The reputation for excellence that the VV aldorf Choir has established makes it the lnost desirable goal of every chorister. Professor Hagen's patient instruc- tion and work, creating the iine intonation and artistic blending of voices, and hours of untiring practice-indiviclually, in parts and in chorus-result in the finesse of performance that has entranced many souls. A repertoire of prayer and praise brought the Gospel in song to audiences in North and South Dakota, and Minnesota on the annual two-week concert tour which climaxed a successful season of singing for church services and other per- formances, the most memorable being the performance at Central Lutheran Church as guests of the National Evangelistic Conference. 58

uziic MUSIC, the universal language, is perhaps one of the greatest forces leading to unity among individuals and nations in our world today. It not only uplifts hearts and brings rest to tired souls but also unites men of various races and creeds. At the present time the demand for music is greater than ever before. We are work- ing for a new world harmony and a symphony of peoples. Music can make us more aware of our common humanity and can help to unite us in one great brotherhood.

Canine! 6A0ir WITH A WEALTH of skilled and talented material available, a new choir was or- ganized in the fall of ,46. Membership in the WValdorf Choir is the ultimate goal of all choristers who study vocal technique in the Chapel Choir. Although Mr. Hagen organized and instructed the group, Sterling Thomp- son took over the baton the Second semester. After being introduced at Sunday Church Service, the Chapel Choir enriched the Christmas pageant by joining voices with the Waldorf Choir and sang at other church services. Their season was drawn to a close by the spring concert. This group holds great promise for coming years and its members can look back upon this year as one filled with enjoyment and achievement of invaluable training.
