University educators to help
plan new school buildings
Boards of education at Friend
and Plattsmouth have asked the
faculty of the department of
school administration to serve as
educational consultants in the de
velopment of preliminary plans for
new buildings.
Dean F. E. Henzlik of teachers
college, Dr. K. O. Broady of the
department of school administra
tion, and Dr. W. H. S. Morton,
chairman of the department of
secondary education, are helping
Friend board members develop
plans for a new twelve-grade
buildings, and Plattsmouth educa
tors to build a new elementary
school.
"We do not attempt to assume
the architect's responsibilities," Dr.
Broady pointed out. "Our aim is
to make clear to building groups
such educational features as will
make the building best serve the
Interests of the community."
The university has provided
similar consulting service to many
Nebraska school districts in the
past, and through preliminary sug
gestions have helped them to ef
fect considerable savings. Among
the towns which they have helped
are Bralnard, York, Wayne. Belle
vue, O'Neill, Scottsbluff, and
Hardy. , ,
Dr. Broady's recent book, bup
Standards for the
12-Grade School Building,' is be
ing widely used today as a build
ing manual by a great many school
districts over the state.
Players -
(Continued from page 5.)
Bity Players occurred in 1930 when
Hart Jenks returned from Broad
way to play ' Hamlet." This played
a week and was the greatest fi
nancial success of the players.
Jenks. a player while in school,
joined the famous Walter Hamp
den company in New York a short
time after his graduation. His re
turn to his alma mater marked an
..ant inmi on the list of
Nebraska alumni and University
Players who have come back.

Another "great" on the list is
Zolley Lerr.er, director of the Kan

wich. Connecticut. Fred McCon
nell is director of the Community

sidered one of the greatest little
theaters in the world. ,

Beth Langford is also well known
in radio circles for her scripts for
"Big Town" starring Edward G.
Robison. Lee Bennett, still another
player, is with Jan Garber.
Vera Mae Peterson and Portia
Boynton are now attending the
Maria Ouspenskya school in Holly
wood. Miss Peterson will play in a
summer stock company this year
at Petersborough, New Hampshire
and will also be included on the
faculty there. This company is
headed by Bertrand Mitchell who
has done outstanding work on the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
Armand Hunter, another of the
well known players, has been out
standing. He has played several
seasons in stock companies and
has done direction work for the

where he has proved a valuable
aid to the organization, one or

Only one substitute.
In aneakin? of the past, Miss
Howell said. "The players have
always showed splendid coopera
tion, reliability and loyalty, iney
have a beautiful spirit of respon
sibility. We have never called a
show off and in our whole 25
years, only ore person has had to
be substituted in a part for a sick
member. Greater than the suc
cesses of the plays themselves ha3
been the memory of the manner
in which these people have risen
to the occasion and met responsi
bility so gallantly.
"The freedom from jealousy and
selfishness has been most inspira
tional to me" Miss Howell stated.
"The property crews and stage
managers have added as much to
the productions as have the people
who actually played before the
footlights, we nave always naa

the depression and turn to more

Romance comes too.
One interestine fact told by
Miss Howell concerned the many
marriages that have taken place
hetween nlavers. Two couples in
one production were married, one
secretly. The play was "Under
Cover." The harmony and rela
tionships with which the players
work is further proven by this in
cident. According to Miss Howell the
outstanding plays presented have
been "Journeys End," "Porgy,"
"Death Takes a Holiday," and
"Elizabeth and Essex." For sev

pearean festival was held In the
spring at which time three plays
were given by students in the de
partment of speech.
