Mrs. Vera Thut John Thut Robert Karlen Music Creating an educational experience through the use and understanding of goo l music seems to be the goal of our music department. Supplementing the basic courses in harmony, music theory, conducting, and technique, students have an opportunity to put their learning into practical use in the Band, Choir, Cantorians, Male Chorus and in recitals. Faculty members also take part in the recital program, and Mr. and Mrs. Thut. Mr. Landahl, and Mr. Haugen have all made contributions in recitals during the year. Professor Sateren took a second semester leave of absence to travel through the Northeastern comer of the United States to study choral music in colleges. His primary objective in the study is to gain ideas which may be used in Augsburg's music department. Leland Sateren, Department Head Mayo Savold 26

Philip Thompson Department Head Speech and Art JL Speaking, whether professional or not, is one of the main occupa- tions of our lives. Self expression is most often given through verbalization of our ideas. Through the speech department we often receive our first exposure to public speaking. Some students go on to develop debating skills under the direction of Ur. Anderson. Others use their speech talents in the drama department, which is under Miss Cole’s direction. Phil Thompson, head of the art department, has developed an interesting and informative addition to the campus. In the basement of Old Main an Art Gallery has been set up. It features both the works of famous artists and a variety of student art work. Dr. Raymond Anderson Department Head
