Howard Rundle was the only entry in the clarinet solo, re- ceiving 80 points from the ad. judicator who advised him to make full use of the range o! bis instrument. The Frenchi horn solo was an open class, that is, open ta jun- iors and adults alike. The marks awarded were in accordance with this standard. In classes restricted to certain ages, the marks are graded making 9i- lowance for that fact. Therefore the marks of 80 receiveci by Eleanor Pickard, and 78 by Helen Knox for French harn solo were very good, and At is likely would have been several points higher if graded accord- ing ta age. Unfortunately, there were no other entries in th.s class. Another open class was the Oratorio Tenor, in which Tom Park, the only entrant, receiv- ed 78 marks. He was given high words of praise from Mr. Irwin who said he had a lovely voice, good style, delivery and dic- tion.
