Last fall a good number of chirping students signed up for Girls' Chorus, Boys' Chorus and Mixed Chorus. These groups took part in the all school Christmas Con- cert under the direction of Mrs. Ramsay. The Boys' Chorus and the Girls' Chorus sang three selected Christ- mas Carols. The Mixed Chorus sang Fred Waring's ar- rangement of T'was The Night Before Christmas which seemed to delight the audience, as was evidenced by the smiles on their faces. Sandra Fjelstul, Leilani Hovden, Carol Peterson and Elaine Phipps were selected from our vocal department to participate in the Dorian Vocal Festival at Luther College. In February, tryouts were held for soloists and vocal groups which would compete in the State Music Contest at Garnavillo. As contest time was drawing near, Mrs, Norland had the piano wheeled into her Eng- lish room, where the students in study hall could hear a fewsour notes mixed in with the sweet ones. On Sat- i urday, April 14, the vocal members joined with the band members for an early morning jaunt to the Music Con- test. Students participating in this event were: Sandra Amundson,Rarnona Anderson, Andre a Bakken, Linda Bakken, Sandra Fjelstul, Leilani Hovden, Sharron Hove, Elaine Phipps, Treva Sime, Jean Smith, Delaine Vatt- hauer, Kay Trytten,Jeroy Fjelstul, Andrea and Kay re- ceived a I rating in their solos and the Girls Trio also received a I rating. Many songs have been sung in Chorus, easy ones and hard ones, and ofthese some remain favorites. A favor- ite song in Girls Chorus is A Little Song Of Life and Big Brown Bear . A favorite among the members of Mixed Chorus is BeautifulSavior , and a chosen one in Boys Chorus is The Deaf Old Woman . We now find the Girls Chorus and Mixed Chorus busi- ly rehearsing their selections which they will sing for Baccalaureate and Commencement.

Twelve days ofanxious waiting preceded the Home- coming festivities for four popular Seniors. These four had been kept in suspense since the day of election and finally,on the afternoon of that festive day of Decem- ber 20th, they learned that Wayne l-lovden and Treva Sime would reign as King and Queen while Cheryl As- chim and Harlan Bakken were chose n by the student body to be attendants from the Senior Class. Not in suspense, but still excited, were the under- classmen attendants: Leilani l-lovden and Alan Rue, Juniorsg Beverly Rue and Denis Wemark, Sophomoresg and Leanne Bakken and Tommy Trytten, Freshmen. The crownbearers, chosen from the first and second grade, were Lorraine Bergan and Dennis Hovden. As the evening drewcloser, letters were put up which spelled out Merry Christmas , Happy New Year , Welcome Alumni , and Welcome Lime Springs . The royal throne in the middle of the bleachers had been decorated in red, green and silver crepe paper. Mrs. Cook and her Home Ec. class had been busy making cookies for the alumni reception after the game. That evening a large crowd was on hand for the games and for the coronation which took place between the boys' and girls' games. Wayne Kreitzer, Student Council president, acted ably as master of ceremonies. Amid the fanfare of four trumpets and Pomp and Cir- cumstance as played on the piano by Sandra Fjelstul, the King, Queen and their royal attendants marched to the middle of the floor for the Coronation. Coach An- derson was called forward to crown the King and Queen. Aftera brief speech by the newly crowned pair, Russell Bakken, ofthe Ridgeway Fire Department, presented the Queen with a bouquet ofpink and white carnations. The Queen and her attendants were then escorted to their throne where they reigned over a thrilling basketball game in which the Ridgeway boys won over Lime Springs by a hair's breadth. The Alumni reception was held in the Church after the game while a Sock Hop was enjoyed by the young- er set in the gym. HRPPY King. HHPDY Qlleenl Where are the crowns?? The Royal Court I 4 XX X 5, X
