Just for Fun — Viking Day Competition Viking Day brought o great ideal of excitement into the stadium at Woodbridge last June. Although the day ' s ac¬ tivities were abbreviated due to scheduling difficulties, the Mr. Woodbridge Contest, the Class Tug-of-War, and the Junior-Senior Powder Puff Football Game still remained important events. The day ' s events started with the traditional tug-of-war. The freshmen went against the seniors, and the sophomores were matched against the jun¬ iors. The seniors and juniors were victorious, and then the under¬ dog juniors reigned supreme over the seniors in the final match. It sure was a great win for us, ' ' commented junior Robert Hodges excitedly. Next on the agenda was the Mr. Woodbridge Contest, where many good-looking guys were chosen to compete. Although it was a rough decision, Rick St. John reigned as Mr. Wood- bridge, and Doug Stanton was a very proud first runner-up. The last and final event was the dreaded junior-senior Powder Puff Football Game. Although the participants were girls, the contest wound up to be a grudge match. The first half was scoreless, yet not effortless as both reams came close to scoring at various times. The second half was the deciding fac¬ tor. With the seniors on the 10 yard line, quarterback Kathy Martin threw a touchdown pass, but was stopped on the extra point attempt. In a desperate last drive, the juniors came very close to scoring.
