The advantage OF specialists in the
\ Community Center department was
never more emphasized than during the
past "opera week" at the Central High
Community Center.
| Mr. and Mrs. Rollin Bond, with the
opportunity of using the Wilson Normal
Community Center as studio for the
rehearsals OF the Washingtonians this
winter. were enabled to place before the
public at community prices the opera
of Faust" in English. Their ability,
leadership and experience brought out
to advantage the full. fine voices. the
| stage presence and the dramatic art OF
the community group.
| The group had the advantage of
| learning tho opera under capable lead
| ership. The public had the opportunity
to hear the beautiful music. well rem
| dered, at prices within the reach Of the
4 average wage Garner.
| Enthusiastic leaders and specialists in
| community work are valuable. There
| is need of them in the Community
! Center department OF the public schools.
Each community should have leaders or
| specialists in the lines Of activities best
suited to its needs. Lack Of funds by
the department holds back this devel-
opment.
| Miss Cecil p. Norton, general direc-
tor Community Center department,
| Franklin School, welcomes any sugges-
J ton as to the means Of giving enthu-
siastic and capable leadership to COM
/ munhy groups along the lines Of dra-
rhythmic dancing, folk dancing. or
along the lines of artistic or practical
l development.
