NSEMBLE McGuffey has never been so active in music as this year. Besides the regular orchestra and glee club and the unusually large group of soloists, three vocal ensembles and one instru- mental ensemble were organized. The mixed quartet composed of Anastasia Minas, sopranog Marjorie Moore, altog Addison Wilson, tenorg and Bob Fichter, bass made several public per- formances including the Southwestern Ohio music contest. The quartet won an excellent rating at this contest and was advanced to the state contest at Oberlin. Here the quartet received a rating of good in competition with class A schools. The girl's triple trio, consisting of Barbara Wright, Geraldine Quillen, Elsa Baer, sopranosg Jane Young, Dorothy Evans, Bar- bara Kennedy, second sopranosg Marjorie Moore, Mary Ann Thome, and Joan Bradley altos, also received an excellent rat- ing at the Southwestern music contest and were entitled to enter the state event. At Oberlin they were granted an excellent rating after a sterling performance. The male quartet made an impressive showing at the district music contest but since their division was crowded with contest- ants from larger schools they did not qualify for the Oberlin event. John Young, first tenorg Edward Roe, second tenor, George Hunsinger, baritone and Dick Fichter, bass comprised the male quartet. The brass quartet made up of Quentin Hyde and Hal Fich- ter, first and second trumpets, Edward Roe and William Glasgow, first and second trombones, appeared before several school func- tions, one of which was the annual spring festival. 26
