One hundred and fifty high school students from all corners of Pennsylvania were participants in this memorable event. These boys and girls were enter- tained with a dance on Friday. music was supplied by the Melody Men from State College. Saturday afternoon mov- ies. courtesy of Shapiro Theatre. were attended by the group and on Saturday night. a banquet was held in the high school cafeteria. The students have worked many months in order to prepare for this event. To participate in the All-State festival. it was necessary for them to be in the upper third of their District Orchestra. then. only one can be taken from any school. This accounts for the high qual- ity in this final orchestra. The orchestra was under the direction U 1235? 1 .4 ?
