music continued . . Verdie Burdette, oboeg Ellis Oliver, clarinet, Lorris West, basson, and Marion Oliver, flute. Both of these groups rated superior in the Southwest VVashington Music Meet and have assisted the school and various organizations in many ways. Another branch of the music department is the vocal group, namely, the girls, trio with Clara Ann Craig, Bertine Johnson, and Zela Faye Gillespie, the boys, quartet with Lorris West, Eddie Nelson, Jack Agnew and Bob Garrison, and the girls' glee club, boys' glee club and mixed chorus. All of the vocal groups rated well in the Music Meet and have appeared on several programs. The Music Department made its first formal bow to the music lovers in the form of the W'inter Concertu held December 14 in the high school auditorium. Through the combined efforts of Mr. Hasselblad, the students and the faculty, the concert was a tre- mendous success. The program consisting of various numbers from the instrumental and vocal departments was a fine musical treat. Music serves not only as a help to the students themselves, but also to the community as a whole in that as the students graduate the training they have received in music is really a great incentive towards finer musical appreciation in the school and city as a whole. The music department does not discriminate in its choice of material. A student with any musical talent at all is given a chance to develop this talent. VVith so many music courses to choose from he soon is able to find the group which interests him most, whether it be orchestra. band, vocal, or solo work. This year the Southwest VVashington Music Meet, which was held at Centralia, was conducted differently than in former years. All solo events were eliminated and the group events instead of being judged according to first, second, and third places, were rated as superior, excellent, or good. In this way, much of the unfriendly competition was eliminated. 59'
