Qroups Provide Experience This year the Department of Music Education placed special emphasis upon small musical groups. Members of the Department have participated in brass, woodwind, and string ensembles. Of these ensembles, the brass ensemble has been particularly active, having made several public appear- ances. A concert group, consisting of the more advanced instrumental players has performed at Sunday afternoon recitals. Experience of sight-reading and ensemble playing gained from participation in these small groups has proven invaluable. The College Chorus has presented several college assembly programs and provided sacred music for college vesper services. Besides preparation for programs, importance of sight-reading choral literature was stressed. One of the most popular vocal groups on campus, the Sophomore Women ' s ensemble, furnished music for many college activities. The return of the Madrigal Singers after two years, met with great approval. Treble voices were employed exclusively.

The chief purpose of this club is to further the development of childhood education and to help enrich the background of the prospective American elementary teacher. Monthly meetings are held, at which time various programs are enjoyed and students and faculty become better acquainted. Under the capable leadership of Dr. Retan and Miss Mildred Grigsby, sponsors, and the club officers, this organization is really making a name for itself on the M. S. T. C. campus.
