The following fall it was Washington State University. In the spring of 1959, our sorority (Kappa Alpha Theta) joined the Beta Theta Pis to participate in the “Song Fest” Competition. Dick Batdorf, a member of the Beta house, was our director. Our group actually had several talented musicians. The contest required two numbers. All groups had to sing one, I believe it may have been “I dream of Jeannnie with the Light Brown Hair.” It had to be sung a cappella. Then there was a number of your choice. Ours was from the “Music Man.” We practiced quite a bit and we thought we sounded great … we expected to win the competition. But as it turned out, our performance in the required piece was terrible. Nobody seemed to find the right pitch. As Dick Batdorf directed, he kept crossing his eyes. I think we would have been better off had it been a comedy sketch. We certainly wouldn’t have been competition for the Vet students. For my following three years, we opted to stay out of the competition.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The spring Song Fest was a part of the entertainment for our moms during Mothers Weekend.

Gary has fond memories of singing tenor for four years in the men’s Veterinary Choir. They never lost a campus-wide competition, and were eventually banned because the large size of their well-practiced group and relative maturity of their voices gave them too much of a competitive advantage in that era. Today, comedy sketches are more of a thing than vocal dynasties (with propensities for Wagner), and well over 80% of veterinary students are female. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Go, Cougs!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Nancy (and Gary)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><hr size=0 width="100%" align=center></div><div id=divRplyFwdMsg><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:black'>From:</span></b><span style='color:black'> Tom Hansen <thansen@moscow.com><br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, June 10, 2022 5:06:58 AM<br><b>To:</b> Keely <siyocreo@live.com>; Jeanne McHale <jeannemchale@hotmail.com>; Dr. Rula Awwad-Rafferty <rulaa@uidaho.edu>; Ellen Roskovich <ellenroskovich@gmail.com>; Fritz Knorr <fritzknorr@gmail.com>; Joan Klingler <joanklingler@gmail.com>; Joann Muneta <jmuneta@uidaho.edu>; Linda Pike <lindaopike@gmail.com>; Moscow Vision 2020 <vision2020@moscow.com>; Nancy Chaney <nchaney@moscow.com>; Penni Cyr <cpenni@gmail.com>; Rose Huskey <rosejhuskey@gmail.com>; Shirley Ringo <ringoshirl@moscow.com>; Tom Lamar <tlamar@moscow.com>; Arlene Falcon <tyedye@moscow.com>; Tom Trail <thomasftrail@gmail.com>; Carmen Suarez <carmensuar@gmail.com>; Debi Smith <debismith@moscow.com><br><b>Subject:</b> A tribute to . . .</span> <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>. . . <b>Washington State College Veterinary Medicine Choir</b> <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><img width=479 height=481 style='width:4.9895in;height:5.0104in' id="_x0000_i1025" src="cid:image001.png@01D87CB4.5D68DAE0"><br><br><b>“Halls of Ivy”</b> <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.tomandrodna.com/MoscowCares/Songs/WSC_Veterinary_Music_Choir/Halls_of_Ivy.mp3">http://www.tomandrodna.com/MoscowCares/Songs/WSC_Veterinary_Music_Choir/Halls_of_Ivy.mp3</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b>“Pilgrims Chorus”</b><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><a href="http://www.tomandrodna.com/MoscowCares/Songs/WSC_Veterinary_Music_Choir/Pilgrims_Chorus.mp3">http://www.tomandrodna.com/MoscowCares/Songs/WSC_Veterinary_Music_Choir/Pilgrims_Chorus.mp3</a><o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>"Moscow Cares" (the most fun you can have with your pants on)<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>http://www.MoscowCares.net<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Tom Hansen<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Moscow, Idaho<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>“A stranger is just a friend you haven’t met.”<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>- Roy E.
