Band r|pHIS year as in previous years the St. Mary's College Band has occupied the center of the musical stage. If we stop and ask “What would a college campus be without a band? we are brought to a realization of the important part which that organization plays in school activities. I’ndcr the direction of Prof. Arthur Steiger-wald one more year of outstanding musical achievement has been added to the long list of previous successes of the band. 'The stellar musical organization which provided entertainment dc luxe during the football and basketball seasons has demonstrated again the truth of the statement that cooperation is traditional with the St. Mary's student. For the success of the band as a whole depended upon the interest taken in it by the members themselves and in the manner in which every single individual did his part as a member of the whole. The evident success which the band achieved this year is proof enough of that cooperation which the members lent their leader in attending practices and in endeavoring to make the band the best within their power.

Primarily it was organized to add solemnity to the religious celebrations and feasts, and to aid in Church services in general.

'Phis year the Choir and the Glee Club were under the faculty supervision of Mr. Carrol Poland. S. J.. and under the direction of Professor Rcnii Den Haerynck. Mr. Ed. McDonnell 29 served as president of the organization throughout the year. Probably greater diversity of talent was displayed this year in the organization than ever before.

Orchestra CWT'RTLY down the corridors of Time comes the pleasing symphony of Brother George and his cello and his little group of musicians, our inspiration, our standard. Throughout the years the orchestra has maintained a high standard and has time and again brought glory to itself and its directors through its concert ability. This year's work has been no exception. Under the able direction of Prof. Arthur Steigerwald the College symphony orchestra has presented a number of programs which were well received and climaxed its work with the annual spring concert in May, the outstanding musical event of the year. It has given expression to the loftier and more refined sentiments of the students to the pleasure and entertainment of large audiences. Brother George and his cello have gone, but the orchestra still exhibits that same high quality of musical ability, and St. Mary's takes the same pride in her most dignified musical organization. l rof.
