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.

Over a hundred students took part in the cast, chorus, and orchestra, and some excellent gypsy talent was discovered among the Leydenites.
