Ehnrus and Ilrchestra The music department has always held a place of honor at Junior Col- lege and this year was no exception. The orchestra was active during the first semester, playing on several oc- casions including the N.E.A. Week convocation, the jane Eyre produc- tion, and the Christmas program. The orchestra was under the direc- tion of Mr. Josef Rosenstein, a mem- ber of the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra. Because of a lack of bal- ance in instruments the .course in orchestra was dropped the second semester. ' The Chorus has had a very suc- cessful season under the direction of Mr. V. Iden Reese. There were forty members in the organization. The first semester group performed at numerous assemblies, the outstanding event being the Christmas candle service. The first part of the second semester was given over to the re- hearsal for the Easter cantata, Olivet to Calvaryl' On the evening of Palm Sunday the chorus joined the choirs of the First Baptist Church for a performance. The cantata was given for the Easter service for the students and faculty on Thursday of Holy Week. The last performances of the chorus will be for commencement and baccalaureate services.
