68 m THE BAND fcBSfet THE ORCHESTRA . . . Somewhat handicapped by a low membership and limited periods of rehearsal, our Hand and Or- chestra worked hard, and came through with fine showings at our annual Fall and Spring Concerts... and with spirited marches and songs al our football ami basketball panics. Key figure in our Musie De- partment, Mr. iYlott, with bis ever-present mixture ,,| personality and ability, drew from us fledgling musicians the sum total of our potentialities . . . moulded our talents into a series of presentable pro- grams . . . Tough going for a while, but in tin- end we could be sure that many people bad benefited . both in our audiences and among ourselves . . .

67 Music A n J y Big, beautiful Gorman House . 7. with its solid, white-pillared porch . . . with its encircling groups of delicate hemlocks, and tremendous old silver maples . . . Gorman, whose halls and spacious rooms echoed with the sounds of Music, that in- spiring element of our life at Concordia, which helped to make this year so beautiful . . . where with chords and shadings we blended our voices and instrumental sounds into bits of praise and ex- pression . . . beautiful things . . . fully expressing! the vitality and sincerity of those younger years ... things that had their source in the remotest areasfc of our youthful hearts ... In the Fall - the trees outside joined with us, as the fingers of the evening wind moved through their string-like branches . . . moulded the voices of their limbs into deep, rich, and mysterious tones . . . into whispering, melan- harmouies.
