Teeny-boppers arrive
Educational conference call them to The Hill; after they leave, KU knew they were here
Twelve times each year 13,000 of them swarm over the KU campus.

They are the high school students who throng here on special high school days.
When they arrive they are easily noticed. There is a rush at the Kansas Union. They fill the cafeteria and Hawk's Nest. Vending machines empty rapidly. These are days the KU student goes hungry, unless he arrives first.
THE KANSAS UNION Bookstore supply of Jayhawk novelties dwindles. Sweatshirts, stuffed Jayhawks, decals, pennants, and postcards are big sales items.
The students attend their conferences, but they also visit the musuems—Natural History, Spooner Art, Geology and the showcases of Snow Hall. They pack the Kansas Union lobbies, and—would you believe—the barberships!
They eat, buy, see and jam into everything. At the same time they learn.
LEADERSHIP DAY, sponsored by the Associated Women Students (AWS), shows the visiting high school junior and senior women leaders the opportunities of higher education as well as the KU facilities and curriculum.
These women are introduced to personnel and academic deans and visit residence halls.
The Journalism Conference is designed primarily to acquaint the students and advisers with the production of high school publications.
The journalism high school students are given
an opportunity to discuss publication problems with experienced journalists and to exchange ideas with other students.
HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Day is an opportunity for KU to encourage string playing and show music students the campus.
The largest single group visits the campus on Band Day. This year's Band Day had its trials with 5,000 students.
The morning they marched down Massachusetts St. it was 22 degrees. The trombone slides and trumpet valves froze.
THERE WERE MORE problems when the bands shuffled onto the field during half-time at the Colorado University-KU game. The bands were so crowded together, it was difficult to keep a steady beat. Players could not hear his own music.
Another of the larger conferences involves the art department. The 24th art conference attracted 2,400 high school students on March 31.
Both KU faculty and high school students gave demonstrations in the art department studios on the third floor of Strong Hall.
At the speech festivals, area high schools present one act plays, duet acting, readings, oral prose and poetry interpretations, extempore speeches and original orations.
