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

The 3:30 bell rings and while some rush to their cars, others linger behind - a cheerleader stretches before perfecting her toe touch - freshmen paint the run-through sign for Friday night's football game - a senior portrays an obnoxious child in the senior play Cheaper by the Dozen - a homeroom class of 25 col- lects S100 for an elementary child's Christmas - par- tygoers spend their Friday nights celebrating football vic- tories at school dances to help raise money. Whether we were promoting new things or old tradi- tions we made the routine of school more livable. We gave our time to school making it better, making it more fun or maybe changing it a little. We're the ones who made school days - Student Life. We're Living Proof. ElkUylqalIliorpkmic,Malilal'owarjatsallR from classmate Nick Elizondo.
