MUSIC Ihe aims of the music course are: To deepen the student ' s love of good music; to enable him better to understand what he hears or performs; to develop his performing technique. Music I: The course is that prescribed by the Department of Education for Music I. Its require¬ ments are chorus singing, with ear-training and sight-singing; elementary theory; and music apprecia¬ tion.—Four credits. ( Schwermann.) Discipline All students are required to live a Christian life and to conform to the rules and regulations of the college. For that reason admission is granted to such boys and girls only who can furnish written testimonials of their Christian character, and only such will be retained on the school s roster who submit to Christian discipline and conduct themselves at all times, whether on or off the campus, as becomes Christian people. If in the opinion of the faculty a student’s attitude and behavior is such as to make his presence at the institution undesirable (profanity, theft or offences against morality), or if his class standing is unsatisfactory , he may, for the obvious good of the school, be dismissed even though no specific offence meriting suspension or expulsion be charged against him. Students leaving for vacations are required to attend all classes until the official close and must return in lime for the official opening of the school. Only under extraordinary circumstances will exceptions be made to this rule. The opening and closing dates are always published in the catalog. Extra-Curricular Activities An Active Literary Committee An active Literary Committee plans programs, lectures, movies, and social activities for Friday evenings throughout the school year. Besides, all students have the privilege to join one of our local Walther Leagues where they may take part in young people ' s work. Music Besides the Music I course there are various extra-curricular activities in which students may take part. The major musical group is the Concordia Choristers. Students who wish to take lessons on the piano or some other instrument, particularly those who seek to obtain the A.T.C.M. of the Toronto Conservatory of Music, are assisted in finding qualified and competent teachers in the city. Several pianos are available for practice at the college. Dramatics Since dramatics develops the ability to appear before an audience and gives training in public speaking, it receives due attention at Concordia. Shorter plays are given at regular intervals. The major effort is usually an operetta or a longer play, which is given not only in Edmonton but also at outlying points. Athletic Activities Every student is encouraged to take part in some sport or exercise. The large campus offers ample recreational opportunities. Among these hockey, baseball, softball, volleyball, and skating are the most popular. A gymnasium room in the basement of the dormitory offers space for handball, volleyball, ping-pong, and other games. Adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things. Titus 2, 10. 24
