From this club, three sopranos, three altos and three baritones were chosen to make up the S. A. B. Chorus which repre- sented Park in the District Meet. This group won first place and thus was entitled to compete at the State Meet held in Great Falls. The Conora Club is made up of twenty-seven girls who meet on Thursdays, after school.

The Junior Glee Club is made up of thirty-one girls, who meet every Wednesday night after school. This group also sang be- fore the assembly. Besides the regular work, Fri- day entertainments have been giv- en in the music line by Hal Carter with his jazz band, orchestra-or what have you? Hal always finds a ready audience among the Park High students. Wallace Woods and Bill Squire presented a trombone and baritone duet. At the District Music Meet held in Bozeman the 28th and 29th of March, Park was represented in Page Fifty-Three sixteen events. Of these we won five first places, as follows: Richard Farnsworth in Boy's Solo, Eleanor Speaker in Contralto Solog Wallace Woods in the Trom- bone Solog Indabel Landes, John McCa1'thy and Mae Arness in the Instrumental Trio and the Soprano, Alto and Baritone Chorus.

Third places were won in the Piano Solo, Girls' Duet and Boys' Quartet. In most of these events more than three contestants. Besides the winners of first place, Park will also send Donald Sharp, Ralph Seideman, Harry Stachwick and John McCarthy in the Violin Quartet: Imogene An- derson in the Cornet Solog Adeline Lawler in the Saxophone Solo, and Robert Neal in the Flute Solo. Special mention ought to be made of the accompanists. They play important parts but seldom get any credit. During the year the Music De- partment produced Variegated Vanities, a musical program con- sisting of two operettas and other numbers from the rest of the Music, Department. The Department is planning' on producing an operetta after the Music Meet.
