» Chorale During 1973-74 the STCC Chorale has en- joyed promising growth and a busy perform- ing schedule. With twenty four singers re- hearsing regularly during the fall semester, the group grew to thirty five at the start of the spring term. The first formal concert on the campus was given on December 10, 1973 in the fifth floor auditorium of bldg. 20. Called Musical Minia- tures of the Yule Season, the program featured traditional selections of the season and was enhanced by the appearance of the Holyoke Civic Choral Society. The Channel 40 televi- sion program, Conversations With, with host Frank Mclrnerney, featured the Chorale on its annual Christmas show. During the second semester plans will in- clude another formal concert on campus, May 1, 1974. This program will feature a work for chorus and string ensemble supported by the Cultural Enrichment Committee of the college. Another section of the concert will include music of significant American composers . Plans have been formed to once again to participate in the New England Junior College Choral Festival, this year to be held at Rhode Island Junior College, in Warwick. Invitations have also been received from the College of the Lady of the Elms and Bay path Junior College for joint programs. The Chorale will present choral selections at the 1974 commencement exercises. 23

The Art Department, under Prof. Edith Mantyla ' s direction, provided another opportunity for those talented students to exhibit their work. Paintings by Art students are on loan in various buildings on campus, demonstrating the ability of our students to master the difficult tech- niques of both drawing and painting. The photography department provides the campus photographers who have their work exhibited in the Gallery, in PUCK, in the RAM and in this book. Taught the elements of good composition in picture taking by Jack Holowitz, with the assistance of Mike Gareffi, they are also capable of developing and printing their own work. 22
