Congratulations Congratulations to you, Mr. McIntyre, and all the students who have worked under your direction during the past year. Such a mark as you have made this year in your musical activities will not soon be forgotten. A title of State Champions is one to be proud of. Few people realize the real value of the musical training nofw offered in our Public Schools. It certainly is a good way to spend oneis leisure time and at the same time develop one's appreciation of a fine art. Many things which should be followed in later life such as: Cooperation, and stick-to-it-iveness are practiced by the students of this department. Keep up the good work, Mr. Mclntyre, and lots of luck next year. Also We wish to congratulate the solos and ensembles who represented 'our school at Bowling Green in the District Solo and Ensemble contest. The Brass sextette received a superior rating, Evelyn Failor received an excellent rating in the Soprano Solos, Mary Hilty an excellent rating in the baritone solos, and Melville Fryer and the girls sextette received very good ratings in the trombone and .singing contest respectively. The 'clarinet quartet also received a rating of very good. Twenty-five

McIntyre Orchestra Sets New Record In September when Mr. Miclntyre raised his baton for the opening selection of the season, he found that thirty-four musicians were in their respective places. Under his capable direction and supervision they carried on successfully throughout the ear. The orchestra took an active part in the state meets as well as local activities. On Wednesday, March 31, they journeyed to Lima to broadcast a half hour program over Station WBLY. On Saturday, April 10, it was the only orchestra to represent Allen County in the Northwestern District Contest held at Bluffton. Delphos, Ada, and Spencerville were the three contestants, all receiving an average rating of Excellent. This is the highest rating the Spencerville Orchestra has ever received. The crowning achievement of the year was the participation in the State Orches- tra Finals, held at Columbus, April 24. Here the orchestra tied for second place, receiving a rating of Excellent. This is the first time the orchestra has been per- mitted to enter the State Finals. Other engagements that they nlled were: County Music Festival at Memorial Hall, in November, Class Plays, Operettas, Commencement Programs and other school activities. Two of the outstanding selections played by the orchestra were, Agnus Dei and Symphony Miniature in D Minor , which was the Contest number. Commencement exercises will find thirteen of the members on the stage rather than in their places in the orchestra. In connection with the instrumental music of the school, a group of the members with Mr. Mclntyre, organized the German Band . This group entertained with various numbers during the year in extrexiely enjoyable style. On Tuesday, April 13 they won first place in the Amateur Hour held in the High School Auditorium. D. J. M.
