The other evening the large aud- itorium at Whittier junior high was filled to overflowing with parents, relatives and friends of students , there to witness an oper- etta, "The Outlaw x·ng," a color- ful production put on by the stu- dents under the direction of Mrs.
IKathryn White. If any went there with doubt as to the efficiency of training in this particular school and in schools in general the came away with doubt removed and with criticisms stilled. Such a finished production would pass on any stage, indicating that great care, patience and much time had been involved in its preparation and that unusual ability had been employed in its cast selections, the 1rehearsals and the refining of the production.
The processes of education have gone a long way in Nebraska in a very few decades. Some were in that audience who had been schooled in sod school houses, in log schools, or at best in the littl one room frame buildings that came later. It was a long way I rom the theater in the Whittier uilding back to their school envir- onments, and yet the distance is measured by less than half a life- time for some. Difficult it was to realize that the cast was made up !of the pupils in this junior high and that the paid attendance here was looking on a scene better por- trayed, with actors better cos- tumed, and on a stage better fitted for production of an operetta than can be found in some cities.
o b o d y ~riticizes individual work in such an effort. Nobody wants to do that, and if they did so desire they wouldn't dare. Praise, individually bestowed is sometimes just as dangerous be- cause it is in effect comparison. ' Here was a case, however, where a large cast was concerned, where it was difficult to pick out indi- viduals for praise. It was so gen-1 erally true that the possibilities of every part played had been reached that the audience was content to label it e ·cellent.
