On October 31, 2012,
Halloween wasn’t the only thing that
Huffman was celebrating. The Huff-
man High Youth and Government
conducted a mock presidential elec-
tion. The entire student body partici-
pated. “Why are we doing this and it
doesn’t count?” said a student. This
mock election was a good experience
to see what our school thought about
the election. Ultimately, it was a
huge success with the candidate
Barack Obama as the winner.
Almost a week later the
real election took place on November
6, 2012. We found out that the
school favored
Barack Obama as
president, but we
had to see what
America thought.
The winner would
be based on the
candidate’s stance
on different issues.
“Marriage is meant
only for a man and
women”, said Gov-
ernor Romney, seeing that President
Obama supports gay marriage.
On November 6th the
American people voted to have
President Barack Obama back in
the white house. Each candidate
needed 270 electoral votes to win.
President Obama exceeded that
number with 303
electoral votes
while Governor
Romney had 206
electoral votes.
This was all
before Florida
could be count-
ed. The Ameri-
can citizens have
spoken, and our
president--
Barack Obama--will serve another
term. The American people have
spoken—four more years.
The Iron Bowl: Who Ya Wit—War Eagle or Roll Tide?
By. Aaron Walker
Auburn and Alabama fans were
you ready for the Iron Bowl? I know you ran out to get your jerseys, hats, socks, shoes and more out.
This epic rivalry was a good game to stay home and
watch with my family. Who did you root for this
year--the back to back National Champions,
Alabama or the under dogs, Auburn?
The National Champions Alabama
had an intense defense and a sensational offense but
their major upset loss to Texas A&M showed that
they could be brought down with the right attitude
and team work. Alabama played hard this game and
a lot of people thought they would come out with the
win, but Auburn had a lot to prove. This game was important to both colleges. Before the game, fans
wondered, will the game be another upset to
Alabama or just another expected loss to Auburn?
Alabama has a big head on their shoulders, but will Auburn have the
intense defense and the same bag of tricks as they did two years ago to take them down?
Auburn has definitely
been in a slump this year without a
doubt. The team’s 2-7 record showed
that they were an easy team to beat. As
an Auburn fan, I kept thinking about
how Auburn has always been a team
with a bag of tricks. Though they have a
team of freshmen, they played their
hearts out. So on behalf of the angry
Auburn fans before this game, there was
still some hope for them. Both teams are
National Champions and wanted to win
this game. Bama fans saw this game as
another win for them. Auburn fans for
the most part didn’t even want to see the
game.
So, after the Thanksgiving turkey was merely bones, and Black Friday was a small memory, I tuned in to the
Auburn-Alabama game. This game promised to be full of surprises.
I got my food ready and was prepared to see a good game. To my
fellow Auburn fans, you will understand this. While I was dressed
head to toe in my Au\burn gear, I prayed for my team to win, to
keep their heads up, and to look forward to a better season next
year. However, at the end of the game, I was deeply upset and
disturbed. Alabama became the SEC Champs yet again.
Alabama Rolled Tide all over Auburn. They lead
the game from the beginning all the way through to the end.
Alabama triumphed over Auburn with a score of 0-49. Alabama
won again.
The American people have spoken, and our president-- Barack Obama--is here for another four years.

10. Do you have a different sets of
friends just so you can go around
and talk about them to your other
friends?
If you have answered yes to any of
these questions, then you are faker
than the dolls who sit on store shelves
waiting to be bought. Do your
“friends” a favor and befriend some-
one else- “Fake Barbie”.
Dear Vikki,
I am currently going through a complicated phase
where the boy I love is in a relationship with another girl. He
swears to me that he loves me, and I believe him. However, other
people seem to disagree with what I’m doing. Can you help me
by giving me advice on whether or not I should let other people’s
opinions affect what I do?
~Miserably in Love~
Dear Miserably in Love,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news and all, but he
does not love you. I don’t even think he likes you. If he is dating
someone else and talking to you on the side, he’s playing both of
you for the fool. Now, I have a question for you. If you know he
has a girlfriend and you are “talking” to him anyway, what does
that say about YOUR character and YOUR self-esteem? Don’t
go to the light! Come back! In the words of the lady on the movie
The Help, “You is smart, you is kind, and you is important.”
~Vikki~
Dear Vikki,
I like this guy and we’re talking, but he and his
best friend are now dating. She knew we were talking. What
should I do?
~Nice & Confused~
Dear Nice & Confused,
If he is talking to you
while he is with her, then what is he
gonna do when he is with you? The
same thing! He don’t like you! He
like what he can get out of you. To
answer your question, move on to the
next! In the words of Sweet Brown, “
Ain’t nobody got time for dat!”
~Vikki~
Dear Vikki,
I have a huge crush on this guy. Every
time I see him, I get butter flies, and I don’t know what to say. I
really want to tell him how I feel about him. Can you PLEASE
help me.
~Innocent Lover~
Dear Innocent Lover,
It depends on your personality. If you are shy, you may not want
to approach him. However, if you carry just a little bit of swag, I
would ask him to exchange numbers. It is 2012, guys have the
same feeling of rejection that girls have. They don’t want to be
rejected any more than you do. As for me, I would pop my collar,
hold my head up, and the next time I see him I would say,
“What’s up wit dem digits?”
~Vikki~
Dear Vikki,
I have a friend, and she is
in a relationship. However, she likes a
guy at her school and they flirt all the
time. What should I tell her?
~A Friend in Concern~
Dear A friend concerned,
Long distance relationships sometimes
don’t last especially when one of the
people is not a dedicated partner. It does not sound as if your
friend is dedicated to the long distance relationship. It sounds as
if she has an ugly case of the “grass is greener” syndrome. I
would suggest she get rid of Mr. Long Distance. (Let’s face it he
may be doing the same thing she is doing.) I would date someone
at my local school.
Also, she better watch out because this guy at her
new school could be listening to too much R. Kelly—I’m a
Flirt—and he may be playing with her emotions. Regardless, I
would definitely get rid of Mr. Long Distance. He might listen to
R. Kelly—Trapped in the Closet-too. Since I know I listen to
Jasmine Sullivan, I would let him go before I have to sing the Lil’
Kim, Lil’Wayne, and T.I. blues.

In this land of opportunity we are very rich—rich in love, rich in health, rich in knowledge, rich in wealth. However, we forget that everyone is not on the same socioeconomic status, and they are not as fortunate. Thank you football team for taking the time to reach back and help others that are in need. I challenge all Viking Voice readers to make a difference in another person’s life by volun-teering, donating goods, donating time, reading to the elderly, etc. You CAN make a difference in the lives of others. Thanks for showing us how to serve and be of help to others. Go Viks!

If you miss the Lady Vikings on Fri-
day, you truly missed a treat! They put up a good
fight against the Center Point Eagles, but sadly the Mighty Lady Vikings lost the game with a
score of 6 to 35. Playing hard and doing every-
thing that the coaches instilled in them, they were

not go down that same road

By Darius Horn
First it starts with just two
wheels, one left, one right.
So close are these two wheels, Both know how each other feels.
Then comes the new wheel on the right,
It wants to fit oh so tight. There are three wheels, within this
scene, One left, one right, one in between. On the right the new wheel screams
Pick me! Pick me! Ill mend the seams!
While the left just sits and does wait,
For what it knows, to be its fate, Its old friend,
So close and near, Will be gone, with its tears.
The wheel starts to fill with fear, To lose its old friend,
So close, so near. If you do understand,
Please lend a helping hand. This wheel is lonely,
Losing its friend, Such a bond,
Can easily bend. Yes, you know that's it about you, Yes, this story is truer than true. Now I have nothing else to do,
But hope I'm not a shoo.
