The Orchestra under the direction of Mr. Jacques Gordon will play selections from fifteen of the com- positions that the orchestra has played at the Children's Concerts during the season. Score cards will be provided, but every child desiring to enter the contest will be asked to bring a lead pencil. Only those children who are writing score cards will have seats in the center section of the pavilion in front of the boxes. The Ravinia Club will present a medal to the child handing in the best score. Children will be asked to give the name of the composition, the composer, and the nationality of the composer. On the back of this program are the numbers from which the contest selections will be made. After the contest the orchestra will play two request selections that have received the greatest number of votes from the children as being their favorite compositions. Following intermission Jean Van Vlissingen will present the "Junior Van Vlissingen Dancers" assisted by Grace Nelson of the Gunn School of Music.
