The new members were required to try out. The chorus performed during the Homecoming Pro- gram and at the Christmas, Spring, and Pops concerts. Four members won the honor to attend the All-State chorus at Huron in November. Mem- bers also tried out for a spot in the 1981 all-state Honors Choir in April. The tryout consisted of a solo, written test, and sight-reading. A piano dedicated by the Kulm family in memory of Mrs. Leona Kulm was presented to the mu- sic department. This was espe- cially appreciated by the ac- companists, Joan Hoffman and Pat Lapka. Chorus officers are.
