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. On the 30 yard line, junior quarterback Lisa Carter threw an intended pass to teammate Lynn Smith, but it was unfortunately intercepted by senior Roni Winkler. The game was over, and the seniors reigned victorious. Viking Day is a very special time in the school year because if allows for competitions be¬ tween the classes, boosts school spirit, and produces a lor of fun. Please don ' t hit mel . ..
