FL Impressed by New High School With a two-day winter holiday to move into the new school, students were able to clear their minds of tests and homework for a short time. However, many willingly came to the new school to help teachers unpack all the rememberances of their old classrooms and rearrange the school in a realistic pattern for teaching. Under the direction of Mr. Carlson, the one-act play centered around a husband and wife theme. Taken from James Thurber’s works, the play included sketches of “The Unicorn in the Gar- den,” “Mr. Preble Gets Rid of His Wife,” and two additional fables. In sub-district compe- tition Tracy Tolzmann received the award for best actor. In district competition at North Branch, the cast placed third. Cultural enrichment came to FLHS with the performance of the Minnesota Symphony Or- chestra in February. Spectators listened to such famous selections as the William Tell Overture and the 1812 Overture. Still another cultural highlight was the well-received Christmas pro- gram given by the Fine Arts Department. ABOVE: The band performs at the Christmas concert under the direction of Rollin Nelson.
