HELEN JEAN Voice and Piano Fine Arts The new music education curriculum offers music majors greater opportunities for developing their tal- ents. Regular music courses become more meaning- ful for students who participate in public perform- ances as a part of their work. Thus, in the Erie Phil- harmonic Christmas presentation of Handel's Mes- siah, M. Lipchick and A. Stanford sang in the chorus, while the entire department executed the musical end of the show, Plain and Fancy. This year the graphics exhibit was a first for the Art Department. The more than fifty entries from three states consisted of wood blocks, silk screens, engravings, lithographs as Well as other media. Art instructor, Mr. John Lochtefeld's new mural in McAuley Hall completes the lobby decor. The focal point of the mural, the Crucifixion, enhances the theme which depicts those studies constituting a Catholic liberal education, among them history, phi- losophy, the fine arts, drama and science. On January 26, Sister M. Joachim conducted a workshop on art education for private and parochial pre-school and kindergarten teachers. She demon- strated teaching materials and spoke on the creative aspect in art. Participation in the Festival of Fine and Lively Arts, May 1-6, was the concluding activity for art students. SISTER M.
