MUSIC Makers During the year, the high school band and orches- tra have done their part to add color to school activities. The band has prompted our basketball and football teams. The organization had the honor of representing our district at the regional tourna- ment in Duluth. The orchestra upheld its tradition of playing good music for programs and banquets. In the picture at the right, Park Borgeson, Carol Linstrom, Delores Mattson, and Mae Ruth Pietila are engaged in an informal practice in one of the rooms of our music department. Music students enjoy practicing at the regular after-school sessions. Under the direction and friendly guidance of Mr. Louis Regis, they practice and learn to appreciate a variety of selections which include the classics, musical comedy, and modern descriptive arrangements.
