Privileges of being a Vike - From newspaper and yearbook copy:
- Early May is the time to show our
mothers all the reasons that we
appreciate her. - The team has greatly improved it’s
hitting performance through out
the season. - Gliding towards the endzone for
the winning touchdown, the team
wins by a single point. Overjoyed
with excitement, the player jumps
up and down to show the sat-
isfaction with themselves and
then removes the helmet form
the sweaty head under it. The
crowd is simply astonished to see
the long golden locks hanging
from the player’s head. Yes, it is
a girl, you guessed right. Is that
unusual? - Charles Evans said that he and
his wife have avoided a lot of
arguments over the years by buy-
ing seperate toothpaste tubes. He
likes to squeeze the tube from the
bottom and role the tube up while
she like to squeeze from the top,
middle or any other part of it. - “Masculinity is an impossible social
role, no-one can do it adequately,”
Jenkins said. “No man feels they
can fill the impossible role.” - It seems like all of Senior High’s
losses are tough one’s, as of April
25, their only legitimate loss
was a, 8–1, defeat courtesy of
Lincoln. - “We’ve just had a season long streak
of bad luch, 2–6, is not where we
planed to be,” senior designated
hitter Scott Athy said. - “Were just not getting the two out
base hits to score the runs that we
need to win, were not executing”,
said coach Barney Cotton. - After the freshmen English class
received a letter from a freshman
in Manitou Springs, Colo., and
a cover letter from his teacher
explaining the “Great Mail Race,”
the race was on.
The “Great Mail Race” class
members wrote to the student they
received a letter from and they also
chose two towns in different states
to write to. Each student had to
write three letters and could send
one to each town if he wanted.
The students sent the letters to the
school in each town telling about
his school, community and himself.
Their teacher also included a cover
letter telling about “The Race.”
