Folk Music Appreciation is newly formed class and club of Guilford High School. The club met five days a week as a half credit subject. It was established to better understand the concepts of Folk Dance and Folk Music. Also included in its line of study were the culture and traditions of countries from which dances are derived. Under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Gustafson, the Viking dancers appear in public performances and at private parties. The club is open to anyone interested in folk song and dance and willing to give up some study time.
