MUSIC— The 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 10: The course is that prescribed by the Department of Education for Music 10. Its requirements are chorus singing, with ear-training and sight-reading; elementary theory; and music appreciation.—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 as 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 unsatis¬ factory, 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 time 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 10 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, parti¬ cularly 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, soft- ball, volleyball, and skating are the most popular. The new gymnasium provides excellent facilities for athletics and gymnastics. “Adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.” Titus 2, 10. 24

With regard to a student’s allowance for spending and personal needs, parents ought to keep in mind that too much spending money may be harmful. On the other hand, it discourages a student if his parents do not g ive him enough for such things as he needs and are reasonable. Personal funds may be deposited in the secretary’s office for safe-keeping. PAYMENTS— General fees and typewriter rent are payable at the time of registration. All administration, board, dormitory, and tuition fees are payable quarterly, in advance. Hence, payments for these latter items fall due on: (1) the opening day of the school year; (2) November 15th; (3) February 1st; (4) April 15th. If students are unable to make their quarterly payments on time, the following periods of grace will be given: For the 1st Quarter: four weeks after the opening day. For the 2nd Quarter: two weeks after the beginning of the quarter, or up to December 1st. For the 3rd Quarter: two weeks or up to February 15th. For the 4th Quarter: two weeks, or up to May 1st. If payment has not been made when the period of grace comes to an end, the student will not be permitted to attend classes until such payment is made. We kindly ask for the cooperation of parents in paying bills promptly, so that the student will not be compelled to miss any classroom periods. Some parents prefer to pay the entire costs at the beginning of the school term. When this is done, a proportionate refund is made for administration, board, dormitory, and tuition fees in the event a student finds it necessary to discontinue his studies during the course of the school term. General fees are not refundable after- four weeks, and typewriter rent not after eight weeks. Anyone arriving late in fall receives no rebate and must pay all fees in full. “Fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and in truth.’’—Josh. 24, 14.
