Notes

Two new faculty members for voice and the choruses joined the faculty in the 1940-1941 school year. The most significant was Lawrence Schoenhals who began directing the A Cappella Choir and the College Chorus. This year begins an era of expansion and excellence to the choral program under Professor Schoenhals. Professor Schoenhals also served at this time as Acting Director of the School of Music. Also joining the faculty was John Lundberg teaching voice and directing the Girls' Glee Club.

Apart from their normal campus concert season, the A Cappella Choir took two extended tours, one of them to Southern Washington and Oregon.

The College Chorus presented the "Messiah" on December 17 with soloists Patricia Schage, soprano; Elaine Anderson, mezzo-soprano; Mrs. H. Erickson, contralto; Professor John Lundberg, tenor; Arthur Zylstra, bass; with Professor Barnard, piano. Their Winter Quarter concert featured Mendelssohn's "Hymn of Praise" with soloists Patricia Schage and Janette Jamieson, sopranos. Mrs. Mildred Schoenhals served as accompanist.
