Music Educators ' National Conference MENC Officers: Mary Bourne, President; Alex Ragsdale, Vice-Presi- dent; James Fay. Secretary; Dimitri Kauriga, Treasurer. The Music Educators ' National Conference is a pro- fessional organization for music educators and music students who are united in one corporate purpose: the advancement of music education. The chapter has already participated in the biennial national convention recently held in Philadelphia. Academy students who are members will have the opportunity to further their education by participating in campus, state, division, and national meetings, and they will have the opportunity to become acquainted with professional leaders. While the Academy chapter has just started, there are many indications the chapter will growrapidly in strength and numbers because there is enthusiastic student interest. The Da Capo staff sincerely hopes that the Academy chapter will grow in stature under Miss Weir ' s capable guidance.
