CA 0l l,t5 0 Y Q,-5 .Slrfezfe Thanks to the determination, patience, and talents ot Miss Ruth I. Hallenberg, the senior high school chorus was again an extremely successful musical organization. Much time was spent both during school and at evening practices as the eighty voices blended together to pro- duce harmony. As a result ot this conscientious work, two beautitul concerts were given. Rehearsals tor these concerts naturally were not too harmonious. It anyone happened into Room T7 when practice on a new song had just begun, they would have been greeted with the sound ot absolute discord. This would be followed with a burst ol laughter from the group and Miss Hcllenberg. Then back to work they would go. Slowly the parts were learned and complete harmony resulted. Sunday, December lil, tound the high school auditori- um hlled with the many people who came to enioy the truly beautiful Christmas Concert, This consisted ot a number ol unusual religious songs plus the many well- known Christmas carols, among them, God Rest Ye 0,4 Offeffe Merry Gentlemen and Joy to the VVorld. Among the ensembles that sang at this performance were the mixed octette singing Christmas Roundelay and Deck the Halls, the boys' octette singing Beautiful Savior and the girls' sextette singing Lullaby ot the Christ Child and Alleluia, Christ ls Born. Four solos were also sung. These were a soprano solo, Come Unto Him, by Cal- lista McCauley, a tenor solo, VVhen Children Pray, by Bob Potter, a contralto solo, Sleep My Jesu, by Raeola Smith, and a second soprano solo, Birthday of a King, by Pat O'Connor. The seventh grade ensemble, the eighth grade chorus, and the ninth grade girls' chorus also sang at this concert, Before the lcrst carol, Silent Night, was sung Gary Schake, in behalf ot the entire chorus, presented Miss Hallenberg with a gift, a white jeweled cardigan sweater and a pair' ot matching ear- rings, In May, the spring concert was given. It contained a number ot light songs in addition to many beautiful reli- Oyif 7 Qu afiette

IQQQCL A hush came over The audience, the lights were dimmed, and as the curtain parted, The hrst speech department play of The year was underway. As The audience listened, The story of Cheaper by the Dozen was unfolded before them. This was The story of The Gilbreth family which consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbreth and Their Twelve children. Bill Nelson and Betty Mattson did an excellent iob as Mr. and Mrs. Gilbreth while The children played by Mary Mork, Bill Hunt, Alice Foley, Lois Reisberg, Jim Johanson, Jack Blesi, Judy and Lois Quickstrom, and Melvin Lofgren did Their best To make The play a humor- ous one. A budding romance is also evident in The play when boy friends, played by James Bouley and Dick Walter, come to court the Gilbreth girls. The next play was primarily a children's play by the name of Rum- pelstiltskinf' For the first time, a double cast of characters was used. The story was about a poor miller's daughter, played by Janelle Cass and Mary Fahey, who had to spin straw into gold or be put to death. Since the miller's daughter couldn't spin straw into gold, a little old man called Rumpelstiltskin, played by Betty Beck and Mary Jane Gibelyou, did it on the condition that the iniller's daughter would give him her first child. Other members of the play were as Mother Hulda, Eloise Petersen and Pat Kane, Miller, Bert Webster and Arden Hughes, and as King's Son, David Micheau and Dick Haugland. Shortly after the Christmas holidays were over, Miss Hoglund and The stu- dents concentrated on getting prepared for the speech contest. In the sub- district Anoka received ten superior ratings, placing the following contestants: Janet Reed and Dick Walter, discussion, Bill Hunt, extemporaneous speaking, Bert Webster, Mary Mork, and Barbara Brown, extemporaneous reading, Vir- ginia Jacobson, original oratory, Audrey Gow, Betty Mattson, and Mary Fraz- ier, declamcition. All in all The speech department has had an unusually successful year. This would not he true, however, if it were not for the able assistance given by Miss Hoglund.
