In perfect For the first time in the school's history, both ofthe choirs achieved the highest rating that can be received at a competition. The groups were able to ac- complish this at the Colorado High School Activities Association Large Group Festival, which was held at Fort Collins on April 29. Both the Concert Choir and Third Edition were showered with compliments from the three judges, which gave individual scores and overall critique sheets. Onejudge said, l'You are an excel- lent group, doing almost every- thing right, while another said that the groups were lots of fun, Choir hannon and again an excellentjobf' Choir Director Phebe Novic was very pleased with the perfor- mance of both groups for two rea- sons. The first one was that Estes Park was the only school other than Fort Collins and Rocky Moun- tain to obtain straight one ratings for all of their choirs. The other reason was that she thought this would be a Ugrowing year, so she never really expected them to do as well as they did. The choirs didn't have any fund-raising events, however, they did have their annual Christmas concert, as well as concerts at the Wild Basin Lodge and a spring con- cert at the Stanley Hotel in March, which was one of their best perfor- mances. The band and choir also team- ed up in October at the UNICEF concert, which was a great suc- cess, and for their final conceit, when the choirs performed for the seniors and their parents at bacca- laureate. Nineteen members of the choir were selected all-league in February, which leads Mrs. Novic to believe that since they were so young and inexperienced this year, they will be Heven better next year. .-,Y.,...., z 5 l . ..,-,.,.,.,,,,...., -4 5 3 C 0 S S- .

There is usually some actixd- ty going on before or after school at some time of the year for everyone. To some students after- school hours were spent at sports practices of one kind or the other. To others free time was spent on some of the many extra-cunicular activities the school has to offer. Clubs such as Spanish Club, French Club and Math 'Lim e5 YU Club gave students the op- portunity to continue their special interests. The dances were few but full, with students having fun. Dances from dedication to l'Walk Like an Egyptian dances. Also, the traditional homecoming, Morp and prom were held. The plays that entertain- ed us were Tom Jones and Anything Goes. Throughout the year it seemed as though everyone was able to find something to do with his spare time be- cause of all of the activities.
