Viking_Yearbook_62

Flashing down the slick hills that day, PSC's Skip Sloan and Dick Edmiston led the Viking ski team to its first victory in six years of Carnival competition. Racing Coordinator Tom Carter set the courses and arranged the officiating, and Hjalmar Hvam, a veteran Portland skier and jumper, was race referee. The University of Oregon skiied to a second place finish with Lewis and Clark nabbing third. Portland State Hostess Francie Johnson and the 12 Queen candidates were kept on the go in an endless slalom of activity that culminated at the Saturday night dance when Willy Langendoen from Clark when Willy Langendoen from Clark College was chosen the prettiest snow bunny of all. In spite of the unexpected and almost unending blizzard, the big carnival move to Bend this year was never snowbound. Warm hearted and hard working Bend people helped Carnival Directors Gary Curtis, Bruce Baer, Cal Salls and Dave Whitehead give the winter fete the momentum needed for its snowballing success. It appears that again next year all ski trails will be sloping toward Bachelor Butte.
