Music During the first five years after the school was organized Winefred Swartz taught, and was in charge of, all of the music of the school. At the time of her appointment the school was without any equipment, not having even a piano. The liter- ary societies purchased two Haines pianos, which were used by students in general, and 'later became common property of the school. In 1906 Maud Shamel was selected by President Bayliss to organize a department of music and assume charge of its activities. Miss Shamel retired in 1914 and the executive work in the department was handled by a number of capable persons between 1914 and 1921, at which time Theresa Wild came to Western as head of the music department. In the same year Edith Dallam, who had been in charge of instru- mental music since 1914, retired and was replaced by Karl Crilly, present instructor of instrumental music. Clel Silvey became associated with the de- partment in 1930. Bernice Winchester has been instructor of violin since 1931. Numerous student activities have been con- ducted since the early existence of the school, under the direction of the instructors of music. In 1905 the first chorus was organized, and presented a con- cert, it being the first event to take place in the new auditorium. Miss Shamel organized the first orchestra. Miss Wild organized and directs the MacDowell Glee Club. Mr. Silvey assumed charge of the men's vocal work and is at present director of the Men's Glee Club. Mr. Crilly now directs f 'Q V sf the orchestra. at -1- 1 egg 'T f 'm .,.1 -P .Yi 'N es' Sig f ' ' Q- si . '15 RevengerwsQEasfwssaa3sQT5NS.'Qs?sissisa3isssssSs5EiiEsN Sssisis sag ..., at .X -Ms. ..
