Mrs. Marion E. Cotton, director of music at New Trier, originally spon- sored the idea of the festival, and school was dismissed for a day in or- der that students might have a chance to attend the affair. The festival was a two day affair, being held at the north shore suburb on the first day and at Oak Park on the second. It was quite an innova- tion in musical circles and came about as the result of a suggestion made by Mrs. Cotton at a music conference some time ago. The schools were dis- cussing the possibilities of a huge con- test between the various musical or- ganizations, but due to the unfriendly spirit of rivalry which such a contest usually arouses, Mrs. Cotton suggested substituting the festival in its place. Eight Schools Enter The eight high schools participating in the festival were Lyons, La Grange; Deerfield-Shields ; Highland Park; Pro- viso, Maywood; 'Oak Park and River Forest, Oak Park; York, Elmhurst; Ww aukegan, Waukegan ; Morton, Cice- ro; and New Trier, Winnetka. Each afternoon a program was pre- sented, beginning at 2:15 o'clock, dur- ing which each school displayed the talent of some one organization of its music department. In the evening at 8:15 o'clock the program was doubly interesting because it consisted of numbers by a huge orchestra, a band, boys' chorus, girls' chorus, and mixed chorus. In each separate chorus, there were approximately 300 students sing- ing, while in the mixed chorus there were nearly 700 voices blending in the melodious numbers selected for them to sing by discerning directors. New Trier Takes Part New Trier was represented by its two Glee clubs. The girls sang two numbers with Virginia Marshall and Catherine Bickham as soloists, and the boys gave a program of four short numbers. Mrs. Cotton was the only woman director on the program and not only presented her own clubs, but also, in the evenings' program to her was alloted the task of directing that immense mixed chorus. The festival was an excellent idea, It did away with that unpleasant at- mosphere so prevalent in contests, and brought forth, rather, a spirit of friend- liness and neighborliness between the participating schools. Everyone was truly enjoying the two days of music, of meeting people from other schools, comparing work but not harshly criticizing. Everyone was hap- py; everyone was willing to work and co-operate, with the result that fine and beautiful programs were rendered for the pleasure and benefit of all as- sembled. Miss Mary Jarvis of 623 Lake ave- nue, Wilmette, Miss Bernice Hubsch of Winnetka and Miss Mary Edith Stahl of Chicago have sailed to travel abroad until September. ---- Mrs. Benjamin Reach of 844 Pros- pect avenue and her young daughter, Betty Mae, are spending a fortnight at Atlantic City visiting friends.
