Now that is a true Viking! Valhalla, the Viking equivalent of heaven, can be easily applied to our own modern society. The Vikings believed that only the best and most spirited of warriors could make it to Valhalla. Social maxims governed much of the life of the Vikings. Clothing and practiced ways in social contact and warfare were set in ritualistic patterns. In these ways, Viking culture was close to our own. Only through achieving scholastic recognition can one make it to higher education. Just as the Viking society was geared toward warfare, the scholastic world has emphasized academic or athletic achievement. Senior Steve Manley remarked, “With academic pressure at its peak, the Vikings of old may have had it easier!’’ There was much pressure on the individual to conform to the norm. Spirit was also regarded highly in team sports and club participation. This could give the individual the edge needed to make it to college. Jim Knapp pointed out, “Our great spirit and com¬ petitive nature could easily be identified with the Norsemen attitude.” Conforming to social maxims was also a large part of Welcome back! The cheerleaders opened the year on a cheery note by writing signs emphasizing welcome and good times to come. The cheerleading sqi ad played a large part in class morale and rolled-out the welcome mat in style. But you have to be on the list! Helping organize the effort to help students find their classes, Mr. Douglas Dean finds that the size of the school often dictates the amount of paperwork. In this case, the paperwork was endless. school life. Dress codes allowed for imaginative at¬ tire and many students experimented with the new-wave styles. Others kept to the preppy style or would rely on the casual look of blue jeans and a pullover shirt. Although many different styles of clothing came about last year, certain outrageous clothing was not acceptable. In this way, our patterned social structure was very much like the Viking’s set standards. Social codes and maxims of the Vik¬ ings, although applied differently, have managed to survive the test of time and change to become a strong part of our everyday life. The age-old original Viking culture has long since died out but many unmistakeable similarities linger on to re¬ mind us of our deep rooted heritage. 2 Opening

Is this my class?l Dr. Daniel Gormley found himself teaching American Studies II once again. The opening day proved to be stunning for both student and staff as the responsibility of a new year dawned upon them. “Are you sure that’s your name?” Sophomore Mickey McDade tries to obtain a copy of his schedule so that he could find his classes. Counselors often worked long hours with students to help them find their way to the correct classes. “What do you mean I’m late?” Sophomore Tim Layton looks through his 1‘ocker at the end of the day. The lockers were often hard to find the first day and many students couldn’t find the time between classes to stash books and paper away. I almost forgot what it looked like. Sophomore Gary Vanderveen steps off the bus as he arrived at school. This was the first day back after a summer break and the first few moments were disorientating in the large and intricate building. “He looks even better this year!” Sophomore Dawn Campbell talks with a friend as they met old friends in the front lobby. The front lobby was the meeting place during lunch and many people found time before school to compare notes and talk to friends. Opening 3
