Dances provide a welcome break from the routine for Bubba Howell and Shannon May. Ttie IJC Dancers work hard on routines to entertain the halftime crowds at home football games They also march in area Christmas parades. Jamie Gunnels, is in rare form. Beth Turner performs with the IJC Dancers Heath Moore and Beverly Pearce dance to the music of Klass . The last few beats of Stand By Me linger in the empty Student Center. The litter remains. So do the memories of a fun evening locked within the party animals who were alive a few moments before but now make their way to crash for the night. Our grandparents called it cuttin ' a rug . Webster defines it as moving one ' s feet or body or both rhythmically in a pattern of steps, especially to the accompaniment of music. At IJC in the sophisticated ' 80s, we call it cuttin ' loose ! We do it in the Student Center where heavy metal sounds vibrate the windows. Some of us, par- ticulatly athletes, do it in the gym — we exercise to the driving beat in aerobics. Sore muscles make par- ticipants wince with pain — a small sacrifice for bet- ter health and condition! Or, certain band members do it on the football field in the fall or along a parade route when the icy fingers of December reach out to transform the world into a frosty wonderland. The Indianeetes practice long hours to turn precision dance into pleasure for the many thousands who view their routines each season. No matter who ' s doing it, Indians dance to the beat . . . in the Student Center, in the gym, on the football field, along the parade route, we ' re CUTTIN ' LOOSE! 8 Beginnings

From the beginning of the season to the playoffs, the Indians never lost their spirit. Week after week, the squad rolled over opponents. Jeffery Liles does his part in motivating the crowd. Red, white and blue balloons add to the Homecoming festivities. Beginnings 7
