Golden Valley High School - Viking Yearbook (Golden Valley, MN)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1978 volume:

A long time ago in a High School in Golden Valley... LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: I have no bones to pick with you-1 just want to express my own personal views on the 1977-78 school year. As a senior, it was primarily a year of great concern. With declining enrollment, cutbacks were made left and right; the dismissal of some teachers caused others to take up the slack by doing double duty. And on the students’ side, we were forced to relinquish many freedoms we had taken for granted in previous years with the reinstating of Block Scheduling. And there was also the thought lurking in everyone’s mind: “How close arc we to consolidation with another school?’’ The freshmen, sophomores and even juniors began to wonder if they’d graduate before that happened. And the seniors showed concern, for this school had played a big part in their lives, and they also hated to see anything happen. However, this year was also filled with good things. There was a return of some old traditions and the first appearance of a new one. The National Honor Society and Student Council were re-established, while the Snow Dance debuted with great success. 1977-78 was a year of ups and downs, but I will remember it as a year of good times and friendship, full of memories to last a life time. After all this, what will I do without GVHS? A Senior LETTER FROM THE EDITOR 1 would like to take this opportunity to uphold yearbook tradition and write the inevitable, trite letter of thanks to all those faithful and somewhat dedicated students who have made this unique publication possible. But I won’t. It is in better keeping with the rest of the book for me to engage in things more readable. The theme of the book this year is “magazine style,” and we have upheld that idea to the best of our abilities. We have inserted creativity in copy, pictures and layout in a determined effort to stamp out the demon trite wherever possible. Thus, we are quality crusaders, a title which we hope will be remembered through some of our more radical pages. The book is an attempt to provide an amusing as well as historic review of school year 1977-’78, and we mean no real offense toward anything portrayed within it. Neither, on the other hand, did we hold back when there was any reasonable type of amusement to be squeezed out of our otherwise rather rigid subject matter. There can be one thing said for the book, however: it docs, in its own way, portray reality. Reality with a spicy twist, it’s true, but reality nonetheless. I choose to regard it as a great creative effort. Quite frankly though, it was a hell of a lot of work, and we of the Viking '78 yearbook staff sincerely hope you will enjoy it to the fullest, for that hope is the only compensation which made it all bearable. It was made for you, and even if you hate it, give us a smile and save us from suicide. You can be sure that it will be well taken. I thought it appropriate to present this one last bit of sanity in introduction, as from now on we begin to leave the normal world and travel into one of fantastic ideas, funny expressions, playful satire and true sentimentality — a world where creativity has not been kept in shackles. Read on, Macduff, and behold the wonderful world of GV ... Bon Voyage, and have a great life! „ , 2 Viking Annual. 1978 EDITOR Shawn Otto STAFF Sandy Pfcffcrlc Mike Oxman Amy Burmcister VIKING ANNUAL. 1978 ADVISOR STUDENT ADVISORS Gary Johnston Tom Alexander Kari Thcrncll Kris Knaeble Carol Denson Tessie McClellan Benji Briones PHOTOGRAPHY ADVISOR Roman Borgerding Lani Labellc Bob Pearl BUSINESS ADVISOR Stan Hansen Credits PAGE DESIGN The page design is an important part of the book.

For at 7:45 the very next morn new fashion trends were about to be born. As the big blue doors were swung wide open, originality is what they were all hopin.' But in came an army of jeans, tucked in boots, and multi-colored, vested suits. The soft cowcl necks and tinkling bells were met with an array of perfumed smells. Fveryone had at least one crew sweater, and all the more you possessed, all the better. Very popular were the ivy looks, which included tweed blazers — minus the books. And then, on the dressier side of it all, came in the skirt, along with the shawl. Thousands of stickpins shone in silver and gold; everyone had one, or so we are told. Yes, fashions may come and fashions may go what will come next!? You never know ...

Well, in the world of GV trivia, 248 is approximately the number of seeds in a GV cafe cantclopc, and 163 is approximately the number of doorknobs in Golden Valley High School. if you throw up your arms, and wonder why anyone would possibly want to know these vital facts, then you obviously don’t have the GV Trivia Buff mentality (knowing useless bits of information just to kick around). But if. on the other hand, you found the above information mind-boggling and provocative, here is a tidbit the teachers in the school would just as soon keep to themselves: the average age of teachers in Golden Valley High is (censored). Or how about the winter of’77-’78, when we broke the 75 year-old (close to the age mentioned above) record by staying more than 52 straight days under freezing? Finally, did you realize that in all the English. Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Art and Industrial Education Departments of the high school, there is only one full-time female teacher? We salute you. Ms. Blixt. We hope you have found this vital information about your school worthwhile. Go forth enlightened. a.

Neat shot, neat chick • • • t • • t • • • • • fft • • Another year passes Another year passes ... The leaves arc green again on the trees, with life, short shorts, and T-shirts abounding everywhere. It is a vibrant lime, with a summer of adventures ahead. But it is also a time of goodbyes, a time to take a minute and relive the memories, of the last year, for some, the last thirteen for others. Colorful trees and the smell of smoke, the first busride of the year, all the snappy new clothes, meeting familiar faces, football cheers. The leaves falling, the ground white, hot breath freezes to smoke, numb hands, cold feet, cold classrooms, warm faces. Skiing, vacation, the few tanned faces are sore thumbs, hockey slapshots, studying hard, forgetting, finals, weekend, grades. Then drip, drip, dripping and running, from icicles to pools to streams. Wet ground, mud. sprouting green spots, a light breeze blows your hair, baseball, convertibles. Macdonald’s, grass stains, auto shop, oil stains, open campus, legal or not. short shorts. T-shirts, tanned legs, tanned backs, trying to study, finals, friends, goodbyes. Another year passes. The leaves arc green again on the trees SENIORS: FINALLY HERE A farewell and an introduction Well, look through the pictures slowly. In five years, how many of these people will you have said goodbye to for the last time? How many of these students have you known since Mrs. Brewer’s afternoon kindergarten class? Thirteen years is a long time, almost eight-tenths of your life! We were here during the deaths of Albert Schwictzcr. Winston Churchill, Martin Luther King Jr. and Hubert Humphrey. While we were studying division, man greeted the moon. We were the generation that was too young for Wood-stock. War Protests, Howdy Doody and Farrah Fawcctt-Majors. Come on. admit it: it was a nice, sheltered environment. And now they arc going to let us out. We leave everything we’ve experienced: all the football games we lost, Mr. Lockwood’s unparalleled sense of humor, about 90 locker combinations, and with the toss of a lassie, a smile, and a Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, it’s “Look out world, here we come!’’ But where to now? Can a class that so desperately needed study halls survive out there? What can a cx-chccrlcadcr do for a living? Is there really life after Concert Band? In two or three years this school may not even exist. Golden Valley School System will just be another memory, like Ella and Modular Scheduling. In ten years we will still be asking “What docs Mr. Toscas do now?” and What did they REALLY put in those hamburgers? But now that we are done, after we've taken that last hideous final and have closed our lockers for one last time, arc we supposed to be happy or sad? A school is only a building, and the faces change every year. We can finally see how the nervousness of the first day of school equals the last. Can you believe it? It's all over!

SENIOR MEMORIES The members of the class of '78 arc finally high school graduates! For most of us it means looking forward to new and different encounters and greater responsibilities. We begin to take our lives into our own hands and become independent of the comfortable little world most of us have existed in for the last 13 or so years. But those years make up a portion of our lives that we should not soon forget. The time we've spent in school has been a continuous influence on our personal development and has helped to mold us into the people we are today. The last four years as high-schoolers have probably been the most important in our maturing process. We began to respect each other as individuals, and through this mutual understanding became a more closely-knit group. Back as freshmen we believed that being a senior meant having answers to all the questions but now that we’ve reached that stage all we have is questions for all the answers. When did we grow up? When did we make the trans- fer from “immature freshmen to big. wise and hopefully respected seniors from the little tots on the Meadow-brook playground to the “Big Boys and Girls supervising them — or from unconcerned adolescents taking spelling tests to nervous scholars preparing for PSATs, ACTs and SATs? At one time or another, it is believed that every high school student will say “I can’t wait until I graduate. But nearing the end of our senior year, we look back on so many memories, good and bad, and we realize that it all went by too fast. We must look ahead, however, to all the experiences and exciting things to come as we. the Class of ’78, leave behind one phase of our lives and, with a final backwards glance and smile, enter another. 30 Viking Annual. 1978 a.

This year’s juniors were plagued with an assortment of achievement tests which brought them ever closer to the reality that Commencement Day 1979 was just ahead. To some, the prospect of life beyond the sheltering niche of Golden Valley High was a challenge they were eager to accept.

What can we say, other than we’re not freshman anymore? Most of us have come to realize this fact but often wish we were back in the good old days when homework wasn’t quite this fashionable and “free mods” were common. Currently, we survive and sleep under our ‘‘Living Constitution,” which was introduced to us in American History. However, soon we must administer first aid to the minds of friends from our health class before entering jibberish geometry. Here, jokes and geometry seem to go hand in hand, angle to angle or whatever the case (or proof) may be. Lunch, while traveling through our anatomy, always receives some enchancement from the latest sophomore gossip and whatever else is presently passing through the halls. Interesting as it may seem, biology creeps into each school day, and often after lunch, becomes, oh, how shall we say it, an easy-come, easy-go issue. a.

You’re stuck at 4800 Glenwood Avenue for eight years, and you’re smack in the middle of it. This year had been much looked forward to, let alone dreamed about. Many of us were shaken into reality around May of ’77, when Harold Flolid said “Let there be block scheduling, “while grief and doom spread over G.V. like the great plague (Student Handbook, Chapter 4 Verse 6). After it was over though, we realized it wasn’t that bad, (because we had already had nine years of it). This was also the year that those close- knit cliques seemed to fade somewhat, with some students discovering sports, arts, education (education?!) while others preferred the “evil” necessities of life. We seemed to go back to some of our old friends that didn’t quite seem to make the grade the previous two years. Our freshman year did, however, have many high points. One of the most popular events was going to dances. Starting with Homecoming, the year got off to a good start. For openers we took it much more seriously, and got to go formal, which brought out the best in everyone. Sa- Lconard Bonandcr Leslie Botko Dave Bowlin Sheryl Brcitman Janine Brown Mari Burrell Karen Caiva Dcbby Capps Mike Carlson Carolyn Charlson die Hawkins, one of the wildest events of the year, was fantastic, with many frosh coming up with good costumes. Sports became more “Big League”, with many freshmen doing well in Varsity and B-squad sports. The plays were a great success, with many frosh taking part. Good parts were available in acting, set crew, and make-up. All in all it was a rewarding year. Many were surprised at the lack of peer pressure. Yes, the class of’81 will make it, whether they like it or not. 42 Viking Annual, 1978 Bob Colwell Lynette Conn Colette Conrard Claire Crosby Pam Curran [ME ROOM V KMN , m |pv bki.j, ■OF HIts I 1.1 V || B P.SKrOM II N || l sniooi i� Richard Ellison Greg Eisner Nancy Erickson Sean Foster Brenda Dahl Lisa Dante Randy Della Paolcra Christine Denson Duane Dresser Tony Drone Suzic Dunbar Tim Ekeren Dave Ellison Mike Fusskc Mike Gallagher Bev Gerdin Laura Giles Sandy Gillham Ann Gooderl Paul Graven a.

However, teachers at GVHS arc of a special breed and are deserving of much credit. Most of the time, students are more appreciative of the teachers than they arc willing to admit. To express gratitude to a teacher is not an easy thing. As our school and teachers lie in a state of uncertainty, we feel that now would be an opportune time to say thanks for all that you’ve done for us. Thanks for your help, your understanding, your advice, your opinions, your patience, and most importantly, thanks for your knowledge that you’ve passed on to all of us. Bill Anderson.

I‘)7X SCIENCE IS SYSTEMATIC The freshmen arc welcomed to science at Golden Valley High by the well-educated, jovial Arnic Hermanson. who ably leads the students through an informative year of IPS (Introductory Physical Science). After their year of introduction, the students are handed over to Bob Gibbs, an athletic, science-minded individual, and Dave Astin, a conscientious conservationist and ecologist. Together they produce an excellent biology curriculum. Beyond sophomore biology. Gibbs offers a course to seniors termed Advanced Biology that covers such topics as gcncology, anatomy, and aerobics, and Astin presents 3n alternative, or supplement to chemistry called Environmental Biology. This course explores Helds from Limnology to Pollution. The typical junior goes on to become a student of Dave Rude in Inorganic Chemistry. The class, which is run in a very organized fashion, focuses on the construction of an adequate model of the atomic structure in the minds of the student. Don Hagberg's classes arc quite a contradiction to the conservative, structured atmosphere of Rude's classes. This teacher, often clad in tennis shoes and jeans, functions more on a, close student-teacher relationship than most teachers. After his rather intense classes in Physics and Calculus, the students generally go away feeling quite comfortable with the concepts and principles that have been the climax of their years of science training. It is truly an appropriate way to wind up a healthy high school science career. a. Kathy Tchvcn drowning an ant b. Amy Burmcistcr doing her Quasimoto imitation, c. Testing for Animal Magnetism, d.

Simonson says: SOCIAL STUDIES SHUPER! The Social Studies department is neatly wedged between the outer limits of the English and Math sections. On the extreme right of this group lies the domain of Walter Kimble. His chamber is world famous, supposedly containing the long sought-after cure for insomnia. During class, Walter drifts casually about the room. ‘‘Fellow scholars, we must expand our minds. The Monroe Doctrine was not a communist plot! Do you have anthing to add to that, Jim?” “Uh, well I wou ...” ‘‘Thank you, Jim, and now moving right along_____” Next in line is the chamber of Richard Purricr. Here, one can learn the concepts of political science, among other things. Inside the classroom, the instructor cooly eyes his students. Nobody can guess what he will deliver. He begins to speak: “Okay, which one of you clowns crushed my globe!?” Further on is the versatile Tom Ben-epe. Who teaches everything from Area Studies to 20th Century Conflict. Dangling from the ceiling are scores of model combat planes. Land mines await beneath the floor. There’s even a handy gillotine model with a doll laying on the chopping block. Meanwhile, the teacher attempts to convey the concept of non-violence to his World Religions class. Next door, all is quiet: Pete Simonson has left on another expedition with his Modern Problems class, invading the Government Center. As the bus approaches its destination, he announces: “I’ve got a couple of hookers lined up for some of you guys when we arrive.” Yes, for some, it’s a boring life in the Social Studies department, but for others .... 54 Viking Annual, 1978 O.E. IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS ED! Money, skills and valuable work experience were all products of the O.E. and Business Ed. classes. They provided the students with opportunities to discover individual attitudes and aptitudes for careers. The Advisor and Instructor, Stan Hansen, motivated future secretaries by involving them in the business-simulated tasks of typing, computing, telephoning, bookkeeping and filing. The O.E. students were hired by such cooperative firms as Edina Realty and Golden Valley State Bank. They were employed on a part-time basis for minimum wage or higher. Money, however, was not the prime objective of the class. Although the average student spent ample time devoted to the program, the end result proved it well worth the effort. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Some uncommon entertainment The English department orbits in a world of its own, containing a little of everything, and if one knows where to look they can find scenes of humorous entertainment taking place at any given moment. The first thing that they might notice as they enter the stark corridor could be a nervous sophomore addressing his fellow students in Rolfe Eiesland's speech class: “I'm going to demonstrate on this Rcsuscic Annie how to perform a gallbladder operation on your own kitchen table Meanwhile, John Mossbcrg is busy introducing yet another short story to his Fiction 1 class: “and with one slash of his clay banana, Mr. Ciumby defeats the blockhead who stole his pail and shovel. After the reading, the class studies the thematic concepts of the story “as applied to the meaning of life in the context of reality . Suddenly the shreiking voice of Roman Borgerding fills the entire wing as he tries to pound some sense into his pupils. “People, we're getting nowhere! Your minds have been so polluted with commercialized garbage that 1 cannot cleanse you of your sins!!! The whole thing ain’t worth a fart in a windstorm! John Mossbcrg pauses as the neighboring teacher’s voice drowns out his own. Me bangs his heel against the wall several times. Roman Borgerding immediately retaliates, mercilessly scraping his fingernails across the chalkboard. Further down the corridor, Gary Johnston's Rhetoric students frantically try to stretch their two-page papers into five. Across the hall, Marcia Blixt’s science fiction class is in progress. A cold flow from the air vent refrigerates the unheated chamber and students take turns sharpening pencils to keep their circulation going. The teacher holds a transparent jar containing a floating blob of intertwined substances which appear to have been taken directly from a hospital operating table. 56 Viking Annual. 1978 One student suggests that it was gathered from debris in the lunchroom. Back in the hall lies the doorway to thcF.nglish office. Merc John Moss-berg, Rolfe Eiscland and Marcia Blixt spend their free time unfortunately, we can't print anything more on the subject. Finally, there’s Gary Johnston’s office. the “nerve(ous) center of the Veiwer and Viking. Mere the editors converge the bits and fragments into something that looks like it makes sense. As these brilliant students work diligently and tirelessly together in service of their school, one can hear such intelligent remarks as: “Hey. who took the knobs off the radio? , and Oh, (omit)! We did page six twice!! This, then, is our English department. To some, it’s just another set of classes, but to others a place of uncommon entertainment. a. Madly in love. b.

Ed. and Health: FOOTBALL AND FIRST AID In the early morning health class a low-keyed, sleepy atmosphere, like that of a lumberyard on a Saturday morning, is set off by a jolt as Ms. Eisingcr’s voice cuts through the descending eyelids. Students with drab expressions glance out the window at a small group huddling in the fall drizzle and wish they were out there, too. Outside, the early morning phy. cd. class shivers in the cold and splits, to Arnie Femrite’s direction, into small teams for football.

Enough to stir anyone’s appetite, Home-Economics is packed with many good tasting items. Ribs, steaks, blueberry muffins, and desserts of all kinds arc just a small slice of what the students prepare. Of course Home-Ec isn’t just for eating. There are classes for sewing, and classes for budget-conscious people. At the end of each unit, the students are tested. With all of the good things to learn (and eat), Homc-Ec is a class designed for one and all. a. My God — I’ve killed it! b. Two Vikings. Sew what. c. Eureka! I’ve found it! d.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE This year. German was not strictly the old familiar die, der, das mixed with a dash of conjugating verb tenses. It was, rather, full of highlights which stand out in everyone's minds, such as the time the entire body of German students went to the Deutsch film “Wild Duck,” with the complete dialogue in German. Most students intend to stick with German for various reasons, and those who do finish with a true feeling of accomplishment. This year. French students were expecting the same charts and lists, but they were in for a little surprise. Mrs. Minnetti was back again, with fresh ideas. Activities included an elegant lunch at I.'Hotel Sofitel and a French film (with F.ng-lish subtitles, thank heavens!). But the highlight of the year for many students will be an optional trip to France this summer. These new activities are renewing students' interest and spirit in the heart of France: the culture. a “And remember to Mtidy your werbs b. Are they really taking a test?

Bring someone with you who is already familiar with the place or it could be quite a shock. The tape recorder or the radio arc continuously playing all kinds of music; the students arc going around the classroom and talking to each other, apparently doing nothing; and it’s almost impossible to find the teacher, who blends in perfectly with the rest of the kids. One would wonder what in the world this is! It is the atmosphere that pervades the art room. Complete relaxation and freedom seem to be the best way to run this class; the students are all actively working on their own projects, involved in courses that include almost every kind of art: drawing, painting, jewelry and many others. The most important thing, however, is that Mr. Art (instructor Brad Nuor-ala) fully succeeds in the task of getting his students really interested and involved in the work of the class, making them feel that art is not something idealistic and untouchable, but something which is in everyday life and can be expressed by anyone, including the kids. 62 Viking Annual. 1978 Industrial Arts: “NUTS” WORKING WITH BOLTS ... The sounds of pounding hammers and whining saws fill the wing as one enters the Industrial Education department. Suddenly Mark l.undgren’s voice arises out of the din and interrupts the activity: Listen up a minute, gang! Now. I want these toilet paper dispenser projects finished by Friday so we can start on our new projects. Next week we’ll be making rat traps for the office. Down the corridor is the auto shop. Inside, the chamber is cluttered with school engines, stray parts and some highly sophisticated electronic gobble-degook. One student at work on a Drivers' Education car suddenly ad- dresses the teacher, Lee (iillogly: I ve taken the entire Ignition system apart and I can't find the problem! Now how do I get it back in?” Next door, in the wood shop, a new student frantically tries to glue the corner of his finger back on. where he accidently sliced it off. While this student resolves his difficulties. Mark Lundgren and Lee (iillogly slip off into their office, lock the doors, and split a quick pizza and six-pack before lunch. Who’d blame them? As the aroma of hot pi a drifts down the corridor, everyone knows it’s been another long morning in the Industrial Education department. 64 Viking Annual. I97X . a.

Viking Annual. 1978 65 Library: A Great Resource In the school year of 1977-78, the library underwent a change for the better and finally became what it should be: a place of individual education. Students taught themselves many new techniques in multiple areas this year. Skills were sharpened greatly in the new art of pen-cap battling, with many students participating in the enjoyable sport. Other students enjoyed the more subtle ways of sharpening skills and intellect which the library offers. These wonderful new arts included slyly rearranging books to special mixed-up codes without the wicked librarian catching them, and smuggling books out, more for the personal enjoyment than the awful intellectual stimulation. More technical-minded students developed new skill in the growing field of electronics by setting aside algebra books and taking out screwdrivers to disassemble the light in each study booth. Further along in the electronics line, many students utilized what the library offered and stopped pollution at the same time by using their old gum wrappers for new purposes - inserting them into electrical sockets to produce beautiful showers of sparks. For the budding artist, the library offered excellent facilities in the conference rooms, whose tables doubled as drawing surfaces and carving blocks. Yes, the library is finally beginning to fulfill its purpose: it is providing students with excellent resources to sharpen their abilities in the area of their interest. a. Swatting a fly. b. “Well, it was such a nice book that I thought I'd just kind of borrow it for a minute or two_____” c. “Na-na na-na na”. d.

Since 1970. NHS had been merely a recognition of those students with a 3.4 grade point average or above. Early in the fall of 1977 all this changed. Although the members from the Class of 1978 had been chosen because of scholarship, they made plans for the election of younger members on the basis of four qualities: citizenship, scholarship, character and service. NHS began to plan activities which were to be highlighted by the spring initiation ceremonies for the new members. The rejuvinated society’s first official act, following the election of officers, was the hosting of Open House in October. A special committee updated the constitution, and many members tutored underclassmen free of charge. They also held breakfasts and planned the presentation of an award to Golden Valley’s outstanding teacher. All worked to make NHS an important part of GVHS once again. a. 77-'78 National Honor Society, front row: Sandy Pfcffcrlc. Sarah Lundsgaard, Debbie Staack, Elisc Kushino, Biir Wisiol, Karen Murray.

CORRESPONDENCE COURSE Okay, yooz guys, lesson number eight: HOW TO CHEAT, CUT Now, as respectable criminals, you will have to know a few basic things about making it through school. First of all, there arc times when you will, for example, not want to take a test which you have not studied for. We will discuss the various ways of passing, or of avoiding, such a test. POINT A: FUN WITH DIRECT CHEATING Remember, while reading this, that direct cheating is an art. You are learning to be good artists. Practice makes the master, but also remember to be creative. Method 1: Beforehand, write up all the notes you will need for the test on a 1” by 2 piece of paper. Fold this up and insert it into a small balloon. Tic a string around this balloon, and swallow the pouch, keeping the end of the string between your teeth. Once in class, inconspicuously cough or pull up the balloon, bite it open, and spit the notes into your hand. Remember, it takes practice, so don't be discouraged if you get caught the first time; it is a foolproof method, however, when perfected. At most, administrators wil think it is a heroine balloon and will not suspect you of cheating. This may result in your arrest, but you will pass the test. If you arc arrested, remedy the inconvenience by following the simple “jail-break” instructions in lesson five of this scries. Method 2: This is a much simpler method, and therefore much more popular among our students all over the world. Simply tape the notes to your left sock, under the pants. In class, cross your legs and pretend to scratch your ankle, pulling up the pant leg to read the notes and pushing it back down after you sec what you need. This method is proven, easy and profitable, and comes with endorsements from many well-known criminal figures. Method 3: Conceal the notes and some tape in your collar before class. Walk in and take a scat in the back of the room. After the test has begun, scratch your neck to remove the notes, and then carefully tape them to the back of the student in front of you. You arc then home-free for the remainder of the class. This method comes in particularity handy if you don't happen to like the person in front of you. He will walk out with the notes taped securely in the middle of his back, sure to be caught. POINT B: EASY CUTTING TECHNIQUE Now, if you feel uncomfortable with cheating, it is understandable. You arc not yet pro-criminals and have not developed your confidence in the general stupidity of your victims. If this is the ease, merely cut the class. Afterwards, sneak in and take a quick look though the instructor's desk when the room is empty. Remove your name from the skipping list and nobody will be the wiser. POINT C: SIMPLE IDEAS FOR B.S. If you arc not able to enter the room, or if you cannot find the list, then you will want to refresh you ability to B.S. a qualified administrator. Many students practice these handy techniques on their parents to remain sharp and prepared. Method; 1: Bombard them with talk about your grades, honorability overwhelming and sincere interest in the class, and how you were locked in room 111 or you most surely would have gone. If you know a bit about AND B.S. their favorite sport, throw that in. too. It can’t hurt any. Method 2: Get another student to forge a pass from another teacher, explaining how you are a good student and were helping him with some extra work. Such student forgers are easily available, but they do cost money. We will learn this unique art in lesson nine of this series. Method 3: The best way to lie is to tell a small part of the truth and expand on that as your imagination takes you. Adapt this technique when fitting, but remember to keep it believable. Most students, for example, aren't usually held back by a private conference with the governor. Use the valuable techniques described in this correspondence lesson to your advantage. Practice them faithfully and you will be well on your way to becoming a good, profitable criminal. 68 Viking Annual. 1978 a. The easy way to get rid of someone you don’t like.

A happy student using one of our easy cheating techniques. (See cheating, method 3) c. A determined student following our excellent cheating ideas. (See cheating, method I) THE AUTO SHOP GV’S SPRING HAVEN The water is dripping outside and the huge garage door is open to the fresh spring air. An easy atmosphere fills the place as numerous student cars sit in various stages of disassembly in the back parking lot, being worked on by crews of students in jeans, aprons and rolled-up sleeves. The jovial Lee Gillogly seems truly at home as he strolls from car to car, checking the work. Then a distant roar is heard, increasing in volume as it approaches around the back side of the school. Two cars, windows down and rear ends up, roll around the corner with tapes blaring in the players and shirtless shop-jocks with Macdonald malts in the scats. Students look up from changing oil, changing tires, changing carburators, changing, changing seasons, changing years, changing customs. Same students, same life in the auto shop. It becomes a haven for many, a place where they can really achieve, a great place to spend a warm spring. a. Well Mike. I’ll prescribe something for dislocated sparkplugs. b. I’ll try screwing this one in. c. “Hey Roger, looks like you forgot to shave this morning.” 70 Viking Annual, 1978 DEC A 1977-’78 Bigger and better than ever Golden Valley DECA, Distributive Education Clubs of America, had 75 enthusiastic students this year learning things beneficial for a life in the business world. It also meant involvement in community activities, fund raisers and learning about one’s self. At home, DECA was responsible for the running of the schol store, which sold a wide variety of snacks and candy to hungry students. In the classroom instructor Bob Weber had many guest speakers who talked on everything from insurance to real estate, providing a very educational base for the club’s other activities. Preparing for the annual DECA District 3 Leadership Conference was one of the club’s main occupations. This year the conference was held Feb. 1-3 at the Sheraton Northwest. One out of 13 schools. Golden Valley was quite successful, sending 15 students to State Competition at the Radisson Downtown on April 5-8. Areas of competition ranged from job interviews, public speaking, manuals and sales demonstration. Everyone who participated got a lot out of it and should be congratulated for their fine work. a.

Viking Annual, 1978 71 1978 Band and Choir: TOOT, HOOT TO BOOT The atmosphere of a city zoo pervades the hall to the auditorium as countless exotic noises: blurps, crashes, tweets and toots compete for recognition. The mind races at the thought of wild herds running rampant down the aisles beyond the double doors ahead. But alas! It is nothing as exotic as a Golden Valley Safari. It is merely the high school band, warming up — the next best thing to such an adventure. Straying students are quickly herded to empty seats and prepared for the experience, as the first drops of music begin to fall from the threatening hour-long storm ahead. An excursion into the wild world of music begins. Unlike its counterpart. (Golden Valley’s miniature choir), the 1978 band thrived with participating students. And though it was not yet quite as ambitious as those of some larger schools, it nevertheless approached them in its spirit and ver-sitality. The future will determine how far it will go. Until then, all we can say is ‘play it again. Bill!’, and, to students, we recommend that they get their Elephant Guns ready — the audience is hushed and the Safari is about to beein One would wonder whether the voice of the Golden Valley Choir matched its mousey size. A grand total of eleven budding opera stars comprise the school’s singing elite; futile, but well-intentioned nevertheless. Their class hour was looked forward to with enthusiasm as a kind of students’ life musical. Gossip and jokes were exchanged in D-minor and one of the girls would sing her heart out upon completion of her latest piece of handiwork. Small field trips and magazine sales also filled an important void for the course, providing a kind of raison d’ ctrc, a reason for existence, to supplement the dwindling enthusiasm for song. Though they didn’t quite sing their way to fame and fortune, or anything else for that matter, they sure seemed to have a great time not doing it, and that may be what counts in the end. a. 1977-78 Band, front: Carol Domian.

Backstage of the play “CASABLANCA , Arab merchants, murderers, lovers and lawmen all tingled with nervous anticipation. Two months of hard work were climaxed as one shuffled out into the hot. blazing, blinding lights to fulfill his part in making the thriller the success it was. As nerves settled backstage, a card game of wink started up with actors constantly checking their make-up and stick-on moustaches, then hustling out to go on stage. These actors did a superb job, but one unexpected star of the show was the magnificent hand-crafted set. which made the atmosphere much more Casablancan. Those who worked on, performed in or attended a showing of the exquisite Marcia Blixt-directed play definitely enjoyed it. Those who missed out on the play entirely, however, well, “you'll regret it; maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life.” You’ll have to be solaced by the inferior movie version. 7X Viking Annual.

STAGE CREW Oft-forgotten excellence Even before you g“t backstage the ripping, whining noise of the buzz saw pierces the gloom of the auditorium and drowns the voices of the practicing cast. As you pass through the last steel door an interesting scene spreads before you. An old army drum rests calmly in a silent rain of sawdust, surrounded by a floor covered with wood chips and several Moroccan arches and trimings in various stages of completion. Conversation comes for the most part from some brown-speckled girls working on a large shutter. “Connie! watch where you splatter! Most other sounds emanate from saws and a hammer hacking down on nails, punctuated by an occasional obscenity when the hammer misses a nail. Thus was the humble birth of the great CASABLANCA. The set was designed and largely built by John Mosberg, Technical Director of of the play with the help of several very able students. Viking Annu:il. I97X 7 ) THEATRE EXTRAORDINAIRE.

But as far as pure entertainment goes, watching Tim Meade, as Adam, accept the apple from Fllcn Levy, as F.vc, was one of the highlights of Golden Valley's one-act play The Apple T rcc. Directed by John Mossberg, the one-act play is sent yearly into competition with other schools. The actors bravely performed their best, even though they had to cut out a few lines due to time. Because of this unfortunate editing, the play wasn't received too well by the judges Unlike past years, however, the play was not over with the end of the competition. The cast (the third member was Luca Bcrgamaschi. as the snake) put on a special, free and uncut evening performance for the entire student body. As a member of the audience, one didn't quite know what to expect But by the performance ending the actors had the whole audience in the palms of their hands Apparently the audience didn't agree with the judges that The Apple Tree was core 80 Viking Annual. 1978 HEY, BABY! a I.

The faculty and students of GVHS, previously spoiled by the freedoms and privileges of the now deceased mod scheduling, are mourning over the grave. Block scheduling, the dreaded plague, hit GVHS with considerable force, and a majority of the people affected by it came out quite upset. There were the problems of crowded study halls and long lunch lines, clogged halls and the inavailability of teachers — all widely complained about. The September issue of the Viewer came out packed with distresses about the scheduling, and when the question “How docs block scheduling appeal to you?” was asked, the answers ranged from “It's a communist Plot against the students of GVHS” to “It cramps my style.” The futility of complaining was recognized, however, and the fury soon died down. The administration made a few halfhearted attempts at getting the students’ reactions through homeroom polls: lunch periods were lengthened and the school day shortened. Most students were forced to accept reality in the end, however harsh: better a block-crippled GVHS than no GVHS at all. a. Study hall desks support artistic development. b.

This was the snowy night of the Sadie Hawkins Dance, where costumes ranged from Killer Bunnies to Fairy Princesses not necessarily of the female gender. A record-breaking gang of 100 bizarre couples did not let upcoming final tests retroact their zany fun. The band was very good although they used up quite a bit of the dance floor.

I‘ 7K S' SNOW DAZE A wacky welcome back Snow week proved to be a pleasant “welcome back” to school after a three-week winter vacation. With the devotion and enthusiasm of the cheerleaders, the activities resulted in a giant success and managed to keep the minds of the faculty and students off the frigid temperatures. A spirited pep fest began the week, followed by sliding at Wirth Park Monday evening. The faculty vs. students athletic competition provided enjoyment for all, but mostly for the students as they trampled the faculty in a friendly floor-hockey game by a margin of 9-3. The teachers and administration displayed more style and skill at the basketball game, led by Mr. Astin in scoring, but youth triumphed again as the students emerged victorious, 52-46. Also included in the week’s activities were contests in snow-sculpture and photography, the latter of which Jon Dodson won in the color category with Jim Lund taking top honors in the black-and-white division. Daily treasure hunts, dominated by Brook Berry, added excitement to morning study halls, and a few warm-blooded souls endured the sub-zero temperatures for Summer Dress-Up Day. Highlighting on Saturday night was the first annual Snow Dance, attended by about 100 students. Offering relief from the midwinter blues, the popular Snow Week will surely be seen featured in many yearbooks to come. 88 Viking Annual, 1978 pAivce Viking Annual, 1978 89 Whether straight or a little wet Parties Are A Trip!

A Viking Publication SPORTING Cross country cooks VICK, WOLD LIGHT FIRE The breathtaking sport of cross country found Golden Valley in second place behind a young Centennial team. This marked the first time in three years in which Golden Valley has not won the conference meet. The team did a great job, considering it was a rebuilding year for Golden Valley. All-conference awards were given to Jon Vick and Phil Wold. These two were also voted as MVP by the team. Pep talks and bad jokes by coach Hansen kept the spirits high. Knowing they had a good team, everyone worked hard and long. Day and night you could find the team running by a golf course, around Lake Harriet, or up to North Memorial Hospital and back. One highlight of the season was the Alumni meet. Coach Hansen sent people the wrong way, but when it was all over he was pleased. For this was the first meet in which Golden Valley won first and second place. The powerful Junior Varsity finished with a strong first place in conference. They had an off-day but still controlled 12 out of the top 23 spots. Paul Ocken finished first with many GV runners close behind. Venke Hauge started a new tradition this year as she was the first girl out for cross country. Next years captains will be Larry Brown and Lincoln Sherman. MIP went to Scott Scovel. 94 PROFILE Jon Vick Co-Captain ’77. Golden Valley’s top cross-country runner, co-captain Jon Vick, ended his senior year as a conference and District 17-A champion. “My First goal in crosscountry was to Finish the two-mile JV meet last year,” said Vick, who took up the sport for the First time. “This year I wanted to Finish First on Varsity.” He did in every conference meet. Invitationals, districts and region provided his toughest competition but he never failed to Finish in the top 10. Jon was all-conference for the second year in a row and was voted co-most valuable by his teammates. At the district meet, Jon ran his best time of 15:47. He then finished eighth at the Region 5-A meet and missed out on a trip to the state meet. Jon plans to run next year at Golden Valley Lutheran College.

Girl’s Tennis SLEEPER WAKES CONFERENCE Golden Valley tennis fans burst into wild cheers as they rushed onto the court to congratulate Amy Burmeister and Marguerite Gallagher on their Tri-Metro Conference championship. As if in suspended animation, Amy and Marguerite gazed at each other. Marguerite shattered the spell with, “Decent Amy ... decent.” Amy just grinned. Besides capturing the conference crown from Blake, Amy and Marguerite went undefeated during regular season matches and didn’t drop one set along the way. Although not as successful as Amy and Marguerite, the team, as a whole managed a respectable 5-4 record including non-conference matches. In post season action a mighty Minnetonka squad, and eventual state qualifier, overpowered the girls 5-0. Unlike some coaches, Ed Max and his assistant Bill Nelson, recent GV grad, actively participated with their team, whether it’s running one and one half miles, practicing cross-court drills or munching out at team dinners. At the post-season get-together coach Max broke all precedents when he abandoned his rigid, “no junk food” diet. That night saw Amy Burmeister and Marguerite Gallagher crowned as MVP’s, Connie Murad, genuinely surprised, as MIP and Liz Curran mildly drenched due to the initiation ceremony all future captains receive. g.

Golden Valley’s football team struggled as the Vikings dropped eight of nine games. Coach Mark Lundgren tried platooning in an effort to find a winning combination. The season opened with a double overtime defeat to favored Centennial 12-6 on a rain-slicked field. The rest of the season’s conference efforts were not as valiant, however, as the Vikings ended up winless in seven Tri-Metro games for last place. A gloomy Homecoming resulted in a 6-0 defeat to trichampion Mahtomedi and their 6-7 giant, Mike Mazur. The only victory appeared in a non-conference trip to Aitkin, where Golden Valley finished in front 14-7. After the game, Doug Bowdish, a manager, spent a sleepless night as a poacher took a shot at a cow during the night at the farm home he stayed Rain was a factor throughout the season with torrential downpours, a common occurrence in the season. The game at Minnehaha Academy was played in thunder and lightning to boot. Post-season honors included all-conference awards to co-captains Jon Dodson and Doug Dresser and honorable mentions for co-captain Bob Pearl, Brad Cleveland and MVP Kevin Lietzau, who also won the Hatchet Award as a junior. Brad Karp was named most improved player and Eric Westerman best defensive player. In individual stats, Mike Wiese finished second in the conference in punting while Karp was third best in passing. Credit must be given the team for giving their best despite battling bigger, more physical opponents. As for the future, coach Lundgren stated, “Any success we have next sea- son will depend on how much the Dlay-ers want to work.” The Vikings also will hope for assistance from the people who draw up the schedules.

This familiar phrase often echoed about the swimming pool as the Girl’s Swim Team prepared for their 1977 season. Although the chlorine stung their eyes and the icy water often sent chills racing down their spines, the girls survived their demanding training program and won 9 of 11 dual meets in the process. Their only defeats were at the hands of last year’s State Champion Minnetonka and this year’s State Champion Irondalc. The Vikings left a mark wherever they swam, smashing a total of 29 pool records around the state. “Wet and wild, like our girls.” According to Coach Gibbs, this sums up the spirit of the season. The Conference Championship was picked up on the way to a 3rd place finish in Rcgionals, followed by a strong 7th place ranking at the State Meet. Heading their list of accomplishments was the first state title ever won by any Golden Valley girl athletes, brought home by the 400 freestyle relay team of Sue Biemesderfer, Katy Wallace, Andrea Ryan, and Karen Vaughn. Their time of 3:43.39 marks a new state record. “Come on you guys- let’s really cruise!!!” Throughout the year, the Seniors doused their teammates with encouragement and inspiration. Although the team reluctantly must say good-bye to Co-Captains Pat Hvass and Andrea Ryan, along with Maren Hed, Lani LaBellc, Sarah Lundsgaard, and Jenny Stark, the remaining swimmers show much depth and talent. With nine returning lettermen, they are looking forward to another winning season next year. 100 Viking Annual. 1978 GIRLS SWIMMING RESULTS GV 59, Braincrd 24 GV 91, Jefferson 80 Lindbergh Relays — 2nd GV 59, St. Anthony 24 Irondalc 44, GV 39 GV 109, Blake 63 GV 50, St. Louis Park 33 GV 53, Virginia 40 GV 106, Aurora-Hoyt Lakes 66 Minnetonka 104, GV 68 GV 100, Rochester Mayo 72 GV 46, Mounds View 37 Golden Valley Invitational — 2nd Tri-Metro Conference — 1st West Metro Regional 3rd Minnesota State Meet — 7th a.

But the number of new and returning players who did endure the rigorous conditioning and endless skill drills made this season an exciting one. The season started slowly, but the girls managed to iron out their problems in time to defeat the highly ranked Minnehaha team — It also proved to be the turning point of the season. Their final conference record stood at four wins and three losses, putting them in third place. Golden Valley also attended two tournaments this year — one held at Braham in which they placed fourth and the other at St. Anthony. Captain Darcy Eggleston found it difficult to find space for her numerous awards, including Most Valuable and All-Conference, both for the second consecutive year. Next year’s captain Tracy Hodgson was also voted All-Conference. Jill Murphy (better known as “Farrah” to her teammates) received the Most Improved Player award.

Viking Annual. 1978 103 Viking Hockey 78: A hard season with a JUNGLE IN THE STANDS By our roving Adventure writer Picture yourself in a wild and very exotic jungle, with rhinos, gorillas and screeching parakeets a part of the myriad of confusion surrounding you in the dense green foilage. Suddenly in your listless wandering you come upon a path, and begin to follow it. The jungle growth soon opens up before you and you find yourself entering a huge arena where, behold, there arc creatures playing hockey! Many of the jungle beasts are gathered there in the stands, watching intently, and making their respective animal noises when appropriate. Suddenly one of the players is unexpectedly elbowed by a member of the opposing species and goes down hard. The jungle erupts around you; elephants scream their protests and gorillas become excited and pound on each other’s head The parakeets are running off the standard criticism of all the other animals, while a cow is madly ringing her bell in support somewhere off to the right. A second later the head elephant blows his trunk off to signify the end of the game. The cheerleaders, like female tarzans. lead the wild stampede to the rink. You turn to get out of there and a bungling rhino grins at you and steps on your foot. You sink back to the bench in pain. This can't be real, can't be real, can't be You wake up in a cold sweat, relieved that it was all just a bad dream. Or was it? You reach down to hold your throbbing foot Such was the atmosphere of GV hockey, as the Vikings lost their first six games before finally notching a win. Although the scoreboard seldom showed it, they played quality hockey, a fact which they proved by taking “first” for the second year in a row at the Lakeville tournament. The Vikings' season ended with two wild games in Section 5 playoffs Tom GillhanTs hat trick sparked a 5-4 win over Minneapolis North before Brcck nipped GV 3-2 to end the safari.

The few who were fortunate enough to see the Golden Valley water polo team in action know the sport is fast-moving and somewhat addicting. This year, several swimmers from Cooper High School practiced with the team, learning the secrets of Golden Valley’s success at the sport. The team's almost no loss record can be attributed to Bill Miller’s superb coaching and alot of dedication on the team’s part. One of the few games lost was the first game, when a powerful DcLaSallc offense out-scored them. At the state tournament Golden Valley won five and lost one to finish second again to the mighty DcLaSallc team. Outstanding contributions were made by Roger Skarc, Jamie Novak, Mike Montgomery, Tommy Alexander, Paul Cording, Jim Botko, and Steve Miller. Although water polo isn’t as big as football or even soccer, it is only a matter of time until the masses realize what they’ve been missing. 106 Viking Annual. 1978 1978 WATERPOLO RESULTS REGULAR SEASON DcLaSallc 7.

Yet urged by win-hunger, the struggling team eventually digested a meal of success by winning their last three matches. A clanging scale summed up the growling stomachs and solemn faces at weigh-ins before the match. The hour of combat finally arrived. On a sweat-laden mat each Viking wrestler battled a matched opponent. Personal victories were rewarded by a symbolic daiper pin from the cheerleaders. Co-captains Doug Dresser and Richard Kantorowicz led the team through three months of hard work: despite the valiant effort of 29 brown and gold fighters, Golden Valley placed sixth in conference.

The scene unveiled in a locker room at Dc La Salle High School where the Golden Valley boys basketball team was ready to take on No. 7-rankcd De La Salle in District I7A second round tournament action. Tension filled the air. Most players either fidgeted, loosened-up or stared blankly at the lockers. This was the sudden-death type of game the Vikings had survived in a two-point win over Rockford in the first round. No one was ready to accept the idea that the season would end tonight. Not that the schedule was anything the Portland Trail-blazers would take credit for. Frustrated with losses to second-division teams, the Vikings posted a meager 4-10 Tri-Metro Conference record for seventh place. Game time neared as Coach Ed Max delivered a speech that pul lumps in everyone’s throats. Then co-captains Mike Montgomery and Phil Wold shouted “Let's go! and led the team onto the court. Playing an inspired game. Golden Valley gave the Islanders all they could handle with some spectacular shooting. Montgomery hit with deadly accuracy while Wold ran the offense. Bill Peters muscled in for key baskets and Tim Forsberg cleared the boards. Though the team lost 53-49, it was a moral victory for the Vikings, who return six let-termcn next year.

The girls, with proficient skills and superior psyche, produced many a victory, most of them by an overwhelming 20 points. It was not merely a season of records, but one of impressive records. Freshman forward Chris Denson claimed the individual scoring honor for herself by bucketing 31 points in a game against Centennial. In the same game the Vikings also set a team scoring record of 78 points. The Vikes didn't need Centennial’s help, however, to establish other records as they dominated the Tri-Metro conference with their height, rebounding finesse and shooting touch. They compiled a 13-1 conference record. including an exciting 56-54 victory over arch-rival Marshall-U High and an overall record of 14-2. The largest feather in their caps, however, was tying for the Tri-Metro conference championship. As expected, the girls didn’t let it go to their heads and run around screaming “We’re No. I! We’re No. I! Instead they sang “We arc the champions and settled for We’re No. 12! (On Feb. 21. the Mpls. Tribune published their unofficial ratings of girls’ high school basketball teams and listed GV No. 12 overall in the State.) According to coach Richard Purrier, “This year is what it is due to everyone’s all-around improvement, thus lifting the scoring burden GIRLS’ BASKETBALL RESULTS Opposition GV Opposition GV Washburn 24 49 Minnehaha 26 69 Minnehaha 33 50 St. Anthony 32 59 St. Anthony 35 51 Brooklyn Center 32 60 Brooklyn Center 45 64 Mahtomedi 39 75 Regina 43 30 Blake 32 53 Blake 17 42 Marshall-U 47 38 Centennial 33 64 Centennial 62 78 Mahtomed 25 64 Marshall-U 54 56 from one or two people. Another factor was the abundance of team unity, which was readily demonstrated by the dozens of inspirational posters plastered to the locker room walls, the newly acquired mascots, and the addition of Earth, Wind and Fire as a coaching aid.

Paul Cording also broke many pool records in the 500 freestyle, including Terry Alexander’s in the GV pool. Because of the team’s small size, they looked forward to state competition where it is quality not quantity which counts. Defending champ Cording planned on another first in the 500-frcc. and had a good shot at the first in the 200, but he had to look out for Jamie Novak, who pressed him in the 200 and looked to place high in the 100 free. They also led the powerful 400-frecstylc relay to a high finish. Tom Alexander picked up important points in the 100-brcaststrokc. With more point contributions from Rodger Skarc and Jim Botko, the Vikings had no trouble placing in the top ten. With the graduation of half the already small team, it looks like the end of a powerful swimming era in Golden Valley. Bill Miller is the only GV coach to win a state title, which he did twice, but because of declining enrollment and diminishing interest in swimming, the team appears too small to make a comeback into statewide recognition. 1978 BOYS’ SWIMMING RESULTS Irondalc 47, GV 36 Rochester Mayo 55, GV 28 Rochester John Marshall 103.

With 34 varsity and six B- squad positions to be filled, one would expect a large crowd for try-outs. For the six available wrestling spots, however, barely six people tried out. But the few cheerleaders there are in every sport continuously showed their pep and spirit. Backed by the soft-spoken Renee Eagles, the cheerleaders put together the successful Homecoming and Snow dances, along with many other school activities. Through all of the cold, bare legs, the feeling of defeat when the team loses, and the long hard practices, a smile or a quiet “thank you” from one of the guys made it all worth-while. a.

Paul has a very unique style in the water, which has won him many races and honors, of which he is very proud. He glides across the water effortlessly, giving the impression that little energy is being used. Paul is constantly pushing himself, trying to improve his times from before, hoping to set a new school record. He has been swimming for seven years and is planning on swimming during his college career. Paul recalls the state swim meet as being the happiest and most rewarding event of his life. He said that he really had to concentrate and keep his pace constant at all times during the meet, which really showed in his times. Paul's other interests include mathematics, waterskiing, downhill skiing, backpacking, skin-diving and sailing. Darcy Eggleston Darcy Eggleston could be called the “Golden Valley High School Achiever because of her ability to receive every imaginable award. She has enough MVP, MIP. and All-Conference awards to fill a showcase of her own. She excelled at all of the sports she participated in. They include volleyball, table-tennis and track. Darcy is an extremely dedicated person and is definitely the hardest worker any coach could hope for. Her sincerity and outstanding leadership made her an excellent captain. She is an essay in perscrverance and understanding, as well as an excellent example with her enduring dedication. Her athletic career was. much to her delight, commended with the Athena Award, given only to outstanding female athletes. Mike Montgomery Whether hurling fastballs or curves from the pitcher’s mound, sinking an outside shot on his way to a 35-point game on the basketball court, running a grueling cross-country race, or bobbing up and down frantically in front of a water-polo net, Mike Montgomery is an outstanding athlete. During his high school career, Monty has accumulated three varsity letters in baseball, two in basketball, and one each in cross-country and water-polo. All-conference honors have been showered upon Mike for the past two years in basketball. As a senior co-captain, he was selected the team's M VP. As a junior, playing shortstop and pitcher and leading the team in batting, he was voted an Honorable-Mention and All-Conference award. Although he is most able on land, his first season on the water-polo team was surprisingly successful as he played goalie impressively enough to receive an Honorable-Mention All-State. With muscles he describes as well-toned, the Clark Kent glasses he wears so proudly, a smile he describes as “Dazzling. a haircut that sticks out at the cars, and a personality as unique as his appearance, Monty has left a mark on our school. Sandy Pfefferle The highlight of my career? It has to be this year — especially basketball. I have a special feeling for the team, because we arc all so close explains Sandy Pfefferle. This quote characterizes her participation and enthusiasm in athletics. Her teammates recognize this trait: she has been a captain many times. Noted for her aggressive defense, determined hustle and accurate passing. Sandy has been the natural court general. But Sandy has worked at her athletic skills trying to constantly improve her ability in all areas. In her first three years of high school, she played tennis in the fall, but decided in her senior year that she would try volleyball. Her versatility as an athlete prompted a remark from her volleyball coach: Not only is Sandy an excellent athlete, but a real brain too! Excellent is the word that sums up all of Sandy's activities in her high school career. 116 Viking Annual, 1978 THE ANNUAL SUMMARY OF THE YEAR’S ADVERTISEMENTS FROM THE VIKING’S BUSINESS DEPT.

Yearbook Advisor Viking Annual. 1978 123 124 Viking Annual, 1978: HOW A YEARBOOK IS MADE The leaves were already turning brown on the ground in late October when the Viking Annual, 1978. was begun It had changed responsibility from Shirley Bechtel to Gary Johnston and had a late start Prospective staff members were hustled on to an all-day seminar at the U of M, where they learned just what a page layout was. among other things, and went home with visions of copy sheets dancing in their heads. Viking '78 was going to be the best yearbook Golden Valley had ever seen! The staff was finally organized lor the long job ahead and began their regime with the momentous task of choosing a theme for the book. It was a novice group, but they had a lot of spunk, daring and creativity. By the time Winter Break rolled around they had said goodbye to half the staff, who graduated early, had aquired two new members, and had gotten the hang of yearbook production. Page layouts, extra pictures and revised copy littered the room Despite this, two deadlines had come and gone, both unmet, which was largely due to a lack of synchronization between photography, copy and yearbook departments. Production days lost began to accumulate. and were duly ignored when they passed a ridiculous 55. As the end of January arrived, the determined staff had nearly caught up with their elusive deadline when yet another one passed and left them 44 pages “behind once again The pressure was on. with the final deadline coming up on Feb. 27th. If it was not met. the yearbook would not come out on time By now the staff was expert in layout, copy writing and editing, and compiling pages. From what they had seen of the proofs, the book looked really good, and they used this reassurance to boost their creativity and stoke the fire to a new height, accelerating their production on the last lap to a fantastic record of over 20 pages a week. Needless to say. the book did come out on time, but this had its price, (tight o'clock days and a growling stomach became commonplace for l-ditor Shawn Otto, who set up camp in room 212. Combined with the creativity, cooperation and expertise of Sandy Pfefferle. Tom Alexander. Mike Oxman. Kari Thcrncll. Amy Burmcister. and an occasional stop-in by Carol Denson, the F.ditor’s know-how worked with the excellent photos and copy to shape the book into the great production it is. We hope that you have enjoyed reading it at least as much as we have enjoyed creating it. A special thanks to all those who contributed, whose names are given in the credits, next to the table of contents. It has been a momentous year, and we think that the book is every bit as good as the great class that Spawned it Hail. GV!
