Vocal Music Interest in the choir soared to a new all-time high as Mr. Larry Cunningham came in and really took over. Despite the gasoline shortage, the choir journeyed to Salem in December to sing in the State Capital Rotunda. It also went there for an exchange assembly with South Salem before hosting the Salem school here later in the spring. More than 100 members were enrolled in musical activities by the end of the year. Two new groups were formed and immediately became very popular. The Poop Decks (Gary Morgan, Jim Brown, Ole Nordling, and Kevin Morrison) sang such barber shop favorites as “In a Shanty in Old Shanty Town,” “The Surrey with the Fringe on Top,” “Sioux City, Sue,” and “Hello, Dolly.” The Decketts (Gail Christian, Marge Schenk, and Jill Sorenson) went in for songs like “The Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy and “In the Mood.” Besides the usual fall, spring and Christmas concert, the choir also sang at Lloyd Center at Christmas time.

Christmas Christmas festivities got underway as students cast their ballots during their lunch period for the princesses. Seniors selected Marge Handy and Mimi Herrle: Marge Schenk and Kathy Kamman were junior selectees: sophs chose Mardonna Anderson and Kris Morehouse, and fresh- men had Randi Underdahl and Liz Shirley as their representatives on the Christmas court There were several events this year that really raised the Christmas spirit in our school. For one, there was the Canned Food Drive in which LOHS finally came out victorious over Tigard. Also the decor of the halls was helped by decorating doors for class competition in the annual decorating contest. To round out the activities, there was the Christmas assembly in which the choir, Windjammers, Poop Decks, and band expressed their spirit for Christmas in a musical way. The teachers also gave an amusing skit trying to find the spirit of Christmas. Friday, Christmas MC's Darrell Rus- trum and Jeff Strothers announced the 1973 Christmas Queen, Marge Schenk. Topping off the festivities was the Silver Bell Ball featuring the group Vegas. TOP LEFT: Senior princess Mimi Herrle.
