c H O R U S A N D C o N T E S T (kor-0s) 1. An organized company of singers who sing in concert. The chorus class of Milford for the 1979-80 school year consisted of sixty-four people. They gave two main concerts — a Christmas concert and a Spring concert. In addition to the concerts, the chorus participated in the annual District Contest at Weslyan University. At the contest, participants were rated on a scale from one to five, in which they received a two for their efforts. Directing the group was Mr. Jim Alexander who was very pleased with their performance. Mrs. Nowotny, the accompanist, was a big help in attaining their goals for the school year. But mainly the thanks goes to everyone who made this year a great success. Row 1: Mr. Alexander, M. Lauer, B. Vagts, A. Roth, L. Hander, J. Putnam, P. I loins, C. Stabenow, M. Rorst, E.

eo z Q (band) together. 1. A group of musicians organized for playing The 1979-80 Milford Senior High Band was the biggest band ever. There were 71 members. For the first time in years, the marching band participated in the Nebraska Marching Band Festival at Pershing Auditorium in Lin- coln. The band received a three. The concert band partic- ipated in our Conference Clinic at VVymore and District Contest at Nebraska Wesleyan University. At District Contest the band received a rating of two by performing the songs “Denbridgeway” by James Siveringten and “His Honor’' by Henry Filmore. The band also had a small “touring band” that made visits to the rest homes and to other city events. So at the end of this year the Senior High Band had lots to be proud of along with Mr. Hoch, who will, unfortunately, never teach our band again. Everyday Appearance Back Row: (1 to r) Mr. Hoch, T.
