The time required for completion of this course depends upon the aptitude of the pupil. For graduation and diploma, the student must give two public recitals. CHORUS CLASSES Ali college students are eligible to try out for the Mixed Chorus which rehearses twice a week. This is excellent training in part singing, in expression, and in the interpretation of the great choral works. The Girls' Glee Club is open to all the girls of the college. This chorus rehearses twice a week. Three and four part music is used. Frequent public appearances of these choral groups are arranged. A Male Quartette and a Girls' Quartette also rehearse twice a week. The members are chosen by the quality of their voices and their ability to do sight-reading.
