MUSIC CONTEST R U E B L U E Miss Edith Hanson Hudson took first prize at the District Music Contest at River Falls, April 23 and 24 for the sixth year. “A ratings were received by the Boys’ Glee Club, Girls’ Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, Band, Orchestra, Woodwind Ensemble. The Brass Quartet and String Quartet received “B” ratings. The band marching contest, which Hudson has won for four out of the five years it has been held, was postponed this year because of rain. The Music Memory Team, this year composed of Verna Mae Jones, Solvig Michaelson, Helien I .arson, Janet Wil- liams, Elsie Jane Bouw, and Helen Riedel, won another cup for Hudson, which makes the sixth year we have come out on top in Music Memory. The students feel that recognition should be given to Mr. Dahl and Miss Hanson for their tireless efforts in making music a worthy outside activity. It is mostly due to their efficient work and excellent teaching that Hudson has had so much success in music activities for the past eight years.

It is a very popular na- tivity for the girls, this year numbering thirty-five members. They presented a program in November, the proceeds of which were used to help pay for the grand piano. It has grown to be such a popular activity that now we have a “B” Glee Club and also a Junior Glee Club. The latter is composed of members from the Junior High while the “B” Glee Club is composed of regular high school students. The Boys’ Glee Club was organized in 1924. This club deserves much credit for the interest the thirty-three members have taken in it. The members practice every Monday morning. Their first public appearance this year was at the Annual Music Concert given April 16.

T R U E B L U E MUSIC FESTIVAL One of the finest projects of the Music Department this year was the sponsoring of a Music festival on May seventeenth, the purpose of which was to develop a greater appreciation of music among young people. Eight schools from surrounding communities took part, and each one presented a twenty minute program of music. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the program was the band marching by several different bands. Such a project as this has a very worthy motive, and no doubt similar festivals will be held next year.
