Regular concerts are played at the City Park during the summer months. The band is divided up into four different organizations: Be- ginner's Band, Second Band, Military Band, and che Concert Band. The senior members of the band are Pearl Barr, Vernon Bur- gess,'Sidney Carlson, june Fleming, Florence Froemming, Jean Harrison, June johnson, Doris Larson, Robert Patton, Marjorie Thompson and Viola Wagner. THE MUSIC CONTEST The music contest this year was held in Glenwood on April 23 and 24. This year's rating was determined on a much lower scale than previous years, as a consequence the marks of the various organizations were much lower. This does not mean that the groups this year were infe 'or to those of last, but simply that the judges were much stricter. ' 1 The ratings of the various groups were as follows: , - Senior High Girls' Glee Club ......................... A Junior High Girls' Glee Club .............. .............
