Fred Noerenber taught all of us how to play our instruments in Junior High. In my view he should receive much of the credit that went to the high school music teachers. Mike Murray MD Dlass of 1955.
Kathryn Haenggi (Robinett) (1961)
Mr. Noerenberg taught me how to play clarinet in 5th grade; he had a lot of patience and an abundance of good humor. I enjoyed band throughout jr. high and high school. He gave me the foundation for a life-time of music appreciation. Kathryn Haenggi Robinett, class of 1961
