A 10 Gun Salute . . .
To the guiding spirit who conceived and set in motion
the project which grew into today's Fine Arts course for
high school students.
Or perhaps we should make it a nine-gun salute, for it
was nine years ago that Dr. A. E. Westbrook headed the
first All-State course, then designed primarily for music
students. Since then the program has grown to include
all fields of the arts.
The entire course is a great deal more than a three
week lark for a few well chosen teenagers. It's a part of
the hundred and one ingredients which make up the en
lightned citizenry we have done so much yelling about.
The course offers an opportunity for talented high
schoolers to receive some advanced training. More than
that it offers early training in the appreciation of what
little culture America has developed and the vast amount
of culture she has inherited.
These boys and girls learn to understand and respect
the arts. And through the arts gain an understanding of
all men everywhere who comprehend the universal Janguage
of music, painting and sculpture. They grasp, before they
enter college or the cruel, cruel world, an appreciation of
the beautiful and its necessity to humanity.
An inscription over the door of the school of music says
that "Music has the power to lift the soul above all earthly
storms." This can be applied to all the arts a chance for
more meaningful living.
Perhaps we are waxing a bit poetic. Very well, then,
it's a technical opportunity a chance to increase skill.
All-State is a social opportunity a chance to meet fellow
Nebraskans.
The sessions sound like long hours of grueling drudgery
on hot afternoons but the set-up only looks that way.
For men like David Foltz make singing fun and men like
Walt Olsen make the entire program a never-to-be-forgotten
experience. M ,
All-State has found the secret. The secret of learning
and loving it. Nobody asks, "What do we have to take this
for?" All-State students get a head start on a broad edu
cational background because it's fun. Most of them will
not make speech, music or art their life's work. Many of
today's All-Staters will be tomorrow's doctors, lawyers,
engineers and housewives. But they are increasing their
scope of life because it's natural, and it's pleasant.
Only the Walt Olsens, and the others who have guided
the ear-shattering struggles of budding musicians of former
All-States, see the increased contributions they will one day
make to society because of the new vistas brought into
range by so simple a thing as All-State.
Hats off, then, to those men and to the boys and girls
the doctors, lawyers, engineers and housewives of tomor
rowwho have moved a little closer to the goal of a full
and harmonious life for all people through All-State.
A ten-gun salute.

Nebraska summer school is con
nected with many dreary things
such as seven o'clocks, and the
beautiful Nebraska rain. Even
the politicians have pulled out for
greener pastures and the ones
that are left can't seem to get
along without the crowd, or else
they are neck deep in the books
they didn't crack during the
school year (Too many knives to
be cleaned).
There are a few bright and
cheery notes . . . beer is still beer,
Ajax is back from Chicago, to
supervise the waiters in the prac
tically deserted crib, and the
Kappa Sigs (plus smiling Jake
Dahlgren) are keeping the campus
coeds in laffs, and cigarette money.
V
ONE THING, and one' thing
only, however, saves the session
from being dull. We have clinics,
lots and lots and lots of clincis.
For instance, Thursday, Ne
braska superintendents met to dis
cuss vocational guidance and stu
dent counseling (no connection to
the spring student council fiasco).
These gentlemen look forward to
this meeting, as any old Legion
naire would look forward to the
big convention. There is no funny
stuff, however. These men are
serious, and they mean business,
and their business is vocational
guidance.
THEY RETURN to their home
towns with plenty of new ideas on
''bringing teachers to the aware
ness of the individual skills and
problems of each student." Despite
rumors that it is necessary to
bring teachers to life, first (Some
people argue that first things do
come first) we feel that an earn
est attempt is being made to study
student problems. We salute you.
Going back to a week or two
ago, we see that the Nebraska
newspapermen held some clinics
(magic word). Under the steady
direction of the Nebraska School
of Journalism these newspaper
men studied pictorial journalism,
and its advanced methods. This is
of special interest to the Daily
Nebraskan, for anything that the
Nebraska School of Journalism
does that is remotely connected
with the field of journalism is of
interest to us. One of our regrets
is that Assistant Professor Bill
Hice, is not giving some enter
taining courses this summer.
A FOUR-DAY session on ju
venile delinquency started on Mon
day, June 20. Faculty representa
tives and local police officials dis
cussed juvenile delinquency at
great length. On Monday night
they are showing movies, FREE,
to. the general public. One of them
holds the promise of being espec
ially stimulating. Its title: '"Fam
ily's First." Well.
These experts are attacking an
issue that is an important one.
They are also attempting to
work out solutions to the prob
lems that arise as a result of
juvenile delinquency, and they
are also attempting to outline
methods of preventing children
from . becoming crooks. After
scanning the list of scheduled

speakers, it is obvious that every
interested group is represented
except the juvenile delinquents.
THERE ARE more clinics. Lots
and lots, as we said before. The
speech department, not to be
outdone by the School of Jour
nalism, is sponsoring a speech
clinic for children who need in
dividual and group assistance in
in their speech. Parents are also
meeting for therapy, and for
guidance. It is a relief to know
that parents are in on this big
deal. They would be quicker with
the fire extinguisher if the Tem
ple, where the Speech Depart
ment is located, burned down
during the clinic.

Arts is Going Full Blast," ac

of music in the Fremont city
schools. He is leading the band
. . . which is only one part of
this broad program for high'
school students. Speech and art
as well as music courses have
attracted students from all over
the state.
THERE ARE 14 flutes in the
band. The whole program is of
large proportion, too. Social func
tions keep the session from being
all work and no play, but the
Kappa Sigs serenade the high
school girls, just in case . . . just
in case daily activities get a wee
bit dull. No casualties have been
reported, but one girl almost fell
out of her window when the
boys had departed. She's been

ever since, and mumbles

you posted on clinics, because
they are so much fun. Summer
school isn't really so bad, when
you think about it. Some people
take it too seriously. We noticed,
for instance, that Wyoming's lit
tle gift, George Abbo, is locat
ing a little peaked. Probably in
activity is getting George down.
No elections, no friendly faces in
the business office at the Daily
Nebraskan. no American Legion
meetings. Poor George.
