II is unfortunate that in the whole
history OF Mount Vernon there was
heretofore no great common interest.
All who were striving to make the city
more livable community have been
working In detached groups, whose
sphere OF influence radiated but to
limited few. and was confined to their
own particular sect or organization.
The Festival Association is the first
movement which lays claim to being
thoroughly cosmopolitan. Its officers
and members represent every condi.
tion and phase Of life in our city. Il
recognizes absolutely no lines of divi-
sion and you are truly welcome irres.
pective of your condition or afiiliation.
IL Is common meeting ground for the
people Of all the churches. II aims
to benefit alike the rich and the poor,
the young and the old, the educated
and the uneducated.
Its only qualification for member
ship is the ability to play the part Of a
lady or gentleman. and an ardent de-
sire TO achieve the best in life; that
best being represented first OF all by
real love OF fine music. II has no
creed except that of happiness and the
true enjoyment whose vanishing
leaves a good taste behind. II recog.
nizes no sect except that of good fel-
lowship and kindly feeling. 1t holds
that there Is no limit in this world to
the esthetic qualities of mind and soul
to which we may attain and is founded
on the highest possible standards Of
artistic excellence. Its aims are to
lead people to true comprehension
and appreciation OF fine music. Its
