INQTRLIMENTALISTS AND EUPHONIOLI9 SOUND Under the direction of Mr. Bolewine, the band and orchestra have performed many times at school functions. The band met every day to rehearse for programs and for sports events. Both the orchestra and band played traditional and contemporary mu- sic by many and varied composers. Due to the increased population ot the school, the band and orchestra have become enlarged and can be heard in full force whenever they play. ORCHESTRA: Bottom Row: Kofski, L. Halvorson, Keefe, K.

LANGUAGES ARE IMPORTANT IN A QHRINKING WORLD For the first time language laboratory facilities vvere available to those studying the modern languages: French, Spanish, and German. This equipment, con- sisting of headphones with attached microphones, greatly aided both the students and the teacher. A tape recording of phrases spoken in the foreign tongue vvas played. Students repeated these phrases into their individual microphones free from outside distractions. The teacher, by means of a control panel, was able to listen to each student individually or to the class as a vvhole. lt was also possible for the teacher to speak to individuals through the headphones with- out interrupting the rest of the class. Enclosed indi- vidual booths vvere also available for special uses. The only language offered at Washburn that could not make practical use of these facilities was Latin. Although nowadays one does not become fluent in the speaking of Latin, it is very helpful in other ways. Because Latin students study the intricacies of Latin grammar, they are vvell prepared to study modern languages and to better understand their ovvn. Because vve live in an ever-shrinking vvorld and at a time vvhen world communications are a prime con- cern of everyone, languages are playing an increas- ingly important role. Through hard work students make good use of the lan- guage lab facilities. Clnq quatre trois deux un Sauter'

CHORALIER9' MELODIOU9 MUSIC AFFORD9 PLEASURE Mr. Lydell demands and receives the desired ettect as the Chora- liers rehearse. l Dave Beenken bursts forth with a solo at the fall concert. The large group ot singing Washburnites, known as the Choraliers, have had a very active year in many respects. Under the direction ot Mr. Lydell, the sing- ing group displayed its talents tor the students ot Washburn and tor various audiences in the Minnea- polis area. They presented a tall concert at Washburn which included songs from foreign lands. The singing ot these songs in German, Latin, and Hebrew delighted the audience and proved to be a lingual challenge as well as pleasure tor the Choraliers. The Choraliers participated in the annual Washburn Christmas concert presented by the efforts ot the music department. The Madrigals have been an ac- tive part ot the Choraliers and have provided lis- teners with a specialized torm ot song. Many mem- bers have taken advantage ot an extra-curricular class in music theory which was taught by Mr. Ly- dell. The year was rounded out by participation in the spring concert, one of the major concerts ot the year. lt was the culmination of a year's work which pre- sented various selections and featured individual voices in solos.
