Givin ' all we ' ve got V-l-C-T-O-R-Y. That ' s the Viking Battle Cry! The purpose of a pep rally is to get the fans, cheerleaders, and most impor- tant, the football team fired up about the game. Sometimes the classes begin to compete too much and forget the reason they all came to the gym dressed up in funny outfits, to scream at the top of their lungs. Each week the spirit stick is awarded to the class who has the most spirit. At the last two pep rallies, the spirit stick was given to the football players and then the student body as a whole. This brought the classes back together and reminded them of their purpose; to Put your spirit on top and don ' t stop, ' cause the mighty Vik- ings are R E D-H O T!

Let ' s have a parade (continued) Taking the usual route down 19th Street, the parade made a short stop at the square where the band performed and the participants greeted eager and smiling faces. The floats and cars were ranked by unknown judges as they passed through the crowded streets. Each float placed in the order of the class; senior, junior, sophomore, and freshman. There were 53 cars in the parade. Senior Jay Salter won first place with the theme Going Hawk Hunting on car 34. A model-T car, driven by senior Gary Doss, placed second. Third place was taken by car number 20, driven by senior Lance Standford.
