Best No one had to tell us what the word meant. Each of us knew what it would take to be the best, and in some ways, we achieved it. We were offered more than just a chance to get a high school diploma. But getting the best education possible was up to us. Beginning Monday, August 26, we started up again. We dreaded getting back in the groove a lit- tle less knowing that we were getting our perks back. Our new one-year waiver exempted us from the legislation requiring we receive 360 minutes of instructional time each day. We celebrated the return of weekly activity periods, pep sessions, convocations, and welcomed the new eight-minute break and longer lunches. We kept the 7:50 to 2:50 schedule and the seven-period day. Whether we chose to collect a college-prep credit or enjoy a fun elective or study hall, the day with an extra period mixed with more breaks offered us the best of both worlds. Those students with the best grades earned long-awaited recognition in the new Wall of Fame. Over the summer, a glass case was erected in the commons, displaying the pictures of the top twenty-five students in last year’s graduating class and this year’s senior, junior, and sophomore classes. Outside of the classroom, sports teams earned our pride and respect. State rankings in the top twenty were abundant. The boys’ cross country team made the list in the fall, and when the wrestl- ing, girls’ basketball, and boys’ basketball teams all earned high ratings at the same time, we made history. Three teams ranked at once marked the best appearance we had ever made on the polls. Appearances weren’t deceiving when it came to our band. Looking their best in their new uniforms made the major fund-raising projects worthwhile. The members impressively managed to earn half the cost of the outfits, with the school system matching their funds. The new look with a daring touch of silver and bright gold added a spirited flare to Viking country. Here, in Viking country, we had the best times. Even with the more bearable schedule, school wouldn’t have been the same without friends. They helped the school become fun and made weekends worth the wait. There were days that certainly didn’t feel like some of our best times. But we knew not to get down, the best was yet to come. i LISA EICKHOFF AND BECKY WILLIAMS 2 OPENING PHOTO BY BARRY TEUSCH PHOTO BY LISA PFISTER
