MUSIC EDUCATION Dr. Irving Cheyette Head of Department ' • ' ?? ' The Music Education Department has completed an unusually successful year owing to the reorganiza- tion of all of its major organizations. The Marching Band participated in all football and patriotic events: the College Choir and String Orchestra presented the Handel Messiah at Christ- mas, the College Symphony Orchestra presented fine concert programs, as did the Girls ' Chorus and Men ' s Glee Club. In addition, these organizations were fea- tured in twelve weekly broadcasts over WDAD. Music assemblies, student recitals, trips to Pitts- burgh to hear major symphony orchestras, operas and recitalists provided students with a rich fare of musical experiences.
