Chorus Has The chorus during rehearsal for one of its many programs. Busv and ¥ Chorus was busy and exciting this year for the 26 girls who participated. Under the direction of their new teacher Mrs. Rutz, the chorus gave their first performance for Veteran's Day. The chorus met every Monday and Wednesday and seemed to be always practicing for something—if not the Woman's Club, then definitely for the Christmas Program. In the Spring there were many hours spent preparing for the District Music Festival held in Casper. Approximately 20 girls went and spent a busy but educational day at Kelly Walsh High School. The chorus received a two rating. This was Big Horn's first trip of this kind. After returning from Casper, the chorus began to get ready for the Spring Program, a crowning achievement for a year of hard work. The final performance of the year was graduation.

Exciting Year The Folk Group was orig- inally a class of students inter- ested in playing the guitar. With only five members, it was easy for students to begin to play different parts. Their first per- formance was at the Christmas Program. Later they appeared in Kiwanis Stars of Tomorrow Contest. Although they didn't place, they had a good time. They also provided entertain- ment for the Senior Tea and Prom Banquet. Their last per- formance was at the Spring Program. They worked hard all year and put in many long hours with Mrs. Rutz.
