1969: The Eastern New Mexico University Symphony was preparing to make its season debut at the annual Pops Concert Banquet in the Campus Union ballroom.

Symphony director was Arthur Welker. He planned to present selections from “My Fair Lady,” “South Pacific,” “Sound of Music” and “Carousel.”

The banquet menu called for prime rib, baked potato, fruit cup, a vegetable and dessert.

Admission was $2.75. That included the meal.
