After a week or so this number diminished as most of the boys ambition had cooled down and they didn't seem to take to the hard work that track requires. However, about 12 boys have stayed with it and have done very well. Ulair was to have been the first meet of the season, April 11, but due to rainey weather the meet wasn't held until April 29. The meet was very close throughout. Up to the re lay, Blair was leading by 4 points, but the Plattsinouth relay team took first and won the meet by one point, ;1 u. ii fiO i.'. On April 19 in the rain we met Ashland over there and they beat us 72 to 49 mainly due to the in dividual performance of Hugo Hoff man who scored 37 points. On April 2C. we attended the Wos leyan relays but come home with nthing except a little more exper ience. On May 1 we took part in a quad rangular meet at Nebraska C ' i t y with Nebraska. Syracuse, and Peru Prep. Nebraska City won the meet with 70 points, Plattsinouth second with 4G points. Peru J.5 points, and Syra cuse G points. On May 4, a few of our athletics took part in the MINK meet at Peru Homer Suangler took first in the mile run setting up a new record of 4 minutes 43.7 seconds. He also took second in the half mile. On May 10 and 11 a car load of our athletes went to Lincoln where there is all kinds of competition. Homer Spangler again took first in the mile run with a time of 4 min utes 40.3 seconds in group HI. His time was the best of the 4 groups so he gets an extra gold medal. He look second in the half file again re ceiving a second place medal. We still have the County Track and Field Meet on Friday May 17. to look forward to and we hope to win this meet.

Asserting that there are more than C5.000 schools and little thester groups in this country, and that a total of 2.oe0.o0( students are actively en gaged in drnmalie work, Milton Smith, Columbia authority, declared in an address before students of the University of North Carolina that "never before in the history of the world has there been such interest in the non-professional theater, nor has play production been wider and better." Speaking at the final session of the Dramatic Association's an- prmy festival. Professor Smith I nrgeu a larve auuieuce 01 scnooi anu community dramatic directors ot consider themselves a bag part of this great art movement. "We of the little theater," he said, "shouldn't think of our art as any different from the art of the profes sional theater. W'e are really the first in the field, and we shouldn't apologize for being amateurs. We should be proud of it." Professor Smith told of a new and bigger conception of dramatics, and j showed what it would mean educa tionally. "The new conception is the i "regarding of dramatic art as a syn I thesis, a putting together of all arts to make a play. W. R.
