MUSIC As defined in the dictionary, music is “sounds having rhythm and melody,” or “the art of pleasing; expressive or intelligible combination of tones.” Music may not always be beautiful because the ideas that the composer wishes to express through music are not always beautiful; but all music seeks to express through sound thoughts and feeling of the composer. Mrs. Elsie Kwakkcrnaat, choir director, and Mr. Henry Arent, band director, try to make music “come alive” for their students so that they in turn can sing or play it for the pleasure of others. Since we don’t have study hall periods at Vocational, the difficulty of finding time during the day to practice involves sacrifice and faithfulness on the part of these students and their directors. In spite of obstacles, these organizations have managed to contribute much to our school life. Kuakkernaat, Mrs. Elsie: Choir; Music. and voices.
