A large number of peopla- attended the Art Exhibit at Howard school May 18. The exhibition was not only an art exhibit but an exhibition of the work of the pupils. The exhibition took in all the grades including kindergarten. The kind~rgarten had a gre!lt variety of remarkable things for children of kindergarten age to be able to make. One of these things was a bus made of cardboard, chairs were put in to make seabl. There was also a summer resort made in the sandpile. Furniture was also on exhibition that was madP. by the children. The first · grade had a luge doll house. The desks of the children each had a little pot of artificial ftowers besidel' a book of pictures about homellfe. The second grade had a remarkable farm made by the pupils. Pictures were ,pasted on the blackboard. The third grade had design~ made of difte~nt colored paper. There was a frieze of pioneer days in Chicago and a scene of Chicago today. The fourth grade had a fri eze of Switzerland, showing the St. Gothard Tunnel with a train going over. There were po~ters showing children's sports in winter that WE're done in silhouette.

Besides these the seventh grade had a great variety of beautiful mapli all ma..de by the pupils. The eighth grade had folders C(lntaining composition:;.:, penmanship, etc. AU together the exhibition was a great success. The manual tt·aining- room ~howed a lot ot hard work on tht> part of the boys of the different grade:-:. -Robert ~parks , 8B Howard BY CHESTER HANSON Ft·iday night, .May 11, at tlie Howard School auditorium, the Wilmette Public school orchestra had its annual Spring concert. The Howard and Stolp Glee clubs also had their~ at the same time. The audience was a lat·ge one, · including many people from out of town. The orchestra. opened the program by playing, "Selections from Aida," by Verdi. Robert McKav and Joseph Hayes played a trumpet and cornet solo, respectively. This nun1ber was played very well, all of the members of the orchestra trying very hard to make it a success. An equal amount of credit should go to the leader of the orchestra- Miss Catherine Grannuist, who is a very capable director. The Howard school Boys' Glee Club then sang two numbers, "Anchored" by Watson-Cowen, and "Spring's in the Air," by Gardner. These numbers were greeted by a I!'JE'at amount of applause. Mi~s Be-tty Scheidler is the director· of the boys' and girls' · Glee Clubs of Howard. · T,lle next number on the l>rogram was the Stolp Girl~' Glee club. They sang "Strawberrv Fair," by Protheroe, and "Trees," by Rashbach. These selections were · gre-eted with tremendous applause. The Orchestra then played "lfelody in F," bv Rub~nstein, and "Spanish Dance," by Englema.nn. The orche~tra was again applauded greatly. The- Howard S(·hool Girls sang ··sundm\'n (Londonderry Air), by \Yilson-'l'illot~on, and "Greeting to Spring-," by Strausr--\\'ilson. · These selections were greett."d with much applause. Then the Stolp Boys' Glee f'lub sang two numbers. "Pale Moon," by Logan, and "!\[a' Littll" Banjo," by Strauss-Wilson. TIH' aPJllaUH<' for these two numbers wa:-; both long and hearty. The Stolp Gl eE> Clubs owe most of their <;ucce~~ to their director, MrK Agnes Clark, and their accompani:-:t.

Joie Ray and Morgan Taylor, two international stars, are among the number whom Mr. Behr has coached and wiU take to Holland. This will be the first time ··Johnnie" has been to Europe. He. was never anything but a middle distance runner. so he says, but the fact remains that he has turned out one winning team after another for the club. Mr. Behr will first take his men to Detroit, where, on June 29 and 30, they will perfunn in the semi-final try-outs. Only those who are winners there will be eligible for the national finals.
