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!

These are the best days of your life High school is a very important fac- tor in every young American ' s life. These frying, but rewarding years teach teenagers the values necessary in molding them into mature, intelligent adults. The lessons often seem to hurt more than they benefit. However, a bad experience has a trace of good in it. If pointed out effectively, it can teach one how to handle a particular problem if it ever arises again. During high school, all have had bad experiences; some more devastating than others. Characteristics of maturing include learning to cope with these times. It is also important to try new things and take the chance of a good or bad effect. When teenagers are vic- tims of the downs in life, they usually recover with little or no problem. Though sometimes misunderstood, a teenager is a truly remarkable creature. Over all, high school years are the greatest years of a teenager ' s life. Years like these will never be experienced again. Encounters like pep rallies, talent shows and beauty walks will never mean as much as the ones in high school. Learning to work with others and the lasting friendships made are what going through high school is all about. Right: Over all, high school years are the greatest years of a teenager ' s life.
