When Fred Waringls Pennsylvanians appeared in Minneapolis last November, we arranged a tea honoring Betty Ann MacCall, who has been a member of the Waring group since she graduated from MacPhail College two years ago. One of the biggest triumphs of the year for pianist Mary Helen Schmidt was the 1960 Young Artists contest sponsored by the Womenis Association of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. She won first place with a cash prize of S350 and a choice of two scholarships: a 4--year full tuition scholarship at the Manhattan School of Music in New York or a S250 to S500 per year scholarship to the University of Minnesota. Mary Helen also won first place in the organ contest sponsored by the Twin Cities Chapter of A.G.O. This brought her a cash award and the opportunity to compete in the A.G.O. regional contest. Members of Mu Epsilon who appeared on the Annual All-College Spring Concerto Program were Jeanne Reher, Kaaren Strand, and Ellen Erickson. Faye Ekberg and Kaaren Strand gave a joint junior recital in May and Jeanne Reher was presented in a senior recital in April. Jeanne played the Prokofieff Sonata No. 3, Opux 28, at the Senior Presentation Convocation and the Rondo of Beethoven's Emperor Concerto at commencement, Marlene Testa was awarded this yearis Mu Phi Pat- roness Scholarship. The Mu Phi District Conference was held in Minneapolis on May 6. Delegates from live chapters were present. Each was represented on the excellent program, and from our group Jeanette Tosten played a clarinet solo accompanied by Faye Ekberg. Two of the highlights of the year were initiation and a springtime visit from National President, Rosalie Speciale. On May 26 we welcomed Pat Lynch and Bonnie L. Carlson into membership.-ELLEN WILSON ERICKSON, Historian.
