Over a hundred students took part in the cast, chorus, and orchestra, and some excellent gypsy talent was discovered among the Leydenites. The operetta was under the direction of Miss Fetherston and Mrs. Ellinwood, assisted by Mr. Stark.

The sophomore girls’ ftlee club has done splendid work under the supervision of Miss Fethers ton, who came to us this year from Arlington Heights. The girls were assigned Wednesday night for their lehearsals, and, due to the encouragement they received, the group made an excellent showing. Because they have had a year of glee club woik, much is expected of them next year. Solo work has been encouraged in the boys’ glee club with surprising results. In the recent operetta, several boys were given leading parts, in which solos weie sung. This group was under Miss Fetherston’s direction. The boys were also interested in group singing which proved to be a successful and popular activity. The junior and senior girls and one sophomore made up the other glee club. Work for the music festival at LibertyviHe was one of the main events this year. This group of gills was well represented by soloist in the operetta. The girls, being interested in solo and group work, are striving to do better work. Mrs. Florence Ellinwood, who has been with the Senior girls four years, had chaige of this group, and she has worked hard to make the class pleasant and interesting, besides accomplishing a great deal of work.

MUSIC FESTIVAL OF 1931 This year brought the third annual Northwest Conference musical festival, which was held in the Libertyville gymnasium on Mon day, May 18, before a very large audience. There were five separate divisions—a band of 130, an orchestra of 110, a girls’ glee club of 200, a boys’ glee club of 100 and a chorus numbering 300 students from the Conference schools. Mr. Raymond Dvorak, director of the glee clubs at the University of Illinois, was again guest conductor. Ivey den was represented by a hundred students, who returned with a new vision of the inspiration that can be gained from singing and playing in a large group. They were also enriched by the making of new friends among students from other communities, and a spirit of comradeship was developed which should do much toward the strengthening of good will among the conference schools.
