The March concert of Beethoven which fen lured Ruth Swanson as soloist, was an inspiration. With Mendelssohn’s “Hymn of Praise”, an overture to “Martha , and a rhumba from Harl McDonald's Second Symphony, the orchestra displayed versatility in the Spring Concert. Indeed, students have come to feel that they can tone up when its orchestra tunes up. Mr. William Schlicp, Director

The Male Quartet and Women’s Triple Trio turned into traveling musicians this year to present assembly programs at seven Northern Wisconsin schools and to hold rehearsals with the school's choral groups. Three weeks later, the itinerant String Quartet brought its music to four other towns. They have succeeded in bringing STC favorable publicity and also in turning the spotlight on their own worthwhile but little publicized activities. Subsequent musical history may prove the ensembles to be pioneers in extensive music tours. zA While forty-six voices ise in a chorale and soft lights gleam on beautiful blue choir robes, Mr. Foltz directed his choral group through its second year of fine performances. A mainstay in the Christmas oratotrio, the A Cappclla Choir moved on to fill the entire program of the April concert. Ending the group’s busy season was the annual Spring concert to which the Choir supplied a significant and appropriate close by singing a “Song of Victory’ Mr. Donald Foltz, Director.
