DEDICA TIOJV We, the students of Minneota High School, proudly dedicate this, our 1961 Minn-Hi- Ann, to Mr. Marvin Nissen. As head of the music department since 1955, Mr. Nissen has directed band and chorus and instructed grade school music. Under his leadership the band and chorus have become a pride of our school and community. His creative ability has been especially evidenced in the memorable Christmas and Spring Concerts, as has his interest in school spirit been demonstrated by band participation at athletic events. To you, Mr. Nissen, for bringing M. H. S. the true message found only in song, we, your students, say thanks. FA CUL TT ADMINISTRATION MR. OLSON: Principal, Social Studies 12. MR.
