S. T. C. After several years of small enrollment in the music course, the returning G. I. ' s not only brought about an astounding increase in number, but a renewed interest in music activities. The for- mation of The Airliners and The Esquires, our college bands, the Marching Band, and activities sponsored by Phi Mu Alpha clearly demonstrated the presence of active, music mind- ed men. However, the Sophomore Girls ' Ensemble reminded us that not all our talent was male sponsored ' ! The increase in the number of members of Lambda Mu, the women ' s honor music sorority, indicated a body of women students who were thinking seriously along the lines of a professional career. The Advanced Chorus. Freshman Chorus, Brass and Wood- wind Enembles all performed during the year. Two groups of Madrigal Singers have given programs both on and off the campus. Our band and orchestra also presented concerts. the former organization having broadcast a Sunday perform- ance over the radio. New members of our faculty have been heard in recitals during the year and were well received by their audiences. We are proud of our Music program and our faculty. We only hope in return that they will be proud of us when we become music teachers, graduates of M. S. T. C. 27

School Elementary Building The class rooms are in charge of exceptionally well trained super- visors who have the double responsibility of giving the children an ex- cellent educational background and of giving student teachers real experience in handling a typical class room group. The curriculum, while not too progressive, yet reflects modern tendencies in best ele- mentary practice. Our graduates have an enviable record of success in the field. 29
