AfTer building up Their nerve, a few Vikas per' form a rouTine on The cafeTeria Tables while all The sTudenTs sTopped eafing in order To waTch. , V .X . 'i we.. , T' is 9 During The inifiafion, sTudenTs suddenly glanced aT a few Vika members as They sing The school song, as commanded by one of Their officers. A'fTer a long, hard day of school, Two Vikas sigh in relief, now ThaT They have accomplished Their iniTiaTion. lT's all in fun oT iusT every day sTarTed off as normal as would have been expecTed aT NimiTz. Who could forqeT The spe- cial appearance of The Clone Viking aT The fifTies-day pep rally, WesTern Day when everyone dressed up like cowboys, or even The spiriT days wiTh funny haTs, colorful socks, and sTriped Ties, YeT, probably some of The mosT hilarious days were The funefilled days of iniTiaTions. These iniTiaTions carried on by various organizaTions were a way To welcome new members To Their club. One was The Cheerleaders' iniTie aTions in which The members wore Their ouTfiTs wrong side ouT, as well as The Vikas' iniTiaTions. To Top off The Vikasi ouTfiTs, each new member wore a rainhaT. Members of The drill Team had To perform various dances from Table Tops or on sfairways. These spe- cial days made The year aT NimiTz even more exciTing and differenT. Even The Track Team wore sweaTsuiTs all day long. All in all, iT was done in fun. Laughing in embarrassment Vika Sandra Ellis Turns from The camera. x STUDENT LIFE 23
