This has been rather a busy year in music. We started off with a bang by getting ready to give a Christmas Cantata. This Cantata was given at the Ottawa Auditorium, December 18, and was done very nicely. At this time grades l through 6 gave an op- eretta called At The Court of Santa Claus This program took a bit of time and patience from our new music director, Miss Ogle, whom we are very happy to have with us. We have a large mixed chorus this year that has been working very much on different num- bers. We have also a girls sextet and mixed octet that went to Bowling Green. Both brought home superior ratings. Printing by THE GRAY PRINTING CO. Fostoria, Ohio There were also two persons who sang solos, Edward Kersh, who received a superior rating, and Sally Pierman, who received an excellent rating. We all were very proud of these groups. Edward Kersh, the sextet, and the octet en- tered into state competition at Columbus, on April 9. We were all sure that if they would sing the way they were capable of singing they would come home from there also with superior ratings. Ask any member of the group how they came out when they met the best from all over the state. At the time of this writing we do not know. We now know: the octet rated superior, in Columbus, and the sextet, Excellent. Ed rated Excellent. Photography by STARTS STUDIO 43
