SWHS piano rededicated

Some of you may have heard that four SWHS students recently undertook the renovation of the school's 1922 Steinway piano as their senior project. They raised $5000 and had the piano professionally restored. The piano was "rededicated" at an event in January 2011. The piano is beautifully restrung and refinished, but the old deep dings in the surface are still there! Wonder how many the Class of 71 is responsible for...

At the rededication, some students performed and our old friend, Jerry Sommerseth, played the Steinway to show off its revitalized look and sound.

Thanks to these seniors for their idea and their persistence in making the Steinway piano ready for another 50 years of service!
