A new idea carried out, during the Christmas season, was a Sunday afternoon concert given by the Choraliers, the orchestra, and Mr. C. Wesley Anderson of the Minneapolis School System. The Madrigal groups, again this year, brought cheer to many hospitals and homes for senior citizens. They represented Washburn with fine performances. Summer plans call for a trip to Finland by the Choraliers, who were invited to sing in various musical concerts. FIRST ROW: l.uh. R Nelson. Katzynski. Schulz, Ixe, Hockcrt. Wilton, Watson, Strait on.
