School started early for some — our football players. We came full of hopes. But it was the year of one- point, one-touchdown losses. Instead of 6 and 2 we ended 2 and 6. Yet spirit rose, hope sprang eternal, and the busses were loaded for those final away games. We won! Memories of a sunny afternoon and a rainy niqht. It was a victory bus! Diamond leads the high spirited Vikings onto the field. 10

Sam does Dick's make-up. In the beginning was the word, and the word was confusion, and it spread quickly throughout the school. First there were schedules with schedule conflicts, then there were schedule changes, and still more schedule changes. Until, at last, things dropped into organized routine, but routine was never monotonous, and at times, not even organized. There were so many things to get used to . . . orientating the freshmen into the cycled system, and juniors and seniors into the Amer- ican Culture program. But it was not all classroom learn- ing. There were football games and pep-rallies, and the bonfire to signify the beginning of the Viking power. There were dances, too. Dances after football games, and the freshman ini- tiation, welcoming the freshmen, not just as classmates, but as Vikings. And then there was homecoming, the game (does it really matter if you win?), the dance afterwards, and the queen with her court. So many things to remember, important in many ways — for the freshmen their first, and for the seniors, their last. Mike and Vickie anchor the freshman chorus line. 9
