Music Department: The excellence of Centenary ' s Music Department is attested by its recent admission into the American Association of Schools of Music, whose high standards permit only the more advanced schools to enter. The school ' s choral group (pictured at top of page) appears in several concerts each year. The faculty includes Albert Martini, violin; Ralph Squires, piano; Ernest Rolston, voice; Miss Ray Car- penter, piano, Miss Henrietta Carnahan, piano, and O. Lincoln Igou, director of the band and teacher of public school music. Faculty members and advanced students are in constant demand as guest artists for club meetings and other organizations throughout the Shreveport area. Professor Rolston, Head of the School of Music, selects a number from the well stocked music library which is the equal of any in the South.
