they were even nominated since there are so many kids up there, she said. Mrs. Schmitz said that the hardest part of having three sons in the pageant was finding suits for all of them. We were shifting suits around since I have four sons, trying to get something to fit the three youngestf' Another family winner came from the Smith family. Twins Jake and Jim Smith were both chosen as junior winners. Having competed against each other before, but primarily in sports, the brothers both play on the basketball team. I thought if one of us won the other one would, too, Jake said. It,s always been that way before, he said. Adrnitting that there is a lot of competition between us, Jake said that he and Jim are closer than two regular brothers. Everything we do we do together. I can always tell what he's thinking. Despite the pageantis late occurrence in the year, most participants seemed to enjoy the changes that had been made in the ceremony.

Senior Henry 32 Night Life By Phil Freeman he last thing students wanted to do with their free ' time was to spend it being bored. But not surprisingly, teenagers held different definitions of, what constituted an exciting night life. Since' days during the week were filled with school and week nights absorbed hours of homework, most students hummed 'Waiting for the Weekend,' in anticipation of what they would do on Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday. But some were content with using their weekends as they spent their week. Whether with a group of friends, a boyfriend or a girlfriend, or alone, many stayed at home and watched television, concentrated on school through- out the weekend, or held down a job to earn money. Things are just too expensive to go out much anymore. I stay home and watch TV with my boyfriend usually, said senior Josephine Smith. 'Tm content with my night life. I like staying at homefl With homework and school activities binding them during the week, Steve Gunter, senior, and junior Linda Sawyer both gave their best efforts to having an exciting weekend. Using the weekends to watch TV or do homework, Steve said, On Friday nights me and some guys go out and do something like go see a movie and go to Bennigan's. Sometimes I do athletic work like basketball, but that's about it. Linda said, I spend between two and four hours every night on homework. That and going to school basketball games and those sort of activities almost take up all of my time. During the week I spend time in the house. For the weekend, I try to relax and go to movies or something, because I've been in the house all week.

Most churches don't have as much every week to do, but they don't expect as much out of you. Working during the week, as well as on the weekends, junior J.D. Rudder worked six days a week from 4:30 to'1 0:30 and for 10 hours on Saturday at Southwest- ern Drug Warehouse in Dallas. J.D. said, From 12 o'clock midnight until 7 o'clock in the morning I sleep. Thfzt's my recreation. I have a membership at the spa, but I hardly have time to use it because they close at 10 o'clock. But these students, when compared to others, reflected the slower action of Irving. Many students said that they had fun right in the heart of the city, while others demanded on having Dallas or surrounding metropolitan cities for their entertainment. If we stay in Irving, said one freshman, we go running all over town. Irving's a blast, but I try to make fun wherever I'm at.

Here, Linda McMahan wears metallic shoes with a matching metallic belt to give her outfit an eccentric look. By Pauline Roderick any interesting fashions intrigued IHS students throughout the year. Unlike past fashions, this year's styles emphasized accessories more than ever. Hair was worn French-braided, pulled back, and clipped with one of the many types of barrettes or combs that were popular, or a headband was worn. Never really successful, the metallic look made a popular entrance into the world of fashion. Anything and everything was made metallic or enhanced with something metallic, Purses, socks, headbands, to name a few, were things that were found metallic during the year. According to senior Claire Cardwell, clothes had an eccentric look, which made them more flexible and fun to work with. I think the fashions this year are really nice and different. They're dressy, or they can be casual. It seems the fashions are sort of getting back to things from the past, she said. Clothes that were basically new consisted of knickers, clam diggers, ruffled shirts and skirts, split skirts, 'lpirate shirts, and metallic clothing. This year it seems like more students are clothes-conscious. Most people at IHS are really starting to dress in fashion. I think that's real neat, said junior Laura Bearrie. Fashion worn by IHS guys consisted of sweaters, worn alone or with button-down Oxford shirts under themg designerjeans and Levi'sg corduroy'sg and IZOD and Polo shirts.

I like to dress casual to go to school and a lot of what I own in clothes is IZOD, Polo, and Calvin Klein. The clothes made by these designers are very versatile and are comfortable, said senior Jim Sullivan. Jeans were worn most often to school, therefore many different names were seen. The names most often seen were Calvin Klein, Jordache, Gloria Vanderbilt, Levi's, Chic, Lee, and Sergio Valente. t'Since I wearjeans most often to school, I like to wear nice designer jeans. They are very versatile because you can wear them casually or you can dress them up with a nice shirt, said junior Dana Tucker. With the fashion industry reaching a practical peak, many new styles, which were not particularly practical, were introduced to IHS. These included mini-skirts, leather pants, knickers, and shirts, and other fashions created in Paris, but in many cases, rarely accepted in America. 'KI think mini-skirts will come more in style around here if some people would wear them. I guess people are afraid to wear them because of the fear of what might come in style after mini- skirts, perhaps it might be worse? I like the new styles and I think they will eventually be accepted by a few girls at IHS,,' saidjunior Linda McMahan. Though some students were not into fashion and their wardrobes consisted only of the all-American blue jeans, it seemed that most IHS students began to accept fashion and give it a well-deserved try. Waiting for a friend in the north garden between classes, senior Terri Setser wears one of the popular headbands worn to perfection by many girls.

The second-annual spring fever week was held during late April and helped to relieve these tensions. The week was sponsored by the student council and hosted various activities throughout the week. These activities ranged from cheer- leader elections to dress-up days. Food-oriented contests and class competition races were also held. The yearly election for cheerleaders was conducted in the gymnastium. An assembly was held during first period, and during the assembly the candidates for cheerleader performed a group cheer and an individual jump. Both male and female students were allowed to tryout. Junior Richard Romo competed and won, marking the first time a male had made it to the finals since male cheer- leaders ceased to be a part of the cheerleading squad. The student body was allowed to vote for their choices, the ballots were tallied, and the winners were announced the next day. Freshman Casey Shawver said, I like being able to vote for the people that will be representing our school and rallying spirit. Class competition races played a major part of the week. The races were held on Wednesday beginning after school on the band field. Racing events included a sack race won by the sophomoresg a three- legged man relay won by the seniorsg and the egg toss won by the sophomores. The tug-of-war resulted in a freshman win over the sophomores, ajunior win over the seniors, and an all-around win for the juniors as they beat the freshmen in the play-offs.

The guys generally wore Hawaiian shirts with jeans. Tuesdayis contest was a contest and it students who entered to drink a glass of root beer in the shortest amount of time. Contestants were told to puttheir empty glasses atop their heads after they finished their root beer. Winning the root beer contest was sophomore Brad I-leppler. Dressing in Army!Navy attire on Wednesday, most students chose combat attire, although fatigues, camouflage and actual uniforms were urn. Most girls turned to rinkin the popular spring nautical look to interpret the Navy part of the dress up attire. Wednesday found students stuffing bananas in their mouths during second lunch. Danny Morgan won this contest which required contestants to peel and eat two bananas, open their mouths, and swallow the whole bananas. Deviating from the usual fifties dress up day, the student council gave students a chance to show new creativity in interpreting Thursday's sixties dress up day. Most outfits either depicted a favorite sixties figure like one of the Beatles or tended to run toward bell bottom pants and leather vests with bright, gawdy shirts. Girls once again had it easier with the mini-skirt, another growing fashion trend, providing the popular choice for dress. Eating Twinkies during third lunch, contestants in the eating contest found their major obstacle to be the dryness of the cupcakes and the difficulties in swallowing all that cake. Still after eating four Twinkies in the shortest amount of time, Bobby Hanson won this contest. Ending Spring Fever Week in style was the popular punk rock dress up day which found students in some truly outrageous forms ofdress. Kenny McClurg and Randy Saffle seemed to have shown the most creativity with their wigs, make- up, and decorated clothes. Pies were the order of the fourth lunch eating contest on Friday. Students had to throw themselves face down into their pies in order to get them eaten as quickly as possible and because hands could not be used. The contest required eating an entire chocolate cream pie, crust and all, and then licking the pie plate clean. The fastest pie eater proved to be James Kaye.

Students who wanted to test their academic abilities could become involved in UIL competition, beginning at the district level. Senior Laurina Olsson was one competitor who advanced all the Way to state in informative speaking. It's aII,accidemicgUIL,1hc1 is By Dana Johnson lthough the UIL CUniver- sity Interscholastic Leaguel was usually related to sports, it also sponsored a contest for selected literary events during the spring of each year. These events included: debate, journalism, spelling, typing, shorthand, one- act play, ready writing, number sense, calculator, and science. The district UIL contest, which was held on March 26 and 27 at North Lake College, not only gave the students a chance to win and go on to regionals if they placed high enough in their categories, but it also gave them a chance' to test their skills in a competitive situation. Three teams of debaters participated in the events. Among them were two teams consisting of Branch Moody and Brad Fullerton, and Mike Rees and Mark Dyer. Laurina Olsson also competed in informative speaking. Debate coach Mr. Gregg Hartney said, We've been practicing since September. Although the team already attended a meet at Harvard University, UIL is a good place for them to compete with the best debalters around. Along with the debaters, several other IHS students competed in various areas such as spelling, typing, journalism, and number sense. According to spelling sponsor Ms. Carol West, spelling wasn't an easy event to compete in. Competitors had to be able to let the judge know they could spell. Handwriting also played a big part in the judging. While spelling competitors were judged on accuracy, typists were judged on speed, as well. Typing coach Ms. Mary Brown said, 4'We choose the best typists out of the classes and let them compete. We practice everyday in, order to increase our speed. Practices for number sense competitors or any students who were interested in increasing their calculator and number skills were held in Ms. Jill Stevens' room every Tuesday after school. Other literary events included drama. Drama students were allowed to present a one-act play. Mr. George Morrow, drama coach said, There's really not a special routine we use to prepare, wejust rehearse and work on line memorization. We can only hope the play goes off well at the contest. Journalism students were also chosen to compete by adviser Ms. Sherri Taylor. Students were allowed to participate in one of the following categories: editorial writing, feature writing, headline writing, and news writing. Participant Laurie Burns said, We attended a pre-contest prior to the UIL event, and it made most ofus realize that we couldn't be sure what to expect so we had to be on our toes. That kind of scared us. While most of the categories encompassed practice and preparation, the science literature division proved to be entirely different. Sponsor Mr. Gerald Lewis said, t'We couldn't really prepare in any way. The contest sees how much a student knows about physics, chemistry, biology, and other related sciences. For the first time, portions of the district meet were held during the week and on Friday. Competitors in some speech events and journalism competed on an early, cold and rainy Saturday. While students who partici- pated in the UIL literary events were there to gain experience and knowledge, winning retained its importance. The district contest resulted in a win for Branch Moody and Brad Fullerton in debate, Tammy Martin in spelling, Tracy Wells in number sense,, Regina Cox in typing, Mike Rees and Mark Dyer in debate, Laurina Olsson in informative speaking, Laurie Burns in editorial writing and news writing and Laura Bearrie in feature writing. Allison Stratton was named to the all-star play cast. District winners competed three weeks later at NTSU in regional competition. Laurina Olsson placed in informative speaking and competed at the state meet two weeks later in Austin. Antigone was chosen as the UIL one-act play. Drama students Allison Stratton, Mike McLain, Don Thomas, and Lari Littlejohn rehearse scenes one day after school. In the spelling competit- ion, handwriting played an important role.

Chorily spreads like o diseose By Dana Johnson harity began with helping a friend with homework or with giving a ride home to someone who was only a vague acquaintance. As the student began to be more and more involved offering more of his time, the projects became more worthwhile. Three fund-raising activities provided many students with this chance. Quite a few students participated and the percentage of those who understood what they were helping with was remarkably high. Student council, which held many activities throughout the year, sponsored the jump rope marathon and the blood drive, while it co-sponsored the Superdance with the YADs CYouth Against Dystrophyb. With activities matching the causes, the Heart Association was the benefactor of those jumping rope while Jerry Lewis and those at the Muscular Dystrophy Association received money for their organizations.

Couple number eleven, graduate Tommy Schmitz and senior Julie Hart, dance to the theme song, 'Don't Stop Believin' ' during the Superdance. The marathon was held in the spring. donations for the annual blood drive were deposited at the Wadley Blood Bank under an account for Irving High School. Since student council had a major part with all of these charity activities, Diann Smith, president said, Help from other students has to be purely motivational. You don't jump for three hours to have fun. You do it for those who can't jump. She also said, I don't think high school students can be that concerned, because they donlt have the money. This is their chance to help other people, and it's not as one-sided as it may seem. Those who donated time and energy to one charity seemed to help with other activities. Many did not end their concern with only one cause. For example, Marc Schmitz, senior, participa- ted in all three events. The main reason I did these was to raise money to help others, and because student council played a role in all threefl he said. Tad Deupree ' The main purpose is to help others have the money or supplies they need, he continued. The secondary purpose is to have fun. If those who participated weren't sincere, they wouldn't have helped in the first place. Kevin Arrington, who participated in the jump rope marathon and the Superdance said, I found outaboutthesejust from word of mouth. I knew I'd have fun if I went. Most do it for that reason to begin with, but then after they're in itfor a couple of hours, they start to realize that they are helping. But as was often the case, the helping went beyond those with a disease or those in need of blood. The really interesting part of raising money for any of these causes, stated school nurse, Mrs. Darlene Hall, is that it doesn't help only those with MD, or heart disease, or a person in need of blood. These all make those kind enough to give time, feel a sense of accomplishment and a sense of being needed.

All these factors addedrup to the completion of high school: the ending of twelve years. Many activities throughout the year promoted a certain anxiety, or a feeling sometimes called senioritis, in the seniors that led up to Graduation Day. Sponsored activities to help brighten up the long, sometimes monotonous, school year included the Senior Pancake Breakfast, and the first school dance of the year, sponsored by the Senior- Class. During the year, the Senior Class won many awards for its hard' work and devotion to IHS. Not only did the seniors win best hall decoration for the week of homecoming, but they also won first place in the car decorating contest held during the homecoming parade. During football season, the seniors obtained the spirit spark plug four 'imes in the class competition held during the pep rallies. At Christmas, the Senior Class won the Christmas Decoration Award which entitled the senior representatives to be treated to dinner at Pizza Hut. As freshmen, the Class of 1982 raised money that would, in 1982, be used for the three flag poles and flags now located in the front of the school. Other activities that were held throughout the year for the seniors were the ordering of announcements and the cap and gown measurements, the senior ski trip, college day held at North Lake College, the Senior Revue Talent Show, Sadie Hawkins Dance, the Senior Prom, and of course, Graduation. During the powderpuff victory party held for the senior girls, seniors Delite Debolt and Betty Jo Brown look over the song selection from the juke box at Pizza Inn.

What price graduation? By Dana Johnson ith the graduating date just around the corner, senior students found that their senior year was filled with a number of time and money- consuming activities. The year got off to a flying start with the annual college night. College night was held for any junior or senior students interested in obtaining informa- tion on colleges of their choices. Senior Leann Bufe said, College night was really a big help. There were representatives from a lot of the major colleges who would answer questions about their schools or any career plans that I had. The next event seniors experienced was the taking of the panoramic picture. Students arranged by height in front of the school so that the picture could be made. Students were asked to fill out order forms and pictures were delivered the following week for a fee ofgS6.5O. Along with the other grades, seniors also held class meetings and sign-making parties. Senior In anticipation of graduation, senior Danny Morgan expresses glee as he is fitted for his cap by the company representative. Caps and gowns were sold for 587. meetings were usually held during activity periods, with topics of discussion ranging from prom plans to fund-raising and back again. The class of '82 held various fund-raisers such as car washes and sales to raise money for its four-year project which consisted of donating the new flag poles and flags for the front of the school. The flags were raised this year which' completed the project. Senior Kathy Johnson said, i'It's nice to have something to leave the school that will always be a part of it. The new poles are a great addition to IHSf' The class also began the year by hosting a magazine drive to raise money for the prom. All seniors were asked to sell their quotas of magazines. Overall, the magazine drive turned out pretty good. It wasn't as good as I'd expected it to be, but the drive made a drop in the bucket for the prom, said class president Randy Perkins. The second annual pancake breakfast was held by the seniors, also to raise money for the prom. Senior Marihelen Akins said, Last year the breakfast was a success so we tried to make it an even bigger one this year. Everyone involved had a lot of fun. Tickets were sold by all seniors through their English classes. Aside from the fund-raising events, constant reminders such as cap and gown measurements and graduation announcements ordering kept the seniors aware of the long-anticipated date. Orders for announcements were taken by the Josten's Company prior to Christmas break. Students were asked to pay half the balance and pay the other half on the spring delivery date. The approximate announ- cement expenditure ranged from 9550-3575. The Josten's selection also included miniature diplomas, keys, and extra name cards. Senior Tracey Ginnings said, The announcements were pretty expensive, but it's a once in a lifetime expense, so you might as well make the best of it. Measurements for caps and gowns were also taken during the middle of the year. Students were charged S7 for the cap and gown, while extra tassels could be purchased for 32.25. While seniors found them- selves keeping a hectic schedule full of expenditures, the year and its activities provided a time of memories that could never be Helping to raise money for ,the Pl'0m, senior Marihelen Akins serves pancakes to hungry Saturday breakfasters at the second annual pancake breakfast. forgotten or relived.

Such activities included senior twin day, the senior breakfast, mini-college day, and senior meeting with their counselors. Leading up To The future By Evelyn Boyd any activities were held for the '82 seniors to signify their upcoming gradua- tion. In the fall, the counselors got all the seniors together to give information about colleges and vocational schools and to advise 'the seniors about future plans. It was a good idea to get us all together and clear the air about certain things all at once. I got a lot of my information and ideas during the meeting, said Bryan Bodiford. Then, in the spring there was a mini-college day held at North Lake Junior College all day for the seniors. The seniors chose two classes to attend that might interest them for a future major. I liked it because for one, we got out of school for a day and also it gave us all an idea of what to expect out of college. It made me real excited about going in the fall, said Lori Selbo. For the upperclassmen, senior twin day was the final opportunity to demonstrate good spirit. May 19 was twin day, a day on which costumes and get- Scott Baxter ups of all sorts of different shapes, colors, and sizes were worn by doubles. It took me about a week to get my costume together. It was fun to dress weird at school, said Connie Head, who wore a clown costume. For some, it was difficult to choose who to double up with. Students obviously chose a close friend who had the same tastes as they did in bizarre costumes. I simply picked someone who was crazy enough to wear whatl wanted to wear and who liked the idea of what to dress up as, said Robin Cassingham, who dressed like Mickey Mouse. I didn't mind having some of my students in class participate because it didn't interrupt my class, so it was all right, said Ms. Pat Munro, senior English teacher. Soon after twin day came bike day. However, it was different this year. The seniors were to have met on the Sanger-Harris parking lot at 7 a.m., but they would have all drowned if they had carried out their plans because of heavy rains. Consequently, bike day was cancelled. The senior breakfast consisted of about 200 students joined together at the Quality Inn at 7 in the morning to enjoy breakfast. Sponsored and paid for by the Air Force, the senior breakfast was one of the most enjoyable activities and preceded the awards assembly. For the entertainment of the partici- pants, numbers were placed on the bottoms of some of the chairs and paid off in door prizes for those sitting in selected chairs. The breakfast was a lot of fun, especially 'because it was free,'f said Joanna Yaeger. It made me realize how much I was going to miss my fellow classmates. So these activities wrapped up another year of senior activities for another senior class at IHS. But the events were still only preludes to the real thing: graduation. And graduation was foremost on everyone's mind. Mary Ruth Cole smiles in anticipation of being able to choose her desired class at mini- college day at North Lake as Howard Hughes looks on. Susan Kerry Forby, Richard Coghlan, and Lori Selbo discuss the events that are about to take place and what classes to choose during the mini-college day activities. In the midst of the year, counselors chose a day on which to talk to the seniors to prepare them for the future. Mr. Gordon Wilson advises students such as Jeff Neustifter during activi- ty period.

This dance gave senior girls the chance to 'ask out their four-year heart throbsf' and made it appropriate to do so, in keeping with the main idea of the dance. Couples who attended the dance dressed in western attire, sometimes wearing matching shirts, cowboy boots, and cowboy hats. The evening began for most couples as the girl came to the boy's house, picked him up, and then treated him by taking him out to dinner preceding the dance. Then the couples went to the dance, Hgot hitched, and were given a marriage license to verify the ceremony. After this, couples were granted a three- minute honeymoon to become better-acquainted. I-took my date out to dinner--- I drove---at Trail- Dust Steak House, and then we came to the dance and got married. We had a lot of fun because it was like nothing we've ever attended. I remember hearing about it from some of my senior friends in the past, but I really didn't think I'd have asernuch fun as I ended up having. There were a lot of seniors who attended it and it was decorated real western so you could get in the right mood of the theme, said senior Ella Weathers.

Dressed in a plaid shirt and a striped tie, Mr. Yarborough hitched all who came before him. I liked being asked to the dance and being taken out for a change. I did get asked by the girl I hoped would ask me, which made all the more fun. I liked the Western music, and my date and I wore matching plaid shirts, jeans, and cowboy boots. Ithink the dance was a good idea to be strictly a senior dance, instead of having a Sadie Hawkins Dance for the whole high school.

By Pauline Roderick hroughout the year, the Senior Class sponsored many activities to help raise money needed for special projects or expenses. This year, the seniors sponsored That's Kinda' Interesting, the traditional talent show held yearly since 1979. More money is brought in when you hold a talent show, because any student at IHS is eligible to perform in the show, said senior talent show sponsor Mrs. Lynda Temple. According to Mrs. Temple, there are many more people willing to pay a couple of dollars to see a variety show than a play. Auditions for the talent show began in the first part of March and lasted for two days. During this time, students performed their acts before a panel of judges. Mrs. Temple, and seniors Robin Cassingham, Laura Rogers, and Diann Smith served as judges and selected acts that would make up a variety show. One week was all that it took to completely set-up the talent show. The talent show served a dual purpose by serving as a project to raise money for the Senior Class, as well as providing an opportunity for students of IHS to show their talent, entertain an audience, andjust to take advantage of the chance to get involved in a school activity, said senior talent show sponsor Mr. Steve Hamberger. To prepare for the show, students serving as stage crew had to learn about each act and know exactly where the props went and what was used. The sound and light crews also had to coordinate the lighting and music to each act. During the howhm performances, the sound light crews were located in auditorium balcony, and rl cues from 'the stage by tel from Mr. George Morrow crew's coordinator. He then tell the crew just what was about to start they would stay in coord with the performances. Many different acts were to produce the variety show. ranged from totally rid acts, such as Olivia I' Tom, and f'Mama,s Bo serious rock bands such as Request.

By Anna Harris n this memorable night, girls who ordinarily wore the customary jeans and shirts, and guys whose traditional costumes were basically the same, donned formal dresses and tuxedos. Pick- up trucks were exchanged for the family car, or for some, the more extravagant rented limo. The occasion? The senior prom, of course, which was held at the Dallas Hilton. The dance included upholding traditions, as well as initiating some new ideas. The grand ballroom of the Hilton was ornamented by flowers of all sorts. Each table included a fresh centerpiece surrounding candles, which provided soft lighting for the room. In the buffet area stood a giant '82 ice figure in an enormous punch-fountain. The result of the decorations provided an elegant, sophisticated atmosphere for the dance. Most drastically changed was the form of the dance itself. Rather than being strictly a dance, requiring seniors to eat at a restaurant beforehand, this year's prom included a buffet dinner.

It was a Izod Congregating in front of the Dallas Hilton where the prom was held, a group of seniors prepare to go inside the hotel to enjoy the live band and the dinner. good idea to include the dinner with the dance because it got more people to come to the dance, since it didnit cost as much. Sondra High also liked the idea of a dinner-dance, saying, L'At first I didn't like the idea of everyone eating there, but it seemed like it worked out well because everyone was there together and people weren't coming in late. ltjust seemed a lot more organizedf' Another idea originated at the prom was a slide show which ran continuously in a small roomjust outside the ballroom. It included pictures of many seniors when they were in elementary and junior high schools, as well as some high school shots. The slide show was neat and original. I thought it was really good that they had pictures of us' when we were young, rather than just current slidesf' said Raymond. Senior Mike Mitchell said, The slide show was embarr- assing, but funny. As the evening wore on, and the big T82 slowly melted, seniors danced to music provided by the band Grand Theft, whose drummer was a recent graduate of IHS. They were great! lt's sort ofa tradition to have Jimmy Papa's band theref' Mike said. 1Con't. on page 605 Toasting the Senior Class, senior Bill King and his date Robin Johnson enjoy the punch provided by the caterers.

It was the seniors' night to shine. 'Puhi ng on my best 1hrecds...' QCon'l. from page 591 Dancing was interrupted by the traditional senior walk. As each couple was announced, they walked across the ramp and across the dance floor, enjoying their brief moments of glory. The senior walk provided a chance to see the girls dresses, and, seemingly more important, an opportunity to see who came with whom. Dana Russell said, Iliked the senior walk because a lot of people had boyfriends or girlfriends I had only heard about, but I finally got to see them---not to mention' showing off mine! Ult took a little too long, but it was pretty neat. It was funny because I thought I knew most everyone in the Senior Class, but people walked across that I didnlt even know, remarked Mike. As the seniors walked by, the most noted thing was attire. Most girls wore the popular Southern- Belle type dress, while the guys still wore the traditional tuxedos. Some girls even decided to go with the simplicity of a tux. The Senior Class was provided with the music of Jimmy Papa's band, Grand Theft to dance and listen to at the prom. Senior Jennifer Albright dances to one of the popular tunes. Tad My boyfriend, Scott Brown, and I wore tuxes just to be different. We wanted to really look alike instead of just matching, and since Scott wouldn't wear a dress, we chose tuxes, laughed Sylvia Chavez. I got a lot of compliments. One of my best friends, Joanna Yaeger, and her date also wore matching tuxesf' The chance to wear sophis- ticated clothing was one of the main attractions to the prom. Said Gina Brantley, 'II think my favorite thing about the prom was the elegance. It's not often that we get a chance to dress up and gotoareally nice placeforan evening. As the prom drew to a close, the '82 finally fell and the seniors left the ballroom and got into their cars. The fine clothing was exchanged for jeans, and the prom-goers returned to being party-goers. Cinderella time was over, but the memories of the night would hold a special place in the minds of the seniors for a long time to come.

Theresa Kin ser Although graduation was considered the ultimate culmination of 12 years in school, the awards assembly Was considered the ultimate culmination of the most important of those 12 years, the four that were spent in high school. The winners lake GI By Leslie White 6 6 The 1982 Top Tiger is...the Lair Salutes senior...Who's Who in English is... . These common phrases were much more than common to 425 young adults. These simple words brought recognition to seniors for four years of hard work, headaches, and homework in the symbolic form of medals and plaques. Annually, the awards assembly sponsored by the Lair Staff, served as the culmination of four years of academic and extracurricular success. Depart- mental Who's Whos were awarded to students after selection by specific instructional area teachers, Lair Salutes were awarded to students on the basis of what they had achieved in academic, extracurricular, and social areas, and the two most prestigious awards, Top Tiger and Top Tigerette were presented to the most involved boy and girl seniors in the school. The awards were traditionally presented by members of the Lair Staff. Other achievements were also recognized at the assembly, including the presentation of the top ten graduating seniors and the recognition of seniors receiving scholarships, in addition to a handful of awards presented by various faculty members for individual achievements in specific departments and clubs. In recognition of his intense involvement in activities such as the student council, basketball, baseball, and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Pat Collini was named Top Tiger of 1982. I felt great, proud. I really did not expect to get it. I thought that Ray fCerdaJ would get it and that did present a degree of awkwardness between us for a few minutes but we are good enough friends to overlook the fact that we competed with each other for the same awards, Pat said. I was involved in all of those activities because it was fun, not to win awards. The more things that you're involved in, the funner high school is and I wanted to make the most ofit, he added. The recipient of Who's Who in Science as well as a Lair Salutes, senior Kevin Day was surprised that he received the award because of the many people who excelled in the academic area. I was surprised because I hadn't really thought that I would get that one. I thought I maybe had a chance because there were a lot of people in science who could have easily received that award. In a way I think I deserved it, but there were a lot of other people that deserved it, toof' Kevin said. Although the tradition of the Lair Staff members bestowing hugs and kisses on the recipients of the Who's Who, Lair Salutes, and Top Tiger!Tigerette awards ended last year at the request of the school administrators, students did not fully realize that the practice had truly died until this year. I think it was a good idea because it took up too much time to all of that carrying on and .'s more dignified, senior Beverly Culpepper said. For the first time in many years, the audience consisting of the senior assembly, the underclassmen, and the faculty, along with a few senior parents, did not respond with standing ovations and applause as much as in past years, especially with the Lair Salutes, and Top Tiger and Top Tigerette awards. I really donit have any reason for it, Beverly said. 'tThe Senior Class was not as enthused as in past years and that may have accounted for it because the seniors traditionally lead the applause and standing ova- tions.

Baccalaureate services provided a last time for students to talk and say goodbye. In their final step before graduation, seniors looked to a more spiritual sort of guidance by attending Baccalaureate services with seniors from MacArthur and Nimitz to invest in their futures with religion as a unifying factor. Joining By Dana Johnson tarting the beginning of the end, the soon-to-be- graduates from Irving, Nimitz, and MacArthur gathered at Texas Stadium for Bacca- laureate Services. While the ceremony began promptly at 8:30, the graduates began arriving early in order to find their groups and talk with friends for one of the last times. Senior Shannon Huddleston said, K'I'm glad that they have a Baccalaureate. It gives the class time to be together as a group once more before the big graduation night. I wasn't really sure what Baccalaureate was all about but I'm glad I came. It will be almost as memorable as commencement in the future, said Ben Jennings. - While seniors from Mac- Arthur were required to attend the service, the attendance of Irving and Nimitz graduates was somewhat low. Graduation organizer Ms. Georgia Beth Walker said, I was really disappointed that only a little over half of the seniors attended Baccalaureate. To me it would be something that the seniors would want to attend and never forget. As the time to begin came closer, students were asked to find their faculty sponsors and spiriTucJI line up in order for the processional. At this time the seniors were also checked for proper attire. Vice-Principal Ms. Daisy Yarborough said, Overall, most ofthe seniors were dressed properly, but there were a few of the young men who failed to wear a tie and were asked to leave or borrow one. As the processional was played and the graduates were seated, Valedictorian Branch Moody started the program with the invocation. This was followed by the playing of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, performed by the three schools' combined choirs and the Irving High band under the direction of IISD Director of Music Mr. Woody Schober. A scripture was read by MacArthur Valedic- torian Amy Meeker and the benediction was given by Kim Karnes, Nimitz valedictorian. The address was given by Plymouth Park Methodist Church Minister Reverend David Shawver. As the recessional was played and the colorful array of robes left the stadium, a rain shower ended the service. Lasting only a few minutes, the rain was welcomed by most of the people because it helped cool off the humid May evening.

After sitting in Texas Stadium on a sultry, hot Thursday night for two hours, that was it. Gone, almost as if by a snap of a finger. Although the traditional form of graduation held no surprises for the seniors---although the threat of a downpour was as real as the large hole in the top of the stadium---the opinions of the 425 individuals differed in circum- stances of what graduation meant and how they felt about high school now that it was over. The members of the Senior Class sat in one large group in the stands before going down gradually by rows to receive their diplomas on stage. Because it was a hot and humid night, seniors found themselves uncomfortable in their heavy caps and gowns. Sherri Taylor Graduation means a new future ahead for mef' Rhonda Everheart said. lt's really not the end of school because I still have to go on to college and have a career to look forward to. The graduation ceremony, in itself, held many opportunities for memories to form for the future, although many seniors claimed that the traditional walk across the big stage in the sky would provide them with their most vivid memory ofthe once-in- a-lifetime night. I will always remember walking across. the stage. It seemed like the most important part because I was receiving my diploma and that's what was most important to me, Rhonda said. Others stated that they would remember the valedictory and salutatory addresses made by Branch Moody and Tammy Martin, respectively, while others would remember the turning of the tassels to signify graduation, as opposed to the walk across the stage. 'Tll remember graduation because it was the last time that the whole class will ever be together againf' said Mary Brown. L'I'll remember it as the night that we were finally out and able to go our own separate ways. The thing I'll miss most about high school is seeing everybody. I realize that a lot of friendships will fade after summer and college starts, she added. Considering the four years that made up the Irving High School experience, seniors cited various reasons why they would remember high school, but there was one prevalent opinion that unified the class. No matter how much students disliked school or were tired of the same old routine, they all agreed, readily or grudgingly, that they would most definitely miss it. Before filing into the stadium seating, seniors were asked to line-upintwodifferentgroupson ramps to simplify the disorgan- ization inevitable with 425 graduating seniors.

At an after school practice, Tim Spears dribbles the ball down the field. Attendance at the basketball games increased significantly this year with the stands often being filled to capacity. The girls' team especially experienced a surge in attendance. Brian Bowden athletics By Leslie White any of us heard the IHS 1981-82 athletic seasons referred to as 'building years, by many coaches. Terming the season as a building year was often a polite Way to state that the season was mediocre or just plain ordinary. The varsity football team ended its season with a disappointing win-loss record of 2-8. Although the team members met with adversity throughout the entire season, they surprised us all through their extraordinary determined mental attitudes about the season and themselves, never giving up even in the grimmest of situations. After many years of existing only as an extracurricular sport, soccer was finally recognized and sanctioned by the University lnterscholastic League QUILJ as a state-- sponsored athletic competition. Because the details had not been worked out until the early fall, two faculty members, Coach Jimmy Morris, and Ms. Lucinda Sanders, were called in to function as the teams' coaches. The girls' and boys' cross country teams combined into one athletic unit under the coaching of Ms. Anne Uhr this season. The boys' team, formerly led by track coach Mr. Darrel Aldridge, came under the watchful coaching eye of Ms. Uhr, who had coached the girls' team for the past 13 years. Among us, there was much speculation concerning these changes and disappointing seasons in athletics. The fact that the teams faced up to radical changes and hardships with unusual strength of purpose, labeled them all, coaches and players, as out of the ordinary..

Their actions did not live up to their expectations. By Missy Fazekas he varsity football team began the year with the 'prediction of a successful season from both the players and the coaches. At the beginning of the season, Ihonestly thought we could have won district, said senior Mike Mitchell. We predicted a good season, but what you predict seasons on is how many lettermen are returning from the year before. By using that as an indicator of the season, we did not look very good because we only had six returning startersf, said Coach Wayne Tyrone. In the spring off-season it looked as though there were going to be seven returning seniors, but senior quarterback Ray Cerda lost the use of his lower torso and legs in a tragic accident following the spring game. Ray could not be a participating player of the team, but he was a part of the team,just the same. When I saw them practice, I missed it...deeply. And when they lost, I lost right along with them,', said Ray. The season started out with a series of losses against non- district teams. The games we played prior to district were tough ones. We played Sherman very well. They gave up 53 points all year, and we got 20 of them, said Coach Tyrone. Because of the three consecutive non-district losses, the team began district play with a certain amount of adversity. They finished the first district game against Nimitz with a disheartening loss. i'After the Nimitz game, the season started going a little downhill because we thought we could win and when we didnlt win, it upset us,', said senior Marc Schmitz. The Tiger team came back from its initial losses with a win against South Grand Prairie. On that same night, the players learned of the Nimitz game forfeit. Nimitz' varsity football team had a 19-year-old player who had played in the first few games and had been a team member for five years, which made him ineligible to play. Nimitz turned itself in to the district UIL committee, forfeiting every game they had won in which the ineligible player participated. It was an oversight on Nimitz' part. All players must turn in eligibility cards to show fCon't. on page 725 Susan Bollinger Coach Wayne Tyrone and Dave Klett embrace when the final buzzer declares Irving the winners over Duncan- ville, putting an end to a disappointing season for the Tigers.

We won two games in one week, and that doesnlt happen very often. The Grand Prairie game was a thriller and of course, the Nimitz forfeit all happened in one week. That gave us something to work for in the future, Coach Tyrone said. The Tigers failed to achieve another victory until the final game against Duncanville. The Duncanville game was the most important game to us ego-wise. It made everything worthwhile and it gave the seniors a good feeling, said Russell Jordan. There were several reasons why the team and coaches felt the season was not successful, The size and number of players was an obvious disadvantage. The competition was tough and our numbers were few.

Because of the lack of back-up support, the welfare of the players was a major concern. This was the first year that I've coached in which I've been really concerned about the welfare of the players simply because we were so small in size and number. This year sometimes our objective was to get through a game healthy, said Coach Tyrone. The lack of unity among the players seemed to be another reason for the unsuccessful season. In my opinion, one of the weaknesses of the team was that they were not close. I felt that a football team slicxild pull together fand be closer, said Coach Tyrone. Mentally, the players prepared themselves by discussing the upcoming game in meetings every Thursday afternoon. Some preferred to joke and keep the atmosphere light, while others prepared themselves alone for the next game.

If we had been more together, maybe we would have won some gamesf' With the team's 3-7 record, it was not hard to understand the disappointment which was felt by the team and coaches.

Despite the season record, the 1981 football team was not classified as a losing team by the coaches. 'LA losing season is when the character of the kid or team breaks down and they begin to show performance of a loser, and I didn't think that happened to us, said Coach Taft. We could have gone back and done a million things different but we could never pinpoint what went wrong, said Mike Mitchell. The 1981 football team was a wonderful group of kids, they were unfortunate in the 1 that there just were not many themfl said Coach Tyrone. Winning was not the major priorityg the players that enjoying themselves just as important. L'Just b we had a losing season didn mean it wasn't worth it.

Frosh, JV scores help lift spirits The freshman and JV football teams really came through when the school needed something to raise their spirits after a disappointing varsity SCEISOH. By Cameron Schluter inishing the season with a 9-1 record, the members and coaches of the freshman football team were both pleased and relieved. Coach Steve Vaughan said, We had high hopes for this team and the guys really pulled it through. These players are well on their way toward their varsity training. The season record of 6-4 for the junior varsity was not what the JV coaches and team had hoped for and expected. Coach Darrel Aldridge said, We should have lost the first two games against Sherman and then Lake Highlands, We just weren't prepared enough and the other team was better prepared at that time, and they overpowered us. But in the Trinity game, the coach continued, we were prepared but we made silly mistakes, not only the team, but the coaches, too. One thing that helped both the freshman and JV teams was the strong friendships among the players. Coach Aldridge said, It is good to have a little controlled rivalry among players, it makes the team work harder, but don't let it get out of handf' Tony Williams, a member of the JV team commenting about the friendliness among team members said, We had an excellent season this year, and the good spirits and friendship between us really helpedf' Freshman Coach Vaughan cited Kraig Parker, quarterbackj Norbert Osborn, fullback, and Terrence Jackson, also a fullback, as some of the more valuable team players. Coach Aldridge of the JV said that there was no way that he could point Sophomore Glenn Dominiec swiftly slips past Viking defensive players to go on to make another touchdown and help to defeat the Vikings in the victorious Irving-Nimitz game. out certain players as being outstanding because without the other players those individuals would not have succeeded. According to the coaches, the JV team really played its best this year following a loss. It made the team even more determined in its efforts. Following the teamls 7-21 loss to Trinity, the team came back and worked twice as hard to win its next game against MacArthur. It did win that game by a 17-0 score. Also, after a 14-36 loss to Grand Prairie the team came back determined to beat L.D. Bell, a difficult opponent. It was a hard game, but the whole team contributed and it won 37-7. The freshman team had a successful season, losing only one game, the second game of the season, against Duncanville. There were, according to team members, many different reasons why the team lost this game. Some say it was because this game followed the freshman team's loss of Shawn Sweat to the JV team. Others attributed the defeat to the fact that the team was coming off an open week. This reason was one cited by Coach Vaughan as instrumental in the loss. 'tAn open week helps some teams and it hurts some teams, it hurt us.', Although the team lost that game O-9, it was not a signal as to how the rest' of the season ,would turn out because the team won every game that followed climaxing the season by winning district. f In contrast to a long and difficult season for the varsity football team, the success of the JV and freshman teams provided interest and a much-needed rallying point for the student body.

But although the girls did not relish another losing season, they realized that Winning was not the only thing in the world worth fighting for. By Evelyn Boyd nder the guidance of second year coach, Aaron Collier, the 1981 varsity volleyball team posted a 2-14 season record. Practice for the year commenced on Aug, 10 with players running several miles each day at Lively Park and vigorous training in skills such as spiking, serving, digging, volleying, and blocking. They in the summer and before and after school for an hour or two when the season started. Players felt the workouts were hard work, but the coaches stressted they were a must in order for the team to do well against its opponents. I certainly did not enjoy the training when it interferred with my time so much, but it made us better volleyball players, said junior Lilia Soto. The two victories of the year were against the L.D. Bell Raiders twice during district play. The scores were 15-0, 15-0 at their first meet on Oct. 6, and 15- 0, 15-0 at their second meet on Oct. 29. These victories definitely brought everyone's spirits up. The 11 girls comprising the team dedicated long hours to compete in a fast-paced schedule of two games a week. The captain of the team, junior Lisa Taylor, attained all-district honorable mention for her hard work and devotion. I have been playing volleyball for three years now and itseems thatforthe firsttime we had plenty of spirit and teamwork. Competition was very stiff. The main thing I'd say that hurt us the most was our spikes. Every time we lost a game we would want to try harder, Lisa said. V As far as the attitude and morale of the young athletes at the beginning and end of the season was considered, there was not a visible change despite the team's record.

Deborah said, Volley- ball is not that big a sport here at Irving but there really is a lot more to it than people think. Our major strength is in our serves. We had great servers like Lisa Taylor and Carrie Moses. It doesn't bother us so much that we lose the games but that we have no support from our school except for the parents of the players. Ouropponents would have the students of that school watching and even their drill teams were there to cheer them onf' Deborah added.

Starting on Aug. 17, which only gave them two weeks to practice for the tough games ahead, the girls began working on their playing skills. In order to get into good shape, they ran several miles each day over the summer, as well as lifting weights to improve muscle tonne. After the season began, they continued to lift weights and concentrated on their serving, spiking, and blocking. The team was led in its efforts by sophomore Trenda Jones, captain of the team. Since the Irving junior highs don't have a volleyball' program, unlike other schools around that we play, we have less experience than they do. That really did make a big difference in our playing game, she said. Similar to the varsity team, the JV players found themselves having a tough time with their offense but with a competent defense. We couldn't work together as a team very well, although we each had good skills individu- ally. We got used to losing, but it made us want to try harder, said -Nancy Hansard, ajunior.

The coach really came down on us hard for losing, but that makes us better players since we know what our problems are now, she added. The coach of the ten-girlteam was Aaron Collier. They are a good team and with a little harder work and more concen- tration on what they are doing they could become an even better team and win more games. A major factor causing our downfall was that they lacked quickness and height. What ithey lacked in experience they made up for with aggressive action. ln spite of a losing season record, the team members said they were proud of their hard work and the development of their skills to make next year a better year.

Many people claim running as a poor excuse for releasing energy suppressed over a large amount of time. Others who have a negative attitude towards the sport see it as a fad that citizens will gradually grow out of. In spite of its reputation, running--- competitive running in particu- lar---has persisted in attracting many ambitious leggers, not because they are all trying to achieve muscular legs and limber skeletal structures, but primarily because they really enjoy the sport. This discussion brings us to some runners closer to home. They were commonly and collectively known as the cross country team and a rumor states that their little feet rubbed elbows with the cementn on several occasions. Although many spectators may have seen cross country running as a type of preparatory session for the real', track season, the runners and coach of this small, but growing group of go-getters, realized the impor- tance of their sport and its Mike Kopf I growing distinction. The cross country season proved that coaching skills do not differ as much from teaching skills as was once believed. As many athletic instructors have demonstrated, just as much belief, understanding, and patience are needed in directing a team to a winning season as is needed for any teacher to instruct a class. ln fact, psychology reflects a central aspect of how a coach controls his her team. Such was the case with cross country coach Ms. Anne Uhr. As athletic tutor'i of both girls' and boys' cross country teams, Ms. Uhr displayed her true talents in dealing with both genders, while 4 earning the participants' respect. I worry along with the students because I know that it makes them feel more at ease. I stress hard work, but being mentally alert is the key to being a success in athletics of any sort. No student can progress unless he has the incentive to do so, said Coach Uhr. Winning was a very important goal of the cross country team, as it is of any athletic group. But winning meets was not the only goal in sight for the team members. As Coach Uhr was said to have pointed out on several occasions to team members, Self- confidence is a victory in She continued, If a knows he gave it his all the best possible, then he be proud.

If that wasn't enough to make the old thighs ache, afternoon practices meant strutting through 440's and 880's. Said Ms. Uhr, Most long distance runners carry into the track season, so it is necessary for this type of endurance training. The girls' team placed third in district and the boys' placed fifth. I really do not like to single out any one runner, but those who were really dedicated know it and they are the ones who should be proud, said Coach Uhr. Although the girls were expected to go further in their accomplishments, some individ- uals did excel.

HI think the season turned out really well and we decided that the best way to do anything was as a team. Ms. Uhr was a great help, said junior Lisa Bowles.

The team members' opinions of what made a good runner differed slightly. Someone who is very serious about the sport and puts their mind to it and is -Henry Ham really concerned about doing well is a good runner, said senior Henry Ham. The teams' first meet at Cedar Valley campus in Lancaster, was a small event but did a lot to raise morale as the team won the meet by a landslide. Other favorite meets included one at the University of Dallas, where the team lost the chance of winning by only one point and another at the district meet at Vandergriff Park in Arlington where the courses were reportedly smooth and scenic. A meet noted for being difficult was the Narbuck Park meet at White Rock Lake. The park was divided into two separate sections and both were extremely hard, said junior Diana Sandoval. Long distance running for the girls consisted of running two miles for an average meet and on certain occasions, 2.2 miles. Distinguishing themselves by consistently placing at meets, were senior Paul Casey and junior Diana Sandoval. Finishing third in district and 37th in regionals, Paul Casey was reported to have beaten everybody in his own local district.

By Chris Sekin he crowd remained motionless and the only . sound that could be heard was the air conditioning system in the giant and spirited gym. Heavy breathing filled the air and the pressure commenced its build up on a player who knew that his free throw would determine the thrill of victory or the dreaded agony of defeat. Although watching a varsity basketball game may have proven more ,than enjoyable for ambitious fans, players of the sport saw the game as a serious- sided athletic program that affected school unity and self- determination. Even though the players seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with certain aspects of the year, their overall emotion toward the season was one that displayed their struggle to achieve individual honor, their ability to accept last minute defeat in neck-in-neck games, and their unending ambition to continue doing the best possible under any circumstances. Whether personal goals were reached or not, the players' regular hot streaks distinguished the l98l-82 basketball season as one of frequent professional outbursts of basketball mastery. We had a fairly-good season. We were hot and then we had cold streaks, but I feel we learned several helpful lessons, said junior Glenn Sullivan. Choosing the course that most athletic programs take, the team followed a route of dedication in the development of skills and capability. Persuading and training players to shoot for reasonable goals was the job of Coach Mike Kunstadt. Different players make a different season. this season had its highs and its lows. Those who responded positively saw the advantage but some did not, said Coach Kunstadt. Said Coach Kunstadt, We began practice on Oct. 15 and games commenced on Nov. 16 and by then we had our goals in mind. Even though physical preparation played a major role in the success of the team, the morale that was developed added to the interdependence shared by all team members.

Said Coach Kunstadt, The only way we could even consider playing the present schedule was to gain a positive morale and reason for winning this year. Similar to seasons of earlier days, this year the Tigers faced an exceptionally tough schedule affronting Houston Yates of San Antonio and Houston Kashmere, two teams recognized as being almost undefeatable. Although players admitted that their schedule lacked mercy, they played relatively close games which they said displayed their skill despite losses. Said senior Pat Collini, I really enjoyed the tournament against Houston Yates because we almost beat them and that shows how hard we really play. One honorable accomplish- ment that the Tigers were recognized for this year was their attainment of being city champions by going 2-0 against MacArthur and 3-0 against Nimitz. Their last season game against Nimitz displayed overwhelming spirit and valor as the Tigers went into double overtime winning the game in the last minute, 77-75. The victory put the team in a three-way tie for second place in district with the two Grand Prairie schools. Although age usually had little influence on ability, experience did payoff for upperclassman Pat Collini, the only senior on the team, who felt a responsibility of his own. Because I was the only senior, I felt that I should lead the team in some way, Even though Pat was filled with team loyalty, he complained of insufficient support on the part of the school in some games. Said Pat, I was disappointed with the fans. The people who did show up were good fans, but there were not enough of them. If more fans had shown up and cheered, then I think we would have even played better. The Tigers kicked off the season with a boom against Sunset, a one-point slide defeating long-time rival, Highland Parkg a runaway game against Longview Pinetreeg and a proud victory over S.A. Judson. The game against S.A. Judson was one of my worst games because I only got four points the whole game, said junior Bertram Cooper. But along with the glory, the team suffered a loss against Arlington Bowie, an expected defeat against highly-ranked Houston Kashmere, two hard losses against Samuell, and an Bill Norman upset from Sherman. The team's season win-loss record of 17-15 and district record of 8-6 explained the close-knit competency of the opposition this season. Said junior Jake Smith, I think we could have won 20 games but we improved a lot over last season. The commencement of the district season showed the Tigers losing to the Duncanville Panthers and Grand Prairie, but quickly gaining stamina to defeat the long-time rival Trinity Trojans. One of my memorable games was the first district game against Duncanville. The game was disheartening because we beat them statistically, but they had more points, said Pat Collini. The continuing first half of the district season saw the Tigers win five meets consecutively, against MacArthur, Nimitz, Bell, and Duncanville, and a runaway defeat against South Grand Prairie. The Trinity game was great because my free throws, in my opinion, won the game or at least helped, said Bertram Cooper. The last game of the first half of district saw the Tigers enemy, Nimitz. The Nimitz game was exciting because we played to our limits and weren't about to let them win in the last minute, saidjunior Scott Brown. 1Con't. on page 5l7l Bill Norman Junior Glenn Sullivan tries to keep a safe distance from an enclosing Duncanville player while keeping his sharp aim on a not-so-distant goal.

Said junior Scott Brown, The beginning was real good, but I think after our win against Duncanville, we took all other teams lightly. A special virtue of playing basketball was patience. Two famous brothers of the team, Jake and Jim Smith, learned that brotherhood meant being patient. Said Jim, It usually doesn't make any difference having a brother on the team unless we are going out for the same position. On the other hand, there were advantages in such a situation. It made a big difference having Mike Kopf Junior Keith Rogers grabs for a rebound in a game against MacArthur.

The season ended though, and it was time to hang up the towel, clean the sneakers that saw everything, and think about next year in high school basketball or in college, for some. The 1981-82 basketball schedule may not have been one that would be remembered for its ups and downs as much as it would be for its memories, its lessons, and the friendships that were gained.

The morale of the freshman and JV teams played a major role in the final points of many games. Every once in a while we would get down, and we would have to jump back and try again. But by the time we had started to come back, it was already too late, said Eddie Littleton of the JV team. Even though the freshman and JV teams had morale, respect, and discipline, they still lacked the major factor that contributed to a good solid team: Freshman B Basketball Scorecard Irving Opponent 41 Burleson ' 26 42 Lakeview 37 36 North Mesquite 47 39 Eastern Hills 28 49 Samuell 48 35 Duncanville 32 71 North Mesquite 78 54 North Mesquite 56 56 Mesquite 44 57 Bishop Dunne 55 46 Waxahachie 39 36 West Mesquite 30 46 Mesquite 54 48 Western Hills 56 55 Eastern Hills 57 48 MacArthur 32 35 Grand Prairie 24 35 South Grand Prairie 50 39 South Grand Prairie 29 34 Nimitz 19 46 Duncanville 40 36 Duncanville 35 39 MacArthur 34 38 Grand Prairie 31 30 MacArthur 26 40 South Grand Prairie 41 22 South Grand Prairie 26 43 Duncanville 46 48 Nimitz '46 Season Record: 19 wins, 10 losses height.

And to give you some idea of how tall they really were, one of their players was nicknamed 'Tree,' and it wasn't' hard to understand why when you were standing in front of him, or rather below him. The JV team worked hard this season to make up for the inexperience of its players. The JV had three freshmen in its starting line-up. Most of the teams the JV was up against consisted of sophomores and juniors. With this experience differential, the JV's 8-19 record pleased them. The freshman Black and Gold teams finished with winning season records. The Black team, coached by Steve Hamberger, finished with a 15-12 season record. The Gold team, coached by Tommy Sills, finished its season with a 19-10 overall record and a 10-4 in district competition. Coach Sills believed the freshman Gold team was an exceptionally good team for freshmen. One thing he believed contributed to the record of the Gold team was that the players were able to keep themselves up without much help from him. Attempting to out-jump his opponent, freshman Shawn Sweat shoots for two points. -Eddie Littleton Even though the freshman teams finished with good records, some team members believed that they could have done better. As Myron Wynn said, We started out really good. We wanted to win every game. We onlylostonegamein postseason. But then after we lost about three of our district games, everything seemed to just go downhill. I think if we could have got a taste of winning we could have done a great deal better. Coach Randy Feemster, even though unhappy with the season, believed the JV team to have a great deal of potential as they proved in their game against Mesquite. 'fWe were down 13 points in the last three minutes and 20 seconds of the game and we scored the next 20 points to go on to win the game. After all the scores were tallied, it was obvious to the coaches that these young men were developing into varsity basketball material, and by the time that they would be on varsity, they felt they would probably make Irving a winner on the scoreboard, as well as in their morale, respect, and discipline for the game of basketball. During a time out, Coach Tommy Sills discusses game plans with the freshman black team members.

Q Z Out of the shadows With girls, sports usually being in the shadow of boys' sports, the girls' varsity basketball team's successful season helped to shine some light in that dark corner. By Missy Fazekas etting goals and trying to accomplish them were the major driving forces for the girls' varsity basketball team during its 1982 season. That driving force pushed them to a notably successful season. The girls had an excellent attitude. They weren't afraid to work hard, and shed a little sweat out on the court, said Coach Terry Burkhalter. Workouts started very early for the girlsg before school even began, they had practices during the summer in order to prepare them for a predicted winning season, Those summer workouts got the team accustomed to each player's abilities and mainly to the strategies, rules, and manners of a new coach. Their former coach Ron Berry, who transferred over to his hometown school to pursue a coaching job, was replaced by Terry Burk- halter, the former coach of the DeSoto basketball team. The girls had to learn new playing techniques, new defensive strategies, and a new set of offensive plays and drills. Coach Burkhalter worked on ball handling techniques and the extra practice with ball handling helped a lot, said Lisa Sweat. Coach Burkhalter was an excellent coach. He had that type of personality that seemed to make us work at practices and games. He told us our faults and how to correct them, but he also praised us when we did our best, said Michelle Herrick. All the preparation paid off for the team. They emerged from their pre-season play with a winning record which built their confidence up for district competition. The first game of district play was against the strongest team in the state, lluncanville.

The Tigers broke Duncanville's winning steak of 107 consecutive games. The team received instant recognition for beating the reigning queen of the basketball court. The player who received the most deserved recognition was Lisa Sweat, who held the 9-5A scoring record for averaging 20 points a game. Lisa was selected the girls' basketball player of the week by the Dallas Morning News and the Dallas Times Herald and was quoted asbeinga coach's dream by Coach Burkhalter. Lisa said she was very honored and pleased with such distinctive recognition. I was surprised about it. I didn't expect such a high award at all, but I was very happy about it, Lisa said. Susan Hollinger Senior Lisa Sweat uses a defensive stance to give herself an advantage over her opponent. Executing a difficult jump shot, Katrina Crainey scorcs another two points for the Tigers. During district play, the team went on to beat many teams who it was predicted to fall to including Trinity, MacArthur, and L.D. Bell. In spite of its victories, the team occasionally was beaten by opponents which it felt it should have beaten. We've beaten many of the district teams that many people thought we couldn't beat at the beginning of the year. Despite our off and on luck, we had a mathematical chance of going to the playoffs, said Coach Burkhalter. Their mathematical chance included Duncanville's losing two games, and the Tigers winning the rest of theirs. Their hopes died when Duncanville added two more wins to its record, while Irving lost to Nimitz in the last district game. Even with this loss, the team did end up with a second place standing in district.

I was really proud of the varsity team, said Coach Burkhalter. What factors contributed to the team's success? Team members realized that Coach Burkhalter was responsible for putting the team on an equal level as other high-ranked teams in the district. Coach Burkhalter was good as a coach. His drills prepared us for everything. He was one of the main reasons for part of the success this year, said Michelle Herrick. The off-the-court cohesiveness of the team members was also an advantage which contributed to success on the court. Our team was real close this year. That helped our season's record immensely, because we could understand each other on the icourt, as well as off the court, 'said Michelle. Probably the most obvious and as of yet, unheralded reason, for the winning season was the excellent playing abilities of the team members. By giving 100 percent during school practices, after-school workouts, and during the games, the girls developed many skillful playing techniques. I had three seniors that might have the best chances for scholarships. I relied greatly on their outside shooting and overall strong offense. I'l1 miss them, said Coach Burkhalter. The 1982 season helped to bring out girls' basketball, which had been overlooked for so many years due to the popularity of boys' basketball. The coach hoped that the winning season would help the girls' team growin popularity, causing yet another wave of Tiger Pride to sweep the school.

A matter of teamwork A key to winning a game is unity of a team and that is one thing that the junior varsity and the freshmen girls possessed. In their premiere as a team playing together, the high-spirited freshmen demonstrated talent while the junior lady Tigers exhibited experience and pride. By Evelyn Boyd 981-82 brought the realization of a promising future for the freshman and JV girls' basketball teams. To Ms. Mary Joyce Baker, the two-year freshman coach, the season held optimism for the teams of athletes, prior to its beginning. I thought we did real well, and it was a good season. The girls had a lot of talent and ifthey will continue to cultivate it and remain motivated, they will become exceptional. They all had their skills down pat and I'm very proud of them all, said Coach Baker. Among their strong points, according to the coach, were their size and ability to shoot accurately. We had some terrific inside shooters and our height was an asset, Coach Baker said. A shift of attitudes took effect during the season for the teammates.

Freshman Lisa Philips said, It was not too good at the beginning, but as we became better friends and closer to each other, we were more of a teamf, Working out at 7:30 each morning until the end of first period, the team concentrated on improving its unpolished skills. They primarily worked on defense, ball handling, and faster play execution. Working the ball into the back people, our offense improved although it was still a weak point for us, Vickie Fetch stated. Some of the girls needed to work on individual skills, as well as teamwork, in keeping with their beginning status as players. UI had to work real hard on my ball handling and snappy passes, said Shana Willis. The freshman team was derived from two successful basketball teams at the junior high level CAustin and Crockettj. They acquired better habits and plays as a result of combining Karen Williams attempts to score points for Irving as she executes a lay-up while her teammates and the rival team, the Grand Prairie Gophers, watch in sheer anticipation.

The whole team pulling together produced a good record, however, several of the exceptional players cited by Coach Baker were Lisa Phillips, Karen Williams, and Paula Nevil. t'They all seemed to reall enjoy the games, although we all did, and knew what was expected of them. They worked extra hard on improving their playing game and it worked out well. They all have plenty of potential, Vickie said. Denise Johnson said, When we played Castleberry High, Lisa made an attempt shot while the final buzzer went off, putting us 1Con'l, on page 1101 Freshman Basketball Scorecard Irving Opponent 30 Bishop Lynch 10 31 DeSoto 17 28 Bishop Lynch 21 31 North Garland ll 37 DeSoto 25 32 Mesquite 15 32 Crowley 19 17 MacArthur 19 39 Nimitz 26 15 Mesquite 6 35 Grapevine 32 44 Grand Prairie 28 35 Duncanville 54 51 South Grand Prairie 39 59 Grand Prairie 56 26 South Oak Cliff 62 40 Castleberry 42 30 MacArthur 21 39 Duncnnville 26 58 South Grand Prairie 36 40 Nimitz 42 Season Record: 17 wins, 7 losses At a game against Duncanville, Suzanne Warder expresses anticipation at the result of her free throw.

The teammates relied on one another to attain the tCnn't. from page 1085 into overtime. Unfortunately, we only lost by a few points but we put up some great competition. Scoring points seemed to come easier to the team than preventing the opponents from making the points, showing a defense technically inferior to offense. Although our offense was aggressive, the defense was a little weak. We drilled on it before the season started, but it was just one of those things that stopped us from being the final winners in the end,', said Coach Baker. Spirit was always considered a plus, in an athletic situation, especially to the JV team. Its' awesome power often was the determining factor of whether or not the team won or lost. The team was quick to realize what importance this factor would play in the season. The people that did have the spirit made up for the people that didn't. It is always easy to have plenty ofit in an exciting game, said junior Sharon Perkins. To prepare themselves for the upcoming season, the girls worked out beginning in mid- October. As a team, the girls polished up on certain skills for an hour and a half at school each day to improve their playing game. t'Our defense was much better than our offense. We had problems with shooting because of our height and we simply had to work a little more on our ball handling and rebounding. I saw more improvement during our games at the end of the season, said Coach Dana Darnell-Clark. There was no actual appointed captain or co-captain goal. for the entire season, however, junior Susan Batot was generally mentioned as the most valuable player by the team members, as a result of being all-tournament at the DeSoto Tournament before district play began. I usually assign captains at intervals for each game. That way all the girls got leadership qualities through experience like this. Susan is one of the exceptional players, although all of them are fine athletes, and she has a good future in basketball ahead of her, Coach Darnell- Clark said. The morale of the young athletes was one factor that helped the playing ability of the team. Everyone was encouraging and helpful if a play was not successfully executed. It was nice to see the way that we all got along. If we argued a lot we would have got nothing accomplished this year. It just seemed to make it more enjoyable to work out and call yourself a part of the team, said Karen Hoot. All the members of the team had one goal and that was to win a title. Some of the players had personal goals, however, and most of those were achieved. Suzanne Warder said, I tried to work real hard as a part of the team to make those points, but as an individual I was happy with my playing game. With hours worth of drilling, I finally learned howto overcome my bad habits. As the year ended with no trophy to call their own, the girls felt that they did not lose. Rather, they were optimistic concerning their futures with the knowledge that they had tried. 9 5 ffff A 5 Q X G h-f P1 Y Alum nz, Pi Members succeed despitesmalltea Senior John Attwood contemplates his next move in order to drop his opponent to the mat.

'4Since we were such a small roup of gymnasts, we were not uccessful as a team, but we did ave some very strong individuals that were willing to work hard, said Coach Mark agar, first year coach. Those individuals who did well throughout the season were Danny Sapp, Tim Sweat, Vickie Parrish, and Linda McMahan, as ited by Coach Ragar. It was hard for a person to ecome a good gymnast when they had just begun as reshmen and that was the eason for such a few, strong individual gymnasts, but there were those who worked hard and did very well, considering the lack of experience, said Coach Ragar. The members of the gymnas- tics team became accustomed to very hard workouts both during the season, and after. When competitions took place, the team had workouts both during third period and also two nights a week Performing a handstand on the eam, junior Linda McMahan hows the stress and concen- tration on her face. Mike McLean for two and a half hours. After competition ended, the team had strenuous weight lifting workouts two times a week to improve their strength, as well as their level of gymnastic abilities. Improving the gymnasts strength did a considerable amount of good because by making them stronger, it boosted their morale and made them work harder, said Coach Ragar. The team did lack some in the morale department due to the lack of school support. It was discouraging to finish a routine and look up in the stands and see no one from IHS cheering for you, said senior Danny Sapp. Very few students, I felt, even knew there was a gymnastics team this year due to last year's experiences with coaching. We also did not have any meets at Irving because we did not have enough equipment to furnish onef' said Coach Ragar. Despite the lack of experien- ced gymnasts and lack of school support, the team beat both Lakeview, and Richland High Schools during the seasonal gymnastic meets. Tim Sweat also placed sixth in vaulting competition. The 1982 season was not a total loss due to the fact that the gymnastics team was able to accomplish some victories with the small number of opportuni- ties they had and also because they were able to strengthen their foundation for the future. Coach Mark Ragar helps Danny Sapp execute an extremely difficult front hand spring on the vault. The members of the gymnastics team are: ffrontj Tim Sweat, Teresa Brooks, Sharra Martin, Kristy Winter, Danny Sappg fsecondl Lorraine Patterson, Linda McMahan, Coach Mark - Ragar, Tricia Schroeder, Kim Breithaupt, and Kipper Marrs.

This year,s swim team couldn't especiall claim that it overcame its underwater obstacles. Th hopes for 'next year' were still promine By Dana Johnson long with various other IHS sports, the swim team got off to a fresh start for the season. Along with the arrival of new coach Austrums Zidermanis came new ideas and concepts. Coach Zied is more qualified for coaching a high school swim team than any of the coaches weive had in the past. Although the teams did about average this season, there will be a lot of changes in the future, said Wendy Oxford. The team consisted of 11 members: four girls and seven guys. Coach Zidermanis said, The team is basically a freshman and sophomore team which is good because most ofour competition comes from schools with feeder programs. Kids on the feeder program start at an early age learning swimming techniques and then when they enter high school they are distributed evenly among schools in the area. Starting our swimmers out when they are freshmen gives us a better start towards forming a more qualified team. I hope to start some type of program in the future to allow the kids to gain experience early. While the team was small and somewhat unknown among other sports, it showed a lot of hard work and devoted time to the sport. When we are in season, we practice a minimum of two hours a day which adds up to about 8,000 yards, said Joannie Christopher. When we're out of season we usually practicejust to keep in shape. Since we're forced to practice at the Irving YMCA, which only has two lanes, it's sometimes hard to keep our 1 , practicing to its maximum, we get our time in. The City Irving recently passed a open up a new indoor O size poolg hopefully, it will ready to open soon and bill facility problem will be solved, Joannie added. Although the team was small to significantly compete overall, individuals usuall competed. At the regional held at Trinity over i Break, junior Wendy 4 made it to the finals in the 1 yard breaststroke. There was lot of stiff competition this but we were using this year as type of building year. The should be able to compete as whole next year,', Wendy said. As the season ended, the was pleased with its 1 accomplishments but forward to the next season.

By Missy Fazekas ith soccer being a new UIL sport at IHS, the season proved to be more of a building process rather than a successful beginning. The team had to go through certain stages of adjustments and growth, physically and mentally. Physically, the team had to become aware of each individual's abilities and learn to benefit from them. Mentally, the team had to gain school recognition from a student body whose lives revolved around football, basketball, and baseball. We had a smooth transition from club soccer to school, but as far as school support is concerned, our biggest fans were ourselvesf' said junior Kenny King. Tryouts for varsity and junior varsity teams were held in December and a large group participated in the tryouts. We had an excellent turnout, yet we didn't have many experienced players. The boys had good positive attitudes which helped a lot, said Coach Jimmy Morris. I thought we could have had a little better turnout of experienced players. We didn't have the experience of working together and that hurt the team, said Kevin O'Teter. With little experience to work with, the soccer team basically started from the bottom. The season record was not one to be plastered on the chests of boastful varsity and JV team members, yet the record did not reflect the hard work and improvement which took place during the initial start of soccer in UIL. Team members found advantages and disadvantages of UIL soccer. You had the name Irving Tigers behind you and that helped to raise the morale within the team, said Kevin. Coach Morris felt that school soccer was more organized. There were definite guidelines and it covered every aspect of soccer. I never compared club soccer and school soccer, said Coach Morris. Along with the advantages came an equal number of disadvantages with soccer's involvement with UIL. School sponsored soccer was okay, but we needed more money in the program and definitely more school support, said JV player Jae Yu. With soccer operating under UIL rules, we lost many of our experienced players to popular and touring club teams, said Scott Shubin. With soccer held in the winter season, the varsity and JV teams had to contend with the adversity of Texas weather. There were many games which were cancelled due to rain. The bad weather had some effect on the way the team handled the ball. It was hard to play in bad weather, the team field was all uneven and slippery, and we had a hard time controlling the soccer ball when it was wet,', said Alex Matassa. Even though the team had a tough struggle throughout the season, it did end the season in a memorable way. The team had its first banquet at the Quality Inn. There the team chose its most valuable players and also the beaus and Sweethearts of the team. Scott Shubin and Randy Sears were elected as MVPs for the varsity while Brian Davis was chosen for the JV team. The teams chose Desiree Nulty as their sweetheart and as beau for the girls' soccer team, Scott Shubin and Mike Muzyka were chosen. The 1982 soccer season would not be classified as successful, but considering that the team had to go through the difficult task of introducing a new sport, it would not be pegged a losing one. I was proud of my boys this season. I thought they did the most that could have been expected for a first year sport, said Coach Morris.

By Missy Fazekas xperiencing tremendous success for being a new sport involved in compe- tition, the girls' soccer team fielded a victorious team. Girls averaging ten seasons of experience rallied together to put a strong soccer team in existence at IHS. Although it interferred with club soccer, UIL soccer had its advantages in that eventually 'schools will carry more weight and college scholarships will be offered to the girls who excel in the sport, said Coach Cindy Sanders, the team's first year coach. During the district season, the team met its competition and walked away with nine victories. The only teams that the Tigers had trouble with were Mac- Arthur, who it fell to at the first of the season, but who it later tied with to boost its season record, and Duncanville. Although it had two losses and a tie, the team still placed second in the playoffs, defeated Grand Prairie, and suffered a disheartening loss to Duncanville in the district crown match. With this loss, Irving maintained the tradition- al runner-up position in district. HI was disappointed with the outcome, but the Duncanville team was a good one and they deserved first place. I was satisfied because we did the best that we could do, said Desiree Nulty. Our goal this season was to reach the playoffs. It was extremely exciting when we accomplished that goal and went on to compete for the district crown,', said Coach Sanders. Though the majority of the team's support came only from the boys' soccer team members and from parents of the players, the team overcame the lack of recognition through its attitudes toward the sport. - The girls had good, strong attitudesg at times they slacked off, but the more serious they were about a game, the better they played, said Coach Sanders. The girls' soccer team did not expect to gain schoolwide support and recognition for its accomplishments. Team mem- bers realized that it would take a lot of hard work and dedication to make girls, soccer a popular sport. 'KFor a first-year team, a first- year coach, and a first-year sport, we've done real well, said Coach Sanders. The members of the girls' soccer team are: Cfrontj Shelly Williams, Janice Vaughn, Lisa Gresham, Kim Hester, Becky Reynolds, Francine Rodriguez, Dina Caballero, fsecondj Deborah Bajorek, Mardie Berry, Jewell Stroup, Desiree Nulty, Cheryl Rochefort, Donna Derr, Coach Cindy Sandersg lthirdj Valerie Eckles, Rindi Reed, Lisa Shubin, Libby White, Monica DePetris, Stacy Bates, and Edie Hurst.

Former coach Ms. Janet Ward moved to the Carrollton-Farmer's Branch school district and volleyball coach Mr. Aaron Collier replaced her as head coach. The difficulties faced by Coach Collier were many as he tried to manage tennis, volleyball, and three periods of world geography. The dual coaching of tennis and volleyball in the fall did present some problems, he said. Bill Norman Using both hands to return a shot, Donna Mackay, a sopho- more on the varsity tennis team, concentrates on keeping the ball in play. While I was attending volleyball meets, the tennis team was left to the assistant coaches. Also, I had to learn scheduling and management of players, as well as establish an entirely new program. Coaches who have been at this longer than I have know that in a dual meet you have to learn to schedule players according to the other team. You have to keep good records of the other teams and know who their best players are. Morale was low at the beginning of the year with a new coach and all, but later on, they got to know me and I think we really accomplished a lot.

Lynda has been taking essons from a professional ennis instructor at the T Bar M acquet Club for a number of ears and the coach feels she will e a great asset to the team in uture years.

Although Lynda was only a freshman and would be returning to the team, two ofthe team's best would not. Brady Rayburn and Bill Norman will graduate this year and that will leave us with many inexperienced players, said Coach Collier.

With various hindrances surfacing rom one meet to the next, the boys' track team had more urdles to clear than those on the field.

In contrast to recent years, Lhe boys, track team of this 'eason was faced with the llisadvantage of not having a large enough team to compete with the same degree of :ompetiveness in numbers as :ther teams in the Metroplex. Although many factors 'ontributed to a team that had been better, more profitable days, zhe coach, Darrel Aldridge, could only be an asset for the team. We worked hard, but just didn't have very many, he said. 'When there's usually 26-30 on a varsity squad and we only have 3, who mostly are sophomores, e really lacked in comparison to hem, and since we did compete gainst these teams, we were eing compared to them. Despite the team's size, many arsity tracksters placed in the een Eistrict meet.

Specializing in hurdles, senior Dave Portillo pulled his hamstring during warm-ups at district, causing him to be unable to place at the meet. placed first in pole vault, and Tony Gonzalez received first place in the 1600 meter run. While sophomore Tony Munoz placed first in the 200 meter dash, Kevin Yates of the varsity team placed fourth in pole vault. At regionals, Bill came in fifth in the pole vault, and Tony Gonzalez was awarded fifth in the 1600 meter run. Bill agreed with his coach on the affect that size had on the team. L'There simply aren't enough people in track, he said. There are people running- all over the school, but theylre not on track. He continued to say that during his eighth grade year at Crockett, his team placed first in every track meet and every relay. He commented that he and David Klett were the only seniors who were original tracksters on the Crockett eighth grade team. If everyone liked track as much as football, we'd have a really good team, he continued. The workouts must be too hard Rene Landaetta shortens the distance between the finish line and himself. Bill King for them or something. Other members of the varsity team recognized their handicaps, also. Cary Wilkinson, one of the many sophomores on the team, said, No one specialized in any one event except for a few people because there weren't enough people. Everyone had at least three or four events to enter. At district competition, had luck revealed herselfin all of her glory. Coach Aldridge said that a week before district competition, Mike Humelsine of the team broke his foot and, while warming up at the actual meet, senior Dave Portillo pulled his hamstring. You can't really reach into a bag and pull out another person, said Coach Aldridge, although, we wanted to. Both of these who were injured probably would have placed, so we lost points there and ended up coming in about seventh place tin districtlfl Comparing one sport to another grew in intensity throughout the year.

So although football was a sport all its own, when comparisons were made, the name football seemed to be at the edge of the tongue. 4'Football takes a lot of endurance, but so does track, said Cary. He continued to say that football involved more physical pain while track brought a type of mental pain. Sophomore Tony Munoz added, When you find out how much you have to run teach dayj, you want to go home. Track was undoubtedly hard work for any of those who were dedicated. Even tracksters who found success easily still had to adjust to the high levels of concentration necessary for intense control. Coach Aldridge stated that those who excelled were 'fextremely dedicated probably more so than anything elsef' He added, In track you can't goof off. Running is an in-born skill.

The girls track team proved that superstition wrong with their thirteenth consecutive district win for IHS. By Evelyn Boyd he date was March 13, the bus they were on was number 13, they had 13 points, and it was their thirteenth consecutive victory at a district track meet. Coach Anne Uhr, the only coach the girls' track team has ever had, once again managed to lead her team to victory. I am just so proud of the girls. Their win proved that hard work can get you somewhere, said Coach Uhr. The sensational season began in February. Although most of the girls had been working out since the beginning of the fall, several basketball girls joined the track team for the spring season. A lot ofthe girls I had all year long, but quite a few more came right before our first meet. They were already conditioned, but it still made them slower coming around since track is all together a different sport, said Coach Uhr. Both the girls who were there all year and those who were there just in the spring had to work on certain skills to shape themselves up for the tough and grueling meets in which they competed. Well, obviously the special events girls had to work on their own events like triple jump and hurdles, etc., but l had them build up aerobic and anaerobic conditions fconditioning their oxygen intakelf' said Coach Uhr. The psychological attitude of an athlete and competitor has as much to do with competing as does the physical aspect of it. Coach Uhr said, The girls had a good attitude and they were real positive which is a mustg you have to be optimistic about winning. Once again, winning the district meet enabled the Tiger girls' track team to participate in the regional meet in Denton. They attained tenth place at regionals. My goal was to make it to state, but we fell a little short of that. The fact that we were there was a neat experience anyway, said sophomore Risa Ellis. The only wins at regionals were in the special events categories. They came home with third place in the 800 relay, fourth place in discus, and fourth place in the triple jump. Several other high schools proved to be tough competition for the members of the team. Among those schools were Houston Sterling, and South Oak Cliff.

It makes you put out your bestf' said senior Chenida Taylor. The meets that the girls competed in ranged from difficult to easy.

'KWhat was so strange is that they Cteam rnembersj didn't realize they had won, said Coach Uhr.

Practicing together, work out after work out, every day after school, and sometimes even before school seemed to bring the girls close together. There is a closeness between us and we have lasting friendships. Especially for those of us who have been on the team all four years. I really enjoyed track and it taught me a lot about sportsmanship, said senior Joanna Yaeger. At their team banquet, Chenida Taylor received the top trackster award, and Julie Higgins won the Heart and Soul award.

The team did not reach their goal, yet we played extremely hard and we had a run for the district title during both halves of the season.

I thought we were capable of winning more and it did get discouraging when we kept losing games, especially important ones, said Coach Goodwin.

After winning the American Legion League during the summer, the baseball team had high hopes for finishing the following spring season with a successful record. Their hopes were deflated, though, when they began losing. Yet, they were able to regain their winning attitudes before the start of district which was an accomplishment within itself. Although the team did not end the season as district winning champions, it did not walk away as a losing one, either. The team members were able to say that despite all odds against them, they did not stomp on their baseball caps and quit, but continued to fight for victories to the very end.

By Missy Fazekas nconsistency seemed to be the key word in describing the 1982 junior varsity baseball team. The team rallied at the beginning of its games, but fell to their opponents during the last innings in the majority of the season's matches. The team was not consistent. We would be a part of the game totally, but when we come across pressure, we just could not produce a winning effort, said Coach Randy Feemster. The reason for this inconsis- tency was the lack ofexperienced players who were dedicated to the sport of baseball, according to the coach. We had many players coming from different sports who viewed baseball mainly as just a second sport. The players were not experienced for success and that carried on into baseball season leaving them with a lack of enthusiasm, said Coach Feemster. As a whole, the team did not have significant strong points, however, there were individuals who stood out among the rest. Coach Feemster cited Jerry Ehrhardt and Rick Cofer as most valuable in batting, and Paul Coronado on defense. The most improved players, he felt, were Wayne Willis, Gus Ramirez, and Jake Smith.

Although the team and coach were disappointed in their 5-17 season record, they did fell that they accomplished something. On the junior varsity level, the purpose is to groom the players for the varsity level. Winning is important, but we got the experience and hopefully we learned something from our losing season. Overall, it was basically a learning process, said Coach Feemster. The thought of completing a losing season may have hurtjust a little, but the players and coach felt that not all was lost, for they became prepared for a season of baseball on a higher level.

Susan Bollinger organizations By Leslie White 5 ogically, we assumed that out of the seeming infinite number of clubs offered to us at IHS at least a handful of them could be or had the potential to be out of the ordinary---faulty logic. Clubs. They all preferred to have new and original activities frequently throughout the course of the year. But in reality, it seemed as though they always did the same things with the same people---Christmas parties, picnics, and guest speakers were the primary focus of all of the organizational meetings, ususally held twice a month. Instead of electing the usual eight cheerleaders in the spring of the last academic year, we chose 12. The new system of electing 12 girls instead of the smaller number was to help reduce the number of activities the individual cheerleaders had to attend. Normally, the cheerleaders were required to be present at all of the varsity football and basketball games, severely limiting the girls' free time. This new system remedied the situation where the girls cheered twice a week during the heyday of basketball season because only six cheerleaders were needed at the game to support the team. Although many of the organizations in the school gave the appearance of being stationary in movements toward improvements, we could all identiy unique characteristics in all of them.

Bowles By Chris Sekin ach of them came from different backgrounds and although their individuality became apparent over the year, one common goal bonded the groups together. To achieve a better understanding of certain scholastic subjects, school events, and to provide aid to fellow classmates were the incentives behind acceptance in Student Council, Mu Alpha Theta, Whiz Quiz, and National Honor Society. The 88 members of National Honor Society were known to be active in other school activities and had goals for a solid education. Said sponsor Ms. Jill Stevens, The service-oriented members of the club were hard working and outgoing in personality. Among their yearly objectives included a school tutoring service, publication of 'the Scholar's Annual of Arts literary magazine, and activity in student leadership. Only juniors and seniors with a 7.0 grade point average and no record of misconduct were admitted. Any students meeting the requirements of given math skills were eligible to sign up for Mu Alpha Theta. Students qualifying in above-average specifications were invited to join. Members benefited through various activities ranging from guest speakers in the fields of math and science to participation in city-wide competitions. Of the 80 members, all had to maintain an overall BH average and an A average in math classes. Said club sponsor Ms. Stevens, To be a national member of the club, students must have completed two years of college preparatory math. The Whiz Quiz team provided an opportunity of challenge for students wishing to display their true knowledge. Sponsored by the Dallas Baptist College, Whiz Quiz provided games played weekly at the college by those interested in head-on competition. Any person who desired the chance to participate used his wit, knowledge, and instant recall in full force. The brave scholars who wished to stand up for the student body privileges and work for better school surroundings were known as student council representatives. As an educational committee, the organization sponsored such programs as Project Adoption, SMILE Week, and Valentine's Day at area nursing homes. Said junior Brian Bowden, Student council gives the member a sense of responsibility and more respect from student peers and also from teachers. Yearly, elected students made up the organization of about 54 members. SHELLY Preparing for competit- ion, Branch Moody and Shelly Williams achieved recognition through Whiz Quiz.

Joel Ross, also a member of Whiz Quiz said, I feel it is a privilege to be a member of NHS and I hope that future classes will take upon themselves the task of perpetuating NHS' upstanding and truly meaningful service to the student body and the community in general. Lin Ogg also had positive comments about his membership in NHS. It's really meanta lot to me to be in NHS for the past two years. It's really helped me to keep up my studies and do my work to the best of my ability. The NHS sponsored peer tutoring, the Scholar's Annual of Arts, and also Whiz Quiz. Kevin Day helped with peer tutoring, and Traci Hodgkiss was in charge of the SAA, a collection of students' literary and artistic works. One of the more important parts of NHS was the Whiz Quiz team. Whiz Quiz was a college bowl type contest for high school students, competing against various area schools.

Tracy Wells said, Joel CRossl was a valuable asset to the team, because he knew many out-of-the- way things that you don't learn in a classroom. Two weeks before school started practices were held in preparation for the team's first game, held on the second Tuesday after the beginning of school. The four participants for the first game were Shelly Williams, Branch Moody, Joel Ross, and Tammy Martin, assisted by English teacher and NHS sponsor Ms. Gelene Simpson. Considering that we only had two people returning from last year's team, Shelly and me, we really had a good teamf' Tracy said. Team members agreed that Ms. Simpson was completely enthusiastic and supportive of the team. Joel said, Although we had a short career this year, it was a lot of fun, and Mrs. Simpson was just a great sponsor to have. All in all, Tracy said, I think we did very well with the time we had.

Well, what I think is so unique about it is that we learn things in Mu Alpha Theta that we just don't learn in class. We always hear speakers from various universities and we go on occasional field trips. I'll expect to be in it for the remainder of my high school years, said sophomore Donna Costin. Senior Tracy Wells said, It's nice being president, but it's also a job. I put time into it but it is worth it. The meetings- were held monthly with the vice-president presenting the program. The club had interesting speakers like Dr. Arden Zander, a physics professor at East Texas State University, who brought slides that the Voyager took of Saturn. I enjoy the meetings.

The Mu Alpha Theta math team competed in various math competitions. In February Diane Martichuski, Will Alford, Tracy Wells, and Richard Harris competed in Austin. Among the tournaments held, the math team attended ones in Sherman, Richardson, and South Garland and placed second overall at the ,South Garland High tourna- ment. The math tournament in Austin consisted of a number sense test and a quick mental problem test known as the calculator test. These competitions are, usually held on a Saturday and last from 9 in the morning to about 3 in the afternoon, Tracy said. . These were also the types of tests which were given at the UIL literary contest held in the spring. .

Presiding over a student council meeting, president Diann Smith briefs the members on the procedures to follow in getting the children to IHS for Project Adoption. Th Achievers Lead, follow, or get out of the way By Theresa Kinser f all the organizations at IHS, one stood out as one of the hardest to become a part of, and the toughest to keep up with. This club was called student council. It was a smooth, well-run, top- notch organization. The student council stayed active all year and never stopped doing its best for the school and its students. In fact, almost any activity held at IHS could somehow be connected to the student council. This school year, the student council sponsored Howdy Week, homecoming, Project Adoption, Irving goes basketball crazy week, and the blood drive. Other familiar projects were food baskets for the custodians, and a Valentine's project for the nursing homes. The student council was constantly on the move. Senior Diann Smith, president said, 'AI enjoy it so much. It seems like we were always working on something. We're just always trying to get involvement. To prepare for all of their activities and to learn the tricks of the trade, the members attended a summer workshop, and later the officers attended a convention in Tuscon, Arizona. The major purpose of all of the workshops was to exchange ideas with peers and learn new ideas from the other sponsors and members. Probably, the most amusing workshop for the members was the summer over night workshop at Plymouth Park Methodist Church. 'The students were supplied with hot dogs, chili, and Cokes to keep them awake so they could make plans for the upcoming school year. The group had a lot of fun and came to many decisions as to the activities planned for the year. Last year a tradition was started that continued during this year. It was a banquet called the Thanks a Million Banquet. It's not real fancy, Diann said, 'tIt's just to tell everyone how much we appreciate their work. Awards were also given at the banquet, such as one from the council to the best member and best chairperson of a committee. 4 Brian Bowden At a student council m treasurer junior Brian B listensattentivelytothes The organization held me approximately every two to keep up with pl activities.

All the members' meetings were held at Ms. Kathy Wuistinger's home since she temporarily stopped teaching this year. gg-pw---Q By Evelyn Boyd lthough the Youth Advi- sory Council was a young organization, its goals and chievements reflected those of n older, more established club. he members and sponsor of the ACS gave students a better erspective and understanding f the importance of good utrition. An important factor in considering the school-wide 'nvolvement of this yearis club, as that tworyear sponsor Ms. Kathy Wuistinger, took a emporary leave of absence, but ontinued to supervise the group of young members. I thought that it would be very interesting to be involved in YACs. I didn't know much about it at first. The kids are doing a great job especially when considering I am not always at school,'l Ms. Wuistinger said. The elected chairman of the club was junior Shawnna Roberts, who had been with the YACs since her seventh grade year. I like YACs. It's nice to be devoted to something. It is good to have responsibility like that, said Shawnna. A To the participants, being a part of the organization was rewarding due to the fact that they taught others as they learned themselves. I have a better understanding of how important it is to promote good nutrition, said junior Frances Santoscoy. Being involved in the Youth Advisory Council included .

Shawnna, also the southwest region president of YACS said, Our purpose is to reflect a good example for younger children and even inform high school students to learn and live with good nutrition. I really enjoy being a part of it and I like working knowing that it will do a lot of good and make people understand more. For some of the members, learning about nutrition was new. Several speakers and nutritionists worked with the members to explain about nutrition. 'I seemed to learn much more after the speakers lectured to us. It was a real asset, said junior Paul Gray. The YACs also had fund raising activities to raise money for conventions and rallies, so that members could attend without having to worry about the exorbitant price of traveling. During the spring Shawnna attended a convention in San Antonio, Ms. Wuistinger said. , A student's desire to be a part of the Youth Advisory Council required him to fill out an application on which he also listed his grade point average and after all the applications were read, the old members then voted on those who they thought would be suited for the Concerning their choices for additions to the lunch menus, Julie Higgins and Shawnna Roberts consult Ms. Jean Longhofer, food supervisor for the elementary schools.

Running for office began with the nomination of a student with the desire or knowhow, to be either chairman, co-chairman, or secretary- treasurer and on a certain date the candidates would then be' elected by secret ballot by the members. The YAC organization sponsored activities for which they were well-noted. At the beginning of the year they held a car wash on a Saturday, and achieved success at their annual chili supper. I think that having the chili supper was a good idea because it introduced the YAC organization to a lot of people who really didn't realize what we were all about, said senior Julie Hart. The president of the Youth Advisory Council, junior Shawnna Roberts, explains the purpose to Lynn Harrington, a new member, during an activity period at the beginning of school. The youths of today are the leaders of tomorrow.

Senior Julia Berry stands in position waiting for the band to begin playing. 154 The Performers By Evelyn Boyd and Leslie White here was a reason behind everything a person did. An athlete played for the competition, excitement, and exerciseg readers .read to learn new things and for entertainment, and performers performed for the competition, excitement, exercise, education, and entertainment. A performer was a combination of many different people and many different things. Members of the bands, choirs, Toy Tigers, ROTC, and cheerleading squads knew the exhilaration of performing, if all for different reasons and purposes. Each of the groups performed usually in different places at different times, but saw in each other the value of being able to entertain others and appreciated its fmportance. At school promptly at 7:30 each morning, the members of the gold, concert, and symphonic bands practiced to perfect the performances they presented at football games, pep rallies, as well as for the large number of contests and competitions they traditionally took part in throughout the course of the school year. 'Practice makes perfect' lingered in the minds of all performers. The long-winded singers of the school were well-aware of this saying. Each period they attended began with warm-ups, sometimes sight- reading from their books, and then singing the lyrics from memory. Striving for perfection for each and every note over and over again for what seemed like hours, the choir had in mind the feeling they would attain when the director finally said, That's great, itis perfect, with an enormous smile on his face. Students ' were usually under a constant strain ofpressure. With performers in competition with other performers, it could be like a duel 'til the end. The choir went to competitions like UIL in March and other contests. Unlike choir, the Toy Tigers only performed during football season, except for the Swingers, a division of the Toy Tigers, who performed during basketball season. They began training for perfection during the summer and every weekday at sixth period and after school for several hours. Blood, sweat, and tears was involved with getting every step and every movement right. They added glamour and sophistication to the grueling football games and were a refreshing energetic diversion to disappointed football fans. There was a physical and mental competition against the rival drill team, forcing the corps to execute its flawless performance. The Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, otherwise known as JROTC, was probably the most different type of performer and achiever. Its goal was really connected with what school was all about, with knowledge, and with experience for a desired future profession. The competing side of ROTC was the Silver Wings Drill Team, which competed in marching routines and rifle maneuvers. Competition included several contests in different parts ofTexas. The Silver Wings also presented arms during the annual halftime of the homecoming game. Finally, what would the Tigers have been without a cheerleading squad? The 20 varsity and JV cheerleaders performed at sporting events, adding color and enjoyment to the sideline scene. They exemplified spirit and pride as they performed their numerous cheers to catch the eyes of everyone in the stands. It took hours of practicing and more practicing to go over each step in unity. Their performances cheered up and motivated the morale of the fans and players. In a straight line, John Schilling and the brass section of the marching band perform their rendition of Strike Up the Band.

The band participated in various contests such as UIL and the HEB fHurst-Euless-Bedfordj festival where they received first division ratings. These contests were in addition to the bandis main function, which was marching. As the football season ended, the band divided into four groups: Symphonic, Concert, Gold, and a Jazz band for those who were interested. During the concert season, the band hosted various performances. Among these were a mid-winter concert where professional drummer Louie Bellson appeared with the Jazz Band, and the annual senior concert held during the spring. Above all, the mid-winter concert proved to be popular among the year's activities for band members, as well as spectators. Senior drummer Mike Grabeel, who soloed with Mr. Bellson, commented, It was a real privilege and honor to play with someone like Mr. Bellson. I learned so much from him that will be helpful since my career plans revolve around drum- ming. Other important events included UIL solo and ensemble contest held in February, and all- region, area, and state band tryouts. Students were encouraf ged to participate in a solo and an ensemble, as well as to audition for one of the honor bands. The results of the tryouts were: 20 students placed in all-region, four students placed in all-area bandg and one student, Rusty Ilgenfritz, placed fourth alto sax in all-state tCon't. on page 1581 Mike McLean Mike McLean The members of the four bands march- ed to the tunes of ma- ny different drummers in practices, pe- rformances, and in com- petitions to project their own special style.

Aside from the long and grueling rehearsals and performances, the band participated in various group activities. During the marching season, a party was held after each game at a member's house. Sophomore Becky Neff commen- ted, The parties are a lot of fun. Most people just hang around and talk or listen to records. Each person was required to bring a food or drink to defray the costs for the host or hostess. Dates were also allowed at most of the parties. When the marching season ended, the hard work remained but the number of parties decreased. Band social chairman Aliscia Adams said, It's hard to plan parties when all the bands are split for concert season, but we did have the annual Christmas party and an ice skating party at Prestonwood Mall for all the bands to attend. Besides the various activities and parties, the bands also worked to raise money for special events. Assistant director Will James said, This year is a trip year so we needed to raise our quota in order to take the trip. Fund-raising is an important part of the program since it pays for most of our entry fees and registrations for contestsf' The money from the fund- raising was used to pay for the Symphonic spring trip, the Concert Band's trip to Six Flags contest, and individual banquets for each of the bands which were held at the end of the year. Director Glen Oliver said, We take a trip every other year. The kids earn their right to go on the trip by being in the Symphonic Band and by the fund-raising projects. It would be nice if we could take both the Symphonic and the Concert bands, but there's just not enough money. This year we wentto Galveston to participate in the Southwest Texas Band Festival. The contest is a good experience for the band to participate in since there is a lot of good competition to see. It's also a sort of rewarded vacation. They deserve it, there's a lot of hard work involved to be a part of the band program. While being a part of the band was a lot of hard work, everyone seemed to agree that it was an experience they would learn from and remember forever.

By Phil Freeman ometimes their palms were damp with sweat and then again, sometimes they were calm, cool, and collected before their choir concerts. With the amount of work necessary for even a decent performance, sensations of accomplishment were inevitable when each concert ended. Being one of the organiza- tions in the school that was not actually a club in the full sense of the word, students enrolled in choir felt as at ease as they did in other classes they enjoyed. Only the A Cappella Choir members held parties---after each concert--- but Girls' Choir and Concert Choir members felt they belonged although not to the same degree.

These were the three divisions of the school's choral depart- ment, with the Singer Company as an extra unit with member- ship based on auditions held by Mr. Tom Jennings, the school's choir director. We work hard for a good performance, said senior Kirk Ellis, a member of both A Cappella and Singer Company. During contest season around February, practice is stricter and harder. After UIL, everyone feels relieved that they don't have to go through as strict practices anymore. Kirk thought the reason for not having a strongly-based club was in the amount of devotion. He said, We could be much stronger if there was more enthusiasm, A lot of the choir members aren't very committed for example, as far as entries in the UIL Solo and Ensemble. Some students who several years of choir their abilities into college, not always with choral studies their major.

L She continued, The music is harder than in junior high and more is expected out of you. But it's easier because of past experience. Choir is a lot of fun. Everyone needs something like choir during high school--- something to belong to. Consensus of the choir members showed that the performances were up as always as far as they were concerned. The ones who accurately accepted the challenge took it to the extreme of personal devotion. You have to have a lot ofself- discipline and that,s one thing you learn in choir, said junior Laura Bearrie. It's not performing on an individual basis.

Thinking that choir was not an academic course, Mr. Jennings had definite feelings concerning the director's responsibility of leading the choir members. I see choir as being...able to perform correctly the style of the piece and make it an enjoyable experience, rather than simply singing notes and words, he said. Any choir has more bad rehearsals than good ones. In every rehearsal something usually goes right like pulling a phrase or learning the right notes, he added. The attitude that the average student had about the average choir student was still prominent. Junior Jeff Berube said, Most people think of choir real negatively. It will probably always be that way. They think it's silly, but it's exciting to sing in front of all of the people in different parts. It's exciting. Whether the singing mus- ician's emotions were nervous or pacified, he felt that all of his work was worthwhile and he could relax when the curtain closed.

But there was much more to the drill team than short skirts, high kicks, and jazz leaps. They were the tinsel-type performers. The Toy Tigers performed at the seasonal football games and at the Black and Gold game at the end of the year. The year's annual auditions and workouts shined little difference from past years. The Toy Tigers flaunted more glitter than usual which seemed to make a pleasant season out of a losing ordeal. You get out there and you're nervous, but you know you can do itf' said junior member Laura Slade. You feel good about yourself while you're out there on that field, and thatys really important to project. Not everybody can get out there and do that. Some of the Toy Tigers' performers were used to performing in ways other than through drill team. Senior member and president Julie Hart was also in A Cappella Choir. She said, Of course the drill team is a lot harder physically, and a lot more time is put intoitf, The members practiced during the summer and sixth period and after school once school began. In choir, you're really competing with anyone except at contest, Julie continued. At a football game, there's the other school's drill Avin Black, Joann Blount, and Julie Hart knew that their performance would be well- accepted by the students. team in the race and naturally we try to look better than they do. Thinking that being a new sponsor made the year more difficult, Ms. Carole Wilkinson said, I hope they enjoy it as much as I enjoy being with them. It's a new experience for me because it's my first year. The girls lin Toy Tigersl had to be really open-minded to make room to add some new things. I try to teach them to look at performing in a positive way and to enjoy it. Just as I-Teens and Theta Omega Phi had their versions of initiation, so did the Toy Tigers. The drill team's initiation didn't change, but the attitudes toward it did. As far as I'm concerned, it iToy Tiger initiationj was all done in fun. We didn't discriminate like the other organizations twho initiatedbf' said Julie Hart. The difference between ours and theirs is that ours is done after you're already in. It's not that big of a deal so you might as well have fun. I don't think---as far as we're concerned---that what we were doing was humiliating. I wouldn't have gone through it myself when I made the team ifI thought it was. It's really sort of fun because you don't have to put on make-up in the morning and you can sleep late and not feel conscious about how you look. But they were aware of their appearance on the field. That's what mattered to them, primarily. That's what mattered to the rest of the school, too.

Th Performe Cbeering for the fun of I By Missy Fazekas ccording to Websters, a cheerleader was defined as one who promotes spirit and good cheer. He was correct to a certain extent. The cheerlead- ers did a lot more than yell chants, do gymnastic stunts, and attempt toe touches. It took much dedication, time, and on many occasions, money to be an IHS cheerleader. Being a cheerleader took up a lot of time and that hurt at times because it meant staying up more hours doing school work when I could have at least been sleeping, said varsity cheer- leader Julie Higgins. - One began to wonder if being a cheerleader was worth all the time and money which it burned up faster than gas in a 1969 Chevy station wagon. It was worth it because I got to be involved and I met a lot of people. I wasnit just a mere bystanderg I got to take partf' said junior Connie Free. The cheerleaders, which consisted of 12 varsity, eight junior varsity, and three Big Irvi Keepers, did plenty to show the teams their support and dedication. During football season there were weekly pep rallies in which the girls performed skits, plastered posters on the gym walls, and did cheers and chants throughout a 20 minute time span to help boost both the fans' and players' spirits. For homecoming, the varsity cheerleaders and the Big Irvi Keepers gave the team a Halloween breakfast that the girls cooked themselves with the help of Principal Curtis Hines and Vice-principal Daisy Yarborough. Throughout the football, 'ir . basketball, and baseball si the team members rn parties, enough food to Washington's troops after crossing of the Delaware, other constant reminders the teams had strong supg HI felt like I had leadership because I was involved in school.

During the first part of the ear, the club prepared for the est of the year by preparing uets, and individual dramatic alents to present at speech ournaments held in the area. A member of tournament rama must attend at least two ourneys, said Jana. fNot all embers of the club were in this evel of Theater Artsj. There are hree areas which a drama student may choose from: dramatic interpretation, humorous interpretation, or duet. Dramatic and humorous interpretation required the performer to select a scene from either a serious or humorous play, memorize it, and perform it without props or costumes, for a judge. Duet acting had a similar set of rules, except it was performed with two actors. This year, senior Delite Debolt and junior John Dempsey qualified for the state speech competition with their duet, John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. In a round of dramatic, humorous, or duet, the performer had to go through one or two sets of prelims, and if he was successful, he advanced into the semi-finals, and then to the finals. In a state qualifying tourney, a performer who placed below third in finals, still had a chance to go to state if someone who placed before him had previously qualified. In March, the Drama Club began production of its one-act play for UIL spring competition. This year the club members did Antigone. The production was allowed only limited props and set by UIL standards and depended primarily on charac- terizations and acting ability to present interpretation. Another contest that the Drama Club members attended was UIL literary competition. This is very much like a tournament,-U said Jana. t'There are two categories: prose and poetry. You draw a number and then you read the selection under that number. You have three selections to read and a time limit in which to do it in. Drama wasnit only acting, though. We learn to build sets, to direct, and to put an entire show together. It's hard work! Jana emphasized. People think that drama is such an easy class. They'd be surprised. Drama isn't so easy. But she added, It's all worth it. We're all like one big, happy family. Lights...cam- era...action! The Drama Club's main purpose was to delve into and learn to survive in a quickly changing entertain- ment world.

But simply appearing for class proved to be an ineffective method of making it in journalism. On the contrary, all staff members learned a new word. Dedication. Brainstorming. For Tiger Rag the word stood for a time when page editors flocked together to decide which story ideas were worthy of printing. Lair, on the other hand, consisted of regular argument sessions when the editor nslightlyi' disagreed with staff members on who would be in charge of what pages and what the theme would be. But surprisingly, all arguments ended in peaceg well, almost all. Austin became a famous place for Tiger Rag and Lair students due to the annual Interscholastic League Press Conference convention. Proudly, the Tiger Rag placed tops in its division. The Lair received an award of distinguished merit. Individual winners included Laura Bearrie, who won third in news and first in photo story. Phil Freeman won first in yearbook academic 176 Journalism Susan Bollinger spread, second in sports writing, and second place in photo story. Sports was the winner for John Fielder who won second place in sports writing. A three-way tie came for Anna Harris, Donna Costin, and Allison Stratton, who won second place in photo story. Separately, Anna received third place in front page layout. On the photo side, senior Mike McLean developed into one ofthe most recognized photographers in high school across the state. His most prized possession was the winning ofa trophy from the Texas Association of Journalism Directors for first place in its photo contest. Other awards for Mike included first place in photo story, second in feature photo, and third in spot news photo. ln addition, he received a 3520 honor award from the KodakfSc'holas- tic Photography national photography contest.

With a turnout of almost 20 members, the Latin Club breakfast at Denny's proved a success with president Roy McClurg and Kenny King. Ready to leave for Novemberfest, German Club members expect the unexpected at the annual event. The Scholars Long road to success surpasses short ends 178 The Scholars By Phil Freeman omorrow's future: today's teenagers. The referral to present-day youth by today's successful adults as the controllers of Americals destinies continued every year attracting a type of timeless quality. However, the fact that these wisdom-spreading speakers made assumptions concerning the abilities of adolescents had little or no bearing on today's student, for tomorrowls success depended solely on current day scholars. Learning opportunities in high school included not only being prepared and nurtured for becoming scholars, but providing recreation for these students through school-sponsored clubs, as well. These organizations included the Physics, Latin, German, French, and Spanish clubs. Certainly, there were other academically-oriented clubs, but none with instructing through activities as its main objective. While the intention of the Physics Club was obviously learning the newest discoveries in the science world through listening to speakers and conducting experiments, the spectrum of the foreign language department offered more variation for the average student. The members of the German, French, or Spanish clubs studied the languages and cultures of the subjects, but also in ways that related to English. Since Latin was a Hdead languagef' the club members chose to represent themselves through wearing togas in the homecoming parade and by hosting an all-school backgammon tournament. At all foreign language club parties the students ate foods representing their studied countries, had guest speakers, and occasionally made projects for their classes to stimulate club interest. While many school organizations chose to further their interests through club achievement or in other manners, members of the clubs on the following pages attempted to become Emerson's idea of the American scholar. ,W wwf S , 4 ,W- Theresa Kinser .av qi: f 4' , y 6 f 4' ' JM ,, ..9J if xp 1, f- it ,gf f 1?

The thing that the Physics Club take seriously, however, was plans of purchasing an Apple With the help of past Clubs, this year's club earned enough money to ase the 32,000 computer. Y i During the year, the Physics sponsored events to help it money. Members sponsored The Scholars topping calculations enough ing and rc-cha rging a car wash at the beginning ofthe year, and then sold candy during the middle part of the year. They raised just enough money to make them eligible to buy the expensive computer, plus the extra programmers to go along with the ccgnputer itself. Treasurer Tracy Wells said, I am very happy that we have all worked together on getting enough money to buy the Apple computer. It will be very helpful to Physics students and really fun to work with. Hopefully, though, we will buy it before the end of school so that this year's seniors will be able to work with it some. Physics Club sponsor Mrs. Cindy Sanders helped these students raise the money needed to buy the computer. I'm very proud of the students for showing me that they really wanted this computer, and they proved it by earning the rest of the money needed to purchase it, said Mrs. Sanders. In the spring, the Science Department got together and 'formed softball teams and soccer teams for intramural competit- ions. It's going to be fun and really challenging. Mrs. Sanders will really help us develop a good team,', said senior Branch Moody.

Physics 181 The Scholars Whether together in body or spi ri . they make all the work worthwhil Once suffer- ing extinc- tion, both the German and French clubs were resurr- ected. Ger- man's heyday arrived with a new, eager teacher and French came back with new perspec- tives. By Phil Freeman he countries of Germany and France are close regionally, although their closeness did not hold true in their popularity. The unusual aspect that the popularity, or unpopularity as the case may have been, of these clubs did not reflect on the quality offered from each foreign language area. Both the German Club and the French Club had members who chose to participate in the clubs as if they were their niches in the school. The contrast of the two clubs was obvious in the fact that there were more students enrolled in German Club to consider it as enjoyable or not. French I and the German Club served the school in a new manner for the second year in a row. French sponsor Mrs. Frances McDonald said, L'They cancelled French I two years ago, and it was a mistake. Just now are we recovering from its effects. With approximately 30 members, French the course, had an enrollment of just under 40 students. While the number to work with was lower than that of German's, the club's membership Ill Kevin Kopf The members of the French Club are: ffrontj Tammy Martin, Cindy Coston, Patty Squire, Cheryl Schutt, tsecondj Gretchen Ludwig, Michelle Forbes, Deborah Bajorek, sponsor Ms. Frances McDonald, fthirdj Ann O'Brien, Isabelle Connor, Arij Damreh, Jeanette Boileau, Jackie Geerg tfourthl Valerie Conner, Joellen Mitchell, Price Johnson, and Matthew Sears. 182 French! German in proportion to enrolled students was fairly equal. The French Club held many activities although most students in the school never heard ot its activities. Members often went to French plays, attended parties, and ate at French restaurants. The prices of the restaurants were phenomenal, so the turnout of students really raised some eyebrows. To help pay for some of their activities, club members sold candy, fuzzies, note pads, and porcelain figures. One of the biggest parties of the year was held in coordination with . the other IISD French clubs. In February, the three clubs met to celebrate Mardi Gras in total style. Costumes were an essential. The newest foreign language club on the scene was German. Ms. Cyndi Smith served for the second year as German sponsor, and she was a major force behind starting the German Club again. Like French Club, almost all of the students in German were club members. To celebrate German holidays and festivals and to learn more oftheir culture, they had two speakers from Belgium speak to them on I economy in Europe. Most of the students German were in level I, wh meant a bright future for club. Most are involved in ot clubs, too, and that's why don't get together more ofte said Ms. Smith. ' Like always, the club gave members the chance to use w they learned in the classroom festivals or restaurants, Th also frequented ice skating rin usual club parties, and planne fascinating party--much 1' Mardi Gras--and of cour- participated in Novemberfe Both of these clubs' sponso expected a boost in fut enrollment due to the instilling foreign language classes honors credits.

While their yearly output as clubs gen- erally re- mained the same, the results came out different- ly, with a strange, new twist and unexpected results. By Phil Freeman lub officers could only ,work with what they were given. Both tried to gain more student interest although members often had other ideas. While both of the foreign language clubs' memberships increased, their number of activities increased, as well. Just as in any year, the members enjoyed being in the Latin Club, but many, neverthe- less, felt dissatisfied after they joined. They longed for more to happen in the club that represented the language they took interest in, Latin. The Latin Club sponsored many activities throughout the year. Announcements were written advertising a back- gammon tournament. The number of applicants was small, but it was designed to gain more interest in backgammon, not necessarily in Latin. Some members of the club had their own attitudes of how the club should be led. A club doesn't organize just to be 'a club,' said junior Laura The members of the Latin Club are: lfrontl Lisa Gresham, Dana Tucker, Tricia Marris, Sharon Rose, Laurie Myrick, sponsor Mr. David Shultz, fsecondi Kim Breithaupt, Chenida Taylor, Dana Russell, Paris Price, Linda McMahan, Tammy Barrier, Laura Cumpton, Chris Brooksg lthirdl Keeley Townsend, Terri Setser, Claire Cardwell, Mary Beth Beach, Mauri Meador, Georgia Rudd, Jane Smitha, Patricia Owens, ffourthb Tad Deupree, Jami Hubbard, Julie Higgins, Roy McClurg, Kenny King, Gary McRae, Chuck Arisg lfifthj Kenny Weimer, Cindy Wilson, Erin Mewhirter, Patricia West, Hal Deatherage, Chad Lowry, Kevin Womble, Carol Lawsong Csixthj Mike Easley, Kim Jarrard, Eric Schmitz, Mark McKnight, Chris Callan, Marc Schmitz, Mike Mitchell, Cliff McElroyg fseventhy Tony Sampson, Steve Page, Tom Manskey, Geoff Carter, John Cochran, Ronald Bajorek, Tony Laffing feighthl Rusty Norman, Kevin Arrington, Scott Fowler, Mike Pagel, Paul Leamon, Kenny McClurg5 Kninthj Ricky Brown, Brian Alford, Pat Collini, and Andrew Jewell. 184 Latin fSpanish Cumpton.

It's not actually the club that's so popular, but the course. lt's popular because even though it's a dead language, it helps in professions that have terms that have Latin words in their roots. Most of the students are considered club membersfv' Realistically speaking, president Roy McClurg said, There's not much we can do. We don't have that much opportun- ity to do anything. Latin Club's activities were limited but Roy hoped that everybody has gotten to be friends. Vice-president Cliff McElroy thought of beginning softball teams within the foreign language department, just as ,the science department had done in the past. i As it maintained its popularity, the Spanish Club searched for activities out of the ordinary, like the Latin Clubg however, the Spanish officers and members selected activities that any of the other foreign language clubs in the school had trouble doubling as far as originality was concerned. Although Spanish members traveled to SMU every year to see the Spanish art exhibit in the Meadows Art Museum, sponsor Mrs. Connie Elmore felt that from year-to-year the members seemed to equally enjoy the Hispanic culture as displayed in the paintings. The art displayed annually at SMU is one of the largest collections of Spanish art, said Mrs. Elmore. Every year, kids seem to like it---you wouldn't think so, but they do. She1 the activities as a combinati social enrichment with purpose to enjoy ourselves.

Christian clubs such as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes helped stimulate an interestin sports and other activities without the pressures of religion while the Sonshine Club tried to bring other Christians closer to God through showing Christ's love to other students. Youth Against Dystrophy was an organization which raised proceeds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association through activities such as the Superdance in order to help people who were crippled with this virtually incurable disease. A fairly new club designed to help junior high students who appeared to be headed for trouble was the Key Link organization, The club's activities were sponsored through the Irving Police Department, school counselors, and senior high school students. The people in the Sonshine Club, YAD, Key Link, and FCA put their full energies into these activities and causes. Through their hard and devoted work they earned the title of crusaders.

The Fellowship of Christian thletes was just what the name 'aid. It was a fellowship between he Christian athletes in the school, but there were no ressures of religion. They got ogether and shared views on the mportance of FCA in sports ctivities and future goals. We have meetings once every wo weeks during activity period n the snack bar. We sometimes ave guest speakers like Mickey lam who was a quarterback for Irving and Baylor, said senior teve Page. U , The club talked about iscipline, not only physical, but ental, as well. They also iscussed different futures in thletics. Not everyone is going o be a professional football or basketball player, but many are thinking about coaching and things like that, said Brian Alford. Holding meetings three times a week, the Sonshine Club met on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays before school. L'We also get together about once a month and go skating or something like that, said Robby Lynch. The members of the Sonshine Club Listening to a speaker from the Muscular Dystrophy Associa- tion, YAD members Pam Harner, Renee Makowski, and Dana Johnson learn what the YAD organization is all about. , Susan Bollinger feel that this is a good way to meet and get to know other Christians in the school. The meetings are very inspirational, Robby added. The Sonshine Club is trying to bring other Christians closer to God and is trying to show Christ's love to other students while teaching how to cope with daily school life in a secular world. They are also learning how to develop their Christian mental attitudes, Robby said. Working hand in hand with the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the members of Youth Against Dystrophy were involved with young and old people crippled with Muscular Dystrophy. The club members held fund ,raising activities to help supplement funds for these people. We have had a bake sale and held the dance marathon. We also have meetings every other Wednesday except when we are working on a project like the Superdance, then we have them every week, said Teresa Knight, president of the club. Sometimes we met at peoples' houses and worked on weekends. All of our proceeds went to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Teresa added. Key Link was an organization sponsored through the juvenile department of the Irving Police. They recruit through the counselors, senior high students who will function as older friends for junior high students who appeared to be headed for trouble. The senior high student had to contact their match at least once a week, said Ms, Anna Beth Heffernan, sponsor. Christy Thompson Attentively, junior high members of Key Link listen to their sponsor describe in detail the intention and purpose of the organization at the first meeting of the year. Once a month we get together as a group and do something. We have gone to a Maverick game, picnicking, and skating. This organization is to show these kids they can have fun without going out and getting drunk or smoking pot. It makes them feel that someone cares, said MS. Heffernan.

M-as Th Workers It's dirty work By Christy Thompson ocational students often had identity problems. While many of them attended Nimitz and MacArthur, only coming to IHS for their vocational courses, they often had a hard time identifying with the schools they attended. It was also difficult because they were often in vocational classes three class periods a day which also prevented them from feeling a real part of the school. But vocational classes tried to bridge the gaps for them by providing club activities appealing to their common vocational interest, as well as social activities to give them a feeling of friendship with others involved in vocational depart- ments. One obvious way they had to become involved was through the VICA CVocational Industrial Clubs of Americaj speeds skills contests held in the spring. Club members were able to use the skills they attained in class in competition with other students from their district. We got to meet other people when we went to contest, said Troy Kelley, auto mechanics student. It was fun going to Waco and San Antonio. HI enjoy getting together with other clubs at contest, said Tom Bass, also an auto mechanics student. While most clubs met at various times throughout the year, VICAs had an easier time meeting since they were in their classes three periods a day. Members sometimes held breakfast club meetings before school. We usually have our club meetings before school at Denney's. We discuss shop problems and how various funds will be spent, said Tom. It wasn't always serious thoughts that occupied the minds of these career-oriented students. Saturday morning football competitions between Auto Paint and Body members and Auto Mechanics members provided friendly competition, as well as fostering friendships. Metal Trades VICA members aided the school by making the lock boxes for the new IHS flag poles added this year to the front of the school. We made the lock boxes for the flag poles and the I- frarne for the bonfire,', said Mike Drury. We try to get together at least once a six weeks and go out to eat. We usually get pizza or something like that, said Al Piano. There was a skills contest that we attended in Waco. This provided the students a way to prove themselves up against other students in the district, said Mr. Ken Ferguson, instructor of Air Conditioning and Refrigeration. Many of these clubs held year- end banquets at various restaurants, as traditions. Some were for just getting together for a last club get-together, while other banquets were for honoring employers.

So, even though they often weren't really IHS students and despite the fact that they usually spent half their school day in one class, VICA members of the clubs found ways to be involved and active, while reinforcing their knowledge about their individual career choices.

Among these were such 'lasses as Building Trades, Plumbing, and Radio and elevision Repair, all of which Jffered club activities through Vocational Clubs of America VICAD chapters. Another program---new to the district through employed by the state for seven years---was added for the benefit of handicapped students. The program, VEH tVoca- tional Education for the Handicappedl, was designed to five students an opportunity to learn the skills needed for ajob in a restaurant, laundry service, or housekeeping service. As a club, FHA-HERO .students were involved in a number of projects ranging from serving a Mexican dinner to the faculty to selling cookies and doughnuts in the DECA school store. We work with an advisory committee from the Highland Park Cafeteria, Holiday Inn, and the IISD Food Services Department to teach the students proper service in a restaurant, said Ms. Margie Horn, VEH sponsor. Partlof the work for the VEH was done by the students of another busy organization, Building Trades. After having sold the house built by the '80-'81 VICA clubs for tl460,500., Building Trades students started all over again on the lot next door. For the next six years, the houses builtby the club will be located on the same block, Ricker Court, so named for the original Building Trades instructor, Mr. Roy Ricker. L'This year's house is the biggest one we've ever built, said current sponsor Mr. David York. The students enjoyed the project, as well as the club. If you're interested in the field, it's a good course. It really teaches you a lot, said senior Buddy McConnell. Buddy, along with two fellow club members, competed with about 60 other VICA participants in the district level Speed Skills competition in Waco. He placed seventhg seniors Ricky Humel- sine and Joe Scott placed fifth and sixth, respectively. The true advantage of vocational programs was quite evident in another VICA club, Plumbing. Time spent in the class contributed to the 6,000 hours of experience needed to get a plumbing license. Sponsor Mr. John Rose was proud of his students' achieve- ments in competition---especially those of a girl from MacArthur who placed second in district and went on to state. As far as I know, Christie tI.ane5 is the first girl who has ever competed in state,', he said.

No matter at what club level they participated in, VICA members were unitied by the desire to excel and to prepare themselves for future success. Learning to work toget- her, as well as learning a skill, was what vocat- ional clubs were all a- bout. 1 .. ' .....-..-.C .,..,.i .,..........,.. ....... i . 'V il Ins.

Among these were VOE QVocational Office Educationb and MDE fMarketing and Distributive Educationl. The classes formed into district clubs known as OEA for VOE and DECA for MDE. OEA was divided into two parts: pre-employment lab and co-op. The Lab students had VOE two classes a day and performed various duties around the school, such as substituting for the secretaries. The Co-op students were required one period of VOE cla-ss and then went to work for the day. Both OEA divisions were involved with typing the student directory, the Scholafs Annual of Arts, and working on the Irving city census. OEA sponsor Ms. Mary Pittman said, 'The girls get a good background to office work, and itis also Receiving final instructions for carnation delivery, senior FHA member Art McCarty gets his delivery in order. FHA members sold carnations for Sl. during homecoming week. beneficial for them to contribute to the school. Aside from just working, OEA members also held activities and fund-raisers. The clubs sold candy and carnations along with PELE to help pay for their end-of- the-year banquet and a trip to Six Flags. A candle ceremony was also held for the annual officer induction. Aside from their daily duties and activities, the VOE groups also participated in competition. Two juniors from the Lab class participated. Kim Langton competed in typing, and Karla Griffin competed in filing. Co-op member Michelle Scott partici- pated in second course accounting and qualified for state competition, which was held during Spring Break in Dallas. Marketing and Distributive Education was very similar to VOE. MDE students were required one period of class and were allowed to go to work the rest of the day at jobs relating to selling, servicing, and marke- ting.

By Christy Thompson ocational clubs provided a time for class members to get together in a relaxed atmosphere and discuss jobs, contests, and banquets. Many of the students of these classes only came to school for three class hours a day and then left to go to work for the remainder of the day. This didn't allow much time to develop friendships at school Thus, the clubs were formed, not only to discussjobs and work, but also to discuss entertaining subjects, as well. We get together with each other in order to discuss job problems and any differences we might have' with our bosses and other employees.

The vocational clubs were made up of the vocational classes, which allowed the student to gain credit and work while they explored a career interest. Among the vocations were PELE CPre-Employment Labora- tory Educationj, sponsored by Ms. Lynda Temple, HECE CHOme Economics Co-operative Educa- tionj, sponsored by Ms. Cindy Bird, and FHA CFuture Homemakers of Americaj, sponsored by the homemaking teachers. These groups all dealt with forms of living such as taking care of children and senior citizens, as well as careers in floristry and similar occupations. Aside from just working on career plans, members of the clubs worked on projects for the school and had fun while they were doing it. Members of the PELE lab held parties for children in their classes, as well as participating in the Christmas Project Adoption sponsored by the student council. Various other projects were used to raise money for the club. Among these were candy sales and Valentine Carnation sales. ' Celebrating OEA sponsor Ms. Mary Pittman's birthday, lab member Aliscia Adams enjoys a piece of birthday cake. OEA members celebrated many special days during the year. PELE president Claire Cardwell said, I plan on having a career with children, so PELE was really a great thing for me to be involved in. I had a lot of fun while I learned. The HECE club was similar to PELE, but the types of careers they worked with were varied. The program included child development, clothing and textiles, consumer education, family living, and food and housing. U The FHA club was made-up of all students enrolled in a homemaking course, so the membership was quite large. Students who were active in the FHA program participated in various activities, such as Carnation sales, a school- beautification project, and various breakfasts and lunch- eons. . The annual FHA hayride was also held in mid-October at Cottonwood Park in Irving. Executive Committee chairman Roy McClurg said, Being in FHA is not only a lot of fun, but it's a part oflearningg we get into other aspects of learning.

We hated it the night before our term theme was due and it was three in the morning and we had not yet begun to type it. We hated it when our science projects were due and it fell apart on the way to school and we especially hated it on semester exam days. We were not exaggerating---school, yech. And to top it all off, school was boring, ordinary. It was bad enough that we had to spend the day here, but we had to work, too. But sometimes, the academic aspects of school were interesting, informative and maybe a little bit fun. All of us had days when we walked out of a class happy and excited thinking about what had gone on inside. Maybe it was because of an A plus on a difficult exam, or a good, interesting lecture, or just the happy feeling of knowing you had a teacher that really cared. There were many different routes we could take down the long, winding road to the land of graduation. - We were required to have 20 credits to graduate in the state of Texas. How we went about acquiring them was for the most part, our own choice. Solid subjects such as English, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, Physical Education, and Health only took up little more than half of the time that was available to us to spend in high school. The other half, if not interrupted by study halls or work passes, was spent in electives. Offering a diverse and specialized curriculum, electives gave us the opportunity to delve into a particular subject we were particularly fascinated with, often leading to a career in that same general area of study. Academics, in itself, was an ordinary, everyday aspect of all of our lives. However, it was in the way we individually chose to handle our learning situations that made them out of the ordinary for everyone.

We do have a government and the idea is to get involved. Even though students had little input in present world happenings, the future held the door wide open for politically- bound people and even those with just simple interest. Although history may not prepare a student for any certain trade, it does help the individual understand international affairs, the causes of war, the results of war, prejudice in our world, and elected power, said Ms. Swindle. Adding to the list of fundamental studies, mathe- matics, a formula consisting of absolute values, ratios, proofs, line equations, and several others provided multiples of detailed problems for students. Although many scholars failed to notice the significance of math elements in their near futures, the evidence of its' importance could probably be seen at home with family economic budgets and in the pocketbooks of several laboring part-timers. Mr. Ken Semons, chairperson of the Math Department said, Almost any aspect of education affects one's future, but being able to balance a checkbook, figure bank state- ments, and plan trips is a necessity for any person. The different stages of arithmetic, ranging from basic algebra to calculus, each attained a specific goal of usage for post- graduation, ' As a career aid, science provided a substantial back- ground for medicine, oceano- graphy, botany, and several Physics and chemistry were two science classes that prepared the optimistic scholar for college.

One should take biology to discover how living things relate to the environment, said Ms. Mary Hill, Science Department chairperson. Several students felt the necessity of learning science while others realized the future that this field of study held for its participants. Physical science has helped me learn how to figure out equations and to know more about the different types of experiments and mixtures, said junior Tony Freeman. V Although many people may not have considered physical education as a core course, it did instruct students in an important manner that guided lifestyle, personality, and physical ability and was therefore known as a basic class. If for no other reason, students continued to enter PE even after their required time was up due mainly to the fact that they enjoyed it and possibly because physical activity provided a way of releasing pressure piled up in an English class or some other fun class. I think in this modern day that people get very little physical activity. PE is an outlet that teaches individual sports and almost anything else, said PE chairperson Ms. Anne Uhr. Examining even the smallest details would have provided the only way of determining whether or not an individual student should have enjoyed a class, whether the class was interesting enough to pass, or even if the person attempting it had the least bit of incentive.

He knew not how to employ the present, but he knew that it had a name. It was commonly known as choice but properly distinguished as elective. Communicating in a strange form ofbabble may have sounded like a simple method of memorization, but its activities- entailed concentration and determination. Ms. Connie Elmore, chairperson of the Foreign Language Department said, Students in foreign language not only gain a better understanding of English grammar and vocabulary, but they also learn how to relate to foreign people and their cultures. It has been said that singing is a born talent, but any student with an interest and ability to learn was eligible to participate in either Girls' Choir, Concert Choir, A Cappella Choir, or the Singer Company, for the more advanced voicers. Choir director Mr. Tom Jennings said, The discipline that one learns in choir carries over into dedication and responsibility. Communication to almost anyone with ears, came in the form of shiny, tubular structures with jungle-like sounds. The melodies heard in band, though, were tremendously refined and individual. Although marching band suffered through practices at 7:30 a.m. every morning, members realized that practice was the key to success. Development of skills such as researching, analyzing complex problems, and becoming aware of current events were only the beginning of debate's benefits. We compete at a couple of hundred tournaments per year. Debate opens the intellectual sense of the students, said debate coach Mr. Gregg Hartney. Both debate and speech provided a way of stuttering or turning pale due to fright, but most students left the courses with feelings of confidence. Besides the experience gained in line memorization, being in front of peers aided in future confrontations with large crowds.

Setting a head start on life By Cameron Schluter hile still in high school, many students had not yet decided what they wanted pursue as a career. But those no had made up their minds rned the chance to get a head art in their careers by taking lvantage of specialized icational courses. There were a imber of these courses from hich to choose. For those students who were anning on going into one of the ilitary forces, Reserved Officer raining Corps KROTCJ was commended. But ROTC was it only to train for the military. also taught leadership. Senior Susan Taylor said, OTC has really been a lot of n for me, and live made a lot of iends. I don't regret anything aout it. It helped me get accepted f colleges, and it might even get ie a scholarship. Mechanically inclined ,udents had a variety of classes om which to choose. Those who anted to work with cars rolled in Auto Mechanics or uto Paint and Body. Then there was General lechanical Repair, where udents learned to repair small ectrical appliances, according their instructor. Radio and TV, and Refrig- eration and Air Conditioning taught the repair and main- tenance of radios, TVs, refrigerators, and air condition- ers. Electronics was a class which taught the wiring of many electric appliances. Homemaking proved to be the most popular vocational course among the girls. The boys in the school liked homemaking, almost as much as the girls, according to many students. In homemaking, the students' learned table manners and settings, and also learned nutrition. The favorite part of homemaking for the students was the cooking. On the days that the students prepared food in class, the end of the period was saved for the treat of eating what the students had prepared. The aroma of the foods lingered in the halls all day, tempting all who passed by the homemaking doors. ' As an extra added attraction, drama teacher Mr. George Morrow, and counselor Mr. Gordon Wilson shared the knowledge of preparing a traditional Italian meal, which they had learned in a summer cooking class. of the other vocational were involved in the Some courses construction of the Building Theresa Kinser Trades house on a residential lot near the school. Many vocational students put time and effort into this house, and were proud to see it finally take shape. Under the careful supervision of Mr. David York, Building Trades teacher, the construction slowly began. The house began to rise from the ground and take form, thanks to the combined efforts of the Plumbing, Metal Trades, and Building Trades students, to name a few. When completed, this house was to be sold commercially. The courses .in the Industrial Arts Department offered training to future architects, draftsmen, building engineers, and carpenters of IHS. Each of these courses dealt with and prepared the students for the next level courses. After finishing General Drafting, the students then had the choice to either go on to Architecture I or to take Pre- Engineering. Junior Christy Schluter was taking Architecture I, and planned to go on to Architecture II her senior year. Architecture has given me the experience I need to go out there when I graduate and get a good job, said Christy.

This was true of many vocational courses. Cosmetology was a new course. The students in cosmetology went to school halfa day, and then were hused to a cosmetology school for the rest of the day. Make-up Art, Hair Care, and Dermatology were all taught in this course. For the students who had not planned on going on to college, these specialized courses were a good opportunity to earn the experience they needed to get a good joh after graduation.

S I f' 9 5 iii: '79 1 'inistration To keep the school running smoothly, administrators performed various duties to aid students in their quest m toward graduation. Administrators seek im while maintaining t d't' By Cameron Schluter he year's accomplishments of the IHS administrators and support staff were great not only in number, but also in effort and intention. The administration tried to improve in the areas in which the school had trouble last year and in years before. New methods of solving and controlling the problems were put into practice. According to Mr. Ray Davis, freshman and sophomore vice- principal, the main problem was the lack of attendance and the large number of tardies. But the 'administration did understand, and put the new attendance rules into effect. The rules were that if any student missed more than eight days of school with one being unexcused, the student would not be allowed to take his semester tests. Mr. Davis was a new addition to the IHS administration this year. He came to IHS two years ago as a coach and a history teacher, but was promoted to vice-principal after his first year. As always, the counselors provided a vital link in the chain of command. Beginning in the summer, the counselors began working on making the year a smooth one. Throughout the year, the counselors were busy with scheduling, and advising, and with checking, and verifying students' records. After 17 years of counseling, Mrs. Anna Beth Heffernan retired from the counseling staff at the completion of the year to be with her husband. In addition to the adminis- tration, there were several support staffs which helped the school in various ways. One of these groups was the nursing staff which operated the school clinic. The nurses undertook a very large task this year. The task of checking inoculations of all students who were required to take the shots for measles fell to the nurses. Another integral part of the support staff, the school secretaries had an organization which promoted their educa- tional and social interests. At Christmas, the secretaries held a banquet for the IHS secretaries at the Irving Ramada Inn. Mrs. Nell McPherson said, My favorite part ofthe banquet was the White Elephant gift exchange. Everyone received gag gifts from a secret person who had drawn Mike Mcneafi What about tomorrow? proveme F5 llOl'l their name.

Scott Baxter honors By Leslie White he students who were awarded the tltles of Top Tiger, Top Tigerette, Lair Salutes, and Who's Who almost personified the term out of the ordinary. Being named to one of the positions was indeed an achievement of which to be proud. Generally, the recipients of the awards were seniors. Out of a graduating class of approximately 450 students, those who were given these titles represented the cream of the crop, so to speak. Given to the two students who best epitomized academic and extracurricular dedication to the school, the awards of Top Tiger and Top Tigerette were selected by a panel of faculty members from a list of students whose activities and accomplish- ments were compiled by the Lair Staff. In order to be nominated, a student must have been involved in various facets of the school. Eight runners-up were selected and awarded the presitigious title of Lair Salutes. Chosen by the teachers in every department of the school, the Who's Who awards were presented to students who exhibited interest and talent in a specified subject area. These titles and awards were not taken lightly by studentsg they were the result of four solid years of hard work and headaches. Honors were something to work toward and concentrate on and they also were a wonderful surprise to the extraordinary few who received them.

Most homerooms combined a party with the celebration of Christmas and adopting a child for an hour. Gaining lame and wealth By Leslie White hey made money, were by invitation only, and required dressing for the occasion. Tournaments sponsored by clubs and athletics at IHS served useful purposes in the develop- ment of matters mental, physical, and monetary for organizations. Offering many different types of tournaments to suit diverse interests among students in the school, tournaments provided a healthy, competitive atmosphere in which talented individuals could, and often did, flourish. To cover the financial end of the tournament, which included purchasing trophies and ribbons for the winners, organizations always charged an entrance fee to other schools that competed, although tournaments were an invitation onlyl, affair which would, in normal circumstances, preclude any type of fee. We ranatournamentthatwas a state qualifier for the Texas Forensic League including Lincoln-Douglas debate and drama competitions. We also ran MacArthur's tournament because they don't have a debate program and consequently we got all the entry fee money, said junior debater Stan Eigenbrodt. It would be virtually Theresa Kinser Mu Alpha Theta officers Tracy Wells and Diane Martichuski inform students at the math tournament where their contest will be held. Students often played a major role in running tournaments. impossible for the club and athletic sponsors to run a tournament single-handedly so aid was often enlisted from members of the organizations to keep the competitions running as smoothly as possible. The students helped with grading and ran off test scores, as well as numerous other chores. Basically, they just helped with everything that' needed to be helped with, Ms. Vivian Swindall, sponsor of Mu Alpha Theta said. A home for on hou By Leslie White dopting a child is a serious step not to be taken lightly. Its effects on those involved can last a lifetime. Although on a considerably- smaller scale, Project Adoption, sponsored by the student council, offered students and faculty the chance to experience the joy of adopting a child for an hour and providing him or her with a Christmas rich with the splendor of giving. Approximately 78 homerooms sponsored children from low- income families from IHS feeder elementary schools, Paul Keyes, John R. Good, and W.T. Hanes to provide the children with the type of Christmas that they could not ordinarily have at home. I think the project came off very successfully. From every- thing I heard, everyone was real excited about it, including the teachers because they all felt that it was worthwhile. A number of the kids' parents called the school and said how much they appreciated it. A counselor from Paul Keyes wrote us a letter and said that the kids were still talking about it. I think everyone has gained some happy memories from it, said senior Diann Smith, president of the student council. Although the project was deemed a success by the school as a whole, Diann found that many had complaints about the diverse amounts of money spent on gifts by different homerooms. nWe had a lot of suggestions how to improve the project. people thought we shoud the amount of money spent on children because some rooms give really big while others don't and they want the kids to compare and bad, she said. To prepare for the parties accompanied the adopting of children, students committees within the ho to purchase food, gifts, clothing keeping in mind children requested as gifts what their parents said needed. V Other students took the the project more seriously others. Seniors Anna Ha ' Mike McLean became with the family of an child, Cindy Jones, after on a story about her family for the Tiger Rag. Her mom, well, the family, was really neat. weren't depressed and down their situation, she was because she couldn't give her the kind of Christmas deserved. On Christmas Eve brought them a turkey and traditional Christmas foods some more toys for the Anna said. She added, It was even because she gave us all like we were really good she wasn't embarrassed at all. ITIS and By Leslie White leep, glorious sleep.

Freshman Warren Conrad concentrates on keeping his high score while playing Galaga. Computer crc1ze:the new games people ploy By Leslie White cross the nation there were reports of people who could do it for 24 hours or more. One person who did it for 31 hours was fed Lasagna because he did not want to stop. Computer games such as Centipede, Defender, Space- Invaders, and Asteroids became an empire, where Pac-Man and his queen Ms. Pac-Woman reigned with unquestionable power, not to mention unquestionable profit. Students spent exorbitant sums of money, as well as many hours of valuable time, on these wonders of video computer technology, but the majority agreed that the fascination these arcade games held for them -resulted from the fun with advanced technology taking an obvious second place. I started frequenting arcades because of friends. One night we were all at Malibu and played Pac- Man and I've been playing it ever since. Now, I play practically every day. It's sort oflike the song goes, 'Pac-Man fever' because you know the machine is always there as well as the chance that today might be the day when you get your highest score and that keeps me playing, Anna Harris said. Since a game on a machine cost at least 2542, a long playing spree could get to be very expensive.

It seemed that most students had an established place in their minds that they went to whenever the ufever' struck. Some preferred convenience stores, while others frequented arcades such as Missile Base, Odyssey, and Funway Freeway. I usually go to Missile Base. Every once in a while they'll have alive band and I'll just go up there to play and listen to the music, freshman Warren Conrad said. Other students went to particular arcades often enough to be recognized by the owners of the game rooms and regulars inside. They don't know our names,l1ut they recognize us, Anna said. Although most parents seem to have formed adverse opinions on the controversial subject of computer games, students recognized an intrinsic value in them. Deborah said, Your reflexes improve because you have to think and move faster.

In naming all-time favorit e movies, most students named late 193 ' 0's and early 1940's films like Gone With the Wind and Th , e Wizard of Oz but some students f pre erred more recent films. I really loved 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' with Harrison F d or . I liked the adventure and Biblical s ense of the movie because no one really knows what the ark is l about, said Debbie Sears.

Members of the debate squad went to Boston to compete in the high school tournament hosted by Harvard University, a compe- tition of national importance. The entire debate squad did real well this year. Our performances in tournaments this year, as well as what we did at summer workshops qualified us for the tournament. Mr. fGreggb Hartney also knows a few people up there and that helped a lot. Since we are not well-known, we had to establish that we were good enough to go up there, said senior debater Mark Dyer. While in Boston, the team took advantage of all the historical background in the city by touring various landmarks from the American Revolution. t'We had one day to look around Boston, and as it happened that day it snowed so we played in the snow a bit. We went on the Freedom Trail that day, too. The administration surprised us and paid for one nice night out so we went to a really nice restaurant, Mark said. Because the best teams in the country were to attend the meet, the debaters spend long hours re- evaluating their arguments in preparation for the competition. We did spend a lot of time before the tournament research- ing and getting our stuff together. There were some good teams there but there were others who were not up to parf' said Mark. The team expected that the experience they gained at Harvard, even though they did not make it out of the preliminaries, would assist them in the tournaments they attended for the remainder of the year. If we send a team to nationals, we know what to expect. The ideas we got helped us re-analyze our cases and that should help a lot in itself,', Mark said. Mini M xg 231 .-5 1 .. ' .

School- By issue' what othing or no one is perfect. Everything and everybody has room left for improvement, including Irving High School. Most people had very definite ideas on what they thought high school life should be like. Obviously, no school could meet with everyone's approval, and as a result of that, actions to improve the school were devised while past theories were put into action. Junior Leslie Baugh said, I think everybody needs to have, I know this is a big word, 'spiritf I think that more people should be involved in more extracurricular activities because that unifies the school more than just coming to class everyday and then leaving to go home to to forget all about it. I think if we had a dance in the gym more people would come. If everybody would take part in activities, the school would be more like a school and that could improve it. Other students felt that too much time and effort, as well as money, was spent on worrying about disci- are atraid to say how much they care. The only logical way to go about it then is to do little things like this, junior Teresa Rhodd Students often gave parties to a favorite teacher to help them celebrate the occasion of their birthday, although in a much less- obvious way than hanging signs Senior Aliscia Adams said, We gave Ms. CMaryJ Pittman a party because we love her.

Some students worried that too much was going on around them and that the administration should have filled them in. I think we are too censored or I think the administration is trying to keep things from us that we are already aware of. Their main concern is 'What will the parents think?' when they really should think about us first, senior Roy McClurg said. Still other students felt tliatthe quality of teaching should be monitored more closely. Others felt that activities should sometimes be held during school rather than having so many activities at night.

After the record had been set, there existed a thought, a goal, in the athletes' minds, to beat their own records to prove that it couldn't have been dumb luck. Senior Pat Collini set the record for the most free throws in one game with a tally of ILS, defeating the record of 1980 graduate Jeff Barnett. Scott Baxter Senior Pat Collini set the record for the most free throws made in one game with 13, defeating the record of 1980 graduate Jeff Barnett. I set the record by mere chance. I was glad, but it didn't really have a bearing on my playing game. The best part about it was beating Jeff Barnett who held so many awards, Pat said. Although Pat had nearly broken the record or came close to it many times, the day after he set it to be exact, he didn't believe that it would take long before someone else came along and shot 14. I think Glenn Sullivan will probably defeat it next year. He shoots a lot of free throws. He should defeat it, it's not hard to do, he said. Holding the current record for the discus throw in track and field competition, senior Nancy Fletcher looked forward to beating her record in her final track season. I didn't know that I had set a record. It was kinda neat but I wasnlt all that excited because I didn't know what it was. I think breaking records is something to aim for, she said. Since track and field records are broken quite frequently, senior Paul Casey was not especially surprised when senior Tony Gonzales broke his record. Records were made to be broken, Paul said. I set the record last year and hopefully, Tony has set a goal for someone else to beat. That's what records are really all about: making sure someone will get better in the future because of it. Mcirton's: ci feast tit for an Oriental king By Leslie White t sounds a bit absurd, but the whole ruckus was a result of a few eggrolls three years ago and a biology report. Marfan's Oriental Feast, the brainchild of senior Joel Ross, was a mystery to many students throughout the course of the year. Posters and signs announced the arrival of the feast all over the school. ' Marfan was a nickname Igot in biology after I reported on Marfan's syndrome, a very strange and rare disease. The oriental feast originated when I brought some eggrolls to lunch one day my freshman year. Every year I've added a little bit more on the one day I'd bring the oriental food and it evolved into the feast, Joel said. To add an extra touch to his Eastern celebration, Joel authorized a friend's father to print up some invitations for the lunch to add a nice touch. 'Tm trying, to make a big Serving food at Marfan's Oriental Feast, senior Joel Ross and graduate Mike Hrabal provided students with a more exotic choice for lunch. production out ofit this year. Some other people will be chipping in to buy some food. How much food we have will definitely reflect the amount of money we collect, said Joel. Throughout the planning of the feast, very few people knew the true origins. Joel estimated that about five people really knew what it was all about. 'Tm sure the feast will be a success. The only thing that I can foresee regretting is if my fourth period teacher finds out that I'm going to skip it on that day so I can be there for the entire party, he said.

Students had already prepared themselves for the inevitable---life after high school---by saving mums to hastily-scribbled bits of paper with a special message. Most students admitted that they saved practically everything, however impractical it may be, because they want to recall every memory as they grow older and want to draw from past experiences. I've saved this ring from a bubble gum machine that had 'love' on it that the first guy I ever went with gave me. My nephew stepped on it and broke it. I still have the pieces. I nearly killed him, said junior Frances Santoscoy. Other students, however, chose not to save the majority of things they could have collected in high school for the future. Senior Regina Cox said, I'm ready to get out of high school. I guess I'm looking more to the future and not to the past, although I'm saving things such as the yearbooksf' I'll always keep the things I've collected in high school because my mom has said to me many times that she wished that she had saved her stuff, Frances said.

Individuals--- that was the key word. Although we were all, at one time or another, grouped together into the masses, we all retained a sense of individuality, a sense of what we were personally: to ourselves. We were all a part of a group. If we were not categorized by what club or by what special circle of friends we were associated with, we all fell into broadly-based categories. We were either male or female, black or white, a senior, junior, sophomore, freshman, or a member of the faculty. There was no one immune to the basic system. However, sometimes categories became so specific that they inhibited our independence if we still chose to belong at that point. Indirectly, this sort of group individuality made us all a part ofone whole- --Irving High School. The school gave us all something in common.

But through it all, our individual personalities shone through, making IHS a compendium of thousands of personalities all rolled into one.

IHS' out of the ordinary character was a direct result of 2,041 extraordinary individuals.

Classes Division 23.3 236 Faculty The summer knows Sunn days By Chris Sekin ver the years, the teaching profession continued to n increase in size and popularity, but unfortunately, the paychecks did not increase proportionately and several present-day instructors were forced to acquire second jobs. Some of the part-time work took place after school and on weekends, which made for very long, tiresome days. One such laborer was Ms. Susann Cartwright, government teacher, who worked as a grocery checker at Safeway Food Store. Said Ms. Cartwright, The main reason I got the job was for the money. Surviving on today's salary is rather difficult. Working from a confined booth, the disguised teacher cashed checks, checked grocery items, and did bookkeeping. I like my job because it is a diversion from teaching and you do not have to think to do it which is quite different from school. In fact, said Ms. Cartwright, UI even got my picture on TV once. Although some faculty members worked over the summer simply for added income, there were a few who desired an extension of their true professions. Several teachers even preferred laboring for the duration of their year, usually during late evening hours or even on weekends. The Century II Supper Club in Dallas hosted Mr. Glen Oliver, band director, and the other two- thirds of his trio consisting of a drum player, a bass player, and a pianist, Mr. Oliver, playing the drums. Pounding away on four- hour nights, three nights weekly, Mr. Oliver played music suitable for dining, dancing, and easy listening. Said Mr. Oliver, 'AI enjoy music so much that the job Government teacher Ms. Susann Cartwright holds a part-time job at the Safeway located on Shady Grove and MacArthur to earn extra money for personal expenses to aid her teachers' salary. Although the job took up much of her spare time, Ms. Cartwright did not allow it to interfere with her teaching duties. Scott Baxter To keep busy in the summer, Mr. Glen Oliver plays the drums in a band at Century II Supper Club. Mr. 0liver's love for music made the job seem like a hobby to him. seemed like a game. Although the postman ususally rings twice, one teacher dressed in a blue suit and delivered mail every day from his own personal car. Mr. Ken Semon was probably recognized by several students while opening mail boxes. His job as a substitute' rural mail K carrier, which he has had for 17 years, provided not only some extra spending money, but a source of relaxation unlike that of the teaching sector of work. I originally got the job because I really needed the money, but it had turned into a ihobby, said Mr. Semon. Although the job entailed the mere sorting of mail, Mr. Semon recalled a busy time. Said Mr. Semon, One year I had 537 stops. In spite of the fact that he usually had clean hands, Coach Tommy Sills learned that the dirty dozen was not an outlaw gang, but a bunch oftrees, plants, shrubs, and vines that had to be planted and thousands of blades of grass that needed to be cut. Said Coach Sills, By using flyers on doors, and connections from earlier days, I was able to maintain a stable business which consumed my time well. This one-man operation displayed a popular trend among vacation- ing coaches because it provided physical advantages, as well as a chance to get out in the sun. Said Coach Sills, HI enjoyed being outside and earning money for the work I put in. Some students may have remarked that a teacher did not have a very difficult occupation and that most ofthem got a three- month vacation during the summer. This may have been true for some, but several instructors felt the need to learn and to also earn more. Some just enjoyed working. Whatever the reasons for their decisions towards working may have been, the ones who did work in the summer were usually sure never to tell their students. Said Ms. Cartwright, One must get away from school at some point to save their sanity.

After being at IHS for 17 years, Mrs. Heffernan retired at the end of the year. Besides counseling at IHS, Mrs. Heffernan had also had many other years experience in teaching and counseling. She served as a substitute, as an assistant teacher at NTSU, and had a degree in counseling. I feel that students turning 18 get the wrong impression of adulthood. They don't really understand the responsibilities they must take ong some cannot handle them, Mrs. Heffernan observed about one of the largest tasks facing counselors. Mrs. Heffernan also felt that students did not think of counselors in any way other than as just providing schedule changes. Counselors are here to help students with any problem they might come across such as family, school, and teachers, as well as trying to get up a good schedule to benefit the student, she said about the role she saw for counselors in students' lives. Outside of school, Mrs. Heffernan enjoyed other activities such as camping, all kinds of sports, and other activities with her husband, who was' also-retired.fShe-plannedcto devote her retired years to being a good wife and mother and spending time with her grandchildren. She also would like to travel witlfher husbarrd, now that they have the spare time. Besides these things, Mrs. Heffernan was also a Girl Scout leader and planned on spending a lot of time with the organization. I like to spend time either helping or teaching students more about their lives and what is out there for them. I enjoy helping them out and I've enjoyed the time spent here helping the students at IHS, she said.

By Evelyn Boyd othing could be enjoyed more by students than parties like club parties, Christmas parties, New Year's parties, Valentine's Day parties, banquets, weekend parties, and end-of-the-year parties, however, unreal as it may have seemed to some students, teachers also enjoyed and engaged in...yes, parties! Before the school year began during the in-service week, the teachers got together for a hamburger cook-out prepared by the administrators. Then at the close of the year, the principals once again held a cook-out for the faculty members. At these cook- outs, a casual atmosphere was prevalent, with teachers concentrating on fellowship with their fellow teachers. Among the varied get- togethers that the teachers engaged in were parties, cook- outs, and a Christmas luncheon. The most popular of the faculty get-togethers was the annual Christmas tea held in the homemaking living room. This gave the teachers a chance to socialize and enjoy leisure time together. Ms. Billye Hardin said, Itis a good idea to get the teachers to know one another out of the classroom in a more informal atmosphere. We also exchange recipes and fellowship. At the Christmas tea, faculty members brought their favorite dishes from various food categories and a ham and turkey were donated by the administra- tion to round out the menu. The best part of the tea seemed to be goodies, which featured many diverse and interesting dishes. Faculty parties had advan- tages such as allowing teachers the chance to meet the new teachers of the school, enabling teachers to form associations with other teachers not in the same halls, and offering the opportunty to honor teachers leaving or retiring at the end of the year. 'II get ,a chance to see the teachers that are not in my hall that I never ever see. It is also an opportunity to meet new teachers. It is a nice change from the regular routine of teaching class, said Ms. Cindy Sanders. Luncheons also gave them a chance to exchange gifts, enjoy food, and talk about the accounts of the school day. These were usually held on teachers' birthdays and were given in the lounges that the different teachers frequented. A very unknown committee to most IHS students was the facultyls Hospitality Committee, which was chaired by Ms. Inelda Alaniz. The main function was to plan the Christmas tea, the retirement breakfast, and any other faculty-associated social function. I believe it helps out the school because it is a way of coordinating faculty events. It makes us a unit, instead ofjust a departmentf, said Ms. Susann Cartwright. At the beginning of the year, teachers from each hall were picked at random to serve as part of the committee. We are striving to be more active and to let everyone know that we are there. I enjoy being chairperson and I think we do a bit of good and bring enjoyment to members of the faculty, said Ms. Alaniz. During Christmas they collected money from the teachers and a percentage was presented to each principal as a Christmas gift. This was done before school in the library in a short ceremony. In addition to that, the PTA had a teacher appreciation day in the spring and various PTA members brought food which was placed in the homemaking living room. The committee also sent flowers to faculty members for births, deaths, and sickness or hospitalization. All the teachers gave 853 at the start of the year to support this fund. Cooperation and enthusiasm for the actions of the committee were evident. As one teacher said, UA committee like this provides a vital function in such a large school because it makes people feel important and valued at those times they most need it. At the Christmas faculty party, homemaking teachers Ms. Billye Hardin and Ms. Beth Fullerton celebrate the holiday by feasting on traditional delights. Because the party was held in the homemaking living room, the teachers of the department assist in hosting the party. Th eresu Kinsef Klllsgl.

The means by which decisions about human behavior in a community are made and enforced. The community was IHS and the te'rm's meaning was applied to one locally-famous organization known as the student council, whose members learned various tricks of politicking. Several representatives of student council were introduced to the group either through representative friends or by pure luck. I wasn't in student council, but was invited to go to a state convention with them. After that, I knew I wanted to get in the organization, said Marc Schmitz, vice-president of the group. The decisions which a national government made were scaled down to IHS through student council and several representatives realized the importance of their work. Promoting school spirit, increasing student involvement in school affairs, and establishing a better relationship between students and teachers is the main purpose of student council, said president Diann Smith. Project Adoption, a system set-up to aid Irving children in need during the Christmas season, SMILE week, a program established to direct youth's attention towards the dangers of drugs and alcohol, and timely visits to area nursing homes were all assets to the progress of the organization. Some representatives re- called other events which they felt would hold memories in the Stud nt Government future. How can a person stay dedicated to an organization loyally for four years? At times the job was less than easy according to some members, but the results made the effort trivial. Said Diann, 'flt wasjust so much fun and it did so much for the school that I never could even consider getting out. When you're just a student, you really cannot help your school or your fellow classmates. As president of student council, Diann realized that the group was not only a side club, but also a learning center. Said Diann, The leadership gave me a chance to communicate with my fellow students, teachers, and administrators. It helped me so much to be able to talk to Mr. tCurtisJ Hines and to find some way of talking to Ms. tllaisyj Yarboroughf, Did these former members expect to experience flashes of their minds when they were driving by the old high school in years to come when they were in college or in the real working world? Would the things they did to help the ever- improving premises of IHS come frequently to their minds? Said Randy Perkins, I'll always recall the flag poles. Whenever I see them, I'll know that I helped from my freshman to my senior year to raise the money for them. We needed 3S3,000. The nights were slowly fading though, and with it came the cessation of all of those overtime nights spent with Coach Steve Hamberger painting signs for upcoming games. And what about the little room in the back of B208, the place where it all happened? Student councils will come and go several times in the future. But the representatives of the 1982 organization, those involved all four years of their high school life left an imprint of dignity to teach the next generations. Three-year student govern- ment member Marc Schmitz gives the closing statement at the student council banquet.

By Leslie White ' lthough many seniors admitted that the real charm of Mini- College Day was getting out of school for half a day, just as many saw the benefits of learning more about college through living it. Seniors had varied reasons for attending the seminar, ranging from the popular 'Lto get out of class, to genuine gaining of insight into college and the benefits it could bring. 'KI went to find out how the classes, teachers, and atmos- phere ofcollege was really like. A lot of people want to go to a four-year college without knowing what it really is like. Signing up for her afternoon classes, senior Terri Setser chooses two courses out of the many different selections offered to students during college day. 0 01' ll0t to This day gave us a basic idea of what we should expect from college and what college would expect from us, said senior Patti Nelson. North Lake College, who sponsored the college day for all three Irving high schools, provided the program to inform students on the processes of college, as well as what kinds of classes students could expect. Dr. Glen Bounds, vice- president of instruction at North Lake said, It is our opinion that many students don't know their options of training and qualifying themselves in the adult world. Students from families in which both parents attended college may have clearer counsel about continuing their education, but those whose parents did not attend college don't have the benefit of that 8 help. We wanted to giv students the opportunity tt hear those options from other sources, and to experienc being on campus and in college classroom. Most students attende courses in which they had special interest or in whic they had already decided tc major in college. Senior Jennifer Near said, I had already thought about taking some art classes a North Lake so Mini-Colleg Day offered me the oppor tunity to find out more about their program. I learned about their program and learned some new techniques that I brought back to the IHS art roomf' Before registering for t instructional classes offered North Lake, senior David Kl decides what classes he wo like to attend.

Mike McLean When he received a custom van as a donation at the first football game of the season, Ray Cerda was interviewed by Channel 4 News to gain his feelings on the support the school had given him after his accident. Tad llcuprev Frank Parra Chevrolet donated a van to senior Ray Cerda for his personal use. The van was soon modified to fit Ray's handicap. 746 Stniors Ray Cerda Rising above the past By Chris Sekin record-breaking track season and a fourth year of high school football promising the future position of star quarterback. All of this athletic fortune came to a sudden downfall lastyear in a tragic automobile accident for senior Ray Cerda. But even though the skills may have vanished in the confusion and the adrenaline remains motionless in those victorious legs, new victories lay in sight and blurry goals of rehabilitation become clearer. Although the accident will forever shadow the memory of high school years, the achievements, so great in number, will hopefully stay imprinted in Ray's mind. Those close to Ray may remember his two record-breaking times in track which now stand solid in the Tiger record books. They recollect the exciting Friday night football games in which Ray pulled through for the team in the last minutes of the exhibition. These memories can never die, but the past does not provide a nesting place for a person destined to progress. Even though Rayis disability may have dominated the conversation of anyone who spoke with him in the months following the accident, evolution was slowly providing a change. Said Ray, Students are beginning to treat me a little differently in that they don't ask me ifI need help as constantly as they used to. But did this attitude reflect negatively on the students? Not according to Ray. This shows me thatI am no longerjust a sight for pity and that I am starting to blend back into the-crowd, said Ray. The future. Some contended that it held a very limited range for handicapped invididuals, but narrow-mindedness didn't get Ray as far as he was. Ive considered coaching or even going into the field of data processing. Whatever I do though, my first year will probably be spent doing basics at North Lake, said Ray. As strange as it may have seemed, though, his future plans changed little, if any, from those before the accident. Said Ray, I had planned to run track, but not out of state. I've always wanted to coach high school trackf' The future is there for the taking, but would he remember the past? Many said that the future is molded by one's past and in Rayis case, this statement may have held some value. Of course, high school did not occupy all of his teenage years, but IHS seemed to be his birthplace. Friends. They come a dime a dozen in times of trouble, but true companions stuck together endlessly. I'll remember my good friends and all of the coaches who displayed their skills as true leaders, said Ray. Other friends of the faculty included Ms. Becky Connatser and Coach Steve Hamberger. Said Ray, Coach Hamberger was with me the entire summer after the accident. He was there when I really needed someone and so was Ms. Connatserf' Other memories of school were most likely what he learned. The teachers I have had have been real good and they taught exactly what they were supposed to teachf' said Ray. On the other hand, high school provided some things to forget. Said Ray, I won't miss being put on a certain schedule. That really bothered me. But I.will certainly miss athletics because that is where I spent most of my time and put in the most effort. Although the medical expenses were covered by insurance and should not getin the way ofcollege, the therapy will continue for the rest ofRay's life. Even though it sounded smooth, the actuality of the word stood for extensive training in learning how to use aides and tiring workouts on a regular schedule. 'iMy therapy at home includes working with weights on my upper body and ranging tstretchingj my legs at night, said Ray. Needless-to-say, when the times get tougher, the rough must get rougher. Said Ray, L'There are times when Ijust want to forget about exercising for a full week, but I know that I have to keep it up ifl want to stay well. The endurance was building. His life had taken a turn for the worse and chances were that he would be unable to walk normally for the rest of his life. But the bitterness almost faded from existence. First, I felt some bitterness, but as time goes by you learn to accept things as they comef, said Ray. Luckily he made the best of what he got and most importantly, he wasn't looking back. Said Ray, 'AI hope people can learn from my accident. Maybe it's time we listened. - fr uf 1 5 ' f M1 9? I 5. F ' K' V 'QM Q -lr Y 11 , J -f, z -a' f Yt -..

Some didn't even want to think about it until after attending college. But for a few seniors students juggling books, as well as jobs and spouses, was a way of life. Senior Vicki Woods, who had been married for over a year said, School is a lot harder since I've been married. Many students don't really know what it's like to really have a concentration problem. It gets hard when you have a lot of school work that you need to get done, plus a job to go to after school, and then having the responsibility of keeping the house and your marriage together. I'm definitely busier nowadays, but I really love it. It truly makes a very dedicated person. Besides just being married, some senior students even had children to tend to. Kristy Moore was one such senior. I love having a baby and a husband, but I admit that sometimes I feel very pressured, she said. HI want to spend so much time with my family and sometimes school comes between us, especially when I have a busy week at school. Describing a typical day in her life Kristy said, L'My day starts w getting myself and my baby ready leave each weekday morning, taki her to day care and then coming school. After school, I go pick her and try to spend as much time with and with my husband before having start my studies each nightfl S added, I'm glad, though, that I z still in school and didnlt let t pressures of a husband, a baby, a school together, drive me into wanti to quit5 I wouldn't want to do that all. With the pressures of scho spouses, children, and jobs, many these students found it hard concentrate on being active in schc activities. Illye Crance, anoth married senior said, I used to be rea involved in school activities, but no don't have any extra time anymore f anything5 even if I wanted to. I really wish that I had more ti to devote towards activities because would probably make school a lot mc interestingf' she continued. 'KBei1 married has affected my school life, b in a good way. I think of school now an experience that will help me in t future, where a while back I didn't ta it very seriouslyf' Illyce added. Discussing plans to go out .fter dinner, Vicki Woods and er. husband Derek decide on 'hether to attend a movie or pend a quiet night at home. 'iecause her school work equires studying, Vicki oods fits it in to her marriage y studying with her husband Derek, who is in the Air Force. t Shelly DeLeeuw FHA Advisory Committee, Class Pres.5 OEA Martha DeLeon NHS 3-45 Mu Alpha Theta 45 Spanish Club 2-45 Physics Club 4 Sharon Dempsey David Denkeler Monica DePetris FHA 1-21 HECE 35 Soccer Team 45 Office Practice 4 Raymond DeYoung Symphonic Band 2-4, Marching Band Pres. 45 TMEA Region Band 2-4, Section Leader 35 TMEA Area Band Ji-4, Finalist 45 All-State Solo KL Ensemble 3-45 Jazz Band 2-4, Section Leader 4 Delores Dickey ROTC l-4 Jeana Donaldson French Club 2- 45 Powderpuff 4 Ron Drennen Mike Drury Metal Trades 4 Alex Duaine Tennis 2--lg Basketlmll l Steve Duncan ICT 4 In an any fi shi, .marri V' .

Several seniors found that the phrase may have held some truth and by taking elective courses which were specifically designed to prepare them for the future, students learned the tricks of some trades. What a face, and look at that hair. Such words may have been frequent in a course known as Cosmetology. All of my teachers recommended that I get into Cosmetology. Ienjoyed working with hair and learning how to give permanents, hair cuts, and skin treatment, said Veronica Lopez. Most trades prepared students for college, and specifically for trade work immediately following high school. Said Veronica, It's a trade. You can pick up some techniques and work in a beauty salonf' The phone rings, the kids are yelling, and the pot is running over on the stove. Although this may sound like the average day of a housewife, it is not. Students in PELE classes found that teaching a group of rowdy children- wasn't as easy as just saying, Be quiet, please. In fact, traveling to another school and teaching little strangers was frightening to many. Said Kelly Smith, The reason I got into PELE was 250 Seniors Dyer-Ellis because I like little kids and thought it would be fun to teach and help little children. Kelly, who traveled to L.B. Barton Elementary School twice a week, decided that the training she received in the class truly ' prepared her for a future career in teaching. Said Kelly, Because you get the feeling of what a teacher really goes through in putting up with kids, I think that PELE was a great asset to my future. Students should understand one misconception about teachers is that it's not that they don't want to help every student, it's just that ,not allstudents need helpf' Learning about the trials of counselors and office secretaries was a major part of being a senior office aide. Besides attaining the knowledge of their elders, students learned filing skills, counseling skills, and even secretarial duties. Said Brady Rayburn, I was looking for something other than a class and I found that running errands and filing was really enjoyable and will help me get a better jobf' Many other office procedure students enjoyed the opportunity to meet several faculty members. The time narrowed down quickly until the seniors finally plunged into the real world, unless they went to college, of course. But just maybe some seniors felt a little surer of themselves knowing that they had learned a valuable skill while in high school. Brian Bowden In order to get a better job in the future, senior Brady Rayburn was an office aide to get a background in office skills. Senior Kelly Smith prepared for her future career as a kindergarten teacher through her PELE class, which took her to elementary schools to assist in teaching. if ll -- ' ::'g:1ggg:,, -fr - 'aznearvuzz-:if ,rfvrm ' .

But suddenly the graduate froze stiff and his mind skimmed back over the four long years that he had spent at a modest high school in Irving. Finally, the chains were unlocked and the unclassified citizen had a life of choices and the memory of how he got there. Although an aver- age 425 students received diplomas yearly, some express- ed their true feelings about their final high school departure with a little remorse. 'tMy Said Karlie Slough, li: 1 Members of the Senior Class display their school spirit by cheering at the MacArthur pep rally.

We should have had more freedom and definitely been treated with more respect, said Patti Sellschopp. Nevertheless, something special seemed to be imprinted on the hearts of those with dissatisfaction and by learning their lesson, they in turn learned how to give advice.

Even though homework may be the most remembered aspect of high school, almost all students will remember one particular location in the school where they spent a great amount of time. I guess I will remember accounting because that is the place where all my long headaches arosef' said Tammy Fetch. Other students became attached to the atmosphere of certain classrooms not only because of material decorations, but because of helpful teachers. Said Jennifer Near, I will remember art forever. The classroom's loose structure is what I really liked and Ms. fLaurenJ McWilliams was more than just a teacher, she was a friend. Although IHS will probably be remembered as a place where friends were made and lessons were learned, the school will also be remembered by some as a place where certain conditions should have been changed. ' J.. i, dants may be sick and . k 4 X 1 tired of taking the full blame for the some- what undesirable food they served, several seniors felt that the food should be improved. Said Rose Anne, I understand that we are on a fixed budget, but the food could have been more nutritious. Another aspect of departing the territory of black and gold was the loss of dependency, a quality several students were ready to dispose of the first day of their freshman years. Said Lynn Thompson, I have matured and I am able to make decisions better and I suppose that's partly because teachers press on students so much. No matter what attitude students held concerning high school in general, almost all felt that IHS had been an excellent school, academi- cally. HI think the school has a good quality of education because it's competitive, said Barbara Elethorp. The IHS family wished the 1982 seniors the ability to make another society as proud of them as they made ours, regardless of where they eventually wound up after graduation, or what they were doing in the future.

Realizing that this was their last year in high school, many seniors took advantage of the activities offered to them. r i r f r an kg, Ks n. s s, - . Wg ' It t I Kevin Kopf Seniors 253 By Leslie White ust think how great high school would be if students were paid to attend. But, alas, there is no such animal to be found in high school, nor is there ever likely to be one, However, in college there is a variation of the animal, falling into the category of scholarships. Not unlike in any other year, the end of the 1981-82 school term brought with it a number of scholarships, primarily academ- ic ones, given to well-deserving seniors for scholastic reasons, as well as for involvement and achievements in school activities. Involved extensively in the areas of art and English, senior Tammy Martin was the recipient of a number of prestigious scholarships, including the Chancellorls Scholarship to Texas Christian University, the Lechner Fellowship to Texas A 8: M, the Morgan Scholarship for Scholar hip English majors to Texas A Sz M, the Board of Governor's Merit Award to Rice, a scholarship to Baylor on the basis of her PSAT scores, the Texas Area Artists First Place Scholarship, and the George Peabody Honor Scholar- ship to Vanderbilt University. Realizing that her time spent in high school has had a great influence on her life, Tammy attributes her interest in teaching to her instructors at IHS and their special techniques. One thing that affected my decision was that my mother is a English teacher, but I really made my decision to teach my sophomore year in Ms. lJocelynD Joshua's English class. In there, I fell in love with literature, Tammy said. Offered scholarships from colleges and organizations such as Austin College, the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, Branch Moody planned to attend Austin College with a 310,000 academic scholarship, coupled with an additional S200 from the college because of his position as valedictorian of the Senior Class. Branch said, I plan to major in pre-law and maybe pre-med. I'm interested in both fields because I know people from both Career areas. Both would require skills that I already have a knowledge of. Another academically- oriented senior, Joel Ross received a 82,500 scholarship from the University of Dallas. Planning to major in bio- chemistry, Joel attributed his background in English and literature as a reason for gaining the scholarship. 'LI applied for the scholarship and went for an interview to get it. It helped me to decide on what college I would attend, besides the fact that UD's a good school for bio-chemistry and it looks like it has a promising future, Joel said. Accepting a scholarship to the University of Oklahoma for personal reasons, a's well financial, senior Diann S received the Presiden Leadership Scholarship to college. t'My reasons for going more personal than acaden Both my parents and gra parents went there and h' instilled a feeling for the schoo me since I was a child. I happy to get a scholarship fr them because I intended to there all along, she said. The recipient of an acader scholarship to Texas T University, Shelly Willia informed the college that she interested in receiving scholarship although she did directly apply for the one she awarded. Shelly said, I wanted to gc Texas Tech because they hav growing engineering dep ment. It's newer, so itls growi at the same rate that there i. need for science and engineeri majors.

Some seniors, however, had already begun college life, while still in high school. - To keep receiving Social Security benefits, seniors living with only one parent were required to have at least 12 college hours by the end of their senior year. In order to accommodate the Reagan administration and make sure no financial aid was lost, several seniors were forced to enroll at North Lake, while simultaneously finishing required high school graduation credits. One of the main sources ofincome for my college education is Social Security, said Tom Manskey. I can't afford to loseit. So to keep from losing it all, students receiving Social Security that wanted to keep on receivingit went to local colleges and started living Within a rather thin time schedule. Students at North Lake left IHS after second period. They then either went to work or home or school. Taking courses at night made social life difficult and for high school students trying to be involved in school activities, impossible. - For Suzette Price, taking college courses meant losing any chances for an art scholarship. Suzette was forced to drop her high school art course and, although she took two art courses at North Lake, she no longer qualified for art scholarships to colleges. I wasn't really involved, Suzette said, so missing half a day didn't really matter. Since I've lost my scholarship chances, now my main concern is my time. I,m going to school 27 hours a week. That leaves two to three hours a day for homework and housework. , With little time and a lot of work, students juggling high school and college at the same time had a rough second semester. Brent Holladay, another senior attending North Lake, preferred high school to North Lake and sincerely missed the half a day of high school he was forced to give up. I'd rather go to high school, sure, Brent said. College is different, but I've got to go to keep the money coming in. Next year I plan on starting at Texas A 8a M and there's no way I can risk losing my Social Securityf, Mike Mm-1,4-an ? R 'ip - ' Qggiv , 7 f 'Sir M '- .. . , 'ei . N 3. .

The class officers got together for weekly meetings during sign-making parties to discuss the most satisfactory method of raising funds for the Senior Class. It was real convenient to have some of our meetings during the sign- making parties since we were all there together anyway. We were all pretty busy so having the meetings weekly like that was just greatf, said reporter Tam mie Edwards. The first and most successful fund-raiser was the selling of magazine subscriptions which netted the class approximately S2,400. The subscriptions went real well surprisingly. To motivate the seniors to sell them we gave away Irving Tiger cups, candy bars, and stuffed animals and such for however many subscriptions they made. If anyone sold eight subscriptions their cap and gown was paid forf' said Pat Collini, vice-president. Next on the list of activities was the annual senior pancake breakfast held during the late fall. Students, teachers, and parents were all invited to attend. The pancake breakfast is always neat to have because it is real different and no other class thinks of doing it, stated treasurer Robin Cassingham. As an additional money-maker, the annual car wash this year included all three high schools of Irving and the school to attain the most money won a S100 prize. t'There was a pretty good turnout but unfortunately, we didn't win the prizef, said secretary-treasurer Terri Setser.

Morgan-Northup Seniors 259 After four 0 drploma By Phil Freeman he situation was almost embarrassing. It . was a predicament that only a handful of seniors found themselves in, but for those accepting the consequences, it was an end-of-the year necessity. After at least 12 years school, some seniors were not allowed to walk across the stage at Texas night when the rest of graduation diplomas. But some seniors' walk across the stage was more delayed than others'. Some students were able to earn their final credits in summer school. After having conflicts with his English teacher during his freshman year, one senior stated, 'tMy choice is this: either go to summer school or go to school for another year. I'll have more credits than I need to graduate, but Pm lacking one year of English. Every summer making up that extra year in English was easier to put off. It came down to having to go to summer school after I would have graduated. I wish now I would have gone one of those summers because there weren't as many distractionsf' But those whose negligence led them back into the doors of IHS for another term decided to face the future school year with more determination than that of the past. I wish I was graduating this year, butit really of learning in high Stadium. It was the the class received 260 Seniors doesn't bother me, said Pam Berryman, who admitted to her wanting to have fun at the beginning of the year. It might bother me when school starts. I was looking forward to graduation until the middle of the year, but I realized I wasn't going to graduate. I'll probably be upset on graduation night, but itts my own fault. As a dim light in an otherwise upcoming grey year, looking forward to taking classes that she did not have time for in her underclassman schedule was an added incentive for Pam. Senior Mike Grabeel also stated that he wanted to take a few courses that I didn't have time to take before. With a high-paying job planned for summer, Mike said he would be looking forward to seeing his friends for the new school year while the majority of his class would not see each other again. I want to be a professional drummer and the extra year will give me an advantagej, he said. As long as I do walk across the stage, it doesn't matter whenf' Another senior agreed on the unsentimentality that receiving a diploma in front of thousands of people brought. She said, I don't much care for fthe idea ofj going across the stage anyway to get my diploma. It's something I never placed much importance on to think highly of myself. sp Q if?SQQfSfi?i. si g , ff-, fx, g . A H , . rs lg .i .

The other side of the fence By Phil Freeman - hile many seniors looked forward to the benefits of attending senior activities, part of the class stayed as far away from being connected to the prom or any other school-related activity as possible. The expectations of most seniors were paired with a minority of those who primarily did not feel socially obligated to attend either the prom or any other activity provided for the members of the class of 1982. Some seniors looked forward to strolling the senior walk to ensure their being announced at the senior prom. Others who did not attend the prom, were not announced and some did not care. Not thinking of the prom as a celebration of a four-year achievement, many seniors boycotted every aspect of the prom due to either no date, no money, no interest, or a combination of these reasons. I thrive on rejection. Nothing's important to me. Besides that, it costs too much, said senior Joel Ross, who sponsored the annual Marfan's Oriental Feast. Agreeing on the pain in the wallet that the prom caused, David Petranek, a senior, said, I have a girl, but there's not enough time ffor mel to do it right. And if I'm going to do a prom, I want to do it right? But all too often when the guys thought of the prom, they did not think of some of the girls in the school. It seemed that the most popular reason for the girls' not attending the prom, in contrast to their not supporting other activities, was simply the fact that no one asked them to go. One such senior girl without a date mentioned, It's not that big of a deal for me to go. It's never been one of my goals to go to the prom. I'm going to have to work anyway. It's not a disappoint- ment for me at all. The most deeply-felt reason for not attending school activities for the seniors hinged on dutyg many seniors rejected the whole idea behind the purpose of such activities. Setting his personal priorities in perspective, a senior, Jon Vaughn said, t'It isn't worth it. I just go to this school. That's all of my obligation. He continued, I didn't go to the senior breakfast or any of the other senior activities. I donit consider any of those activities to be important to get what I want to get out of school. .While most seniors favored at least some ofthe activities, others still felt slight discontentment with some aspects of supporting what was planned for them. I make it to all of the senior activities that I can. They are social obligations, but they're not that bad, said one senior.

Scott Baxter Senior Karen Yance received ift The pot of gold at the end of By Chris Sekin ith the ever-increasing economic downfall and general lack of money in the pocketbooks of many, graduation should have been giftless for some. But not for too many. In fact, several graduates received quite expensive gifts from parents and friends. It has four wheels, a front and a back, and a long steering column. It also has a price tag unreachable to most, but digestable to those in the upper- upper middle class. One recipient of the object known as a Hear was Karen Yancey. Karen was blessed with a 1982 Camaro. Said Karen, It drives real good and gets a lot of attention. The car, which was bought by her father one day after the test drive, is dark blue with a light and dark blue interior. Sands, surf, and soft palm tree music were the planned atmosphere for Leslie Richard- son, who hoped for a trip with 12 classmates to South Padre Island. 'iWe really just wanted to get away for a while as soon as we couldf' said Leslie. In addition to the Texas trip, Leslie also planned an excursion to sunny Hawaii. So far, the graduation gifts have been rather common, to say the least, but Jennifer Near, already possessing a stylish car, desired a gift unique enough to last forever. Her idea of the perfect gift was a set of slalom competition water skiis, a vest, gloves, and a case to put the skiis in. I already have a car and I get a thrill out of Water skiing in the the rainbow summerf' said Jennifer. All she needed now was a lake which she planned to receive as a college graduation present. The Louvre in Paris, the romantic canal-bound streets of Venice, and the Black Forests of Germany. All of this was passed up by Tammie Edwards. The catch? Tammie was given the option of either taking a lengthy trip to Europe or buying the amount of clothing equal in price to what the trip would have cost. Nowadays, though, that might not be too many clothes. Said Tammie, HI chose' the clothes mainly because I love the new styles that are out and Europe will always be there for me. It's too bad she couldnit have both choices. Rumor had it that Europe had some pretty snazzy threads to offer. And last, but surely not least, came the evergreen category of hard, cold cash. It may have been simple, it may have been common, but several students strived to attain some of it by working their way through high school and its value was clear. t'My parents gave me some money because they realized that I need it, said Kelly Smith. Some wanted money but got it in a roundabout way. Said Tammy Fetch, I wanted money, but when my dad called and asked me for my ring size I kinda' got the idea that I was going to get a ringf' The verdict was in and seniors were found guilty of receiving expensive, useful gifts just for making it through 12 easy years of school. The nerve of them. Y a brand new 1982 Camaro as a graduation gift from her parents. Expensive gifts were as commonplace to seniors a non-expensive ones. Nm-Q -,-XE. ,vi .

The question was: why were some seniors planning to go to colleges out of state when there were so many colleges to choose from right here in Texas? For most students, the attending of an out-of-state college usually tied in to the parents or another relative's being an alumni of that school. t'It has been a kind of tradition in my family to go to the University of Oklahoma. That is where my parents and grandparents went to collegef' said senior Diann Smith. 'LI applied for and got the President's Leadership Scholarship to Oklahoma. They have a good business department up there so I will be majoring in marketing. Diann continued, I have grown up cheering for Oklahoma during the Texas-OU games all my life. Now I will be cheering as a student there. Other students were attracted to an out-of-state school because it tied in with their religious beliefs. Such was the case with Jennifer Brannock. I will be going to Brigham Young University in Utah, said Jennifer. I will probably go to North Lake Community College this fall in order to get all of my basics out of the way before I go up there next spring. It is really a nice place. I visited the campus over spring break this year. My parents went there and I have relatives who live up there so it won't be like I am going to be all alone up there. Furthering education was very important to most seniors and the colleges they chose were based on their offering the special curriculum they needed. If Texas colleges did not offer these particular subjects, students looked in other states for the education they were searching for and needed to fulfill their life's work and ambitions.

Styles that were worn by students were often enhanced by a hair style that worked the best with that particular fashion. The metallic look, the romantic look, and the preppie look were just a few of the many styles that were prevalent this year. Along with these looks, many students wore their hair, accordingly. 'Hair ornaments were also very popular this past year. Girls wore headbands, ribbons, combs, and barrettes to add an extra touch to their regular hair styles. Some girls strung metallic threads through their French-braids to accent their t'eccentric tastes. V t'Because my hair is so long and heavy, I like to wear it up. I try to do a lot of different things to my hair, since I do .,,,r,, . l .. 7 -.. fl I' ,N f. AK t 4 .L ,, M. wear it up so much. Almost everything that I see in magazines, I try on my hair, saidjunior Kristi Davenport. Many boys changed their hair styles, as well. Some permed their hair, and some had it layed to look punk or different. I got my hair style changed because I wanted to try something new. It's called a bi-level hair cut, or layered, and I get it cut on top every week to keep it short. I like this particular hair style because it's different than what everyone was wearing, junior Chris Bowles said. Styles did change yearly, and students changed right along with them. Being in vogue was very important to some students and hair was just something that changed to reflect the clothing styles. Calvillo-Chavez Underclassmen 273 Putti a student -- .Fl is is A l During his lunch period, junior Andy Vincent pur- chases his lunch from a cafeteria worker. Although Andy feels the cost ofthe lunch is too high for the type of food offered, he regularly buys his lunch at school. 274 Underclassmen school By Chris Sekin ne generation after another, the teenage society has had to suffer through a never-ending financial trap in which only the fittest survive. The high school youth, including the average IHS student, has had and will continue to encounter, the increasing prices of academic activities and social entertainment. Among the several pocketbook- squeezers that faced students, weekend enjoyment was deemed the most costly. When I go out on weekends with some of my girlfriends, we usually end up spending about S25 on gas alone, but the price of seeing a movie is even more outrageous, said sophomore Trenda Jones. In the past, Irving has offered only a few diversions of entertainment such as Sonic, Taco Inn, Jack in the Box, and Pizza Inn. Although these restaurants may not have presented expensive atmospheres, IHS students discovered that cruising from one hot spot to another drank costly fuel and resulted in hundreds of Cokes that could swallow a single week's worth of part-time pay in two or three short hours. 'tOf the average S30 I spend on a date, about S15 of that money goes just on buying a tank ofgas, stated Chuck King, a junior. ' In all, those people claiming fun and games to be the real bill scrapersn concluded that Texas tea or gasoline was the primary money dwindler. Although fuel was a major terror in itself, most students had to possess a moving motor vehicle in which to pour the precious liquid. As usual in a high school setting, bad cars and trucks were a dreamful necessity. Automobile prices continued to reach the sky's limit and students continued to beg their parents for cars that at least had four wheels. I don't care if the car looks like trash, needs a new paint job, a new transmission, and a new FM radio, at least it runs, claimed the deprived child pleading with his father for a loan. . Parking at IHS turned out to be more expensive than one might have expected over the span of a year. Many students purchased parking stickers every six weeks which totaled around 330. I think a quarter a car to park in a public school parking lot which does not have enough parking spaces is ridiculous. Where are the improvements that were promised so often? said senior Suzette Price. My parents pay good taxes and I didn't see a reason for charging so much for nothing. They didn't even keep up the grounds well, said junior Jennifer Near. Another favorite pastime of IHS students seemed to be eating. At 31.10 per lunch, most eaters spent about 33200 on school lunches for the duration of the year. Some students could not afford to eat every day, especially if they frequented the snack bars. I feel that 51.10 a lunch is way too much for food that was served. It's probably worth about 75G, said junior Andy Vincent. Inflation definitely dropped on the shoulders of students and caused many to worry about getting a job for their needs. I feel that I need some extra money to cover my daily expenses, to help me pay for gas, and for my band equipment, said sophomore Brian Davis. A number of students were concerned with the simple cost ofliving. 'tAside from buying gas weekly, I buy odds and ends from the school store and Ialso buy my own clothes, saidjunior Silvia Simmons. Not many young adults could keep up with inflation, but the ones who did, must have been well off with money, said Scott McGahee. All things considered, the involved students were affronted with the same or similar economic problems that their parents faced. The costs of entertainment, gasoline, and school life all amounted to a sum of money that usually only a working person could have afforded. I I N if 4,1 I ff r n , W ii Wig: .

Almost everyone had to babysit at one time or another. Although most babysitters began in junior high, some continued their part time jobs into high school. Some students babysat to help out their parents or relatives. I babysat my little cousins to help out my aunt and to make some extra spending money, said freshman Vickie Parrish. However, some sat to make home life easier. I babysit for my parents because they expect me to help out around the housef' said sophomore Tiffinee Fong. Others watched .children because of their love for children...and their love for money. I just babysat for the fun of it and because I needed the money, said sophomore Mindy Feller. t'I'm doing volunteer work and I have a special interestin working with little children, said sophomore Diane Bush. 1'I'm interested in the way they. respond to different situations such as needing, affection, caring, and their environ- ment. Many students felt that babysitting gave them experience with children that they would need when they became parents. HI babysat because Ilove kids and when I grow up to be a mother I'll know more about taking care of childrenf' said junior Connie Free. Another junior, Mauri Meador said, By babysitting, one can learn so many valuable talents which will be to a great advantage when and if one becomes a parent. With babysitting being such a common and valuable opportunity to learn about parenthood, and such an available form for extra money, many students took advantage of the part timejob while they possibly also remembered their own childhoods, and their teenage babysitters.

Although this feeling displayed cliched qualities, Texas citizens, especially locally famous Irvng residents, have had to face the cold truth: the Metroplex and many other lone star state cities held the highest f divorce rate of any other US cities and the -- amount of separations continued to grow. An overwhelming number of students were subjected to parental splits in the 1981- 82 school year, but the number of divorces I occurring in teenagers' earlier years formed an entirely larger percentage. Whatever the case may have been, divorce proved to be an easy task which put an interminable mask o'n taking someone's hand in marriage. When asked about their roles in the separation of society, IHS victims of divorced parents seemed to have faced the same or similar problems. Most students of divorced parents stated that the divorce had happened earlier in their lives and the pain had disappeared for the most part. Guilt entered the minds of many who felt that their well- being and financial support may have caused their parents decisions. When I heard the news of my parents' divorce, I really did not know just how to react to it. Sure I cried for a long time, but after seeing how strong my mother was, I decided that I must become more confident, too. During their marriage, I could almost sense their disagreement because they were always quarreling about money problems, said senior Kristy Moore. The end result of most divorces changed the lives, personalities, and futures of a number ofinvolved students. Senior Greg Watson said, I was extremely surprised when my parents announced the news. I reacted with a fantastic amount of emotion. I cried a few nights and I became very depressed. My parents were married over 25 years. You can imagine the shock when I found out that the third person involved was a close friend of the family. The divorce caused me to come very close with my mother and it also caused me to - find the Christian way of lifef' Now that I look back, when my parents were married, I never really got to know my father, but now that they are divorced and no longerlfighting, I have really become close to my dad, said senior Cindy Vera. Although the perspective of divorce and all of its complications revealed an apparently common procedure, it was evident that both adults and students started building more solid personal foundations before they decided to wed. Students always had the opportunity to become attached if they chose to, but most claimed that the examples of the divorced adult society affected their views of matrimony.

Music is greatg I couldn't get along without it, said sophomore Debbie Smith. The styles of music available were country-western, easy listening, top-40, rock-n-roll, and last but not least, the recent cult of punk rock, or new wave. Texas, being next door to the big city of Dallas, inspired listeners into tuning in to country-western music. Dallas was dominated by many country-western clubs that did good business because of the extreme popularity of western styles, spurred by the movie, K'Urban Cowboy. I like to listen to country music because it's relaxing and it isn't harsh like rock-n-roll. It's also really popular and a lot of people seem to enjoy it,' said senior Jerri Mitchell. Easy listening was a popular type of music listened to by people who enjoyed tasteful, soft music. One popular album by Rosanne Cash is displayed like many other records to entice the teen buyers into purchasing it.

There are so many different styles of rock. Some of the songs are slow, while others are real fast. I find that some of the most interesting stories are told in rock songs, said junior Cheryl Damron. The Hugh Beaumont experi- ence, the Dead Kennedys, the Go- Go's, Quad-Pi, the Telefones, NCM, and Point of Departure were just a fraction of the many local punk rock and new wave bands. The popularity of this different music progressed to what many thought was its peak in this area. Because of its bizarre costuming, punk rock was not accepted by many students. Slowly this cult made its way into the student body. Many students uadvertisedl' their preference for new wavefpunk rock music to the extent of wearing clothes to school thought ofas being outlandish. Iggy Pop buttons and short punk haircuts for guys were examples seen in the halls every day. New wave music is fascinating. There's nothing quite like it anywhere, and it is starting to show itself in the area. I think that it will be the music of the future, said sophomore Blake Hallmark, At Musicland in Irving Mall, senior Mark Burris looks through the records discovering one type of music,Jazz. ...J In Kevin Kopf g .

When I finally arrive at school, I usually find that it is worth the trouble of having to get up so early in the morningf' said junior Mary Eldridge. Freshman Kraig Parker was interested in other aspects that IHS had to offer. We had a good freshman football team and I had something to look forward to. Also, I had some interesting classes, Kraig said. - U V g Marietta Compton, varsity cheer- leader said, It's the school activities and my friends that make school fun for me. It keeps you busy. There's always something going on to keep you from being bored, senior Kevin Day said. Even teachers found it easy to smile at IHS. L'It's fun to interact with some of the kids.

Without the social aspects of school, it appeared IHS was doomed for disaster. But many students rallied the cause of the importance of an education. Both Marc Schmitz and Mike Mitchell agreed that education was a very important part of IHS. Junior Bobbie Jo Belzung said, Education builds a future, not social activities? Senior Traci Hodgkiss said, In order to accomplish anything in life, you have to have an educationf, Some students felt that IHS prepared them in choosing their careers. I plan on being a photographer and an architect and IHS was a good stepping stone for my career goals, said senior Scott Baxter. Freshman Lisa Kirkpatrick said, HI go to school because my future career will depend on my high school diploma. Because of the many social activities and learning opportunities, students found that high school was a place where many fond and lasting memories were created. 1' fr v iff. . . , eqi.,,i,W-ys:..,4f-auf.

By Pauline Roderick ith the fashion industry at its peak, many students wore clothes according to the popularity of the designers. Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Liz Claiborne, to name a few, were some of the many designer styles worn by clothes-conscious students. Money, as well as a little imagination, was needed in selecting these costly garments. Some students felt that designer clothing was made better and lasted considerably longer than did the clothing made by the regular brand names. I really feel that designer clothes are made better and I like that because they will last a long time. I also wear them becausel like to be up on the fashions, said senior Jennifer Near. I really donit mind spending the money for the clothes because they are of good quality. I think it's well worth it. They also stay in style for years so youill be in style with the same wardrobefi Jennifer added. Popular clothing outlets in the Dallas-Fort Worth area such as Sanger-Harris, Neiman-Marcus, Sakowitz, and Lord 8: Taylor sold such popular styles as Polo, IZOD, and Gant ta brand name for Evan- Piconeb. Sanger-Harris salesclerk Ms. Laurie Burnett said, UI think these three particular shirts sell the best. People are always buying designer shirts, and designer everything for that matter. Calvin Klein, Sasson, and Jordache Jeans sold the best. The fashion industries- really do make a lot of money on designer clothes. In this day and age, people just really have pride in the way they dress, she added. Although the quality of these clothes was not questionable, there were many students who didnit care about the quality or status of the clothes they wo Fe. , I think designer clothes are stupid. Everybody is trying to out- dress someone else, thatis all it amounts t0,', said senior Cam Worrall. Whatever the case and however students felt about them, designer clothes just bas Rosie Qimino Because dressing stylishly is important to her, senior Jennifer Near chooses to invest in designer clothes reasoning that the price insures high quality. Here, she models knickers and a fashionable blouse. In keeping with winter fashion, senior Jim Sullivan models a popular IZOD sweater. This particular line of clothing by Lacoste was a favorite among preppie students. In-l Umlorrlassnun Mike McLean Punk rock attire offered an alternative to the designer and preppie looks.

True-to-life soapy addicts watched them daily during the year. There was not a stereotype for these soap opera addicts. Viewers ranged from young children to older grandmothers, with a large number of addicts still in high school. Soaps ran from thirty minutes to an hour-and-a-half in length. Story lines ranged from melodramatic to plot-less, from Luke and Laura and the Ice , Princess 1on General Hospital 1, to Morgan and Kelly on Guiding Light, who learned their true feelingsn for one another. p Afternoon dramasv were filled with adultery, violence, lying, and stealing, and were a definite part of teenagers' summers. Junior Fran Baas said, 'f'The Young and the Restless' is my favorite soap because it,s filled with sex, and cute guys. For example, Snapper Foster, is my favorite character. He's a doctor. She added, Soap operas are melodramatic and stupid. I can fantasize about them. I can relate to the characters on 'Young and Restless' because they're young. h The male factor wasn't immune to soaps, either. Senior Terry Stubblefield said, 'General Hospital' is my favorite, but I also watch 'All My Children, because they have lots of good-looking girls. I like 'General Hospital' best, though, because they go out and party at the disco. Dr. Rick 1Springfield1 is on there,', he added. I worked Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday during the summer though, but I watched soaps when I couldf' The more addicted soapers found them more difficult to miss. During the summer I planned my day around soap operas. I watched 'The Young and the Restlessf 'All My Children,' 'One Life to Live,' 'General Hospitalf and 'Ryan's Hope,',' said sophomore Sharon Robertson. 'Tve been watching 'One Life to Livei for I6 years. My parents have watched it since I was born and naturally I got hooked on it, she added. Soap operas had existed for over 30 years, They began as radio shows with a cast of actors. Most of their paid advertisments sold soaps--liquid detergent, and bar brands. The name 'soap opera, derived from this and continued into daytime soaps when television was invented. Religious groups found' some daytime and night-time soaps, such as Dallas,v t'Flamingo Road, and Knots Landing to be offensive and distasteful. They made a play on the name and stated that soap operas needed soap to clean them up. Whatever the verdict, many high school students continued to watch soaps during the summer. Characters fell in love as thousands of teens tuned in to 'another world.' ' I A 4 Wi S 'l vi? ' 'L ik' S i w?

By Dana Johnson uring the high school years, long-term relation- ships proved to be both popular and disappointing. K The long-term relationship was questionable among teachers, as well as students, and presented both positive and negative aspects. Senior Kim Hales said, Long-term relationships are unhealthyg kids these days canit handle them. I think that our future depends on what we make of our high school life, she added. On the other hand, there were also students who felt that long- term relationships were good. Sophomore Kim Sheffield said, High school relationships are good if you know how to handle them. If a relationship gets serious too fast, someone is likely to get hurt.', Along with student views, there were also varying opinions from the older, more experienced, generation. Mr. Will James,band director commented, Long-term relationships can be good or bad. I think that it depends on the people and how well they can handle their emotions? While long-term relationships presented different problems for everyone, students found that breaking up was a major problem. Breaking up is hard for everyone involved, the memories are especially hard to live withf' said freshman David Dawson. Other students felt that breaking up was for the best in a lot of cases. Sophomore Bambi Blackburn said, If the relationship isn't working out, then breaking up is the best thing to do. It saves a lot of hurt in the long runf' In most cases, students found that if they did confine themselves to a long-term relationship during high school, honesty and friendship were the best policies by which to abide. If a relationship isn't honest, then it will present problems and wonlt last, said senior Bryan Bodiford. While the pros and cons of long-term relationships were numeous and often hard to put into words, the majority of students handled them in the best way they could.

On a certain date students voted for their choices of candidates. There were several compe- titors in each race. The members of the Freshman Class officers were presi- dent, Dina' Johnsong vice- -president, Sandra Love- ladyg secretary, Holli Henderson, treasurer, Julie Arrasg and reporter, Paula Nevil. I like to help decide what to plan for the year, said Sandra Lovelady when asked what her reason for running was. As the freshman grade of the school, the officers and class members tried to be as productive as- possible. Freshman spon- sor Ms. Libby Swindle said, They wanted to do much more than they could. They were very eager, coopera- tive, and energetic. Although some officers were active in junior high positions, they found high school to be a little bit more of a challenge. Consider- ing that this is their first time as officers for high school, they are doing a fine job and we ought to give them credit, said Darryl Huffman. Sophomores elected as officers were: Jeff Stewart, president, Eric Schmitz, vice-president, Diane Bush, secretary, Eric Faust, treasurer, and Cindy Vaughn, reporter. 'fIt's fun being an officer because you get to work with sponsors and see what you can get accomplished, said Eric Faust. Sophomore officers mentioned the help provided by the sponsors 290 Underclassmen that were there to help out. They are doing a fine job and they are so organized and are always there. During homecoming they were very active and during the pep rallies they came up with some good ideas,', said Kim Jarrard, sophomore. The officers demon- strated spirit and pride for their class by .organizing and being present at every event such as pep rallies and sign-making parties. LeAnn Richardson said, Everything seems to be well-planned. I think they are showing good spirit. Representing the Junior Class were president, Glenn Sullivan, vice-president, Frances Santoscoyg secre- tary, Marietta Compton, treasurer, Leslie Baughg and reporter, Wendy Oxford. Vice-president Frances Santoscoy related her job responsibilities. I super- vised sign-making parties and decorations for homecoming. It really gives you a good feeling working with fellow students. They all agreed that it gave them a certain patriotic feeling towards IHS to meet in the evenings for sign-making parties. Wendy Oxford said, I enjoy working with other class officers and it is fun planning activities. A major factorin being a class officer was instilling pride and being competitive with the other classes, as far as spirit was concerned, The more they advertised themselves, the more recognition they received. Being a part of the IHS class officers was hard work, although the student officers said they enjoyed the fellowship and accom- plishments the offices provided. lx' Q9 ' .

' ' ' to catch a after hitting the books By Pauline Roderick howing interest in teams was a popular and common dedication among many students this year. Such things as wearing T-shirts, watching a favorite team on television, or going to see them play in person, and collecting various mementoes were proof of means of support by the dedicated sports fans. Senior'Bill Norman, who followed the Steelers said, 'Tm a big Pittsburgh Steelers fan. I like the team because they've won four Super Bowls and they're a physical football team instead of trying to be tbig brains.' They use their muscles and that helps them out more on the field than brains. That ' kind of team is very successful and it's paid off for the Steelers because they've got a great football team. Also, Phil Lambert is my hero. I collect only a few things such as T-shirts and stickers, but I would like to start collecting more things. I go see them play the Cowboys every time they're in town. I know I'm a traitor, but Ireally like the Cowboys a lot, too, he added. In addition to collecting mementoes of the pro teams, some fans also traveled many miles to watch the college teams play. Junior Laura Bearrie said, This Thanksgiving my familyand I went to College Station to watch the Texas A Sz M Aggies. I like the Aggies because they have so much tradition. Their spirit of unity is great! They're real dedicated to their school and their country. ' A deep family tradition in the school was Laura's reason for following the Aggies. The reason my family is a big fan of the Aggies is because my dad graduated from A Sz M, and we're real dedicated to the team., We were real disappointed that they had to lose against Texas when we went out there to see them play. I would like to attend A 8: M and continue my loyalty towards the Aggies, Laura said. Many hobbies kept students occupied when they had extra time away from their studies. Supporting teams was just one of the hobbies that pre-occupied many students.

Th participants' IQs had to be below a certai point which qualified them as mentall retarded. But sometimes blindness 6 cerebral palsy were main factors in their disabilities. To allow for different levels of skill, the participants compete against others of the same abilities and ages. No more than eigh individuals compete at the same time with first, second, and third places awarded out o the eight competing individuals. All others receive participant- awards. The bowling meet was held Oct. 24 at Don Carterls Bowling Lanes in Dallas. Th winners in the individual bowlin competition .from Ms. Linda Sanders' pre vocational class were: Lee Pat Patterson and Jogi Edick, first placesg Jeanette Tubbs, second place, Don Holt, Gilbert Riley, Joanne Robinson, and Dawn Summers, third placesg and Johnice Northcutt and Michael Stephens. fourthlplace awards.

The mentally handicapped students spent the entire school day in one classroom. Their rooms were at the end of A hall and at the end of upstairs B hall, somewhat significant of their placement in society. Sometimes I feel left out. They 1other students1 don't talk to me much, said sophomore Dawn Summers. Before I came 1to IHS1 people would talk about me. Someone was always talking. Some people make fun and it's sad. Whether purposefully or not, they were almost kept away from the rest ofthe student gbody. Ms. Sanders said, They may be luckier than the rest of us because they don't have to worry about everything that we dof' No finishing time was too slow in the Special. Olympics. No records were broken except those for courage, determination, and sportsmanship. My philosophy is that if these students work to their maximum potential--whatever it may be individually-- that's what I consider success, added Ms. Sanders. We work with self-concept and feelings. Maybe theylre not really retarded. Maybe society's expectation is too high. We ,A ,Q , 1 - ,11 . ,1 ,Egg , 1 1- :r 1 ,t ' 1 . wwe . -, 1 .V 1 .1 W, -.1 1 .jack , g 1 ,EL 'V . A mruwtfrw.

Gaining work experience during high school years By Dana Johnson hroughout the year as prices rose and the value of the dollar' decreased, several students found it necessary to secure part-time jobs. The majority of jobs ranged from fast food establishments to small offices, and usually paid minimum wage. Fast food jobs proved to be the most popular choices for students seeking extra income. HWorking in a fast food restaurant can really get hectic, but you can choose the number of hours you prefer which comes in handy, said sophomore Sonny Martinez. Department and grocery stores were also widely known employment choices, along with specialty shops. Senior Mary Brown explained, 1'Working at Hancock's Fabrics gives me a chance to work with people. Since I only work 12 to 13 hours a week, working doesn't interfere with schoolf' In another sense, some students linked their jobs with career goals in order to gain experience. Senior Jennifer Albright worked as an attendant in the credit and loans department of Texas Commerce Bank. This type of career benefits a person in several waysg it has been a great job for me to gain experience for my career and also in school. ' -. ' jf . I While some people could handle the pressures of-school and a job, there were also those who were forced to quit when their school schedules became overloaded. Senior Cam Worrall worked at a shoe store during the 'summer vacation to raise money for his senior year. When school started for the fall, Cam was forced to quit due to lack of time. I liked workingg the extra money is coming in real handy with all my senior expenses such as prom and graduation. I guess the real reason I decided to quit work was to give me more time to concentrate on my grades, and dedicating more time to the Singer Company and A Cappella Choir. Even though the reasons for working varied, the majority of part time job holders agreed that it was an experience they were not likely to forget. it 1 - 1 -1 - Eric Robinson 191 W 1 i ' in 5 1 A . ff: is 1 Joanne Robinson 1101 1' C, s 1 , I 6 . -K , Lisa Robinson 1111 5 ,I - 5 t h wr' , ,NX A I' 4: Lynn Robinson 1101 L Wa, ' 1 ' '- Q..

Cat Bedroom By Evelyn Boyd student's bedroom naturally reflected his own personality through tastes, likes, and dislikes. An organized person usually had a neat and tidy room. Ican't stand it if my room is all messy. I am a very neat person and not only do I keep my room neat, said freshman Katie Ba- ker, but all of my things are neat. That's just the way I am. Many students found it hard to find time to straighten up their rooms, much less actually clean them. I usually clean my bedroom up during the weekend because I study a lot during the week. The slums is what I have to contend with, declared junior Fran Baas. Many students collected certain items that they felt reflected the many different sides of their personalities. My room reflects my personality with the things I love. I love bears, so I have tons of bears all over my room such as stuffed, glass, and wooden. I also have a taste for old-fashioned things like a printer's tray, school desks, a ruffled bedspread, and an antique lamp, stated Jaime Hubbard, a sophomore. Spending many hours in their rooms, many students arranged them to their personal needs and to their desires. If you're gonna spend so much time in it and since it's your own personal domain, you might as well fix it how you like to match your likes and preferences and all,', said junior Julie Higgins. Having an excessive interest in movie stars, many students collected posters, sheet music, stills, or lobby cards and decorated their rooms with them. Junior Cyndi Bran- don collected memora- bilia depicting Clark Gable, Charlie Chap- lain, Humphrey Bo- gart, James Dean, Liz Taylor, and Shirley Temple 1to name a few3. My sister got me interested in old stars. The first old movie I saw was Gone With the Wind, said Cyndi. Since then Iyve loved Clark Gable. I collected all sorts of posters, and I just recently arranged them all on one wall. I have lotsa chrome and glass 1a glass top table for example3, said Phil Archer, a freshman, and I like my room and think it matches my personality because it is the way I like it and I usually like things to be my way if I can manage it. My room is quite dark and being a guy, I think that fits pretty well. Staying with the more traditional female's room, senior Lynn Valerius decorated her room in yellow and pink. I have a vanity and a canopy bed. I like old-fashioned things and you could say that my bedroom is a classic girl's room, she said. I think that it coincides with my personality because I like cute ,things and girlie things.

' matters but the kend comm ' into the night after Fridays 3:30 bell By Chris Sekin any innocent by- standers experienced A unbearable and trying times of humiliation while trying to discover new pathways to enjoyment for those three interminable days known as weekends. Although the above statement might have been true for the majority, a certain category of educatees, including those participating in debate and journalism, were repeatedly expected to appear at end-of-the-week events relating to their respectful diversions. Unlike the majority of five-day scholars, Friday through Sunday did not always provide a tranquil rest from everyday studies or a chance to view classmates again. Making a movie to present to the student body, junior Tad Deupree, junior Missy Fazekas, and senior Kevin Kopf take directions while filming Raiders of the Lost Lair. - - One such establishment claiming school labor overtime as its motive and method of learning was debate. Research persisted in being the main concept of debating in competition and research was exactly what occurred on several far-ends of seven-day work weeks. Debate tournaments occurred an average two out of three weekends and participants mentioned staying up late on Friday and Saturday nights in preparation for next day meets. I love to go to tournaments on the weekends, and ifI don't go for some strange reason,,I usually suffer from with- drawal symptoms. I supposie the main reason why I don't - mind spending time on weekends for debate is because it prepares one for law, and politics, said senior Mike Rees. - Although debate proved to be a relevant time consumer, journalism students, inclu- ding the Lair and Tiger Rag staffs, took part in numerous weekend seminars which aided in their understanding of their studies. Sometimes we work on weekends, more often than not, but dedication is an understood element for those students entering publications of some sort, said Lair editor Leslie White. Tiger Rag editor Phil Freeman said, We must spend our weekends recover- ing from work that we have done during the week. In spite of the fact that weekend courses did invade spare time of writers, a great number truly enjoyed the chance to be with friends again and to actually gain something that could help them in a future career in that ifield. I Preparing for N a weekend debate tournament, junior Mike Rees and senior Mark Dyer spend hours at home, as well as at school, to research their mary topics that they must cover. , 5 i Smith-Souther Underclassmen 303 N.: X- 2' Tim Spears 1113 John Speed 1113 L Brian Speelman 1-33 Darrin Speer 1113 Tonya Spencer 193 Jane Spooner 11133 Chris Sprague 1113 Bill Sprinkle 193 Dean Spurrier 193 Patty Squire 193 Dean St. Amnnd 193 Adele Stacey 1113 Steve Staggs 1113 Greg Stanfield 1113 Mary Stanley 1113 Michael Starr 1113 Mellisa Stein 11133 Kellv Jean Stephens 193 Lee-Anne Stephens 11133 Michael Stephens 193 Judie Stevens 193 Paul Stevenson 193 Jeff Stewart 11133 .mmm Stewart 1113 Tod Stewart 193 John Stieg 193 Katerine Stieg 1113 Christi Stigall 193 .304 Underelassmen Spears-Stigall be 1 1 R .W 2 '14 I 5 f 6 5 ! if 3, ..

Most of them dealt with school-related interests such as debate, football, track, basketball, journalism, or cheerleading. However, some students' Bible reading was transferred, temporarily, to the textbooks. Just as there were cliques in other activities, each church seemed to have its own group with which to associate. The friends at church remained friends at school, as well. Many of these church and school friends were involved in the same activities and organizations at school, too. One such school organization, of course, was the Sonshine Club. The members of the Sonshine Club met every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7:50 a.m. They met for Bible study every other Thursday at a member's house: Although Plymouth Park Baptist Church 1PPBC1 had a strong grip on a major number of the teenagers at IHS, other congregations and denominations also attracted high school youth. Some of the other youth groups were known as EYC, UMY, CYO, and YMC. Many of the students active in church were raised with a religious background. Senior Nancy Fletcher, a member at PPBC, said, HI was raised in a Christian home, and I'm motivated to go to church because I'm a Christian. It's real important to me. It used to be I had to go to church--now I get to. The social aspect was also a major factor in any church, being with friends and feeling no pressures from the outside world which was seemingly oblivious to them, yet knowingly existent. Nancy added, 'Td much rather get advice from someone who is a Christian than someone who doesn't have a strong relationship with the Lord. Still another influence affecting church membership was enrollment in a school run by a church. I went to Catholic school at Holy Family of Nazareth. I went there from kindergarten through eighth grade. That,s how I became involved in CYO, 1Catholic Youth Organization1,', said Mike Muzyka, junior. A As the times changed, it seemed that the church was slowly becoming a larger part ofthe school. Youth throughout the school learned to take a stand on important issues, such as liquor by the drink, early in their lives. However, the backbone of the community was at a standstillg the center of activities revolved around the church for some and school for others. For some, neither offered much excitement.

The dictionary defines a tradition as an inherited pattern or thought. The majority of MacArthur, Nimitz, and Irving high school students found tradition to mea h ' ' n muc more. As a result, tradition could be found almost everywhere students looked. Homecoming proved to b e customary for all three schools. As well as the traditional bonfire, parade, and hall decorations, MacArthur students also sold spirit chains during the week, while Nimitz held the annual talent show known as i'The Admiral's Revuel' after the bonfire on Thursday night. Pep rallies were also condu t d' ' c e in a similar traditional f lshion. All schools began their rally with the alma mater, ind ended with their fight song, and class spirit competition The senior ri f po ce and car washes, we e h t d r os e by various clubs and classes.

As far as tradition goes, there's so many activities to participate in during the year Among the . ng ormed by the graduating class at the final rally also proved popular. Irving senior Lance Van Haasen said, i'You get a real traditional feeling at every pep rally when everything is done in the same manner. Trad't' ' ' ' 1 ion IS what IHS 1S all about i' During the spring, MacArthur and Irving hosted a spring fever week which revolved around various dress-up days and eating contests. While Nimitz didn't participate in the spring festivities, they did host several dress-up days throughout the year. Money makers also r d - ' p ove to be customary. Each year vari u ' o s projects such as pancake breakfasts, chili s HN-i llllCil'l'L'iilSSlllLIl uppers, many are senior skip day, the senior play, senior bike day, the awards assembly, the prom, and graduation exercisesf' said Linda Moore, MacArthur student council president. Along with other senior events, Nimitz students also participated in an assembly where every graduate turned his or her senior ring as he or she walked across the stage. Nimitz seniors also had an annual playing of May God Be With You Until We Meet Again' over the PA system. Even though traditions between the schools seemed concordantg at heart every student felt a little bit differently about his school and its surroundings. ix say, is-.R .

After a lengthy minute of consideration, the concerned big spender concluded to cancel his date or travel to an adjacent hot spot offering more fun. Although Irving seemed to reveal few entertaining choices for the younger couples, it did provide a refreshing selection for those desiring an experience in the arts and literature through North Lake College, the University of Dallas, and Irving Community Theater. North Lake Junior College, located on Walnut Hill Lane, produced three action plays this year that were free to the community. When Ya' Comin' Back Red Rider, Carousel,U by Rodgers and Hammerstein, and a third play that was to be announced on the date of production were presented during the season. The plays took place in November, March, and May and were provided not only for the enjoyment of the public, but as a basis of experience for the drama students at North Lake. The University of Dallas, located on Northgate Drive in Irving, released two major literary works, one in the fall and one in the spring. The two pieces, The Ghost Senata, and She Stoops to Conquer, were also used as a Having fun 1n Irving but getting easier practice field for UD drama students. The Margaret Jonsson Theatre housed the plays which were directed by the faculty and presented for an admission of 852. In addition to the plays, the college had well-known guest speakers who provided workshops that were open to the public, according to a University of Dallas spokesperson. One such speaker, Ms. Marva Collins, a distinguished educator from Chicago, presented her innovative views on education during an October seminar that was jam-packed with many teachers in the audience. She was later profiled in a movie that starred Cicely Tyson in the lead role. UD also offered a series of old movies, The Turkey Knob Talkies named in honor of the nickname of the land the university sits upon, throughout both the fall and spring semesters. The movies were presented on Tuesday nights and included A Clockwork Orange, and several Hitchcock thrillers this year. Irving Community Theater, Irving Arts Association, Irving Community Concerts, Irving Womenls Chorus, and Irving Symphony all provided similar cultural entertainment for citizens, but there wer a few others thatstood away from the crowd. The Senior Citizens Band of Irving traveled around the city showing off their talents as smile- findersfl Composed ofthose citizens over the average age of 60, the band was seen harmonizing at such places as nursing homes, fund- raising events, and at the openings of shopping centers and grocery stores. I believe the band offers a unique change from the conventio- nal form of fun and we all have fun in participating, stated Ms. Pam Fincher, the band's director. I don't take advantage of community entertainment because they are too expensive and they're too far out of the way, said senior Kathy Baxley. Some students felt that the plays and performances were a little too far-out and that the arts corroded their clean, simple minds. We really don't have enough alternatives in Irving and I hate driving all the way to Dallas just to enjoy a night out, said senior Shannon Huddleston. Senior Lynn Valerius attended North Lake's performances frequently. I enjoy attending the theater's plays because they are real entertaining and their quality is good and I enjoy musicals and dramas. I am kind of interested in acting and I feel these plays will help me relate to the arts better, she said. I usually attend the college nights, art exhibits, and plays that are held at the various places. Just recently I saw 'fHello, Dolly!'l said Vickie Woods, senior. To sum up Irving's entertaining offerings to a tee would be almost impossible since the city actually proved to have a number of inviting productions. Although some students felt that Irving could improve on its available entertainment, most came to the agreement that the fine arts in their city was almost unbeatable.

Teachers usually did not get the opportunity to hear such far-fetched excuses. The majority of excuses came from being tardy to class. 'tThe most common excuses I heard were that the students could not open their lockers, or they had to go to the restroom.

My students did not have many excuses, but when they did they limited it to having to stop by the office, or they had to go to their lockers, said Ms. Pittman.

Many organizations chose to sell items outside the cafeteria to raise extra money. Extra By Leslie White y the end of the school year the e vi d e n c e W a s startingly clear---1982 had V been a fresh, original, and exciting year. It was not so identi- fiable by the new projects and activities that were - held, but by each individual who was a part of the whole that made the student body and faculty who were the projects. As the end of the year neared, it became clear that the assertive make discipline policy ced by the school di had served its pur The school district established a set guidelines which a ed students to re what was expecte them and allowed teacher time to 1 Without periodic tractions. This serve improve classr tension and student teacher relations in gradual decrease detentions and beha orial problems thrc out the entire school. As the final absences were mounted up and counted at the end of the year, yve could see that enforcing the attendance policy by respective vice- principals instead of by teachers submitting names to vice-principals after eight absences was still deemed ineffective. Students were still able to abuse the policy by finding a way, legitimate or contrived, to an excused absence, enabl- ing them to take exams even after conferences with vice-principals and letters sent home to parents. out fig' Although the dances decreased in attendance, the quality of the music offered to students didn't.

Scutt Baxter Although the Drama Department did not put on a play for the school, it did put on a one-act for spring UIL competition. Mr. George Morrow and Cyndi Brandon discuss a scene from Antigone. 3 O tot' the Ordinary fter a successful first year, the students in VEH, Vocational Education for the Handicapped, raised enough funds to purchase a stereo. Starting in December, the special education students baked food items like pies, dinner rolls, and Valentineis cakes to raise funds. They also provided meals for the faculty members every other Thursday to assist the students in finding gainful employment in the future, as well as providing students with a chance to enjoy the classroom structure. Although the year held a number of profitable changes, some did not come Without disappointment. To promote attendance at the school-sponsored dances, the student council decided to cut down the number of dances held to increase turnout, reasoning that fewer dances would bring more students. It turned out to not be effective. Ironically, the lack of dances forced students to find other sources of amusement and they did that so Well in fact that attendance dwindled to almost 20 couples per dance. For the first time since the department was in existence, the Drama Department did not put on a play, a drama, or a musical. Because graduation had drastically depleted the ranks of the organiza- tion. Mr. George Morrow, drama sponsor, decided to take a year off to build his department, hoping to return next year with a stronger and more talented group. H .-elf? I , wwf!! ,. L.. games f r-4 ..

Nationwide, politics in the form of Reagan- omics, played a major role in the lives of many students. Federal budget cuts in education, more specifically Social Security benefits that were paid to college students up to the age of 22, forced many students to enroll in college early or face losing all their college Social Security benefits. Approximately 50 students were forced to attend area colleges, primarily North Lake, to continue receiving benefits. The year was affected by the world situation in much more than an economic context. Stu- dents were faced with the growing instability of the environment in which they lived: Braniff going out of business, skyrocketing inflation with no seeming end in sight, college prices increasing, and the threat of war in so many areas, all weighed heavily on students' minds. Seniors were faced with the question of security in the future. The fact that there were no guarantees for graduates hung over their heads. 1982 was also a year for awards and recogni- tion, many more than in an ordinary year. The student council was honored as an out- standing council in Texas and was given one of the top ten ratings in the state for the first time, while the debate squad was invited to participate in the prestigious Harvard University tournament. The A Cappella Choir was the only choir in its region to win a sweep- stakes rating, and was awarded another at the Galveston Choral Con- test. The band, too, brought home a number of first division and sweepstakes ratings from UIL contests. Organizations such as the VICA clubs, the cheerleaders, the Toy Tigers, and the art department brought home a number of prestigious awards, while the journalism department had more success than ever with the newspaper, the Tiger Rag winning best in its 5A division in state competition, the Lair ranking third in its category, and the photography staff winning over 20 awards on its own. There was no way of predicing how 1982 would compare to future years at IHS. However it would always stand on its own for being exactly what it was: an ordinary year made extraordinary by the spirit and involvement of 2,043 out of the ordinary people. All of us.

On the By Phil Freeman wo organizations held honors, a few had active members, some held monthly .meetings. But by the end of the school year, most ofthe clubs held at least one banquet for their fmembers. Deciding on a place for the banquet, setting a night, choosing a time, letting appetites pick the menu and announcing whether the occasion was formal or informal became more in vogue as the year progressed. Christmas, Valentine, and Thanksgiving banquets were of the rare circuit, while spring banquets appeared with the most frequency. All of the officers got togetherf' said Rosie Marcellus of PELE, and decided where to have our banquet. They're Cbanquetsl unusual because everyone has one now. You've got a banquet for this class and you've got a banquet for this class. It gets really expensive after a while. Every club...that has one makes it special. I usually go to them with the attitude of 'Oh, no, another banquet' But by the time the night's over, I found myself thinking of how much I enjoyed myself. It's the time for every club l0Wl1 to have a night on the town together. That's the key word for banquets: togethernessf' Although dates and times for these extravaganzas were obviously going to be different, the restaurant, cafeteria, or fine eating establishment made the occasion even more special, One of the more elite dining selections was made by the members of the choir, who selected the Las Colinas Country Club for their affair. Freshman Tracy Bush said, It was so much fun, a lot better than I thought it would be. He continued, Of course the food was great. That's what everyone wants, but sort of playing dress-up with a lot of your friends that you spend a lot of time with makes it something really special. Tracy also said that he enjoyed the awards ceremony that the choir held at its banquet. As the night of each organization's banquet came to a close, the females, in their finest adornments, tried to forget how much their shoes were pinching their feet, while the guys were trying to forget how much the dinner ticket was pinching their pocketbooks. What they did not forget was how much they had enjoyed themselves.

Not rain nor snow nor dark of nl ht... By Christy Thompson ometimes there are things and people throughout the year who are left unrecog- nized. Things were seen or heard every day as people came to school that were just taken for granted. The school marquee was one such thing. Everyone who drove in front of the school had seen it. It was the big sign in front of the school which held different announcements ranging from band and choir concerts and future athletic games, to congratulatory and weather messages. Also taken for granted were the people whose responsibility it was to put up the daily announcements. ,Coach Steve Hamberger was the person in charge of this project and had been for several years. Usually one of his student aides was the sign changer, but he also selected students from his first period classes to put up announcements on the marquee. One student who had done this duty all year was freshman Kirk Moffitt. I have been putting up announcements and stuff on the marquee all year long. I don't know how I was selected to do it, I was just lucky I guess, Kirk said. Announcements were not the only things posted upon the marqueeg there were birthday and anniversary greetings, as well. Kirk said, Sometimes when Coach Hamberger wants to embarrass a teacher or someone, he will have us put up their name and age for everyone else to see. I have never put up my own stuff, but when we run out of letters, I sometimes have to change the wording around so it will all fit. Hamberger usually writes everything down on a piece of paper. I take' the paper and go downstairs to getall ofthe letters needed and the ladder, then I go outside and putit up on both sides of the marqueef' continued Kirk. Like the mailmen, Kirk and the other people who help him put up the marquee have to do it no matter what the weatheris like. I have put up the marquee when it has started to pour down rain! Whatever the weather, I put it up. Christy Thompson Kirk .Moffitt, a freshman in Coach Steve Hamberger's first period American History class, was the unofficial marquee person for this school year. Index 321 LaCroix, Patrick Finding answers to a premature death is not always easy, but recalling the special qualities and personality of of the person by the people left behind can help ease the pain. Soying goodbye Shelli Hein By Chris Sekin here are the clowns? Send in the clowns. For only the clowns could see the pain surrounding the death of a somewhat quiet, but well-liked student of IHS who suddenly passed away in the mid-summer of 1981: Shelli Heine. Who was Shelli? Shelli was the cute little brunette. She was the one who smiled at everyone as she got stuck in the B 8: E hall intersection, even if she did not' know them. Shelli was the one who valued friendship like her life. She was the one not afraid to laugh at funny jokes, even ifthey weren't humorous. And Shelli was the one not afraid to admit it if she admired someone. New friends were being made right and left. A sophomore year of extracurricular activities was in the making. A summer of travel, swimming, and active Friday nights was in the future. She was not planning to have her there was 'no returning to the past. Although her acquaintances at her new school were relatively small in number at the beginning of her freshman year, Shelli made friends fast, and kept them. One close friend reflected on the times they hadg the times that were planned. She was simply the sweetest person I havelever known and ever wanted to know. I met her in a history class and had no idea that our friendship would take root so deep. From what I remember, Shelli made history interesting. Her laugh, her smile, and her disposition made me admire her. We had a summer full of fun planned and a year of school to remember. But then it happened, while she was at the lake with several friends, said sophomore Christy Traylor. And the plans would never come true. What was it that took the life of a person so young? Scattered rumors say it was a brain tumor. Said Christy, lt happened at the lake and after she got to the hospital she went into a coma for three days and then died. Many say that such cases go undetected for uncomprehensible reasons. In Shelli's case, t'unfair seems to be the proper term. Why do such things happen to people of such kindness and sincerity? The answer may not bein our hands. Although Shelli had all of the qualities of a special'i individual, there is a term called fate. And fate could have had some control on Shelli's life. Maybe her life was set to end just a little sooner than ours. We can only hope that wherever she is, she is living the life that she so life taken, but it happened, and rightfully deserved.

But for those few who were especially unlucky in this area, they often found themselves waiting around after 3:30 for a ride home. Those who waited for transportation were usually underclassmen. They found their way home through the school system's bus routes. With the large number of students using this route, however, two shifts of buses had to be arranged, leaving those few standing, talking, sitting, or doing homework in the front of the school for a limited amount of time. Kristi Major, one of the bus riders said, When that bus gets in sight, we all run for the bus. I don't really have much homework anyway, so I don't take advantage of that time as study time. I ha ue seen those who do use that waiting period, which is about 30 minutes, to do all sorts of things from make up tests to the homework that they would have. One special case of waiting lingered until 4:45 each day. The Davilas, Liz and Paul, found themselves using their time more efficiently due to the time they waited for their family to pick them up. - This burden strengthened the relationship between Liz and Paul as brother and sister. Liz said, 'fWe usually talk about something. When Paul's not there the time goes so slower. Sometimes he has practice or didn't come to school and I'm there alone. It's much easier, and the time goes much faster when there's someone there to pass the time withf' I talk to my friends until they leave, and then I go to my locker and sit at the tables in front of the art room, she continued. Liz began this practice because ofher brother's involvement in the art program. Being in art has given me something that I can do while I'm watching the clock. Sometimes I walk the halls even when there's no one left in the school. But that even gets boring after a while because once you know 1 where everything is, there's'not much to see,'l Paul claimed. I really pretty much hate having to wait because it's tedious and boring. I sit and watch the clock and it can go really slow, he said. Although Liz and Paul both get their homework out of the way during their wait, they had slightly differing opinions ofhow bad the waiting actually was. I watch the clock time, too, and it goes a little faster after a while. We've had to wait for so long that it doesn't really bother me that much anymore. At leastl know the school inside and out now, Liz said. Thomison, Nelda ..,. ...,..,.... 07 Thompson, Christina.. .52, 170, 197, Thompson, Christine Thompson, Connie ..

Together where er they go By Chris Sekin ere, high above the sky in beautiful Irving, Texas, the entire city can be seen in detail. There is fire station No. 502, and look, there's the foundation for that new, giant mall to be built on the corner of Hwy. 183 and Beltline, In the distance, the newly-faced Irving Community Hospital can be seen. Rumor has it that they deliver babies there now. But look a little closer, down in the center of town. Why it's Mrs. Jones' second grade class and boy do they seem lively. Little Pat Collini is jumping on his desk and letting saliva dribble down his cheek. Theresa Brooks is crying because her doll ripped open. Little Danny Sapp sits alone in the corner drawing funny faces on the wall. And look at little Mary, daughter of the Lowes, she's playing chase with little Marc Schmitz. What binding element do these unknown youngsters have in common? If they only knew that within ten years they would still be friends. Changed a little in size, shape, and personality, but still compatible as far as friends' standards are concerned. Theirs is a friendship thicker than water and deeper than the deepest puddle. Ten long years have since passed and it's 1982 and the friendship has, a deeper impression. Tall Pat Collini is now jumping shots on the basketball court and the saliva no longer oozes from his once adolescent mouth. Theresa .Brooks finally got over that doll that got ripped open and she has saved up for a new one. Little Danny Sapp got in trouble for drawing on that wall in second Mike Kopf Seniors Marc Schmitz, Teresa Brooks, Mary Lowe, Danny Sapp, and Pat Collini have been friends since the second grade. grade so now he sticks to drawing conclusions to varied problems. And look, little Mary, daughter of the Lowes is no longer playing chase with Marc Schmitz, but with some other fella. And Marc, well he is doing a little chasing of his own. All have changed considerably in values, beliefs, and morals, but that one uniqueness that they all share is the need for solid friendships. Friendships with a background. HI have known Mary since second grade. We all went to a private school and 1 guess that gave us a chance to become closer. As far as Mary is concerned, I think she is a doll. She is sweet and sincerely kind, said senior Pat Collini. Some characteristics are so vivid that these friends will never forget. Said Pat, L'Mary was always skinny and I guess she always will be. And what about Pat? Surely Mary has some interesting comments on the subject. I guess Pat has changed most in that he has gotten more involved in things. We are all still good friends, but we also have new friends, said senior Mary Lowe. And then came Danny, the one who scribbled on the wall all of the time. Said Mary, Peoplejust don't know Danny very Well. He is one of the nicest people I knowf, The quiet one. That is how Theresa Brooks was described by most of the other four pals. Said Marc, She was always kind of quiet and somewhat reservedf' Others described Teresa's personality as pleasing. I like somebody who minds their own business and can still be friends with people and that is what Theresa was best at, said senior Danny Sapp. He was the one chasing Mary Lowe around class. He was also the one who had the fight with little John Doe over who got to help the teacher pass out papers. But now the once-violent Marc fights a battle with representa- tives of student council, but luckily the battles are friendly and usually end in peace. Marc is so involved with school events. I am glad to see that he did so well this year, said senior Theresa Brooks. Others felt that Marc turned out a little different than they expected. Said Pat Collini, Marc should have been someone without much intelligence, but he turned out to be pretty smart. They do not spend a great amount of time together as a group, they occasionally get placed in the same classes.

During her off-testing period, freshman Lysa Littlejohn uses her fleeing moments of the last day of school studying for her last test of the '82 school year. Let's do something this summer. Thanks for everything. Good riddancef' Pm glad I got to know you. You know I love you. I still hate you. Signing off By Phil Freeman ome years it seemed like it, and some years it didn't. Teenagers laughed aboutiit, cried over it, but mostly just enjoyed it. And all were justified in their differing reactions. The last day of school was the subject of a count down for the majority of people the second semester of school. It was the beginning of three months to comeg a projection of hot summer days, and fun-filled nights. Still, the phrases, HI can't believe it's the last day of school,'l and l'm going to have so much fun this summerf' were the most often heard words around the halls. No rumors had to spread. With everyone running around in a flurry, frantically flashing smiles and some giving compliments to those they had cut down all year, other end-of-the-year habits took their end-of-the-year course. It was like packing for a long vacation or running away from home. Fight ribbons were being finally pulled down from decoratively adorned lockersg usual cafeteria diners found themselves in unfamiliar weekday luncheon surroundings, such as Jack in the Box, Taco Inn, or Pizza Hut. Besides the factor of studying for finals, taking it easy, and the last day of school were synonymous. People were signing autograph sections like mad while asking when the yearbook would come out and in the next breath they were tearing down another Pac-Man from the count down calendar in front of Mr. David Shultz, room. It was the most anxiously awaited day on the school calendar. All participated, and all found it easy to decide what to do for a while. But even more so, they knew what not to do fora while---go to school. And while walking out the door for the last time on that last day, they all smiled and felt a sense of accomplishment. Another year, another summer.

'Out ofthe Ordinary' The Lair Staff began this year thinking that we would use the theme The Right Stuff. After our first deadline and it came time to write theme copy we decided that it would not do. We could not think of enough things that happened this year and were phenomenally successful enough to correctly develop the story of the year. It was definitely time to come up with a new theme. Mid-winter apathy was very much with us all at the time. We couldn't find anything good to say about life at IHS---it was boring, ordinary. A member of the staff jokingly suggested Ordinary People. The majority of the staff laughed. A few of us picked up on the idea. We thought aboutit a bit and decided that all the good and interesting things about IHS came from ordinary happenings. Thus, the theme evolved on this idea. We hope you enjoy this volume. Leslie White, Editor W, .TV l lnsidv Ulu-:mimi Q T Avlivilif N N19 Fpm'I.+ HW I ll Ul'g.w1f'1r1+-:mx I1 WI I .'Xx',l1i'?
