We all sensed a change; not only were the drum majorettes and majors strutting proudly, but the band seemed to have reached new heights, Mr. Wilcoxin, band director, has adopted a new band policy where the members, parents, and administration all help to govern the discipline and loyalty. Every student agrees that although the band is small numerically, we are stronger than ever before. Right: Our band participates in many extra-curricular activities. They play at pep rallies, games, assemblies, plus their own concerts each year. Here the band plays the Alma Mater at the end of a game

Norte Vista ' s seventh homecoming, REIGX OF VICTORY was exactly that. With homecomins; failinsj on October 1 1th, almost a month early, some were skeptical of how it would turn out, but under the direction of Steve Yamaguchi Commissioner of Pep, organization was started in June. The classes took the early date as a challenge. Float construction began . classes were more particular as to what they wanted for floats. The class of 1971 was working for their third con- secutive victory in the float competition, and the classes of 1970, 1972, 1973 were looking for a new King of the Hill in the competition. The Queen ' s Float presented the .X.S.B. Board of Commissioners the challenge to have a most stately and beautiful float on which the queen and her court would ride. The week of the 1 1th began with of all things a bed-rolling contest! ! Novi ' s hallowed halls were filled with hollers and screams of fun as Representative Bed Pushers for each class flamed on trying to beat the others ' times Outlandish-Color Day happened on Tuesday. Mass participation could be seen on campus, Wednesday brought around a Battle of the Mouths — The pie eating contest. On the subject of mouths 1800 mouths were involved in the victory assembly as The Mixed Company performed on Thursday. The lovely queen candidates were in- troduced to the cheering crowds and everyone anticipated Friday - .Spirit Day and the dav of the election for homecoming queen. What would homecoming be without a parade? . fter working continously throughout the night to finish the floats. Saturday morning and the .SO mile per hour Santa .Ana Gusts brought tears and frustration to many. But at 1 1 :00 when the police escort began the procession and the large crowds gathered, waving, and taking pictures, the smiles and young fun was aroused in everyone. Except for mussed hair, wiglets and gritty teeth the parade was a true success ending with a superfantastic pep rally at Hunt Park. Ouecn Candidaies: Christine Hewitt, Vida Smith, Jovro Bo gs, .
