This will also be a display of the Viking pride shared throughout our entire Grand Island community, which will last for many years to come."Fundraising began in November. Kaiser believes the project "will not only embrace the pride of Grand Island, but it will also further enhance our positive school culture." In addition to running fundraisers, Student Council accepted donations from Grand Island High School graduates. On Dec. 22, alumni visited the school (on the last day of school before the blizzard and winter recess) to make check presentations. Student Council received $1,000 from the Grand Island Alumni Association, $5,000 from the Class of 2022, and $1,497 from the Class of 2021, putting the fund drive over the top in its $10,000+ goal.

The Vikings had a 7-1 record that first Varsity season and ended up in a three-way tie with Depew and Iroquois for the Championship. Dan not only came back from California for the Gene Masters Field re-dedication on September 19th, but he donated a platinum sponsorship in memory of Coach Masters and players Bobby Luther, Rich Trotter, Paul Kaegebein, Danny Carroll and Art Bascomb.
