The first Viking Olympic games highlighted this year’s Homecoming activities. Nearly 150 students par- ticipated in the five events, which included an exciting bat-race and a knee-raising tricycle race. The “Im- perial Storm Troopers” were the over-all winners, as Senior teams dominated the Thursday afternoon games. Friday evening following a con- vincing 42-8 victory over Caston, Valley fans came in out of the rain to watch Melinda Meredith and Bret Miller become 1977’s Homecoming Royalty. At midnight, the music stopped, the dance ended, and the Home- coming festivities came to a close for another year.
