Accomplished Music Students Learn, Practice, Entertain Concordia ' s Music Department is divided i nto two parts— choral and instrumental. The girls ' chorus and the male ensemble, known as the Blazers, comprise the choral division. The Band is the instrumental unit. Members of the two sections encountered new exper- iences---the choir and Blazers pressed a re- cord—and our Band played host to the an- nual Tri-City Music Festival.

Art Classes Help Students Grow Culturally The art department, headed by Mr. John Sturmfels, consisted of two main courses, art and art appreciation. In the art courses, students learn to use structure, composition, color, and different media to express their individual feel- ings and ideas effectively. To demonstrate and further develop their natural talents, pupils sketch in charcoal and pastels, do abstract paint- ings in oil, and make three-dimensional pieces such as the coil vase and applicator-stick con- struction shown on this page. The art apprecia- tion course offers the student a chance to de- velop culturally through studying and compar- ing the works of the old masters ' and contem- porary painters. The effect of the age upon a painting style is investigated and great paint- ings are studied to find what it is that made them endure despite these frequently-changing styles. Art appreciation helps pupils come near- er the answer to the question, What is Art? K. Albers spins a top-ah, I mean pot. Who ' s it going to be, Mr. Sturmfels.-me? K. Bultemeier constructs a masterpiece, but what is J. Tomey doing? 16
