SPIRIT LIVES ON AND ON Viking spirit mounted and class rivalry heated as students participated in the traditional spirit week dress up days and lunchtime activities. “We were united in a feeling of pride and dedication said Senior Chris Hanson. Spirit week created lasting memories and friendships which would endure long after the cheers and laughter faded away. Students proved that the Viking spirit was alive by wearing Hawaiian clothes, hats and shades, college sweatshirts, togas, and maroon-n-white to school throughout the week. Lunchtime activities pitted class against class competing for the coveted spirit jug. During the spirit week festivities, students participated in banana eating contests, three-legged races, lifesaver passes, and the annual tug-of-war. The highlight of the week’s activities featured Mr. Tamimie and Coach Cunningham being creamed with a pie in the face thrown by representatives of the student body. “I haven’t had so much fun since tonsillitis,’’ said Mr. Tamimie. As usual, the Senior class tallied up the winning points for the victory. Although the Homecoming game was forfeited, due to the Mattoon teacher’s strike, students continued on with a Homecoming parade including class floats and the reigning queen, Carmen Cunningham, and her court. Although the week consisted of class competitions between Seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, each class shared a common goal and soon the spirit rippled, effectively touching everyone. by Linda Butler m m HI « mmm N r m Partially dressed for hat and shades day is sophomore Mindy Foster.
