Both the SeXtette and Orchestra have
received signal honors at the Annual
Southeastern meet at Durant. The Sex.
tette has participated three years and
was awarded the loving cup at two
events. This is a splendid record when
it is remembered that every high school
throughout the entire southeastern dis
trict, comprising six counties, also com
petes for the honors.
1t is nearly always foregone con.
clusion that the High School Orchestra
will rang highest in the orchestral con.
test, and will return with the loving
cup.
Twice in succession the Ardmore High
School Orchestra has had no competi.
ton and four successive times the or.

a most important department in the
curriculum of the Ardmore public

recognition as such, is the department

department has been under the capable
leadership of Miss Ella j. Peterson,
VINO returns this year to continue the

estimate the value of this department.
for in the development of the child for
sincere appreciation for good music.
there is developed the highest appre.

more than $50 pupils have already en-
rolled for this work in these organiza,
tions this year.

there an organization better known in
school circles than the Ardmore High

Since its organization a number of
years ago the orhestra has been under
the directorship of Sol NJ. Lowenstein.
Although the organization is given the
name of High School Orchestra" tai
ent is selected from any grade in the
schools, and the reputation the orches-
ira has gained for splendid work Is in
deed one which commands the respect
of the entire community.
LOwenstein's Leadership Unsurpassed
While a number of members of the
orchestra graduated from the high
school last spring, and will not be u
part of the organization this year, it is
assured that under Mr.. Lowenstein's
training the orchestra will continue to
maintain leadership of all Oklahoma
high school musical organizations.
