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.

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.

Scott Baxter Mike McLean .As- representatives for their homeroom classes, junior Debbie Savage and senior Mike Bates get ready for the balloon release. 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.
