With instruments blaring from the school of music, students emoting from the temple and daubs of paint being liberally splotched about Morrill Hall, the All-State Fine Arts course for high school students enters its ninth annual session. The course is held on campus during the month of June. During that time students are housed by the University and attend classes conducted by University instruc tors. The set-up for 256 students of music, speech and art is under the direction of David B. Foltz, asso ciate professor music. Foltz sue ceeds Dr. Arthur E. Westbrook who founded and directed All State in its early stages. For its first five years only mu sic students were admitted. Speech was added in 1946 and this year marks the advent of 16 art stu dents. THE MUSIC students work in three fields of endeavor. Chorus, directed by Foltz is made up of close to 150 members. The orches tra is conducted by Immanual Wishnow, director of the Univer sity orchestra. The band is led by Walter Olsen, director of music in the Fremont city schools. Olsen has seen All- State through many of it's early struggles. The author of a never-to-materialize novel, "Elmer Sound Your 'A' " is the supervisor of this year's ses sion. His moustache, "leather cadenzas" and prediction that "this year's band will be the best yet" are familiar to All-State alums who dot the University campus. Supervisor Olsen will be as sisted this year by Morris Hays. His load will also be lightened by nine University student counsel "Blast" Says ors.. They are: Mary Wherry, Joanne Smith, Betty Aasen, Doro thy Snyder, Jean Leisy, Dean Kil lian, Harold Bnurer, Bruce Camp bell and Ed Wells. THOUGH IT began with music, All-State has spread its wings. The speech students, under the di rection of Leroy T. Lasse, chair man of the speech department, will participate in speech, choir and classes as well as exeprimcn tal one-act productions. The pioneer art students will do a series of All-State and campus scenes which will be on exhibit in the Union during the final week of the course. They are currently working on decorations and fav ors for the final banquet. The entire program is "well-in gear," according to Olsen. The students have already attended dances, parties and concerts. Last Sunday they gave a public re hearsal in the Union ballroom. ON JUNE 19, the music section will present a small ensemble concert in the Union. The brass, string, woodwind and vocal en semble which will participate in the concert are under the direc tion of J. Dayton Smith and Whil- liam Splichal. All students attend all concerts, performances and exhibits, there by broadening not only each in dividual's scope of his own field but of the fine arts in general. Tomorrow the 256 All-Staters will pack up their troubles and head for Antelope Park for an afternoon picnic. At the picnic the presentation of the "Miner '49er" and "Clementine" will take place a devise which smacks of the Olsen touch. The boy and girl to be honored will be chosen by All- State administrators. From this it is obvious that this year's theme is the '49er. At the end of the session, the music, speech and art students Arts Olsen will return to their respective schools. When they do they will carry with them new techniques and appreciations to be trans mitted to their fellow students. These top-notch students in the fine arts will also carry memories of cherished acquaintances with fellow Nebraskans and of their University.
