P. C. H. S. BAND The band, under the able direction of Mr. Horace Frederick, has again proved itself to be an exceptionally talented group. Competing in Class B they placed in the first group in the district contest at Clinton and repeated their success in the state contest at Champaign. The state honors included a recommendation that the band compete in the National Contest in the summer of 1938. Mary Louise Kennedy won first in the solo contest for alto saxophone. She will go to Columbus, Ohio, in May to take part in the National Contest. The other soloists who entered the state contests were Norma Jean Robertson, marimba; Robert Vinson, baritone; Donald Robertson, snare drums. These contestants placed in the second division.
