Music Feast Ends; Lacks Competition Ira George, superintendent of the O'Neill public school, report ed this week that the music festi val held here Wednesday, Thurs day and Friday, April 18, 19 and 20, was “very successful.” The festival was the first of its kind in O’Neill. In previous years the students were given ratings on their performances by judges, while this year there were no ratings given. Instead each stu dent was given a private inter view with a critic. When asked if the elimination of ratings had any effect on the enthusiasm of the studentes, Sis ter Flores, of the music depart ment at St. Mary’s academy, said that the students worked just as hard as in previous years on the preparation of their selections, but that “a little of the old spirit seemed to be lacking during the festival itself.” There were rumblings from the public. O'Neill tradi tionally has been the site of district music contests and the O'Neill schools usually fared ”T#rT well" against all comers. O’Neillites, accustomed to mu sic contests much like they are to basketball tournaments, like competition afforded by contests but conspicuously absent from the festival. Welcome flags flew throughout the festival despite snowfall on Thursday—the second day. There was plenty of color on the O’Neill streets, what with drum majors, drum majorettes and attractive band uniforms to be seen on the streets.
