gr. 20 Activities Winter Wonderland Winter brought out many new fur coats and plenty of new cowboy boots came into sight with the coming of winter. Activities changed from outdoor to indoor, clothes changed from cotton to wool and students changed from alive and festive to tired and sleepy. It was cold outside so everyone stayed inside and Nimitz became a Winter Wonderland. During December, Christmas spirit overwhelmed the school. Christmas trees were changed to include wreaths and Santa Clauses. Thanks to Cosmetology, Santa Claus and her helpers spread joy throughout the halls. Choir contributed to the airy feel- ing of the holidays by singing Christmas carols during lunches. They also performed the Messiah with other schools in our district at Aldine Senior High School. Magril Elementary students per- formed their annual Christmas show in the auditorium to further fill the halls of Nimitz with the Christmas spirit. After the holidays, fund raising activities began. Several of the money making projects included selling mugs, popcorn, and candy, as well as showing movies and giving dances during club day. Money made from these projects would go to the annual banquets tnd future activities of the clubs. A major event that plagued the national scene during 1981 was the hostage situation in Iran. The 52 hostages and their families received a belated Christmas present on January 20. After 14 months of captivity they were released from the Iranian captors. Their arrival in Washington was a time of rejoicing throughout the nation and will never be forgotten. February was the time for love and senior excitement to over- come the student body. I.C.T. sold carnations and the honor Socie- ty sold candy, gag-gifts and stuffed animals. All of the Valentine goodies were distributed to sweethearts and friends before the sixth period dance that was held in the gym.
