The presence of Victor Viking at varsity sports events and pep assemblies is a custom at Niles North: Though the Scandinavian seafaring pirate may seem like an immortal entity, there is, indeed, a student behind the beloved mascot.  “Victor Viking has been a tradition at Niles North for at least 50 years. The suit is replaced periodically, of course,â€? Director of Student Activities Caroline Benjamin said. “The students play a huge role in the future of this tradition.â€? Understanding the significance of wearing the Viking suit, its details are kept secret by students and staff alike. As the identity of the student behind the mascot must remain anonymous, the following interview will not reveal the name or grade of the student. “Assuming the role of Victor Viking wasn’t a hard decision for me,â€? the Niles North student inside the costume said. “I always wanted to be involved in school spirit, so I began acting as Victor my freshman year. Going to sports games and hyping everyone up is exciting! It’s cool knowing that the mascot has such a long history; a history that I get to add to.â€? Victor will be cheering on the Varsity football team at the Homecoming game against Maine East on October 18.

On September 24, 2019 KFC Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), in collaboration with Psyop, created the game "I Love You, Colonel Sanderâ€? on Steam.  This new dating simulator about KFC isn’t their first time using video games as promotion for the fast food chain. In the past they made a VR game and a 8-bit style game to promote the fast food chain. But this time, the game has a huge positive reception. On Steam it received a 9/10 with over 4000 reviews. To metacritic with a 50% but with much fewer reviews with only 4 reviews.  But in this game you play as a new student going to a prestigious cooking school. In the school game not only find the Colonel himself but a wide range of supporting characters. From the character's life long friend Miriam, to the player protagonis rival Aeshlleigh, to a Corgi named Sprinkles ,or as he likes to be called Professor Dog, who is the main teacher.  Once you get near the end of the game there are multiple endings to the game which I will not spoil you. If you want to find all the endings you can find “I Love You, Colonel Sanders!â€? ​on Steam for free.Â
