Tobeck The 59-60 track season was a smashing success due to the efforts of the boys and their coaches, Mr, Lewis and Mr, Krystosek. Eight school records were broken: 440 Relay, 440 Dash, Shotput, High Hurdles, High Jump, Low Hurdles, Pole Vault, and Mile Run. Against rough competition from many larger schools, the B.V. boys totaled the most points in the Dragon Relays at Moorhead, and brought back the championship of this event. By the end of the season, the team also had become conference and B.V. triangular champs. Co-captains were Ray LeCuyer and Jerome Zacharias, both of whom are excellent trackmen. Zac competed in the state meet as a pole vaulter, and made a fine showing. Congratulations to the squad and the coaches for a tremendous season. SCHOOL RECORD BREAKERS 440 Relay Team: 48.3 sec.

Music selections ranged from the light, humorous variety, such as ’There’s a Hole in My Bucket’ to religious numbers, some of which were sung in Latin. The highlight of the music season was the annual music contest, which was held in Benson, Minn. As this event was held April 1st and 2nd, the results of the contest could not be listed in this annual. The choral Christmas Concert consisted of two parts. Religious selections by the chorus, glee clubs, and a junior girls’ glee, accompanied by narration of the Christmas story composed the first half of the concert. The last division of the program was the informal singing of the traditional carols by the chor- us as a madrigal group. Small groups within the mixed chorus also performed during the school year. A girls’ quartet, composed of Carol Roerig, Karen Vollmers, Delores Westman, and Liz Dierks, sang Makin’ Love, Ukelele Style in the Graceville exchange con- cert and also in a home concert. Other small groups included a girls’ sextet, a mixed octet, and a boys’ quartet. At the time of compiling this annual, these groups had not yet made public appearances, although preparations for contest were being made. Plans were made during February to purchase choir robes for the entire mixed chorus. Financing this project were the proceeds from last year’s chorus pro- duction of the ’Mikado, freewill collections at band concerts, and projects of the band and chorus mothers. Next year’s school carnival will be sponsored by the band, with all profits going to the music fund. 22
