The organization elected to office lohn Foster, presidentg Betty Watson, vicefpresidentg Patty Worces- ter, secretaryg and Barbara Pering, treasurer. Perfection through practice occupied the minds and time of all orchestra members as April fourth, the day of the District Music Festival at Lawrence, drew near. Long hours were spent on King of Yvetot, one of their contest numbers. After the state contest came another performance in the orchestras endless list of demands, playina for graduation. As the year drew to a close, Mr. George and his willing colleagues could look back with satisfaction upon another successful season. Mission Mitsui.

TO PERSONS of little or no talent, fingering musty music, tuning stubborn instruments, and practicing long hours to accomplish perfection, would seem a tedious task. Nevertheless, the fifty-five members of the orches- tra proved themselves worthy of being called musicians and made Shawnee-Mission proud of them. Under the direction of Harold E, George, the group gave Christmas and spring concerts and played in exchange assemblies. The Cavalcade, always an out- standing event, was made even more successful by the orchestras participation, Music appreciation in the dis- trict's grade schools was promoted by the orchestras many performances in the schools.
