Just one of the many lunch items, this spinach is spruced up with a wad of gum. Playing a big part of the 1980-81 school year was Student Life with people involved in after- school activities like plays, prom, intramurals, and graduation. The students gave up their own free time to share with others their performances and efforts they put out. For the dramatically and musically inclined stu- dents there were plays and a musical in which they could participate. Those who wanted to present a skit or sing, signed up for the annual Viking Vari- ety show. Keeping the juniors busy in the spring, was Mrs. Hull, who organized those on committees to make the Seniors last prom a memorable one. The people who liked sports but not the competi- tion, played intramurals, with two girls teams, five boys teams, and one faculty team. Under the close supervision of Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Makula. these star athletes tried not to get killed while at- tempting to play basketball. Getting used to ruling over all the underclass- men was hard for the Seniors to give up. But when graduation came around, they were proud to re- ceive a diploma. Many were going on to college, but for those who weren’t, they wondered what lay ahead of them in the future. To fill up their extra time, students got involved in Student Life events, and showed that they can work and still look good together! 4 Student Life Shelly Stokes

CRUISERS RACE HOT ROD CARS Parents who are sick of their bored kids should let them cruise in the sum- mer or fall on a Friday or Saturday night. This summer at McDonald's was where the cruisers spent their time. Con- gregating on the lot, sitting on top of cars, listening to the radio, and talking was the scene passersby saw. Even though McDonald's is in Warsaw, friendships were made between archri- vals Tippecanoe Valley and Warsaw. In the fall there were football and bas- ketball games, so afterwards cruisers flocked to Warsaw or Rochester to cele- brate. Sometimes after a loss it was rubbed in, but after the joking wore off it was soon forgotten. So when the first snow came, cruising was cut dow n until warmer days, even though some cruisers participated in snowball fights and win- ter activities. As the wintry days wore on, many cruisers anticipated the summer nights to come so they could once again hot rod their cars and cruise! After a girls victory over Argos, Brett Cumberland chows down while Mark Smiley poses for the cam- era. Playing camera shy in McDonald’s arc Keith Paige and David Reuter. While the Big Mac is being shoved into Mike Wag- oner’s mouth, Todd Stokes backs away so he won’t get food spit on him. 6 Cruising Shelly Stokes
