ffforeworb Our Viking herilage began in lhe eighlh cenrury, when bold warriors from 'rhe Scan- dinavian lands harassed 'lhe coas'rs of Europe, seeking advenrure and plunder. These Norlhmen, from lhe Scandinavian peninsu- la, became +he besl' shipbuilders and sailors of +heir age, helped 'ro s'rimula+e commerce be- 'lween 'l'he regions of Europe, and were +he ,,,, ' earliesl' discovers of if A lhe Norrh American Conlinenl. ll was from 'rhese vigorous people +ha+ in l932 we adopled l'he name of Vikings for our school's alhlefric reams, Norseman for 'I'he name of our school newspaper: and Volsung 'For fhe school yearbook, combining lhe hisroric and lhe mylhical. Gf course, piracy, pillage, and plunder are no longer acceplable behavior in our presenl' day, bul 'I'he boldness, 'rhe vigor and 1'he spiril' of advenlure which animaled lhe early Vikings are qualilies which we slrive lo achieve in our school life. ln 'l'his yearbook we will lry 'ro inslill in you, our reader, +he same spiril of advenlure, lhe boldness and vigor of our early day namesakes.
