acl X i I Madeline Campa and Antoinette Camberlango believe that there is more to music than theory. They partic- gww- ..e. F ularly enjoy their classes in appreciation. One of their favorite selections is Tschaikowsky's Nut- --.-' craker Suite with which they are entertaining their classmates. MU IC Fontbonne's music course is taken in Freshman and Sophomore years. It is divided into two categories: theory and appreciation. In theory classes, the student must learn the fundamentals of music: scales, key signatures, chords, and trans- position. She achieves a minor success in music when she discovers that she can transpose My Country 'Tis of Thee from C major to G minor with a minimum of difficulty. In music appreciation classes, she listens to such favorites as Tchaikovsky's Nut- cracker Suitef' and Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. She learns the names, plots and composers of all the great operas. For those who have more than a pass- ing love of music, Fontbonne offers piano, violin, and voice lessons. The entire course is designed to increase cultural inte1'ests. Music's G major scale provides a lively discusion as Rosalie Marlo- rano explains the complexities of the half steps between B and C. Fourth term members of the Choral class prove to be in good voice as they practice their music for commencement.

Art Students Marie Gallagher, Dolores Pinto, Diane Flanagan, Lucia Crisano, Gretchen Schwende, and Marianne Meyers plan, for their ideal homes of the future. A touch of orange and black and presto! Windows of our local stores are transformed by F'ontbonne's art students. RT Artistic talent is developed during the first four terms at Fontbonne. Color, balance, design and harmony all come into play as the student exerts her creative abilities. In Freshman year she is taught lettering and poster designing. Second year art consists mainly of art appreciation courses. By a comprehensive study of the great artists of all nations, the student is able to identify a Van Gogh, a Degas, an El Greco or a Corot. She can distinguish an Ionic from a Corin- thian column because of her study of Greek architecture. She can describe the design of the Taj Mahal or Saint Mark's in Venice. She will tell you about the content of da Vinci's Mona Lisa or Millet's Angelus, Font- bonne's a1't course adds to the student's cul- tural background, and deepens her apprecia- tion of aesthetic values. Potential architects Camilla Nasif, Virginia Yates, Barbara Bianco, Cynthia Nasif, Loretta Ognibene, Roberta Salomone, and Helene de Lauzon strive to capture the striking resem- blance between Fontbonne's Gym and the ancient Greek temples. fm..-..., so fs. 0- J WA N T r E?'w C.
