High School Chorus During the past year outstanding accomplishments can be credited to the high school a cappela chorus which numbers seventy voices. The extensive repertoire of this organization includes both religious and secular arrangements. Last October the chorus presented the colorful gypsy operetta Chonila. At Christmas time the choir furnished the musical background for the beautiful pageant Why the Chimes Rang. On February sixth the chorus led the community singing of patriotic songs at the monthly meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association. On April fifth the Wayzata Chorus took part in the second annual Hennepin County Music Festival which was held at the St. Louis Park High School. The event that every chorus member anticipates with joy and feeling of accomplishment is the annual concert. This was presented jointly with the band on April tenth in the school auditorium. Several smaller vocal groups were formed within the chorus. The octet included Shirley Braden. Virginia Lewis. Lorrayn Dumas. Patty Quay. Allan Gotten, Paul Luttio. John Hughart, and Virgil Holst; they sang at the junior class play and many other events. The quartette included Lowell Lin-man, Larry Day. Philip Luttio. and Lew Stemmer. This group presented an especially entertaining act at the melodrama Aaron Slick. The soloists were Virginia Lewis, Shirley Braden, and Lorrayn Dumas. The accompanist was Shirley Braden. Paul Luttio, president, and Virginia Lewis, secretary, were the officers of the chorus. The chorus finishes the current year in a blaze of glory in their appearance at the Baccalaureate and the Commencement Exercises. Miss Selvig is the capable director of this organization. Page 19

Amanda and Ezra Simpkins are the New England caretakers of the ranch in Arizona owned by John Wayne. While they are waiting for Pudge Rogers, a sage brush taxi driver, the professor arrives closely followed by Tommy Tinker. As they sit together, they discuss the idol. Tlaloc, whose mural hangs on the wall. Nancy. John Wayne’s niece, arrives accompanied by Virginia and Pat. Nancy becomes angry when Nawa tells her that Tlaloc has caused the disappearance of Wayne. Salvado del Santos, a Mexican gentleman, and Pepita, his sister, appear to find Wayne, the man Pepita claims she married. The mixup is settled in the end when the professor turns out to be Wayne’s cousin who married Pepita using Wayne’s name. The wail of Tlaloc is heard through the entire play, and the ugly idol casts a mysterious atmosphere over the action.

High School Band The school band, which was organized in 1931, had accomplished very little until this year. However, as a result of the hard work of Mr. A. J. Nornberg, the director, and Mr. Thomas Harding, assistant director, the band was reorganized last fall and developed into a fine organization. Special practices were held whenever the director deemed it necessary and every Monday evening. Individual lessons wre given to beginners and to students interested in joining the band. These lessons were given during study periods convenient to the director and student. The band appeared at all the pep fests and at almost all the home football and basketball games. On March sixteenth this group performed at the Twin City Milk Producers' Association Conference. On April tenth the band presented a well-received co-concert with the chorus. The band was represented at the Saint Louis Park Music Festival on April fifth. The representatives were Nellie Boomhower, saxophone; Philip Luttio, clarinet; and Hibbert Sidnam. trumpet. These members took part in the mass band formed by the various lake district schools. The present band consists mostly of junior high school people. They all have proved capable of good work. They are being developed to the point where Wayzata will have a band that it can justly be proud of in the future. Page 20
