Worth their weight In gold, these tro- phies symbolize dreams come true for hardworking, deserving band mem- bers. Trophies were awarded to an outstanding student from each class and for each per- formance and instrument. A trophy for the most spirited person was given as well as an extra effort trophy to the indi- vidual who gave 110% of him- self. Richland Two Superinten- dent Dr. Hap Corley spoke to the group and complimented the band on its spirit and com- munity service. Then the Com- mons emptied and another year of spring celebrations came to an end. 1981 Banquets 13

The newly initiated Senior Class Banquet, the annual Spring Sports Banquet, and the yearly Viking Band Banquet provided outlets for this urge. Eleven committee chairmen pooled their energies April 24 to produce an evening of sen- ior stuff — a senior skit, a last will and testament, and a sen- ior prophecy. Several faculty members were honored with an invita- tion, and Ricky Ricker enter- tained with a trumpet solo. Class sponsor Sherry Bailey pre- sented awards to the Out- standing Seniors and the Senior Superlatives. Viking award cer- tificates were awarded to se- lected students in apprecia- tion for work with their class. It was well organized, and the booster club should be commended. They did a fine job ' said freshman Chris McKay of the annual Spring Sports Banquet May 20, 1981. Team players, parents, fac- ulty members and coaches lis- tened as team achievements were praised. And they had lots to praise! Not only did most sports go to regional playoffs and do well, but the golf team placed first in the state 4-A competition, the tennis team ranked second in the state, and the boys track team placed third in their state com- petition. Captain awards were also presented to the following; tennis. Bill Besley, girls track, Su- zette Garcia, baseball, Kirk In- termill. softball, Karen Pryor and Diane Lovett; and golf. Bill Bowers. Pot luck meals , parents, and awards filled May 18, 1981, with true Viking Band spirit at the annual spring ban- quet. Letters were given to first year band members and a star went to the upperclassmen. (cont.)

Joy, smiles and laughter were shared by many, including Mary Ann Moser and Scott Boyd, at the Junior-Senior Prom. Send In The Clowns Tuxedos, dancers, romance, and ... clowns? Yes, clowns. Last year the junior class took a different approach in planning the Junior-Senior Prom. Instead of using the traditional ro- mance theme, they added a touch of pizzazz to the occa- sion, which was held May 15, 1981. Under the Bigtop was the theme that was carried out with bright balloons, streamers and clowns. The Russell House Ballroom on the University of South Carolina campus hosted the Prom. Adding that special touch to the evening. The Fantastic Shakers performed a variety of music. Senior Polly Nates said, It was worth spending five hours getting ready for. We deserve a break.
