Gorold Nordstrom Miss Lolla Foofo Talented Students Display Artistry Participation in musical activities by more than one half of the student body was indicative of the vital role music played in life at Minnehaha. Under the able direction of Mr. Harry Opel, the four choral groups rehearsed diligently to make flawless their performance of a variety of sacred music. This goal was realized with the inspiring presentation of concerts by the combined choirs and by the successful tour of the Singers. Conducted by the capable Miss Lelia Foote, the band began the year with a record-breaking membership. The group's versatility was apparent when it appeared as a marching unit during the football season and as a concert band for the remainder of the year. The many successful performances of the band were highlighted by the unique honor of performing at the Minnesota Music Educators Convention. Music theory, piano and organ instruction were also offered to interested students. Heightened demand for an art course, as well as Mr. Gerald Nordstrom's personal interest in the field, effected his transfer from the English to the art department. The students, after learning the basics of art composition and some art history, created various art forms such as sketches, woodcuts and mosaics. By analyzing the individuality of past masters, students learned to express themselves: Harry Opel
