'61 SAN DPRINTS SALUTES Chairman of the Music Department and a member of the Phoenix College faculty since i929 is Mr. Earle L. Stone. His specialty is piano instruction, along with music appreciation and music theory. He received his bachelor and master's degrees and a special diploma in piano and theory from the University of Southern California. In addition, he has done graduate work in a variety of universities. Once upon a time, back in the days when rockets were Fourth of July toys and space travel was some- thing to read about in fairy tale books, Phoenix College was a mere infant. The time, in case you wonder, was the l92Os. The College Music Department occupied a single room in the one building on the Phoenix Union campus that housed the entire school. ln l929 young Mr. Earle L. Stone arrived to take charge of the Music Department. At that time there were about 75 music students, a Women's Glee Club, a singing trio, and several specialty groups. That spring the PC musicians made concert appearances in the Valley, just as the music groups do today. Still heading the College Music Department in l96l is Mr. Earle L. Stone - not quite so young as he was 4 Much-loved director of the A Cappella Choir is Mr. Kenneth L. Hakes, who has been a member of the College faculty since l945. Under his direction the choir has won nation-wide acclaim tor its musical accomplishments. Mr. Hakes is a graduate of Simpson Col- lege and of the University of Colorado. He has done graduate study at Peabody Conservatory and at Arizona State University. in l929. He is a little grey on top and a little rotund at the middle, but he is still full of fun and ready to tell a joke or two. Instructors in the Music Department have come and gone. Of those who have come and stayed, Mr. Ken- neth L. Hakes arrived in i945 to lead the newly formed singing group that now has nation-wide tame as the Phoenix College A Cappella Choir. Mr. Victor H. Baumann Know Dr. Baumann of the Social Science Departmentl arrived in l947 and was band director until l959, when he moved to his present position. Mr. Abert O.
