Warrior and Maiden — Traditionally, the VALHALLA names a young man and a young woman as Huffman High Warrior and Maiden. These two outstanding Seniors are chosen by the faculty to represent the ideal Huffman student. Their selection is based upon leadership, character, overall contributions to student welfare, and continuous scholastic achievement. These traits of impressiveness and intelligence are comparable to the ancient Vikings. The Warrior, a noble and majestic figure, is known for his unfailing stamina, courage, and superb character, thus enabling him to master the Norwegian seas. The Maiden was a dominant figure among the Nordic people because of her queenly statue. She was a perfect representation of fairness, purity, and beauty. With these qualities the Warrior and Maiden ruled the Scandinavian world. It is with great pleasure that the VALHALLA announces the 1988 Warrior and Maiden. 6 1988 Warrior and Maiden
