X I. Sigvald Thompson Isabelle Thompson The quiet Mr. Thompson plays an important role in maintaining the excellence of Concordia's music department. He has further distinguished himself as director of the Fargo-Moorhead Civic Orchestra. Those students taking up violin, will learn their technique from Mrs. Thompson. They needn't search long for proof of her expertness on that instrument for she is Concertmaster with the Fargo-Moorhead Civic Orchestra. Teaching voice calls for perhaps more artistry than any other course. Miss Halverson has this quality in abundance. V Organ students have found an instructor of excellence in the person of Mr. Stahl who is spending his first year on the Concordia campus., Thelma Halvorson Roy Stahl

MUSIC Mr. Paul Christiansen directs the Concordia Choir, and critics from here to both coasts will testify to the excellence of his workmanship. Since Leif Christianson received the baton from Mr. Holvik, he has been maintaining and developing the Concordia Band in the tradition of his predecessor. His concerts are always special events for the people in this area. - Mr. Harris's outstanding characteristic is his intensity. His job includes training Chapel Choir members to sing, and his work is of proved merit. Miss Szaroleta's vim and sparkling personality make piano lessons from her a pleasure. Miss Torvik is another instructor on Concordia's accomplished staff of piano teachers. Her patience and technique have led many Cobbers from the beginner's course up through advanced work. Paul J.

Forgive us, Lord, if we Who are within Thy presence Do not hear Thy voice. Forgive us, when we Are so busy being religious That we forget to be Christian. Forgive us, when we fail To show unto others That love Thou hast shown unto us. Amen
