Although Wood River had the only all-girl corps participating in competition at the American Legion's state convention in Chicago last weekend, the corps lacked the "flash" or "general effect" which Penning hopes to attain. He said the girls did a good job considering the way corps are handled in this area.

"Our stuff is all old-type drum corping and it didn't appeal to the judges." Penning stressed that the girls and corps committeemen gained much experience and information from the stale convention and plan to profit by it. The Chicago appearance by the Wood River girls brought enthusiastic applause from parade and contest observers, but did not impress judges because "general effect." Tliis is easily explainable, Penning believes. The Chicago corps p) into drum and bugle work "in a big way," with nightly practice sessions and sonic members receiving pay. They have few money worries and can change uniforms when they desire. There is also a difference in the type of music played and instruments used in that area as compared to what the girls are accustomed to in competition in this area.

"In scores, we stood to place much higher, but fell down on "general effect," Penning said. "In maneuvering, we're not bad, but girls are not as military as boys." The ratings for the Wood River corps were 9.3 out a possible 10 points on inspection and ou" of a possible 30 points for march-' ing on the field. Their rating on "general effect" put them in last place of the seven corps participating. Nevertheless, the Wood Rivei corps has "got what it takes" to build a corps. From indications, there will be a large percentage of the present membership remaining with the corps next year, providing a good basis from which to.

build. Tonight, the girls will practice for Sunday competition in East Louis during activities sponsored by I ho Shrino Club as benefit for the Crippled Children's Hospital in St. Louis.
