1 96 vikettes ln the long run, Vikettes proved to be an asset when it came to making friends and getting along with people. There was plenty of time for good times after the long hours ot practice were finished, and Vikettes were especially good at having fun and making their own good times. Mrs. King deserved a lot of credit for the way her Vikettes turned out. She was a hard sponsor to have because she demanded perfection and she usually got it. She was also a moral influence on the girls as well as a friend, and probably one of the most respected teachers in school. Vikettes was full of all kinds of opportunities for meeting new people, going places, and getting plenty of exposure in front ofa wide variety of people. Shyness was easily overcome as excitement took its place. Other schools such as Leander got the chance to see the Vikettes perform, and they were well known around Texas as one of the best dance teams. For the girls involved, and for the people who got to see them, Vikettes was a truly rewarding experience.
