Sky View Choir at the Logan Tabernacle

An article from the Herald Journal I kept.  I don't have the date, but this was likely March 1975.
Under the direction of Stratford Loosle, the Sky View High School A Cappella Choir rehearses for a special Sunday concert.  The choir will sing at 8 tonight in the Logan LDS Tabernacle as part of a program for young adult and special interest group of the Logan Region.
I am there someplace, probably second row.

Choir Gives Concert Tonight
The Sky View High School a cappella choir will present a program for the young adult and special interest organization of the Logan Region tonight at 8 o'clock in the Logan LDS Tabernacle.  Stratford Loosle directs the choir of 135, one of the largest school choirs in Utah.
Tonight's concert is a prelude to the choir's tour of southern Utah in April.
At Christmas the group presented a concert for the public and the students of Sky View, and sang at various malls in the Salt Lake area, including Fashion Place, Valley Fair and Cottonwood.
Assisting Loosle in organizing choir productions are Kris Jensen and Robinette Hogan, co-presidents of the choir, Linda Pitcher, Marilyn Timothy, Annette Webb and Myrna Miller, secretaries, and Brian Flammer, reporter.
The program this evening will feature Kris Jensen as soloist and the Barbershop Quartet.
Elder Paul Bott, regional representative of the Council of the Twelve for the LDS Church, will be the speaker.
Presidents Lowell Jenkins and Garth Lee, regional priesthood leaders will preside and Randy Thunnell, region president of young adults and Dan Frodsham, region president of special interest organizations in charge.
Juanita Nielsen and Sylvia Niederhauser will be in charge of greeters and ushers.

  1. Marianne Pricilla Miller I was in the last freshman class at South Cache and attended Sky View when it was new. The north and south were bitter rivals back then and both sides were happy when Logan lost a ballgame. One of the problems was division between the north and south ends of the valley (sort of like the Civil War without guns). I think part of the reason was that we went to different elementary and junior high schools. I was told at the 50th class reunion last Sept. it was still that way.Many people were unhappy about the long bus ride just to have a school with a pool. I had some great teachers. The clubs were fun. Accapella choir was one of my favorites - Craig Jessip and Michael Ballam were in the class when I was.

    Sky View was a great place to be a teenager.

    Billy Wardle You likely know my sister Sara, who was that age, but left Sky View when we moved to Illinois. However she went to Calgary with the band, playing clarinet.
