D. McIntyre Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast . This quotation does not imply the idea that there have been savage beasts to charm in our high school, yet if the occasion had ever demanded it, there is no doubt but that we would have been able to soothe them. The high class of music of the orchestra has been brought about under the capable direction of Mr. McIntyre, who has patiently worked with us. The orchestra, composed of 36 members, has met twice each week throughout the year. The audiences have been very well pleased with the beautiful selections played by the orchestra at various high school entrtainmnts. On Friday, March 27, the orchestra took part in the Allen County Music Festival at the Memorial Hall in Lima, and on Monday, April 6, attended the Northwestern Music Festival at North Baltimore where they received the rating of excellent. Several members also took part in the State Musical at Ada on April 17. Ten members of the orchestra are to be promoted to the higher rank of gradu- ate professionals, leaving their coveted positions as an incentive for the orcehstra of '36 and '37. H. M. G. '36

SCHOOL RATES HIGH IN MUSIC It has been well proven that Spencerville High School is very well represented in the musical field. The Glee Clubs and the Orchestra received excellent ratings at the musical con- tests held at Bluifton and North Baltimore. The school was very capably represented at the solo and ensemble contest held at Ohio Northern University. Evelyn Failor received one of the two superior ratings given for the soprano solo. The string quartet, composed of Dwight Becker, Dean Deniston, Ruth Hays, and Evelyn Failor, received the only excellent rating given for string ensembles. Kathryn Kelly also received an excellent rating for the horn solo. The boys' quartet, composed of Dwight Becker, Albert Sproul, Dean Deniston, and John Cochrung a flute solo by Vaughn Hiltyg trumpet solo by Wesley Sowards, and the girls' sextet composed of Hazel Goodwin, Frances Burnett, Mabel Stelzer, Ema- line Haller, Ruth Hays and Lela Bowen, all received very good ratings. The superior and excellent ratings were eligible to compete in the state contest at Oberlin. The value of meets of this kind is being rapidly realized, and has been proven by the fact that over five hundred high school musicians representing all classes, A, B, C, and CC, participated in this event. Not only do these musicians gain inspiration to improve their own playing or singing ability, but through this friendly rivalry, associations are made, many of which will last for years. Performing before a critical audience is one of the most profitable experiences a musician can have. Twenty-seve-n
