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.

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

Uniforms Add Class To Band’s Performance After several years of fund raising, the high school band finally achieved its goal. Purchased by the Band Boosters, the sharp new uniforms greatly improved the appearance of the band. Although the uniforms didn’t arrive in time for Homecoming, the band was able to “show off” their new gear during the long awaited Centennial parade. The band performed at many concerts this year, entertaining the audience with a wide variety of music styles. Although adverse weather conditions forced the cancellation of the instrumental contest, the soloists and ensembles were judged at the vocal contest and did quite well. 1 Taking a break between songs, Curt attempts to catch a few zzz's. 2 Band Back row Stephanie Lange, Dorothy Brandsrud, Judith Benson, Ben Leber, Direc tor Jill Beers Second row Jeff Knock, Jeff Ness.
