We caught them doing their own thing, and in many cases, doing everybody else's too. just the same, they did what all students in the past did, and what all students in the future will do. The staff would like to thank the faculty for 180 long days, they endured us taking pho- tos and walking down the halls trying to take pictures. The staff would like to thank Mrs. Stanley and Mrs. Yeager for helping to make the yearbook a better one for you. And now, you are about to experience a close encounter of the best kind.

Energy Shortage in the 80’s? Never! Not with Juniors. They had to eat their Wheaties in order to keep up with the extracurricular activities (John Clayton), and rooting them on for a victory (Jr. class). Eddie Youghn Alex Wilson 72 Juniors encountered many different things, people, and activities. The excitement of ordering senior rings, keys and memory books; studying hard; WINNING FIELD DAY; enjoying homecoming; playing football; dance- lining; and just staying busy were all a part of the exciting encounters. 74 75 Jennifer Suzette Teresa Johnny Jarvis James Kelly Anderson Andrews Barfield Bates Bell Benson Blackmarr Cecelia Blake Wayne William Angelia Debra Brannon Brewer Burgess Burgess W M’ f t ■L Betty Kaye Bridgette Busbin Bused Robert Cain Troy Cannon Donna Cato Karen Chaney Debbie Clark Raymond Rudolph Derrick Kent Dixie Michelle Donna Deese Dobbs Edwards Elliot Ewing Frazier Gibbs Anything You Name Sophomores do it!! Right or wrong (wrong mostly), bad or good, fun or boring — it all became a part of their daily routine. It was a daily ritual for them to get in trouble, for talking, cut- ting up, or not having homework. But they always knew CLASS OF 82 Rules!! Everyone who had anything to do with sophomores had to have patience because that’s the only way they could make it. 78 Lolita Donna Greg Vivian Kim Gibson Giddens Giddens Glover Graves Wade Andy Eric Noah Albert Grier Griffin Griffin Griffen Hall SOPHOMORES CARRIED THEIR LOAD Catherine Bret Kelly Thomas Benjamin Harriss Hawes Hendley Harper Hodge Equilia Kendall Gina Denise Marie Hodge Holloman Howell Hutto Hutto Tina Keith Sonya Willie Clay Hutto Johnson Johnson Johnson Jones Sharon Carolyn Robert Keith Sharon Jordon Kellum Kimbrell Land Lawson Greg Royal Joanne Lewis Randy Livingston Luke McClain McDuffie McFadden Dana Bill Hugh Levise Lawrence McFarland McNatt McReady Maddox Marshall Sophomores definitely greased the wheels at ICHS and, didn’t cause one little squeak1 They kept the pep rallies HOT (Dixie Ewing, Tammy Ryan), the football team STEAMING (Troy Can- 80n°n) and the band TOOT’NI (Kelly Blackmar) Rose Mary Carolyn Dale Lamar Melanie Robert Waylon Mercer Merritt Merritt Merritt Merritt Merritt Mike Gregory Becky Carey Moore Mulkey Norton Sonya Parrish Wally Rhonda Parrish Patrick Donnie Debra Tracy Paul Paulk Paulk Johnathon Steve Janet Payne Powell Ramay Joanne Judy Jim Robin Norton Osborne Owens Page Tony Jessie Richardson Riley Patricia Robinson 81 Barbara Derrick Marie Tony Tracy Tucker Tucker Tucker Vickers Vickers No matter where we were (Genetics class — Derek Tucker, Carey Norton, Jamie Benson, Football games — Royal Luke, Pep rally — Cindy Smith) No matter what we were doing (Rosemary Mercer, Melanie Merrit — getting foxy) and no matter why we were doing it, (Making faces — Eric Griffin, Clay Jones) — Sophomores were always jam- ming (Patricia Robinson, Melica Sanders). 83 landon Becky Alberson Anderson Stan Anderson Jeanette Barber Darrin Barnes Paula Barrentine Rejoice Battle Kim Bennett Danny Anita Kathleen Agnes Lewis Maebell Sherri Althea Benyard Blake Bostick Brown Brown Brown Brown Bryant Columbus Ruby Shelia Tim Tina Kim Dawn Rhonda Bryant Bryant Bryant Busbin Busbin Bussel Cannon Chaney Michael Cleghorn Arthur Collins V I Stepping Out Freshmen of this year — eighth graders of last year — one year older, one year wiser, and a LOT wilder did their thing in the halls.

When they finally figured it out, they had problems signing up for one class without interfering with the time of another class.

All through the football season, they got more and more fired up. Every other class won the spirit award all through the season, but the Freshmen saved the “Best For Last. They finally won the spirit award at the last pep rally. Freshmen know they’re bad.
