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.
