MALE CHORUS The members of the Bethel Male Chorus were sad indeed last fall when it was announced that Professor George Hultgren had left Bethel to accept a position on the faculty of the University of Southern California. Their sadness soon disappeared, however, when Mr. Ncls Stjcrnstrom was engaged as director of the chorus. The persistency and optimism with which Sijemsttom attacked the year's work gained the immediate respect of the entire chorus. The spring concert tour included a two weeks' trip through Northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois. Carl Lundquist handled the details of the trip as president of the chorus. Other officers were Francis McOlash, vice president; Elving Anderson, secretary; Robert Perrin, treasurer; and Robert Paulson, librarian. ARIAN CHORUS The Arian Chorus was also quick to respond to the new teaching methods of Director Stjcrnstrom and as a result enjoyed a very successful season. The Arian Chorus co-operated with the Male Chorus in giving three Twin Cities concerts in addition to presenting several other fine programs. President of the chorus was Nancy Zimmerman; secretary was Lillian Carlson; Marie Forslir.e acted as treasurer; while Elaine Anderstrom was librarian. MALE CHORUS Second Rote; II. Nydcgger. W.
