Conservatory NE of the strongest departments of Columbia Junior College is the Con- servatory, the enrollment for this year having been about one hundred twenty-five, which is a large increase over the number enrolled last year. The influence of this department is of immense value to the community, for who does not enjoy studying and listening to music? Miss Norma Olsen has been director of the Conservatory, and also head of the piano department the last year. She is a very efhcient teacher, and under her direction, the Conservatory has attained a higher degree of excellence than ever before. She introduced some new novelties in the form of costume and childrenis fecitals that added interest to the programs presented by this department. Miss Olsen has been ably assisted in the piano department by Miss Esther Bienfang and Miss Ruth Shangle. These teachers are very efficient and have accomplished much toward making their department one of the best in the Conservatory. Mrs. Howells is in charge of the violin department and is a very able Violinist as well as a splendid teacher. She has many enthusiastic pupils who enjoy their work very much. She is director of the Columbia College Orchestra, which with its programs, done much to make music a pleasure to many people. The voice department has been under the competent charge of Miss Bernadine Adair, and she has many devoted students. She is a gifted singer and a very eflicient teacher as is shown by the progress of her pupils. One of her pupils graduates from her department this year. Miss Adair has spent much time and has worked hard with the Glee Club Chorus, and the good re- sults shown in the numbers given by the Chorusat the Glee Club concert speak for themselves. This year the students recitals have been unusually interesting for several innovations were made, as, for instance, the costume recital, which was enjoyed by everyone; and the Childrenis recital which was given by the younger mem- bers of the Conservatory, and was appreciated by old and young. The interest of the community in these recitals is shown by the splendid attendance every month, and everyone derives much enj oyment from their varied programs. These recitals are also of great value to the students of music who have an op- portunity to appear in public and are thus stimulated to do their best work. The careful and painstaking instructions of the teachers, shown by the progress of the pupils who take part in these programs, has been very apparent this year. Twen ty-six
