Secretary Heltman explained that the IRS had a requirement that if and when the association should ever dissolve, funds remaining have to be distributed to an organization classified the same as NMMEA.

Priscilla's played out.

You might think Henry a showoff. Priscilla sure does. Actually he's just very comfortable. Even after 2% hours of vigorous playing. In fact, Henry's so comfortable he's forgotten that he's seated on the most accommodating chair a musician can own: The Wenger Music Chair. You see, Henry's not thinking about the disciplined support he gets from his new Wenger Chair. Or the way its seat is contoured to comfortably guide his frame. Henry's not even thinking about how the seat contour of his chair promotes proper diaphragmatic breathing, allowing him to play his flute for hours without an air shortage. Why, the only thing Henry's thinking about right now is his great sound. So why not show off a little yourself, Priscilla? Take that old chair back to the lunchroom and get a real musician's chair. The Wenger Music Chair. For information call 800-533-0393 toll free. In Minnesota, Alaska, Hawaii and Canada call 507-451-3010 collect.

There is a real problem of too many students being selected to be in the mixed chorus for proper staging. Wayne Anderson moved, seconded by Sam Pemberton, that each section of the All-State choirs be limited to 35 each. Motion passed. C. Vice-President, College-University-Harold Van Winkle-University persons in attendance expressed the opinion that there were too many sessions.
