Today's article deals with the history of the Festival. Succeeding articles will present interviews with perform- ing stars.) By RENE GNAM May Festival was born in 1894.! The First Festival opened on a Friday night with Ludwig von! Beethoven's "Leonore" Overture' No. 3 as the featured world. Prof. Albert A. Stanley, a found- ing father of the Festival, con- ducted the concluding concert of' a series of three on Saturday eve- ning. This concert featured the University Choral Union and Or- chestra in a well-received perform- ance of Guiseppi Verdi's "Re- quiem." University May Festival concerts have come a long way since the first Festival scheduled three con- certs in 1894. This year, as in past decades, a series of six con- certs will be presented in four days: one Thursday, one Friday, two Saturday, two Sunday. These Festival concerts are in- tended as a climax to the Uni- versity Musical Society activities of the year. During the year, 26 regular concerts are presented, in which a wide variety of musical literature is provided. The Society attempts to present a balance between classic, roman- tic and contemporary music. Con- certs, focus attention: on selections which remain as stock repertoire of the musical world. They are intended to provide an opportuni- ty for listeners to hear the best of the masters as well as choice selections from the romantic school and those of contemporary com- posers. The history of the Festival feat- ures a listing of the world's lead- ing musicians. Top-notch sym- phony orchestras, operatic and' concert stage soloists perform yearly in the Hill Auditorium con- certs. Through the years, the Fes- tival has presented choral, oper-. atic and symphonic works. Ameri- can and world premieres have also been featured. University Musical Society, the sponsoring organization, was form- ed in 1879. Its major purpose was to establish a tie with Uni- versity music and that of the com- munity. In its initial years it suc- ceeded in providing a stimulous for quality music. Then, in 1894, the Society announced a new "An- nual May Festival." Emil Mollen- hauer and the Boston Festival Or- chestra were listed as major at- tractions. The first annual Festival more than succeeded. Advertised and publicized nationally, the concert series attracted music lovers\ from all areas of the country. Special railroad rates were intitiated and committees were soon set up to provide for publicity, transporta- tion and housing. So successful was the publicity campaign that University Musical Society offi- cials were at a loss as to how to accommodate the sudden rush of concert-goers. People flocked to Ann Arbor. After the concert series had con- cluded, it was favorably reviewed in the nation's press as a new in- stitution of lasting value. In suc- ceeding years, the Musical Society expanded the annual series to four, five, and then six concerts. Each' dolf Petrak, New York City Opera year, the series is more of a suc- cess. Featured artists for this year's May Festival series include: Eu- gene Ormandy and the Philadel- phia Orchestra; Thor Johnson and the University Choral Union; Mar- guerite Hood and the Festival Youth Chorus; Hilde Gueden, Metropolitan Opera soprano; Lois Marshall, Canadian concert so- prano; Martha Lipton, Metropoli- tan Opera contralto; Lois Marsh- all, American mezzo-soprano; Ru- tenor; Harold Haugoh, noted Anner- ican concert tenor; Lawrence Win- ters, New York Opera baritone; Byron Janis, outstanding contem- porary American pianist; Zino Francescatti, world-renowned vio- linist; Vitya Vronsky and Victor Babin, distinguished duo-pianists; Jane Hobson, American mezzo-so- prano; Inge Borkh, renowned Ger- man soprano; Erika von Wagner Stiedry, nairrator-actor-singer; and Lester McCoy, distinguished con- ductor. I -Daily-Peter Song FRESH AIR CAMP-Off to Fresh Air Camp they go to give It a spring cleaning. A WEEK'S WORK. ld UA By DICK TAUB It takes a lot of work to get a summer camp in order.

Weiderman and Hayden the entire week, because nobody hite. seemed, to want to work on the first day. Monday is always a bad day anyway," Dick Riederer, '58, publicity chairman for the event, explained., The group met the bus in the back of the Administration build- ing about 1 p.m. where tags were distributed with the workers' names and the group to which they were assigned. Work On Boats Upon arrival at the .Camp the groups immediately set to work. First assignment was removal of benches from the boat house. "I don't think we ought to stack them," one pledge offered. "They have to be taken down for the painting later in the week." "Oh, but that won't be till Fri- day and I'm not comning back Fri- day," someone answered. Then began the boat scraping. One girl tentatively applied a scraper to the bottom of a boat, but nothing happened. She pushed a little harder and still nothing happened. Finally, taking a deep breath, she pushed with all her might, and the paint began to flake off. Each group began work on a boat, and soon there was a steady, rhythmic din on the metal bot- toms, as the brushers and scrapers got the feel of the job. Window Washing One group of women, armed with tin cans, rags, and ammonia attacked the windows of the main lodge. However, work was tem- porarily halted as a nest of hor- nets caused a delaying action.m After a heroic rally by the men with brooms and rolled newspap- ers, the women returned to work. No one was injured. With groans about sore shoul- ders, shudders at the dead hornets, the insides of the windows were washed. Many of the employees of the camp thought Ithat the " women would not deign to wash win- dows. They were surprised. The only major complaint was that the, outside was really the dirty part, and that the windows hard- ly looked cleaner. "It's so frus- trating." Refreshment Break About 4 p.m. the group knocked off for cokes and ice-cream. Then to the buses and back to Ann Ar- bor. The Fresh Air camp is located. near Pinckney, about 24 miles north of Ann Arbor. Its 26 per- manent buildings, painted green and brown, overlook Patterson Lake. It is supported with funds from University Tag Days, Michigras, alumni donors, and community welfare agencies for the benefit of children from broken homes.
