Greatly increased enrollment has ne- cessitated changes in the class sched- ules and t he faculty is prepared to launch out upon what is confidently expected to be the record year in the history of the school. Although registration figures had not been computed at this time it is expected the total enrollment may exceed 1.200. a heavy increase over last year. The large enrollment of first year students in the summer school indicated a substantial in- crease in the regular school terms. New Faculty Members Several new instructors have been added to the High school faculty ad- ding materially to the strength of the .teaching corps. Among these are Mathilda Bertram Ph.

The naming of head coach Linden has been received with great enthusiasm by the students. Coach Linden has had extensive experience Perhaps the best relief for nervous tension is the maintaining of an Aquarium with numerous specie of fish, together with the plants, snails and other details which go to make up a small world of Aquatic life. An Aquarium, properly balanced with the right amount of plant*life; Jatjd -the right number of fish, is a thing of beauty and interest, and a delightful hobby for anyone. K. Fred Lechler, 210 Fifth street, comments after that fashion, and lias established . the raising of Tropical fish as a pastime. He has succeeded, this summer, in breeding the rare and beautiful Pearl Danio. Another very interesting fish, one of Mr. Lcchler's favorites, is the Rainbow Fish or Guppy from the West Indies. This fish is peculiar in -that it gives birth to live young ones. The male fish is very beautifully marked and col- ored, no two ^of the .species being marked alike. The Guppy is especial- ly adaptable for the out-door Lily- pond. This fish will consume large quantities of mosquito larva. SCHOOL OPENS SEPTEMBER 12 Monday.

Linden and Stokes have a real task before them, too. George Bud and Herbert Bartelman are the s,olc "survivors4* of the great football team that represented New Trier last season. Then, there is some promis- ing material such as Wood, Munlock, Leffingwell and At wood. With these men as a. nucleus the coaches are confident of building up an eleven that will be in the fighting through- out the season. Increased__attendance at the high school has necessitated alteration in assembly periods. An announcement by Principal Tubbs states there will be only one assembly period a week this year, and because of the increas- ed number of students it has been found necessary to divide the perfecT into two groups. The Freshmen and Sophomores Assembly will be the sec- ond period every Friday, and the Juniors and Seniors the third period on that clay of the week.
