Early 1960s First Mennonite junior choir
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.
