GIRL'S GLEE CLUB
WIN TOP RATING
Two l ocal Music
Groups Judged In
First Division
:Mount Vernon high school must-
clans were awarded two first divi-
sion ratings last week end at the
State Music Festival held in Iowa
City.
10irst divisions ratings were won
t)y the mixed chorus and the girls'
glee chlb. which makes them
eligi'ble to eonlpete in the national
contest in Minneapolis, Minn., on
May 18, 19, 20.
Superintendent Clyde lAndsley
says that, on account of the very
!busy school calendar for the re-
mainder of the school year the
contestants will not go on to the
national contest. Lack of funds
to sponsor the trip of the two
groups is also an important factor
in not making the trip.
t'atricia Mitchell, who ,was en-
tered in the flute solo division,
and .Charles Hedge, who was en-
tered in the ])ass vocal solo division
each received second division rat-
ings, which is a very high distinc-
tion because of the stiff corn,peti-
tion.
ORCH E~TRA WINS
~ECOND RATING-
The M.V.H.S. orchestra was rat-
eel in the second division rating in
the ClassB-C orchestra. It was first
reported that the orchestra had
not placed. Word came Tuesday
morning that a recount of the bal-
lots revealed that the orchestra
had received second rating.
The system of ratings this year
was changed from previous years.
What was formerly superior rating
is now called division one, and the
former excellent rating is now" di-
vision two. Only individuals and
groups which rate in division one
at the sub-district and the distriet
contests are qualified to participate
in the state contest. In the same
~ay only those rating in division
one at the state contest may take
part in the national music contest.
Two regional contests were held
in the state this year for the first
time. One was ut Iowa City and
the other at Carroll on the same
dates, Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday of last week. Memiber~hip
in the Iowa high school music as-
sprit]on this year stands at a record
high of 641 schools. 10orty-eight
events, UlOl'e than ever before, were
entered on the 1939 state festival
at lows City.
