This year McGuffey has made quite a name for herself in music and the spring concert was certainly an indication of this achievement. The championship McGuffey orchestra under the direction of Mr. A. D. Lekvold and Miami student conductors presented the first part of the program by playing two Bach chorales, a composition by Roberts and the Procession of the Sardar by Ippolition-Ivanow. Maurene Fields and Marjorie Moore played a violin duet which was followed by selections for string orches- tra. Under the baton of Miss Catherine Adams, assisted by Miami student conductors, the mixed chorus presented the works of several famed composers among which were Bach's Come Holy Spirit, Bless Thou the Lord by Ippoliton-Ivanow and Lincoln by Joseph Clokey. Along with the mixed chorus, the girl's triple trio and the mixed quartet sang several madigals. Both the triple trio and the mixed quartet had particapated in the state music contest at Oberlin. 29
