P.E., Special Ed. Enhance Abilities Physical Education was a class designed to keep students in shape. In this class, the students learned different skills and techniques in field hockey, basket- ball, Softball, volleyball, soccer, tennis, racquetball, and badminton. All classes were co-ed, and contained two grade levels. This was done so that the fitness testing the sophomores took was more efficient and less time consuming. Besides acquiring skills, the students also learned rules and good sportsmanship. Special Education enhanced the abilities and skills of students. It helped them improve academically in many basic areas such as math and English, but also in areas like G.S.R., history, and science. This course gave each individual a plan for future education and also unitary attention. Each student worked at his own pace. Those who did not speak English also took this course because individual help was needed to comprehend the English language.

Marching Band Promotes Pep, Spirit Since the dawn of American football, one of tfie biggest unsung heroes of the pastime, has been the band. Amidst all the fanfare and hoopla stands a very important, though often overlooked, figure. Most spectators hear the band, but don ' t really listen. They see what is on the surface, a number of nondescript students, uniformally marching about a tattered field. What they don ' t realize is how much hard work and sweat is put into |ust one field show. Dedicated Vikings began their preseason practice on August 26, everyday for four hours, and the fresh- men began on August 22. From the dates of July 1 to August 1, was band camp. The cost was $35, and was offered not only for members at the high school level, but was offered to junior high school students, also. It was held here, at Northview, in the evening. Then, when school commenced, the band rehearsed once a week at district field for four hours, in addition to time rehearsing in class. Also, each sec- tion of the band (the flute section, trumpet section, etc . . . ) had individual practices of its own called, appropriately enough, sectionals. They were all man- datory, and the time and location of each one varied due to the schedule of the student in charge, who, by the way, carries the title of Section Leader. The Viking Bandsters attended two field show competitions. The first at Chaffey High School, and the second at Hart High School. Field shows are fourteen minutes long, |ust like a football half-time, and are judged on music, drill design, and marching. The selections performed for their field show consist- ed of Cortez, On Broadway, Bird Land, The Heat Is On, and Come in From The Rain. In addition to the field show performances, the Black and Gold Sound Machine also marched in four parades: The Azusa Golden Days, Rowland Band Review, Redlands Christmas Parade, and our own Covina Christmas Parade. In a competitive parade, the band marches through a competition area about two hundred feet in length, and the band is |udged on marching, music, and showmanship. Mr. Van Patten ' s goals for the year were similar to |ust about every high school band director ' s, to continue to build the music program into one of the finest in the state. Between football games, basketball games, field shows, parades, and rallies, over one hundred thou- sand people saw our band perform. That is defmately something to be proud about!

During half-time, Ron Cordero executes an absolute- ly flawless performance. 128 Band Band Band Band Band
