DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC Robert W. Cavanaugh, A.B., B.Mus., Mus.M. Instructor in Music Mrs. W. Curtis Snow, A.B. Instructor in Music Mrs. H. Karsten Instructor tn Piano Now we can make all the noise we want,” sighs Mrs. Snow happily, surveying the new music building. This building, formerly the education building, is now equipped with practice pianos, rugs on the studio floors, anti a superb new radio-victrola, gift of the men's and girls’ glee clubs. The new building and the biggest enrollment in history, both in applied music and in theory, made this a banner year for the music department. Mrs. Snow, Prof. Cavanaugh, and Mrs. Karsten all hail crowded schedules. The department boasts six majors: Marge ITiesema and Ruth Probst in organ, Frieda Grote and Angeline Jansen in piano, and Helen Thompson and Bette Mulder in voice. On May 28, two senior music students, Marjorie Brouwer, soprano, and Adelaide Wandscheer, organist, gave a joint recital. Marge ITiesema played her junior organ recital on the afternoon of Baccalaureate Sunday. Hope music students, performing for churches, clubs, and other organizations, contribute much to the musical life of the community.
