The music department of this college is a complete school within itself. The
conservatory, located in its own building, is one of the best and most convenient
modern structure in Texas, devoted exclusively to music teaching.
The class of 1916-17 has been one of the most successful in the history of
the department. It consists of three sections: Juveniles, juniors, and seniors.
The juveniles have both private and class lessons. The class lessons are both
beneficial and enjoyable, by drills, songs, theory of music and class recitals.
All sections are organized into the Determination Club, which meets once
each week. The purpose of the club is to give each student a broader concep-
tion of the art of music. The programs of these meetings consist of talks and
papers pertaining to music and public performance.
The departments of violin and voice have been added this season. The
violin class has developed into an orchestra under the capable direction of Miss
Ertith Franklin, and has proven both beneficial and entertaining.
In addition to the student public recitals, the club has brought three artists
to Stephenville. The Mendelssohn Sextette, October 5, 1916; Sam Losh, bari-
tone, December 6, 1916; and Silvio Scionti (second appearance) February 3,
1917. This is the second year that the club has presented Concert Artists in
recitals, and the course has been of value to students and music lovers.
John Tarleton College is to come under the control of the State as an A. &
M. and Industrial College, and with this added strength, the Music Department
should benefit music students of the future even more than the five hundred who
have received partial and complete musical training in its studios.JOHN TARLETON COLLEGE VOL.II
