Breast Cancer has be-

come an epidemic in the African

American community. We at The

Viking Voice Newsletter strongly

support the walkers and survivors

as we celebrate the Susan G.

Komen Race for the Cure on Satur-

day.

By. Se’Nia Robinson

As the month of Octo-

ber approaches us, we see lots of

PINK! October is known as Breast

Cancer awareness month. As we

walk and cheer on those who

have survived breast cancer and

those we have lost, lets encour-

age all women starting at the age

of 15 to do a breast self-

examination. Not only do women

have to check

themselves,

but men as

well. Men

and women

alike can be

diagnosed

with breast cancer. So, get checked out!

On October 20, 2012 in Bir-

mingham, AL at Linn Park, many women

and men will walk to support the survi-

vors and lost loved ones.

By. Darius Horn

The week homecom-

ing was cancelled and all

through the school, there were

Huffman High School students

that broke the rules. Tensions

were high, spirits were filled,

but all at the risk of home-

coming being killed.

Teachers preached

rules about good conduct and

all, but the verbal walls of

these rules would soon all

fall. Through pushing, shov-

ing and running through the

halls, hall monitors barked

out commands with no time

to stall. The question of control

got the teachers amped. They

(the teachers) fought back with

a vengeance and became the

overall champs. No one could

tell about the day to come, but

we knew there would be more

from where that was from.

They made their way

throughout the day, but

what was to come no one

could say. From principal,

teacher and student alike,

they were all there to wit-

ness change take flight.

The following day

there was a new atmos-

phere with nothing but a

pen drop to hear. The cur-

rent day triggered a plan to

deal with the student prob-

lem at hand. “What was

the plan?” some may say.

We would all find out dur-

ing that day. The plan con-

sisted of silence and walk-

ing straight to class and no

one could be caught with-

out a hall pass. This all seemed

a bit too much, but kept the

school’s order in touch.

Many may feel like

the school’s rules were harsh

and mean, but it was set up for

our slate to be clean. You see,

without the pushing, shoving

and running through the halls

the festivities of homecom-

ing would soon all call. Our

best behavior was greatly

needed, and our acts of good

character would certainly

treat it. During this time

homecoming seemed rare,

and the chances of us hav-

ing it would be by a hair.

The homecoming

woes seemed great throughout,

but many of us hoped for a

great turn out. Whether the

dream of that week all seemed

trampled, all of this happened

the year homecoming was can-

celled.

The Blackout: The Year Homecoming Was Cancelled Special points of interest:

Congratulations to the Huffman

High School Viking Battalion on

their prestigious promotions.

Booster Club by buying World’s

Finest Chocolate & cookie

dough.

Wednesday, Oct. 10—fieldtrip

to Samford University- to ob-

serve the oral argument before

the Alabama Supreme Court.

Wednesday Oct. 17—The Huff-

man Chamber Choir performs

Alabama Alumni Association is

hosting an information session

tunities.

Walk. Stop. POSE!Walk. Stop. POSE!

When on the Red Carpet as we all

know fashion is a must. As Red Carpet season

approaches us, we begin to see some of the

latest Fab Fashions. The most popular things

out at this moment would have to be Levis for

the fellas and boot cut jeans for the ladies. As

women of course we love something with a little

curve and flare. Levis have a wonderful selec-

tion for men and women. As fall approaches us

boots are a wonderful selection to keep your feet

warm and also adds style to your outfit. Fall

fashion is the best time to show off your great

fall accessories such as, scarves, hats, gloves, and

earmuffs. Fall is the time to show of your greatest

fall fashions so even you can feel like a Red Carpet

star!

Dear Cupcake Babii Pink,

As the old saying goes , “To have a friend,

you must show yourself friendly. So, be

friendly and most of all be yourself.

Dear Vikki,

I recently had my arms bitten off by my pet dino-

saur, and wanted to know if I should try to re-

trieve them or not.

Sincerely,

Jurassic Park

Dear Jurassic Park,

You don’t need arms, just go get some limbs that

have fallen out of the trees and tie them to your

body. Also, you can use the arms off of an old

walking doll. You won’t be able to bend your

hands, but you could do a mean pop lock!

V

Dear Vikki,

My so called boyfriend downs me everyday.

Cupcake Babii Pink

Dear Cupcake Babii Pink,

In my Tamar Braxton voice, “Girl you betta

get yo’ life!” It doesn’t sound as if he likes

you. Because when you like someone, you

shower them with compliments. Drop that

none factor! Find someone that matters.

V

Dear Vikki,

How do you become Popular at Huffman

High?

Laying in my bed, thinking bout my life

A lot on my mind but not a future wife

They say I have talent, they say I have skills

Well I found out what is fantasy from real

Maybe not guess I'll never know

He told me if I loved I would never let go

But those are no the words a wise man says

Those are the words of his jealous brother instead

Cause’ if you truly loved something you wouldn’t it

leave

You would fight and cry, plead on your knees

But still with her pride, her head is held high

I ain't even tripping cause she’s the one that cried

Don’t know feeling of this or if it's even really inside

Maybe the whole time I loved you I was just asleep

Having a dream pretending we had what I wanted

It's dirty how you sat there and watched as I was

taunted

to look like a clown,

Lookin’ like a ghetto

one another, but can we at least be civi-

lized and have peace? Being civilized and

having peace would really save many

more lives.

In conclusion, stop, listen, and

pay close attention. Bullying is a crime so

stay out of trouble and let’s save our fami-

ly’s lives.

By. Dewanna Curtis &

Tariah Bolick-Gross

Why do people bully? This is a

question often asked. Teens are usually

the issue with bullying. Most of them feel

that they don’t have anyone to talk to.

Some reasons why teens may

bully are because of lack of empathy, envy

(jealousy), low self-esteem, household

issues, and just because they think it’s

funny. Bullies often are the ones that got

tortured or picked on when they were

younger. Bullies feel as if intimidating

others will ease their mind. Bullying is

like a drug to the harasser, it’s addictive.

Last but not least I wish bully-

ing would stop. We’re losing our family

members and friends. Bullying is a seri-

ous issue that passes from generation to

generation. We don’t have to deal with

If you got them all correct then that’s your

bff!

If you got half of them correct, then you

need to step your game up. What kind of

friend are you?

If you didn’t get any correct, You may be a

second touchdown. The crowd

went wild! The Vikings are full of hope know-

ing that the whole school is behind them eve-

ry step of the way. As the game comes to a

close, the Vikings trampled over the Colonels

leading 29 to 12. Seconds away before the

fourth quarter ends, leaving their hearts on

the field, the Vikings take the win. The final

score was 29 to 12 which made the Vikings

the champions of the night. As the song says,

“We are the champions my friends. We’ll keep

on fighting ‘til the end. We are the champions,

no time for losers. We are the champions of the

world.”

Heartbeats racing, palms

sweaty, the homecoming game is finally

here. Huffman vs. Woodlawn, we all know

that our Viking football team is ready. At

the beginning of the game, during the first

play the Mighty Vikings are already in

attack mode. Leaving Woodlawn to take

notes the coaches already have the game

plan in

mind.

TOUCH-

DOWN!

The first

touchdown

was made

by Dedryck

Carson.

That awe-

some play put the Vikings ahead at 7 to 0.

They played hard, making tackles and

blocking until half-time leading the score-

board 7-6. Running back onto the field, full

of energy, Tevin Beal made the Vikings

A word from the Pastor . . . . .

And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with

power from on high. (Luke 24:49)

Promise is defined as: A binding declaration that gives the person to whom it was made a Right to EXPECT or to

CLAIM performance of a specified act, in other words you have a right to expect something to happen when promised.

Christ left on record before going back to heaven that a PROMISE was coming, he made it clear this promise was not by

him but by his Father. He lets them know where the promise would show up....Jerusalem and all they needed to do was go

there and tarry for it or wait for it.

Some of us have been promised something from God, understand God has to perform what he promised. In other words

your waiting is not something where your sitting idling your time but waiting is having great expectation of some-

thing happening. You are not waiting in vain, the Promise has already been spoken over your life, so in other words,

ITS ALREADY DONE...Be Blessed!
