The class of 72 “coptured” the trophy in the float competition with their heli¬ copter and slogan ‘ Indians Gonna Cop-ture A Victory”. Spirited classes support victory A victorious football team and a spirited student body helped make the 1971 Homecoming one of the best LC has ever seen. Although the actual festivities didn’t start until Thursday night, Spirit Week started on Monday and lasted all week with each day being designated a different day. Halls were decorated with most any kind of sign imaginable to pro¬ pel the team to a victory. A spirit-lifting pep rally and a deter¬ mined team was the combination needed to spark a victory. Playing under the muddiest conditions, the Indians excelled and dominated the Benton Central Bisons coming out on top at the end of the game, 28-0. The annual N-Teens Yell Contest as well as the hall contest was won by the class of ’73. But Senior Spirit reigned supreme as their helicopter with the slogan “Indians Gonna Cop-ture A Victory” took top honors in the float competition. The exhaust¬ ing week-long festivites ended with royalty as seniors Deana Sweet and Paul Mantel reigned over the dance Saturday night. The Art Club’s “Bump B.C.” was another decorated car enjoyed by the crowd along the parade route. 18

Concentrating on not moving a muscle, Carol Nagy anxiously awaits the end of inspection and beginning of the ten minute performance. A last minute check of the ranks is made by drum major Linda Buwa before the band steps off to the 1971 N1SBOVA snow. 20 ' Love’ theme is NISBOVA show Despite hard work and long hours of practice, the LC Marching Band bowed out as reigning NISBOVA champions. Tears of disappointment ran silently down the faces of the band members as they congratulated the Marion Band on their victory. The curse of Ft. Wayne prevailed as the last time the contest was held at North Side, the LC Band failed to bring home the prized trophy. Among the songs selected for the “Love” theme were “Al¬ most Like Being In Love”, “Love For Sale”, “You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You” and an original composition by Mr. Jordan “With a Little More Lovin’ ”. The eerie strains of the flutes drifted across the hushed stadium as the rest of the band joined in “Motherless Child”. “Love is a Many Splendored Thing” ended the 1971 NISBOVA performance. As Mr. Jordan paces the sidelines, the judge begins his inspection for the sligh¬ test wrinkle or smallest smudge on a white shoe.
