Nyssa High School Musicians Win
Three of Fifteen Nationwide Awards
Nyssa high school musicians
won three of 15 national scholar
ships, worth more than $350 each,
to a six - week summer music
school-in California, according to
Robert Q Smith, high school mu
sic instructor.
The scholarships went to Lloyd
Cartwright, Roger Bergam and
Dick McPartland, all students of
• Smith.
‘It is seldom that more than
one of these awards go to a single
region,” Smith said. “ Nyssa can
be proud in having three students
chosen in a single ytar.”
The scholarships were estab
lished by Art Dedrick. a composer
and arranger for a publishing
company. The awards pay for
transportation, tuition and other
expenses for the term at Camp
Pacific academy a t Carlsbad,
Calif. The term begins about
June 30 and ends in mid-August.
All three of the winners are
active in h i g h school music
groups, including dance band,
marching band, concert band, and
pep band.
