Athletes Are Rewarded As with many small schools, athletics are a very important part of attending school in Hurley. A large number of high school students are in- volved in sports and spent many long, dedi- cated hours of practice in the gym or on the field during the course of the year. Although team records are seldom rewarding, persons displaying talent and a desire to learn are rec- ognized for their individual efforts. 27

Students Gain Stage Experience A series of One Act plays was presented on March 2nd and 3rd. The first play, “The Jury Was Hung” found Littel Quirt the only male member of a hung jury and being driven over the brink by his crazy fellow jury members. The eighth grade did a very convincing job of ex- plaining “Why Teachers Go Nuts”. Steph Lange and Christe Bright presented “The Tex- as Triology”, a duet acting piece. Phil Wirth and Curt Mikkelsen acted out the familiar clas- sic, “Who’s On First?”. Merry Christensen di- rected the students. 2 1- Impatiently waiting to cast their votes, the women of the jury appear bored by Littel Quirt’s long speech. 2- Each trying to out-do the other, Mrs Schnezer and Mrs Umbrage engage in fierce battle. 3- Helen Falconr listens intently for the teacher to call on her. Phil Wirth finds a little “persuasion” is necessary to obtain his information!

All-Staters Enjoy Trip To Rapid City With 34 members, this year’s high school chorus is among the largest in recent years. The chorus also fea- tured a large bass and tenor section which greatly en- hanced the groups sound. In November, 4 people were chosen to participate in the All-State Chorus. This annu- al event was held in Rapid City and provided an oppor- tunity for sightseeing as well as singing with a choir of 900 voices. In addition to concerts, the chorus also had members perform at the vocal contest held in February. 2tt 1-All eyes intent on the director, the high school chorus performs at graduation 2 High School Chorus: Front row Lora Duxbury, Judith Benson.
