On April 17th the pupils of E.P. were entertained by a High School Band from Grand Rapids, Minnesota. They gave an enjoyable performance. The selections they played included A Tribute to Glenn Miller and the music from Mr. Lucky . Their performance was greatly appreciated by the entire student body. The students were assembled in the auditorium on April 10th to hear a High School Choir from Mound, Minnesota. They sang a variety of songs ranging from Ava Maria to a Hawiian War Chant . Their songs proved to be an inspiration for our own choirs enter¬ ing the festival. A group of four sang folk songs in Hootenanny style. It was an extremely enjoyable morning. CHOCOLATE BAR SALE On November 1st a chocolate bar sale to raise funds for band uniforms got off to a roaring start. Th arouse the spirits of the students a smashing pdp rally was held. Along with exciting entertain¬ ment provided by some of the students, the audience was treated to a skit put on by our talented teachers, acting as the animals and trainers of the Moscow Circus. The sale, however, was cut short due to an accident at the World ' s Finest Chocolate Company which caused the bars to contain glass. As soon as the defect was noticed the sale was suspended. A settlement was made between the school and the company. The company agreed to give the school the money which would have been taken in from one complete sale. The room selling the most bars before the sale concluded was Room 3. Room 16 placed second and Room 18 was third. The winning sales¬ man for the girls was Dale Mills, Room 5, with Donna Neufeld finishing second. For the boys, Hugh Letain, Room 16, led in sales and Keith OwBn finished in second place. Congratulations go out not only to the winners but to all students who worked hard to sell bars.

This year there were four choirs which entered the Music Festival. The Glee Club entered two categories, folk songs and Suburban Girls, grades 7 to 9. They were directed by Mrs. Kristjanson. Under the capable direction of Miss Murray the Rooms 2 and 5 choir placed second in their class. Mrs. Kristjanson also directed two other groups. Rooms 14 and 16, and Rooms 20 and 21 choirs which sang extremely well. The whole school thanks Mrs. Kristjanson, Miss Murray and Mr. Harrison for their time and effort in training the choirs. Under this qualified supervision we are sure that the school ' s choirs will have continuous success.
