NWWWQUM undraisers, picnics, parties, and pep rallies helped boost the spirit of underclass students and prove their support for Nimitz. Seniors held their usual reign, but the juniors gave them a run for their money. The seniors' enthusiasm influenced the underclassmen, but the individualism of the junior class set itself apart. The juniors sold t-shirts, sponsored a class picnic and had a bowling nightg pep rallies were a perfect example of their enthusiasm. They won the spirit stick with varied themes almost more than any other class. As the sophomores moved into their second year, they became more involved with their school and found the pride through signs and spirit boosters during the football season.

They wore blue and grey uniforms with pride as they went to their starting posi- tions, each uniform proudly stating Nimitz Vikings set off by a number proclaiming the uniqueness of the individual. Athletic pride is a trait that many schools have, but ours was more than just protecting our names because our ability was representing our school. Long hours spent in practice for that big game, meet, or match proved devotion in itself. It dealt with personal dedication from each member. Teams pulled all the in- dividual talents that each player possessed together to try for the ultimate goal of winning. Besides participating athletes, our supporters were the core of victories. Having a whole section cheering for a player enabled them to run harder, swing quicker, and jump farther. Athletes were not at their highest potential unless there were true Vikings on the other side of the fence letting them know they could do it. Other school uniforms may be blue and grey but Nimitz Vikings is our exclusive label that was worn with our own brand of style. l 7 al ,X ? if 1' 5,3 ' ami 1 2 Here's Proof
