Notes

This year the courses offered in "music, expression, and art" have been classified and organized under the head of the School of Fine Arts.
     Department of Music - headed by F. Carlton Booth
     Department of Expression - headed by Mrs. Donna Elder Jackson
     Department of Art - headed by Miss Frances Townsend

From the Cascade: "The School of Fine Arts has been placed in charge of the Thursday morning chapel period each week. Programs have been arranged on which pupils from the various departments have been presented on different mornings. These periods, together with the weekly program of an hour over station KXA and the usual student recitals, have furnished an excellent opportunity for the pupils in the various departments to develop skill in performance."

From the Cascade: "The vocal department, under the direction of Professor Booth, is doing a type of work the value of which can be estimated best in terms of the demands made for it. With the majority of schools and colleges placing the major emphasis upon a lighter type of secular music, it is the general feeling of those concerned with this branch of the school's activity that Seattle Pacific College should stress sacred music- and more particularly the Gospel in song. This is being done continuously by both male quartets, the men's glee club of eleven members, and the ladies' quartet. These groups are busy answering calls for special singing in and about Seattle, but they are able to fill approximately only fifty per cent of the requests that come. The college chorus of thirty members selected from the student body has had a very successful season. The Christmas cantata, and the Easter music rendered at convention time, were well appreciated. Mrs. Moyer and Mrs. Upton, who have given graciously of their time in accompanying the chorus and glee clubs, deserve honorable mention. Much of the success is due to their fine performance at the key board."

Of note is the addition of Mabel Jones Moyer as instructor of piano. This is the first year of her long tenure at S.P.C.
