Wesleyan Students Make Music Wesleyan musicians express their talent through three mediums, the choir, the band, and the orchestra. These three organizations provide entertainment for the listener, as well as experience for the performer. Membership in the college choir is open to all students of West Virginia Wesleyan College who love to sing. Its purpose is to instill spirit- ual and cultural growth through the increasing knowledge and appreciation of sacred music. The choir also attempts to interpret to others, by means of public performance, the artistic and spiritual message of music. The outstanding activity of the choir is the annual tour. About thirty students sang in churches and high schools throughout the south- ern part of West Virginia during the week of touring. The regular performances in chapel and the spring concert complete the choir ' s activities for the year. Under the direction of Professor Charles W. Forlines, the choir meets three hours a week. Participation in the choir may or may not be for credit. Outstanding in orange and black uniforms, the West Virginia Wesleyan College band is a colorful and musical spectacle on the football field. This year the band performed at every home football game, and also accompanied the team to the Waynesburg game in November. Besides its performance at football games, this year the marching band led the Homecom- ing parade, while the concert band presented assembly concerts. These concerts gave the musi- cians a chance to play semi-classical and novelty music. Having been discontinued during World War II. the band was reorganized in 1946 by C. Buell Agey. Professor Agey rehearses the band every Monday evening in the Music Hall. One hour credit is given for participation in the band. First row, lefc (o right — William Townsend.
