Powerful drums, colorful signs, rhyming poems, spirited yelling, and flying footballs provided the weekly atmosphere for the pep rallies. Lifting your spirits fCon'i.. from page 251 held at the school or at an individual's house and helped get students acquainted with one another in the early weeks of school. 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.

With the emcees asking the questions, a couple of miscues occurred when the emcees could not hear the responses of the contestants, especially when the contestants needed a question repeated. 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. Emcees Scott Baxter and Bill Norman began the pageant and introduced the judging panel, which consisted of Warren Epps, radio personality from K 104g Ms. Linda Youngblood, fashion consultant for the Apparel Martg and Mr. Bob and Ms. Linda ICun't. un page S501 Emcee Bill Norman and sound technician Kevin Kopf listen to some last minute instructions from Ms. Sherri Taylor.
