The privilege isn't too hard to earn, but hard enough to make it a real honor and to set a high standard of excellence for the glee clubs. During the first semester all boys who are interested are admitted to the boys' club, but only thirty-five or six of the most talented and industrious are retained for the second semester pubic performances and contest work. There are two girls' clubs, Reserve and Senior. All beginners join the Reserve Club and as its members show talent, improvement, and good attitude they are promoted to the Senior Club which appears in contests and public recitals.

Any pupil, down to and including the sixth grade, who has ambition and some talent. Beginning students, of either Junior or Senior High School grade, are given personal instruction for the first few Weeks and then placed in one of several small groups. Each of these groups meets once per week for an hour of class instruction. When the pupil shows sufii- cient improvement he is placed in the Junior Band or Orchestra. As he becomes proficient in rhythm, pitch, and technique the pupil is pro- moted to one of the Senior organizations. This year nearly one hundred and twenty-five students have taken advantage of group instruction and the success of the plan is demonstrated by the excellence of our band and orchestra. fbzitzunzarzfufiorz o - Qxzcfiastztz Myrtle Cornell, Violin Lorraine Kusek, violin Viola Puncochar, violin Margie .lean Smith. violin Betty Smith. violin hdward Puncochar, violin liinil lirikar, violin I.:tve1nu Lakin, trombone lmr-nliy Auble. 4-ello Kenneth llglelioff. trombone Josephine ltinnans, string' bass Ilutli Auble, bass Virp:inia Clark, string bass l-lilwin llitrhman, trumpet .Ii-:Annette i'li-ments. flute Lloyd Sark. trumpet Barbara Dale, flute ilaroltl Jirali. trumpet Norma Mae Snell. alto 1-larinvt Alilclreml Smith, French horn Jack Petty, violin Marilyn Dale, violin Eleanore VVolfe violin Mae Klein, violin Virginia Davis. violin lillsie X'Viberg, violin Opal Miller, violin Simon Dantezak, violin H wry Ali-Beth, oboe Hwrlan Wyriclt. saxziphone Hi-1:-n Work. saxaphone X'irg.:'inia Sack, French horn lilualn-ne lluncm-har. clarinet I+-onnrrl Salton, clarinet llayinmnl Ihlugosh. saxapliunt- Lillian liarty. clarinet .Xppgt-liiw Warhtrlv, bnssfmn .lf-v Vaprnn, bass saxapliono llnth Haas tympani Lillian Kusvlt. bass drum Hiila Knupal, haritmic lmvid Milliken, snare drum 36 I 33

' a cganficfasz 36 contents The week-end preceding March 18 finds faculty wives busily sewing yards of red material while Mr. Duncan and Mr. Bell tie threads and press garments. Why all the activity? New choir robes for the glee clubs and they must be ready for the Loup Valley Music Festival. The Annual Music Festival has become one of the most popular events in the Valley, and Ord feels honored to play host. The affair brings some five hundred visitors to town and gives the students training in public appear- ance. As soon as the Festival is over plans get under way for the District Music Contest. This year Ord entered at Albion and earned a total of fifty-five points out of a possible sixty-two. Five of Ordis thirteen entries were classified excellent, and eight, superior. The groups contesting were band, orchestra, glee clubs, and a reed quartet composed of Eugene Puncochar, Opal Miller, Leonard Sobon, and Dorothy Auble. Instrumental soloists were Jeannette Clements, Ruth Auble, Wilma Severns, Eugene Puncochar, Ed- warg Puncochar, and Dick Koupalg vocal soloists were Dorothy Auble and Reuben Coo . Ord's success in the District stimulated interest in the State Contest and instead of taking a vacation from their practicing our young musicians continued to work over-time, first, to prepare for a benefit recital, and second, to make a favorable ap- pearance at the State Contest where the band, orchestra, girl's glee club, and several soloists were entered. To the tooting of horns and scraping of violins is added the clatter of typewriters as the commercial students devote hours to working up the speed necessary to win a first place in the approaching commercial contest. March and April are busy months in our school for contest is in the air, music, dramatic, commercial, and agriculture. This year the District Commercial contest was held at Kearney. Ord entered teams in bookkeeping, novice typewriting, championship typewriting, novice short- hand, and spelling. The contestants earned four awards out of a possible seven by placing three individual firsts, three team firsts, and several seconds, thirds, fourths, and fifths in the six contest events. The people who won the commercial honors for the school were Lorraine Kusek, Lillian Kusek, Lillian Nevrivy, Erma Novotny, Maxine Jones, Louise Petska, Kenneth Eglehoff, Virginia DeHart, Ruth Haught, and Eva Umstead. Individual firsts were taken by Lorraine Kusek in bookkeeping, Kenneth Eglehoff in championship typing, and Lillian Kusek in spelling. Teams placed first in bookkeeping, championship type- writing, and spelling. On April 24 a team of seven contestants made a second trip to Kearney to enter the State Commercial contest where they placed fourth among forty-eight qualify- ing schools. An impressive number of victories has been chalked up by the Ord Vocational Agriculture Department during the past several years. A summary published by the North Platte Station shows that Ord has won thirty-two first places since the contests were begun in 1929. This is twice the number received by the nearest competitor. Our trophy case was made the richer this spring by two cups brought back from North Platte by Ord for the third and last time. The crop judging team composed of Kenneth Koelling, Wilbur Fuss, and Harlan Wyrick took the crop judging event for the third time, entitling us to keep the trophy. Another trio composed of Koell- ing, Fuss, and Robert Jacobs won the dairy products cup for the third time. In stock judging Ord boys took two thirds, a fourth, and a fifth. Dodge and Koelling did outstanding work in this division. Koelling also placed first in dairy products. Wyrick took a first in poultry judging, and Dale Melia placed second in the speech contest. The success of these boys in contest speaks well for the Vocational Agriculture De- partment, and if Valley County does not have her share of efficient young farmers it will not be the fault of Mr. Kovanda. To supplement the regular work of the course a local F.F.A. club has been organiz- ed and affiliated with the National Organization of Future Farmers of America. I35
