The theme of the operetta was a program of music and was divided in- to three divisions Part l represented three forms of entertainment which were in vogue about the same time. The first scene represented the mid- nineteenth - century type of sentimental popular ballad and popular group country dance. The interlude recalls the early music hall days. Part 2 is a glimpse of the early minstrel show, before ir's decline, and Part 3 a regular vaudville filled with popular songs and modern dances. Some of the numbers in the operetta were Beautiful Dreamer, Old Zip Coon, l'Ohl Dem Golden Slippers, In the Good Old Summer Time and many others, includirig currently popular songs.

This choir is rapidly coming one of the foremost projects of the school as it has worked out a program which has never before been followed by any choir in Central. Last year the choir gave a Joint benefit program with the band on November 6, 1935. This year a tea dance and party were given and the profit was added to other funds and blue and white choir robes were bought.

Its trophies and honors are bec,ming equal to these of football and basketball. Yet, as comp, pared with football and basketball, little is known of these speech activities bv those not directly connected .vith them. For these reasons, we should like to pass on a bit of information. There are seven distinct phases oi speech work at Central aside fro.n the regular speech classes. These are first, debatesg second, the 6X4lGIHDJI'dI1c'1:lUi events: third, the state discussion contestg fourth, the declamation contestg fifth, oratorical events: sixth, social activities: and last but by no means least affairs to earn money with which to finance the other events. The state oratorical contest sponsored by the Indiana State Bar Assoc- iation was discontinued in 1932, but the citizenship department of the Fort Wayne Womans LZIUD has continued to sponser a city oratorical contest for the high schools of the city. Among the extemporaneaus activities, we find the Kigar contest, Fresh- man-Sophmore contest, the Rotary Club contest, and the City Extemporan- eus contest. The Kigar coritest is probably the one of the greatest school importance. Robert H.Smith was judged winner ot this contest in the fall semester. Central has always held her own in debating circles. This year partic- ularly, since she has advanced well into the state finals at this time. Columbia City. Larwill, Bippus, Huntington Tw'p., Ossian, Angola, Albian, Wolf Lake.
