MUSICAL GROUP THE ORCHESTRA under the acclaimed direction of Prof. Royer is a group which functions on numerous occasions for the mutual pleasure of its audience and its members. It is composed of music majors and other instrumentalists who arc desirous of "keeping in practice." Annually, music majors, in the role of student conductors, lead the orchestra through classic strains to the beat of quaking batons. The orchestra culminated its year's study when in lieu of a spring concert, it accompanied the first opera, Hadyn's The Songstress, in \VI. M. C. history. THE GLEE CLUB is composed of a group of women who, under the watchful eye of Professor de Long, willingly vocalize once a week, for the sheer pleasure of making pleasing music. Membership is entirely vol- untary. An nrmual spring concert inco which the girls throw themselves whole- heartedly is the climax of the year's serious rehearsing. THE CHOIR, usually in its fullest capac- ity, proceeds to Levine Hall every Thursday night for its weekly rehearsal. This formal aggregation is composed of those who sing for pleasure and the love of good music. On Sunday, fully attired in stately vestments, the group renders spiritual selections for the traditional chapel service. Conscientious choir members arc reward- ed in the spring when the group makes sev- eral trips to carry its music to other cities. For its friends on the campus, the choir presents a full concert in Robinson Garden on Baccalaureate Sunday. Under the excel- lent direction of Professor de Long, the choir has established :l lasting reputation of quality.
