EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print captured by NCJ, we are transported back to the vibrant and spirited atmosphere of Durham University's Bede College in 1972. The image showcases a large group of students from the college, dressed as Viking invaders, proudly displaying their first prize-winning float during the university's Rag Week procession. With their intricate costumes resembling fearsome Vikings and wielding axes with playful enthusiasm, these students exude an infectious sense of joy and camaraderie. Their long ship-themed float stands tall behind them, adorned with colorful decorations that reflect their dedication to creativity. The mixed age range within the group highlights how events like Rag Week bring together individuals from various backgrounds and academic years for a common cause - charity. This photograph not only captures a moment of fun-filled education but also serves as a reminder of the importance of giving back to society. As we delve into this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, it becomes evident that humor was at play throughout this event. The cheeky grins on each student's face suggest they thoroughly enjoyed embodying these legendary Norse warriors while spreading laughter among spectators. Overall, this image encapsulates the essence of youthfulness and community spirit that thrived during Durham University's Bede College Rag Week in 1972 – a timeless testament to memorable experiences shared by generations past.
