Get Tough Big Blue Sno-Week seemed to be lacking this year in both snow and student participa- tion. But even without the snow sculp- tures and hall decorations, the Student Congress-sponsored activities continued. Wednesday was characterized by jerseys of all sorts and Blue Bibbon Day in which each girl received a ribbon during first hour with the stipulation that she would relinquish it to the first boy who made her talk. And in spite of sub-zero temperatures, a broomball game at Mill 40 took place that night with seniors coming out on top. On Thursday, hats were the rage, and Bevenge Day gave the girls an opportunity to weasle the boys out of their ribbons. Chris Larson, took 18 ribbons and Kim Lord acquired 13. Friday’s Blue and White Day was highlighted by the assembly planned this year by Julie Mauston and Scott Klein. The Pom Pon girls, majorettes, and cheerleaders all added their share of enthusiasm; VHS students entertained the audience with songs; and the coaches introduced their winter teams. Barb Graham and Steve Podpeskar were then crowned queen and king in the royal Virginia tradition, and the week's activi- ties culminated in a 11-0 hockey victory over Gilbert that night. 26 SNO-WEF.K

Christmas: A Memorable Time The prospect of Christmas vacation was all that sustained many students throughout the late fall of '76. The days between December 17 and January 3 provided ample time to celebrate life with family, friends, and rela- tives. Earning money for gifts, baking holiday treats, and patronizing brightly-lit stores occu- pied the thoughts before Christmas. Caroling, Christmas programs, and parties were held during the holidays. Others spent their time outdoors skating, snowmobiling, sliding, play- ing hockey, or skiing at Lutsen, Spirit Moun- tain, or Giants Ridge. Still other students trav- eled with friends of families to other places to ring in the New Year with relatives or to es- cape the bitter cold of winter in Northern Minnesota. But regardless of what each person did over the holidays, everyone reluctantly returned to school with good memories of Christmas vacation. 1. The Nativity scene adds a little Christmas spirit to the Annex hall. 2. Dianne Beatty finds it harder to concentrate in French class as Noel nears. 3. Skiing at Duluth s Spirit Mountain was a favorite holi- day pastime for many VHS’ers. 4 Lights decorated the main drag during Christmas time. CHRISTMAS 25
