Spirit erupted in a February pep assembly when the rowdy rag became the symbol for Viking energy. Made of old sheets dyed orange, the unlikely morale-booster was the brainchild of Albert Sandoval, Ken Baker and Vince Rogers.Viking fans who did not obtain one of the original ninety rags, went on to design their own. Mrs. Debbie Brown stitched a rowdy section banner. The rags and banner were enthusiastically touted at the boys’ B-West District Tourney in Prescott. Rowdies took credit for shaking up opponents’ free throws and helping Viking spirit soar. Although the B-West tourney placed Vikes number three, the surging enthusiasm was even felt among other teams. Before the tournament ended other schools were waving imitations appropriately colored for their own teams. Cheap, cheap imitations.

Sean utilized parts of the outfit made in 1981 by Tim Mace and Mrs Bonnie Dent, and added accessories of his own.
