Climaxing the spring concert, Mr. Seeborg, superintendent, presented the Arion Awards to Roberta Gibson and Doug Nopson. Mrs. Nopson is shown h ere pinning an honorary pin on Roberta. “There is delight in singing, tho’ none hear beside the singer,” Walter Lander once wrote to Robert Browning. Although most students choose chorus as an elective because they enjoy singing, many people have the pleasure of hearing their fine choral music in programs and concerts. Under the direction of Mrs. Elizabeth Nop¬ son, the highly rated choral department took part in many activities during the year. Also, three students had the honor of singing in the “All State Choir.” They were Roberta Gibson, Peter Hold ling, and Bob Biddle. The newly organized Choralettes, composed of girls who take a special interest in vocal music, earned a one rating in district competi¬ tion in Seaside; and sang for various local pro¬ grams.
