Notes

The music department continued its growth during this school year. The Seminary Chorus expanded its performance program and repertoire. From the Cascade of June 1914: "The vocal music department is divided up into several classes. To some it may seem that vocal music is merely a "graft" to receive a credit, but this is the opinion only of those who do not take up this "work", for thus it may rightfully be termed. It is real work. One of the most interesting classes is the Seminary Chorus, under the direction of Mr. William Cathey. The members of this class work as hard at their singing as if it were Latin or Mathematics, not only because it is required, but because they really enjoy it. One recital was given in the fall in connection with one by Miss Rustad's pupils. Another recital, given in May, showed well the training they had been receiving the past months. Some of the selections rendered were the oratorio of "Ruth," "Soldiers' Chorus" from "Faust," "The Glory of God" and "Hallelujah Chorus" from the "Messiah." Mrs. May Colson Newton has been in charge of the two singing classes composed of those who are not quite so advanced in music. Mrs. Lois Cathey Newton has conducted the grade work in this department."
