Early 1960s First Mennonite junior choir

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 6, 2016 - 9:22am

The Icon seeks some help from viewers to fill in the blanks of this First Mennonite Church junior choir photo. Our best guess for the year is 1961-62, figuring that the most of the members in the back row were in the sixth grade - making them high school seniors in 1967-68.

Wanda Pannabecker is the director standing in front of the choir.
