Has Concert
Lamar Tech's 2 5-voice
Men's Chorus recently
performed two symphonic-
choral works with the
Beaumont Symphony or-
chestra at the City audit-
orium .
Joseph Truncale of the
Tech music department is
director of the groupwhich
is made up of students and
faculty members from
various departments of the
college and four other
singers of the area who ex-
pressed a desire to work
with the chorus.
The choral works were
performed with the sym-
phony orchestra under
direction of Jay Dietzer.
The program was divided
into two parts. First was
"The Testament of Free-
dom" by Randall Thomp-
son, a setting of four pas-
sages for men’s voices
from the writings of
Thomas Jefferson.
Featured in the second
part of the program was

position, "Rhapsody," by J.
Brahms,with soloist Mrs.
Everette Browning, sop-

in German.
Some people gripe about
things they want to do and
can't, instead of doing
things they could do but
don't.
