The high school band received a superior rating and the chorus was rated as excellent. A girls’ trio comprised of Karel Oben- chain, Carol Haney and Sue Tra- mel earned an excellent rating with their vocal selection. Excellent ratings also went to Lynda Cundall and Susan Schenk for piano solos; Carol Pond and Joan Stunz, flute solos; Linda Ballou, alto saxophone solo; Glen da Hoffman and Stewart Henig- son, drum solos. Drummers Rated Excellent A drum quintet, with Glenda Hoffman, Stewart Henigson, Di anne Wilson, Wayne Takami and Lucille Bertram, also was rated as excellent. A vocal solo pre sented by Karel Obenchain was rated as good. According to Turner, none of the girls’ chorus entries received superior ratings. He said that judging in all categories was quite demanding, considerably more than in past years, and that he and Gary Clawson were very proud of the students as compe tition was good. The instructors state they feel the music department did a fine job of representing the Nyssa schools and community.
