Camp to Observe 25th Anniversary
By Janice Pauls
A quarter century of service and inspiration for high school students will be observed this summer, June 17-July 29, when the Midwestern Music and Art Camp celebrates its silver anniversary.
Russell Wiley, professor of band and orchestra, has directed the camp since he founded it during the depression days of 1935. The first session of camp had an enrollment of 25 high school students.
THE FIRST PARTICIPANTS primarily were from Kansas, but today although Kansas still boasts the largest attendance, the national scope of the program includes high school students from all over the United States.
The band camp, as it was called in those days, started out with a small instrumental band. Later, it expanded to include orchestra and then choir, and gradually it began a multi-phase program.
Last year 33 states were represented and the number is expected to reach 40 this summer, according to Prof. Wiley. The camp anticipates a record attendance for the silver anniversary session.
Approximately 13,000 high school boys and girls who have attended the camp over the past 25 years have come from all the 50 states and seven different countries.
IN ADDITION TO THE KU music faculty, the campers will be instructed by several guest conductors Iszler Solomon, conductor of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra; Commander Charles Brendert, leader of the U.S. Navy Band, and Gene Kenney, choral director of Texas Technical College, are three of the conductors.
In addition to the senior high music division, two sessions of junior high music also will be conducted. July 1-14 will feature band, orchestra and chorus. However, orchestra will be dropped during the second session, July 15-28.
Prof. Wiley will direct these sessions, assisted by Gerald Carney, associate professor of music.
THE SENIOR HIGH GROUP, which has grown annually for 25 years, is expected to have 400 participants this summer. Prof. Wiley
said he hopes for as many in the junior high group.
Other divisions and their directors are art, Marjorie Whitney, professor of design; theater, William Kuhike, instructor of speech and drama; speech, Wilmer Linkugel, assistant professor of speech and drama; ballet, Robert E. Bell, director of ballet at Oklahoma City University, and Mrs. Marguerite Reed, of Tulsa, Okla.
The divisions of theater, speech, ballet, and engineering are limited to 20 to 50 participants while art and science may handle 120 and 100 respectively.
Science, Robert Baxter, associate professor of botany; engineering, Fred Smithmeyer, assistant professor of engineering, and a combination of journalism and TV, Burton W. Marvin, Dean of the School of Journalism, and Bruce Linton, professor of journalism.
The campers will live in Lewis and Templein Halls and receive food service in the dining rooms of Lewis Hall.
