1 Viking Spirit Soars What do you think of when you hear the word fan? Do you think of an electrical device used in the sum- mer time to keep cool? Or do you think of some crazy guy with war paint on his face, dressed from head to toe in the school colors, and yel- ling through a megaphone, “Go Big Blue”? If you answered yes to the second question you are not alone. Many people think of true fans in this way, but is dressing wild and yelling at the team a true fan? Who are the true fans of Lake- view? Is it the mother who yells and screams every time her precious son or daughter touches the ball? Is it the father who believes everything is the referee’s fault and says so? No, the real force behind Lake- view’s fans is the student body. It takes a lot of guts for a student to get up in front of a capacity crowd during a time out and start the wave. How often do you see a moth- er doing this? The true fan will stick by the team through both good and bad. Angie Allphin summed up the characteristics of a loyal fan when she said, “A true fan will come up to you after you were beaten and say, ‘Good job! You’ll get them next time.’” rv1 IWi4h'‘ Pep rallies bring out the Viking spirit in student fans. Kari Snoozy blindfolds Scott Sumner for a class competition during a pep rally. Spirit thrives in the student fan through good and bad. Brian Foral and Keith Bignell are acknowleged at a pep rally by Misti Zim- merman for their wrestling pride.

Pieces of an alarm clock fall to the floor as one tries to ignore the fact that it’s 6:30 a.m. and it's time to get ready for school. Getting out of bed is a trick, most of us lie there waiting for enough ener- gy to pull us out of bed. “Rolling out of bed at 6:30 is the toughest part of my entire day,” stated senior Becky Schmidt. Once out, the trip to the shower seems like a one-thousand mile journey. You finally manage to get there and get into the shower only to find out that the other six members of your family have used all the hot wa- ter, leaving you with ice cubes. After the shower, the one task that tests all of our abilities is to de- Madness cide what to wear to school. Many of us try on several different outfits before the perfect one is found. For guys, they are ready to walk out the door. But, for girls they must contin- ue to spend at least another hour in the bathroom putting the last minute touches on their make-up or curling their hair. After the last minute touches are done it’s time to grab a bite to eat, for many this means consuming breakfast as they drive to school. Rachel Foltz stated that, “sometimes I don’t have time to eat breakfast, so I have to skip it.” During the school year many rec- ords are broken in athletics as well as records in breaking alarm clocks. Wendy Tessendorf tediously tries to find the right outfit to wear to school. Finding the per- fect outfit to wear is a common problem among high school students. Getting out of bed is the toughest part of any- one’s day. but. for Laura Oswald it seems to be the easiest part of her day.
