Permanent Collection
Adorns Art Gallery
In Little Theater
The McMurry Chanters will
present its annual spring concert
of sacred music Friday evening
at 7 30 in Radford Auditorium in-
stead of the original date of
March 1.
The 40-voice mixed choir rec-
ognised as one of the finest choirs
in the Southwest has one aim: to
sing praises to the Lord as beau-
tifully as He would have these
praises sung "For our Lord
only our best!" is the motto of
the Chanters.
Prof. Paul Engclstad formerly
director of the Texas Lutheran
College Choir and presently direc-
tor of the McMurry Chanters
stresses detail and his singing
collegians strive to meet his high
standard of perfection. Says
Prof. Engelstad of the Chanters
"Our aim is not to sing a new
song unto the Lord but a better
song."
The Chanters spend time in
prayer and meditation before
each concert which is dedicated
to God.
The three part program in
cludes some of the greatest choral
anthems ever written from the
16th century to the present. Part
Valuable water colors litho-
graphs and etchings from Mc-
Murry's permanent art collection
now adorn the new art gallery in
the foyer of McMurry's Little
Theater located in the Old Main
Building.
Among the exhibition which
will hang indefinitely are works
by such internationally known
artists as Cyril and Picasso.
The current exhibition is the in-
itial one to hang in the new gal-
lery designed primarily to enter-
tain the crowds during perform-
ances in the Little Theater.
The idea of the gallery was
conceived by Jim Baines head of
the drama department who felt
that the Little Theater which has
come into its own this year as a
public auditorium needed a dec-
orative touch. The burlap-covered
panels which provide a rustic
backing for the pictures were con-
structed by Baines' design class
early in February.
Sherwood E. Sutcr head of the
art department said that the de
partment plans to display con'
tiinidl exhibits from the perma-
nent collection as well as work
by students and faculty. Suter
emphasized however that the
gallery on the third floor will still

manuel" by Bortniansky; "Die

Spirit Also Hclpcth Us" Bach.
Part II includes "O Snvinr
Throw the Heavens Wide."
Brahms; "Nunc Dinitlis Grelcli-
aninoff; and "Blessing Glory and
Wisdom" by G. G. Wagner.
In Part III the selections arc
a "Hymn to King Stephen" Kod-
aly; "How Fair the Church of
Christ" Christiansen; "Soon Ah
Will Be Done" arr Dawson;
"Aftensolen Smilcr" arr. Engel-
stad; and "Glory Be to God" by
Jean Beiger.
