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.

The Sextet was comprised of six girls from the Chorus. The group was organized in the spring by Mrs. Rutz. The girls met during lunch to prac- tice. Their first performance was for the Senior Tea held at the Woman's Club. They, with the Folk Group, sang for the banquet at Prom. They also sang at the Spring Concert. Their final performance was at Baccalaureate.

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.

Bo Scout Troop 118 of Big Horn grew this year from a membership of 3 to 12 under the leadership of John Clendenen and Keith Salisbury. Highlight of the 1969 sum- mer was a pack trip to Lake Geneva. The troop attended winter camp at Bear Lodge and came away with the trophy. A blue ribbon was also earned at the boy's Scout-O-Rama booth. Another pack trip and a week at Camp Buffalo Bill are planned for summer 1970. An anti-litter campaign was a service project of both Big Horn Cubs and Scouts. Cubs painted and placed litter barrels, and Scouts collected trash from local roadsides. Cub Scouts Shawn Jensen, Brian MacCarty, Sandy Joseph, Brian Talcott and Andy Stroup work in their blue ribbon booth at Scout-O-Rama. Cub Scout service projects included the painting and locating of litter barrels and a trash pick-up, as well as the sending of cookies to Viet Nam at Christmas. Picnics a Mother's Day tea and program, and attendance at the Scout-O-Rama were other activities. Mrs. Verl Joseph was Den Mother.
