FACULTY PARTICIPATION BRINGS REWARDS MUSIC AND ART torrn a large part ct every person's lite, whether he realizes it or not. People are always in search ot beauty . . . beautiiul things to see and to hear. Don Coyote is no exception. He- knows that Phoenix Union is well stalled and wonderfully organized in both these expressive departments. STUDENTS were given abundant opportunity to express themselves in both music and art. Talent wasn't always a reguisite tor membership in the classes-ealthough it did help if one wanted to win prizes against top competition in this and other schools! But objectives in both fields are realized when students take part in presenting pro- grams, preparing tor a contest, and gaining knowledge ot the goals to be realized in a study ot things artistic.
