INTENT ON THE GAME, Golden Valley basketball spectators saw our team through to a rousing defeat of St. Anthony. Assembly Line Products Not Goal NONCOMMITTALLY, John Whitfield (Pete Myhre) listens to Defense Attorney Stevens (Gregg Parmelee) pour forth his tirade. Whether it was completing an analysis for chemistry, whether it was runing the low hurdles in a track meet, or whether it was operating the lights for a class play, each Viking pursued his own line of interest. These were individual lines, but, like railroad tracks seen in the distance, the end points came together. All purposeful endeavors culminated in a common goal—completing a worthwhile education. Academics, as they should be, are emphasized. But GV was not aiming for assembly line production of squares or complete carbon paper copies of each preceding student. Rather, the goal was to prepare an educated, well-rounded person for whatever field one would seek after graduation, be it housewife or nuclear scientist or teacher. A solid measure of studies to which is added just the right amount of extracurricular functions produced the prize-winning recipe for a well-informed, well-adjusted individual. 7
