The Choir Is Rewarded At Contest The choir had a new instructor who was Melodi Van Roekel. She and the choir spent many hours of vocalizing to prepare for the many concerts and contests that they participated in. Contest is a very busy time but the time proved to be rewarding to several students who participated in solos and ensembles. Some of the groups involved were: swing choir Sound Celebration. girls ensemble, boys ensemble, many duets and several solos. The choir also went to large group contest in Milbank on May 1st which turned out to be very rewarding. Here they were judged on three songs by three different judges. Individually the judges scores were a I-. a II+ , and a II. When the scores were averaged out the mixed chorus received a II + which they were very happy with. The swing choir also performed in their own concert. They then went on to participate at the NSC Jazz Festival in the class C division and won a second place trophy. All together, a new choral director, new sounds, and a great deal of patience from everyone gave way to an enjoyable year for the choir.

The Blue Gold Is “Making The Grade” The Blue Gold staff has attempted to publish an issue of its newspaper every week. It is not an easy task to meet the deadlines and come up with the right amount of news each week. They covered all facets of school life, attempting to touch on all activities as well as any human interest stories. Through features and editorials, the staff expressed the students' point of view of issues of concern in our school, as well as one a larger scale in our state and country. The Blue Gold staff begins their week by posting assignments. During the following week, the Journalism class works during class and study halls, preparing the paper. A few of their numorous tasks consist of taking pictures, reporting, typing, proofreading, writing cutlines, lightboarding and trying to meet the deadline. The journalism class consists of nine students: Robin Dement, David Greenhaw, Michele Gunderson, Diane Gutzmer, Shelly Heitman, Juli Jensen, Becky Koepke, Nancy Martin and Jan Sjolie. The journalism class, along with the Prestonian staff, attended a Press Convention on the South Dakota State University Campus in Brook- ings. The paper had improved in the last year, but still missed all-state by a few points. The Blue Gold is striving to improve for next year. Students who work on the paper learn to be aware of what is going on around them and they get a lot of writing experience. Shelly Heitman, Diane Gutzmer, and Mi- chele Gunderson working on Blue Gold stories. Jan Sjolie busy typing stories for Blue Gold.
