MUSIC Enjoys More Participants, Air-Condz'tz'oned Rooms In keeping up with the peppery tempo of Norlandls rapid growth, the Music Department has expanded, too, in both size and number. Im- provements, such as the total air-conditioning of all the practice rooms, as well as the addition of an ensemble room for the use of small groups, served to furnish more comfort for the energetic players. The combined choruses and choir had more members than ever before. This increase in membership, which included a greater per- centage of male voices than in previous years, enabled these groups to work with a particular- ly well balanced held of harmony. Under the excellent guidance of the new Head of the Music Department, Mr. McGoni- gal, the band and orchestra have performed magnificently at all Norland functions. In an- other area of the Department, music apprecia- tion students worked earnestly to achieve their two goals: to become better acquainted with the various forms of contemporary music, and to diversify their musical interests.
