Grace Notes and Paint Brushes Mingling with other campus sounds throughout the year, the tra-las of the lyric sopranos in the conservatory, the oompahs of the tuba practicing out of the open window, and the in- cessant arpeggios floating from practice room pianos remind students and faculty alike of the fine arts division. When the band practiced 'Terpetual Motionf' and the symphony laughed when Conductor Louis E. Zerbe announced The Battered Bride, the campus knew that musi- cal activity was in full swing. Those who say seeing is believingv realized the extent of fine arts when they saw art exhibits from campus art classes, exchange displays from other schools, and the award which Mrs. Helen Tilden, art head, received from the national artists' association for her report on Nebraska Art Week. Besides playing at all major athletic contests, the band went west on tour and managed to run into ten inches of snow at Scottsbluff and a dust storm at Ogallala. The choir Christmas program was combined with the YW White Gift service, and while on tour the group fulfilled an invitational appearance at the Joslyn Memorial in Omaha. Known nationally as the Q'Dime Symphonyf, the orchestra gave its annual fall and spring concerts and inaugurated a special children's matinee for 2800 school children from Kansas and Nebraska. Presented at a chapel service this year, a new college song was written by a leading alurnnus of the college, Dr. Clyde Aitchison, '93. 21
