'iPass me the hammer. Anybody see the tape? Who has the blue paint? Those were familiar conversations heard at the sights of the floats and cars, as committees and clubs put in many long hours to be sure everything was ready for the October 25 event. The excitement began with a rally and a parade down Main Street. Many post-graduates came back to see the events. Next came the football game against Monte Vista notching an Amador's win. During halftime, the floats and the winning car filed past the bleachers to give the people a final look before the winning float was announced. The floats themes were 'LBunny Hopping Through the 50's Seniorsg L'Our Spirit is Sky High Juniors: N77 Runs the Lineu Sophomoresg Road to the Futurei' Freshmen.

The princesses were announced first: Pam Coburn, freshmen princess, Marie Cornez, sophomore princess, Julie Hemming, junior princess and then ..... A scream from Abbie Kortan told that crowd who was the new 1974 Homecoming Queen. The other nominees were Kelly Gregg, Marsha Baine, Carolyn Reinke-Queen, Jo Thurman, Margee Ellard, Beth Bartch-junior princess, Marrianne Gellerman, LaDonna Tye-Sophomore princess, Karen Redgwick, Diane Valdix-Freshmen princess.
