The trip was very much enjoyed by the 34 orchestra members who. knowing that they had honestly won at least second place by the judges but by disputes and penalties brought about by the body of six directors, had been eliminated, have displayed some very fine sport­ smanship in their evident lack of any hard feelings over the unfairness of the treatment they received at the national contest FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 22. 1941) Three soloists of the high school band and orchestra played in the regional contest held at Flint, Mich.
