Another ensemble with a highly superior rat- ing was the woodwind quartet. This group con- sisted of Janice McPeek, lst flute: Betty Matthews, 2nd flute: Jean Dilworth, lst clarinet: and Mar- garette Garrison, 2nd clarinet. This quartet was started into rehearsal two years ago, and has won all the contests it has participated in. The string quartet, composed of Dorothy Mc- Connell, violin: Genevieve Daves, violin: Dorothy Dunbar, viola: Marcia Barbour, 'cello, was another winner of a highly superior rating in the Southwest- ern contest. This ensemble has played for many outside activities, and is in constant demand for assembly programs. Although the string quartet is not a new idea in ensemble work, this particular quartet has been outstanding in the high grade of Page 17 Back in vocal department again, we find a new group this year in presenting the mixed quartet. This quartet included Evelyn Wheeler, Marjorie Plank, Hugh Calvin, and Paul Wycoff. Although not popularized to a great extent, this ensemble was one of the outstanding highly superior entries in the contest. Keeping up the reputation as being one of the finest orchestras in this part of the country, .the high school orchestra again won a highly superior in the Southwestern contest. The contest number was the overture from Hansel and Gretel. Through the efforts of the students and the con- ductor, Paul Painter, the orchestra of this season is better than ever. Perhaps this same phrase has been used before,but as Mr. Painter himself explain- ed, each year the groups advance to a higher qual- ity: and this season has been one of the highest spots and peaks of advancement, particularly for this year's orchestra. In the ensemble division again we present the woodwind trio. This ensemble won in the South- western contest, and also performed in the Young Artists Recital. It's personel consists of Jean Dilworth, clarinet: Wade Fite, oboe: and Betty Matthews, flute. This group had been rehearsed but a few times, and wasa new addition in the en- semble division. Although the brass sextette did not enter com- petition in the Southwestern contest, they won their highly superior in the Wichita district contest. By so doing they won the privilege of playing in the National Regional at Colorado Springs. The personal includes Bob Misak, horn: Ernest Gentry, cornet: Forest Robinson, cornet: Gerald Nolan, baritone: Bob Thompson, tuba: and Bob Riggs, work it has maintained throughout the year. trombone. 44, ..
