Coming through district and state contests with flying colors they more than duplicated their performance of winning the first contest in l924. Fribourghouse Tops Individuals. Individual performances were led this year by Rolland Fri- bourghouse, sterling clarinetist. Lending his talent to the band, orchestra, small ensembles and solos, he earned his citation cord and a state superior solo rating. Freshmen, Sophomores Show Promise. Consti- tuting more than half of the band and ranking high in other groups and ensembles, the soph- omore and freshman class strengthen the hopes in future music activities, Led individually by Mary Louise Milliken, Elizabeth Hohf, Ralph Boone and Ruth Rognan, they all but equal the ranking of the upperclassmen, Band Ends Successful Season. The high school bond, under the direction of J. H. Prugh, com- pleted a successful season with a State division I ranking, The highlight of the season's perform- ance was the annual concert which gave splen- did proof of the band's capabilities. Orchestra ls Credit to Director. Working un- der difficulties, Miss Jorgine Hansen in her first year at Yankton high developed an orchestra which would be a credit to any South Dakota high school Handicapped by an allotment of only two hours of practice a week, much outside work was necessary to prepare the orchestra for the Valse Triste which showed mastery. Milliken Talented Sophomore. Gaining two state superior rankings in her freshman year, Mary Louise Milliken proved herself a talented musician. Besides her startling performances with violin and piano, she is also an accomplished singer, Two Triumphs for Senior. For the second successive year, Ed Vinatieri, senior horn soloist, again came through with a superior rating. Playing one of the most difficult of instruments, he gained his high ranking through a marvelous tone quality. Clearness ls SoIoist's Asset. Possessing a strikingly clear voice, Thelma Hale was Yank- ton high's only vocal representative in the state contest. Being a senior, her lost year of high school proved to be a triumphant one.
