Working at various jobs pro- vided many students with valu- able experiences that will greatly aid in their futures. Whether working in grocery stores or hospitals, they learned a lot about life. Many students worked through coo- peration with the school place- ment programs, but others found jobs on their own. The experiences they had contri- buted to their future lives, edu- cation and employment. The money the students earned went for many pur- poses. Some students worked to help support their families, while others saved their money for school, clothes, or a car. Students learned to handle their money and the rules of the banking system, as well as the value of the dollar. Along with a job came a lot of responsibilities. Trying to keep up with homework and a job required a lot of self disci- pline as well as limiting extra- curricular activities. The har- dest part of working was saying to dates parties, get togethers, and television, No, I have to work!', Although working had its ups and downs, it was a great step into the future for the stu- dents of N.C.C.H.S. Students supported themselves, learned responsibility, and acquired self discipline. All of this helped students to become pre- pared for the real world and its problems.

'Mg' It was the gray Sunday morning of No- vember 4, 1979, seventy to eighty Islamic students invoking the name of Irans Aya- tollah Ruhollah Khomeini stormed the United States Embassy, overwhelmed its Marine Corps guards and took some 60 Americans as hostages. Their demand: surrender the deposed Shah of Iran, cur- rently under treatment for cancer in Man- hattan, as the price for the release of the American hostages. This began the 444 days of captivity for the hostages. Several days passed after the siege and from what was known the hostages had been humiliated but not harmed. Howev- er, with student demonstrators chanting L I MIM Death to America , there was no assur- ance that the event would not have a vio- lent ending. Fifteen days after the take over on No- vember 19, Ayatollah Khomeini ordered the students to release the five women and the eight blacks that were being held cap- tive. The release of these thirteen hostages came with mixed blessings to all the fam- ilies affected by the Iranian crisis. The joy and relief of those released was tempered by the fearfully message they brought out about their Iranian captors. It increased the worry of friends and relatives of those Americans still remaining. Meanwhile, the deposed Shah had com- pleted treatment for his cancer in Manhat- tan. During his recovery period, United States officials were searching for a coun- try that would take in the Shah. On De- cember 15, 1979 the Panamanian govern- ment was persuaded to shelter the Shah. The days No real progress was made and the hos- tages spent their first Christmas in captiv- ity. Then in February, with the greatful help of Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor and his staff, 4 United States diplomats and 2 of their wives escaped from Iran. The six Americans had hidden until the Canadians arranged to help them to leave. Also around this time, Kurt Waldheim had gone to Iran to talk to the officials, but due to threats on his life by the Iranian public, he returned to the United States. The United Nations sent a commission to Iran to see the hostages and to check on 4 I them. The commission tried to gain the release of the hostages by attempting to talk to the Iranian officials. This plan was not a successful one. On March 8, 1980, the militant students handed over control of the hostages to the Iranian government. This marked the 126th day of captivity for the American hostages. Two days later, The Shah went to Eygpt because of Panamanian plans to arrest him and return him to Iran. A secret rescue mission named Opera- tion Blue Light was being planned in t Il .A -.-,.-' 'ly ..-F is . ii' . g - 1 w i , ,k, , ..-, ,.,,. K , VK K ,.kV V. ily, W- 4 4 rta ...t .ff-f-N -'1' . .
