 a ’uiiciani The title of Best Musicians was deservingly earned by popular seniors, Virginia Allen and Louis Graham. Virginia has shown much promise for a success- ful career as she is very adept at piano, flute, organ and voice. She has accompanied the chorus classes two years, and has also accompanied solos, chorus, and glee clubs at the Northern Arizona Music Fes- tival at Flagstaff for three years. Playing her flute with great musical ability in both band and orchestra through high school has been one of her pastimes, in addition, she plays the organ for her church ser- vices and whenever she isn't busy accompanying, she lends her soprano voice to chorus and choir groups. Louis Graham, our man with a horn, has been quite a sensation to the students who have heard him perform in numerous assemblies, and at the dances. Louie's trumpet has become almost a part of him, since all his extra time is spent practicing, playing in the band, or entertaining at various programs. His most recent honors were the excellent rating he re- ceived on his trumpet solo at the festival and last summer he was sent as one of the two band repre- sentatives to attend the Arizona State Music Camp at Tempe. rru Popular Voted most popular seniors for this year are Jo Anne Black and Mack Wiltcher, who both deserve the honored title.
