When Mrs. Hall left the faculty, Mrs. Alice Miller was the director. After a few local appearances the HAPPY HARMONIZERS seemed to please the community, so they decided to prepare a couple numbers for the contest. The first contest was held at Colfax in April of 1945. ln this contest they won a superior rating, which entitled them to sing in the state contest at Mason City in May. In thiscontest they also won a superior rating. The HAPPY HARMONIERS have sung for many meetings and organiza- tions before many people. Their pianist is Shirley Brown. They have sung for Polk Co. Farm Bureau, Polk Co. Federation, Polk Co. School Board Banquet, several alumni banquets, class plays, PTA programs, and several stage shows in Des Moines. These are a few of their many appearances. -16.-
