6 Out of the Ordina Students from the VEH fVocational Education for the Handicappedj class prepared and served school lunches as f th ' new a part o e1r curriculum. Preparing to frost some cakes that just cooled are J ogi Edick and Michael Stephens. Scott Baxter Responsible fc r many of the new menu changes in the snack bar, the YACS attempted to promote good nutrition while helping to improve the cafeteria. 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
