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.

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.

The Kampus Kats nri M K has been and always will be the expression of change. Times change and with them customs. To meet the demands of these changed times new institutions must be developed. Such is true of music. The musical trend of modernism found its expression in a type musical organization which departed radically from any which had existed previously. The popular type of music finds its expression peculiarly adapted to the modern instrumentation known as the popular dance orchestra. St. Mary’s, in the Kampus Kats. posseses an organization which takes its place along with the best in the field of collegiate entertainers. Their value can best be calculated when their work in furnishing music for the College dances and other entertainments is considered. Decidedly a student organization. under faculty supervision, the Kampus Kats are well deserving of the praise which has come their way this year. Page S2 McGurren. Mearu. Berg. Roberts. Mayer.
