Brian Simmons, Christine Rhoades, Carolyn Groves, Lori Lafferty, and Cara Smalley were the winners with 14 points. The Fuzzbusters, a soph- omore team, came in close behind with 13 points. The Olympics were very successful and enjoyed by all. This year our school decided to do something different. Instead of hav ing float competition, classes and clubs displayed their spirit and sup- port with banners. The classes and clubs were in separate divisions. The sophomore banner won the class competition with the theme “We're Hot Blooded, Check it and See for a Victory. There was a tie for the club division which included the Art and FFA clubs. A prize of $25 was given to the winning soph omores, and both clubs split the $25 that was given. Completing the eventful home- coming festivities, the Vikes played Whitko and captured a Home- coming victory by a gigantic margin of 40-14. The King and Queen race between Seniors is always something to look forward to Chosen as the Queen and King for 1978 were Angie Ooley and Darryl Peters. The court in- cluded Seniors Pam Hopkins . and Dave Bornmanh.
