It’s hard to believe that all of our deadlines have passed. All pictures have been printed and pasted up, and all copy set. Our volume of the Inglemoor Scandia is complete. It all happened so fast. We are happy to have had the opportunity to create and put out a book that we can be proud of. but it wouldn’t have been possible without the encouragement and help from friends, families and everyone else involved. We were lucky enough to have two great advisers, Mrs. Lynda Watson in our junior year and Miss Julie Palm in our senior year. Both were more than advisers, they were friends as well, and the result of this book is what they have taught us and helped us to accomplish. We would like to express our gratitude to Jim J. Palm for our reflective cover picture, to Stefan Jayne for sharing his talents and coming up with such great Viking sketches on such short notice, to Polly Corwin and Denise Schmidt for writing poetry to fit any occasion and doing a great job at it, to Mr. Jim Palm, our yearbook rep., for all of his extra help, to Lori Ross who put in many extra hours working with us, to the dudes and chicks in the darkroom; with a special thanks to Miss Palm, John Joel Hubble, Nils Jacobsen and Keith Miller for their beautiful photo essay, title page, and division page pictures (pretty pictures), and to all other photogs; Pat Dillon, Brian Jovanovich, Ron Lang, Kirby McFarland, Kim Mason, Scott Newson, Daryl Owens, and Tor Stubsjoen, to Mr. John “O-Buddy” Owens for putting up with all of us, to Mr. John Ulsund for being so patient with an obnoxious student who “used to be such a nice girl,” to Mr. Don Hedstrom for putting up with all those late arrivals and early departures from class, plus an extra special Thank-You to all the staffers for their hard work, ideas and effort. To our tremendous Business Managers, Denise Diemert and Kim Garrett, who kept us in business by selling ads and inspiring others to sell ads - we appreciate your special touches and your interest in making this the best Scandia ever. We worked toward the goal of making this a unique book with a different format and a Viking touch to bring it to-a close. We hope you enjoy this book now as well as when you reflect upon it in future years. We thank the outrageous sophomores, the fearless juniors, and the Classy Bunch of Seniors, because without you, there would be no book. Julie Judd Kelly Sutherland D. D J.. Closing Essay 191

 The Vikings were originally members of Scandi- navian bands of sea rovers between the 700’s and 1100’s. They explored and settled Greenland and Iceland. They were a Nordic people and were the ancestors of the Norwegians today. The Vikings were adventurous people who loved war and fighting. They were skillful, daring, and the most efficient shipbuilders in Europe. Their ships carried raiding parties to most of the known world, as well as across the Atlantic to the unknown world. It is possible that the term viking came from the old Norse word vik, meaning bay or inlet. They were also called Norsemen. Northmen, or Danes. Some Icelandic sagas tell of Viking voyages to America. Leif Ericson was one of the first men to land on the North American continent. Ericson left Greenland in about AD 1000, sailing toward the mainland of America. Upon landing on the continent, he named it Vinland. The ruings of a Viking settlement that was found may be the remains of Ericson’s colony. It was found in the early 1960’s in Newfoundland. The Vikings were daring explorers as well as fierce fighters. Their exploits were more daring and colorful than any other in the Viking period. PAST PRESENT I Vikings 193
