Henjum, opinion editor Not pictured: L. Kelting, photographer One of the Viking Roung-Up staffs main goals this year was to produce a new and better style school paper, and to tie every activity and every individ- ual in school together throughout the year, no matter how dissimilar. I feel we’ve accomplished this by the use of art work, opinions, write-ups, inter- esting articles, feature stories, etc. All of which made you read to find out what was happening and who was be- hind it. The amount of work put into just one issue is unbelievable. The paper starts with investigative report- ing, goes on to editing, typing, re-edit- ing, and several layout procedures, long before the student body ever sees it. I would like to give much recogni- tion to all persons who were involved in this year’s Viking Round-Up and who made it a success. But even more, I would like to thank you, the students of PRHS, who made the whole pro- gram possible through your support. Pam Hovland Editor LETTERWINNERS Row 1: J. Ellingson, D. Grefsrud, W.

FFA: LEARNING, DOING, EARNING, LIVING, SERVING The Future Farmers of America (FFA) has lived up to its code—“Learning to Do, Doing to Earn, Earning to Live and Living To Serve”—since 1946. This club has sponsored fruit sales, Donkey Basketball, paper drives, corn drives, and FFA week as well as taking part in state and nationwide activities such as judging contest, speaking contests, etc. There are four degrees that a member can attain in FFA. All newcomers are at the first stage—Green Hand. After the first year, one may become a Chapter Farmer if one invests $100+ in a farm project, a State Farmer if one invests or earns $500+ with a farm project, or an American Farmer if one has invested or earned $1000+ with a farm project. Such a busy club must have efficient and organized leader- ship. The 1977-78 FFA officers were Allen Westby, Presi- dent; Kurt Aakre, Vice-President; Mary Tollerude, Secre- tary; Debbie Nodsle, Treasurer; Shanna Perala, Reporter; Tony Vigen, Sentinel; Joel Aakre, Historian; and Mr. Joerger, Adviser.

Among other projects this year, it sponsored the popcorn stand, speak- ers for the new athletic field and the Homecoming Coronation ceremony. It capped its achievements by attend- ing the District Student Council, where it won the office of Secretary. Some- one from the Student Council next year will be elected to this job. Lead- ing our Council this year were the trio of Robi Jaeger, President; Lisa Kelt- ing, Vice-President; and Lynn Kelting, Secretary-Treasurer. AFS The American Field Service Club (AFS) provides social activities for our foreign exchange student. Among their activities were Pumpkin Carol- ing and party (including “pumpkin- ized Christmas carols), an Oriental din- ner, a bowling party, a potluck dinner, and an ice skating party. Leading the AFS were an Executive Committee consisting of Karen Carl- son, Robi Jaeger, Jodi Hailstorm, Nik- ki Sorum, Vanessa Lee, Yoshie Yam- auchi, Mary Solien, Carol Solien, and Ms. Siewert, adviser.
