MUSIC ARTICLE The 1939-40 Music season progressed in much the same successful manner as has been carried out in the past. In May, 1939—after last year’s annual went to pres —James Benshlmol competed in the National Music Contest held at the World's Fair in San Francisco, California, and was rated the highest in the Superior bracket in the Tuba solos. Carrying on his good work, Ben-shlmol waa chosen to play in the Arizona All-8tate Orchestra in Phoenix, Arizona during the Annual Teachers' Convention in November. In addition to the basket ball games, various parades and school programs, the band broadcasted a program over station KGLU in Safford, Arizona, on March 16. At the Music Educators National Convention, which convened in Los Angeles, California, the Music Department had the honor of being represented in the National High School Chorus by Margaret Schade and Virginia Anderson. The chorus was made up of 300 voices from all parts of the United States. Then preparation began in earnest for the annual Music Festival to be held in Thatcher. As this annual goes to press, we feel certain that nearly every contestant will take top honors. Probable entries will be Vocal Solos Soprano Alto Tenor Bass Instrumental Solos Tuba Clarinet Snare Drum Accordion Plano Baritone Small Aisembles Clarinet Trio Girls' Trio Mixed Quartet Marie Cook Margaret Schade John Bonlne Bobby Brutinel James Benshlmol Betty Cook Buddy Raines Mariana Riley Virginia Anderson Bay Goodapeed Large Ensembles Band Girls' Glee Club Mixed Glee Club 27

ADVISORY COUNCIL This year changes have been made in the Advisory Council. In past years the council has consisted of 21 members. They were chosen by faculty approval upon application. This year there was a greater number who wished to become members and the faculty accepted every applicant, making an Increase of 20 members. The Council was divided into seven committees. Three new committees were added to the original four. The four original committees were the assembly Committee, General Control Committee, Social Committee, and the Clubs and Publications Committee. The latter was made into two separate committees, and the Scholastic and the Guidance are the other new committees. The Council has been active this year for the committees have turned in some good results. Of special interest is the school scrapbook that is being kept by the General Control Committee.
