They were the dedicated youngsters who attend the Chinese Opera School on the outskirts of Taipei. ‘Outskirts’ is the right word. A taxi or a chartered bus takes you far outside the city, with the Grand Hotel on its high hill lost in the distance, and the Martyr’s Shrine left behind. An Opera School such as this one in Taiwan, cannot operate in a city. It needs space, and it needs country air, and it needs earmuffs for everybody within range of magnified human voices. It is a noisy institution, and the noise starts with the first bird song. Children yell to expand their lungs, and they sing at the top of their voices, the louder the better. They do all this before break- fast, the fifty girls and the thirty boys, at a time of day when most people prefer to: sleep. ¢ Two years ago the Opera School moved from more con- gested quarters to the open hills, built new structures, and set up shop. Arrangements are austere. ~ Dormitories provide no luxuries other than the bare necessities. The school has been in opera- tion for thirteen years, It takes children of eight as beginners, © education until they are in their and continues with their opera late teens. Normal schooling is not ignored. The children rise at dawn and devote the entire morning to acrobatics, voice culture, dramatics, and instru- mental’ music. In the after noon they study the hard core of learning. In the evening they fall into bed, worn out. The government pays the bill. Admission to the Opera School is eagerly sought. There is a long waiting list. The children can take it. We saw one large practice room where rows of 8-year olds stood like statues, holding one leg straight up over the head, an arm clasped about the ankle to keep it in position. When we of the Weekly Newpaper Editorial Conference felt we could endure it no longer, the order came to lower the leg, and everybody breathed deeply. But not for long. Up went the other leg at the command, and the statues looked straight ahead, "eyes unblinking. For 15 minutes. Add to this that many of the girls were en point, in an odd sort of wooden toe shoe that simulates the ancient bound foot. One of the little girls demon- strated. She sat down on a stool and unwound an incredi- ble number of yards of white bandage to reveal the wooden toe shoe. This, she slipped off, and rested her foot beside it on the floor. The contrast as amazing.’ The wooden support Wilkes-Barre Ceramic Wall Tile All Colors 45¢ sq. ft. Free Loan of Cutter Goodyear Instant Floor 12’x12” Solid Vinyl Peel & Stick 12 colors. 39¢ ea.

Szela, son of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Szela of 310 Carverton Road, Trucks- ville. Miss McKenzie is a gradu- ate of Bellwood High School, and is presently enrolled at the Illinois State University, major- ing in elementary education. Mr. Szela was graduated from Dallas High School and In- dustrial Management Institute of Reading, Pa. Prior to entering the service, he was employed by the Bendix Avia- tion Corp. Montrose, Pa., as a design draftsman. At present Mr. Szela is stationed at Del Rio, Tex., serving as an in- structor with the Air Force. A fall wedding is planned. MISS NANCY McKENZIE e uprig down, and the effect had been that of a bound foot two inches lohg, something which is re- ‘quired in a number of the operas. It is only during the past century that high-born women have been emancipated from the torture of the bound foot. At about that moment, an eight year old boy in a stylized set of chin whiskers scowled ferociously and went into his song and dance, other dancers going through a series of con- tortions that were nothing less. than extraordinary, presenting a brief extract from an opera. Whiskers won. He was one of the good guys. In another room, children were lined ‘up, singing their loudest against a weird caco- phany of stringed instruments, each group set on outdoing the other. It was a draw, but it was easy to see why the school had been obliged to move out of town. In a private room, two boys were learning how to project their voices. Paying no atten- tion to the spectators who were peering in at the door, they ex- panded their chests and shouted the words. The boys and girls work in ‘“fatigues,’’ outfits of blue denim pants with a red stripe down the seams, and shirts. These are provided by the govern- ment, along with board, lodging, instruction, and pocket money. Children undergo a proba- tionary period of three months before being- accepted on a permanent basis for the eight year course. Primary instruction goes on for two years; intermediate for three; and senior for another three. Nobody said anything about time off to play. But at least they make plenty of noise, and they work off steam at an astonishing rate.
