From the battle field to well-earned rest. Where dark and death are never known And here see I. in the splendid halls, The hero hosts, who with their lord To Valhalla shall wander, the battle won. Greeted by maidens' sweet tuneful hall. On winged steeds in silence they soar. On grave ground alighting, green with pines. And singing songs of the light and love That e'er are found In Odin's Home.

PRESERVING THE VIKING LEGACY.” dwells on remembering and preserving the memories of the past year at Huffman High School. Our goal is to recollect the fun times had this year in one volume, while at the same time appreciating a little of our Viking heritage. Our memories of Huffman are treasures we will cherish for years, for they will be forever embedded in our minds. We will be able to open our yearbooks in the future and laugh at the pictures of old friends or satisfy our yearning to look back at the past to reflect on old times. We will. In the future, be able to recount the events gone by . . the plays, pep rallies, exams. Homecoming, the Prom, sports, and club activities. These various aspects of school will always fill our minds with pride and spirit in our high school, as well as entertain us in the years to come. Rick Renshaw STUDENT A Junior once did the unforgivable by parking m a Senior space So. his little Honda was literally “picked Up” and “politely moved by a select group of Senior . This was one incident that occurred after numbered park ing spaces were assigned'to the students. Corresponding numbered stickers were placed on “the left side of the vehicle’s bumper. Seniors had priority over space assignments, so they never worried about not being able to pur chase parking places. Both Seniors and. Juniors seemed happy not to have to hurry to school, just to find a place to park. Some Juniors complained'about “belated” sixteenth birthdays since the purchasing of spaces had been done early In the first weeks of school and they would have to wait for the next year or for spaces to come available. Sophomores and Freshmen could hot purchase stickers, not only because most were not old enough to drive, but ' because there were not enough parking areas to accommodate them. It was a new .concept to get used to, yet it benefited, not to mention relieved, the majority. ; v;r. . Jj, • - ■ '. ) 1,v.'• ■: v Kayron Prevail 1 STUDENT Wm $ was the year of the restored locker . What a � it was for students to find clean, freshly painted lockers wtth built-in locks. The price for the lockers, four dollars, was also an unexpected surprise. For an additional shock students were assigned “locker periods. times before school, between study and lunch, and after school when they could go to their lockers. The majority of students were pleased with the slight modification of the locker rules and adjusted well to the'concept of “restored lockers. T racie Sides HUFFMAN VIKING BAND The Huffman Marching Band was invited to perform at Auburn's open ing game against Southwestern Louisiana. on September 7. 1985, a special honor given after 8 years of superior awards at marching and concert programs under the direction of Mr. Clifford M. Winter ill. After Auburn's 49 7 win over Southwestern, the Huffman High School Marching Band combined with mutft 5T � r OPENS AUBURN SEASON Mr the Opelika High School Band from Opelika, Alabama, and the Hardaway High School Band from Columbus. Georgia, to form a 400 piece ensemble that played the Auburn fight song. The Marching Band represented Huffman High School well In a great show of spirit and discipline by the entire organization. Jennifer McGough CHORAL ■ Anyone could sing a solo, but having an award-winning choir took a group effort The commitment of purpose was obviously necessary - of dedication to a goal — of school spirit — °f persona! achievement. And often the effort required went beyond singing When new chairs were needed in the practice room, or new choir robes were needed for concerts. the choir achieved their goal through group effort. Hours were given to fund-raising projects and hours given to practice A commitment of the group was given to common goals the personal pride In a job well done and the pride of Huffman High In a group of its own who gave so generously of their talents.

CITED AS ONE OF FINEST IN SECONDARY EDUCATION I ■■Mill o5h Huffman boasts an impressive academic Tecord as well as repeated success in extracurricular activities. Begui in 1966. the hitah school has grown from a small 9th grade class only, to a 1985 86 enrollment of 1629 in 4 grades. This makes Huffman High School the largest school In the Birm ingham system, , Y. -M Y L We at Huffman High School are Justifiably'prdlicf of the vaiufd oppor tunities that enable us to excel, to pursue a higher education to ent r the -5 challenging world with cohffcfence and to mafce positive contributions io if, • • A? S'J 'V� r • Todd Hbrrjs V.£r '? 7vrr • y a , «V A ■W “WE’RE THE CLASS THAT REALLY TICKS. WE RE THE SENIORS OF 86!’ We. the seniors of 1986. saw many changes that we will remember for a long time o come. For instance, for two years we had been engaged in the parking war out hi the parking lot. It was always First come, first served.” if we weren't here by 7:30 in the morning, our chances of getting a good place to park were slim or nil. If we were unfortunate enough to be late, we might as well have parked over In front of Bargain Town, but. in 1986 we were assigned parking spaces and I.D. stickers to solve the problem. Also, we were '‘given (for four bucks) lockers with built-in combination Jocks. A rare oddity occurred when the seniors weren't able to win a pep rally for the first five games It looked as though we were going to repeat our freshman year; remember how “fun that was? But after some reorganizing and regrouping, and a little help from the spirit committee bakery, we managed to win. That was nice, considering we were shut out for five attempts by people such as Pee Wee Herman. Rocky Balboa.” Crockett and Tubbs, “Colonel Sanders. and Buckwheat. But our Joy of victory didn’t last long; we must have been taboo for the football team because they lost their first game on the same day. Not only will we remember the changes, but memories of other things will always be present in our minds, such as old coke and new coke, the Miami Vice clothes styles, and Bobby Smiles. As we prepare to start new lives, some of us reluctantly, we will always remember the fads, fashions, activities, and friendships that we left behind as our legacy to Huffman. Rick Renshaw RIOR AND MAIDEN Being involved In music was Craig's chief interest at Huffman He was a member of the Symphonic and Marching Band for three years, the Stage Band for two years, and participated In numerous honor bands, including the All-State Band. In addition to instrumental music, his interest expanded into Choral, where he was a member of Mixed Ensemble and Concert Choir. As a result of his vast musical talent, he was chosen to take part In the Alabama Choir Explosion Ensemble. a great honor for a choir member in Alabama. Besides music, Craig was deeply involved in other activities. He was a member of the Latin Club, the Latin National Honor Society, the Senior Spirit Committee, the Academic Team. F.B.L.A. and Mu Alpha Theta. Craig’s future plans include the pursuit of a Ph D. In Clinical Psychology, a subject that holds much interest for him. He was fortunate to have had a chance to be a volunteer at Hlllcrest Hospital where he gained a greater Interest in and received more exposure to the field of Psychology Craig hopes all students are able to look back as Seniors at their past years at Huffman High School and know they have gained much from the teachers and friends they have acquired, that the friendships developed will be cherished forever, and the memories of high school will be kept close to their hearts. CRAIG SUMMERS An active student at Huffman. Meridith participated in a variety of clubs and activities. She was a member of the Math Team for three years, a member of Mu Alpha Theta and of F.B.L.A She was In the National Honor Society, The French National Honor' Society, and was treasurer of the French Club. She was also an active member of Senior Agape, and Junior Agape of which she was Treasurer. Very involved in the S.G.A Cabinet, she was happy to serve as treasurer of the Student Government Association. Her fellow classmates voted her Most Likely To Succeed. Meridith’s interests include music and sports. She especially likes piano. While in the Choral Department she was a member of Girls' Ensemble and Concert Choir. For three years she was a member of the Valorettes. a group she especially enjoyed. Meridith was also interested in spectator sports, mainly football and baseball. During Meridith’s four years at Huffman, she found Valorettes and Choir important influences in her life. Both organizations taught her discipline and cooperation with others. Meridith's future is something she really looks forward to. She plans to enter the field of Medical Research Pharmacy seems the most appealing to her. Meridith feels all students should get involved in clubs and activities because that is where they meet other students who share the same interests. She says the friendships she developed in high school are special; these friendships will be kept close to her and she has a million terrific memories of Huffman High School. 19 meridith McCracken Athlon, Fehiia Alli on III, Ollice A met ion, Bruce L Armmong.

Take Homecoming week, for example. Just imagine how droll our football season would be without those few days when sign hanging, class competition and a community favorite, the parade, dominate our thoughts And what of our school's publication giants — the Valhalla and the Valkyrie? When The Enquirer just won't do. our students neturaDy tum to the annual and school paper for the scoop A brief glance around our Institution will Justify the need for a Senior Project Committee to Insure the school's adequate repair As for the community desire for theatrical enlightenment, the Drama Department sure fills the bill with It several annual presentations Yet. we mustn't fall to mention the very organization which binds our diverse student body together, the group responsible for this year's many activities and dances — yes, the Student Government Association. In addition to these, we have those activities which allow Huffman's representation tn fields of competition throughout the city, state, and Southland. The band, with Its troupe of Valorettes and Color Guard, has proved its ability, as has our Choral department, winning more than As share of awards. For those more academically inclined, there are our fine Math. Debate, and Academic teams, many of whose members enjoy the Intellectual fellowship of the National Honor Society. And. besides, how else could we receive those precious green and orange helmets at report card time Or. If discipline and marksmanship is more to your liking, then the ROTC and Rtfle Team Is right on target. Finally, our Miss Valhalla Competition has everything that a great pageant requires: swimsuits, talent, and more swimsuits With this combination.

Mrs. Finch, for her hard work and support. She has dedicated much time and effort into making this annual possible. We Love You! The Staff After a three day seminar In the summer on How to put a yearbook together.” the 1985-86 Valhalla staff was really looking forward to beginning a new school year. The entire staff just couldn't wait to dig In. But they all soon discovered there was more to putting an annual together than most people could ever imagine. Deadlines had to be met. So many hours were spent on pictures and layout designs, not to mention the time spent working up copy or captioning pictures. Much time was spent drawing and redrawing all year. But all that overtime paid off; the 1986 VALHALLA was the evidence. The pride experienced from putting together this collection of the 1986 school year was enough reward for the work and trying times we all suffered. It was truly an honor to serve on the Valhalla Staff. L-R: Track Side . Tracey Ayers. Kathy Finch — Sponsor, Yolanda Hopson. Sam Landman, Allan Staggs. Kayron Pravatt. Mike SmKherman. Beth Laird.

One major reason that the girls place such emphasis upon this pageant is that it is one of two high school contests in Alabama which is a preliminary to the Miss Alabama Pageant. If successful in the Miss Valhalla and the Miss Alabama Pageants, the winner will compete for the title of Miss America. In the Miss Valhalla Pageant, the girls are judged in four categories: personal interview, evening gown, talent, and swimsuit. Another benefit brought about by the fact that Miss Valhalla is a preliminary to Miss Alabama is that the current Miss Alabama, Angela Tower, came to emcee and entertain In the past, girls such as April Southard, Cynthia Lamar, Sabra McLean, Susan Ingrum, Angela Callahan, and Kim Jaynes have competed in the Miss Alabama Pageant and have done well. We wish future contestants from Huffman High School the best of luck.

The Concert Choir, Girls' Ensemble, Mixed Ensemble, and Chansoniers all received superior ratings. This enabled all four groups to advance to the State Music Competition at Samford University in April, 1986, the highest honor a choral department could receive. J. Shores 89 National ©onor Society Membership in the National Honor Society is the highest honor bestowed on students at Huffman High School.

The team went to several tournaments during the year. Some Senior tournaments were held Oct. 26 at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa and March 1 at Samford in Birmingham. Other tournaments included all four grade levels of the Math Team, including one on Dec 14 at Vestavia High School in Vestavia. one on Feb 15 at our own Huffman High School in Birmingham, and one on April 19 at Grissom High School in Huntsville. The Math Team also went to State and Gty Tournaments. On April 5, a written test was taken at State and on May 10 a ciphering test was taken.

Huffman’s Academic Team, however, has found an alternative to this process. By applying daily lessons to a game, the members of the Academic Team have discovered that learning can be fun as well as fulfilling. This year's Academic Team was made up of ten students who were chosen because of their academic achievements. Team selection took place at the beginning of the school year. Once the team was announced, the members began meeting after school each Tuesday and Thursday to prepare for upcoming meets such as the Birmingham City Competition and the All-City Tournament held In Duvall County. Jacksonville, Florida. Art Academic Meet is much like the G. E. College Bowl Games. Teams compete against each other by answering questions In the categories of Fine Arts. Science, Math.

Questions are written by the UAB Honor’s Staff based on the state educational curriculum and are kept under lock and key until just prior tothe meet. This year’s team again made Huffman proud by performing up to its usual standards but the students on the Academic Team saw a great deal more than just victory in their efforts. They saw the chance to enjoy a great challenge while expanding their knowledge as well.

The Valkyrie staff kept the student body Informed about events that took place throughout the school year. Exciting articles filled each Issue, such as. WHAT'S HOT AND WHAT'S NOT,” an article dealing with things that are good to wear and things that are not, and the eye catcher. Dear Mrs. KNOW IT ALL. the Dear Abby of the school. These were just a couple of the articles that were a part of the 1985-86 Valkyrie. The Valkyrie staff has played a tremendous part in preserving the Viking legacy.

SENIOR PROJECT COMMITTEE The Senior gift is an integral part of our school life, especially for those graduating. It is a tradition that wouldn't be possible without the dedication of the Senior Project Committee. The members of the committee. through persistent peddling of their TOM-WAT boxes, do a great service: they finance the Senior gift and replace the need for a Senior Fee. Among the Senior gifts from past graduating classes, there have been the paving of the Swamp, the placing of numerous sidewalks, and more recently the upgrading of the main parking lot. The gym wall murals, the Library VCR, and the recent locker renovations are also evidence of the Seniors’ desire to leave an even better Huffman to those who inherit her. Kelly Trotman.

The decorating of the buildings on Sunday, October 20. was a great way to begin a week-long celebration, but this was only the beginning. On Wednesday the Homecoming Court was presented to the student body. The next activity to boost the students' spirit was the class relays which proved to be a very close and exciting victory for the Seniors. Thursday night brought sign hanging, the ever popular bonfire, a gym dance for everyone and a special time for the Seniors to be alone. Then came Friday. The pep rally was fantastic! In many opinions it was the best in at least four years. The Seniors were excited to find that not only had they won the pep rally, but they had won the Spirit trophy for the Homecoming week. After school, the floats left the parking lot and the parade was underway. The Valorettes. the Band, and the B Team Cheerleaders won first, second, and third places, respectively, in float decoration. However, the highlight of the week certainly came during half time at the football game. It was at this time that the 1985-86 Homecoming Queen was presented and crowned. Overall, Huffman's Homecoming of 1985-86 was truly an eventful and spectacular occasion.

All the hours of work began on the first day of tryouts It was a difficult task to pick from the talented students who might have been perfect for the parts The director's Job was extremely dtf ficult throughout, but Mrs. Askew handled everything like a pro with tremendous devotion. Once the parts were established, the long practice began The night before the play was to be performed the excitement built during dress arid make up rehearsal Yet nothing compared to the overwhelming excitement of the few minutes before the curtain opened .. In the last thirty minutes before the play began, the cast met for a warm up and a prayer. Afterwards, the actots and actresses went to thetr places and concentrated on their characters, and actually became the characters. Just before the curtain revealed the audience, actors reminisced about all the practices including mistakes and a dozen little incidents that happened during rehearsals. While waiting for the curtain to open, their hearts seemed ;n pound so loudly that it seemed the whole auditorium could hear them The curtain opened and the show began During the performance, the actors could actually feel energy from the audience which was encouraging. In between scene changes, the technical crews rushed around arranging the stage prop Every!ime the curtain opened, excitement built Finally, when the curtain closed for the last time, a warm sense of success was-felt in all the actors and actresses The applause at the end was deeply appreciated and certainly deserved Kayron Prevail 100 HONOR THESPIANS L-R Rex Copeland, Ginger Murphrey, Kayron Prevail.

Debate provides a student with many skills that apply to everyday life, such as a better understanding of current events. Preparation for tournaments Is the avenue to winning, as exemplified by senior Daniel Wood. The dedication of Mrs. Askew has provided a strong foundation for debate at Huffman. Continuous work and much practice give our debators an edge over other schools. To be a winner, the debator must develop ex- cellent speaking skills, or all his hard work would be meaningless when he could not persuade a judge. 102 DEBATE TEAMS I The 1985-86 Huffman High School debate team upheld the winning tradition of the Viking legacy this year With impressive victories at the early tournaments.

The Jr. ROTC program at Huffman High School provides more for the students than military training; it offers students practical knowledge of leadership and other areas to improve their education and enhance their study skills. Uniforms are provided free of charge and are worn once a week in preparation for the Veteran’s Day Parade and Annual Formal Inspection. A standard quality in a JROTC cadet is discipline, which is stressed in many ways throughout the course. It may be thought of as hard work, but overall it’s worth the effort. The skills ROTC members acquire are useful to the student now. and later in life. Huffman JROTC carries on the proud Huffman tradition in a noble way. Having journeyed far Into the heart of Alabama, members of the JROTC prepared to visit Jacksonville State University where they were trained in the use of firearms, hand to hand combat, and repelling. Upon arrival. Sgt. Reasor demonstrated how to repel; however, the height and the speed of his descent caused many to decline his invitation to participate so they proceeded to a less dangerous class 106 DISK AND DIAMOND CLUB Regina William .

As the day drew near, hopes were high, with expectations even higher. Of course, it was the students in the JROTC unit who outdid themselves by winning the John C. Persons trophy for being the best military marching unit in the Veteran’s Day Parade. This is the first time in Huffman JROTC history for the group to receive this honor.

The Student Cabinet is divided into two bodies: The Student Senate and the House of Student Representatives. The Senate is composed of twelve members from the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. Members of the House are selected from each grade and total seventy-six students. These groups work as committees on major projects for the school. The S.G.A. was responsible for sponsoring the annual Homecoming Dance along with several other dances throughout the school year. The group also sold spirit material for pep rallies and games to help boost the student morale, and during the past year the S.G.A. has directed the football tailgate parties during the playoff season. 109 During ihe 1985-86 school year. Huffman High School fielded 12 teams in 8 different sports. While each team brought its own personal flavor and personal style to the world of Huffman athletics, each made a common contribution to the words Go Viks Go!” Whether you were a fan of the excitement of football, basketball, or soccer, the skill of baseball, golf, or tennis, or the marvels of track and volleyball, there was a place to be found in the variety of Viking sports. Every member of every team strove to make the 1985-86 school year a year of excitement; one which will set a precedent for future teams and begin a new Viking tradition of Victory. 0 1 1985-86 CHEERLEADERS VARSITY Kathryn Likis.

A little time to rest and relax was a welcome escape from the rigorous training sessions that the week provided The 1986 Huffman High School Baseball Team, under the direction of Coach Phil English, had high hopes for this year’s season. To begin with, they planned to spend a week at Daytona Beach. Florida, for spring training during AEA week. Coach English has always believed that the key to a successful season lies in hard work and dedication. “A week in Daytona, as Coach English put it, has been the key to winning seasons in the past. Upon graduation from Huffman and entrance into the Major Leagues, both Britt Burns and Jay Tibbs brought acclaim to Coach English’s program here at Huffman. While these players have gone on to bigger things, much talent and devotion still flurish at Huffman and we can look forward to years of success and a continuation of the winning Viking tradition.

Coach BOYS’ TRACK Every sports event occurs In Its own place and time. For example, football mainly dominated the fall of the year, while basketball dominated the winter. Accordingly, during the spring, another sport took control of the mainstream of Huffman life; track and field. This event began in the spring and continued until the early part of summer. Under the direction of Coach Galamore, Huffman High School's team zipped through the season with ease. Both the girls’ and the boys' squads competed In such events as the high and low hurdles, the sprints, distance running, and various field events. Spending hours at a time after school, the dedicated members of both teams undertook the task of preparing for various track meets.

The Viks started quickly with Chris Tippett's 41 yard touchdown run. to take the lead 7-0. But unfortunately four turnovers In the first quarter, including one returned by the Cougars. 86 yards for a touchdown, proved to be too much for the Viks to overcome, and the Cougars took a 25-7 half time lead. In the second half, penalties and turnovers plagued the Viks again as they could only score one touchdown on a 7 yard pass from Joe Greene to Vantrell Williams. But that was too little, too late as the Vikings lost 32-15 to the Nor-thview Cougars. cy Dials was named Huffman's for his 12 solo tackles for the i. 140 HUFFMAN 15 NORTHVIEW 35 The Viking defense gives it all they have, even though they were fighting a losing battle.

The results, when cooked, arc Seniors who have been baked for four years. Sometimes spice is added in our lives but with so many teachers and officials it’s hard to come out perfect.

During the 1985-86 school year the juniors added to the great Viking legacy by excelling in all activities of school. During the spirit competition, juniors let their spirit shine. With the aid of Ed Grimely, Crockett and Tubbs of Miami Vice, Gumby, Rocky, and the immortal Buckwheat, the juniors won the overall spirit award for the second year in a row. Way to go, spirit committee. In athletics, juniors played major roles. In football, Phillip Doyle’s kicking helped lead the mighty Vikings to the finals of the 6A State Championship. During the course of the season he set a national record for the most field goals in a season. Also In athletics, two juniors, Darrell Davis and A1 Weathers, made contributions in one of the best starts in Huffman’s basketball history, including victories over Carver and Woodlawn. Though the juniors had a great year, the new parking sticker regulation caused problems for some of them. Since juniors did not receive parking assignments until after seniors received theirs, several juniors were not able to park In the Huffman student lot. For those juniors who did get a parking sticker, their worries about parking were over. The ones less fortunate, however, did find adequate parking at Food World. In spite of the inconveniences they encountered the spirit of the juniors continued to help preserve the great traditions already established at Huffman High School. S. Ulmer, B. Cook. D Griffith. J.

The spirit displayed by the sophomores shone through at the pep rallies in which they participated every week. Not only did they adapt to the routine of a pep rally, which includes the painting of signs beforehand, but they managed to win the spirit stick a time or two. They also contributed to an incredible 114 football season by supplying several varsity players from their class. But aside from spirit and sports, the sophomores became involved in many club activities available at Huffman which not only help the school, but the community at large as well. These accomplishments will not be forgotten so long as Valhalla continues to preserve the Viking lagacy.

David Young Stan Young Robert Zaruba Scott Aderbold AUTOGRAPHS 174 FRESHMEN The 1985 86 school year was the time for a new beginning for the Freshmen of Huffman High School. It was a period of major adjustment and adaptation. At the start of the year, the ninth graders were full of curiosity about such things as teachers, classes, and the many activities that are part of the school itself. This curiosity was the result of the anticipation of new experiences they would encounter. One of the major accomplishments of the freshmen was learning the often confusing bell schedule. There were many times a freshman would reveal his identity by standing up to leave at the half bell, while the upper-class laughed in hysterics. Also, there was the adjustment of getting around in the round buildings at Huffman. How many instances of tardiness were there at the beginning of the year when freshmen had to have someone help them to class? In spite of all the embarrassment, the freshmen of 1985-86 seemed eventually to fit in just as all of the other freshmen classes had in years past. The freshmen found themselves constantly tested, joked about, and made examples of. They had to master the routine of the school while at the same time discovering the tradition and pride of the school that makes Huffman so special. Overall, it was hectic, but the year turned out to be a major stepping stone into a brand new world that would prepare them for a challenging life ahead. Having great friends makes being a New Viking” a lol easier.

Membership in clubs such as the Spanish dub. the French Club, and Latin Club affords good experiences for students because they allow students to explore and study new and different languages and cultures. There are also the French and Latin Honor Societies, extensions of the French and Latin Clubs composed of French and Latin Club honor students. The Science Club is a group of students who are very interested in Science and Science related topics. The H-Club is one in which you must have earned a letter to be a member. The Vik squad is important in that the group adds cheer and pep to the pep rallies and football games. Also is the Quest Club that studies Black History. All of these clubs and others help show Huffman's involvement in educational as well as extra-curricular activities. I ' Latin — NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY For students who achieve scholastic excellence In first and second year Latin, the Latin National Honor Society was formed.

AGAPE, begins for girls their Junior years. The Junior AGAPE Club this year, as in every year, worked hard to demonstrate God's love to others. The name AGAPE, the Greek word for God’s unconditional love.suited this club perfectly because it not only provided a name for the group, but stated Its purpose as well. Junior AGAPE’s activities this past year were mostly service projects in which Huffman's girls, through the efforts of the club, showed their community how they really cared.

The faculty have adapted to meet not only the academic, but also the emotional needs of their students. They have become more responsive to students' needs, which results in better teacher-pupil relationships. The amount of time and energy Invested by the teachers in their students Is overwhelming. Although frequently unappreciated, this devotion is one of the most important things we encounter in our high school years. Furthermore, it will prove invaluable in our future endeavors. We, at this time, would like to recognize the outstanding commitment of the Huffman High School faculty. Denice Culver Roger Moore 197 I'W Mr. Mike Hanvey Mr. Robert S.

Finch. Thanks for slicking by us through this hectic year. You have been a caring and sweet sponsor. You are also a great friend. Thanks for all of your love and support. We Love You! Kelly. Jennifer and Jeff A special I appreciate you to those students of the 1986 yearbook staff who persevered to the end. The ultimate com pletion of the VALHALLA is credited to: Sam Landman Jennifer McGough Kelly Trotman Jeff Shores Barry Adams Beth Laird Mike Smitherman Stephen Scott Tracie Sides Allen Staggs Yolanda Hopson Mike Culp Mrs. Finch To many people who live outside of Huffman, the word Viking doesn’t strike the chord it should. To them, a Viking was a sea raider, an inhabitant of frigid Scandinavia Yet we, on the 1985-86 Annual Staff, know better. For we have had the privilege this year of showing throughout the VALHALLA just how wrong they are. Some of these uninformed souls may believe that Viking music consisted of warriors blowing on cleaned animal horns. Yet we showed our Viking Band opening an Auburn game and competing with the state's best. Those not from Huffman may have read that the Vikings were some of the ablest administrators In Medieval Europe. We proved today’s Viks still able, as we watched this year’s students enjoying new lockers and an organized parking lot. An outsider might swear that Vikings played draughts and enjoyed mock battles. No Huffman student (nor one from J. O. Johnson) should make this error, for the Annual Staff covered one of our school’s greatest sports years ever. The VALHALLA Staff has put endless hours of effort into “Persevering the Viking Legacy.” A deserving thanks to Ms. Merrilyn Cook of Taylor Publishing Company for her assistance and helpfulness to the staff throughout the year. A personal thanks goes to Mrs. Kathy Finch, our sponsor, for her unselfish devotion to the production of the 1986 VALHALLA Words cannot adequately describe the work she had done to make this year's book the best. Jennifer McGough Barry Adams Deep in cherished southern lands, 3iere our noble Huffman stands, ffiead her, guide her, Lord we pray (Bive her courage day by day. {through the worst that may be fall her itet her youth stand straight and free, (Onward marching, ever seeking, ifionor, Truth, and Purity.
